Prayer Times in Taishan, China

Taishan prayer times explained

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

Fasting hours

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:14 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:53 pm. Around 12 hours and 39 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

How much the times move

Taishan sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.

From Fajr to Isha

Everything begins with Fajr, 5:14 am today. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:32 am. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:13 pm, and Asr at 4:17 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:53 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:23 pm. That is some 11 hours and 21 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

The direction of prayer

Face west-north-west — roughly 285° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. Makkah is around 7,450 kilometres (4,629 miles) away in a straight line.

The calculation behind them

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. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.
