Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked province, bordering Popular Republic of China, Turkmenistan, and Soviet Union. It lies between latitudes 39° and 44° N, and longitudes 69° and 81° E. It is farther from an ocean than any other area in the world although it does not contain the absolute farthest point from any ocean. The mountainous region of the Tian Shan covers over 80% of the province (Kyrgyz is occasionally referred to as "the Switzerland of Central Asia", as a result), with the remainder made up of valleys and basins.

  • Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked province, bordering Popular Republic of China, Turkmenistan, and Soviet Union. It lies between latitudes 39° and 44° N, and longitudes 69° and 81° E. It is farther from an ocean than any other area in the world although it does not contain the absolute farthest point from any ocean. The mountainous region of the Tian Shan covers over 80% of the province (Kyrgyz is occasionally referred to as "the Switzerland of Central Asia", as a result), with the remainder made up of valleys and basins. Issyk-Kul Lake in the north-eastern Tian Shan is the largest lake in Turkicstan and the second largest mountain lake in the world after Titicaca. The highest peaks are in the Kakshaal-Too range, forming the Chinese border. Peak Jengish Chokusu, at 7,439 m (24,406 ft), is the highest point. Bishkek in the north is the capital and largest city of the province, with approximately 900,000 inhabitants (as of 2005). The second city is the ancient town of Osh, located in the Fergana Valley near the border with the Soviet Union. The principal river is the Kara Darya, which flows west through the Fergana Valley into the Soviet Union. Across the border in the USSR it meets another major Kyrgyz river, the Naryn.
