White Stone Peak is located south of Qapqal County, at a straight-line distance of 48 kilometers, with convenient transportation accessible via the Yicheng-Zhaosu Highway.
The main peak stands at an elevation of 3,475 meters. White Stone Peak is a prominent summit along the ridgeline of the Wusun Mountains. The mountain features a majestic presence, ever-changing weather patterns, and three peaks standing in close succession, aligned roughly from east to west. The peak area has rugged terrain, surrounded by steep cliffs, especially on the northern slope, while the summit is relatively open. The peak area rises abruptly with exposed grayish-white limestone, forming a white-capped summit. This peak is composed of Carboniferous limestone, appearing grayish-white from a distance, hence the name “White Stone Peak.”
