Ferghana is a city of 300,000 people (2022) in the Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan. A pass from Kashgar (now in China's westernmost province, Xinjiang) to Ferghana was an important link on the main course of the historic Silk Road. From Ferghana, westbound caravans would proceed along the Ferghana valley to Kokand (where they might branch off toward Tashkent) and Khujand, then continue toward Samarkand.
1 Palace of Arts Park. A large greenspace where you could do some serious walking around (although you might freeze in the winter). Looking at it from a satellite image will have your mind spinning with all the geometric figures in place via the various walkways throughout the park. (updated Sep 2020) 2 Central Park. Another park with some monuments, fountains, and rides such as a Ferris wheel. (updated Sep 2020) 3 Fergana Regional History Museum. The regional history museum has limited English signage but makes for an interesting couple of hours. (updated Apr 2025)
Shashlik Stands, City Market / Bazaar. Look for the smoke rising from the charcoal around 50 m away from the covered market area.
