Prayer Times in Wuyishan, China

About the times on this page

Sunrise 6:17 am, sunset 5:26 pm — about 11 hours and 9 minutes of daylight in Wuyishan today. Prayer times are anchored to the sun rather than the clock, so as that figure grows and shrinks across the year, every time below moves with it.

For tahajjud

Between Isha at 6:56 pm and Fajr at 4:56 am there are about 10 hours. 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.

Season by season in Wuyishan

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

Today's timetable

Fajr is at 4:56 am — early, and in darkness. By 6:17 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Next is Dhuhr at 11:52 am, then Asr in the afternoon at 3:49 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:26 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 6:56 pm. That gives Wuyishan roughly 11 hours and 9 minutes of daylight today.

Suhoor and iftar in Wuyishan

Suhoor closes at 4:56 am in Wuyishan, with iftar at 5:26 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 30 minutes, going by today's figures. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The direction of prayer

From this city the direction is west-north-west, or 284° if you prefer the number. The distance works out to about 7,807 kilometres, or 4,851 miles. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. 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.
