Hüiten Peak (Mongolian: Хүйтэн оргил, lit. "cold peak", Chinese: 友誼峰; pinyin: Yǒu​yì​ Fēng, lit. "friendship peak") is the highest point in Mongolia, located in the far west of the country on the border with China. The Peak towers at the elevation of 4,374 m (14,350 feet, previously 4,356 m) under the permanent snow-cap. It is one of five peaks in the Tavan Bogd Mountain, which about 2.5 km further north marks the border tripoint-the Nairamdal Peak between Russia, Mongolia, and China. The first ascent of Khüiten Peak was occurred in 1963 by Mongolian mountaineers sponsored by the government.
