Unlike many of its other Asian neighbors, Kazakhstan doesn't often find itself on traveler's bucket lists. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have plenty of draws. The country's capital, Astana, is a fascinating city that looks almost futuristic with its tent-shaped shopping mall, glass pyramid, and a 100-meter tall tower that's often compared to a lollipop. The recently-built Hazrat Sultan Mosque is a sight to behold, too.

The country's former capital, Almaty, is just as glitzy and glamorous; many say it's reminiscent of a European city. For those looking for the outdoors, there are snow-capped peaks and hiking trails bordered by tranquil lakes. Aksu-Zhabagly and Kolsai Lakes National Park are both worth a visit.

Pretty interesting , I always like to learn new stuff about other places that I've never been before. It's beautiful, wish there were some more pictures though.

For me this picture was enough, i just fell in love with this place every time i watch it
