Ust-Kamenogorsk

In 1720, Major-General I. Liharev returned from an expedition to the lake called Zaisan. During the expedition, it was decided to build a fortress in the form of a strengthening of the constant captures of Jungars who tried in every way to get to Siberia. The fortress was called Ust-Kamenogorsk.

After 30 years, the fortress lost its role, and the settlement that formed around it became a center for trade between China and Mongolia. This place is called the "Gate of the Rudny Altai".

Through the settlement, caravans passed with different types of cargo.

In 1868, it was decided to transform the small village into a city.

Local places are very beautiful. Rocks attract tourists with their unusual looks and outlines.
