Donald Trump is in China as part of his two-week presidential tour of Asia.

China treated Trump to a private tour of the Forbidden Palace and an opera performance.

Xi Jinping, who cemented himself as the most powerful Chinese leader in decades, is hosting him.

The extravagance of the trip is likely to impress Trump, experts say.



China is pulling out all the stops for Donald Trump.

The US president arrived in Beijing on Wednesday, and has already been whisked off for a private tour of the city's imperial palace and for a traditional Peking Opera performance.

His visit has been dubbed a "state visit-plus" by Cui Tiankai, China's ambassador to the US, according to the state-run newspaper China Daily. The Trumps were also invited to dine inside the Forbidden Palace — marking the first time a foreign leader receives such an honour since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

Over the course of his three-day visit, Trump is expected to take part in talks, a military honour guard, a formal banquet, and other "special arrangements," Cui said.

Take a look at the extravagant state visit below.
