Mount Emei

Partial calque from Mandarin 峨眉山 (Éméi Shān).

As his most significant contribution to the vast body of art he emulated, Chang effected a synthesis of two historical modes, the austere tonal ink style of the scholar-artist painter and the brightly colored, vibrantly detailed style of the court artist. The two are joined in his depiction of Mount Emei, a Buddhist pilgrimage site that Chang visited many times.

The land border is 636 miles long (1,025 km), most of it with China but the last 11 miles of it at the eastern end, with Russia.

The Tuman and Yalu rivers dividing Korea and China source from one mountain, Mt Paektu. This volcanic mass of frozen lava smashed out from the wide, elevated planes of dense forest and bogs surrounding it over a million years ago, and has a powerful spiritual symbolism for the Korean people, as indicated in the local tourist literature:[...]Paektu is the backdrop for many of the almighty mosaics and paintings seen across Korea, and its significance for all Koreans is evinced by the dominance of South Koreans in the thriving tourist industry on the Chinese side of the mountain.

Cho Oyu

I had a good view of the glacier from here : the East side is very steep and broken, with several tributary glaciers flowing down from Cho Oyu and Pk. 25,909, and from a 23,000-foot Peak (not triangulated) to the North of the latter.

1922, E. O. Wheeler, “Appendix II: The Photographic Survey”, in Mount Everest: The Reconnaissance, 1921, Longmans, Green and Co., →OCLC, →OL, page 332:

This may seem a strange and unprofessional way of beginning the story of the ascent of a 26,000-foot mountain, but it was not just the wish to conquer a high peak that turned our thoughts to Cho Oyu; it was the longing for the boundless peace of evening such as these.
"Next year, Cho Oyu?" Pasang asked.
"Cho Oyu," I agreed.
Adjiba brought the fried liver of the goat.
"We go for Cho Oyu," Pasang told him.
"Aha," Adjiba said, cutting a cucumber into thin slices.
That's how we decided to attack the seventh highest mountain in the world.

1957 [1955], Herbert Tichy, “Turquoise Goddess”, in Basil Creighton, transl., Cho Oyu: Gnade der Götter by Ullstein Verlag [Cho Oyu: By Favour of the Gods], London: Methuen & Co, →OCLC, page 14:

Tingri lies at the edge of a vast plain. There are great views of the Himalayan giants to the south, assuming there's no cloud cover. Everest, or the uppermost part of it, is visible to the far left, but from this distance it doesn't look like a mammoth. However, Cho Oyu, straight ahead, looks stunning. It's worth taking a short hike to the south of Tingri for better views; another viewpoint is from the top of the hill above the village, where there are some old fort ruins.

When approached from the Tibet side, Cho Oyu is the safest of the 14 peaks. But Harila and her team had been forced to attempt it from the Nepal side because their visas and permits to enter Tibet had never been approved by the Chinese government. And even if they did accomplish this groundbreaking ascension of Cho Oyu, they would have no way to access the mission’s final peak as the Shishapangma mountain is entirely within Tibet.

Mazartag

Borrowed from Uyghur مازارتاغ (mazartagh).

In the course of marine incursion and sedimentation, the sea only reached the Wuqia area during the late Eocene, but in Palaeocene - middle Eocene, marine conditions extended eastwards into the desert of the Mazartag area, and southwards, probably into the Aqqik area of Lop.

1996, Zhou Zhiyi, W. T. Dean, editors, Phanerozoic Geology of Northwest China, Beijing: Science Press, →OCLC, page 125:

Several small mountain ranges and chains, composed of sandstones and clays of Cenozoic age (i.e., formed within about the past 65 million years), rise in the western part of the desert. The arc-shaped Mazartag Mountains, located between the Hotan and Yarkand (Ye’erqiang) river valleys, arch toward the southwest.

2011, “Major and Other Notable Deserts of the World”, in John P. Rafferty, editor, Deserts and Steppes, 1st edition, Encyclopedia Britannica, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 106:

Two days later I was in the middle of the Taklamakan desert. I had driven there, along a new road that cuts past a major landmark, the low lying ridge of the Mazartag mountains that come to an abrupt end at the Hetian river. There’s a ruined Tibetan fort on the top of the mountains’ end, overlooking the river. It dates from the 18th century when the Tibetan empire stretched northwards to the Tianshan mountains. Below the fort was the site of a resupply point from the expedition. I wanted to show my children.[...]
We had an eventful drive through a blinding sandstorm, a couple of police checkpoints, and then along a sandy track off the main road that was too much for the car. We dug it out. Then the rain began—rain, in the desert. We set up camp and cooked supper. The wind had died to nothing. It was a beautiful evening. In the west the Mazartag ridge glowed red in the setting sun.

Quarentena

We went up mount Quarantena in company with ſome eccleſiaſticks, having an Arabian for our guide. Formerly the Arabians concealed themſelves in the cavities of this mountain, and would not ſuffer the Franks to come up; but at preſent the fathers of the Holy Land pay ten piaſters per annum caphar, or paſſage-money, and thus have free acceſs to the ſummit of it. The aſcent is very toilſome, being moſtly up a rock, that without aſſiſtance it would ſcarce be practicable in ſome places.

1883, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, page 234:

On the 22nd of January a single bird was seen to pass low over Mount Kellett. Over the western slopes it was attacked and mobbed by four Kites as it crossed their nesting ground, and the five birds wheeled round one another for two or three minutes; the Eagle occasionally giving a series of seven or eight yelps, while the Kites were screaming with rage. The pursuit was abandoned as the Eagle passed over High West.

We paused at High West — the westernmost point of the trail — where a small park provides a perfect rest stop. From here the path turns south toward the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir.

1906, Hong Kong. Botanical, Forestry Department, Annual Report of the Forestry Department of Hong Kong, page 9:

To the north of Kowloon Peak the ridge dips and rises to Middle Hill and Tate's Cairn, then bends sharply to the west and continues over Temple Hill, Lion Rock and Beacon Hill.

The first installation was a Decca storm warning radar with a maximum range of 250 nautical miles based on top of Tate's Cairn. This equipment was used for nearly 20 years, until June 1979.

Of all the sights in the world, few can compare with a place Dave and I discovered called Tate's Cairn, a modest hill back in the New Territories whose summit commanded a majestic oversight of the then colony.

Uncertain, however most attempts at derivation suggest 𐰚𐰇𐰚 (kök, “blue”) + 𐰢𐰤 (-men, “deadjectival nominal suffix”), although historical forms of such a derivation point toward *kökmen with -k- not -g-.
Some older sources suggest that the word had meant the Sayan Mountains, however Aydın states that it'd be far too westward and instead suggests that it meant Tannu-Ola Mountains instead.
