One of the largest and fastest developing countries in Asia is Kazakhstan, whose capital, Astana, has become one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
The history of this city dates back to 1830. It was then that a fortress was built on the banks of the Ishim River, which eventually turned into a city. Colonel Fyodor Kuzmich Shubin is considered to be its founder. The city was named Akmolinsk, which it bore until 1961. At this time, the struggle for the development of virgin lands began, and Akmolinsk became the center of this sowing "battle". The Soviet government renamed it Tselinograd, and Kazakhstan, whose capital at that time was in Alma-Ata, acquired another large city, where the leadership of the republic and the Soviet Union invested heavily. In 1992, the name of the city underwent another change: now it was called Akmola.
The city was the second largest and most important in Kazakhstan until 1998. The President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, in June 1998, by his decree, renamed Akmola to Astana and transferred all state and financial facilities from Alma-Ata to Astana, making this city the capital of the state.
Republic of Kazakhstan, capital Astana - that's how it now sounds in the world. The result of this transfer was the active development of urban infrastructure, commercial and cultural facilities. The capital began to grow rapidly, turning from a provincial town into a beautiful metropolis with magnificent architectural forms, in which European and Oriental styles are closely intertwined. To build a new Eurasian city, the President of Kazakhstan invited the world's leading architects, who created a fairy tale city.
The beautiful capital of Kazakhstan Astana, whose sights are known all over the world. A unique object is Water-Green Boulevard. This avenue, or rather, a pedestrian bridge, was built on three levels. On the first level there is parking for cars, which is especially important in big cities, the second is reserved for shops, boutiques and passages of well-known firms and companies. On the third floor there is a beautiful green street with all kinds of fountains, perfectly manicured lawns and flower beds.
Ak-Orda, the building that houses the residence of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the capital of Astana), admires its monumentality.
Under one roof there is a dolphinarium, an oceanarium, a water park, a children's entertainment complex and many shopping establishments in the huge Khan-Shatyr shopping and entertainment center, which is always full of visitors - both residents of the capital and guests of the Kazakh capital.

The new capital of Kazakhstan is developing at an active pace, and the architects have many more interesting ideas in their plans. The people of Kazakhstan have always been distinguished by hospitality and warmly welcome all guests of their capital.
