The Shenzhou 21 Descent Capsule will land in the desert near Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China, bringing the crew of Shenzhou 20 - Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie - back to Earth after spending 6 months in orbit as part of the 9th mission to the Chinese Space Station, and after Shenzhou 20 was possibly struck by orbital debris, rendering it unsuitable for crew re-entry.
