Liushi Shan

Liushi Shan is a mountain summit in the Kunlun range, located between Tibet and Xinjiang in western China. The peak rises to approximately 7,167 meters and represents one of the major high-altitude formations in this vast chain.

This mountain remains largely unexplored and has no record of successful ascents to date. Its remote location and extreme altitude have kept it isolated from climbing expeditions for many years.

The name references Chinese mythology and the reverence local people hold for high mountain peaks as sacred places in nature. This kind of naming reflects how mountains have been woven into spiritual beliefs across the region.

Climbers attempting this peak need extensive preparation and acclimatization for extreme altitude. The best window for expeditions falls between May and September when weather conditions are relatively stable.

The peak stands out with a prominence of approximately 1,947 meters above its surroundings. Its nearest higher neighbor is more than 288 kilometers away, making this one of the most isolated summits in the region.
