thanx artur
you have clearly hit the china kazakh kirghiz triarea here
& possibly also as far southwest as the china kirghiz tajik area
since this tien shan range trends southwest & northeast
so thats possibly 2 birds with one stone
but dropping still farther south
down by the wakhan corridor & along the afghan china border
i believe the mountains there are usually called pamirs
