Here are the lyrics from the video:
Hey have you been to Hangzhou? It's in China!
Yea! It's scenic, epic, amazing and the place to be.
From the high temples pointing to the sky,
to the rivers flowing down to the West Lake.
Be amazed by the culture, and nature's beauty
like the Osmanthus Tree!
From the colours of silk to the taste of tea.
Let's make a memory!
Take a selfie, take a wefie and come with me to the home of Alibaba
Hangzhou, come Hangzhou
The G20 city
Say G20, come to Hangzhou, cause Hangzhou's got it all!
You know that Hangzhou is the place to be
Hangzhou, come Hangzhou
Cause Hangzhou's got it all!
Say G20, come to Hangzhou, cause Hangzhou's got it all!
You know that Hangzhou is the place to be
Come to Hangzhou
