Mount Everest

Mount Everest (Jo-mo glang-ma), also known as Mount Everest, is located in the Himalayas at the border between the People's Republic of China and Nepal. It is covered with snow all year round. It is the highest peak in the world (the highest peak in the solar system is Mount Olympus on Mars, which is 27,000 meters above sea level). In Tibetan, "Jo-mo glang-ma ri" means "Mother Earth". In Tibetan, "Jo-mo" means goddess, and "glang-ma" should be understood as female elephant (in Tibetan, glang-ma has two meanings: alpine willow and female elephant). Mythology says that Mount Everest is the palace where the five goddesses of longevity (tshe-ring mched lnga) live.

The memorial stone here is a must-see for most people to take photos, but for me, it is not so important. What is important is that I am standing at the foot of Mount Everest. It is a bit ironic that Mount Everest is not as high as imagined when viewed from here, as if the highest point in the world is within easy reach at any time.

I was delighted that my cell phone still had a signal here. I sent a video chat to my family. I just wanted to share everything with them! Mrs. Liu shouted, we are at the top of the world! As an ordinary person, I may not be able to climb Mount Everest in this life, but as a person who likes to travel, my life is complete when I come to Mount Everest. Mount Everest, which was so far away from me and so close to me, is now in front of me. Her magnificence and sacredness will touch your heart, and you will understand the true meaning of human insignificance!

It is really amazing that when you look up at the sky at night, you can actually see the Milky Way with your naked eyes.

Even in September, the temperature on Mount Everest has reached below zero at night. Coupled with the thin oxygen, the zero degree on Mount Everest is incomparable to the city where I have lived for many years. We started to go out before five o'clock, but the car was already frosted. When we looked up at the sky while warming up the car, the stars were twinkling all over the sky.

There was not a single cloud on Mount Everest in the morning. Mount Everest was particularly peaceful and sacred in the night. At around 6 o'clock, a faint beam of light shone on the top of Mount Everest. The white snow reflected an orange-red luster. As the sky got brighter, the color changed from orange-red to golden yellow. Just as we were waiting for more sunlight to shine on Mount Everest, a cloud gradually floated into the valley, and more and more clouds appeared, and finally completely covered Mount Everest. I was very satisfied to be able to see the sunrise on Mount Everest. I didn't dare to ask for too much. I said goodbye to all the uncles and set off on the journey to leave Mount Everest.

By O'Connor accompanies his uncle |

Mount Everest was right in front of us, but we couldn't see it because it was completely covered by clouds. After waiting at the viewing platform for half an hour, Mount Everest still couldn't show its true appearance. The eco-friendly car was already urging us to leave. After a long journey to get here, we were unwilling to let it pass us by. After that, we made a bold decision - to hike. Watching the eco-friendly car carrying other passengers slowly leaving, I was actually quite unsure. I didn't know what such an altitude meant to us who had no experience in plateau hiking.

The next two hours were a rare experience. The hike was smooth, the weather was changeable, the mountains were magical and mysterious, and Mount Everest seemed to have revealed its peak just for us... We walked and stopped, enjoying this rare experience. Back at the tent hotel, the altitude sickness became more serious. We were exhausted and went to bed early, but we didn't sleep all night because of the altitude sickness. The cold night also dispelled our idea of watching the stars. My life seemed to have experienced great joy and great sorrow in this short day. I tossed and turned all night, as if I had spent a century, and finally I had to leave.

As time went by, the wind became stronger and stronger. In the end, I had to hold the tripod with both hands to prevent it from being blown down. Although I was wearing a thick coat, my hands and face were still frozen. The altitude here is 5,000 meters. It is both lacking in oxygen and cold. Every minute of persistence requires great perseverance. But in order to shoot the sunset of Mount Everest, I still gritted my teeth. Because I know that there are not many such opportunities in my life, I must persist. Before sunset, I was the only one left on the entire hillside waiting there alone. Brother Da Zi and his wife called several times to urge me to get down the mountain quickly. They were worried about my safety. When I persisted until 8:30, my hard work paid off and the golden summit of Mount Everest appeared! At that moment, I was so nervous that my breathing became rapid, for fear that I would miss this opportunity if I didn't shoot well.

