Chinese F-117A?

Can't be another plastic model could it.

I was thinking that if the photo could be PSed. If it is a model then it rather big size model, almost 1:1. In the first photo, there is another aircraft near by, look like a J-6 to me, but it doesn't look like an airfield at all. Could it be a model factory?

You misinterpreted me. What I meant was a possible mockup, like the J-20 "model" that we saw a while back. There are also 1:1 F-16 mock ups in China which are used to decorate parks.

It's definitely a mockup like siegecrossbow said.

I saw this post on sina.com this morning about a satellite photo and a low resolution photo about something looks identical to the F-117A. Does China develop something similar to F-117A? This doesn't sound logical to me because the F-117A is already obsoleted and has been retired by the USAF. Maybe just a model; however, the plane is rather big in size compared to the cars nearby, and it doesn't look to have landing gears to me.

Chinese F-117A

Looks like some kind of mock-up to me. Can't imagine that it is functional at all sitting there in that parking lot.

Remember the leopard 2 A6 tank in china? Turn out to be a scale 1:1 model by a modeling company...

I will not be surprised this is also one of their product.

It might not be that company but they've one in their catalog:

商品名称： 为横店红军长征博览城制作飞机模型，1：1仿真F117模型

Holy cow they made a 1:1 Boeing 737 model!

For the man who wants every thing but cants stand flying...

Oh man, nice mock. Probably to study the stealth shape

China's secret stealth bomber disguised as a roof.

No. The name of the product has "横店" in it. Since "横店" is China's equivalent of Hollywood, it suggests that the company makes props for movies.

Fighter? At that scale it be a transport equal too a C17...

That stealth roof looks scary.. Why would they do such a thing? For fun? Anyways China is indeed developing stealth bombers. If they are developing stealth fighters.. Why not bombers right?
