Travel is not a must-have artifact
It has been more than half a year since I returned from Nairobi, and I have always wanted to write something for "Nairobi", but I have not found a quiet time for my soul.
We arrived in Nairobi on 2 August 2019. From Guangzhou, stop in Bangkok and fly another 9 hours to Nairobi International Airport.
Nairobi International Airport
As I walked out of the terminal, it was just dark in Nairobi, I was wearing half sleeves, feeling a little cool, and then it looked like the driver who picked us up was wearing a thin sweater. On the way to the hotel, the sky was bright, and I saw pedestrians rushing on the road, all wearing long-sleeved clothes.

Our original plan was to stay in Nairobi for three days and then go to the Great Rift Valley and Mount Kilimanjaro, but as a result, our companions' bags were stolen and our passports were lost, so we had to spend more than a week in Nairobi, visiting the attractions around Nairobi and the museums, shopping malls and markets in the city.
Nairobi's airport is beautiful and deserves the accolade of "Little Paris of East Africa". The surrounding environment of the Presidential Palace and the city hall in the city is good. The city's small streets and parks can be described as "very bad", most streets are one lane, cars drive fast, crossing the road has to run through, and many sidewalks are not hardened. As for the park (which may be beautiful, we did not go there) is almost a paradise for the wanderers, they sleep on stone benches or grass, looking at you with a wooden face, we have to run past, do not dare to make too many stops, when playing Uber, the driver also warned, it is best not to go to the overpass and the park alone, where the wanderers may have guns...

We first went to a shopping mall called "City Market" in the city, which has a bit of a "voluntary market" feeling in various cities in China, but the sales are the most authentic local indigenous products in Kenya, and the most attractive to us is ebony (ebony) wood carving, lions, elephants, rhinos... A variety of dazzling, carved exquisite portraits, the selling price is very thick, a half-foot high, ruler-long hand-carved lion for only 20 US knives, fist-sized small objects as long as a few US knives. In addition to ebony wood carving, there are soapstone stone carvings, exquisite carvings and beautiful prices.

Also went to a large shopping mall, decoration of high-end atmosphere, door security guards with guns, into the mall is indeed pearlescent, everything is comparable to the domestic Wangfujing shopping mall. See a lot of 4G mobile phone stores, because the mobile phone stores often seen on the street are "elderly machines", thinking that Nairobi people do not use smart phones.

Nairobi National Park is worth a visit, and according to the guide, all the animals on the African continent will be seen in the park except for cheetahs. We took a tour guide to the 1960s Nissan Land Patrol, the males entered the park, the most along the way were bison, zebras and giraffes, don't think, we must have gone to the "King of Africa" lion, drove for more than two hours into the Lion Valley, we were lucky to meet the lion, a family of three, in the grass to cool off, turning a blind eye to the off-road vehicles that entered its territory.

The village of Marseille is not large, and the long-necked Maasai people wear national costumes to perform for the visiting tourists, and also sell their handicrafts, which is full of commercial atmosphere.

Of course, the Kenya Museum is going to go, and the 15-dollar ticket for foreigners is not too expensive. There are elephants, rhinoceros fossils and specimens, and there are many bird specimens, a little "Red Revolution" exhibition hall, and then it is gone, feeling about the size of a county museum in China.

Finally went to the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, a long street, red walls and green tiles, The Chinese wind is blowing in the face, if it were not for the armed guards walking around, I really thought that I had reached the wall of a provincial government in China...
