Kim Jong-un is on his way to Vietnam:

 

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s special train raced through central China on Monday, traveling for the third day en route to Vietnam for a summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump. 
The train passed through the central Chinese city of Hengyang of Hunan Province around 3:30 p.m. after briefly stopping at the city of Changsha earlier in the afternoon and heading south. 
The route, which does not pass through the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, is regarded as the shortest way of moving from Pyongyang to Vietnam.

Kim Jong-un Reportedly Will Take His Train Through China to Summit in Vietnam

| February 21, 2019

It looks like Kim Jong-un is using the Vietnam summit as a mini-vacation by taking a train trip through China:

North Korea leader Kim Jong-un is expected to travel to Vietnam by train for his second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, slated for next week, a news report said Wednesday.
Kim is expected to leave Pyongyang later this week for his planned arrival in the Southeast Asian nation on Monday, as it could take him at least two and a half days to travel through China, Reuters reported, citing sources with direct knowledge of security and logistics planning.
Trump and Kim are set to hold their second summit from Feb. 27-28. 
“Kim’s train will stop at the Vietnamese border station of Dong Dang, where he will disembark and drive 170 kilometers to Hanoi by car,” the report said.
