|Travel guide to Namangan, a state of light industry! . Namangan is a city in eastern Uzbekistan. It is located in the northern part of the Fergana Valley and 430 kilometers southeast of Tashkent. The word "Namangan" comes from the Persian "Namak Kann" - "salt mine". The history of Namangan can be traced back to the 17th century. At that time, in the northern part of the Fergana Valley, there appeared a settlement where local ore salt miners (naman kann) gathered. In the early twentieth century, Namangan was the second most populous city and cotton processing center in the Fergana Valley. It is the third largest city in the country, second only to Tashkent and Samarkand. Let's experience the charm of Namangan Province today~ 🌈Aksikent Ancient City Aksikent Ancient City is an ancient city site located in the Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan. It is a fortified city on the banks of the Syr Darya River. The oldest parts of Ahshiqat date back to the 3rd century BC, and it reached its peak size and importance during the 9th-12th centuries AD. Later, the city played a key role in the life of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire. Today Aksykent is a real golden valley paradise, which has preserved the historical national heritage with impressive significance. The entire settlement is considered an open-air museum, and the treasures of the valley preserve valuable resources for studying the past. 🌈Chadak Village and "Crying Rock" About 50 kilometers west of Namangan there is an ancient Chadak Village. It is located in the valley of the Chadaksay river. The village is more than 4,000 years old and was first inhabited by humans during the Mesolithic period, about 15,000 years ago, a fact attested by stone carvings and cave paintings. Despite its age, the village has managed to retain the original traditional look of a Central Asian village. There are beautiful views from the top of the canyon, and any time of year is perfect - bright green in the summer and spring, and sparkling golden yellow in the winter and fall. 🌈Namangan Babur Park Namangan is known as the city of flowers and is an important flower planting base in Uzbekistan. The traditional Namangan International Flower Festival is held from the end of May to the beginning of June every year, and it is often held in this park. The flower show transforms the streets of Namangan and Babur Park into a vibrant canvas adorned with a kaleidoscope of colours. The carefully curated exhibitions showcased the finest and rarest plant species from around the world, providing a visual feast for attendees. From delicate flowers to elusive species, every corner of the festival beckons explorers. 🌈Legend Valley This theme park covers an area of ​​600,000 square meters and has an amusement park, bowling alley, fitness club, fairy tale town, ice palace, small gymnasium, shopping mall and library, etc. There is also a mosque that can accommodate 15,000 people, a shopping mall, a modern hotel and villas.

Alaxan Lake is located on the high mountain Angren Plateau at the border of Tashkent and Namangan regions of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. The difficult road to the lake begins on the Tashkent-Kokand highway from the village of Ertash, and is full of steep, sharp twists and turns, shoals across the river, and stone towers. Even by off-road vehicle, it takes about several hours to get here from Namangan. The landscape of the plateau is very similar to a jailoo in Kyrgyzstan. There are still tens of thousands of sheep grazing here, and herders' yurts are scattered everywhere.