I got up at 5:20 the next morning, without washing my face, and took my camera equipment to wait for the sunrise on Mount Everest. The moon was hanging high in the sky, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime. It was quiet everywhere, with only the occasional bird song. At this moment, the world under Mount Everest belonged to me alone. I set up my camera on the hillside, waiting for the sunrise on the golden top of Mount Everest. But I came too early, the sunrise was at 7:30, and I went up the mountain two hours in advance. After staying on the hillside for a long time, I couldn't stand the cold, and before sunrise, brother Dazi also rushed to the hillside. Soon, the top of Mount Everest gradually became brighter and redder, and the golden top really appeared! We were so lucky that we took pictures of the golden top of Mount Everest at sunrise! I really like the mysterious atmosphere it exudes.

By keketong |

When we went to Mount Everest National Park, we wanted to see the majestic mountains, but we, who lived in the city, had never really looked at the stars, let alone the starry sky. This time, a group of us chose 2:30 in the middle of the night to get up and look at the stars.

The winding road leads to the viewing platform, overlooking the Everest group! It would be a shame if you didn't have a little concentration along the way.

The equipment is limited, what I see with my own eyes is even more shocking, so touching!!!

By Lancer |

We were lucky. We saw Mount Everest as soon as we arrived the day before. The next day was even better. When we woke up in the morning, there was blue sky and white clouds. However, we were not satisfied. In order to see it more clearly, we wanted to walk closer. The weather changes very quickly, so we had to hurry up. However, we saw a sign saying "No Entry" not long after we walked. We had heard that we could take a sightseeing bus to Base Camp No. 2, so we were a little reluctant. After all, it was not easy to come here. While hesitating, we saw two people walking inside. There was no one guarding and no fences here. We imagined that the consequences would not be too serious, so we decided to follow them and planned to walk to the small hill in front to take a look and then come back. It took a long time to see the hill not far away, and it took a lot of effort to climb up. Unexpectedly, fog suddenly appeared and we could not see anything. As the fog became thicker, everyone became desperate and began to retreat.

By Look at me making trouble |

After experiencing physical and mental torture, when I saw the archway of "Mount Everest National Park", I felt a little excited, as we were finally getting closer to our destination.



Whether you are going to Mount Everest or returning to Lhasa, there are many border checkpoints along the way that require ID cards to be checked (the importance of carrying ID cards with you), and you need to get off the car for inspection, which is very strict and troublesome; you also need to apply for a border pass to go to Mount Everest. If you travel with a tour group, the driver will help you to get it; if you drive yourself, you need to go to the police station to apply for it yourself.

By xiaoxiao |

The endless snow-capped mountains and white clouds are magnificent, stunning and absolutely beautiful. Yes, I often ask myself why I went to Tibet and why I climbed Mount Everest. When I stood in front of the sea of clouds on Mount Everest, looking at the endless snow-capped mountains and the beautiful white clouds, I knew that everything I had paid was worth it just to see it, just to be there and see it.

By Looking forward to Andy |

Since I'm in Ali, I must check in at Mount Everest, so that I can say I've been there.

The NN turn on Mount Everest will give you a warning at first, and it will make you dizzy. Fortunately, the road surface is relatively flat, although it is uphill all the way.

Mount Everest in the distance has gradually appeared before our eyes, with the perennial snow covering it with thick "clothes".

By Haizi |

The East Slope of Mount Everest, as the name implies, is located on the east side of Mount Everest. It is not the regular Everest Base Camp. It takes several days of hiking to get there. There are no scenic spots or service facilities. Hiking route reference 1: Youpa Village - Xiwucuo - Zhuoxiang - Tangxiang - Oga - Mount Everest Base Camp. Hiking route reference 2: Minzhulin Village - Langlama - Cuoxuerenma - Oga - Base Camp.

