Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, Citywalk recommended strategy

Tashkent means 'Stone City' in Turkic languages, and the history of this city can be traced back at least to the Sogdian city-state era (around the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in China). Walking through the city, the streets are wide and lined with green trees, and whether it's the scenery or the pedestrians on the street, it all vaguely makes me feel like I am walking on the streets of Yili. The urban area of Tashkent is not large, and Yilan spent two days last week wandering the city, recommending this Citywalk route in Tashkent: Amir Timur Square: Amir Timur Square is the center of Tashkent, with the city's landmark - the statue of Emperor Timur standing in the middle of the square. Around Amir Timur Square, you can see the tall Uzbekistan Hotel and Dom Forum, the former being the most luxurious international hotel, and the latter a national-style venue for receiving foreign guests. Independence Square: Crossing a shopping street from Amir Timur Square, you will reach Independence Square, built to commemorate the independence of Uzbekistan. The square is topped with white egrets representing peace. Tashkent's Independence Square covers an area of 12 hectares and is a square that the people of Uzbekistan take pride in. The square features the Independence Monument erected in 1991, symbolizing the sovereignty of Uzbekistan. Surrounding the square are the Senate building, Romanov Palace, the Crying Mother Monument, and the Earthquake Memorial. White Mosque: The White Mosque (Minor Mosque) was built in the summer of 2013, adopting traditional Eastern architectural styles while incorporating modern elements. Although new, it does not affect its dazzling beauty, decorated with white marble, it is very eye-catching under the clear sky, especially suitable for photography. Tashkent TV Tower: This 375-meter-high triangular base building is a product of the Soviet era and is also a famous landmark building in Tashkent. By purchasing a ticket, you can go up to the observation deck about 100 meters high to overlook Tashkent. Central Asian Pilaf Center: Right at the foot of the TV tower, it is more of a tourist must-see spot than a restaurant. This is a restaurant that only sells pilaf, with a huge pot with a diameter of 1.5M selling 5 pots a day. Tashkent Chorsu Bazaar: To understand a city, you must go to the local market, and Chorsu Bazaar is highly recommended, also known as the Dome Bazaar. This is a very large bazaar, divided into many areas, with the central area under the big blue dome selling beef, lamb, horse meat, yogurt, pickles, dried fruits, etc., surrounded by a circle of shops selling vegetables, fruits, clothes, carpets, gold, crafts, etc., bustling with many locals coming here to shop. Assumption Cathedral: This Eastern Orthodox church was built in 1958 and was renovated in the 1990s. Its golden domes are very dazzling and beautiful, making it the largest Eastern Orthodox church in Tashkent. Cameras are not allowed inside the church, but mobile phone photography is permitted. Hazrati Imam Square (Hazrati Imam Complex): This complex appeared near the tomb of one of Tashkent's first Imams, the famous scientist, Quran and Hadith scholar, poet, and craftsman Hazrati Imam. The new building of the Hazrati Imam Mosque was completed in 2007. The structure of the mosque consists of the mosque itself and two minarets, retaining the style of the sixteenth century. I am Yilan, a travel-loving photographer, taking you to explore new and beautiful places to love❤~
