jumpjack, read the previous posts: CE-3 landed a few hundred kilometers to the east of that area. the landing site is not even included in the picture you posted
Distance between Lunokhod 1 and Chang'e-3 is around 250 miles. No way to travel ;-) next time.

Chang E does not exceed 15 degrees tilt rabbit can safely release[Chang E does not exceed 15 degrees inclination, the rabbit will be able to safely release] 14 evening, China's Chang-e III detector Enron sangrakwol. Sunze Zhou told reporters the chief architect of the detector system, as long as the lander tilt angle less than 15 degrees, the next inspection device, the "Rabbit" was the rover will be able to be released. Currently, researchers are calculated sangrakwol ground attitude. (Yu Xiaojie Li Zhihui)
