Donald Trump appeared to be pleased to join the limited number of world leaders who have been invited into a secretive imperial garden in China.
Xi Jinping granted the US president a tour of the walled-off Zhongnanhai compound as Trump concluded his state visit on Friday, 15 May.
When asked whether he brings other foreign leaders to the garden, Xi told Trump: "Very few. We usually don’t hold diplomatic events here. Even after we started having some, it’s still extremely rare.
"For example, Putin."
Trump responded: "Good, I like it."
