Two Capitals in Parallel: Bishkek and Ulaanbaatar

At first glance, Bishkek bears a striking resemblance to the midtown area of Ulaanbaatar. Its broad streets and numerous urban parks invite leisurely strolls, creating a familiar urban ambiance. Notably, the city's infrastructure was masterfully executed by German planners, earning its reputation as the most meticulously designed city during the Soviet era.

Bishkek's verdant parks owe their lushness to a meticulously crafted irrigation system, which courses through the city's main thoroughfares. The cityscape is graced with a profusion of street trees and urban parks, a testament to the irrigation system drawing from the abundant waters of the Semenov-Tian-Shansky Peak in the Ala-tuu Range.
