Kryuchkov drew a general plan of the city of Belotsarsk (fund 123, inventory 2, file 21), which can still be seen in the layout of central Kyzyl today.

In May 1914, the head of the Russian population in Uryankhai approved the draft rules on the allotment of land plots and the organization of a committee for the improvement of the future city.

The very first plots were allocated for houses of officials, administration, homes of honorary Uryankhs, a treasury, post and telegraph offices, and the state fire shed.

Grigoriev, wrote a letter to the Head of the Russian population in the Uryankhay Krai, requesting that a museum be constructed in the city of Belotsarsk (fund 123, inventory 2, file 53, sheets 25–26).

[10][11] At the IV Uryankhay Regional Congress on March 11, 1918, a decree was issued to rename Belotsarsk to Uryankhaysk.

The 10th Congress of Representatives of the Russian Population of Tuva (16–20 September 1920) gathered in the village of Turan, in the Uryankhai region.

In 1924, the Tuvan Central Cooperative (Tuvintsenkoop, TCC) was formed, which played a significant role in the development of industrial production and domestic and foreign trade.

In Kyzyl, enterprises for the processing of agricultural raw materials were organized, and in 1928, a shoemaker's workshop opened.

In the early 1940s, a mill, a sawmill, a power station and a brick factory operated in Kyzyl, and sheepskin and fur production began.

Tos-Bulak is an area of open fields and mineral springs which lies immediately south of Kyzyl.

Located far from any moderating bodies of water and at a relatively high latitude, temperatures can be extreme, though less so than in the Sakha Republic.

In winter, the air in the basin stagnates and cools under the influence of the Siberian anticyclone, forming a powerful temperature inversion.

The daytime thaws that begin in March lead to a rapid decline of snow cover by the end of the month.

At the end of October, before the snow cover is established, the average daily temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F), which makes it impossible to grow winter crops, and many fruits and berries.

Since the center of the Asian maximum atmospheric pressure (Siberian anticyclone) is located above Tuva in the cold season, and Kyzyl is located at the bottom of a deep basin (compared to the mountains surrounding it) with a dense atmosphere, up to the level of planetary winds to heights of 2 to 2.5 km (1.2 to 1.6 mi), in winter a powerful inversion is observed over the city.

The temperature at an altitude of 2 km (1.2 mi) above the city can be 15 to 20 °C (27 to 36 °F) degrees higher than at the surface of the earth.

Almost from the end of October to the beginning of March, there is windless, often clear weather, leading to strong smog gathering over the city and the basin.

The airport provides regular flights to Moscow, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, as well as to remote locales of Tuva.

It depicts grandiose figures of eastern dragons and a high stele, surrounded by symbolic animals intertwined in a rush of ascent to the sky.

The installation was built as a model of the universe, where the roles of stars and planets are assigned to yurts of different sizes and purposes.

Although the yurts are decorated as authentic as possible to the Uralic way of life, Aldyn-Bulak has all the amenities, including places for tourists to stay, a restaurant, a sauna, a parking lot.

There are more than 20 streams and springs, and the water is collected in small natural and handmade bowls or spreads.

The festival arose in line with the idea of restoring a ruined Buddhist temple in Chadan.

Participants stay in a tent city constructed near the temple, and are able to listen to numerous performers from various diverse traditions.

The festival program traditionally includes competitions among throat singing performers and the consecration ceremony "Ovaa khoomei".

[clarification needed] Naadym is a Tuvan national holiday of shepherds, held annually in mid-August.

In the late 1980s, Kyzyl was visited by Ralph Leighton, who had made it a quest to reach Tuva with his friend, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.

The film Genghis Blues chronicles the pilgrimage of a blind blues performer, Paul Pena, who learned Tuvan throat singing by listening to his shortwave radio, to compete in the Tuvan throat singing competition.
