The most beautiful parks and gardens Central Asia

Starting from the promenade in Namangan, Babur Park replaced the old gardens of the Governor, created in 1884. Named later Pushkin, he housed a statue of Lenin, disappeared after independence, when the Uzbeks reinvested the place to install their tchaïkhana and give him the name of the last emperor Timurid, Babur. Its shady lanes of canals and basins also houses the square of Independence, where official celebrations take place.

Next to the stadium. Navoi Park is a crowding of manèges and small fountains with brackish water, which can only be hard to reach a feeling of freshness. At the end of the park, a huge amphitheatre, built in 1999, with a scene mounted on a basin, hosts major events, especially the celebration of Navrouz, the spring celebration on March 21. There is a glass in the wings of a huge falcon that was laid there in 1963.

The Babur memorial was built in 1993, where, according to legend, the last timurid sovereign would have returned to contemplate his city before leaving for Afghanistan. On the walls, a fresco illustrates the great events of Babur's life, since his accession to the throne, at the age of 12, until his death in 1530 through his exile in Afghanistan and the creation of his empire in India. The museum also houses a model and a fragment of the tomb of the poet Alisher Navoi, located in Afghanistan. Just above the museum, a symbolic tomb was erected in memory of the sovereign. Babur was originally buried in Agra, India, before his grave moved to Kabul, Afghanistan. Symbolic burial contains a little land of the true tomb of Babur, and has become a place of pilgrimage. Finally, a cable car leads to the top of the hill, to a small landscaped park overlooking the valley.

The old gardens of the governor have been renovated in the municipal park and the Mustakillik Avenue is located on the pedestrian street. This is where the big stores, the banks and the post office are located. The park is an area where you can breathe surprisingly well, almost forgetting that you are in the country's second industrial city. It is frequent to see the passage of wedding convoys, taking photographs before the gigantic statue of Al Ferghani.
