But the latest have a special quality - of challenging Turkmenistan's desert environment.As well as the ice palace, there is to be a vast aquarium. The projects tend now to be sites of recreation for the people, like a Disney-style theme park instead of state palaces.That is in keeping with Mr Niyazov's image as a servant of his people, who lays on every sort of amenity for them.
目前，他正在建造一座清真寺，其規模之大，位居世界前列，他還下令建造了一系列傳統宮殿。但是，最近要修建的這座宮殿有些特殊，它向土庫曼斯坦的沙漠氣候發出了挑戰。除了冰雪宮殿外，還要建一座巨大的水族館。這些項目像迪斯尼的主題公園一樣，將成為人們消遣娛樂的場所，而不是國家宮殿。
Ice palaces were popular in the Soviet Union, to which Turkmenistan once belonged, but they were built in the freezing cities of the north, far away.The Turkmen mountains are relatively high, but it is hard to imagine the palace remaining frozen without some sort of technical help.
這正符合尼亞佐夫人民公仆的形象。他一直致力于為人民提供各種生活福利。冰雪宮殿在前蘇聯非常流行（土庫曼斯坦曾屬于前蘇聯），可它們大都建在地凍天寒的遙遠的北方城市。土庫曼山的海拔相對來說比較高，但是如果沒有一定的技術支持，很難想象宮殿能夠一直保持冰凍的狀態。
