In Kenya, a modern railway with standard gauge built with Chinese assistance has long been the preferred route for local people's travel and tourists' check-in - it is the Mombasa Nairobi Railway connecting Mombasa and Nairobi. This 480km long transportation artery is the first brand-new railway built in Kenya since independence, and it is also a benchmark project for China Africa to jointly build the "the Belt and Road".

In the past, it took over 10 hours to travel from Mombasa to Nairobi, but now it only takes less than 5 hours to travel directly by taking the comfortable and smooth Mombasa Nairobi railway train. The spacious carriages, timely schedules, and reliable safety guarantees have made this railway an indispensable part of Kenyan people's lives, and have deeply rooted "Chinese speed" and "Chinese quality" in the land of East Africa. As of now, the Mombasa Nairobi Railway has been operating safely for over 3000 days, transporting tens of millions of passengers. With its stable operation day after day, it has written a solid answer to the friendship between China and Kenya.

The train travels westward, passing through the unique tropical grasslands and hilly scenery of Kenya. Outside the window, groups of wild animals occasionally pass by, while vast fields and village smoke are displayed. It is praised by many tourists as the "most beautiful sightseeing railway in East Africa". Many travelers specifically choose to take daytime flights just to immerse themselves in this unique experience of blending nature and modern engineering.

As a milestone in Kenya's century long transportation history, the Mombasa Nairobi Railway has not only changed the mode of transportation, but also driven the comprehensive development of commerce, tourism, and logistics along the route, creating a large number of job opportunities for the local area and activating the economic vitality of the East African region. This railway, designed, constructed, and built according to Chinese standards, has already surpassed transportation itself and become a path of friendship, development, and hope, continuously injecting a steady stream of power into the future of Kenya and East Africa.Editor/Bian Wenjun
