Baoshan lies 1,051 km south-east of Beijing, so Dhuhr in Baoshan is called roughly 20 minutes earlier than in Beijing. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Baoshan.

We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Baoshan and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).
