Short description of Andijan
Andijan is the eastern end of the Fergana valley and the birthplace of Babur, who was born here in 1483, took Kabul and then India, and founded the Mughal empire. The memorial park on the hill above town is built for him but is not his grave, which is in Kabul where he asked to be buried. An earthquake in 1902 took most of the old city and thousands of lives, so what stands is largely later. The road east from here reaches the Kyrgyz border and Osh in under two hours, which makes this the eastern gate of the country.
