The mountainous city of Almaty is Kazakhstan’s financial and cultural capital. Take a stroll among historic fountains, try your luck at winter sports, and taste the wild apples that gave the city its name.Almaty literally means ‘city of apple trees’, and, because of its relatively mild climate, it has a wide range of apple trees.  The Turkic name for apple is Alma and Ata meaning forefather, which could lay it open to be possibly the origin of the Apple (The garden of Eden).The city certainly has a spectacular beauty, whether or not it was the Garden of Eden.The backdrop of mountains against the taller buildings makes a dramatic and impressive Beauty.
