We met with the capital's actors, bloggers and musicians and found out what places they prefer for walks, recreation, sports and delicious pastimes in Bishkek.

About me
I have lived in Bishkek since birth. I am a versatile person: I was engaged in different types of martial arts, dancing. At the moment I am blogging with my wife Aivara.
For us blogging is not just a hobby, but a full-fledged job and profession, which requires a lot of effort, time, patience and energy. The mission of our blog is to show that it is possible to live in healthy family relationships, love each other, work and develop. We in no way position ourselves as experts, we only share our experience and want to positively influence the family relationships of our audience.
Although Bishkek is a small city, it has a deep soul. Here live cool people who know each other through one handshake. This maintains a special love for their hometown.
Favorite places
Macaroni's
We love this place for its cozy and kind atmosphere, good service, delicious food and the open, kind community that gathers here.
Dzerzhinka
Dzerzhinka is one of our favorite locations in the capital, which Aivara and I prefer for walks in the evenings and at night. It's the perfect place for heart-to-heart conversations, where you can discuss everything in the world in an atmospheric setting.
Home
It is at home that we spend most of our free time relaxing and filling up. We are newlyweds, so we try to pay more attention to creating a cozy environment.
Shopping center “Dordoi Plaza”
This shopping center is located near our house, so we often go there, walk, work and visit the cinema.
Entertainment center “CosmoPark”
We often go to the movies in “CosmoPark”. It has become a home place for us.
City parks
A separate item I would like to mention the South highway: the park “Yntymak”, Michelle and the park “Adinai”, where I run every day in the spring and summer seasons. I also like the famous karaoke under the arch in Yntymak Park.
Aizhan Adenova, Bishkek, actress, blogger, @janadenova
About me
I am a wife, mom and an artist in life. I was born in Bishkek, in a family of two students with a great gene pool, thanks to which I was born. Leo by zodiac sign.
My love language is humor, because without it our life would be incredibly hard, sad and ordinary. For 11 years I have been acting in movies, series, appearing on television in front of a wide audience.
Favorite places
The square on Togolok moldo street
Not far from the square is the maternity hospital where my baby was born. I often walked there when he was still a baby. My fondest maternal memories are connected with this square.
Hyatt Hotel
The hotel hosts many international conferences. It was at the Hyatt that I met my husband, and it was here that I accepted his marriage proposal. Apart from that, we as a family love the hotel's Sunday brunches.
Cinemas
I love the cinemas of our city, because I consider myself a movie buff. I try not to miss any premiere and get great pleasure when watching movies with my husband and friends.
Home
A cozy abode where my family and I gather for delicious dinners and noisy fun gatherings.

About me
I am an ethnic Kyrgyz from China. I have been living in Kyrgyzstan on a permanent basis since 2017. I am a violinist and blogger.
Favorite places
Lotus restaurant
After meetings, I always want to have a hearty meal in a cozy place close to home, so I often go to Lotus Restaurant. I've been to many Turkish places, but Lotus is my favorite.
Supara Chunkurcak Ethno-Resort
Suburbia is another world, where you can enjoy silence, clean air and living in cozy yurts, as well as skiing. In this respect, we Kyrgyz are lucky.
Restaurant “Emperor”
The most authentic taste of Chinese cuisine, in my opinion, is here. “Emperor” is the place where I remember my childhood in China.
Kemal Ataturk Park
A favorite park that I prefer for walking alone. It is especially beautiful during the fall season.
Bubble tea at U&Me, GUM
Once again, favorite Chinese goodies. I was upset when my previous favorite bubble tea place was closed. After a while, I still managed to find a new favorite.
My favorite combination is pearl milk tea with red beans. I recommend everyone to try it.
