And at a different beach. On Donghai Island, not at Nansan anymore. As per Copernicus browser/Sentinel.One more... allegedly taken on a different day.

Latest flyby photos of Jiangnan and Hudong-Zhonghua.
Looks like the 2nd unit of 2nd batch 055 DDG at Jiangnan should be launched within the next few weeks. Besides, the launch of the new 052DG DDG that is peeking out of the assembly hall should be imminent.
Meanwhile, the smaller drydock which is directly connected to the fitting out basin at Hudong-Zhonghua looks to be nearing completion (if not already completed) as well. Judging from Google Earth satellite imagery, 2x FFG/medium DDG-sized ships or 1x LPD/LHD-sized ship can be built inside that drydock at any one time.

Just a quibble: The photographer should've taken a full-view photo of that larger drydock at Hudong-Zhonghua as well.
From what I could make out on Copernicus' latest satellite imagery of that location, there seems to be one 054-sized ship currently being assembled inside that drydock, alongside a shorter vessel of roughly similar beam and a much larger civilian/commercial vessel (maybe a LNG carrier). No idea whether that ship is a 054AG FFG or a 054-mod cutter, though.
