About
Xuelian Feng, also spelled Xuelian Peak or Snow Lotus Peak, is one of the major mountains of the Tian Shan mountain range. It lies in Xinjiang province, China, about 50 kilometres (30 mi) east-northeast of Jengish Chokusu, the highest peak in the range. It is notable for its large, steep relief above the nearby valleys, and for its large topographic prominence, ranking 84th by this measure. However, it ranks considerably lower by elevation. The mountain has five summits, with the highest being the north summit at 6,627 m (21, 742 ft); the south summit has an elevation of 6,527 m (21, 414 ft).
