Xuelian Feng

Xuelian Feng rises to 6,627 meters in the Tian Shan mountain range, featuring five distinct summits with the north peak reaching the maximum elevation.

The first successful ascent of Xuelian Feng occurred on August 19, 1990, when eight Japanese mountaineers reached the peak after multiple previous attempts.

The mountain's name translates to Snow Lotus Peak, referring to the white flowers growing in the surrounding Xinjiang province mountain slopes.

Mountaineers accessing Xuelian Feng typically approach from the Karakume Glacier, traversing a two-kilometer ridge of snow and rock to reach the main summit.

The mountain ranks as the 84th highest in the world for topographic prominence, with a dramatic 3,068-meter rise above the surrounding valleys.
