ISS passes over Xi'an: when to see the space station
3 visible passes of the International Space Station over Xi'an, China in the next 7 days — the next one Thu 29 Oct, 06:31 local, rising in the N and reaching 15° above the horizon.
Computed here from the current NORAD two-line element set with SGP4 — not a copied table. Only passes that are genuinely visible are listed: the station must be sunlit while your sky is already dark, and climb at least 10° above the horizon. Times are local to Xi'an.
The A3 chart of this sky draws these passes on the disc — $4.99

Put your own sky on the wall
Firmament prints the real sky over any place and moment as an A3 star chart — and it is the only one that draws these ISS tracks on the disc, so the poster shows the station crossing your own sky.
Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
