How prayer times are calculated in China

Pages for China use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in the local time of each city (UTC+8; UTC+6). In the capital Beijing, Fajr is around 2:43 AM and Maghrib 7:46 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:54 AM and Maghrib at 4:52 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 20 min to 15 h.

Our cities in China stretch from Kashgar in the west to Fuyuan in the east, and from Xilinji in the north to Sanya in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Fuyuan about 233 minutes before Kashgar, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Beijing is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in China

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Beijing lasts about 11 h 57 min at the start of the month and 13 h 07 min at the end, with imsak at 5:35 AM and iftar at 5:41 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or go through the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable ready to print and links to nearby cities.
