An advertising video about Hangzhou, the host city of the upcoming G20 summit, was released on Monday and will be seen in Europe in the coming months.
The one-minute-long English video made by BBC World News features iconic attractions in Hangzhou such as Alibaba Group, West Lake, LongJing tea garden and Leifeng Pagoda accompanied by light music and catchy lyrics.
It will be broadcast on BBC World News from Aug 8 to late October to an estimated audience of 20 million in 44 European countries.
Hangzhou received 423,000 European tourists last year, according to Xinhua reports. The 2016 G20 summit which will be held from Sept 4 to 5 is expected to bring more visitors around the world to the city in East China's Zhejiang province.
According to its official website, G20 was initiated in 1999 and consists of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union (EU).
The first G20 summit was held in 2008.
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
