Xialong Rezha is a 5625 meters mountain in western Genyen Massif. It locates in the less-explored regions close to Tibet. Xialong Rezha means “A rocky place with big-horned animals”. From Litang (East) side of the mountains they have different name for Xialong Rezha. In Litang it is called Zedeng Haoma, along with Zedeng Bala and Zedeng Gongma are three brother gods guarding the western side of Genie.
The approach can either be from its east or its west. Former expeditions (in 2016 and 2017) were both conducted from its west side from a place called Batang, a small Tibetan town that is 3-day drive away from Chengdu and from Batang another 2-hour drive over the pass that is 5000-meter high and drop down to the village of Gemu. From the village to where the trail disappears is another 4-5 hours of walking by foot.
The east side takes long approach by foot via Retti Valley for around 15km.