By Leo |

When we got ready and walked out of the hotel, we looked up at the road in front of the hotel. Wow, Mount Everest was set against the blue sky. It was right in front of us. We immediately started to shout with excitement. We were so lucky! We saw Mount Everest!

By Long-faced Zhang Shaoxia |

Mount Everest



This is the highest land in the world that ordinary people can step on except professional climbers - the Everest Base Camp at 5,200 meters. Overlooking the world's highest peak, "Mt. Everest" at 8,844.43 meters. Although I have seen it countless times on TV and the Internet, when I really walked in front of it, I was still shocked by its greatness and holiness, so shocked that I couldn't breathe and was shocked to tears!

By Skystream |

Everest Base Camp has been closed, and it may be permanently closed to tourists, so we can only see Everest from Rongbuk Monastery. When we arrived, the sky was sparsely clouded, so we stood at Rongbuk Monastery, waiting for the arrival of white clouds, hoping to take pictures of white clouds around the top, but to no avail. In the afternoon, when we were about to drive back to Dingri, the clouds became thicker, and haha, our wish came true! Our driver said that he had picked up so many people, but he had only seen people praying for clouds to disperse, but not for clouds to come. You are so lucky!

By Kay |

You can only go to Rongbuk Monastery to see Mount Everest, not to the base camp. It is still very shocking to see Mount Everest, but the accommodation conditions are quite poor

By La La & Ha Ha |

I can’t remember how many times I’ve seen Mount Everest! Hello, Mount Everest!

By Grass Petals |

Standing at the foot of the world's highest peak, in the winter wind, I felt a little lack of oxygen and a little cold. On New Year's Eve, my heart was surging, and I didn't know how to express my feelings for a while.

I asked my husband, "Can you see the national flag flying on the top of Mount Everest?" He actually had tears in his eyes. This was a bit too sentimental and not suitable for us.

The flag cloud on the top of the mountain was dyed a beautiful red by the sunset glow. There is a saying in Tibetan areas that seeing the flag cloud is like seeing Buddha's light or a mirage, which is a sign of great luck and fortune. It feels like a good omen for 2019.

By @edckid |

It's a pity that the base camp was not entered, and the monument of the base camp was also moved down

By The tree is very greedy |

Now the Mount Everest Stele has moved down a lot in altitude, not far from the Rongbuk Monastery. We waited for the sunset at the stele. The golden mountain under the sun was so beautiful that words could not describe the beauty. At around 2 a.m., there were the most stars. We got up at 2 a.m. to take pictures of the starry sky. It was really worth all the hard work. The starry sky of Mount Everest is really the most beautiful I have seen in 20 years. It was the first time I saw what the "naked eye Milky Way" is, the first time I saw a shooting star, and the first time I wrote my name under the starry sky.

By Ethan |

We went to see Mount Everest in the early morning. The clouds and mist had not yet completely dispersed. The sun shone directly from the east, driving the mist to the west. The dewy air was warmed by the rose lips of the sun, and the tip of Mount Everest slowly appeared. We could continue hiking to get closer to it, but we were ready to set off. If we walked another 1km closer, the overall landscape would not be much different. At this moment, we had the opportunity to see its appearance, which was enough.

By Ask for it |

It was not until the sun gradually sank that I discovered the beauty of the Golden Mountain. When the surrounding sky had already darkened, only the top of the mountain was golden and brilliant. It was extremely beautiful. At this moment, looking at Mount Everest, I had no thoughts at all. I just wanted to look at this picture quietly and wait for it to disappear.

By Fishing, woodcutting, farming and reading |

Mount Everest has been engraved in my mind since I was a child. It has been my dream since I was a child to visit Mount Everest and look up at its height. Today is the day to realize this wish.

By Sarah |

To enter the Mount Everest Geological Park, you have to pass through a very long and winding road. This is a road that really tests your driving skills. If you are not an experienced driver, you will always feel that you will be thrown out.

Coming to the foot of Mount Everest is my deepest expectation for the natural scenery in recent years. Looking at the snow-capped mountains that seem not far away from me, standing like a natural god in front of my sight, the shock in my heart has calmed down, and I can watch it quietly.

