Astana

Astana Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world, Plains, deserts, rivers, lakes, snow-capped mountains, canyons... Diverse landforms create diverse landscapes here, All seasons can bring new charm. 1. Astana means "capital" in Kazakh. It is also one of the youngest capitals in the world. 2. Astana was originally named "Akmola" and was once an important stop on the ancient Silk Road. 3. Astana is the second coldest capital in the world, with a lowest temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius. This capital, which started almost from scratch, has become a stage for a group of world-class architects to showcase their talents and compete silently. A large number of futuristic buildings with various styles and unique shapes have emerged one after another, embodying high-tech and avant-garde creativity that is eye-opening. The whole city can be regarded as a city full of imagination and concepts. "The Khan Shatyr" also known as "The Tent of the Khan", is one of the iconic buildings in Astana, claiming to be the largest tent in the world. Its inspiration comes from the yurts, the traditional homes of the Kazakh nomads. "The Khan's Tent" is a leisure center that integrates shopping, dining, and entertainment. The ethnic-style exterior design, international-standard interior decoration, and advanced temperature-controlled building materials make this building light and airy, bridging the gap between ancient and modern. Inside the tent, there is a huge shopping center, a food court, and a lot of amusement facilities. There is even a tropical beach on the top floor - swimming pool, beach, palm trees - you will forget that you are in the heart of Eurasia far from the ocean. Even in the cold winter of minus thirty degrees, it maintains a summer temperature inside.
