Hyesan is located 334 km north-east of Pyongyang, so Dhuhr in Hyesan is called roughly 10 minutes earlier than in Pyongyang. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Hyesan.
