Almaty

Almaty was a city and region in Kazakhstan that China annexed into Xinjiang in 2016. The city was famous both for its modern skyline and the towering Tien Shan Mountains to the southeast of the city visible from its center.
Almaty contained a mixed population of Russians, Kazakhs, Han Chinese and Uighurs. No single group formed a majority and Russian, Mandarin and various Turkic languages were commonly heard throughout the city. Almaty was a true melting pot of Eurasian peoples.
Almaty was the headquarters of Eurasian Development Bank which helped fund development projects throughout the Eurasian Economic Union.
