A question of perspective. You have to look at the rails of the gantry crane. Gantry cranes always cover the construction area as well, not just the actual dry dock.

Yeah he seems to be looking at the top of the gantry cranes and seeing it "overlying" the buildings and thus the buildings look "in the way".

But instead he should be looking at the base of the gantry cranes that move along the rails on the ground, and it is obvious that their path is unimpeded and goes along the length of the 355m shipyard and to the staging area adjacent to it as well.

I found this image dated December 2020. There was a type 052D or DL at this location, probably for out-fitting after launch on the other side of Dalian Bay. So there is some kind of connection between this shipyard and the one that built many type 052D/055 on the other side of the Dalian bay.

Isn't this one belong to the same Dalian Shipyard (but at a different location, opposite the bay area)?

Possible. But I cannot confirm.

Again I went back to many older GE satellite images. I found this site had fabricated some large unknown modules which were sent by barge to some where else. So this place is like a fabrication yard and also an out-fitting place for a few type 052D/DL, probably for fitting of bow sonar. Also its dry docks is well suitable for construction of aircraft carrier size ships.

That there is actually a 055, just thought I'd point it out.

After some digging it turns out that that particular yard used to be a repair and maintenance shipyard (built in 2009) operated by the Korean firm Daeyang under JV with DSIC until 2015 when Daeyang became insolvent and the yard was subsequently absorbed by DSIC -

대양상선, 中 대련항 인근 대형 수리조선소 개장
한진해운, 양산항 인근 올해 내 완공 예정

국내 선사의 수리조선사업 진출사례
대양상선이 그간 야심차게 준비해온 중국 소재의 수리조선소가 지난달 드디어 모습을 드러냈다. 중국 대련 신항과 구항사이(요령성 대련시 경제개발구 다고산)에 위치한 대양상선의 수리조선소은 연면적 60만㎡에 10만톤급과 30만톤급 대형드라이도크 2기를 비롯해 총 1,3010미터의 안벽과 각종 기자재 생산공장까지 두루 갖춘 모습이다. 대양상선은 영업초기 자사의 관리선단 약 100척을 포함해 그간 오랜 사업관계를 유지해온 선박보유회사 또, 선박관리회사를 위주로 사업을 전개해 나간다는 계획이다.

Cases of domestic shipping companies entering the repair shipbuilding business
The repair shipyard in China, which Daeyang Merchant Marine has been ambitiously preparing for, finally appeared last month. The repair shipyard of Daeyang Merchant Marine, located between New Port and Old Port in Dalian, China (Dalian Economic Development Zone, Liaoning Province), has a total floor area of 600,000㎡ and produces a total of 1,3010m of quay walls and various equipment including two large dry docks of 100,000 tons and 300,000 tons. It looks like it's all over the factory. Daeyang Merchant Marine plans to develop its business mainly with ship-ownership companies and ship-management companies that have maintained long business relationships, including about 100 management fleets of its management fleet in the early stage of business.

So it appears the Dagushan yard is indeed under the same DSIC umbrella.

This could be of some relevance. A procurement document issued by Dalian shipyard that announces the winning bid for a training course/service for a particular digital/software platform (?). The winner is

(核动力运行研究所) based in Wuhan. Not sure about the nature of the bid, but it could be for training Dalian shipyard's personnel on RINPO's in-house digital design/IT platform.

According to him, Dalian DSIC plans to conduct a major upgrade and reconstruction project on the facilities and systems at the DSIC 3rd yard (i.e. Dagushan), which includes the dry docks, slipways, module staging yards, pre-outfitting plants(?) and related dredging works.

It should also noted that the digitalization and nuclear safety training (as quoted by @by78 in the previous post) will also be conducted at Dagushan.
