Prayer Times in Chongzuo, China

What these times mean for Chongzuo

Today in Chongzuo, Fajr is at 5:36 am and the day closes with Isha at 7:44 pm. Each of them moves slightly from one day to the next; the page rebuilds daily, so what you see is current.

The clock against the sun

The sun reaches its high point roughly 34 minutes after noon here. Hence Dhuhr at 12:34 pm, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

If you are travelling

China has 180 other cities covered on this site. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

How the day runs in Chongzuo

Fajr opens the day at 5:36 am, well before first light. You have until 6:54 am, when the sun comes up. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:34 pm, and Asr at 4:38 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 6:14 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:44 pm. Around 11 hours and 20 minutes of daylight, all told.

Qibla from Chongzuo

How much the times move

Across the year the Chongzuo timetable shifts by an hour or two at each end — long summer evenings push Isha back, short winter days crowd Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib together.

Fasting hours

The fasting day here runs 5:36 am to 6:14 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 38 minutes. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.
