Shenzhou 6 recovery

Shenzhou 6 remains the only piloted Chinese mission to have landed during darkness, although unmanned Shenzhou spacecraft routinely did this.
Has anyone seen a reason for the Chinese doing this? Delaying the launch time by about two hours would have ensured a dawn recovery, like Shenzhou 5. Maybe the Chinese simply wanted to demonstrate that they could recover a crew in darkness, of course.
