I went to Almaty this summer. The plane had to fly over the Tianshan Mountains. In fact, the Tianshan Mountains have been extending throughout Kazakhstan. When traveling in Almaty, Qiongbulak is a magnificent attraction that must be visited! Otherwise, it is a waste of time! Qiongbulak area is extremely magnificent! You can experience four seasons in one day, and the weather is different every ten miles! You can always encounter the strange phenomenon of sunrise in the east and rain in the west... You can take the aerial cable car directly to the foot of the glacier at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters. Qiongbulak Ski Resort is definitely an ideal ski resort with good climatic conditions, an average temperature of 20℃ in summer and 7℃ in winter, a snow depth of up to 150 cm, and more than 300 days of sunny days a year. It provides a variety of services and facilities, including cable car services, hotel accommodation and many restaurants and cafes. In summer, you can also take a cable car tour, hike, and challenge paragliding, etc. Therefore, to explore the natural wonders of Almaty, Kazakhstan, Qiongbulak Snow Mountain Cable Car is definitely an adventure you cannot miss!

Almaty [Ascension Cathedral] Voznesensk Kashendraliy Shrirkevyi An Orthodox cathedral in Almaty. Standing 56 meters tall, it is the second tallest wooden cathedral in the world, and not a single nail was used in the entire building. The cathedral's cornerstone was laid on September 26, 1903, and it opened in 1907. During the Soviet era, it served as a museum, and its bell tower was used as a radio transmission tower. In 1911, a magnitude 8.4 earthquake struck Almaty, destroying most of the city's buildings. However, the Ascension Cathedral has remained virtually intact to this day. Restoration work was carried out in 1973. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, religious services were resumed after a 69-year hiatus. It was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in May 1995 and reopened in 1997. In 2004, it received the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award for Outstanding Project for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage. Address: Gogol St 40, Almaty Hours: 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Admission: Free

1. The Magic of Synesthesia in Details Comparing raindrops on metal branches to "silver ornaments in the hair of a grassland girl" imbues the cold architecture with a sense of ethnic warmth, while the luster of the "silver ornaments" echoes the crystalline raindrops, instantly bringing the image to life through the connection between sight and touch. Similarly, describing "golden balls as beeswax veiled in a thin layer" softens the coldness of the rainy day with the warmth of "beeswax," giving the rigid architecture a soft texture. 2. A Sense of Atmosphere Through Movement and Stillness The author doesn't just describe the "tower," but uses dynamic details such as "the sound of footsteps mingling with the rain," "the tower's swaying shadow in puddles," and "bent flower branches" to create an interaction between the static architecture and the rainy environment. Reading this, one can almost hear the rain and see the ripples, as if standing there in the moment. 3. A Soft Landing of Emotions From "flashy landmarks" to "elders murmuring in the rain," the architecture's character is perfectly combined with the mood of a rainy day, ultimately culminating in "the breath of the grassland permeating steel and iron bones." This transforms the "Tree of Life" from a mere symbol into a vital force connected to nature and the land, turning the "wetness" in the text into a tender empathy.

The Big Almaty Lake gives us different feelings in different seasons. In autumn, the Big Almaty Lake has more water, and in summer, it has less water because a lot of it is discharged to the city for water supply. In autumn, the melting of ice and snow fills the Big Almaty Lake again.

There are many kinds of animals, and the park is quite large. We walked around for an hour and a half and still couldn't finish it. The baby was tired and went back. It can't be compared with the domestic wildlife parks with ticket prices of more than 200 yuan, but the ticket price of 800 tenge is about 12.3 yuan in RMB. What else can you buy a bicycle at this price? It's worth it if you bring your baby!