By SXWh |

Although it does not have the magnificent splendor and brilliant light of the "Golden Mountain in the Sunlight", during the period before sunrise, my mood went from being extremely excited at the beginning to calm down in the end. It was surprisingly calm. I just wanted to quietly appreciate this holy mountain and slowly wake up from a good dream...

By There is no immortal in Pansi Cave |

Mount Everest is very cold. Because there is little vegetation, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. Friends who want to come here must wear more clothes. Almost all important scenic spots have stone tablets marking the altitude.

By Four Pillars |

To enter the Mount Everest scenic area, in addition to the 180 yuan entrance fee per person, each tire of the car costs 100 yuan, which means the car costs 400 yuan.

The roads leading to the Everest Base Camp are all paved with asphalt, and cars can pass through them easily. The former washboard roads have become history!

By The wheat is yellow |

It is a pity that we did not actually climb Mount Everest. Generally, everyone lived in the Tibetan tents under Mount Everest. So compared to the result of actually climbing Mount Everest, the process of going to Mount Everest was more profound. Occasionally, the sharp peaks popped out from the clouds, which made you a little excited.

By Simple |

It is tall and majestic, rarely seen in summer, and I was lucky enough to see it and was moved to tears.

By Standing Rain |

Fortunately, in the early morning, Mount Everest revealed its mysterious veil and its spire was visible. Mount Everest was glittering in the sun and was particularly majestic. The night sky of Mount Everest cannot be photographed by non-professional SLR cameras and requires certain skills.

By I don't want to be called Xiaoqiang |

After a bumpy drive, we finally saw the Third Pole.

By OK |

Of course you have to go to the highest peak in the world! You can also pass through 108 turns and see 5 snow-capped mountains over 8,000 meters and many other majestic mountains.

By North American Houge |

The sunset at Mount Everest is one of the most classic and magnificent views in the Golden Mountain. The whole golden process only takes about ten minutes. But whether there are clouds at that time depends on your luck.

By I'm still a little kid. |

When we were in the car, we saw Mount Everest from afar, but due to the weather we could only see a corner of the snow-capped mountain. However, we could no longer contain our excitement as we were about to see the entire Mount Everest. We never thought that one day we would actually be able to stand at the foot of Mount Everest. Even if we didn't climb up, it would already be a proud thing.

By Ouou |

To enter the Everest Conservation Area, you need to buy tickets not only for people but also for cars. Each tire costs 200 yuan, which is used for road maintenance to the Everest Base Camp. I don't know if there is a charge for bicycle tires.

Anyway, it was exciting to be able to get so close to Mount Everest. The world's highest peak that I had remembered since childhood finally turned from an abstract description into a concrete picture. Before coming here, I read some travel notes saying that it depends on fate to see Mount Everest, especially in the rainy season. Unfortunately, it rained all day that day, causing clouds and mist. Mount Everest was always hidden in the clouds and mist that day, and we couldn't see its true appearance. Maybe this imperfect journey is a preparation for the next visit.

There are 72 bends on the Nujiang River and more than 100 bends on the way to Mount Everest. It takes nearly two hours to drive from the ticket office to the base camp, not to mention the hardships that the climbers who want to reach the summit will face. Sure enough, the world's number one is so arrogant.

By After finishing the experiment, fight the boss |

We were very lucky. When we reached the foot of the mountain, the clouds that had previously covered the peak had dissipated, and Mount Everest had revealed its full appearance.

By 🗽Joo Poh🗼 |

I came to Tibet because of it. I remember when the convoy was getting closer, I was already crying. There is a song called "So close, so far" (Jacky Cheung). Yes, it is so close, right in front of me, and so far away, I came here from Malaysia (after 15 hours)!

By Angel Baby |

The only lucky thing about this trip is that we saw the whole view of Mount Everest. Although we went through numerous hardships and dangers, it was all worth it when the clouds and fog cleared.

