Many objects of the city are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and Khiva can rightfully be called a museum city ".
Mami Miyata informs that the inner city of Khiva is the fortress of Ichan-Kala. The clay wall (more than 2 km long, 10 m high and 5-6 m thick), surrounded by four gates - on each side of the world. Ichan-Kala has a large number of mosques, madrassas, minarets. In addition, more than 200 historical architectural monuments, including the caravanserai and the residence of the khan, have been preserved in this area. It is reported that the complex of Ichan-Kala is also included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
"There are many museums in Ichan-Kala, and there are many travelers on the streets during the tourism season. Walking in the early morning gives an opportunity to see the everyday life of citizens. Until now, the traditions of the people have been preserved, which for many centuries received foreigners passing along the Great Silk Road. Residents are smiling and with great respect for the guests. Many tourists pay attention to the "special spirit" of Khiva, "the author writes.
According to M.Miyat, currently the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology is implementing a project in Khiva to revive silk products using modern Japanese technologies.
The "Cocoon" shop, which opened in May last year in the Madrasah of Allakulihan, is given the main role in the implementation of this project. In this store are sewn dolls, which will be exported to Japan.
"It is not without reason that the greatest minds of mankind dedicated their inspired odes to this city, because its beauty inspires and conquers. Often the city is called the "Pearl of the Planet". Naturally, you can say a lot and write about the greatness and uniqueness of Khiva, but it's better to see once than hear a hundred times, "the Japanese journalist sums up.
