Tashkent is a quaint city in Central Asia that I would visit again.
When you come to Uzbekistan, you must visit their capital Tashkent~[Happy]
Whether you take the train to Samarkand or Bukhara, this is a very convenient transit point[Scowl]
Take Kazakhstan✈️ to arrive in Tashkent! After landing, the temperature is obviously higher than Almaty, very comfortable[Embarrassed]
Take a short break and prepare for the next day's city tour
Tips:
1️⃣Tashkent's subway culture is very good. The early Soviet-style subway architectural style is different at each station. You can buy a ticket to check in!
2️⃣It is recommended to prepare some change when calling a taxi app, as their denominations are relatively large!
3️⃣Compared with Almaty, people in Almaty are more refined and tend to be European, while people in Tashkent are more simple and tend to be Russian Xinjiang style. Although they stare at foreigners, they are very friendly! It is safe and OK!
4️⃣It is recommended to buy some special hand-painted plates to bring back, which are not available in China.
