Kyzyl, Capital city in Tuva Republic, Russia
Kyzyl extends across 97 square kilometers at the meeting point of the Great Yenisei and Little Yenisei rivers, forming the upper Yenisei waterway.
The settlement began in 1914 as Belotsarsk, underwent several name changes including Khem-Beldyr, and received its current designation as Kyzyl in 1926.
The National Museum of Tuva Republic presents collections of regional artifacts, traditional instruments, and exhibitions about the Buddhist and Shamanistic practices.
The city maintains connections through regular flights at Kyzyl Airport and the M54 federal highway, which extends from Abakan to the Mongolian border.
A monument marks the calculated geographic center of the Asian continent, located at the confluence of both Yenisei rivers at 630 meters elevation.
