Jakarta visitors, Yunnan calls on you to come

Highlighting the many-splendored provincial life, a Yunnan cultural and tourism promotion will be staged in Jakarta, Indonesia, on May 15, and YICC specially rolls out a music video for this occasion. The following is transcript of the lyrics.

Jakarta visitors, Yunnan calls on you to come

Verse 1
Volcanoes cradle ancient stupas' reflection;
Three Parallel Rivers leap into bronze bells' vibration.
Terraced fingerprints press on rainforest's skin;
Prambanan sunset brews tea staining Komodo's fin.

Rhinos roam with scriptures from forgotten dynasties.
Jungle mist becomes Yunnan's mailed cloud fantasies.

Oh Jakarta visitors, Yunnan calls you through monsoon's hymn,
borrowing a stone from Borobudur to mend the old town's rim.
Indian Ocean winds strum Lijiang's carved wooden eaves;
Bronze vessels are filled with spices for cultural exchanges.

Verse 2

Batik patterns have waltz with the indigo tie-dye swirls;
Shadow puppets dance to Bai strings of shining pearls.
Clove-like coffee aroma floats to Pu'er's tea domain;
Temple bells cascade through Honghe's terraced chain.

Sunken porcelain brews coral through time's slow grind;
Zheng He's maritime routes are pearled in ages entwined.

Stupa steps are numbering Hani's mushroom houses tall;
Komodo glides where Yuanyang's watery mirrors sprawl.
Three Rivers' water-ink scripts archipelago's ancient lore,
where rhinos tread and life's symphonies forever roar.

The end

Oh Jakarta folks, Yunnan's call reaches the volcanic cone;
Snow peaks send invites where tectonic plates have grown.
Clove twirls with tea leaves in monsoon's mailing spree;
World Heritage pages hold our shared legacy for free.

Yogyakarta's shadow puppets dance in Dali's dyed hue;
Stupa stones embroider clouds which snow peaks renew.
Jakarta tourists, Yunnan awaits you where horizons blend!
Mountain-sea dialogues the Earth's growth rings transcend.
