My native town
I live in Tashkent and it’s my native town. It’s the capital of independent Uzbekistan. Tashkent, which has new parks, squares and high buildings has become the most modern city in Uzbekistan. City is developing as never before.
Tashkent is a beautiful city and it’s great for walking around. There are lots of narrow streets, theatres, museums and squares. There is Independence square, where there are lots of bars and restaurants. People go there at weekends to sit in the sun, eat ice creams, drink coffee and watch the nature.
Most visitors are attracted by the city’s history and monuments. There are several statues and historical buildings such as Kukaldosh madarasah and the Barakhan mosque which were built in 16-th century. Almost all guests of Tashkent with pleasure visit to Amir Temur museum. It gives them useful information about Amir Temur’s life and his kingdom.
Particularly, I think the bests things about Tashkent are the people and its climate. The weather is wonderful. People are very friendly and kind. That’s why I love my native town.
