Ashgabat, dressed in its beautiful New Year attire, has turned into a radiant city at night. Inspired by the enchanting glow of festive lights, people share warm greetings and joy with one another — a true sign of unity among the population.
For several days now, crowds have been gathering around the festive trees, whose colorful lights brighten peaceful nights and highlight the beauty of our Homeland. In particular, the flow of visitors remains steady at the nation’s Main New Year Tree located in front of the “Alem” Cultural and Recreation Center. Adorned with thousands of decorations and lighting elements, the dazzling tree attracts residents and guests of the Turkmen capital who come to attend celebrations and capture memorable photographs.
