Encyclopedic overview
Khüiten Peak (Mongolian: Хүйтэн оргил [ˈxʉe̯tʰɘ̆ɴ ˈœɾɞ̆ɟɪɬ]; lit. 'Cold Peak'), also known in China as Friendship Peak (Chinese: 友谊峰; pinyin: Yǒuyí Fēng), is a mountain peak in the Altai Range. The international border between China and Mongolia runs across its summit point, which, at 4,356 metres (14,291 ft), is the highest point in the Altais and the highest in both Mongolia and Altay Prefecture in Western China. The peak is covered in snow year-round.
In the past, Khüiten Peak was also officially known in Mongolia as the "Friendship Peak" (Mongolian: Найрамдал уул, pronounced [ˈnæe̯ɾə̆mtɬ ˈoːɬ]).
