Bao'an is located 1,944 km south of Beijing, so Dhuhr in Bao'an comes roughly 10 minutes later than in Beijing. The gap is due to longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Bao'an.
Finding the Qibla from Bao'an
In Bao'an you pray towards the west, at an angle of 285.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 7,550 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Bao'an and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
