💡 The memorial is just behind the town hall — pair this with a walk along the nearby canal path for a quiet 20-minute stroll.
💡 Ask the attendant to unlock the back room — it holds a small collection of Samanid-era pottery not on public display.
💡 Go early (08:00) to see the livestock section behind the hall — sheep and goats are traded by traditional auction. No photography without asking first.
💡 Come around 18:00 when families gather — you can buy roasted nuts and sunflower seeds from a vendor near the main gate.
💡 The hill is unshaded and dusty — wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Best visited in late afternoon for photos in golden light.
