Top Things to Do in Bishkek "Top Things To Do in Bishkek" For most, Bishkek is a transit town for those making their way further into Central Asia. But those who choose to stay in Kyrgyzstan’s capital are fascinated by its Soviet-era architecture, the sweeping, mountain views offered by its national parks, and its vibrant bazaars. Erstellt von : Cityseeker 10 Vorgemerkte Orte Ala-Too Square "A symbol of Kyrgyzstan's Freedom" Opened in the year 1984, Ala-Too Square, which has the distinction of being recognized as Bishkek's central square was created to commemorate Kyrgyz SSR's 60th anniversary. At that time, a sculpture of Lenin was placed at the center which was then replaced with a new one referred to as Erkindik meaning 'Freedom' and finally by the statue by t_y_l depicting Manas in 2011, which was done as a part of celebrations for 20th anniversary of Kyrgyz SSR's dissolution. An important site of anti- gob=vernment protest in 2005, the square is also synonymous with several important events. One such event was the memorial ceremony held to honor Chinghiz Aitmatov, who was from Kyrgyzstan. Chuy Prospekti, Bishkek Ala-Artscha-Nationalpark "Soaring Peaks" Nestled in the heart of the snow-capped Tian Shan mountains, the Ala Archa National Park spans more than 200 square kilometers (77 square miles). From the towering crest of Semenova Tian-Shanski to steep gorges carved by the Ala-Archa River and glacier-honed valleys, this park is nature untamed. The park's diverse environment range from the aromatic by Vitaliknyc juniper forests after which the park is named to the waterfall strewn mountains and rivers swelled with fresh trout. The park is also home to an abundance of wildlife including the virtually extinct snow leopard and roe deer and marmots. Hiking trails ranging from easy to difficult is one of the easiest ways to explore the beauty of nature. Ala Archa National Park, Bishkek Victory Square "A Symbol of Perseverance" A symbol of victory over Nazi Germany, Victory Square is a public square that was created in 1984. Identifiable by its three red-colored ribs made of granite, some of the square's notable characteristics include the Eternal Fire and a sculpture depicting a woman waiting for her husband, who by A.Savin (Wikimedia went to the war. The eternal Fire is guarded and the Changing of the Commons · WikiPhotoSpace) Guard is scheduled for every hour. Sultan Ibraimov Street, Bishkek Burana Tower "A Karakhanid Reminder" The Burana Tower is the last surviving memory of the Turkic dynasty. Located a short drive away from Bishkek, this tower is a quintessential example of Persian architecture. Accentuated with intricate artwork, the tower overlooks a seemingly endless expanse of wild grass. It towers more than 40 meters (131 feet) above Balasagun, the erstwhile capital of by Zossolino the Sogdian city, with long-forgotten grave markers keeping it company. The interior of the minaret consists of a winding staircase that leads to a makeshift observation deck. This is a perfect vantage point to soak in picturesque views of the snow-dappled Tian Shan mountains. Burana Tower, Tokmok Osh Bazaar "Among Bishkek's Largest Bazaars" Found on the Western part of Bishkek, the Osh Bazaar is the go-to place to purchase food products and other household items. Recognized as one of the city's largest shopping destinations, Osh Bazaar also sells clothes, musical instruments and souvenirs. Clothes can be purchased that are specially tailored to fit the customer's needs be it color or size. Another by Ekrem Canli popular thing to purchase here is the wooden trunks, found in the national goods section. Also found in the market are products that are symbols of Kyrgyzstan's culture. Off Bubusara Beyshenalieva Street, Bishkek Dordoy Bazaar "Among Asia's Popular Markets" Dordoy Bazaar which is also referred to as Dordoi Bazaar is a popular wholesale market built using shipping containers placed one over the other. The market is the go-to place for consumer products including toys, furniture, clothing, automotive supplies, electronic equipment, shoes and many more. Grocery items such as canned food items can also be by Vmenkov purchased here. Products from different countries like China, Thailand, Russia and Turkey are found here. Thanks to the aforementioned features, Dordoy Bazaar was described as "a modern monument to the power of raw commerce" by a journalist. Ulitsa Ibraimova, Bishkek Panfilov Park "Bishkek's Green Lung" Created in 1924, Panfilov Park was initially referred to as Zvezda Park. It was in 1942 that this place was renamed to honor distinguished luminary Ivan Panfilov, who was the chairman of the Military Committee of the Kirghiz SSR. One of this large park distinguishable feature is its star shape. Also found within its premises are a Ferris Wheel and a zoopark by Francisco Anzola which houses a wide range of animals from Africa. Frunze Street, Bishkek State History Museum "The Preserver of Kyrgyz Culture" Found within the premises of Ala-Too Square, the State History Museum is a three-storied structure. On the ground floor, one can explore the museum's temporary exhibits. On the other two floors, the museum has on display a wide range of artifacts that narrate the history of Kyrgyzstan.

