They are hauling it to this airbase.
Yanliang Airbase - China Military ForcesThe Yan Liang Flight Testing Facility in the outskirts of Xian is usually off limits to international delegations. The civil/military joint use airport is located next to AVIC I (China Aviation Industry Corporation I), China's largest military aviation research and development institute, and is the flight testing and research center for various aircraft from fighter jets to GA applications.
The Yan Liang test base Aerial High-tech Industry Base is the only national aerial high-tech industry base in the whole country. There are aircraft design, manufacture and test and it is the largest aircraft city in Asia, known as "China's Seattle." During the 1980s, the PLAAF did not believe that it was receiving timely and accurate testing data from the aviation ministry during the ministry's development and testing of new aircraft at the Xian Yanliang flight test center. The Training Department is responsible for the Test Flight Regiment (shifei tuan) at Xian Yanliang airfield and its subordinate Test Flight Groups (shifei dadui) which are assigned to each aircraft factory.
