Short description of Dushanbe
Dushanbe grew from a Monday market village into a capital of tree lined avenues, and it stays green and low where most Central Asian capitals went tall. Rudaki Avenue runs the length of the centre past pastel ministries and a park holding the Somoni monument and one of the tallest flagpoles anywhere. The museum of antiquities keeps the reclining Buddha lifted from a ruined monastery, the largest clay figure of its kind in the region. Two enormous bazaars supply the city with fruit and spice. The Varzob gorge climbs into the mountains within an hour of the centre.
