For many, a trip to Khujand happens en route from Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan to the scenic Fann Mountains or Zeravshan Valley. But Tajikistan's second-largest city has charms of its own to offer those that stay for a spell, with a history spanning some 2,500 years. Not much remains of its ancient grandeur, but Khujand still exudes an interesting blend of prosperity and pride in its Soviet past--as evidenced by one of the few remaining Lenin statues. A tour of Khujand takes in the bustling market and its adjacent mosque, the ruins of a 10th-century fort, and a handful of pleasant public parks and monuments. The bigger highlights lie beyond the city, in explorations of the surrounding Ferghana Valley.
