Grammar Explanation:

When we refer to a location, we use 在 / zài + place. For example:

我在北京 / wǒ zài Běijīng (I'm in Beijing)
她在家 / tā zài jiā (she is at home)

When we ask about the location, we use:

在哪儿 / zài nǎr (where)

呢 / ne is a modal particle which is used at the end of a question. It has no specific meaning; it just makes the tone more friendly.
