The ruins of the ancient city of Ak-Beshim are located south of Tokmok, near the village of the same name. It was here that the city of Suyab once stood—one of the most important centers of the Great Silk Road in the Chuy Valley.

In the 5th–10th centuries, Suyab was a major commercial and political city where caravans from China, Central Asia, and the Middle East converged. Merchants, diplomats, and travelers passed through its streets, and along with goods, ideas, religions, and cultures of different peoples spread here.