By Indifferent |

As soon as we entered the Mount Everest Conservation Area, the snow-capped mountains appeared before our eyes. I was so surprised. Is this Mount Everest and its sister peaks? As the clouds gradually dispersed and the face of Mount Everest became clearer and clearer, I shouted in surprise: "Mount Everest, is that you I see?" First of all, it is not easy to see the true face of Mount Everest in July. Secondly, I had already seen the peaks of Mount Everest that day. I couldn't believe that my luck would be so good the next day.

By Shangshui |

We crossed mountains, rivers and seas just to see your face, of course, with a little bit of luck and reluctance, we loved you bitterly. Sincerity will not disappoint, in a few minutes, Mount Everest actually popped out.

The white snow-capped peaks pierced the sky, standing majestically, sacred and serene. At that moment, the whole village was exclaiming, ecstatic, and posing in the coolest poses to take photos with this noble man.

By Master Four |

Because the clouds were too thick yesterday, I couldn't see Mount Everest. It was a pity to think that I had traveled thousands of miles but didn't see Mount Everest. So I was still worried this morning whether I could see the true face of Mount Everest. Just after I got up, a group member came to report that Mount Everest was out. I was so lucky. So I ran out in a hurry. The clouds gradually dissipated and Mount Everest finally appeared. I was really excited when I saw it!

By itsshan |

When I actually arrived at Mount Everest, I realized that I would love this land that I first felt at such high altitude so much.

The highest peak in the world was right before my eyes. I was so excited that I spun and jumped like a child, completely forgetting that this was Mount Everest, which is so high that people would suffer from altitude sickness if they walked fast.

By Austin |

The holy snow-capped mountains towered majestically in the sky. I couldn't suppress my excitement and ran all the way to the isolation line, just to see her face from a closer distance. As the sunlight changed, Mount Everest became more graceful from its initial tranquility. At this moment, the dream came true and my wish for this trip was fulfilled.

By Smiling at the morning light |

Mount Everest is right in front of us, beautiful, majestic and sacred. Continue walking about 500 to 600 meters, and you will see the Mount Everest Monument at an altitude of 8844.43 meters in about 10 minutes. There is a trickling stream next to it, and there are many Mani piles arranged next to it. Tourists can only go here and cannot go forward. Going forward should be the base camp of professional climbers.

The top of the world does not need any other reasons. When you really walk to the foot of Mount Everest, you will only feel awe. Awe from the deepest part of your heart for the wonders of nature. The luckiest thing is to see the flag cloud of Mount Everest.

When the weather is clear, there is often a milky white cloud shaped like a flag floating on the top of Mount Everest. This is the Everest flag cloud.

By The mouse loves the cat |

The name of Mount Everest is known to everyone and it attracts explorers from all over the world. For ordinary people, their journey stops at the first base camp of Mount Everest.

By Butterfly lady |

It was a little different from what I imagined. I thought the roof of the world, Mount Everest at 8844.43 meters, was a mountain that suddenly rose from the ground and went straight into the sky. It turned out to be a mountain that rose from the mountains at an altitude of 5200 meters. Here, Mount Everest was so close to me that it seemed within reach. Looking at the holy snow-capped peak in front of me, all my thoughts were ended at this moment. After taking a few photos, I just wanted to sit here quietly, facing her, thinking nothing, just staring blankly.

By Little cutie |

The best thing about coming here is to see the stars! But the premise is that you can withstand the lack of oxygen and cold! It's really cold, but for me, a northerner, I can still withstand it by wearing a thick cotton jacket, but I didn't wear long johns, and my legs were frozen, so you must bring your long johns and a big cotton jacket to Mount Everest, and it must be the kind that is not breathable! ! Then you can watch the sunset or sunrise of the Golden Mountain, but it depends on luck and good weather. We were so lucky that we could say that it was sunny all day for four days, and the sky was very beautiful everywhere. We saw the stars and the sunset, and we were super excited and happy!

When you are at the highest peak in the world and surrounded by the vast starry sky, you really cannot describe the feeling in words. At this moment, you will deeply understand why Tibet is called "a place worth visiting once in a lifetime."

The most tear-jerking thing is of course the world's highest peak, Mount Everest.

