beautiful Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country in Central Asia. It is located along the Great Silk Road, an ancient trade route between China and the Mediterranean. The Tien Shan mountains, which surround this caravan route and occupy most of the country, are inhabited by snow leopards, lynxes and sheep. In the south of the country there is the city of Osh, which has a history of more than a thousand years. It is famous for its huge bazaar, where merchants who followed the Great Silk Road once stayed.
