WHAT IS THE BORDER ZONE IN KYRGYZSTAN?

Most of unique and untouchable places located in the border area between Kyrgyzstan, China and Kazakhstan. These territories become a border zone under the agreement between countries. For example China and Kyrgyzstan established a border strip 50 km from the main border. It was even during USSR times when relations between countries were tense. In each border zone there are military check points where they guard the border and check everyone who enters and exits. Without permit, they won't let anyone in, even locals.
