Prayer Times in Gaozhou, China

About the times on this page

There are around 9 hours and 51 minutes between Isha and Fajr in Gaozhou just now. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

If you are fasting

Stop eating by 5:22 am; break the fast at 6:01 pm. That is about 12 hours and 39 minutes on today's times. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

The yearly swing

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Gaozhou brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.

Where these times come from

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Gaozhou today, prayer by prayer

Everything begins with Fajr, 5:22 am today. Sunrise at 6:40 am closes that window. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:20 pm, and Asr at 4:25 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 6:01 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 7:31 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 11 hours and 21 minutes.

Finding the qibla

Turn west-north-west, about 284°, for the qibla. That puts the Kaaba roughly 7,266 km — 4,515 miles — from here.
