Kongur Tagh ( Kongkoerh, Gōnggé'ěr Fēng )

 is the highest mountain in the Xinjiang Region of China

Kongur Tagh is located to the north of Mustagh Ata

Kongur was not discovered
until 1900 by Europeans

 due to its remoteness and being hidden by nearby peaks.

 However it has now become more accessible

through the building of the Karakorum Highway

 from Pakistan to China

passing close to Tashkurgan and Karakul Lake.
