Automaker GAC is working on manned moon rover. With China's EV technologies, I have no doubt China can make one of the best moon rovers in the world.

China's 1st moon astronauts could land in Rimae Bode, a 'geological museum' on the lunar near side​

"It offers a diverse landscape of volcanic plains and ancient highlands, allowing astronauts to sample everything from volcanic ash erupted from the deep lunar interior to debris from massive ancient impacts within a single traversable area."

A follow-up on this from the Deep Space Exploration Lab's Weibo account. Note that the screenshots of the post (and the English translation) have some overlaps. Also, the notations on the topographic rendering of the Rimae Bode region (extracted by Xinhua News) likely refer to the different types of landforms rather than to potential landing sites.
