Kazakhstan, officially known as the Republic of Kazakhstan, is a landlocked country primarily located in Central Asia, with a small portion in Europe. It shares borders with Russia to the north and west, China to the east, Kyrgyzstan to the southeast, Uzbekistan to the south, and Turkmenistan to the southwest. Additionally, it has a coastline along the Caspian Sea.
In the 14th century, the Kazakh State was established in Central Asia when different Turkic tribes joined forces. After a lengthy period under Soviet rule, Kazakhstan gained independence in 1991 and now plays a significant economic and strategic role among independent Turkic states. The country's economy depends on its underground wealth, holding over twenty percent of the world's reserves in gold, natural gas, oil, and uranium.
The population of Kazakhstan consists of Russians, Germans, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Uighurs, who settled in the region due to Soviet policies and now comprise more than half of the country's population. Kazakhstan shares its borders with Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan to the south, the People's Republic of China to the east, and the Russian Federation to the north and west. The presence of the Tian Shan Mountains along the eastern borders and the Ural Mountains along the northern border leads to extremely hot summers and extremely cold winters. The continental climate in the interior causes temperatures to drop to -20 degrees Celsius in winter and rise to 30 degrees Celsius in summer.
The capital, Astana, impresses with its new architectural structures, natural beauty, and ice cities sculpted by artists in the -30-degree cold during winter, attracting many visitors. The former capital, Almaty, stands out with its historical buildings and ski resorts. Other important cities in Kazakhstan include Shymkent and Karaganda.
Kazakhstan is known as a center for entertainment and festivals. Festivals can be encountered throughout the year, showcasing the unique Kazakh culture and traditional kopuz music. To preserve the culture, historical Turkmen camps are available in different cities, and historical days are celebrated joyfully. 
Kımız, a beverage made from mare's milk, is a gift to world culinary culture from Kazakhs. When visiting Kazakhstan, it is customary to drink kımız before meals like the Kazakhs and taste the delicious Kazakh dishes. You can try the famous meat dish konakaşı and, for those seeking unique flavors, the horse meat-based kazı dish.
