This shot from earlier shows the Russian president's car passing Tiananmen Square during sunrise. Putin was greeted by Xi in a grand welcome ceremony at the square outside the east gate of the Great Hall of the People. A military band played Russia's national anthem, followed by the Chinese anthem.
The Russian president touched down in Beijing about 04:00 local time. Xi then led Putin on a walk around the square, past various military contingents, their route lined with a red carpet. A contingent of civilians waved pompoms and cheered as they walked past.
The welcome ceremony has now ended, and the duo have now entered a meeting in the Great Hall.
