On a slope above Cholpon-Ata, at Issyk-Köl lake, a huge collection of petroglyphes can be found. The deer, goats and horsemen have been carved out of the rocks about 1500 to 2500 years ago. These rocks came down during the last ice age.

Op een helling boven Cholpon-Ata, aan het Issyk-Köl meer, is een grote verzameling petroglieven te vinden. De herten, geiten en mannen te paard zijn tussen de 1500 en 2500 jaar geleden uitgebeiteld op grote rotsen die tijdens de laatste ijstijd naar beneden zijn gekomen.
