**Japanese Garden**


The garden owes its name to its developers. Many old residents still remember the time half a century ago (and it was the year of 1947), when a park was started on the waste plot of land. The foundation pit for the lake was made by Japanese soldiers and the trees of the park were probably planted with their hands…

More than half a century has passed. Time heals wounds, but it also sharpens our memory. The stones in the park are like memory and the flowers along the garden alleys are like reconciliation. Everything here disposes us for peace, contemplation, for thoughts about eternal and beautiful, for creativity and forgiveness. Parents with children come here to feed the numerous ducks swimming on the surface of the lake adjacent to the Japanese garden. It is a pleasure to sit for a while in a cozy pergola on the shore of the lake, to wander along the garden lanes in the peace and quiet in the heart of the noisy city.

Here you can see many wedding processions. The Japanese garden is a popular place for visiting by the newly married who wish to photograph and make video of their happiest day against the background of splendid nature.

On a journey through the garden one must necessarily make a stopover at the teahouse. Next to its entrance there is a national Japanese drum and you must rotate it so that the Gods should hear you. You are to leave your footwear at the door, since the floor inside is covered with carpets. It is possible to be photographed next to the table with the display of all the necessary items for the tea ceremony. National Japanese costumes hung on the walls will contribute to a visitor's impression of being in a small Japan, located in the heart of Uzbekistan.

Having walked through the house you will find yourself on the open verandah overlooking a small pond with running water. You can sit right on the edge of the verandah dabbling your feet in the water and watching free and easy games of carps and golden fish living in the pond.

Then you can walk along the wooden foot bridge across the babbling creek and walk on along the intricate paths discovering the hidden corners of the huge garden…

**Central Park named after Alisher Navoiy**
The thirties of the last century are known for big construction work in the countries of Central Asia. Many parks in Tashkent were laid at this time. In 1932 in close vicinity of the modern Almazar street a park was laid, its construction was completed in 1937. Now the park bears the name of great enlightener Alisher Navoiy. The park covers 65 hectares and its water surface is 9 hectares.

The park and the adjacent area located close to the building of Oliy Majlis (Parliament) represent a harmonious ensemble linking the Uzbek people's great past to their aspirations for the future. The figure of Alisher Navoiy, to which young people starting their life journey come on their festive day, seems to be blessing them to continue on the great traditions of the Uzbek people: the traditions of peace, love, help to neighbors.

The mirrors of the artificial lakes' water surfaces contribute to the special atmosphere of the park filled with the fragrances of blossoming roses. Secluded alleys of the park inspire one to think of the meaning of life and to dream of future.

**Tashkent Lakeside Golf Club**
Golf, deeply revered in Western Europe and America with many adherents who make it their way of life, is becoming more and more popular in Uzbekistan. A perfectly organized a golf country club and first class golf course has now been created in Tashkent, where high level competitions are often held.

Ideal climate, clean air, wonderful views, natural landscapes - hilly lowlands, fields crossed with the tree lines, lakes and vegetation makes for this. 108 hectares of land with 18 holes on evergreen lawns, with gently sloping hills and branchy crowns of trees, lakes and waterfalls that serve as natural barriers for the game, all this pertains to "Tashkent Lake Side Golf Club". Look the scheme here...

Here the golf fields, which are 7015 yards long, challenge the proficient golf players, and at the same time enable the beginners to perfect their skills. Picturesque lakes surrounding the fields impart peculiar characteristics to each of 18 holes. Meandering along the lakes and waterfalls, the fields make an atmosphere of an oasis typical for inland plains of Central Asian.

It will take you 20 minutes to get to this Rokhat suburban recreation area from the center of the capital. This first-class Golf Club was constructed with the assistance of American company "Olden Star Inc" and was opened for visitors in August, 1998. Playing golf is a real pleasure! Everyone can play it, irrespective of age, sex and physical fitness. This is one of the few sports, which all the family can go in for the whole year round. In Uzbekistan, noted for its warm climate that allows playing outdoor games at any season of the year, one can really play golf all the year round.

Golf is an ancient game. It appeared 700 years ago concurrently in several countries, but still Scotland is considered to be a homeland of golf. It was created by shepherds, who whiled away the time by driving the stones into the holes with the help of sticks, whilst flocks of sheep were grazing in the meadows.

In spite of the fact that Tashkent lakeside golf club is young, it becomes more and more popular among the golf players. More than 100 hundred players from USA, UK, Japan, Canada, Malaysia, Holland, South Korea took part in the first open golf tournament of Uzbekistan.

