Shymbulak

I went to Almaty this summer. The plane had to fly over the Tianshan Mountains. In fact, the Tianshan Mountains have been extending throughout Kazakhstan. When traveling in Almaty, Qiongbulak is a magnificent attraction that must be visited! Otherwise, it is a waste of time! Qiongbulak area is extremely magnificent! You can experience four seasons in one day, and the weather is different every ten miles! You can always encounter the strange phenomenon of sunrise in the east and rain in the west... You can take the aerial cable car directly to the foot of the glacier at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters. Qiongbulak Ski Resort is definitely an ideal ski resort with good climatic conditions, an average temperature of 20℃ in summer and 7℃ in winter, a snow depth of up to 150 cm, and more than 300 days of sunny days a year. It provides a variety of services and facilities, including cable car services, hotel accommodation and many restaurants and cafes. In summer, you can also take a cable car tour, hike, and challenge paragliding, etc. Therefore, to explore the natural wonders of Almaty, Kazakhstan, Qiongbulak Snow Mountain Cable Car is definitely an adventure you cannot miss!

The Big Almaty Lake gives us different feelings in different seasons. In autumn, the Big Almaty Lake has more water, and in summer, it has less water because a lot of it is discharged to the city for water supply. In autumn, the melting of ice and snow fills the Big Almaty Lake again.

The view was beautiful and the buildings were sparkling. As expected of Astana, designed by a Japanese person, you could see the whole city. It's lower than Tokyo Tower or Skytree, but you can experience a different atmosphere.

A very beautiful and tidy mosque outside, white walls with gold domes, magnificent; the interior hall is decorated in colorful colors, not luxurious but very solemn.

The Manjali Mosque in Kazakhstan, located in the center of Atlau, opened on May 5, 2001, and can accommodate 600 people. Although it is in the center, the mosque is generally quiet.
