Khüiten Peak
Khüiten Peak is the highest peak with 4,356 m above sea level and a permanent snow cap in the Altai Range, the international border between China and Mongolia runs across its summit point. It is also the highest point of Mongolia and Altay Prefecture in Western China.
In the past, Khüiten Peak was officially known as the "Friendship Peak".
Khüiten Peak is one of five peaks of Tavan Bogd mountain. Another peak, which is about 2.5 km north of Khüiten, marks the border tripoint between Russia, Mongolia, and China; the name of that peak is given in international agreements and on maps as Tavan Bogd Peak, or Mount Kuitun.
Some sources, however, associate the name Nairamdal Peak with the peak at the border tripoint.
The first known ascent of Khüiten Peak was in 1963 by Mongolian mountaineers sponsored by the government.
