A closer look at the last pic. makes me think it might be R/W 35 Qingdao/Tsingtao/ZSQD....

Had a "senior moment". Dalian R/W28 has always been aligned, I was thinking of R/W10 which has an ILS offset by 3 degrees to account for a small hill to the north of the runway centre line, it also has a higher than usual minimum, and a displaced landing threshold.

At risk of going completely off topic.... Dalian was very noticeably not WGS84 compliant. This meant that LNAV was notoriously inaccurate for both arrivals and departures. It has become better over the years but still beware.
