(ATTN: ADDS N. Korean leader's arrival at Harbin in lead, para 2-4, TRIMS throughout)
BEIJINSHENYANG, China, Aug. 29 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il stopped over in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, on his way home from a surprise trip to China believed to be linked to Pyongyang's father-to-son power transition process, sources said Sunday.
Kim arrived in the city at midnight and stayed near Songhua River before meeting with provincial officials and making trips to key industrial facilities there, sources in the city said.
The North Korean leader is expected to leave Harbin for Pyongyang around 10:00 p.m. on Sunday or 6:00 a.m. on Monday, as the Harbin train station is planned to be under access restrictions during those times.
Kim's visit to Harbin came as the communist country's leader was believed to be headed to a third destination in China instead of returning home.

Looking for a 'hidy-hole.'
Like Stalin and Mao the trick is to leave your lair as little as possible, never fly (planes crash way too easy), and have a really big convoy of armored trains. If you are traveling in country have two or three decoy convoys complete with body doubles. Heck the first time Stalin flew was to meet FDR and Churchill and he only agreed to that because he had made them come to his backyard.
