The map
About this Balykchy map poster
Balykchy sits at the western end of Issyk-Kul, the large high-altitude lake in north-eastern Kyrgyzstan. The town, formerly called Rybachye, grew as a fishing and transport centre, and it is the eastern end of the railway line from Bishkek, which gives it a role as the gateway to the lake.
On the map, the shoreline is the strongest element. The town is laid out in a regular grid along the curving western shore, and the open water spreads away eastward. Dry hills and the ranges of the Tian Shan rise behind the town and along both sides of the lake.
A Balykchy map poster captures the point where land routes meet one of the largest mountain lakes in the world. It suits people from the Issyk-Kul region and travellers who remember arriving at the lake through this town.

Railway terminus
The line from Bishkek ends here, and the tracks and station form a clear feature running into the town from the west.
Grid streets
Balykchy’s streets are laid out in an orderly grid, a tidy pattern that fills the space between the lake and the dry hills around it.
