Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world, bordering Xinjiang, China. It has always been a familiar and unfamiliar presence in my heart. My understanding of it is not only based on the Central Asian history I read in books, and that it is one of the member states of the former Soviet Union, but also that some of its land used to belong to the historical territory of China.

#May Travel Support Fund I visited the National Museum in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Even before entering the building, the door is quite fancy. The interior is also quite fancy. The admission fee is expensive, but you should prepare cash in advance. Compared to the size of the museum, the exhibits are disappointing.

#2月好去2025 Kazakhstan is a world-renowned tourist resort city, and tourists from all over the world come to Kazakhstan for sightseeing and vacation. Kazakhstan has famous lakes, parks, churches, opera houses, etc. Today we recommend a famous opera house attraction: Abai State Opera and Ballet Theater. Here you can enjoy drama, opera, ballet performances, etc. The opera house has a strong artistic atmosphere, with a yellow and white exterior. There is a fountain next to the opera house. This architectural style has been carefully designed, reflecting the Kazakh people's strong interest in art. The opera house is luxuriously decorated, with a crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the hall, a blue cloud roof, and colored European-style columns surrounding it, making it look noble and elegant! There are seats in the middle of the pillars where you can take photos and pose. There are two ways to buy tickets for the opera house online and offline. The offline one is on the left side inside the opera house entrance. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know English. When buying tickets, there is a large screen where you can choose the seat you want to sit. You can enter the opera 1-2 hours before the start of the opera. When you enter the hall, there are storage services, toilets, etc. The opera house is divided into VIP rooms and ordinary rooms! The hall can accommodate several hundred people. There seemed to be four VIP seats, but I only went to one of them. The hall leads to the seats, which are a semicircle surrounding the stage, and the second floor is for VIP listening. Very suitable for taking photos, checking in, family vacation and sightseeing! Address: Kabanbay Batyr St 110, Almaty 050000 Kazakhstan Opening hours: 17:00-23:00

On the afternoon of the first day, we arrived at the National Museum of China. The entrance fee was 500 tenge per person, which is less than 7 yuan! (Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan) Address: Samal-1 shaǵyn aýdany, 44. Opening hours: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm (closed on Tuesdays) "Kok-Tobe", locally known as "Green Mountain Park". Overlooking Almaty and the snow-capped mountains, the sunset is especially beautiful! We took a taxi to the minibus location. The minibus cost 1,500 tenge to go up the mountain, and we wandered around the top of the mountain. At 4:30, we took the cable car (3,000 one-way) down the mountain and watched the sunset. You can also choose a round-trip cable car (5,000)

1️⃣The Central Museum of Almaty is an excellent place to learn about the history and culture of Kazakhstan; 2️⃣The museum’s building🏗️has a modern appearance, and the overall building is very majestic under the aerial lens; 3️⃣The museum is divided into multiple exhibition halls, with all kinds of exhibits ranging from ancient cultural relics to modern national culture. The most eye-catching thing is a replica of the "Golden Man" armor. This national treasure of Kazakhstan symbolizes the glory of the ancient nomadic culture. Stone tools, prairie totems and traditional costumes are displayed in the exhibition hall; 4️⃣In addition to historical exhibits, handicrafts, musical instruments and horse gear are displayed in the exhibition hall, allowing people to feel the wisdom and creativity of this nation's harmonious coexistence with nature. The text descriptions and multimedia interactive displays in the museum are also very detailed, helping me gain a deeper understanding of the past and present of this land. 5️⃣I gained a lot from the few hours I spent visiting the museum. This is not only a treasure house of history, but also an important window to understand Kazakh culture.

🏞✨The National Museum of Kazakhstan is not in the capital Astana, but in Almaty. However, I prefer to call the National Museum in Almaty a former site, because many of the museum's treasures have already been moved to the new capital Astana. As a building, this former museum is quite exquisite, but the collections inside are quite ordinary. 🏞✨The most worthwhile places to visit in the museum are the front square and the lobby. The various exhibitions are basically not worth visiting unless you have a lot of time in Almaty. The special exhibitions, in particular, are ridiculously expensive. The basic exhibitions are just about the things in history books. Anyone who has listened to history classes in middle or high school will find the exhibitions here a bit of a rip-off. 🏞✨The huge stone pillars make the museum look like a palace or castle. The warm yellow marble columns, combined with the hard lines and blue glass, have a retro feel. This may be the only imagination left to us by the former Soviet Union. This kind of building, like a torrent of steel, is impossible to build again. These old buildings are worth seeing while they still exist. 🏞✨Kazakhstan is a country that loves Tiffany blue. The background color of the national emblem and flag, the passport, and even the color of the entry stamp are all Tiffany blue. This color makes them feel calm. They like a quiet and peaceful life. The blue round dome, the Soviet-style Roman columns, and the hard architectural lines make the National Museum a representative of Kazakh style. 🏞✨When you enter the museum, the huge dome is not as beautiful as an old church, but the extreme lines and the skylight on the roof make this museum, which has few collections, look very beautiful. When the sunlight shines through the skylight into the room, it adds a little style to the otherwise boring museum. 🏞✨Logically, the National Museum should display some historically valuable paintings, but I didn't expect Kazakhstan to be so down-to-earth. A whole wall here is in an elementary school drawing style. The old church I saw on the street a few days ago was also sketched. However, I was shocked that this rough sketch could be displayed in the National Museum. Tips 📍✨Address: Samal-1 microdistrict, Almaty (View Map) 📍✨How to get there: Take bus 2, 63, or 73 📍✨Opening hours: 9:30 am–5:30 pm, closed on Mondays 📍✨Tickets: KZT 5,000 for foreigners

​ ❤Recommended because: The Central State Museum is the best museum in Almaty. Exhibits range from Bronze Age funeral items to modern telecommunications equipment, as well as a large number of exquisitely crafted handicrafts, and some artifacts from the Tang Dynasty in China. 👍Most recommended: There is an exhibition that requires an additional 1,000 KZT, which displays ancient gold jewelry excavated from the Scythian tombs from the 6th to 3rd centuries BC. The Central State Museum has several types of tickets to choose from. You can take photos with your phone, but not with a camera. More than half of the visitors in the museum are Chinese.

Kazakhstan, with an area of 272.49 square kilometers (the largest of the five Central Asian countries), has a population of 20.13 million (as of July 2024) and is a former Soviet Union member. It became independent on December 16, 1991, and its capital is Astana. Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, has an area of 682 square kilometers and is the national economic, financial, cultural, transportation, industrial, and scientific and educational center. The population in 2023 was about 2.3 million, and it was the capital from 1929 to 1997. The Central State Museum is one of the largest museums in Central Asia and is located in Almaty.

The building is very grand, but the exhibits inside are average, probably introducing the lives of various Kazakh ethnic groups and Kazakh history.

The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the main museums in Kazakhstan and one of the largest and oldest museums in Central Asia. The museum's inventory exceeds 300,000 items. Currently, the museum has seven main permanent exhibition halls, and its diverse collections not only allow people to intuitively understand the history of paleontology, but also intuitively understand the ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary history and cultural heritage of Kazakhstan.
