Which mountain range contains Ulugh Muztagh, one of the highest summits of the Kunlun system?

The story behind the answer

The Kunlun Mountains contain Ulugh Muztagh, one of the highest summits of the Kunlun system.

Ulugh Muztagh, also written Ulugh Muztag, is a remote peak in the central Kunlun Mountains of Tibet. Its elevation has been reported at approximately 6,973 metres, although the mountain’s isolation and difficult access have made surveying and climbing challenging.

The Kunlun Mountains form one of the major mountain systems of Central Asia and extend along the northern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. They are often confused with the Himalayas, which lie farther south. The Kunlun also includes Liushi Shan, generally cited as its highest summit at 7,167 metres.
