Lake Balkhash is a bit of a drive from everywhere but once you get there it is quite beautiful. Not your usual lake/beach vacation style place, lots of fishing going on here as that is a main industry of the area. Still friendly people, nice sandy beach, warm-ish water but murky just from silt, lots of people with rods catching dinner, good bit of infrastructure in the community and we had a fun day and night here.

As a square the place is peaceful, quiet and enjoyable to walk in. If you focus on those scary arms of protection and destruction, it can be scary. Better to come here without memories of wars and terrible sights that these weapons can conjure.

This one, being the one representing the beginning of Balkhash is quiet and cool, like the city it represents. I could not relate the shapes to a beginning, and there was no one around to ask for the symbolisms of it. An oveflookable structure, but a visit to Balkhash is incomplete if you do not get here.

A tranquil place, welll cared for in loving memory. The stepps here tell the story of the perils of war, on a place overlookkng the lake. Here aged men who must have survived the war come often to remember and to pay respects. While colourfully decorated the place instils respect and introspection, uniting history with the present. In this place you can feel the sad heartbeat of Balkhash.
