The yacht Edinburgh Inspiring Capital arrived Monday in Qingdao as part of the 2009-2010 Clipper Around the World event.

Crew members wore traditional Scottish costumes and played Scottish bagpipes while coming to the stage. Along with the Chinese Lion Dance and the drumming, the bagpipes made a great combination of Scottish and Chinese cultures.
