Reportedly at a beach at Hainan.
Consider this is slated as their next-gen utility helicopter model, if not also as baseline model for other role either currently carried out by the Z-9, or special roles previously not possible due to lack of suitable model (like the Pave Hawk, geared to support SpecOps), they'll certainly need to test it all over the length and breadth of Chinese territories.It appears that they're testing this baby all over the places.
