About the Baiterek (monument)
Baiterek stands on Nurjol Boulevard in Astana, Kazakhstan's capital, as an observation tower and monument. In Kazakh its name translates as "tall poplar tree". The tower was built to mark the 1997 move of the capital from Almaty, and it has become a symbol of the country since independence. Akmurza Rustembekov, a Kazakh architect, realized the project after it was commissioned in 1996.
A wide, flat base sits inside a raised plaza, and from it the 105-meter structure climbs. White girders branch around a slim central shaft and open outward as they near the summit, where they carry a mirrored gold sphere 22 meters across. Inside the shaft, two lifts rise to an observation deck 97 meters above the ground. That deck occupies two floors, the higher one reached by a flight of stairs, and one level gives 360-degree views of the city.
The design refers to a folktale: Samruk, a magic bird of happiness, laid her egg where two branches of the tree of life met. On the upper level, set into an ornate pedestal, is a gilded imprint of Nursultan Nazarbayev's right hand. Nazarbayev was the first president of independent Kazakhstan, and a plaque asks visitors to put a hand in the print and make a wish.