The starry sky of Mount Everest taken by my friend and I (retouched photo, the original photo is also very beautiful and shocking!)

Hahaha, I asked the little brother to write my name under the starry sky of Mount Everest with the flashlight on his mobile phone. Then, I thought I would have a close connection with Mount Everest forever.

By Linda Dai |

In addition to people, cars also need to buy tickets, 100 yuan per wheel.

At daybreak, I went out, found a big rock to sit on, and looked at Mount Everest in the early morning. This is the Mount Everest that I insisted on seeing despite the altitude sickness. This is the north slope of Mount Everest. With such strong winds and such steep cliffs, how do climbers get up there?

By Qianqian Travel Notes |

This roof of the world, which is always hidden in the clouds, allows us to see its true appearance. Mount Everest is the ultimate ideal of mountaineering enthusiasts, but it is by no means an easy mountain to conquer. Two years ago, I spent half a month climbing the Everest mountain range on the EBC route from Nepal. Now it is not easy to think back. It is really a paradise for the eyes and a hell for the body. If you want to climb Mount Everest, you need to spend 100,000 to 200,000 yuan on professional training in mountaineering skills, which is not possible for everyone. But life is a challenge and experience after experience. Once you conquer this peak, the inner satisfaction is also very strong. I don't expect to conquer the roof of the world. I am satisfied with just looking at it from a distance. As a travel enthusiast, it is really a rare and wonderful experience to be able to drive to Mount Everest. When we drove to the foot of Mount Everest, the clouds gradually dispersed, allowing us to see the true appearance of Mount Everest. It was really worth the trip! When we climbed more than 100 turns on our way back, we saw Mount Everest, the "Golden Mountain in the Sunlight", and quickly took out the camera to record this moment! It's so beautiful! Beauty is often short-lived. In a few minutes, the orange sunlight disappears. It only takes a brief moment to capture beauty.

By Hongyu |

At about 7:30, Mount Everest was the first to light up, then slowly spread to other peaks, and finally Mount Everest was also lit up.

By ohh-yeah |

I was originally preparing to go back after taking pictures because it was really unbearable outside. My companions had already gone back, but I saw many photography enthusiasts standing and waiting like stone statues. I was wondering what they were waiting for. Then I heard everyone talking about the Sun Shining on the Golden Mountain. I had only heard of this landscape, but had never seen it with my own eyes. Moreover, it felt like the sky was about to get dark, so where would the Sun Shining on the Golden Mountain come from? Unexpectedly, at this moment, this beautiful scenery appeared before my eyes. The sunlight slowly spread to the top of the mountain, and in an instant it changed from a light yellow to golden yellow, with some fiery red colors in between. At this moment, I felt like my heart stopped beating. I only remember that I didn't know how many times I pressed the shutter, wantonly trying to imprint this beautiful scenery in my mind. In the camera, the majestic Mount Everest, such a shocking scenery, I really have to be grateful, because most of the time Mount Everest is half-hidden, shrouded in clouds and mist, and it is not easy to see its true appearance. But I didn't expect to be able to see the Sun Shining on the Golden Mountain. I am lucky.

The sunlight shining on the golden mountain lasted for about 20 minutes and then gradually disappeared. This trip was truly a complete success.

By ぶKirito |

Standing at such a high altitude, I have never stood before, looking at the magnificent sunset that seems to last forever, watching the dazzling golden light slowly spreading over the entire Mount Everest, as if the entire Mount Everest was covered with gold. At this moment, it is solemn and sacred.

By Walking LGG. |

When the afterglow of setting sun shines on the peak of Mount Everest, the top of the world. How many people have taken risks to climb it and finally died here. Human beings are still very small in front of the natural ecology of nature. I heard that the starry sky there is very beautiful. I didn’t get up to see it that night. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. My companions kept shouting outside to come out and see the starry sky, it was very beautiful, but I was very tired, and the temperature at night was already below zero and it was the highest place, so I didn’t want to get up. The escape at that moment was the regret I left on this trip!

