THIS PLACE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
The residence holds many memories and secrets and only by popularizing it will further scientists and historians be able to unravel the mystery behind the building. It is a great and unique opportunity for people to learn about one of the best politicians and rulers Abylai Khan and his life
SPECIAL TIPS
Abylai Khan's residence is full of Kazakh culture: clothes, foods, dishes, history, etc. But the main idea is the years when the Kazakh nation lost its independence and power.
Read about Abylai Khan so as not to get completely lost in the new names and years, because even the history of just this person and the situation he found himself in is incredibly complicated, without even mentioning the whole years of our nation.
