They came back in the return capsule of China's new-generation manned spaceship for testing, which was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Centre in southern China's island province of Hainan on Tuesday and touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Friday.
