Kazakhstan's most famous river is the Esil. It starts in the Niaz Mountains and is 2,450 km long. It flows right through the centre of Nur-Sultan. The Esil is not only a beautiful sight, it is also an attraction for visitors and locals alike. People enjoy walking or jogging along the banks, or taking a boat trip. The left bank of the river has lots of attractions, including Baiterek Tower, the egg-shaped building of the National Archive and the magnificent Nur Astana Mosque. And lots more: in summer, everybody enjoys a trip to the artificial beach that has been built on the banks of the Esil. You can even go swimming there! In winter, though, the Esil freezes over and that's when people enjoy activities such as ice skating and ice fishing!
