North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is heading home after wrapping up his 5-day visit to Vietnam that included his second meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Kim traveled by car to the Dong Dang station in northern Vietnam near the Chinese border on Saturday.
A band played music as Kim shook hands with Vietnamese government officials. He smiled and waved farewell to people before he boarded a special train.
The train departed from the station shortly before 1 PM local time and is expected to travel through China.
Kim was the first North Korean leader in 55 years to visit Vietnam.
He met US President Donald Trump on Wednesday and Thursday in Hanoi, but the two leaders failed to reach an agreement on denuclearization.
Pyongyang wanted sanctions lifted in return for dismantling the Nyongbyon nuclear complex.
The US insisted that the North dismantle not just Nyongbyon, but other nuclear facilities, and said sanctions will not be lifted until denuclearization is complete.
Both the US and North Korea say they intend to continue talks.

Envoys to the UN from France and Germany say there is no need to revise sanctions on North Korea. The two countries currently jointly chair the UN Security Council.
German Ambassador Cristoph Heusgen and French Ambassador Francois Delattre spoke at a news conference on Friday.
Heusgen was asked about the Council's response to the second US-North Korea summit, which failed to produce an agreement. He said he sees no need to change the present sanctions.
He pointed out the tough measures had helped bring North Korea to negotiations in Hanoi.
Delattre also indicated the sanctions would stay in place.
The Council last year gave up on holding a conference on human rights in the North, due to a lack of support.
At least nine Security Council members must agree for such a meeting to take place.
Asked about the possibility of a meeting in future, Delattre appeared skeptical. He cited reluctance from some member countries including China and Russia.

The Canadian Department of Justice said it would allow an extradition hearing to proceed against a senior Huawei executive who has been detained in Canada.
Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested in December last year at the request of US authorities on suspicion of fraud.
She was later released on bail on the condition that she remain in Vancouver, where she owns a home. China has demanded that Canada release her.
In January, US authorities formally requested her extradition following her indictment on fraud charges.
Canadian officials issued a statement on Friday saying her case will begin after the completion of a diligent review of the evidence.
Meng will appear in a Vancouver court on March 6 when the date of the hearing will be set.
Canada's justice minister will decide whether to extradite her after the hearings.
The proceedings are expected to focused on whether her human rights will be respected if her extradition to the United States is allowed.

China's foreign ministry has criticized Canada's Department of Justice for allowing a hearing on the extradition of an executive of Chinese technology giant Huawei Technologies.
Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and the daughter of its founder, was detained in Vancouver in December at the request of US authorities.
The US Justice Department has since charged Meng and Huawei with conspiring to violate Washington's sanctions on Iran.
The Canadian Department of Justice issued an authority to proceed, formally commencing an extradition process.
China's foreign ministry spokesperson Lu Kang issued a statement criticizing the move, saying it is a severe political incident that violates Chinese citizens' rights and legitimate interests.
He said China urges the United States to immediately withdraw the arrest warrant and extradition request for Meng, and urges Canada to immediately release her and ensure that she returns to China safely.
Meng will appear in a court in Vancouver on Wednesday. The Minister of Justice will decide whether to hand her over to US authorities after the proceedings.

Pakistan has released an Indian pilot whose fighter jet was shot down over the disputed region of Kashmir.
The two nuclear powers appear to be taking steps to de-escalate a recent spike in tensions.
The Indian wing commander was handed over at the Wagah border crossing. Many people gathered in the area for his release.
His plane was one of two downed by Pakistani forces on Wednesday on its side of the de facto border.
Indian Air Force Vice Marshal RGK Kapoor said "Wing Commander Abhinandan has just been handed over us. As per standard operating procedure of the Indian Air Force, he will now be taken for a detailed medical check-up".
Tensions have been running high since India conducted an airstrike in the Pakistan-controlled part of Kashmir earlier this week.
Indian officials say they were targeting the training camps of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a radical Islamic militant group.
The organization claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in the India-controlled part of Kashmir last month, killing 40 soldiers.

President Donald Trump has urged China to immediately remove all of its tariffs on US agricultural products, including beef and pork.
Trump made the request on Twitter on Friday, pointing out that he did not increase US tariffs on Chinese products to 25 percent on March 1st. He said this is very important for American farmers.
The US had threatened to raise tariffs on 200 billion dollars' worth of Chinese imports from 10 percent to 25 percent.
But the government postponed the hikes earlier this week.
Trump wants to reach a final agreement with China when he meets with President Xi Jinping at his private resort in Florida later this month.
The US president appears to be trying to increase the pressure on China by making America's demands public before the summit.

The chief of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force is preparing to visit China for the first time in five years.
Japanese Defense Ministry sources say the MSDF Chief of Staff is to attend a naval review next month.
The two countries agreed in October last year to consider mutual visits by the heads of the Self-Defense Forces and China's military.
The sources say China invited SDF officers to a naval review marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of its Navy, and Japan replied that it will send the MSDF chief and a destroyer.
If realized, it will be the first visit to China in five years by an MSDF chief of staff, and the third overall.
The increase in China's maritime activities has raised tension in areas, including the East China Sea.
The MSDF apparently hopes the visit will improve relations and help prevent an unexpected contingency at sea.

Japan's government says more than 3,700 survivors of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami have subsequently died due to health problems caused by the prolonged upheaval in their lives.
The Reconstruction Agency compiles data every 6 months on disaster-related deaths.
Agency officials say they had documented 3,701 deaths by the end of last September, 7-and-a-half years after the disaster and the ensuing nuclear accident in northeastern Japan.
The figure rose by 56 from previous year. The largest number -- 2,250 residents -- was in Fukushima Prefecture, where the damaged nuclear plant is located.
Miyagi followed 928, and the figure for Iwate was 467.
Officials say 3,424 people, or 93 percent, died within 3 years of the disaster, and 277 died afterward.
Many survivors succumbed to exhaustion and stress brought on by the prolonged evacuation.
