They aren't landing in a few hours are they? Because they undocked.
English CCTV News simply said it undocked, no video sadly.
Video of hatch closure at 22:37 UTC yesterday: http://news.cntv.cn/china/20120628/104467.shtml
CCTV English just ran a short report with video now, couple screenshots from it.

Specifically, they retreated to the 5 kilometers point, then did a manual approach to within 140 meters of TG-1. Hopefully the Chinese planned a photography session with an astronaut peeking out of the orbital module's front window!
