Hmmm .. seems as if there are more J-15 prototypes around and if this is 556 and the one below 552 or 553 is it save to assume that there are at least 6 prorotypes around ???

First picture,
did you guy notice the ski jump in the back ground.
This i not @Shengyang.
Yepp ... isn't this the new naval training base at Xingcheng / Huangdicun (via "franco-russe": 40 30 24 N / 120 39 21 E)
Besides that IMO think it confirms reports about several more (I somewhere read 5-6) prototypes already under test.

Yes This is a new training field they have constructed to support the carrier project.
The entire project include the building of atleast 3 new "naval air stations" , plus 3 homeports renovation/upgrade/new build. most of them is finished.
all timeline indication points to Ex-Varyag homebased in north.
two new ones in south.
