Hi Everyone! If you go to Almaty you can visit Zenkov Cathedral and Almaty Central Mosque. Almaty Central Mosque is one of the largest mosques in Almaty, and in Kazakhstan. Designed to accommodate 7,000 worshippers, it was built on the site of the old mosque that dated to 1890 and caught fire in 1987.

Construction of the Almaty Metro began in 1988, and it began operation in December 2011. It is the first subway in Kazakhstan and the second in Central Asia. The first subway in Central Asia is the Tashkent Metro in Uzbekistan. The Almaty Metro is L-shaped, with major stations including Raimbek Batyr, Zhibek Zholy, Almaly, Abai, Baikonyr, Auezov Drama Theatre, Alatau, Sairan, and Moscow, among others. Each station of the Almaty Metro has a unique design, combining ethnic characteristics and modern elements. For example, Abai Station is the deepest station, with a depth of 78 meters. The interior is exquisitely decorated, with walls and floors adorned with beige and brown marble. At the end of the platform, there is a beautiful bronze relief depicting the great poet Abai Kunanbayev. 🚉Main Stations: Raiymbek Batyr Station: Almaty Central Mosque, Green Market. Zhibek Zholy Station: Ascension Cathedral, Arbat Street, and Panfilov Park. Abai Station: Kok Tobe (cable car), Independence Monument, Central Museum. Almaly Station: 200 meters south, the Abai Opera and Ballet Theatre hosts opera performances. Baikonur Station: You can go to the Central Stadium to experience the charm of a live football match. 💰Ticket Prices: Locals generally use the contactless "Onay!" card for payment. However, there are also manual counters where you can buy tickets with cash. Regardless of the distance, the fare is a flat rate of 150 tenge. You will receive a yellow token, which you can insert into the turnstile to enter the station. No card is required to exit the station. 📝Tips: Since Almaty only has one line, it is very convenient to take the subway. Just pay attention to the direction of the train. Due to the depth of the subway, there is no mobile signal, but there are voice announcements. After the Kazakh announcement, there is an English announcement, so you generally won't miss your stop. Image 20 is a photo of the station map inside the subway station. Pay attention to the English station names to avoid missing your stop!

The charm of Almaty does not end there. Those who are in a hurry to travel can learn from it. Different people have different opinions! Because I personally like architecture and design, and I also have a special liking for humanities. If you are like this, you might as well take a closer look. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : But there is a very good coffee shop inside, the Flask American coffee is very, very OK (just my personal taste) you can take a break or sort out your PYQ; there is also a Postcard shop inside which is very creative and can make souvenirs (TarTpa)】➡️ Kok Tobe Park【🚕Go there. Just choose Kok Tobe instead of Kok Tobe Cablestation 🎫: 5000 tenge round trip ⚠️ It is strongly recommended to go around 17:00, queue for about 20-30 minutes, go up and play for a while to watch the sunset, and the recommended playing time is 75 minutes】➡️ Choose a restaurant to eat and then return to the hotel to rest 😴. The above is my one-day itinerary❗️If you choose public transportation or bicycle, you can divide it into 2 days according to your schedule. PS: [P1/P4] I took photos on the way to the Ascension Cathedral from Mercure Almaty; [P5/P7] I took photos on the way back from the mosque; P8 is within a 10-minute walk from the hotel. I really like the atmosphere of Almaty. The city is lush and green. It is worth walking and looking slowly...
