In 2010 the 6th World Choir Games took place in Shaoxing, China. Shaoxing, a prospering capital with a history that is thousands of years old, is situated close to Shanghai. The World Choir Games brought the world of choir music to China. Shaoxing showed the world a hospitable country with ancient traditions embedded in a modern life.

Lyrics:
Wecome to Shaoxing
You make the city sing
You will make new friends
and we wish that it never ends
Make these days a big feast of peace and harmony!
Come sing together and share this melody.
Meet us in Shaoxing for joy and singing
Meet us in Shaoxing to touch our hearts!
Meet uns in Shaoxing for joy and singing
and our feelings fly to heaven all the times.
Meet us in Shaoxing for joy and singing
and our feelings (will) fly to heaven all the times.
