Changsha is located 1,231 km south-west of Beijing, so Dhuhr in Changsha is called about 32 minutes later than in Beijing. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Changsha.
