Amne Machin, Sacred mountain summit in Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, China.
Mount Amnye Machen reaches an elevation of 6,282 meters, forming the highest point of a mountain range in southeastern Qinghai province.
The first successful ascent to the true summit occurred in May 1981 by a Japanese expedition team, following an earlier incomplete climb in 1960.
The mountain holds deep religious significance in Tibetan Buddhism as the residence of Machen Pomra, the principal indigenous deity of the Amdo region.
Visitors require specific permits and group visas to access the area, while proper acclimatization remains essential due to the extreme altitude conditions.
The Yellow River changes its course dramatically around the Amnye Machen range, flowing hundreds of kilometers before turning northwest through the region.
