Here is a detailed animation of the Chang'e 5 sample return mission to the moon. It shows the various steps and complex choreography of the mission including launch, orbit insertion, landing, sample collection, ascent, transfer of samples, return to earth and landing of sample capsule.

The Chang'e 6 spacecraft hardware and mission procedures are very similar, except for the landing location on the far side of the moon and the use of the Queqiao-2 relay satellite.
