Dostyk (Kazakh: Достық) or Druzhba (Russian: Дружба) is a small town in Kazakhstan's Almaty Region, on the border with Xinjiang, China. It is a port of entry (by highway and railroad) from China. The rail portion serves as an important link in the Eurasian Land Bridge. It is situated in the Dzungarian Gate, a historically significant mountain pass.
The agreement between the Soviet Union and the PRC to connect Kazakhstan with Western China by rail was achieved in 1954. On the Soviet side, the railway reached the border town of Druzhba (Dostyk) (whose names, both Russian and Kazakh, mean 'friendship' in each respective language) in 1959. On the Chinese side, however, the westward construction of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway was stopped once it reached Urumqi in 1962. Due to the Sino-Soviet Split, the border town remained a sleepy backwater for some 30 years, until the railway link was finally completed on September 12, 1990.
The port of entry on the Chinese side is Alashankou.

In the bag was a razor made for delicate skin
Shaved the peach fuzz, but only on my cheeks and chin
Now I'm rockin' the stache (I'm rockin' the stache)
Everyday you can watch it grow
Now I'm rockin' the stache (I'm rockin' the stache)
All this time finally you know
What lips are for, no one can ignore the stache
It's a big school, I think about if Tom went here
We'd be so cool, double dating at the prom next year
We'd be rockin' the stache (I'm rockin' the stache)
Tender hearts, breaking one by one
We'd be rockin' the stache (I'm rockin' the stache)
Ladies please, there's room for everyone
Who wants a try, no one dares deny the stache
Men of action all that matters is the bottom line
Grow a nice one and get ready for your time to shine
Keep on rockin' the stache (I'm rockin' the stache)
Strain the world, let the good stuff in
Keep on rockin' the stache (I'm rockin' the stache)
Make *your stand, celebrate the skin
