Prayer Times in Taiyuan, China

Prayer times in Taiyuan

The night in Taiyuan runs about 10 hours and 18 minutes at the moment — Isha at 7:04 pm to Fajr at 5:22 am. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

The yearly swing

Summer and winter look like different timetables entirely in Taiyuan. The times can shift by several hours between the two ends of the year.

Ramadan timings

The fasting day here runs 5:22 am to 5:34 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 12 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Qibla from Taiyuan

If you are travelling

China has 180 other cities covered on this site. The list under the timetable below will take you to any of them.

How the times are worked out

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. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr is at 5:22 am — early, and in darkness. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:53 am. Dhuhr 12:13 pm, Asr 3:54 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:34 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:04 pm. Around 10 hours and 41 minutes of daylight, all told.
