In just 17 hours, flowers from Kenya can reach Changsha. Now our business is getting bigger and more convenient, "Huang Zinan, the director of the Kenya Pavilion in the permanent exhibition area of the 3rd China Africa Economic and Trade Expo held in Changsha, Hunan, told reporters. Entering the Kenya Pavilion, various flowers are brightly colored and fragrant.
