YF-100K is an uprated version of YF-100 an oxidizer rich staged combustion kerolox engine, which is used on many current Chinese kerolox rocket.
YF-100k push the thrust to 130 tons (if I recall), it main use will be to power Long March 10, which will be the rocket used for Chinese manned moon landing.
Another good footage from another test site with closer view

Not sure if this count but the one I linked in the other comment was also built on mountain side.

Obviously in a smaller scale since Tongchuan (the one I posted) is the largest in China.

That's an interesting alternative to a flame trench. Are there any other test stands that exhaust down the side of a mountain?

That totally counts! Thanks!
Whys it look so ghetto and cheap? And the testing method seems goofy.
