What time is it in Jinzhou (Liaoning) right now?
The time in Jinzhou (Liaoning), China is 10:36 am, 10:36 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Asia/Shanghai rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Jinzhou (Liaoning) sits at 39.10 degrees north and 121.72 degrees east, at a middle latitude and 4,348 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 120.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 1.7 degrees east of that line. Those 1.7 degrees are worth 6 minutes 52 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:44 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Moon phase over Jinzhou (Liaoning) tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.0 days into its cycle and about 98% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 12:11 pm Shanghai time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 11:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Jinzhou (Liaoning) clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Jinzhou (Liaoning)
There is no clock change scheduled in Asia/Shanghai within the next 400 days, so Jinzhou (Liaoning) stays at UTC+8 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Jinzhou (Liaoning) an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.
How far Jinzhou (Liaoning) is from other cities
Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Jinzhou (Liaoning) is Dalian, China at 23 km, and the furthest is Mar del Plata, Argentina at 19,877 km, which is 99% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Jinzhou (Liaoning)
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Jinzhou (Liaoning), China and you come out at 39.10 degrees south, 58.28 degrees west. That point is near Mar del Plata, Argentina. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Mar del Plata, Argentina, 138 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 11:36 pm on Saturday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 39.10 degrees north becomes 39.10 degrees south, and 121.72 degrees east becomes 58.28 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Jinzhou (Liaoning) is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-4, roughly twelve hours from Jinzhou (Liaoning), because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Jinzhou (Liaoning)
Today the sun rises in Jinzhou (Liaoning) at 5:45 am and sets at 5:43 pm, giving 11 hours 58 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Jinzhou (Liaoning).

Sun and moon in Jinzhou (Liaoning) today
The sun is up in Jinzhou (Liaoning) for 11 hours 58 minutes today, from 5:45 am to 5:43 pm. The moon sets in Jinzhou (Liaoning) at 6:07 am and comes up again at 5:44 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.
| Sun | Time in Jinzhou (Liaoning) |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 4:16 am |
| Nautical dawn | 4:47 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:18 am |
| Sunrise | 5:45 am |
| Solar noon | 11:44 am |
| Sunset | 5:43 pm |
| Civil dusk | 6:10 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 6:41 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 7:12 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Jinzhou (Liaoning) | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:18 am to 5:29 am | 0h 10m |
| Morning golden hour | 5:29 am to 6:20 am | 0h 52m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:08 pm to 5:59 pm | 0h 52m |
| Evening blue hour | 5:59 pm to 6:10 pm | 0h 10m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Jinzhou (Liaoning) |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 5:44 pm |
| Moonset | 6:07 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waning |
| Illumination | 100% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 16.0 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 377,700 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Sunday, September 27, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Jinzhou (Liaoning) and Los Angeles are 15 hours apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 4:00 pm in Jinzhou (Liaoning) it is working hours in Jinzhou (Liaoning), London and Delhi, but outside them in Los Angeles and New York. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Jinzhou (Liaoning)
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Jinzhou (Liaoning), China at 39.10 degrees north, 121.72 degrees east, on the clock of Asia/Shanghai. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.
| Date | Fajr | Sunrise | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday September 27 | 4:16 am | 5:45 am | 11:44 am | 3:07 pm | 5:43 pm | 7:07 pm |

| Saturday October 3 | 4:22 am | 5:51 am | 11:42 am | 3:00 pm | 5:33 pm | 6:57 pm |
Dhuhr is solar noon at Jinzhou (Liaoning), China, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Jinzhou (Liaoning)
From Jinzhou (Liaoning), China the qibla is 282.3 degrees on a true compass, which is west-northwest, or 12.3 degrees south of due west. The Kaaba is 7,850 km away, 4,878 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Jinzhou (Liaoning), China to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Jinzhou (Liaoning), China before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
Put a Jinzhou (Liaoning) clock on your site
A live clock showing the current time in Jinzhou (Liaoning), China, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Asia/Shanghai from the time zone database, so it stays right when Jinzhou (Liaoning) changes its clocks, and it shows CST to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
