Humorlook,

The lyrics are pretty and the singer has a very sweet voice. However, is this actually considered classical Chinese music? It sounds like pop to me, assuming I have the correct video based on the search characters and the title you gave:

梦里水乡 ("Water Town in Dream")



This song sounds like easy listening music to me...too placid to stand out in my mind as anything but background music. However, it is very restful and I like the flute.

Agreed.
