What kind of coast guards that'd use dedicated attack helicopter? Besides, most of the Chinese coast guard cutters don't have helipad.

Land base use, they don't necessary have to land on ships.

Haha this was the best CG I've seen in a loooooong time.
She is a very good looking helicopter for sure...and the PRC should be proud to have her as their own!.The best looking attack helo I've seen: The Snow White WZ-10
So it turns out that these are simply unpainted Z-10s. What a shame!
But for me, I think these are the best looking attack helicopters:
Ka-52 Alligator - Russia
RAH-66 Commanche - United States
AH-64D "Longbow" Apache - United States
Too bad the Commanche was cancelled.
It's interesting, because the original AH-1 Cobra kind of set the style for attack helicopters ever since. Most of the other pure attack helicopters (and I do not include the "Hind" in there because it also has a troop transport role) to this day take their basic physical layout from that 1st dedicated attack helicopter.
The Alligator (Ka-52) starts a departure from that with its side by side seating and of course counter-rotating rotors that do away with the need for a tail rotor.

She was a nice bird albeit a bit light on fire power for my taste. I hope to see some of this in the next generation of american Rotary wing aircraft.
Well, she was officially dubbed as a RAH, and originally she was going to replace the Kiowas so she was never meant to be the heavy attack bird that the Apache is.
Yes...I knew. But it is a good representation of the Apache Longbow. Here, for all purists, I offer the following:plawolf said:
...and to bring us back on topic...here's two of my favorite pictures of the WZ-10, which itself is a very nice and very capable bird:
