Khanty-Mansiysk (Russian: Ха́нты-Манси́йск) is a city on the eastern bank of the Irtysh River in Siberia, Russia. An oil boom town, it is today the administrative center of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. The city covers 250.1 sq km (96.6 sq mi) and has a population of 79,500 people (2012 estimate).

Khanty-Mansiysk was only established in 1930. Originally called Ostyako-Vogulsk, it was renamed Khanty-Mansiysk in 1940, and was given town status when it merged with the village of Samarovo in 1950.

Wealth from petroleum has propelled the development of Khanty-Mansiysk. In 2007, it planned the building of the 280-meter (920 ft) Crystal Skyscraper. Designed by British architect Norman Foster, it will become one of the tallest buildings in Russia outside Moscow when completed.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
