Visiting Astana city

Hello from cold Astana, Kazakhstan!

Astana is a capital of Kazakhstan and is situated in the north part of the country and therefore is considered as one of  the coldest cities in the country. The city is a business centre of the country. There are a lot of beautiful buildings and places. So it was interesting for me to visit our new capital. It took almost 12 hours on a bus to reach there from Almaty and cost about 1000RM. City has a lot of entertaining places but most exciting for me was Khan Shatyr, one of the city’s newest additions, a series of parks, shops and sites of diversion spanning 140,000 square meters that is covered by the world’s largest tent. The Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center was the second national project in Astana designed by UK architect Norman Faster.  One of the exciting places there is a sky beach, a beach inside of the building which you can visit even in the winter time. Me and my brother had to visit this place.  And being honest, it was one of the best places i have ever visited. The construction of the building is breathtaking. Theme park inside is a good place to go for families. Prices are not high at all, we have spent 50RM for each. The sky beach cost 150RM for each and it was really interesting place to see. There are different international shops which you would not find in other cities of the country. Here are some pictures i took

 Look at the construction!
