Om
Hurtige fakta: Et 30 meter globusmonument markerer centrum af denne enorme plads, dets bronzekort tegner Usbekistans grænser i relief. Over 2.000 vandstråler danser hen over flere springvand, der strækker sig næsten en kilometer gennem pladsen.
Højdepunkter: Globusmonumentet roterer faktisk langsomt og gennemfører en hel omdrejning hver 24. time ligesom den rigtige jord. Seksten buede stensøjler omkring pladsen bærer hver udskæringer, der repræsenterer en forskellig region af Usbekistan, fra Aralsøens fisk til bomuldsmarkerne i Ferghana.
Insidertips
- Walk past the globe monument to the Alley of Heroes behind it, where a small museum about independence is tucked underground.
- Visit on a weekend evening when local families come out for leisurely strolls, giving the square a festive atmosphere.
- The best photo spot is from the raised platform near the government building entrance, which gets the globe and fountain symmetry in one frame.
- Skip midday summer visits when the marble surfaces reflect intense heat and there's almost no shade.
