Finally, after visa dangerous and six hours later, we have stepped into this mysterious city astana, nearly eleven o 'clock at night, when the sun has not yet completely down, this is her first impression to us.
The mood that enter a customs still is a bit small fear, after passing through customs smoothly, although the mosquito that faces a face to come, the mood is full of relaxed and happy however.
The tree of life
The source of the city
Astana is not actually a city's name, it is the meaning of "capital", will be removed from almaty, the capital of the north, 1300 kilometers to kazakhstan in astana is more a national security concerns, do not know if this is related to the characteristics of nomads insecure.
President nursultan nazarbayev's decision to shift its seat of twenty years ago when met a lot of resistance, however, if you are in kazakhstan's national museum, you will find a picture of a construction site at that time, we can see on the picture in astana is the presidential palace, built in the city's first building, was the first President to live in astana.
Presidential imprint
The tree of life, the national pavilion of the world expo, etc. Astana's universities and airports are named after the President, and the city will soon be named after him.
A bit the size of the building will contact with the President to pull on a bit, many construction completion date as July 6, this day is the birthday of Mr. President, these buildings are built for the President, or for the President's birthday gift. It's either height, or it's width, but you'll always find a number or a concept that's relevant to the President.
This shows how much influence the nearly 30-year old President has in this country.
Expo national pavilion
A country without taxis!
Taxis are rarely seen in this city or in this country. If you stand on the street and wave your hand, a car will stop by your side. Any car can be regarded as a taxi. I just don't know if there is any relevant solution and legal basis for the dispute.
"This city is very safe. Compared with other countries I have visited, it is too safe. "I haven't experienced or heard of anything unsafe in the last few years," said a local Chinese friend. This is in contrast to the frequent accidents in the domestic taxi industry.

Astana most notably within the local people's cultural quality, in the absence of traffic light intersection roadway road, driving the driver politely active slowing stopped to you in the past. Young men on buses have space and won't take a seat.
There are also people here who rarely smoke cigarettes and throw cigarette butts about, all of them avoid pedestrians in the garbage can after smoking, very conscious. You seldom see smokers on the streets of this city, especially in public places. Even on the open streets, you have to smoke in the smoking area.

The road to globalization
"Emissaries look at each other in the road, business travel is not in the road"
The development course of transnational corporation indicates that enterprise internationalization, globalization, and strong national power are the only way.
Say it's easy to "go out", line of "going out", but in one thousand, people in order to survive and develop, although by political grip, cultural blocks, but never stop the footsteps of the outside world to explore.
Abroad, kazakhstan is the first country in the silk road economic belt. In 2013, it was in the university of kazakhstan nursultan nazarbayev, the general secretary put forward the great idea of "region", and presents a scheme: China political mutual trust, economic integration and cultural tolerance. Today, President na's "road to light" revitalization plan seems to coincide.
