三角朱古力
首都地標除了有「珍寶珠」（Baiterek Tower），還有三角朱古力，說的是和平文化宮（Palace of Peace and Reconciliation），個人認為其外形更似Pink Floyd陳年唱片封套。呈金字塔形的和平文化宮，同樣是Foster出品，破紀錄21個月竣工，為3年一次的全球傳統宗教會議（Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions ）而建，平時會對外開放。由於參與會議的宗教背景迥異，包括回教、佛教及天主教等，文化宮的設計不能偏袒某個教派，故不會見到十字架或佛像，簡約的三角線條反而是最耐看、最富包容性的設計。
幕後設計師
看畢首都多幢奇幻建築，也想了解這個「幻想之都」的幕後揸弗人—哈薩克現任總統納扎爾巴耶夫（Nursultan Nazarbayev）的生平。市內的總統博物館（The First President's Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan），透過10多萬張歷史圖片、總統個人物品、錄像及多國送贈的紀念品，將納扎爾巴耶夫的生平及哈薩克的發展史一次過晒冷。須留意是納扎爾巴耶夫自哈薩克脫離蘇聯獨立後，擔任第一任總統至今超過20年，在他領導下，政治及經濟發展穩健，令哈薩克成為近年崛起的中亞強國，他是哈薩克人民心目中無可取代的英雄，館內展示手法難免充滿歌頌味道，例如總統兒時的威水成績表，以及無處不在的肖像，讓你好好感受這位領袖的魅力。

納扎爾巴耶夫兒時品學兼優，科科甲的成績表當然要拿出來晒命。
在阿斯塔納巧遇迷人秋色，不過很快會披上厚厚白衣。

Khan Shatyr ("Royal Marquee") is a giant transparent tent in Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan. The architectural project was unveiled by the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev on December 9, 2006.
The 150m-high (500 ft) tent has a 200m elliptical base covering 140,000 square metres (14 ha; 35 acres).Underneath the tent, an area larger than 10 football stadiums, is an urban-scale internal park, shopping and entertainment venue with squares and cobbled streets, a boating river, shopping centre, minigolf and indoor beach resort. The roof is constructed from ETFE-cushions provided by Vector Foiltec suspended on a network of cables strung from a central spire. The transparent material allows sunlight through which, in conjunction with air heating and cooling systems, is designed to maintain an internal temperature between 15–30 °C (59–86 °F) in the main space and 19–24 °C (66–75 °F) in the retail units, while outside the temperature varies between -35 and 35 °C (-31 and 95 °F) across the year.
The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation (Kazakh: Бейбітшілік пен келісім сарайы), also translated as the Pyramid of Peace and Accord, is a 77 m high building in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. The structure was built by Sembol Construction at a cost of 8.74 billion Kazakh tenge (about $58 million) and opened in late 2006.
The pyramid portion of the building is 62 m high which sits on a 15 m high earth covered block. All of this construction is above ground level. Though the landscaping of the park rises up to cover the lower levels, these are not in fact basements.
It was designed by the British architects Foster and Partners (lead design). Turkish architectural firm Tabanlıoğlu Architects undertook construction information packages for the Foster design and engineers Buro Happold undertook lead structural and services design. The Foster team was led by architects Nigel Dancey, Lee Hallman and Peter Ridley. Sembol Construction undertook a Design and Build contract, and were ultimately responsible for the final details and finishes, some of which varied considerably from the Foster and Tabanlıoğlu (Tabanlioglu) intent. Central State Museum of Kazakhstan
The Central State Museum of Kazakhstan is the largest museum in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and one of the largest museums in Central Asia.. The building comprises of seven main exhibition halls which house an awe-inspiring collection of artefacts and information from the nation's rich history.
When first established in 1931, the museum was located in the Almaty Cathedral. It moved to a modern facility in 1985 and is a landmark in Almaty.
The museum houses the most significant collection of Kazakh historical, archaeological, and modern cultural and political artifacts.
