Day 1: Lake Kaindy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take an old Soviet iron train for a bumpy half-hour ride. After getting off, you can choose to walk (20-30 minutes) or ride a horse (7k tenge) to the lake. Lake Kolsai: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is recommended to go boating (15k tenge for 4 people for 40 minutes). The café on the hillside has a great view. Day 2: Charyn Canyon: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The second largest canyon in the world, it's really stunning and perfect for taking photos. Only 3 hours are allocated for activities, including lunch time, which is very rushed. Be sure to arrange your time well. The 1.5km section above after returning from the canyon is also well worth seeing, so reserve time for it. Day 3: Big Almaty Lake: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Friends with regular hiking experience must visit Big Almaty Lake. It's really beautiful. It takes 2 hours to climb up the mountain along the pipeline, and 3-4 hours to go down the mountain via the main road. On the day we went, there was heavy rain and hail. We insisted on climbing to the top and got completely wet. Luckily, we stopped a car on the way down and found out that if you're lucky, you can get a ride up and down for 15k tenge per person. Opera and Ballet Theatre: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There aren't many people, and the ticket prices are cheap. You can check the schedules online in advance. We bought tickets for a string quartet performance on the spur of the moment for 3k tenge, and even got to take a photo with the artists in the end👍🏻! Day 4: Alatau National Park: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can reach it directly by bus. Take the cable car 🚡 up and down the mountain, with three sections in total. Even on weekends, it only costs 6.5k tenge to reach the top of the mountain at an altitude of 3200 meters. For the second section, be sure to take the open cable car on the right side when going up the mountain; the scenery is absolutely amazing. Koktobe: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A small hilltop in the urban area, offering a bird's-eye view of Almaty. The sunset is beautiful. Cable car 🚡: 5k tenge per person Minibus 🚌: 3.5k tenge per person Sunset roller coaster: 5k tenge for adults, 3k tenge for children. Day 5: City Walk Kazakhstan Museum: ⭐⭐⭐ It has exhibits and introductions related to history, culture, diplomacy, nature, and art. The museum is not large, and the ticket 🎟️ is 500 tenge. Subway stations: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are old Soviet-era subway stations dug very deep, with Russian-style designs, worth a visit. 120 tenge per person. Panfilov Park: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has the iconic 28 Heroes Statue and the Ascension Cathedral. The yellow exterior of the cathedral looks beautiful in the sun, the interior is resplendent with gold, and the stained glass windows are perfect for taking photos.
