"596" - The Chinese Atomic Bomb
Test: "596"
Time: 07:00 16 October 1964 (GMT)
Location: Lop Nur Test Ground,
42.35 N, 88.30 E
Test Height and Type: Tower, 102 m
Yield: 22 Kt
This pure-fission U-235 implosion fission device named "596" was China's first nuclear test. The device weighed 1550 kg. No plutonium was available at this time.

The Chinese Hydrogen Bomb
Test: Test No. 6
Time: 00:19:07.9 17 June 1967 (GMT)
Location: Lop Nur Test Ground
Test Height and Type: Air drop, 2960 m
Yield: 3.3 Mt
This was China's sixth nuclear test, and its first full scale radiation implosion (Teller-Ulam) weapon test. It was conducted only 32 months after the first atomic test, the shortest elapsed time for any nuclear weapons state. The device contained U-235, lithium-6 deuteride, and U-238. It was detonated at 2960 m over the Lop Nur Test Ground after being dropped from an H-6

Spoiler for Photos of nuclear tests performed by China in the past have been circulating online, showing experiments being carried out on various vehicles, machinery and even animals.
According to an article on china-underground.com, these rare images were taken during the sixties when the country was testing the effects of a new arsenal.
China had launched Project 596 -- its first nuclear weapons test -- in 1964, and became the fifth nuclear power.
However, the country has not fired a nuclear weapon since 1996.:
