Satellite view of Yulin Naval Base, photographed yesterday (22 November). CV-17 Shandong and CV-18 Fujian are moored at the larger pier, with the expansion of the smaller piers underway at the top of the photo. Posted by @foolsball on Twitter.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I wonder how accurate it is for Fujian to come to port immediately after the training? Shouldn't they undergo training at sea that lasts a few months?

Yes, Fujian is at port right now. Refer my post just above.

Says who?

They can train for as long as their fuel, forage and supplies are available, or as short as they see fit. There are no rules on the duration of which they must conduct trainings at sea.

I don't think previous sail is for training, it is just for a few quick TikTok clips. Propaganda is one of CV's main uses anyway
