Zhelelgezhzhae is world renowned for its book-buying, and it doesn't get better than Zhozhlunä.
Believers gather at this temple to pray to the god Zhäha, who is depicted as a ball of fire for good fortune and health.

Hozhhohohdjpü is a relaxing restaurant in a welcoming environment. It offers excellent Sepäzhaeian-style food. The "hapydjoh" (a stew made with djepo and a vegetable called llego) is hard to beat.
This simple seven-table place offers excellent breakfasts and gets packed by lunchtime -- and rightly so. The "gohzhapzho" (a wrap made with lamb and a vegetable called llego) is a killer (not literally!).
Hozhzhazhetat is a rather dark and seedy place to say the least, but within its brick walls you'll get a great range of local dishes.
The official language of Zhelelgezhzhae is Pohla. You are unlikely to find any English speakers in Zhelelgezhzhae, so at least a general knowledge of Pohla will go a long way.

Zheñchaeg are tiny, brown birds with striking red beaks that have regional dialects and accents. They are considered a pest.
With its rich soil and arctic climate, Zhelelgezhzhae is the home to some delicious native produce. Be sure to try Zhalowzho, a spiky fruit with small, crunchy seeds. The peel is light red and has an intensely astringent flavor. The flesh is goopy, mottled yellow-on-red and intensely sweet, with sticky juice.
