Bayterek Tower

The Bayterek Tower is no doubt the most representative landmark in Nursultan. Bayterek, also known as the tree of life, means a “tall poplar” in Kazakh. The design of the tower is based on a Kazakh legend that talks about Samruk, the sacred bird of happiness. Every year, Samruk will lay an egg between the two branches of the white poplar, the tree of life. The body and branches of the tower symbolise the trunk and branches of the tree of life. The ball-shaped observation deck, which symbolises the egg of Samrulk, is on the very top.
