A roadside stop on the drive between Saty and Almaty, the kind of town that exists to serve the road rather than the other way around. Worth knowing what's there.
Sights & Culture
Park memorial
A memorial in the small park near the town centre.
Shopping
Жетiсу Сауда Supermarket
A decent sized supermarket, good for stocking up for the road. We stocked up for lunch on the move. Pasties, crisps, Oreos. Not every meal on the Silk Road is a revelation.
Market
A small market running mostly to fruit and vegetables. Fresh produce if you need it, nothing more ambitious than that.
