Ashgabat wide empty boulevards:
The capital city of Turkmenistan is over-the-top and outlandish, with white marble buildings flanking wide and empty boulevards, psychedelic government edifices looming over perfectly manicured gardens. Through the last decade, the country has prospered tremendously from their vast natural gas and oil resources. The government has since poured their wealth into reforming their capital city.
Lonely Planet describes Ashgabat as a cross between Las Vegas and Pyongyang - it’s easy to see how accurate this description is once you’re here. With the glitzy marble facades and bright neon lights, Ashgabat resembles Las Vegas especially by night. On the other hand, the artificially clean and new look, and the Stalinist-like regime that governs the country reminds me of North Korea. Coming to Ashgabat is like stepping into the future and yet knowing fully well that you’re stuck in the past. Turkmenistan is a relatively wealthy country but its people are still living in a controlled regime imposed by the government.
How did it get so bizarre?
A major earthquake in 1948 wiped out the entire city of Ashgabat, killing almost 110,000 people even though Stalin refused to admit that and reported only 14,000 deaths. Ashgabat was then rebuilt in the Soviet style. In 1991, Turkmenistan finally gained independence. It’s leader Turkmenbashi (an eccentric dictator of sorts who named himself the ‘leader of the Turkmen’) immediately carried out major construction plans to welcome in “the golden era of Turkmenistan”. The result is a brand new city with a jumble of lavish golden-domed palaces, Bellagio fountains, neon-lit monuments and Stalinist ministries of state.
Is it worth visiting?
Turkmenistan is the seventh least visited country in the world, receiving only 3,000 visitors per year. Many travelers choose to skip Turkmenistan due to the strict visa rules. You can only get a tourist visa if you join a guided tour and that means added cost and limited freedom (you can also get a transit visa but that’ll only give you three to five days in the country). I would definitely recommend a visit, especially if you are a curious traveler keen on places that are unconventional and under-theradar.
It's like single-player Minecraft. Many buildings, no people
There are plenty of cars and people in the city. You need to de-blind yourself.
@@thesecretlibrary890 I think you are blind and deaf ears have nothing comman sense
New Ashkhabat city looks without people
it's like something strange, only plain building
🤣😃
Very nice
So basically this president wanted to play Minecraft creative mode in real life? Cool
Yes
That's Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow for you.
Long live Turkmenistan, neighbor Azir 💓
I'm from Iran
Turkmen xalqina Can Azerbaycandan Allahin salami olsun
Novruz bayramimiz mubarek olsun amin 💕🇦🇿
Кардош, ога-иним азарбайжан халкига хам Узбекистондан саломлар булсин сог-саломат булинг.
У них интернета нет😂 кому ты это написал
Seems all the people live in old Ashgabat near the end there was more cars and people
Goes to show that shiny buildings aren't what makes a city. Fundamentally its the people who give life to any beautiful city.
World's cleanest country, lov ❤e it from Tajikistan 🇹🇯🇹🇲
I saw some videos about Dushanbe Tajikistan and it looks a bit similar to Ashgabat
North Korea with oil and gas reserves lmao.
nope in nord korea the people are hungry and they have no rights but in turkmenistan you have rights and money.
@@FreePalestine711 as long as they have oil reserves
Masallah ashgabat is very Beutyfull city,, frome Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Perfect place if you want to get depressed quickly.
Not if you love quiet.
I would say that it is a beautiful place where it is very clean, lots of greenery and you can rest mentally from aggressively people!
Nah i think it is very peaceful
Really liked this phenomenal city eventhough the streets are empty.
That music is superb.

Why do they have traffic lights lol?
aahhaha not even cars 😂
At least they have timers. 😀
Hhhhhh
idk there is literally never traffic in that city
I'm interested in learning more about the civil engineers who planned and built these exquisite buildings. Looks out of the world.
Kotanya bersih 👍 bangunanya kokoh & rapih ..🆗
Love you from Pakistan
This is my beautiful country, Turkmenistan. Ashgabat is actually not empty. When you're only shooting, people prefer not to leave their homes because the weather is at 40 degrees during the day. And when the low population is added to this, such a prejudice can occur.
Western people always have something to take a dig at.
Ps: your national anthem is awesome!
Your logic is flawed, In the old city down the road there is people outside everywhere. If a city has people then it has pigeons, I didn't see either?
@@quaussiemoto3939 if you have never been there don't talk about it. Please
Salam dari indonesia bagus cantik bandar ya..🇮🇩

Aşgabat çok yahşı görünüyor.Bir gelin gibi bembeyaz.
Hiç bir şey dışardan gözüktüğü gibi değil;)
This is a beautiful land and architecture
Its so pointless
If he built it for the people and had cars all over with people walking around freely it would look even more beautiful
ماشاءاللہ 🇹🇷🇵🇰🇺🇿🇹🇯🇹🇲🇦🇿،🇦🇫
Are those monster buildings military baraks or prisons? I saw more signs of life on Mars than here...
So beautiful

Living there probably feels like a dream. The difficulty to enjoy it is the reality of life. I wish I could go there. The night is even more intriguing!

It looks empty, but, nevertheless, it looks good. Really good. Taj Mahal looks also empty, but everyone says its the best architecture in the world. Same thing to these houses in Ashgabat. I think its welldone, and, even if there are few people on the street, they feel well.
Wonderful
Очень красивый город

Гурбатда гариб шодимон булмас эмиш,
Эл анга шафику мехрибон булмас эмиш,
Олтин кафас ичра гар кизил гул битса,
Булбулга тикандек ошиён булмас эмиш.

Wow what a beautiful City all white like in Paradise
Central Asian version of Pyongyang
It's a marvelous heavenly city organized in all respects. Model to the world
You might argue that it is phalansteric but the lack of public ads everywhere is just eye-pleasing. With smaller buildings and fully grown trees in between it would be a nice neighborhood.
Wow love from India ❤️
It's amazing
nope
I would like to immigrate in this country😘
Peaceful, and clean
Turkmenistan...
They also have the slowest internet connection and a dictatorial regime...I'd like to visit it as a tourist because I am really in love with thier culture food etc ..
Beautiful city 💕
