Haba Xueshan

Haba Xueshan rises 5,396 meters above sea level, forming a natural boundary between the upper Yangtze River and the Tiger Leaping Gorge landscape.

The first mountaineering team reached the summit in 1995, establishing a route that numerous expeditions have since followed through technical glacier sections.

The name originates from the Naxi language meaning golden flower, while local Tibetan communities regard the mountain as a sacred natural element.

Climbers initiate their ascent from Haba village at 2,700 meters, progressing through base camp at 4,150 meters before attempting the final summit push.

The mountain contains multiple ecological zones ranging from temperate forests to permanent snow fields, creating distinct environmental conditions at different elevations.
