Sauyr Zhotasy

At 3,840 meters, Sauyr Zhotasy, also known as Muz Tau (Chinese: ; pinyin: Mùsdo Shn), is the highest peak in the Saur Range and the entire Saur-Tarbagatai mountain chain, which is part of the Tien Shan, on the Kazakhstan-China border.

Sauyr Zhotasy's around 60 miles southeast of Zaysan Lake, at a distance of 100 kilometers. Despite its low elevation, the Saur-Tarbagatai System is well separated from higher ranges in the area (the Saur-Tarbagatai System is separated from the Altai Mountains by the Irtysh River valley, and from the Dzungarian Alatau by the Dzungarian Gate); it is thus ranked highly by topographic prominence.

Ed Hannam and his colleagues made two documented ascents to Sauyr Zhotasy sub-summits in 2017 and 2018, however there have been no official ascents to the main summit recorded.
