One of the beaches of the northern shores of the Lake Ysyk-Köl with snow-capped mountains in the background. The lake has been an important summer vacation hot spot since the Soviet times with much of the sanatoria and hotels concentrated in the area around the town of Cholpon-Ata. After the dissolution of the URSS, tourism has drastically fallen in the area, due to political and ecnomoical instability.
