Mount Little Xuebaoding (Chinese: 雪宝顶; lit. 'Snowy Treasure Peak'; Tibetan name:Shar Dung Ri) is a mountain near the easternmost edge of the Tibetan Plateau in China. With an elevation of 5,443 metres (17,858 ft), it is the second highest peak of the Min Mountains and the easternmost 5,000 m (16,400 ft) or higher peak on Earth.

Little Xuebaoding was first climbed in May 2012 by an International team: Karim Adouane (France), Linda Eketoft (Sweden), Jon Otto (USA), Asu (China).

The sample localities are generally referred to as Xuebaoding (Sichuan Province, China) situated northwest of the Longmen Shan range, at the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau, at elevations of 3900–4200 m. The locality is named after the mountain Xuebaoding (‘Snow Treasure Crown’, Tibetan name: Shar Dung Ri, elevation 5,588 m), the highest peak of the Minshan range. However, Xuebaoding mountain itself is 5.3 km to the NW of the locality, and not visible from the locality, separated by several high ridges and the mountain Sigenxiangfeng (5,360 m). Instead, the peak visible to the immediate NW, is Little Xuebaoding (5,443 m) and situated above the valley to the western terminus of the locality area. The confusion between the two peaks, including confusion about the first ascents of these mountains persisted well into the 1980s, and until today by the local population, as a reflection of the complex topography and extreme relative relief of up to 4,000 m between the valley floors and adjacent peaks, with many of similar altitude.
