Geologists say the meteorite hit the place and moved the rock and exposed it 100 million years ago. Meteorite fragments and an ancient breed create a difficult interest point for the next east Kazakhstan. The flow of clay washing from Shekelmes flows directly into Zaisan, forming gullies of varying depths and strange shapes. The mysterious and supernatural appearance of the wind and water to this place.

The night sky was sparkling with stars, warm breezes, the sour smell of desert grass, the sound of waves. All of these have made an unforgettable impression on urban residents and tourists.
