About

Bukadaban Feng or Buka Daban Feng (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Bùkā Dábǎn Fēng), Syn Qing Feng (pinyin: Xīn Qīng Fēng) or Bokalik Tagh (pinyin: Bókǎléikè Tǎgé Shān), is a remote peak on the border between Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang and Qinghai province of China. The Chinese term 'Bukadaban Feng' is borrowed from the Uyghur for "bison peak". It is part of the Kunlun Mountains of East-Central Asia. At 6,860 metres (22, 507 ft) – the height 7,720 metres (25, 328 ft) on older maps was incorrect – Bukadaban Feng is the highest point of the Qinghai province and with a prominence of 1,922 metres (6, 306 ft), it is also an ultra prominent peak. The peak is considered part of Hoh Xil.
