Everything about Bayterek totally explained
Bayterek (
Kazakh: Бəйтерек), from the
Kazakh for "tall
poplar tree", is a new monument in
Astana, the capital of
Kazakhstan.
"Bayterek" has become a popular tourist attaction with visitors and native Kazakhstanis alike, symbolizing the new status of the young capital of
Kazakhstan,
Astana. The top of the complex structure is a gilt sphere crowning a mythological tree of 97 meters.
The philosophy of "Bayterek" is that it embodies a legend about a magic bird of happiness. The bird, named Samruk, laid its egg in the crevice between two branches of a poplar tree. Bayterek translates into Kazakh as "a tall poplar".
From its height it's possible to see much of the newly built city. One point of interest is an imprint of the palm of the President of the country,
Nursultan Nazarbaev. It bears a plaque wishing visitors to place their own hand in his imprint and to make a wish.
