Global Travel | From Bishkek to Moscow: A Journey Through the Humanities and Scenery of Eurasia.

1️⃣ From Bishkek, we embarked on a long journey across Central Asia and Russia. This journey is not only a geographical crossing, but also a baptism of rich humanities and scenery. 2️⃣ Shortly after leaving Bishkek, we arrived at our first stop in Kazakhstan, Almaty. Surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains, this city is a harmonious blend of modernity and nature. Strolling in front of the Abai Theater under the floodlights, you will find yourself surrounded by tree-lined streets and Soviet-era buildings. The Green Market in Almaty is full of life, with various spice and fruit stalls reflecting the enthusiastic smiles of the people, giving you a strong sense of regional characteristics. 3️⃣ Continuing north, we arrived at Kazakhstan's new capital, Astana (now Nur-Sultan). This futuristic city is known for its modern architecture. The Bayterek Tower is particularly dazzling under the blue sky and white clouds, symbolizing the prosperity and progress of Kazakhstan. In the National Museum of Kazakhstan, we gained an in-depth understanding of the intertwining of nomadic culture and modernization, and this cultural collision is impressive. 4️⃣ After leaving Astana, we crossed endless grasslands and forests and entered Russia. The first stop is Yekaterinburg, an industrial town located at the junction of Europe and Asia. The iconic "Europe-Asia Boundary Marker" in the city has become a highlight of the journey. From here, the architectural style of the city gradually transitions from Soviet-style to Russian Orthodox churches, and the golden dome of St. Catherine's Cathedral shines in the sun, making people linger in the city's rich sense of history. 5️⃣ The next stop is Kazan, one of Russia's cultural centers and a microcosm of multiculturalism. In the Kazan Kremlin, we witnessed the scene of Orthodox churches and mosques standing side by side, and this religious inclusiveness reflects the unique charm of Kazan. The blue and white domes of the Qolşärif Mosque are breathtakingly beautiful, and the quiet atmosphere inside the mosque is awe-inspiring. 6️⃣ Finally, we arrived at the end of the journey, the Russian capital, Moscow. The vastness of Red Square and the colorful St. Basil's Cathedral are breathtaking. People here walk in a hurry, but they take a leisurely stroll along the Moscow River at night, showing the rhythm of this metropolis intertwined with busyness and leisure. 7️⃣ Along the way, we not only crossed the geographical mountains and rivers, but also felt the diversity of culture. From grasslands to forests, from mosques to churches, this is an unforgettable journey of culture and nature. Every city and every smiling face makes people feel the richness and magnificence of the Eurasian continent.
