Questions about planes and technology on Haixing

Do planes exist? I don't remember seeing any in the background of any of the episodes, and while in the novel, there's a scene where they're traveling to Kunlun's mountain via plane, there's no such scene in the show (the one time they do go to the mountain, they drive there). 

Also, there doesn't seem to be cars or any kind of vehicle in Dixing, right? Does everyone just get around by walking? If they have to go somewhere far, do they find someone with teleportation powers and pay them to take them somewhere? (On a side note, if Zhu Jiu's teleportation can only be done when there's sunlight present, how did his powers ever get activated in Dixing?)

Technology development seems much slower on Haixing in general than in our world, especially given the fact that an alien spaceship landed on their planet 10,000 years ago and introduced aliens into their civilization. With that, I would have expected them to be much further along by now, like exploring space already.

The only discussions about the space ship seem very much pasted on later? CGI intro has it, and... does it get mentioned again? If it does I think you'd find it's in a long shot where they could easily insert some new dialogue.

Dixing and Haixing are both dubbed in after the fact, yes. You can definitely tell when you listen for it - and it was different in the show preview.

I believe that Da Qing says it in episode 34, but his explanation is a little different than the CGI intro. He says that two groups of people arrived on the space ship - Dixingren and Yashouren and they all lived in harmony with the native Haixing population until the war. I can't remember if his line was dubbed in after the fact or not.
