Beida.
There is no Beijing University. For historical reasons, two names remain Peking. Peking University and Peking Duck.
I'm not sure if this side view of the 2055 has been posted before.

Another image showing the new J-20A prototype no. 2055 ... unfortunately very blurry!

Now that so many YY-20 have been produced we see an exponential increase in refueling training within PLAAF. That said, the J-20 is designed to operate within First Island Chain with no escort/refueler support. Having access to refueler is still a big plus since it can allow for longer aerial loitering time.
Just an interesting little update:
@, along with @052D成都舰, claimed that they've seen three J-20A prototypes simultaneously, specifically 2053, 2055, and 2056. Unclear if all of them are equipped with WS-15, or even if it's true or not.

He just said thick neck. What if it also included J-20 Twinseater?
I feel like they'd specify it. They're both in Sichuan/Chengdu and @052D成都舰 did say it's 2053, 2055, and 2056.
