Lyric

The Great Wall winds like a dragon’s tail

Temple bells echo, stories sail

Peking duck, crispy skin so fine

Candied hulu sticks, sweet on the line

In the Forbidden City, cats read books

Martial arts tales float through alley nooks

“Hey, who are you?” “I’m the master of the dragon punch,”

Eighteen moves, unbeatable in a bunch

East to west, every street’s a thrill

Eat and drink, the night won’t chill

Every bite a surprise that makes us sing

Travel’s not a tour, it’s tasting everything

Xiaolongbao, gulu-gulu, yum yum yum

Lamb skewers, chew-chew, beat the drum

From Beijing to Chengdu, swinging like kung-fu

Egg yolk cakes, glutinous treats — boom boom boom!

Suzhou gardens, rock and water blend

Hangzhou’s West Lake, willow trees bend

Meet Xu Xian on the Broken Bridge snow

Borrow Lady White’s umbrella — love will show

Snack towers stacking high

Spicy hotpot jumps to the sky

Opera dolls on festival stages play

I’m Hua Mulan, leading the fray

Shake the bells, chicken wings aroma flows

Braised beef, baked buns, bao soup — who knows?

Lijiang old town, ribbons in the breeze

Erhai waters, your song, my drum, we please

Mongolian yurts, warm milk tea

Ride across the grasslands, wild and free

Hooves beat the rhythm, my hands clap along

Roast lamb waits, don’t eat it all too strong

Bang bang, eat, eat, sticky rice balls

Laugh and talk, jump, jump, festival calls

Take a bite, spin around, taste it all

Flavors of China, big and small

Sun shines in Yunnan, I’m in Xi’an soup

Songs fly, dreams dance, loop after loop

From Sun Wukong on Hua Mountain check-in

To spicy treats from Hong Lou dreams begin

Goodbye Beijing, see you Chengdu

Nanjing, Harbin, we’re coming through

Travel, eat, laugh, repeat our song

China’s flavors — we belong!
