Seylan is a steppe city in the north of Kazakhstan, located in the hinterland of the vast Saryarka steppe, about 300 kilometers away from the capital Astana. The city is known for its deep nomadic culture and unique natural landscape, and is surrounded by a wide range of pastures, where animal husbandry is the core pillar of the local economy.
