The people of Teochew welcome you

I have this urge to write out the lyrics of this song about Teochew’s distinguishing sceneries. The Romanised Teochew is based on the singer’s accent and are not the standard Romanisation according to Teochew dictionaries. The singer has a Teochew City accent.

This song is about all the beautiful places around Teochew City which people should visit when they go to Teochew. 

I hope you will enjoy listening to this song as much as me.
