City Description
CloseTashkent, the center of the Silk Road
Tashkent, the capital of Central Asia and the capital of Uzbekistan, was once the center of the Silk Road that connected the east and west. It has a population of about 2.13 million people. Its area is about half the size of Seoul. Tashkent is an oasis city formed by the Chirchiq River, a tributary from the Tian Shan mountains.
Tashkent is now a political, economic, social, and cultural center in Uzbekistan and is transforming into an international city as a transportation hub for railways, roads, and airports. Looking over Tashkent from the Tashkent TV Tower, the entire city is covered with forests and beautiful trees are planted along the streets, making the city look like a big park. Like KOrea, its seasons have distinct weather. The temperature rises over 40 degrees in the summer when it has a dry, desert climate, but is cool in shady areas like under the roadside trees. The average altitude is 480 meters above sea level.
