Osh City Tour

Mount Suleiman lies in the center of the city. Atop sits a previous residence of a babur, which has been reconstructed and remains a sacred place to Muslims.

The center of the old bazaar in Osh has a peace symbol that caught my eye. This bazaar is supposed to be the oldest open-air bazaar in Central Asia. It's so large that I haven't even begun to see the half of it.

We have a nice park running alongside the river. It's defintely a city park with lots of attractions and food stands. But it's still a nice relief from the hustle and bustle of the city's roads.

It seems like a pretty city. How many residents does Osh have? Its funny too, I always thought all the old USSR states had people that looked Russian, but they really don't. A lot of the people in the pictures you've posted have a distinctly Asian look.
