The Jilin series of earth observation satellites.
is it wrapped with gold sheet?
Is another launch of CZ-5 still due for this month?
Yes it is wrapped in gold foil. At the current price of gold, that’s a lot of money. There is a current wait period of a month when purchasing gold bullion here in Sydney.

Is there any other alternative to gold? and why gold?
Why would you want to buy physical gold bullion? ... buy gold certificate is a better option
There is a shortage of physical gold, at least from some of the reputable gold traders in Sydney that I know off. There is a one month wait before they are delivered. As for gold certificates it defeats the purpose of holding gold now as when the proverbial shit hits the fan you want the physical thing in your hand. Started buying gold when Trump won the election and I must say I am happy and looking forward to his second term
China's new crewed spacecraft is scheduled to be launch in April, but without a crew. With a takeoff weight of 21.6 tonnes, it will ride on top of a CZ-5B.
In May, the last satellite for the Beidou satellite navigation system will be launched. But that one will most likely be a CZ-3B similar to the one launched in March.
