Drop the beat on beauty of Yunnan’s green lake

Yangzi Suyun, a representative of Yunnan Business Office in Myanmar and Heng Monida, a Cambodian student at Kunming Medical University, recently took part in the “Yunnan Hand in Hand Program” International Communicators Training Camp in central Yunnan's Kunming city.

Jointly hosted by Yunnan Provincial People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and Yunnan International Communication Center for South and Southeast Asia (YICC), the training camp aims to improve the ability of new media lovers, while facilitating mutual learning among civilizations.

During the training camp, Yangzi and Heng are impressed by the cultural tourist services around the Cuihu/ green lake scenic area in downtown Kunming, and they finally produced a rap video. Let’s drop the beat and see the lyrics:

What can I say about Cuihu, pearl on the plateau?
I can't finish talking in three days and nights.

If you take a look into the emerald lake,
The lakeside willow will have a slight shake.
Busy tourists are coming and going;
Pedal boats in the lake are swaying.
As an old landmark,
Cuihu is for new business.

Oh, my god!
Look at the Yunnan Military Academy;
It’s a pilot drilling ground for Chinese army.

Generals Zhu De, Cai E and Long Yun are trained here;
Master-hands in China's war effort against Japan there.
A history of over a hundred years is now shining;
The stories deserve to be told by future generation.

Now we come to the Qianju Street,
Where pickled dishes can't be refused.
Berry, pineapple, mango and bean preserved,
You need to enjoy the special Yunnan food.

Witty young guys, this way please!
You’re arriving at the Wenlin Street.
In the reclusive Elephant Bookstore,
Coffee and books give you the ultimate.
