Where is the starting point of your tour around Astana? Of course, it is the symbol of the capital - Baiterek. The monument embodies the idea of the Kazakh people related to the structure of the universe. According to the legend, Baiterek is the tree of life, the destination of the sacred bird, Samruk. It takes refuge in the tree’s high crown to lay a golden egg - the sun - giving life and hope. At the same time, at the roots of the tree the hungry dragon Aydahar is hiding in attempt to eat the egg.

That is how the eternal struggle between good and evil is represented.
