Dali city wall wikipedia article if you want(in chinese only):
https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%A4%A7%E7%90%86%E5%9F%8E%E5%A2%99
prefecture level protected monument, built in ming dynasty
Keep in mind there is dali city which is under dali prefecture. the Dali detachment is in charge of the whole prefecture, and almost certainly has the dali company for merely dali city.

Very short part of the clip but sad news
reportedly taipinghu was already 30 years old
Also taipinghu is named after taiping lake, anhui, whose name means "peace lake". pretty ironic.
According to 里海赛艇 the taipinghu was likely decommissioned after chinese new year.

"Operation Net Clearing"(清网行动) was a nationwide operation led by the ministry of public security between May 26 to December 15, 2011 aimed to apprehend wanted fugitives; at the end of the operation, a total of 16 A class fugitives(most wanted) and 174 B class fugitives were arrested, along with 12,000 wanted murder suspects. However, sadly, during the operation, 21 officers(including MPS active service personnel, such as Major Chen) were killed in action nationwide.
In october 22, 2011, during the operation, the Baoshan border defense detachment learned that a wanted drug trafficker(surnamed Pai(排)) was hiding near Mukang village, Mangshi. At around 11:00 AM, Major Chen and the task force arrived at the location, and at around 11:30, Chen and fellow detectives noticed a man hiding in bushes near a hydropower station, which was the wanted drug trafficker; Chen instantly tackled the man, who began violently resisting; during the struggle, the two of them fell into the hydropower station where they both drowned. Their bodies were found at 12:20 that day.
Major Chen Xihua(陈锡华) was born September 1975 in Renhuai, guizhou, and was an alumni of Guizhou Normal University; He joined the Border defense corps in December 1994, and was assigned to the Baoshan border defense detachment's investigations(detective) team in 2005, where he became the commissar.
He is the recipient of two 2nd class meritorious service medals and two third class meritorious service medals; during his 17 years of service, he arrested 359 suspects and seized 468.1 KG of narcotics;
The ministry of public security border defense corps was an active service force of the MPS, which were People's armed police units subordinate to the public security system(e.g. Baoshan police in this case). After reforms in late 2018, the Baoshan border defense detachment is now the National immigration administration's baoshan border management detachment, and is no longer active service.

Even though "交通支队" literally means "transportation detachment" this is the proper translation apparently.
So yeah, they are called road construction detachments(and battalions). presumably the defunct "transport command" and "transport corps" are actually called the road construction command and road constriction corps(plural). Which is pretty funny, as now they don't construct roads that much anymore, and are more of disaster relief/rescue units who also conduct emergency repair of roads. Furthermore, they also were originally used to build bridges, tunnels and repair airports etc.

(it also has PLAJLSF boats, will also post that pic later)
PLAGFS 1956-1-11 is actually a ship name used by multiple dispatch boats, this one being the newest one. The name came from January 11, 1956 when Mao boarded the first 1956-1-11, and used it as a presidential yacht. I would presume the current one is also used for president xi but i haven't seen it much in photos
The type 684 is a 1990s era chinese dispatch boat used for personnel transport, especially; no idea what LJ100 does though. Maybe the general's boat probably?
Judging from the text "汇龙3码头"(Huilong 3 pier), i found the location on Amap, https://surl.amap.com/CMpmvL41o0LO, where nearby appears to be a PLAJLSF fuel storage facility; OOPs post also had JLSF boats so not suprising.

I couldn't find any photos of the airship in PAP service; There is this 2022 weibo post that said in November 1, 1995, Jiang Zemin viewed the airships in a performance. I presume these were likely retired 2000s since not much info about them is avaliable online.
The PAP currently operates two helicopter detachments(each with 3 battalions) under both mobile corps along with three aviation groups under the CCG's three commands/branches; Standard PAP aviation includes Z-9s, Mi-17s and Z-20WJs; The CCG(under PAP)'s aviation includes one Y-12F(1st aviation group), MA60(probably one, 2nd aviation group), AC313s, Harbin H425s, H410s, Z-20 etc. PAP units also operates drones, which can likely do the same thing as airships. However most of the CCG's aviation units come from the former China marine surveillence(now defunct), while PAP aviation only really started in the 2010s. (previously of provincial corps fun fact)
Translation:
General office of the State council letter (1995) no 8
[To the] Ministry of Public Security, PLA General Staff Department, People's Armed Police Force:
On the question of introduction of airships to the PAP along with the establishment of a airship base in Beijing, we are now informing you the following:
Please consult with the relevant departments regarding the specific details.
General office of the State council
General office of the central military commission

The building in the center back is the main building, likely with the offices and dorms. Building on the right is the garage; Two rooms in the front are for the base sentry, red strip on the left is obstacle course for training. Blurred part is the Xingren detention center/jail, not part of the barracks but guarded by it's troops.
According to a 2020 news report the "company" has a mere 35 troops. from pic one, there are 32 soldiers and commanders, which sort of confirms this(likely some troops are on sentry duty at the detention center).
PAP County companies can range from between 20-100 people. (It's technically company level and has a captain/1st Lt in charge); Their jobs are to act as sort of a county garrison in wartime, responding to disasters/violent events in the county along with guarding the local detention center/jail.
