Vopsham is considered a local landmark, but children and teenagers are constantly riding around on electric scooters, be careful they can knock you down.

Taraz's Big Ben is a place where history meets modernity, but the meeting turns out to be comical. The Ancient Taraz complex was built on the site where the Great Silk Road passed in ancient times. Archaeologists have found remains of medieval streets, baths, running water, and even a treasure trove of jewelry. The place itself is interesting, but this is a novelty... The 35-meter clock stele cost the budget 189 million tenge. It was opened with fanfare at the end of 2019, and they promised an "eternal" clock from St. Petersburg, but it broke almost immediately. Locals joke: "These watches cost more than they go." And it's true — now the hands are frozen at 12:00, and they show the exact time only twice a day. The place is large-scale, but uncomfortable. There is nothing much to do there — it is better to choose the afternoon for walks, in the late afternoon. But it's very noisy there in the evening, just like at a bazaar — although the green bazaar that used to be here looked more organic. And if you remember that the caravans of the Great Silk Road traveled through this land, it becomes a bit insulting for such a "monument".

It is unclear according to what canons they were installed as they were installed-not on the cardinal points, they used poor-quality material, an incomplete design.
