Err, 平安 means peacefulness, not safety in the sense of airplane safety, and 文明 is more like civility than "order"

Yes definitely more of an Antonov landing gear, although even they have nose wheels

The 747 nose gear does finish retracting a bit before the main gear, I think, but in that case we should be able to see gear doors!

Upper deck hump the size of a 742 or 748F, upper deck windows the length of a 748, winglets of a 744…

Still, I would have treasured this toy as a kid!

Well the OP certainly got us talking.
Question is ... where was this picture taken. Maybe this thread should be in the “Where in the World am I” 😊

"天府空港" is Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, which is currently being built. I presume it's an ad for the (future) airport.

I mean it is all kind of interesting hey? My suspicion is it’s in Hong Kong maybe? Although I don’t know enough about Chinese script to comment about whether that could be accurate linguistically

It's somewhere in Mainland China because the ad reflects another ad for a mainland chinese 'custom' furniture company called DEB or 德貝.
