This information was available much early than March 10, in fact February 21: https://forum.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/index.php?topic=12551.500
That's interesting. Copy & Paste of Chinese Medai - or the forum guy had indeed a good Crystal ball
Travel agency information that is selling trips to watch the launch.
Can you provide a link?

I'm not sure, but for some time China no longer uses the name Tiangong for its station, but simply refers to it as "Chinese Space Station" (CSS). Is it really so?

On the official mission emblem is written "China Space Station". Looks like they stay with this name and don't use Tiangong 3 anymore:

The name Tiangong-3 was never supposed to be used on the modular station. Tiangong-3 was going to be a Salyut-6/7 type station.
In November 2013 China announced that the modular station was going to be named 'Tiangong'.

Tiangong-3 module is reportedly still in a climate controlled mothballed state and could be finished and flown during the second CSS expansion phase (Tianhe Core Module 2) or be converted to a free flyer which visits CSS for occasional servicing at a later date.

Good info on the research racks on Tianhe:
https://twitter.com/Kaynouky/status/1380972404294492161http://www.spaceflightfans.cn/91730.htmlThe CSS is far from just a prestige project, it also has a great scientific side. Here are the medicine, biology, biotechnology and fluid physics racks.
Here's another one for biphasic systems (heat transfer, phase change physics), the next one is going to be used for combustion investigations, the third for high-temperature material science, and the fourth for experimentation in containerless materials, levitating them away from the walls to reduce boundary effects.
Then for ultra-low temperature quantum physics, atomic clocks another one, also for small experiments and the fourth one as a glovebox and cold-temperature stowage.
Very stable platform for advanced microgravity research, a variable-gravity centrifuge, a rack for maintenance and repair work. And finally a structural rack for small experiments.

From Xinhua,
China prepares to launch space station core module.
The combination of the core module of China's space station, Tianhe, and the Long March-5B Y2 rocket has been transported to the launching area of the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province on Friday.
