Central market of Kyzyl Suu

In 1932, Ella Maillart, a Swiss adventurer, describes the market of Kyzyl Suu, formerly Pakrovka, in her book "From the Celestial Mountains to the Red Sands". She makes a last supply before leaving to search for the basmatchis who were hiding in the Tien Shan mountains. The market is in the centre of the village on the main road south of Lake Issyk Kul.

You can find everything here, but the main reason for coming is fresh bread, meat, fruit, vegetables and dairy products.
