Tyan'-Shan' is a raion (district) of Naryn Province in central-southern Kyrgyzstan. The capital lies at Naryn. [ [http://enrin.grida.no/htmls/kyrghiz/soe2/english/map/map3.htm Enrin.grida.no] ] :

The population is 98% Kyrgyz, discounting the Russian army presence along the border.

The district is characterized by the scenic Tian Shan Mountains , alpine pastures and Son-Kul lake which during summer months attracts large herds of sheep and horses with their herders and their yurts.

Economy

The economy of Naryn oblast is dominated by animal herding (sheep, horses, yaks), with wool and meat as the main products. Mining of various minerals developed during the Soviet era has largely been abandoned as uneconomical. Today the area is considered to be the poorest region in the country.
