The Crown, also known as Huang Guan Shan and sometimes Crown Peak, is a mountain in the Karakoram mountain range in China. It is located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. About 42 kilometers from Chogori Peak. Its summit has an elevation of 7,295 metres (23,934 ft) and it is the highest peak in the Yengisogat subrange of the Karakoram.^[1]

A detailed account of the unsuccessful British military summit attempt (1987), was written by Hugh McManners entitled "Crowning the Dragon", published by HarperCollins in 1989 ISBN 0586204253.

The summit was first climbed in 1993 by a Japanese expedition of the Tōkai branch of the Japanese Alpine Club. Three groups of climbers reached the summit on July 27, 28, and 29.^[3][4]
