The special train carrying Kim Jong-un and his entourage left the Chinese capital this afternoon and is on its way back to Pyeongyang.
It takes about 14 hours from Beijing to Pyeongyang by train, so it's expected the North Korean leader will get home early tomorrow morning.
Earlier today Kim Jong-un visited an economic district in Beijing and had lunch with the Chinese President.
The North Korean leader went to Beijing's Economic and Technological Development Area -- a zone run by the Chinese government that hosts industrial facilities for the country's pharmaceuticals, information technology, machinery and electronics products.
Specifically, Kim Jong-un looked around a factory owned by China's representative pharmaceutical company Tongrentang for 20 to 30 minutes.
Kim and Xi have already had their summit meeting yesterday for about an hour.
They could have discussed ways to coordinate strategies ahead of Kim's possible second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Another important topic would have been strengthening their bilateral ties since this year Pyeongyang and Beijing celebrate 70 years of diplomatic relations.
