On Thursday 11 October King Harald V and Queen Sonja officially arrived in Dunhuang in the north-west of China.
Their arrival marks the beginning of their second state visit to China. The first took place in October 1997.
The King and Queen are accompanied by a large delegation of representatives of the Norwegian Government, industry and commerce.
