Mission to Mars: See Zhurong rover’s video of the Red PlanetMission to Mars!

In May, China's Zhurong rover landed safely on Mars. This made China only the second nation after the US to land and operate a rover on Mars.  It also meant that China was the first nation to have a successful Mars mission with an orbiter and a rover on its first try.

And so, recently, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) released a video of Zhurong's landing on Mars as well as more images of the Tianwen-1 orbiter and Mars itself.

CNSA said that as of 27 June, the Tianwen-1 orbiter has been in orbit for 338 days. And Zhurong has been working on the surface of Mars for 42 Martian days. It has travelled 236 metres till now. Both are in good working condition.
Seems like this mission to Mars is going well. You can also watch the video below.
