YF-90 take its second semi-system test.
In a short video, the chief designer(?) or someone like a top manager said that "it laid down foundation for 120t HO engine R&D."

Construction on a new high-thrust engine test bench in Tongchuan (铜川) is making good progress. Concrete pouring for the phase I of the project is complete. The new test bench will be used to test the 500-ton YF-130 engine for the Long March 9, China's upcoming super heavy carrier rocket.
The still unfinished interior of one of the buildings.
That is mostly South Western Turkey. I can see Antalya thereA nice image of Earth taken by Liu Yang (刘洋), a Shenzhou-14 taikonaut. I believe it's over the Aegean Sea.
