This post on the Chinese 9ifly forum says (Google translation): "The landing site was mentioned in the article "Running the Fire: Flying to "Utopia"" published by the China Aerospace Journal. The preferred landing site for the "Tianwen-1" Mars exploration mission is located at the southern end of the Martian Utopia Plain, which belongs to the lowland unit of the late Hesperia period (110.318 degrees east longitude, 24.748 degrees north latitude). The alternative location is located in the southeastern part of the Utopia Plain, in the Erythian Volcanic magma flow zone, close to the entrance of the Erythian Volcanic magma into the Utopian Plain." I have not been able to find the article but if anyone has a source i would like to know about it. This is within the western of the two boxes Nogal mentioned.
