On the surface of the earth, there are plenty of amazing, majestic, sacred, and picturesque places, skillfully adorned by the power of nature and erected by human hands. Part of them is the ancient city of Taraz on the Great Silk Road.

First President N.A. Nazarbayev gave his assessment: "Taraz is a sacred and blessed place, a link between the past and the present, a symbol of eternity."
