WHAT DOES TIEN SHAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tien Shan

Tian Shan

The Tian Shan, also spelled Tien Shan, is a large system of mountain ranges located in Central Asia. The highest peak in the Tian Shan is Victory Peak, 7,439 metres. Local names for the ranges include: 天山, Хан Тәңірі, Теңир-Тоо, Тэнгэр уул and تەڭرى تاغ. The Chinese name for Tian Shan may be derived from the Xiongnu language name Qilian, which was described by Sima Qian in the Records of the Grand Historian as the homeland of the pre-Xiongnu peoples of the region, the Yuezhi, and has been said to refer to the Tian Shan rather than to the range 1,500 kilometres further east now known by this name. The nearby Tannu-Ola Mountains bear the same name.
