The China Space facebook page reports the lander has awaken (Link).
I haven't heard anything about the rover. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Looking back at the lander panoramas, this is a circular version of a panorama to show the distance to some horizon features. The western horizon was only a few hundred metres away, but several distant hills showed above it (see post on the page before this on the forum). The eastern horizon was between 2 and 4 km away with some crater rims visible, and to the north some distant topography showed above a nearby crater rim. The next image tries to identify the more distant features.
