Why is Google Search giving me different values for "Time zone [city]" versus "Time in [city]"?

If I do a Google Search for "Time zone Ulaanbaatar", I get, inter alia,

Ulaanbaatar Time Zone UTC+08:00

However, if I do "Time in Ulaanbaatar", I get

10:42 am
Sunday, 21 August 2016 (GMT+9)
Time in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Why do I get 8 hours for one result, and 9 hours for the other one?

I don't understand the difference between UTC or GMT, or the difference between asking about the time in a place and a place's time zone, but Mongolia re-introduced daylight saving time in 2015, and it's still in use this year. From Mongolia to go into daylight saving time this month by B.Khuder:

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ In accordance with the cabinet resolution, the time zones of Mongolia will transmit into the daylight saving time.

The time zones will go into the summer time at 12.00 am on March 25. It means that all in Mongolia must adjust their clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to the standard time, so the evening daylight is experienced an hour longer. The period of summer time will continue until September 30.

Mongolia observes two time zones, the west Mongolia observes UTC +7, while the central and east--UTC +8. The country abolished the use of daylight saving time in 2007, but restarted it in March of 2015.
