zinnia_615:“Bibi-Khanym Mosque is an important historical site in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Don’t miss it. The entrance fee is 40,000sum. Opposite is the Tomb of Bibi Khanum (Picture 11)
Historical background:
-This mosque was built on the order of Timur, ca.
1399 to 1405. After Timur returned victoriously from his campaign in India, he decided to build a grand Qingqi Temple in his capital, Samarkand, to show the majesty and glory of the empire. Its name "Bibi Khanum" is the name of Timur's wife. Legend has it that Timur used this to commemorate his Chinese wife. However, the "China" here does not refer to the dynasty, but the east of Timur's empire, which is actually the Mongolian region. Timur's wife is a Turkic Mongolian and the princess of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
Xin building scale and structure:
- Magnificent size: The Bibi Khanum Mosque is one of the largest mosques in Central Asia, with a 38-meter-high porch and a 41-meter main dome. It was also a huge building in the Islamic world at that time, able to accommodate about 10,000 people. Pilgrims.”

舍讷费尔德柳如是:“It's so beautiful! I didn't feel like I was visiting a cemetery at all! It was like a beautiful park! The ticket was not expensive. The first few dozen steps were a bit high because it was hot, so it was a bit tiring to climb up. But once I got to the arch, it was super comfortable. It was cool and I didn't want to leave after sitting there.”

Opening hours: 09:00-18:00
天然卷不是天然呆:“Although the exhibits are not as rich as those in domestic museums, some of them are very cute. The most important thing is the four-sided murals from the seventh century in the central exhibition hall. There is a small room next door that breaks down the various parts of the murals for explanation, which is a great way to display.
What's even better is that you can go in and stroll around the ancient ruins area at the back, and locals also date, run, picnic and herd sheep there🐑. The scenery is very good, and it feels like life is a wilderness!”

超能逛的Attlee:“A mosque with local characteristics, the building is very beautiful, for people who have never seen such a building, it can be said to be full of visual shock.

PKU小雅:“Timur Square · Tashkent
Stand in the "Heart of Central Asia" and feel the glory of the Timurid Empire. Uzbekistan's modernity and history meet here. It is recommended to stay in a hotel nearby - the environment here is excellent, it feels very safe, and the evening lights and night markets are also good.
Tashkent is located at the exit of the Fergana Basin. Historically, it was an important transit point for the Silk Road from China to Samarkand and Persia. Today, it is still a hub for the Central Asian railway/road network.
Uzbekistan is the only country among the five Central Asian countries that borders all the other four countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan). The capital Tashkent is almost located at the geometric center of the region, and Timur Square is the center of Tashkent.
The core of Timur Square is the statue of Timur. The empire he established was based in Samarkand, but its rule covered the entire Central Asia. It was regarded as the strongest empire in Central Asia (14th-15th century).
Tashkent was once the fourth largest city in the Soviet Union (after Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev). As the headquarters of the "Central Asian Military District", it actually assumed the function of the political and economic center of the Soviet Central Asian plate.
Tashkent's residents include Uzbeks, Russians, Tajiks, Kazakhs and other ethnic groups. It is the only large city in Central Asia with Orthodox churches, synagogues and mosques coexisting.
Institutions such as Tashkent State University and Central Asian University established during the Soviet era are still regional academic highlands, attracting international students from various countries.
Uzbekistan's official tourism promotion often uses "Heart of Central Asia" as a slogan. A similar statement is engraved on the base of the Timur statue in Timur Square, which feels like the country's appeal for regional leadership.”

Business hours TBA
Invisible Wind:“The National Museum of the History of Uzbekistan is a model of the combination of Soviet futuristic architecture and local ethnic characteristics. Its shape is an asymmetrical cube, symbolizing "permanence"; the facade is decorated with a panzara grid, and the building alone is worth a visit.
The museum is one of the largest museums in Central Asia. It exhibits rich collections and the latest historical documents and archives in various fields such as archaeology, ancient numismatics, and ethnology in Central Asia, reflecting the overview of various historical periods in Uzbekistan. Exhibits include stone talismans from the 2nd millennium BC unearthed in the Fergana Basin, bronze pots from the 5th-6th centuries BC, pottery from the 4th-5th centuries BC unearthed in Bukhara, and coins and weapons from the 14th-15th centuries Timur and later. The museum also displays the achievements made in various fields such as industry, agriculture, education, culture, art, and diplomacy after Uzbekistan's independence.”
