The picture's at an angle. You can see the triangle-shaped support legs and if you follow them with a line, the buildings are not actually in the way.

Yeah he seems to be looking at the top of the gantry cranes and seeing it "overlying" the buildings and thus the buildings look "in the way".
But instead he should be looking at the base of the gantry cranes that move along the rails on the ground, and it is obvious that their path is unimpeded and goes along the length of the 355m shipyard and to the staging area adjacent to it as well.

I found this image dated December 2020. There was a type 052D or DL at this location, probably for out-fitting after launch on the other side of Dalian Bay. So there is some kind of connection between this shipyard and the one that built many type 052D/055 on the other side of the Dalian bay.
Isn't this one belong to the same Dalian Shipyard (but at a different location, opposite the bay area)?

Possible. But I cannot confirm.
Again I went back to many older GE satellite images. I found this site had fabricated some large unknown modules which were sent by barge to some where else. So this place is like a fabrication yard and also an out-fitting place for a few type 052D/DL, probably for fitting of bow sonar. Also its dry docks is well suitable for construction of aircraft carrier size ships.

That there is actually a 055, just thought I'd point it out.
After some digging it turns out that that particular yard used to be a repair and maintenance shipyard (built in 2009) operated by the Korean firm Daeyang under JV with DSIC until 2015 when Daeyang became insolvent and the yard was subsequently absorbed by DSIC -
Some technical specs of the yard -
| Description: | Dalian Daeyang Shipyard (DDSY) is subsidiary to Daeyang Shipping CO., Ltd, which is headquartered in Seoul, Korea. DDSY initiated operation in June, 2009 specializing in large ship repair & conversion, offshore project (FPSO, drill rig) repair, conversion and newbuilding. DDSY extends 560,000 sqm. in area, equipped with 2 dry docks of 300,000 DWT (360m x 78m x 13.5m) & 100,000DWT (250m x 41m x 12.5m), 4 piers total 1,310 meters in length, and other state-of-art facilities, which is designed for the capacity of 150 vessels' repair and conversion per year, which turns out an annual production value of US$1,000,000,000. The yard is Close to Dayaowan Port, there is only 3 sea miles from the no.1 / 2 anchorage of Dalian Port, (yard's anchorage area: 38°57'57"N / 121°49'49"E), the min-draft of yard's sea-route is 15 meters. The max height of tide water is 3.75 meters. The min draft in front of no.1 & 2 dry-docks gate is 9.5 meters. Since the foundation in 2005, encouraged by the goal of becoming a world-class shipyard, DDSY has endeavored to provide the second-to-none quality services to customers, and play a leading role in the industry it serves. |
| Quays: | 420m x 13,25m, 390m x 13,25m, 280m x 12,25m, 310m x 12,25m |
| Workforce: | 10,000 |
| Cranage: | 1x50t, 2x45t, 3x32t, 2x30t, 1x 400t |
So it appears the Dagushan yard is indeed under the same DSIC umbrella.

This could be of some relevance. A procurement document issued by Dalian shipyard that announces the winning bid for a training course/service for a particular digital/software platform (?). The winner is (核动力运行研究所) based in Wuhan. Not sure about the nature of the bid, but it could be for training Dalian shipyard's personnel on RINPO's in-house digital design/IT platform.
More on this particular one (especially the red-circled part):

According to him, Dalian DSIC plans to conduct a major upgrade and reconstruction project on the facilities and systems at the DSIC 3rd yard (i.e. Dagushan), which includes the dry docks, slipways, module staging yards, pre-outfitting plants(?) and related dredging works.
It should also noted that the digitalization and nuclear safety training (as quoted by @by78 in the previous post) will also be conducted at Dagushan.
