Prayer Times in Nantong, China

What these times mean for Nantong

Sunrise 6:10 am, sunset 5:10 pm — about 11 hours of daylight in Nantong today. That number is the one driving the whole timetable: lengthen the day and Isha moves back, shorten it and the afternoon prayers crowd together.

Nearby cities

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.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Face west-north-west — roughly 284° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. That puts the Kaaba roughly 7,958 km — 4,945 miles — from here. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.

What changes between summer and winter

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Nantong 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.

How the day runs in Nantong

Everything begins with Fajr, 4:45 am today. Sunrise at 6:10 am closes that window. Next is Dhuhr at 11:40 am, then Asr in the afternoon at 3:33 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:10 pm; Isha is the last, at 6:40 pm. That is some 11 hours between the sun coming up and going down.

The night in between

Between Isha at 6:40 pm and Fajr at 4:45 am there are about 10 hours and 5 minutes. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

If you are fasting

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:45 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:10 pm. Around 12 hours and 25 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

How the times are worked out

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.