For instance, golf players from South Korea find it more convenient and profitable to fly to Tashkent for a weekend rather than wait for their turn in the expensive golf club in their home country.

Climatic conditions of Uzbekistan ensure that golf fields are green and in perfect condition all the year round. Whereas in Russia, where golf is extremely popular nowadays, severe winter frosts and cold rainy days in autumn and spring make golf a season game. Therefore golf fans from Moscow and other Russian cities come to Uzbekistan in order to play golf.

Many employees of foreign embassies, foreign representative offices, trading and manufacturing companies and, of course, business elite of Tashkent are the constant members of Tashkent Lake side golf club. Today golf is not only the playground where golfers can prove themselves.

Tashkent lakeside golf club possesses a large recreational area with training lawns, tennis courts, swimming pool, sauna, guesthouse, and restaurant with excellent cuisine.

For many golf devotees, this aristocratic game has become a life style. Members of this country club get together in informal atmosphere to converse about the things they are interested in as well as to discuss some business matters and to make a deal. As a matter of fact the unofficial objective of the golf club is to provide for the club members the favorable conditions for making contacts, to help them to find partners not only for golf game but also for business cooperation. After all, some of the foreign guests come to Uzbekistan having neither friends nor business partners here. Thus golf club membership becomes a kind of a good business card for them.

Very often guests coming to Uzbekistan kill two birds with one stone. They combine playing golf with touring Uzbekistan's ancient cities located along the Great Silk Road. Impressions gained during the excursions to the ancient architectural constructions of Shakhrisabz and Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, which are included into UNESCO world heritage list, are just unforgettable; they fascinate and command respect towards the historical and cultural background of Uzbek people. After familiarizing themselves with this "oriental tale", the visit to the Tashkent Lake side golf club, the prestigious center of the very "West-European" sport in the heart of Central Asia, becomes particularly exciting.

**Monuments of Mustakillik (Independence) Square****
On the largest square of the Republic of Uzbekistan sit the administrative headquarters of the Cabinet of Ministers and Senate.

In the past few years Mustakillik Square, thanks to extensive reconstruction projects, has changed immensely, not only in style but in meaning. It remains the most important square in the country, a symbol of freedom and independence, and a place of worship, where the hopes and dreams of our generation are expressed.

The entrance to Mustakillik Square is through the Ezgulik decorated archway (the arch of good and noble aspirations) adorned with sculptures of storks taking flight.

Bearing in mind their most intimate desires, all passing under the arch are ushered into the center of Mustakillik Square, where the Independence Monument rises. "The concepts of "independence" and "humanitarianism" are expressed by our most precious achievement, the greatest wealth, we must keep as the apple of our eye and convey to future generations!" - said President of Uzbekistan I. Karimov, placing a wreath at the foot of the monument. It consists of two sites – “Independence” and “Happy Mother”.

The Monument of Independence (1991), which marks the sovereignty of Uzbekistan, is a large golden globe with outlines of the borders (territorial) of the State. But the engraved territory of the Republic does not repeat the geographical location of the country, as it symbolizes the desire of the young independent state to join the world community and its recognition by many countries.

The “Happy Mother” monument (2006) was completed by the sculptor, Ilhomom Kamolom Dzhabbarovymi. The image symbolizes a mother's homeland, and a child - the image of the future. The Happy Mother is 6 meters high and the length of the child is 3.5 meters. The monument is simple, but solemn.

A simple Uzbek woman with a kind face and happy eyes: this is a symbol of the homeland, life and wisdom. Her open eyes are fixed on the dearest thing which any mother has - her child, symbolizing the birth of the young independent state. She carefully keeps her priceless treasure, it is in safe hands and no one and will ever be able to wrest it from her. She will nurture and raise him, in order that he grew up worthy of his mother – the Motherland.

The main wealth of the state and its future is the younger generation. But a country without a history has no future. Simply knowing this, and respecting their predecessors, the younger generation will be able to build a new society. Not surprisingly, Mustakillik Square has another memorial dedicated to those who never returned from the fields of World War II. Near an eternal flame are tragic figures of bereaved mothers who look to the fronts of the war and await their children. More than a million Uzbek fell in battle. Their names are inscribed in golden letters, "memorial books", located here. From all corners of Uzbekistan during both holidays and weekdays, people come to remember relatives and loved ones.
