Осеннее воскресенье на берегу реки Или Autumn Sunday on the banks of the Ili River

Rating 10110

A week from Almaty there is a wonderful place for visiting residents of Kazakhstan and tourists. This is not only a natural and historical phenomenon, but also the cultural heritage of our republic. We always visit the banks of the Ili River in March and October, because the steppe is no longer as hot as in summer. This place is located about 70-80 km from the city, depending on which coast to stay. These places are loved by fishermen and just tourists. Once upon a time, for the filming of the film "Nomads", a castle was built here - a decoration in the style of a medieval eastern fortification. They began to call it Nomad Castle,
Everyone loved it so much that it began to be used in further filming of clips, films, and at other times as an open-air museum. Once we visited him when there was no filming and we carefully examined everything. And this time we accidentally got to the shooting of the film "Kazakh Khanate". It was very entertaining to see the process of making a movie.
Among other things, we had time to relax on the banks of the river and had a picnic, and also enjoyed the view of the flora and fauna of the autumn steppe. We saw herds of horses, camels resting, and an otter (maybe a nutria) swam in the river. The weather was warm, even hot, the steppe burned out. On the opposite bank you can see another wonderful place. These are rocks with drawings - petroglyphs - it is called Tamgaly Tas.
