Tamgaly-Tas is the site of Dzungar Lamaism, common in South-East Kazakhstan in the second half of the XVII-XVIII centuries. Tamgalytas is located 25 km north-west of Kapchagai, on the right bank of the Ili river.

Lamaist deities are depicted on the coastal fragments of the rocks of the tract and numerous Tibetan-Dzungarian prayer inscriptions are carved.

Tamgaly-Tas is a unique site of Buddhist culture, has a long history of study and has been known in science for more than a century and a half.

Petroglyphs of Eshkiolmes are located 30 km south of the city of Taldykorgan on the southern slopes of the Eshkiolmes ridge.

Plates with pictures were found in 24 gorges, which are waterless sais covered with shrubs. The gorges stretch from west to east for 20 km.

It should be noted the originality of the methods of drawing pictures on the rocks and the undoubted artistic expressiveness of the art of local ancient artists. The miniature images, sometimes not exceeding 1-2 cm, carved on the rocks using graffiti techniques, are distinguished by special grace. Due to these features, rock art is represented here much richer and more diverse than in other sites of the same type.

Bayanzhurek Petroglyphs are divided into two complexes: Bayan-Zhurek on the cliffs of the western tip of the Bayan-Zhurek ridge and Tasbas - on granite boulders in the eastern part of the ridge. Both those and other petroglyphs are included in the archaeological complex of the Upper Biena Valley.

The Bayan-Zhurek complex has about 2500 drawings in six groups located throughout the first two kilometers of the ridge at altitudes from 1600 to 1800 meters. Among the drawings there are many images of warrior-riders of the ancient Turkic period, some of the plots belong to the Hunnu-Sarmatian period.
