Bogda Feng (simplified Chinese: 博格达峰; pinyin: Bógédá fẽng; cf. Mongolian: Bogd Uul, sometimes referred to as Mount Bogda) is the highest mountain in the Bogda Shan range, in the eastern Tien Shan mountains, China, at 5,445 m (17,864 ft). Its sides slope at angles of between 70° and 80°, which helps to explain why it was not successfully climbed until 1981.
