People's Online Daily said:

Shenxianwan, 5,380 meters above the sea level, is the highest-altitude PLA border post.

It is located in the middle of Karakoram Mountains, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

In September 1982, the Central Military Commission awarded Shenxianwan the honorary title "Steel Border Post in Karakoram"

This is extremely high...well over 17,500 feet. No wonder in the one picture you see the personnel with Oxygen.

Tough duty station/post that.

Couple of more pictures from Shenxianwan:

I see the horses ( mules ? ) used among vegetation. I wonder to what altitude these animals are used.
Also I expect the neighbours, India, Pakistan, still use animals but to what extend?
