Description
Book Introduction
Kazakhstan was a place that felt familiar to us, yet somehow distant.
Despite the easy accessibility of direct flights from Incheon Airport, the lack of proper information, not to mention the common guidebooks, may have made people hesitate to travel to this area.
Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia, stretching from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Tian Shan Mountains in the east, and is particularly well known as a resource-rich country.
The door that was firmly closed before independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991 began to slowly open, and now we are maintaining friendly relations with our country in all areas, including politics, economy, education, and culture.
The capital is Astana, but the largest city and economic and cultural center is Almaty, the former capital.
Kazakhstan, currently the fastest-growing country in Central Asia, is a vast plain country with vast grasslands and deserts, but also boasts beautiful scenery at the foot of the Tian Shan Mountains in the southeast.
It is gaining attention as a new travel destination, offering opportunities to experience the traditional culture of those living here, follow the footsteps of the Silk Road on a historical journey, and explore historical and cultural sites that offer a glimpse into the lives of the Koryo people who settled here.
The surreal natural landscapes of the Mangystau region, bordering the Caspian Sea in western Kazakhstan, in particular, offer another attraction.
This natural environment, blessed with natural beauty, and introducing historical cities of the ancient Silk Road, will surely serve as an oasis for those seeking new travel destinations.

Publisher's Review
Korea's first Kazakhstan guidebook published!

It takes patience and effort to publish a book.
Let alone a travel guidebook for a region that is being introduced for the first time.
The author says that at no point during his numerous travels did he even consider the religiously heterogeneous culture of this place as a travel destination, but that choosing Almaty as a transit point on his trip to another country gave him the idea of ​​a new challenge.
As if it were a homework assignment that had been waiting for him for a long time, he prepared meticulously and meticulously as if it were his first trip in life, filled with a desire to know and share this unfamiliar place.
The author explains why Kazakhstan is a blue ocean as a new travel destination in an era where the number of annual overseas travelers reaches 30 million after the pandemic.

First, Asiana Airlines, Air Astana, and Eastar Jet operate the Incheon-Almaty route, with Air Astana operating three times a week on the Incheon-Astana route, and Scott Airlines operating to Shymkent, Kazakhstan's third largest city.
Not only is it easily accessible, with a flight time of approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes, but Koreans can also enter the country without a visa for 30 days, allowing them to depart at any time.
Secondly, the exotic natural landscapes and culture offer a variety of attractions.
Thirdly, due to the influence of K-Culture, the atmosphere is friendly towards Koreans and the security is good enough that you can see many children even at night.

Meet the unspoiled nature, the historical cities of the Silk Road, and the Koryo people.

Walking along the vast expanse of nature along the Tian Shan Mountains, you can fully experience it with your heart in just a few breaths.
We introduce countless unique mountain lakes and valleys, historical cities of the old Silk Road, and places where you can feel the deep-rooted spirit of the Koryo people.

With just one copy of “Travel Kazakhstan,” you can travel solo and independently!

Traveling independently to a non-English speaking country always makes people hesitate due to fear of the language barrier.
Moreover, Kazakhstan can be a difficult travel destination, as it uses its own language, so even though English is available, it ends up being a pie in the sky.
However, based on the author's diverse local experiences, it includes detailed information on major city attractions, transportation options, and map usage, so anyone can travel without difficulty.
