Really from Taiyuan? CZ-2D has never been launched from there. Or does that possibly hint to a CZ-4 version as launch vehicle?

Probably CZ-2C.

I assume is a CZ-2C, but Chinaspaceflifht.com is saying is a CZ-2D.

Yes, based on launch site and the nature of the payload, a CZ-2C seems to be most likely.

I have reverted my list back to CZ-2D and Jiuquan as a launch site.
The IARU site shows the BY70-1 cubesat to be launched on 26 December 2016 from Jiuquan - with the date indicating a launch with GaoJing 1. With Jiuquan as a launch site, there is no more reason to assume a CZ-2C instead to the earlier announced CZ-2D.

Interesting information and I agree with you! The original announcement for the GJ satellites was a CZ-2D from Jiuquan. I'll also change that on the thread title and on the Chinese Launch Schedule.

Looks like it will happen in TaiYuan, Shanxi Province

Well, it looks it now obvious that in fact this launch will be from Taiyuan as the two satellites were today delivered there.

I doubt it's CZ-2D though - there's no orbit that can fly from Taiyuan that can't be flown from Jiuquan, while the opposite is not true.
If it really is (no obvious hints from SAST that they are bringing the 2D to Taiyuan), there must be some compelling reason that we don't know to do so.

Okay, back to Taiyuan and (likely) CZ-2C...

It's a Chinese conspiracy to confuse us all to death.
