How to read this map
The highest point of the Kunlun Mountains is Liushi Shan, 7,167 m (23,514 ft) above sea level. The range is about 3,000 km (1,860 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the Kunlun Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Lahore, Lanzhou, Rawalpindi, Ludhiana, Gujranwala, Abbottabad, Xining and Jalandhar. Labeled countries: Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Kunlun Mountains come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Kunlun Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
