Not aware of the model of those howitzers . But they also have 122mm SP guns there
If they have 122mm SP guns in those areas than it will most probably be the Type 83 122 mm howitzer towed howitzer used by Chinese Army, we need to know more about what Howitzers They have stationed where and what types.

In the army they look out mostly for the calibre of the weapons system deployed not the model of the system . So deployment will be classified in medium( 155mm , 152mm , 130mm ) , heavy ( MBRLs , cruise/ballistic missiles ) and light ( 81mm , 120mm , 51mm , 60mm , 105mm) .

Why we don't use 152 mm guns ?

152 and 155 have the same role . The only difference is that 152mm is russian and 155mm is NATO . We went for NATO standards for medium arty which i believe is the correct decision . Giving preference to 155 over 152 increased our choices of buying advanced Gun systems from a variety of vendors . Had we gone for 152 then we would have had to settle for cheap 3rd grade russian systems
