Frequently Asked Questions
What is the moon phase tonight in China?
The moon phase tonight is the same across all of China and every time zone — only the moonrise and moonset times differ by city. Select any city below to see its current phase, illumination percentage, and moon age on moonlightphase.com, updated hourly.
What time does the moon rise in China today?
Moonrise and moonset times vary by city and shift by roughly 50 minutes each day. Open Beijing — or any China city below — for today's exact moonrise and moonset, calculated by moonlightphase.com from the city's coordinates.
When is the next full moon in China?
A full moon occurs at the same instant everywhere on Earth, so it falls on the same date across all of China. See every upcoming full moon date on our full moon calendar, or open any city below for a live countdown to the next full moon.
Is the moon phase the same across China?
Yes — the moon phase (New Moon, Full Moon, and so on) is identical across China and worldwide. What changes by location is the exact moonrise and moonset time, which is why moonlightphase.com calculates times from each city's own coordinates.
Does the Moon look different in China?
China is in the Northern Hemisphere, so a waxing moon is lit on its right side and a waning moon on its left. In the Southern Hemisphere (for example Australia) this is reversed. The phase itself, and the date of each phase, is the same worldwide.
What time zones does China use for moonrise times?
The China cities listed here span 2 time zones (Asia/Hong Kong, Asia/Shanghai). Moonrise and moonset are shown in each city's own local time, so the same phase rises at different clock times across the country.
