The Whitest City on Earth

Ashgabat holds the Guinness record for the highest density of white marble buildings — over 540 of them, faced with roughly 4.5 million square metres of imported marble. It was rebuilt largely from scratch after a 1948 earthquake destroyed almost everything.

The clock: Ashgabat keeps UTC+5. The Darvaza gas crater, burning since 1971 a few hours north, is the country's other well-known light source.
