About Bishkek
Bishkek's wide boulevards and Ala-Archa mountains create a green, walkable capital surrounded by Tian Shan peaks. Oak Park (Mangit) provides shade; the bazaar pulses with Central Asian commerce. The city remains unpretentious and authentically laid-back compared to more polished neighbours.
