Is Samarkand more than just a tourist trap?

[@nawylocie_blog]

Increasingly commercial, but I still like it. Greetings from Poland traveller , welcome to your channel about the Silk Road.

City and country is so historically diversed. Mixed of Chinese, turkic, Persian, Indian, Buddhism and Hellenistic

I believe the white paint on tree trunks is to protect the tree from sunlight (white color reflects more light). The trunks are painted to prevent bark splitting and other heat-related problems. We see this commonly in the US too.

[@thetravellingdanuk]

Great to know - thanks!

[@ФаррухАбдусалямов-ы6д]

The tree trunks are not painted with white paint, it is lime. Covering trees with lime prevents damage to them by harmful insects and bugs.

[@SBxEDITSx]

@@ФаррухАбдусалямов-ы6д true!

[@firdavsmelibayev2522]

That's to save trees from some insects, that crawl up and eat them.

Beautiful, also nice sunglasses ! X

[@thetravellingdanuk]

Thank you!!!😊

[@petermclaren2665]

My Polish mother in law paints the trunks of her fruit trees with white lime or something similar. She told me that it stops some insects climbing up them . I don't know if it works.

[@thetravellingdanuk]

From chatting with the locals, I think that's the same for here!

[@petermclaren2665]

Exactly the same experience with my Polish mother in law. She did it because her mother did it.

I like that ' im happy ' expression after getting the burger.

What's the name of that great burger restaurant please?

[@thetravellingdanuk]

Farsh Burgernaya. It was down the road to the right at the end of Bul'var (other end of the park from Registon). Happy hunting!

[@Remontada_uz]

Wow

3:12 did you meant 7 century b.c ? Because Alexander the Great invaded Samarkand

[@JC-ce8uw]

Is there a way you can go there cheaply and direct? A ticket per person from UK is like £685.😮

[@thetravellingdanuk]

Probably not. I flew to Almaty, Kazakhstan via Istanbul then got a 15 hour sleeper train

[@farruhahmedov5495]

Найдите узбекские авиалинии,они должны быть дешевле,лучше кормят чем многие авиалинии,и по безопасности и комфорту в высоких рейтингах. Самолеты только компании Боинг и Airbus. Летчики тоже считаются лучшими(Российская школа). Каждую неделю вроде бы есть рейсы

[@Almazarsky]

As far as I can remember, we always paint tree trunks with white lime, firstly to prevent some insects from climbing up and secondly it looks beautiful ... The last statement about beauty is questionable of course ?!

[@thetravellingdanuk]

Yesss, turns out a lot of countries do this. It was new to me

[@muhammadsohail1211]

😍😍😍

[@samal004]

We usually paint the tree trunks against insects

[@munisarahimjonova9726]

[@plamenm1641]

White paint is against insects. They also paint the curb of sidewalk near houses in white for sane reason.

do restaurants accept card in uzbekstan or is it more cash based society?

[@thetravellingdanuk]

It's definitely mostly cash. You might find the odd tourist restaurant which takes card but it is almost completely cash (unfortunately for me)

tourist trap? why did think about Samarkand? needless title i dont like

[@k2k273]

I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s precisely the cafe shops and burger joints you like what qualifies as a tourist trap. That Samarkand does not have that many means it is not a tourist trap yet. Do you really want ice cream parlors, pubs, pizza places and stuff like that? Perhaps you may enjoy the century-old mosques, madrassas, mausoleums and old streets and forget western junk food…. Just a thought.

[@qpr543]

Samarkand architecture is better than that of Taj mahal, on account of the colours. Taj mahal is plain white.

[@_Worldmapper_]

Taj Mahal was also built by Uzbeks 😂❤

Nice video with some shallow conclusions. That's why you've got to hire a guide when you go somewhere
