Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan. It's a very big and beautiful city. There are so many interesting and wonderful showplaces! A lot of people visit Astana for sightseeing. Baiterek is the symbol of the city, and from it you can see the whole city. Astana is situated in Central Kazakhstan, on the river Ishim. There are also a lot of theatres, cinemas and stores. Astana is a young city, but it's very developing city.

Before visiting Astana I was sure that Almaty is the best city of Kazakhstan. The former capital of our country which is situated at the foot of the Ala-Tau Mountains is fantastic. But last summer I greatly changed my opinion.Astana is not only the heart of my Motherland but it’s a very beautiful city with modern buildings, splendid flowerbeds, wide and straight streets, magnanimous citizens. There you can see the blue sky, which is usually is not seen in big cities. As most of the biggest capitals of the world Astana is situated on the banks of the river.For the history the age of Astana is a moment but in a short of time one of the most important cities of Eurasia appeared. It has a great future. I wish this city become one of the best cities of the world.
