Hi,
TZ identifiers are generally of the form Continent/City, so Hong Kong is
listed as Asia/Hong_Kong. A (non-canonical) list is available at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
They are not generally supposed to be exposed to end-users, and it is
likely that the tool you are using is mis-presenting this.
