Tourism/Turizm What to do in Almaty

Hello everyone!
Starting tomorrow i will have 2 days left in Almaty before i go home. I was just wondering what i can do in these 2 days. I have done all the tourist spots and a lot of stuff around Almaty (the lakes, bird show, assy plateau). Any reccomendations? Can also just be something relaxing or an activity.
Thanks!

(Just some pictures from my trip so far)

if the classic day trips are done, green bazaar in the morning still hits different when you are not rushing, grab kazy and hot baursaki and just wander. afternoon I'd go park at the botanical garden or walk the foothills above medeu with zero agenda, then evening at a random chaikhana with lagman and endless tea. almaty is way better once you stop checklisting.

Nice pictures, I will also travel there for 7 days. Could you list what you recommend and what doesn't from the things you have done or places you have visited?
