'''Sauyr Zhotasy''' ({{lang-kk|Сауыр жотасы}}), also known as '''Muz Tau''' ({{zh|s=木斯岛山|p=Mùsīdǎo Shān}}), is the highest point in the [[Saur (mountain range)|Saur Range]], and of the entire Saur-[[Tarbagatai Mountains|Tarbagatai]] mountain system, part of the [[Tien Shan]], on the [[China-Kazakhstan border|border]] between [[Kazakhstan]] and [[China]]. It lies {{convert|100|km|mi|-1}} southeast of [[Zaysan Lake]]. Despite its low elevation, it is well separated from higher ranges in its area (the Saur-Tarbagatai System being separated from the [[Altai Mountains]] by the [[Irtysh River]] valley, and from the [[Dzungarian Alatau]], by the [[Dzungarian Gate]]); it is therefore ranked highly by [[topographic prominence]].

No recorded ascents have come to light and it is potentially one of the [[Highest unclimbed mountain|most prominent unclimbed peaks]].
