My home town. I was born and grew up in beautiful place, Almaty. This is the very big city in the south-east of the country. Almaty was built by the Russian Army in 1854. The name "Almaty" translate like "apple-tree", because before in the city grew up apple and weight of each apple was about 1 kg. More than three thousand years people live in the territory of Almaty. Archaeologists found many ancient objects and the most famous discovery this is The Golden Man. This is the skeleton of a man or woman 18 years,he belonged to the royal family and this man lived in the 7th century BC. The skeleton was dressed in a gold dress. In my city live over 1.5 million people of different nationalities and religions. Before Almaty was capital city, now it's Astana. Still Almaty is center of economy and culture. In the city's many parks, lakes, rivers.The city is surrounded by high mountains. In the mountains are many waterfalls, glacial lakes, forests. High up in the mountains there is an outdoor ice rink, an observatory, a ski resort. In the mountains live animals and grow plants, many of which are recorded in the Red Book. I miss my city and always look forward to seeing him....
