Reply to comment by Lump-of-baryons in China set to launch Shenzhou-15 spacecraft to its space station on Tuesday by Soupjoe5

It’s their second space station, though the first was much less impressive and I think only saw one mission visit it

It's their third space station actually.

The first station had three Shenzhou dockings, one uncrewed, two crewed (the first for 3 days, the second for 12). The second station also had dockings with the automated Tianzhou cargo module and was occupied for 26 days. Both of those stations were very small, with not much more pressurized volume than the Shenzhou capsules themselves.
