Tenshir (Zhenian: 텐시르, Balakhaat: ᠲᠡᠩᠰᠢᠷ), formally the City of Tenshir (Zhenian: 텐시르시, Balakhaat: ᠲᠧᠨᠰᠢᠷ ᠬᠣᠲᠠ), is the provincial capital of Zhenia's Karavankon Province, as well as the province's second most populous city. Situated at the northern edge of the Balakhaat Plateau, it started out as a planned city to replace the aging city of Jingaraat as the new capital of the province in the late 1980s. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in Zhenia today, due to extensive developments in petroleum and rare earth mineral mines in the province; it is expected to surpass Jingaraat to become the province's largest city by 2025.
