Historical and cultural attractions of Ulytau.

"We, the inhabitants of the steppe, have neither rare nor expensive things, our main wealth is horses, their meat and skin serve us as the best food and clothing... in our land there are no gardens or buildings; to admire the cattle that graze - that is the purpose of our walks; let's go to the herd, look at the horses and, by the way, spend some time together in pleasant company."
