The locals work hard during the summer season so that they can live on the money they earn from the summer for the rest of the months - this is how the Issyk Kul residents themselves joke. Therefore, it is rare to see locals lying on the beach or swimming in the lake, you will not see them just loitering along the shore: they sell hot pies, corn, fried- dried- smoked fish, the harvest of their gardens and vegetables, packaged in containers for breakfast, lunch, dinner, as well as snacks, chips, seeds, vegetables, berries and many more things that are necessary for languidly sunbathing on the beach.
Others manage catamarans, boats, scooters, huge rubber cylinders, etc. Others offer tours to nearby tracts, gorges, high-altitude lakes and forests. There are other categories that can ride camels, horses, donkeys on the beaches and take pictures with lizards, golden eagles, chipmunks, and other animals. Kids pass between the vacationers and offer for sale everything imaginable - from chewing gums and caramels to children's toys, balloons, clothes, hats. Summer is a season of earnings for locals, a time of hard work.
Therefore, attractions are operating in the early morning and kiosks, shops and catering outlets are opening. The Ferris Wheel features a view of a lake with turquoise-crystal water that even the rocks at the bottom are visible, here you can ride water and roller coasters, experience diving, ride a huge banana on the waves of the lake, ATV, scooter, catamaran, boat, sailboat, book a trip on a white steamer, do paragliding and skydiving.