Besides this, the museum's walls are also adorned with a number of Soviet classic artworks, notable among which is Semyon Chuikov's 1948 painting 'Daughter of Soviet Kirghizia’. 196 Yusup Abdrahmanov Street, Bishkek Oak Park "Sweeping Sculpture Park" Located on Pushkin Street, this sprawling park is home to tall, centuries- old oak trees and nearly 90 sculptures. Together, this sculpture park of sorts creates a unique space in which to relax, unwind and explore. The oak trees were first planted by a Russian botanist in 1890, while the sculptures are remnants of a symposium that was held in 1984.

    1 Summary Summary!Edinburgh (will need University to introduce ourselves Torugart-Too here as there isExpedition no space for this 2010 in sec 2). 2 Introduction Report compiled by John Proctor 1 Summary The expedition was inspired by a report on Alpinist magazine’s online newswire1 about an expedition in 2007 to the Torugart-Too mountains in Kyrgyzstan, organised by the International School of Mountaineering and Pat Littlejohn. The article described the Torugart-Too mountains as an area of glaciated 5000m peaks 35km long on the border between Kyrgyzstan and China, and described the first ascent of the highest peak in the Torugart-Too mountains, Mustyr (5108m). Further research revealed that a total of 4 expeditions had visited the area, and that many possibilities remained for first ascents and new routes. The team members (John Proctor, Adam Russell and Robert Taylor) are all climbers associated with Edinburgh University Mountaineering Club with previous experience of Alpine climbing but no experience of climbing in the Greater Ranges. We visited the Torugart-Too mountains for 3 weeks in July/August 2010 and established 3 first ascents – Mur Samir (5008m), Pik Karyshkyr (4836m), and Pik False (4801m). 2 Introduction and background 2.1 The Torugart-Too mountains The Torugart-Too mountains is a 35km long range of glaciated 5000m peaks on the border between Kyrgyzstan and China, to the southwest of the western Kokshaal-Too.

  • Building with Shipping Containers: a Sustainable Approach to Solving Housing Shortage in Lagos Metropolis
    BUILDING WITH SHIPPING CONTAINERS: A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO SOLVING HOUSING SHORTAGE IN LAGOS METROPOLIS Enitan Oloto1 and Anthony K. Adebayo2 [email protected], [email protected] Department of Architecture, University of Lagos, Akoka, Nigeria. Abstract: The growth of the population in the metropolitan Lagos has assumed an alarming proportion, therefore the provision of urban infrastructure and housing to meet this demand is not at commensurate level, which has resulted in acute shortage of housing. The idea of using shipping containers as a building component and in architecture is by no means new in Lagos Metropolis. Most shipping container architecture conversions have however been for temporary accommodation needs, for example, storage, make-shift shops, emergency shelters and site offices. However, this concept of using shipping containers as modular building components in architecture and green prefab home building designs is still foreign to building practitioners and residents of Lagos state. The housing industry in Lagos Metropolis therefore needs to increase its building output, quality and speed of erection. There are plentiful stocks of ISO shipping containers at the Lagos port, and the use of these as building components offers faster construction time and guaranteed quality, especially where the fit out is pre-fabricated prior to installation of the unit. Also shipping containers are a widely available, low cost resource. The paper provides the assessment of the feasibility of using ISO shipping containers to provide solutions to housing shortage in Lagos Metropolis. It also sets out to provide a view of the viability of this medium, together with the problems that may occur in implementing their use.

  • Social-Movements-And-Conflict-In
    INTRAC Central Asia: social movements case studies Organising Railway Workers and Land Migrants: another side of civil society in the Kyrgyz Republic By Matthew Naumann and Burul Usmanalieva, 2008 Introduction Since the political events of early 2005, which culminated in the fleeing of President Askar Akaev and his subsequent replacement by Kurmanbek Bakiev, there has been an upsurge in direct action taken by informal groups within Kyrgyzstan’s society to promote the interests of their members. Many of these groups are not registered as non-governmental organizations and do not receive donor funding. However, they clearly fall within INTRAC’s working definition of civil society: ‘associations that exist outside of the state or market which maintain a degree of autonomy and independence and have the potential to provide alternative views, policies and actions to those promoted by the state and market.' This study takes an in-depth look into two such groups, both of which have largely succeeded in meeting their goals. The first of these is the “Union for the Protection of Railway Workers”,1 which registered as a trade union in 2004, and became involved in an acrimonious dispute with the management over recognition of their union and pay in 2005-2006. The second of these is an informal group, headed largely by women from rural areas, who occupied land of dubious ownership in Bishkek in April 2005, and then spent two years trying to legalise the houses they built on the site. Both groups were made up of ordinary citizens who started organising without any significant political connections.
