During this time, the reserves of these plants growing on the Kotanashi pasture on the Tarbagatai ridge were calculated, and recommendations for their rational use were given. As a result of the research, a cure has been developed for arthritis and arthrosis.
The peculiarity of the trilingual website “DiscoverEast” https://discovereast.kz/index.html, posting the sights of East Kazakhstan region, is that the design changes depending on the size of the device, i.e. adapts to the screen, be it a phone, tablet or computer.
The authors of the project are Estai Anuarbekov and Erasyl Kairkanov, students of the 11th grade of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Ust-Kamenogorsk city. Along with photographs of historic and cultural centers, the website has a route map for tourists.

Such bag is durable, the dimensions are calculated, and you can also find out information about the sights of Ust-Kamenogorsk city using the QR code on the bag.
