"Sweet honey, you smile so sweetly. Just like flowers blooming with the spring wind…" On October 24, Victor, an African gentleman, led a group of tourists in singing "Sweet Honey", a popular Chinese song by the famous singer Teresa Teng, at the Hecun African Cultural Park, Kaifu District, Changsha. The scene was filled with joy and harmony.

The Hecun African Cultural Park is the first African culture themed park in Hunan Province. It has seven exhibition areas, presenting African culture from different aspects. Visitors can appreciate oil paintings by African artists and handicraftsmen, experience African drums and other African musical instruments, and taste authentic African food. In addition, there is a football field and a camping area for recreations.
