Current time in Kaohsiung

Local time in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, runs on the Asia/Taipei time zone (UTC+8). The clock and dates at the top of this page are computed live for that zone, so they stay correct for Kaohsiung wherever in the world you happen to be reading from. Where daylight saving time applies, the offset can move by an hour between summer and winter.

Sitting at a latitude of about 22.6° in the northern hemisphere, Kaohsiung's day length varies gently across the seasons. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.

The prayer times shown for Kaohsiung are calculated using the Muslim World League. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn.
