Where were they taken? I'll work on the assumption these are PLAN ships. ;)

They can't be destroyers as they're too small. The big ship would surely be a destroyer - Haizhou class? But then that makes identifying those ships rather confusing, as they couldn't be the length of any PLAN frigates. And the PLAN's littoral vessels aren't anywhere near that size.

I'm a bit confused by the size issue. Can anyone else help?

I'm guessing....
The big one is a Luda Class
Those others are LST
LAst one is a patorl boat, probably Huangfeng or Houxin.

Yea, some of the ships are probablly LST, since their deck is really clean.

But yes, coodinates would help a lot.

How can they be LSTs? China's are at least 100m long, which would make them too big for the first ship (when compared to the big destroyer).

LSMs like the Yudao or Yudeng class might be the right size, but China doesn't have four of those, does it?

Or could the first one be an LSM and the four in a group LSTs?

If not then those are probably Type 79 Yulian. Those are the only Chinese LSMs to have the flat bows.
That destroyer looks sort of like Ludas, since there are two large white objects onboard. (ASM launchers?)

In the top pic, I think the smaller ship on the left is a Luda. I'm almost certain that it is. ASM launchers, gun turret and smokestack all mach up, as does the length.

Sorry for not giving coords. Mystery amphibious ships can be seen Xiuying harbor ( 20 01 30 N 110 16 32 E ) and at Zhangjiang (next to some frigates/destroyers) at 21 12 54 N 110 26 11 E )

The two warships in the top right picture are a Jianghu class frigate (about 100m long, the shorter one) and a Luda class destroyer, about 130m long.

The patrol boats are also near Xiuxing, slightly further east.
