'''Korday''' or '''Kordoy''' ({{langx|kk|Қордай|translit=Qordai}}, {{IPA|kk|qwʊɾˈdɑj|pron}}; {{langx|ky|Кордой}}) is a village in [Jambyl Region](/source/Jambyl_Region) of Kazakhstan, and the administrative center of that region's [Korday District](/source/Korday_District).  It has been formerly known under its old Russian name of '''Georgievka'''.

[European route E40](/source/European_route_E40), known locally as Highway M-39 (based on the old [USSR](/source/USSR) highway numbering scheme), on its way from [Bishkek](/source/Bishkek) to [Almaty](/source/Almaty) crosses the [Chu River](/source/Chu_River) at Korday, making Korday border crossing arguably the most important crossing on the Kazakh-[Kyrgyz](/source/Kyrgyzstan) border. (The Kazakhstan point of entry is known as Korday, while its counterpart on the Kyrgyz side is called Akjol, or Akjol-[Shu](/source/Chu_River)). Buses, [passenger vans](/source/minivans), and taxis take passengers from the Kyrgyz side of the crossing to Bishkek and from the Kazakh side to the railway junction of [Shu](/source/Shu%2C_Jambyl), while others go directly between Bishkek and Almaty through the Korday checkpoint. Trucks carry goods, mostly Chinese imports, from Bishkek's [Dordoy Bazaar](/source/Dordoy_Bazaar) to Kazakhstan and further on to Russia.

Incidents of truckers [ford](/source/ford_(crossing))ing the Chu River away from the bridge, to circumvent the customs, have been reported as well.<ref>[http://www.iwpr.net/?p=rca&s=f&o=162097&apc_state=henirca2004 Kazakhstan: Smugglers Target Open Border]
