When will the Big Dipper be visible?

The Big Dipper is visible every day of the year in the northernmost place in China (Mohe, Heilongjiang Province) (but the weather requires good weather and no obstruction by clouds, mountains, houses, etc.).

The following takes central Henan Province as an example to give the time when the Big Dipper is visible:

Approximately 20:30-02 o'clock on June 23.

On March 23, approximately 19:30-05:45.

I saw the mouth of the spoon (at low altitude from north to northeast) at 21:30 on December 23. After that, it gradually became higher and easier to see. It was not visible until dawn around 06:40. .

The best time to see the Big Dipper is around 19:30 on September 23 (at this time it is in the lower sky from north to northeast). After that, the Big Dipper gradually gets closer to the horizon (or is hidden by the mountains). Even if there is no obstruction, it will be submerged in the dense atmosphere, making it extremely difficult to see.) It was not until 05:00-05:20 the next day that the spoon mouth of the Big Dipper was seen again at a low altitude from the north to the northeast. It's almost dawn and I can't see it anymore.

The above has been simulated using the "Virtual Planetarium". Since you didn't say where, what month or what season, I can only answer you this way.
