Going to the moon - 1
Planning started 2004
Chang'e 1, 2007 Unmanned lunar orbiter
operated until 2009
intentionally impacted into Moon
produced most accurate and highest resolution 3-D map
of the moon surface
Chang'e 2, 2010
Conduct research from 100-km-high lunar orbit. Launched on Long March 3C
Went to EarthSun L2 Lagrange point, to test tracking / control network April 2012
Then began extended mission to the asteroid 4179 Toutatis. Successfully flybyDecember 2012

A Manned landing ?
In June 2006, Long Lehao, deputy chief architect of the lunar probe project, set2024 as the date of China's first moonwalk
Putting a man on the moon involves a very complicated systematic program with
many technical challenges to solve, including those related to conducting spacewalks, docking, staying on the moon and returning. China won't carry out amanned moon landing until it masters all of these crucial technologies
- Ouyang Ziyuan, chief scientist for the lunar orbiter project
I've read reports by foreign media saying that China would carry a manned moonlanding in 2020, but I don't think there has been such a plan
- Sun Laiyan, chief of the China National Space Administration
