Why did people flee here from China. Welcome to the provincial town of Karakol (Kаракол), in the east of Kyrgyzstan. Karakol was founded as a Russian military outpost in 1869, in what was then the Russian Empire.
Karakol grew in the 19th century after explorers came to map the peaks and valleys separating Kyrgyzstan from China.
In the 1880's Karakol's population surged with an influx of the Dungan people, Chinese Muslims fleeing persecution in Qing Dynasty China. The Dungan people (also known as Hui Chinese), brought with them, their culture, traditions, language and of course cuisine.
Modern day Karakol is the capital of the Issyk-Kul region and the 4th largest city in Kyrgyzstan. It is a diverse mix of ethnic Dungan's, Kyrgyz, Russian's, Uighur's and more. This is reflected in everything from the architecture to the languages you hear and in the food! 🇰🇬

I rarely leave comments, but I absolutely adore your videos. Real people, real places, real everyday life. It’s so fabulous!! People and places most of us will never get to experience. No tourist traps, just real life. I watch all of your videos repeatedly. Thank you for sharing your lives and travels with everyone. Blessings and Love from the USA ❤️🇺🇸

God Bless you both. I’m in my 70’s and I’ve become a travel snob. When I was younger I would camp out and take public transportation but now that I’m old I need my own vehicle and a nice hotel room and eating out. It’s terrible I know. I love watching the two of you being so adventurous. I would be scared to stay in Guests houses. You guys do it with such gusto and vigor. I’ve learned so much by watching your channel. And seen places like I’d never be able to see them. You both do such a great job of giving us the history of each place you visit. You both were born to do this. I hope you get to continue your travels for as long as you want too. ❤️❤️❤️ When that guy said give me 100 for a beer you should have said give me a thousand so I can rent a car. 😂😂😂😂

I like the CBT initiative, it was a nice house you stayed in too. Thanks for the interesting background information you gave on Karakol. Lovely old church building that! Your meals look so appetising, well presented, yum! 😋😋 Interesting story about the awkward situation with the disco guy... 😬😀

Wow, the contrast between Bishket and Karakol is incredible! Like two completely different countries.

Karakol has a quaintness about it that makes travel worthwhile. What I always love about your videos guys is the way you allow us to experience the town or city as though we were there with you. That's a quality you guys possess that makes your videos so special and addictive. When you talked about the feeling of being at the edge of something wild and then the view from your room...it just felt warm and beautiful. Stay safe and be good.

Loved this video, thank you. Such a nice house where you are staying. As always seeing, different places and cultures and such lovely architectural history. Your both brilliant, we were laughing about the Morrisons bags 🤣 it's just so random. The food looked great, thanks for sharing. Wow, had to laugh about the demanding drinking disco dancer 👀 yes there's always one, ha ha🕺🕺it's like they have sixth sense. The views were brilliant from where your staying. Looking forward to the next one 👍🥰 x

This was a great video. I had no idea about this corner of the world. I love the history and explanation of the architecture. I've been having trouble hearing your videos the last couple of times. I might be getting old. Anyway, it was a great video. I always look forward to your videos.

You can run into people everywhere asking for a beer...haha. Karakol is much better than the sanitorium...food and accomodations. Another great video. 💗 from San Diego, CA.
