Lao Tzu.

A trip from Temirtau to Almaty.

Fountains along with an extensive aryky network play a big role for Alma-Ata. Together they create a single complex of ponds and watercourses of the city. Their task is to irrigate green spaces and create a favorable microclimate, especially in hot and dry seasons.
Today in Alma-Ata there are 10 city improvement programs, among which, in addition to Almaty Fountains - Almaty Rivers, which aims to develop over 20 rivers flowing through the city.
The first fountain appeared in Alma-Ata in 1948.
Tulebaev Street was called Fontannaya.
