Timur Square · Tashkent Stand in the "Heart of Central Asia" and feel the glory of the Timurid Empire. Uzbekistan's modernity and history meet here. It is recommended to stay in a hotel nearby - the environment here is excellent, it feels very safe, and the evening lights and night markets are also good. Tashkent is located at the exit of the Fergana Basin. Historically, it was an important transit point for the Silk Road from China to Samarkand and Persia. Today, it is still a hub for the Central Asian railway/road network. Uzbekistan is the only country among the five Central Asian countries that borders all the other four countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan). The capital Tashkent is almost located at the geometric center of the region, and Timur Square is the center of Tashkent. The core of Timur Square is the statue of Timur. The empire he established was based in Samarkand, but its rule covered the entire Central Asia. It was regarded as the strongest empire in Central Asia (14th-15th century). Tashkent was once the fourth largest city in the Soviet Union (after Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev). As the headquarters of the "Central Asian Military District", it actually assumed the function of the political and economic center of the Soviet Central Asian plate. Tashkent's residents include Uzbeks, Russians, Tajiks, Kazakhs and other ethnic groups. It is the only large city in Central Asia with Orthodox churches, synagogues and mosques coexisting. Institutions such as Tashkent State University and Central Asian University established during the Soviet era are still regional academic highlands, attracting international students from various countries. Uzbekistan's official tourism promotion often uses "Heart of Central Asia" as a slogan. A similar statement is engraved on the base of the Timur statue in Timur Square, which feels like the country's appeal for regional leadership.
