Navruz Palace&Komsomol Lake:
There is no shortage of high-level meetings and conferences taking place in Dushanbe. During 2014 it was nicknamed “The Diplomatic Capital of Central Asia” based on the high tempo of such events. The spectacular Kohi Navruz (Navruz Palace) hosted the 2014 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Heads of State Summit, which was attended by the presidents of Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia and Iran.
The incredible building has been designed to reflect Tajik culture and diversity. Its various event halls are incredible to behold. Some have been painted in the ancient Persian manner with murals. Others are hand carved out of wood to reflect national symbols, while another is set with precious stones found across the republic. Murals of the nation’s heroes and poets have been set in a serious of domes around the outside of the building amongst gardens and fountains. The facility has been opened to the general public and even includes a bowling alley.
Dushanbe, Tajikistan - Choikhona Kokhi Navruz Billed as the largest teahouse in the world, the Choikhana Kokhi Navruz contains a cinema, nightclub, and various other venues and is decorated in traditional motifs.
In adjacent Komsomol Park, where Dushanbintsi can enjoy a swim or a game of billiards before tucking into some shashlik and beer, passersby generally say they think the structure is beautiful, though several expect it will not be open to the public, much like the $300-million Palace of the Nation across the lake, or a storied tea house in Dangara, President Imomali Rahmon’s hometown.
