Qilian Mountains

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Qilian Mountains is a northern outlier of the Kunlun Mountains, forming the border between the Qinghai and the Gansu provinces of northern China. The range stretches from the south of Dunhuang some 800 km to the southeast, forming the northeastern escarpment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the southwestern border of the Gansu Corridor. The eponymous Qilian Shan peak, situated some 60 km south of Jiuquan, at 39°12 N 98°32 E / 39.2°N 98.533°E / 39.2; 98.533, rises to 5,547 m, constituting Gansu's highest elevation. It is the highest peak of the main range, but there are two higher peaks further south, Kangze'gyai at 38°30 N 97°43 E / 38.5°N 97.717°E / 38.5; 97.717 with 5,808 m and Qaidam Shan peak at 38°2 N 95°19 E / 38.033°N 95.317°E / 38.033; 95.317 with 5,759 m.
