It's super hush-hush, even Google Earth seems blurry around it. Anyone know what kind of aircraft are actually based there? I'm a massive aviation nerd, and the secrecy is driving me nuts! I'd love to hear some stories, even if they're just rumors. Maybe someone's seen something interesting fly overhead...?

If you're near Liangxiang on a clear day you'll catch transports on approach, mostly Y-8s and Y-9s. The good spots are along the back roads west of there. Bring a decent zoom lens and don't point it at the fence.

Honestly the "air base" blur on satellite maps is usually just a standard military installation, nothing exotic. I've cycled out past Nanyuan and seen J-7s and J-8s on rotation years back, but that's public knowledge. What you can actually spot from the road is mostly transports.

the real giveaway is noise, not maps, so just listen for that deep turbofan rumble around Shunyi on a clear morning

I've got the online application open but I'm stuck on the part asking for a local address and phone number, which I don't have yet. Anyone know if I can put a temporary address or if I need to wait until I've got a lease?

Wait for the lease, address gets cross-checked.

Landlord's name on the contract matters more.

True, and the name has to match the fangben exactly, character for character, or the window rejects it.

cross-check happens at the lease stamp date too

Stamped date on the contract, not the move-in date.

Agree, but the online form lets you save a draft for 30 days.

Fair point, though the cross-check only bites once you file the annual reconciliation, not at initial registration.

honestly the phone number field trips up most people. you can use your hotel or serviced apartment number if u have one booked, they mainly need a reachable contact. the tax bureau at Jiuxianqiao usually accepts that for the initial registration.

Chaoyang tax office moved to Shunyi in 2024.
