Kim Jong Un visited China earlier this week, his first official trip outside of North Korea as leader.
Officials only confirmed the visit after it was over — but one massive hint gave away Kim's presence, namely the presence of his personal armoured train pulling in Beijing.
Not much is known about the Kim family train, but previous accounts and footage show it to be filled with imported French wine, flat screen TVs, and plush leather seats.
A host of photos from North Korean state media provided a rare look inside the unusual vehicle — take a look inside:
The 21-carriage train pulled into Beijing on Monday night. North Korea watchers immediately recognised the green train with yellow horizontal lines, which both Kim and his father, Kim Jong Il, have used before.
The train's arrival in Beijing on Monday disrupted the entire region's railway schedule. When Kim Jong Il travelled on the train, power to other lines would be shut down so nobody could get in his way.

The train has an average speed of just 37mph — likely because every carriage is bulletproof, making it much heavier than a regular train.
