Bishkek, City Walk - Kyrgyzstan 4K Travel Channel
We start our city walk in Bishkek at the city hall in Chuy Avenue. Chuy Avenue is the important cross connection from west to east in Bishkek. The blue gable of the town hall brings invigorating color to the cityscape. To the right is the National Bank. Opposite at the end of the alley is a building of the university. On the right side of a long parkway is the Philarmonic Hall, Toktogul Satylganov. In front of it is a monument of Manas, the Kyrgyz national hero. His stretched arm with the sword as an extension serves the birds as a preferred resting place.
The view back along Chuy Ave shows another building of the University, opposite the National Bank.
In the video, we make a virtual jump one kilometer to the east and are now in front of the White House, the parliament of Kyrgyzstan. The total number of representatives is 129. But, a regulation limits the number of representatives per party to 85. Thus a single party cannot become omnipotent. Despite all efforts to ensure the equal rights of the women, the women are under-represented in the parliament.
To the east of Parliament, the Stela of Nations Friendship stretches towards heaven.
We now reach the center of Bishkek with Ala-Too Square, which is bordered to the north by the National Historical Museum. On the open space in front of it is another monument to the national hero Manas, erected by German prisoners of war, most of whom did not survive. Here is also an impressive flagpole with the flag of Kyrgyzstan. At the roadside of Chuy Avenue, one set up flags and podiums for the upcoming Independence Day.
On the opposite side of Chuy Ave are two huge building blocks surrounded by tent city-like arcades. They house restaurants, shops, and banks. A similar building in the middle with a golden dome on the roof, a bit in the background, houses the Ministry of Agriculture. In front of it stands a monument of the most important Kyrgyz writer and politician Chingiz Aitmatov, whom we got to know already in Cholpon Ata.
The building to the east, the Ministry of Culture and Information, is built in the original architecture of the pre-Soviet era. In eastern direction follows a picture gallery.

Wir beginnen unseren Stadtspaziergang in Bischkek beim Rathaus in der Chui Avenue. Die Chui Avenue ist die wichtigste Querverbindung von West nach Ost in Bischkek.
Der blaue Dachgiebel des Rathauses bringt eine erfrischende Farbe in das Stadtbild. Rechts daneben ist die Nationalbank untergebracht. Gegenüber ist am Ende einer langen Alle ein Gebäude der Universität erkennbar. Rechts von der Allee steht die Philharmonie (Philarmonic Hall Named Toktogul Satylganov). Davor befindet sich ein gewaltiges Denkmal von Manas, dem Kirgisischen Nationalhelden. Sein ausgestreckter Arm mit dem Schwert als Verlängerung dient den Vögeln als bevorzugter Rastplatz.
Der Blick zurück entlang der Chui Avenue zeigt ein weiteres Gebäude der Universität, gegenüber der Nationalbank.
Wir machen im Video nun einen virtuellen Sprung um einen Kilometer nach Osten und befinden uns nun vor dem Weißen Haus, dem Parlament von Kirgisistan. Die Zahl der Abgeordneten beträgt 129. Eine interessante Regelung ist aber, dass die Zahl der Abgeordneten pro Partei auf 85 beschränkt ist. Somit kann eine einzelne Partei nicht allmächtig werden. Allerdings sind trotz aller Bemühungen zur Gleichberechtigung der Frauen die Frauen im Parlament unterrepräsentiert.
Östlich des Parlaments streckt sich die Stele für die Freundschaft der Völker gen Himmel.
Wir erreichen jetzt das Zentrum von Bischkek mit dem Ala Too Platz, der im Norden durch das National Historische Museum begrenzt wird. Auf der Freifläche davor befindet sich ein weiteres Denkmal des Nationalhelden Manas, das von deutschen Kriegsgefangenen errichtet wurde, von denen die meisten nicht überlebten. Außerdem steht hier eine beeindruckende Fahne Kirgisistans. Am Straßenrand zur Chuy Ave werden gerade Flaggen und Podien für den bevorstehenden Unabhängigkeitstag aufgestellt.
Auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite der Chuy Ave befinden sich zwei riesige Gebäudeblöcke, die von Zeltstadt - artigen Arkaden umgeben sind. In ihnen sind Restaurants, Geschäfte und Banken untergebracht. Ein ähnliches Gebäude in der Mitte, aber etwas in den Hintergrund versetzt, mit einer goldenen Kuppel auf dem Dach beherbergt das Landwirtschaftsministerium. Davor steht ein Denkmal des bedeutendsten Kirgisischen Schriftstellers und Politikers Chingiz Aitmatov, den wir bereits in Cholpon Ata kennengelernt haben.
In östlicher Richtung schließt ein Gebäude in der original Architektur der pre-sowjetischen Ära an. Es ist das Ministerium für Kultur und Information. Noch einmal östlich ist eine Bildergalerie.

[Kyrgyzstan] Ala-Too Square | Площадь Ала-Тоо | 알라투광장 @ Chuy Ave, Bishkek | 비쉬켁
키르기즈스탄의 수도 비쉬켁의 중앙광장 The central square in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 구 소비에트 시절에 건립되어 있던 레닌동상은 국립박물관 뒷편 (이 광장의 북쪽 작은 광장) 으로 2003년에 이전되었다. 대신 '자유'를 상징하는 동상이 건립되었다가 이것 역시 광장 서쪽으로 이전하고, 2008년에는 키르기즈의 전설적 영웅 마나스의 동상이 수립되어 있다. The statue of Lenin established by former Soviet union government was moved in 2003 to a smaller north square in the city, and a new statue called Erkindik (Freedom) was installed in its place. And then in 2008 the new Manas Statue was established in here.
While looking south, you can see the statue of Chingiz Aitmatov (1928-2008), the best known figure in Kyrgyzstan's contemporary literature history.
KYRGYZSTAN BISHKEK - OAK PARK

Oak Park, Bishkek
Oak Park is one of Bishkek’s oldest parks, and is home to an open air sculpture exhibition, as well as several important monuments and buildings. Even though the park was officially renamed in honor of Chingiz Aitmatov in 2010, it is still mostly known as Oak Park.
Many of the oaks are as old as the city itself. The first trees were planted by Alexei Fetisov in 1890, a botanist from Russia. These trees have grown to be very large, and in the summer provide shade from the hot sun, and in the fall provide plenty of crispy falling leaves. Tucked into one corner is the Red Guards Memorial, for those who died defeating an uprising in 1918, as well as the Russian Drama Theater. St Nicholas Church is also here, which held the original art museum.

Dotted around Oak Park are various sculptures. These date back to 1984, when the All-Union Sculptors Symposium was held in Frunze. Sculptors came from around the Soviet Union to display their works, created with the theme “Work and Peace” at the symposium, which was held in honor of the 60th anniversary of the creation of the Kirghiz Autonomous Oblast. When the symposium ended, the sculptures remained, and even more sculptures have been added over the years. The most recent addition was a statue of Kurmajan Dakta, added in 2004.

There are now 90 sculptures that are part of the open air museum in Oak Park. Since the park is out in the open, the way the sculptures look changes with the time of day, season, and weather, which makes the park a place to visit again and again.
