Semirechye, like no other region of Kazakhstan, is rich in cultural and historical heritage. It is fair to note that visiting the region will allow you to get acquainted with the culture of the country and its rich history.
Settlements are of special value for the region. Not so long ago, UNESCO took under its protection three settlements located on the territory of Zhetysu. Namely: Kayalik, Karamergen and Talkhiz. This is due to the fact that ancient monuments need protection from the adverse effects of time and weather. It seems that this will help preserve the settlements for posterity.1. Kayalik settlement was the center of trade activity in ancient times. It was often visited by merchants from abroad. It sold exclusive goods for the rich and well-to-do citizens. Archaeologists have found a Hammam, the ruins of religious buildings. It is worth noting that it is included in the objects of the silk road;
2. Karamergen settlement, here in the valley of the Ili river, there is a lot of evidence that speaks about the features of life in ancient times. Archaeologists have found utensils, combs, arrows;
3. The talkhiz settlement has been preserved and can be visited today. There was an active trade, agriculture and craft flourished. This is evidenced by the remains of the settlement and objects found by archaeologists.
