Yuzhu Peak

Yuzhu Peak is a mountain summit in the eastern Kunlun Mountains at 6,224 meters elevation. The peak displays snow-covered slopes and glacial formations that remain visible throughout the year.

The construction of the Qingzang Highway and Railway transformed access to this region. These infrastructure projects connected the remote area to major cities and brought increased visitors to the mountain.

Local communities call this peak Sob Gangri, a name rooted in Tibetan tradition. This naming reflects how people in the region connect to the landscape through language passed down over time.

Climbers can access the summit on established routes that are safest during summer months when weather permits. It is important to monitor weather conditions closely, as they can change rapidly at this elevation.

This mountain ranks as the third highest peak in Qinghai Province and is visible from the regional highway and railway that pass nearby. This visibility from modern transportation routes makes it a recognizable landmark for many travelers.
