Great walk through night Astana
Each city changes at night. One becomes quiet and black-yellow, the other neon, the third at night only come to life. Astana is no exception. Like any large city, it changes at night. Running forward, I will say my opinion: the night city is more beautiful than the daytime, but there is only one minus. Sometimes Astana becomes dark.
Why is that? And what do I mean? Look in this big report!
Any night city strives to prove itself. Somewhere this is a beautiful highlight, somewhere bright colors, somewhere everything is built exclusively on financial opportunities.
Astana has no problems with finances. The city in the new reincarnation is quite young, the most important one. He has a maximum of money and, I do not exclude, now gets more Almaty, the former capital of the country.
We went to the city center on the last bus from our hotel. It was about 22 hours. Back we returned on foot around the third hour of the night.
Thanks to summer weather caught the end of twilight. The people on the street were much more than I expected.
We will start walking from the same area. as was the day's walk. This is the center, Nurdol Boulevard and surroundings. Now we are practically next to Baiterek.
In the summer of 2016, there was still repair and construction.
But most of the work was finished. And then a surprise! Even in Moscow there is no such thing! The border (if to be completely meticulous, this is the curb) begins on the left as a step between the upper and lower levels of the tile, and then the level of the tile is lowered and the border becomes an ordinary barrier between two tiles on one level. So my advice to all guests of the city: look under your feet.
Baiterek is highlighted with different colors. Very dignified and beautiful!
Nurjol is also beautiful! Greenery and lighting are very welcome. Remains of the sunset in the west.
As you remember, the city had a lot of modern art before Expo 2017. Night Kazakhs and visitors of the city were photographed with them only at night. During the day I did not see a single person.
Be sure to catch Baiterek in national colors.
Light is enough. Advertising is not so much and in the eyes does not rush.
Hotel buildings have a simple but pleasant backlight. But the roof in the Chinese style looks like a cheap neon. I do not know why.
But something in the foreground is dark.
No, the bulbs have not burned out and the lighting has not been turned off, it's just not there. Absolutely. And now such dark spots sometimes occur in the very center of the city. She walked, and then there was no light. I went further - again appeared.
Sometimes there are more lights from houses than from street lamps. For the capital it's a plus.
The streets are light, the transitions are highlighted. With this problem there is not even a center. And we lived at a distance from all activity.
In the blue-arm, you know-who.
For the frame, not in the best perspective, I almost had to defend a small queue! And you see the hands of two people who looked at me strangely and did not understand why I did not put my hand on the frame, as they do.
Let's go to Zhurzhol. In the record of the day's Astana, reviews of the architecture were fair. Yes, well, but it could have been much better. And then part of the buildings disappeared. There are very few lanterns.
At night, some locations with banal but popular arrows around the world are highlighted. hearts and other things.
There are a lot of people. Really a lot.
A very surprising number of people aged. Here the modern art was interested in the adult generation. Can an association with the past? What could it be?
Here is another incomprehensible black hole. The buildings are commissioned, operated, but not illuminated and do not even have light at the bottom.
Do good.
The last bike in the bike rental.
Very nice swing. Wide, for any weather, but with a single minus. Why are they on the aisle? Yet the Kazakh people are close to the Russian people and the Kazakh leadership to the Russian people.
Everything is fine with the fountains.
.
In Astana there is such a fashion: economy-lighting consists of several projectors aimed at the building. It seems to be nothing special, but better than neon stripes without taste.
The father is played - the child skates.
The machine for adults.
I never complained about the illumination of the mosque and will not.
And here is something very strange. It seems to be a media facade, which now broadcasts something incomprehensible. But what's he for? If on such a huge screen there will be ordinary advertising - horror!
And now we leave the center. Our path lies along Kabanbai Batyr Avenue.
All bright lights and zones of attraction remain behind.
Neon candle of KazMunayGaz. All fuel companies like to distinguish themselves.
For comparison, in the distance Khan Shatyr TC in the same color, but it looks quite different.
Saraishik Street leaves to the side. Its design reminds me of the economy-design option for the new year.
On the media screen behind the ads turned on!
In the building. reminiscent of Stalin's skyscrapers of Moscow. according to information from the network there is a residential part, and a hotel, and offices. And at night it looks so-so.
.
We move through a residential area with low-rise buildings. Since there is a large street. night decoration should be.
A friendly Kazakh waving his hand!
It seems to be not bad, but a bunch of signboards of different establishments do not need anything and spoil everything.
Opposites: the brightest spot is McDonald's!
The darkest spot is the circus.
You can not expect something special, but sometimes there are also pleasant moments.
Somewhere just a projection.
Again the usual lighting.
And now we come to the place. which I liked most. Karaotkel Bridge and views from it.
The car is caught)
The best and most beautiful night view of Astana!
Solid illumination. The four skyscrapers on the left are also colored with constantly changing illumination.
The bridge itself is good both in construction and in illumination.
Here you can hang for a long time.
Construction continued on the shore. In one of the buildings is now a hotel. I hope that the whole coast is also put in order.
Great!
Behind the bridge begins street Baraeva
Here people trampled a wide path. and decorations were put on her. So yourself, to be honest.
And behind it is a signboard from my school years. Ramstor! Once the only shopping center in my area.
On the other side is a sculpture of horses.
On one card is an art gallery. to another center of the arts. Two descriptions of this building.
Here we have already turned onto the Republic Avenue and headed towards our hotel.

How do you like Astana at night? Better daytime?
Stay tuned!
