Can you see the Big Dipper in summer in Beijing?

Yes, because I am an astronomy enthusiast myself. So, I'd better know something. In Beijing, you can see the Big Dipper from July to August.

After nightfall in the middle and late August, Nandou is located 20-28 degrees south of the horizon, at a high point. At this time, the Big Dipper is located in the northwest and its height is between 20 and 40 degrees.

We can see Nandou and Beidou at the same time. There is no moonlight interference in early August, which is a good time to observe the northern corona, southern corona, Beidou and Nandou. We can go out to look for them at 9 pm local time or around 10.
