Prayer Times in Guangyuan, China

Prayer times in Guangyuan

Guangyuan prays Fajr at 5:47 am today, with Maghrib at 6:08 pm and Isha at 7:38 pm. Each of them moves slightly from one day to the next; the page rebuilds daily, so what you see is current.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

The sun reaches its high point roughly 40 minutes after noon here. Hence Dhuhr at 12:40 pm, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Through the year

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Guangyuan 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.

Other China timetables

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.

The night in between

From Isha to Fajr is around 10 hours and 9 minutes at the moment. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr is at 5:47 am — early, and in darkness. Sunrise at 7:12 am closes that window. Dhuhr follows at 12:40 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 4:31 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 6:08 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:38 pm. That gives Guangyuan roughly 10 hours and 56 minutes of daylight today.
