Total area of Cinara’s is 8 hectares. The restaurant is surrounded with rocks and century old plane trees. According to some facts, over 2,000 years ago there was chaihana and Alexander Macedonsky planned strategy for Indian campaign. In 1917, Osipov’s rebels were hiding from Bolsheviks. The place received its name from descendants of prophet, who were named Hoji. That’s why it was named Hojikent (place of saints).
According to some legends, two famous plane trees were planted by miracle man, pilgrim and hero Hoja Ahrar (1404-1489). He constructed mosques and madrasahs in Samarkand, Bukhara, Herat and Kabul. In line with some data, the ages of plane trees are over 800 years.
One of the plane trees is named by people as Five Brothers as five trunks grow from one root and branched out to various sides. The second tree is named Ona Chinar (Mother plane tree). It is required to make 30 steps to go around the tree. There is stream with clean mountain water around plane trees.
There are also petroglyphs – pictures on rocks, which show first human talents.
