Xi arrives in Bali for G20 summit

The honor guards flanked the red carpet to salute Xi. Local youths dressed in national costumes played Gamelan, a traditional Indonesian musical instrument, while young ladies performed Bali's traditional "Pendet dance." Waving the national flags of China and Indonesia, local students cheered "Welcome, welcome" in Chinese.

Xi's entourage also arrived on the same plane. Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia Lu Kang greeted the delegation at the airport.

On both sides of the road from the airport to the hotel where Xi and his wife stay, many local residents gathered and waved the national flags of the two countries to express their warmest welcome to the Chinese president.
