Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Attractions in Tashkent are a bit far apart, so it's best to take the subway and taxis.
1️⃣ Ascension Cathedral: One of the oldest churches in Tashkent, this complex was built in a classical style and looks like a Russian church.
2️⃣ Tamerlane Square: The center of Tashkent, the city radiates out from here. The statue of Tamerlane in the center of the square is the most majestic of the three Tamerlane statues in Uzbekistan.
3️⃣ National Museum: Known as the largest museum in Central Asia, it has three floors.
4️⃣ Central Asian Pilaf Center: You can arrange to have a meal here. The 3-meter diameter pot is quite impressive. It is said that it can stew 3 tons of pilaf at a time, enough for 1,200 people to eat at the same time.
5️⃣ White Mosque: Built in 2013. It is made of pure white marble and built in a traditional Uzbek style, with two minarets and a sky-blue dome.
6️⃣ Hazrat Imam Complex: The religious center of Uzbekistan.
7️⃣ Chorsu Bazaar: The largest market in Uzbekistan, it has a beautiful large dome and is more down-to-earth than the Green Bazaar in Almaty.
8️⃣ Alisher Navoi Opera and Ballet Theatre: The designer of this theater also designed the Moscow headquarters building. The fountain and European-style architecture give it an elegant and romantic feel.
