Yushu is located 1,891 km west of Beijing, so Dhuhr in Yushu comes about 78 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 Yushu.
Finding the Qibla from Yushu
In Yushu you face towards the west, at an angle of 272.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 5,730 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Yushu and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
