The Shenzhou 22 arrived at the Tiangong space station. It will be used by three astronauts in 2026. These astronauts went to space on November 1st of that year.
Some astronauts had problems returning to Earth before. Their spacecraft's window was not good. They had to wait for nine days before they could come back.
The astronauts landed on Earth without problems. But other astronauts had no way to return in an emergency. The damaged spacecraft will come back to Earth later for checks.
China's space program is growing very fast now. They are building the Tiangong station piece by piece. China built Tiangong because it could not join the International Space Station.
