If you like ancient constructions and the history in general, you should visit old city Turkestan. It is situated 160 km north-west of Shymkent between Kyzylorda to the north and Tashkent to the south. It takes about two hours from Shymkent. You can go there by train or car.

Known to historians as Yassy and Shavgar, this city was the capital of the Kazakh khanate. There is one of the most notorious monuments in Turkestan— The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yassawi. He was a Turkic poet and the person who had a great influence on the development of Sufi orders throughout the Turkic-speaking world. Also you can see the railway station, which was built in 1903 during the construction of the southern branch of Orenburg-Tashkent railroad.

The UNESCO has included Turkestan in the list of the world’s heritage.
