Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in China
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 2 cities.
How China decides
Practice varies across China: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
Not verified. China's Hui and Uyghur Muslim communities are reported by moonsighting.com to use differing methods for lunar-month dates -- some following an online calculation calendar and others local sighting -- rather than one unified national authority. Government restrictions on public religious practice, including limits on fasting in Xinjiang, make an authoritative and independently verifiable start date difficult to source, so both dates are recorded as null rather than guessed.
