落日拾梦旅人:“#Creative Incentive Plan Divide 10,000 Yuan Cash Aktau, Kazakhstan, a city located on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, is like an isolated pearl, exuding a unique charm. If you are longing for a trip away from the hustle and bustle and exploring foreign lands, then Aktau is definitely your best choice! 📅Best travel time and climate Aktau has a cold desert climate, with hot and dry summers and cold winters. The best time to travel is April-June and September-October. From April to June, the grassland flowers bloom, the temperature is 15℃-25℃, which is very comfortable, and you can also enjoy a clear starry sky; from September to October, there is a different kind of bleak beauty, and the temperature is 5℃-15℃. 🏞️Must-visit attractions 1. Ustyurt National Park: There are spectacular geological landscapes here, and the colorful rock formations seem to be a palette overturned by nature. You can also find paleontological fossils and feel the weight of history. The best way to get there is to join a group tour. The journey is long, but the scenery along the way will definitely make you feel that the trip is worthwhile. 2. Malaya Arkhitekturnaya Forma "Ostrov": A great place to enjoy the sunset over the Caspian Sea🌅 When the sun sets, the entire sea surface is dyed orange-red and sparkling. There are also giant Aktau letters and whale statues on the beach, which are very suitable for taking pictures. Here you can also experience the fun of horseback riding and feel the caress of the sea breeze. 3. Eternal Flame (Eternal Flame World War I Memorial): A very distinctive monument, surrounded by many houses with distinctive graffiti. From here to the beach is a park, and the sculptures along the way are also full of artistic sense. It is very suitable for strolling and feeling the local cultural atmosphere. 🍱Special food 1. Freshly grilled Caspian sturgeon: When you come to the Caspian Sea, how can you not try fresh Caspian sturgeon? The fish is tender and juicy, and the skin is golden and crispy after grilling. With a unique sauce, a bite of it will spread the full taste of the ocean on the tip of your tongue. 2. Black bread with borscht: Black bread has a solid texture and rich wheat aroma. Paired with sweet and sour borscht, it is both filling and appetizing, and is a very popular combination in the local area. 3. Traditional Kazakh barbecue: Various meats are grilled over charcoal, and the aroma is overflowing. Sprinkled with local spices, take a bite, the aroma of meat and spices blend perfectly, making people unable to stop. 🚗 Transportation Guide You can transfer from Urumqi or Almaty to Aktau. After arriving in Aktau, you can choose to take a taxi in the city, and the price is relatively reasonable; if you want to go to a distant attraction, it is a better choice to join a group or rent a car. 📌 Travel Notes 1. Some areas of Aktau are protected areas, and some streets and buildings are only numbered. When traveling, it is best to plan the route in advance and mark the number of the destination. 2. When playing in the national park, follow the arrangements of the tour guide and do not leave the designated route at will to avoid danger. 3. Respect local cultural customs and dress appropriately when visiting religious sites. 4. The exchange rate in Aktau may not be very favorable. You can exchange some local currency, Tenge, in advance in China or other major cities.”
