Hoh Xil Shan

Hoh Xil Shan reaches an elevation of 5,123 meters and stands as a prominent peak within the extensive Kunlun Mountain range of western China.

The mountain region has remained largely unexplored throughout history due to its remote location and extreme weather conditions in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Local Tibetan communities maintain traditional herding practices in the surrounding areas, adapting their lifestyle to the mountain's challenging environment.

Visitors require specialized permits, high-altitude equipment, and proper acclimatization procedures to access the mountain summit due to its elevation and remote location.

The mountain area contains numerous endangered species, including the Tibetan antelope and wild yak, making it an important zone for wildlife preservation.
