Barekci, the capital of Kyrgyzstan's Issyk-Kul oblast, is located on the north shore of the picturesque Issyk-Kul Lake, close to the border with Kazakhstan, and is the country's important transportation hub and economic center. As an important post on the ancient Silk Road, Balykch is a fusion of diverse cultures in Central Asia, and the local market is full of rich ethnic flavor, handicrafts and special food to attract tourists. Thanks to the nourishment of Lake Issyk-Kul, the area enjoys a favorable climate and is well developed in agriculture and fisheries, while at the same time becoming a transit point for trade connecting Central Asian countries due to its geographical location. Despite its small size, Balykch has become an important gateway for exploring the western part of Kyrgyzstan with its unique lakes and mountains and the historical heritage of the Silk Road.
