Did you know that Kazakhstan has one of the largest canyons in the world and can be in the same position as The Grand Canyon located in the USA for its fascinating views? Or did you know that despite its name \u201cthe Caspian Sea\u201d, it is considered as the biggest lake in the world? If you are a nature lover, Kazakhstan is definitely a \u2018must go\u2019 item in your list!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kazakhstan nature\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-1-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_History\"><\/span>2. History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes people who have read the history of the world may not know some common facts about Kazakhstan and its historical influence on other countries. Here are some unique facts for you on Kazakhstan\u2019s history:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Indian race was originated from Aryan race who actually came from the Central Asia.<\/li>\n<li>The Great Wall of China was built to protect the country against raids and invasions of nomadic groups, namely, Huns who nowadays are Kazakh people.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBattle of Artlakh\u201d between the Arab Abbasid Caliphate along with their ally, the Tibetan Empire against the Chinese Tang dynasty has been in the valley of the Talas River which is located in Kazakhstan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After this situation all Kazakh people adhered to Islam and are Muslims.<br \/>\nHere, I have outlined only three historical facts. However, if you visit the country, you will surely get to know more!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Cuisine\"><\/span>3. Cuisine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of things that I like impressing my foreign friends is that Kazakh people eat horse and camel meat and drink mare and camel milk. Kazakh cuisine mainly consists of dough and a big amount of meat. At most times, spices are not added to the dishes except for salt and pepper, and it is very hard to find some spicy food. This kind of unique cuisine attracts a lot of travellers around the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-2.jpg\" alt=\"Kazakhstan cuisine\" width=\"750\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-2-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-2-400x233.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Culture_of_Hospitality\"><\/span>4. Culture of Hospitality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a student of the School of Hospitality and Tourism, I should mention that Kazakh people are very friendly and are always happy to welcome new guests to their homes. If you go to any Kazakh home, you will be treated with the best savouries and will be served with luxury cutlery and crockery that the house owners keep only for special guests. English is not an official language of the country and not spoken by the residents. However, if a foreigner asks a random Kazakh person in the street for assistance, he or she will try their best to assist you. Even though they don\u2019t know your language, they will find ways to help you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-3.jpg\" alt=\"Kazakhstan culture\" width=\"750\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-3-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Climate\"><\/span>5. Climate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In one research it was found that Kazakh people are one of the nationalities that can work in any part of the world due to the country\u2019s differentiated climate. In Kazakhstan, you can see all four seasons: Golden autumn, snowy winter, blossoming spring and sunny summer. In summer the temperature in some parts of the land can reach up to +40C or even +45C while in winter it cools down till -40C or -45C.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1569 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/five-reasons-to-visit-kazakhstan\/kazakhstan-4\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-4-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/five-reasons-to-visit-kazakhstan\/kazakhstan-7\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-7-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-7-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/five-reasons-to-visit-kazakhstan\/kazakhstan-5\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-5-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/five-reasons-to-visit-kazakhstan\/kazakhstan-6\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-6-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mdis.edu.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Kazakhstan-6-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Hope you have found all of this fascinating and you are inspired to make a visit!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Article contributed <\/em>by:<em>\u00a0 Yelnur Alyakbarova<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a student from Kazakhstan, I realised that not many nationalities really know about my country, and to my great surprise some even don\u2019t know about existence of it!
