Then at 6:08, the little girl says she wants to be a part of Imogen's project because she finds it meaningful. The older girl after that (6:20) introduced Imogen to some friends at the night market, because she feels like the night market is sort of a microcosm of the city and she hopes that Imogen gets something out of that. The man at 6:37 had previously made a short film documenting Hangzhou, and hoping that the film would inspire her, gave her a copy.
The beginning is just an introduction to who Imogen is and that she's spending 6 weeks in Hangzhou. Then it talks about all the music awards that she's won, that she plays electronic music, and they also tell you her horoscope. Then they mention that she's filmed a music video about Hangzhou, incorporating sounds and images from the city, with the intention of bringing it back to England to broadcast it to the world. The instrument that she's trying to play around 4:22 is called the guzheng.
If anyone's drunk on life, it’s this little lady! China is a remarkable place. I'd love to go there one day, just to be overloaded with sights, sounds & senses. I wonder what they are saying in Chinese though :D Oh aren't they a beautiful people? So graceful, so comely, yet they are not allowed to be affectionate or tactile to one another (I heard). Imogen did a fantastic job in her Xizi She knows of capturing the ethos of China. I wish I could meet her to have a nice long amicable chat. Ànshì!
@withheadphoneson Sure. At 0:19 Imogen says "Hello everyone, I am Yi-mo-jin. Happy New Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai. (Chinese saying for 'Wishing you prosperity')" More translation in the comments.

love the fact that they only have the part where she actually does not sing in 'My Secret Friend'.
