Haba Xueshan (Chinese: 哈巴雪山; pinyin: Hābā Xǔeshān; literally: "Haba Snow Mountain") is a mountain rising above the northwest side of Tiger Leaping Gorge in Yunnan, China. It rises opposite the higher Yulong Xueshan, and towers 3,500 metres above the Golden Sand River, or Jinsha River, a tributary of the Yangtze. The summit of the mountain is a popular destination for amateur mountaineers.
