Almaty’s Green Bazaar is an iconic Central Asian shopping destination located right next to the Rahat Chocolate Factory. Here, food-lovers can sample Kazakh specialties like kazy - horse meat sausage - and a baffling array of Korean salads, as well as delicacies from other parts of the Soviet Union like churchkhela with pomegranate syrup. There's also an “eastern medicine” section selling mountain herbs, snakes, frogs, and crickets dipped in honey! The bazaar is bustling with an eclectic variety of vendors from fortune tellers and shoe cobblers to mobile phone fencers and rooms-by-the-hour - a must-visit for anyone interested in experiencing authentic Almaty culture!
