Prayer Times in Zhaoqing, China

About the times on this page

Season by season in Zhaoqing

Across the year the Zhaoqing timetable shifts by an hour or two at each end — long summer evenings push Isha back, short winter days crowd Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib together.

How the day runs in Zhaoqing

Fajr opens the day at 5:16 am, well before first light. You have until 6:34 am, when the sun comes up. Dhuhr follows at 12:14 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 4:17 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:53 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:23 pm. Around 11 hours and 19 minutes of daylight, all told.

Suhoor and iftar in Zhaoqing

The fasting day here runs 5:16 am to 5:53 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 37 minutes. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

Where these times come from

These times follow 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. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Qibla from Zhaoqing

The qibla from here runs west-north-west, a bearing of about 284°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 7,396 km — 4,595 miles — from here. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.
