An armored train believed to be carrying North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to his second summit with the president was spotted entering China on Saturday evening.
The green and yellow train bore a strong resemblance to one previously used by his father, Kim Jong Il, as it crossed a bridge into the Chinese border city of Dandong just hours ago.
Earlier in the day, Russian news agency TASS reported that Kim had departed from Pyongyang on his personal train, with the final destination set as Hanoi, Vietnam.
His overseas travel plans are routinely kept secret by the communist state, and his alleged 2,800 mile train journey could take him more than two days to complete.

Bearing the same liveries as a train used by King Jong Un's father, Kim Jong Il (shown in 2011), it's expected to take the North Korean leader more than two days to completed the 2,800 mile journey
Kim Jong Un's overseas travel plans are always kept top secret by North Korean officials, but a Russia news agency reported Kim was aboard the train when it departed from Pyongyang this morning
Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry announced on Saturday that Kim would pay an official visit to the country 'in the coming days', following an invitation from President Nguyen Phu Trong.
Local Vietnamese and South Korean media reported that a large cohort of North Korean officials went to survey a train station near to where Vietnam borders China, prompting further speculation he was arriving by train.
It has also been alleged that the Kim could still fly to Vietnam, and the heavily-armored train may actually be heading to the Southeast Asian nation empty, in anticipation of his return journey.
Kim Jong Un is slated to meet with President Trump for the second time in Hanoi on Wednesday, and again on Thursday.
Their last meeting in June ended without any substantive agreement, triggering a several month-long impasse between Washington and Pyongyang on how to approach North Korea's nuclear disarmament, and the lifting of US sanctions on the country.
President Trump and Kim will meet on Wednesday and Thursday in Hanoi, Vietnam as they sit down for the second time to discuss nuclear disarmament and the possibility of the US lifting sanctions on North Korea
Their last meeting in June ended in a stalemate which carried over into negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang for months afterwards
Experts say Kim will seek to minimize any further concessions on his nuclear program, while trying to negotiate the lifting of hefty sanctions
In his upcoming meeting with Trump, experts say Kim will push the US to commit to improved bilateral relations and partial sanctions relief, while attempting to minimize concessions on his nuclear program.
While Kim is using his nuclear facilities and weaponry as leverage for economic and security benefits, doubts continue to persist as to whether he is ready to fully submit the entire program as it may actually be his greatest chance of survival.
In 2018, North Korea suspended its nuclear and long-range missile tests, as well as dismantling a nuclear testing facility - but none of the motions were a seen as profound cutbacks on its nuclear progress.
This led to Washington requesting more concrete steps towards nuclearization from Pyongyang, before any sanction relief could commence.

In Hanoi, officials have alluded to the Government Guest House in the city center as being venue for Trump and Kim's second historical meeting.
A traffic ban has been announced in Vietnam across the route Kim's train is projected to traverse until Tuesday afternoon.
The People’s Committee in Lang Son province, where the Dongdang railway station is located, issued a statement Friday instructing the road operator to clean the highway stretch and suspend road works between February 24 and 28 for 'a political task.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
