    What is the highest mountain in China?

    Question #41294. Asked by shady shaker. (Nov 19 03 8:11 AM)


    markklein199

    		Is the question looking for the highest mountain solely within China? And does Tibet count (since it is techinically still part of China)? The highest mountain in Tibet is Mount Everest, which straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet. K2 is the highest mountain in China, it straddles the border between Pakistan and China. The highest mountain solely within China (if Tibet is included) is Shishma Pangma. The highest mountain solely within China proper is Kungur.


    The last two mountains are also referred to as Xixabangma and Kongur Tagh, respectively.
