Tibet lies 2,564 km west of Beijing, so Dhuhr in Tibet comes roughly 101 minutes later than in Beijing. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Tibet.
Qibla direction in Tibet
In Tibet you pray towards the west, at an angle of 272.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 5,184 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Tibet 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.
