The ship was very close to the shore. The water in the foreground is shallow and having lots of reafs (darker areas) sitting on sandy banks (lighter area). Also from the video on weibo water is very clear. I can't think of any other coastal region in China other than Sanya (or nearby SCS).

The darker area is simply the shadow cast by the clouds.
You could take a look at the official video of the Fujian's first sea trial.

That is one possibility, but not the only, not more likely than the other. I've been going out to seas along various coast lines, seas in various weathers. I saw exactly that kind of coloration in water with zero cloud overhead.

Of course, not the only, but no more than the other?
But I'm glad that at least you can consider other possibilities.

Ayi said that the Fujian did not enter service before September 3rd due to certain reasons.

Yankee mentioned that the Fujian will have a uniquely grand commissioning ceremony.

Perhaps a multi-carrier battle group formation?

The Shandong has been spotted departing port. All three aircraft carriers are now at sea.
