A photograph taken by the HiRISE Camera of NASA's MRO orbiter has just been published showing the Zhurong rover away from the descent stage, the parachute, the heat shield and the dust removed during the landing.

The rover has a detachable camera at the bottom. The camera is put to the ground for taking this picture.
