Description
The Bogda Mountain is a part of the Eastern Tian Shan Mountain Range located in Xinjiang. The highest peak of the mountain is the Bogda Peak at 5448 meters above sea level. Although the elevation is not considered to be very high, the severe slope leading to the peak at 70 to 80 degree angles makes the peak a challenge to mountaineering experts of the world. It was not until 1981, that mankind was able to successfully reached the peak.