The sunset time of Mount Everest is about 9 o'clock in the evening, and the sunrise time is about 7 o'clock in the morning. The sun shines on the top of Mount Everest, as if covered with a layer of golden gauze, like a shy girl, accompanied by clouds, looming. The starry sky of Mount Everest is definitely a beautiful scenery that you cannot miss.

We were very lucky this time, as we saw the golden summit of Mount Everest and the Milky Way. But it was too cold, below zero degrees, and the main impression left on me was not the beautiful scenery.

According to experts accompanying the team, there are the most dangerous ice and snow avalanche zones here, and the slightest movement may lead to sudden collapse. The terrain of Mount Everest is extremely steep, with three steep walls sandwiched between the ridges.

It was so magical to think that we could see the golden summit of Mount Everest despite the rain and fog. The sunlight was shining on Mount Everest, and it was so clear. We were so lucky!!!

Although Mount Everest in the distance does not give the shock of a close-up view, its beauty still makes people linger.

You have to stop at a place you drive to. You can't drive into the scenic area by yourself. There is a special bus from the base camp to the foot of Mount Everest, which costs 20 yuan per person. I don't remember it clearly. The first bus in the morning is at 8:30. Don't be anxious, just wait. You can still catch up at this time. After waiting for a while, the shuttle bus ticket office opened. Don't imagine that the ticket office looks like a place that sells tickets. It's just a person sitting in a tent with dim lights. Anyway, I can't see it yet, so I went to buy a bus ticket and returned to my original position. I have imagined the scene of seeing Mount Everest millions of times, but I didn't expect that under my gaze, her full appearance would appear in front of me bit by bit. At that moment, I didn't want to scream with excitement. When I was most excited, I was often the calmest. I was deeply impressed by the highest peak in the world. Human beings are small, too small. She sat and watched the changes in the world for thousands of years. 13 million years ago, the height of Mount Everest may be much higher than 8,848 meters, and once exceeded 12,000 meters. Even she changes with the times and circumstances. The only unchanging truth in the world is change. When she was unveiled, I probably stood there and sighed about my life 10,000 times.

We set out at 6am just to see the sunrise on Mount Everest. After taking pictures, we found that this is the so-called golden mountain in the sun. It can only be described as really beautiful.

Mount Everest before sunset, the setting sun made the top of the mountain red, just like a shy girl with a red face. Come to Tibet to see the starry sky under Mount Everest. The extremely cold weather at the Everest Base Camp did not dampen my pursuit of starry sky photography. This is the closest place to the starry sky on earth. Under the clear night sky, the stars are always blinking, and occasionally there will be shooting stars flying by.

How many mountaineering enthusiasts want to conquer this destination, which has been covered with snow for thousands of years and never melts. Only when you see Mount Everest with your own eyes can you understand its majesty and the wonders of nature. When the sun comes out, the full view of Mount Everest. The wonders of nature really make me marvel.

After crossing the 72 bends, the world's highest peak, which was once only recorded in images, finally showed its true appearance to me under the bright sunshine. The ice and snow that never melt all year round, in front of the majestic Mount Everest, everything in the world is as small as a drop in the ocean.

We rented a big cotton jacket to keep warm before we set off, but it was not thick enough on Mount Everest. The wind on Mount Everest was very strong and cold, but as long as you wrap yourself tightly, you can resist most of the cold. And you have to slow down on Mount Everest because of lack of oxygen. I jumped on the roof of the world. Although I had some altitude sickness due to lack of oxygen, it was not a big problem.

We walked against the wind, because the wind was too strong towards Mount Everest, and it was a bit difficult to walk against the wind, so we had to walk with our backs to the wind, just to check in at the milestone at the foot of Mount Everest. Nature is very magical. In such a cold place like Mount Everest, the surrounding area is barren, with only jagged rocks and no grass, but there is actually a stream next to it, stretching endlessly.

It takes a lot of courage to go out at night on Mount Everest, because it is so cold that even Ye Zi can't sing proudly. Have you ever gotten up at 1 a.m. to see the stars? This is probably a rare experience for modern people. We walked along the rocky mountain road in the cold wind. The sky of Mount Everest can see the bright moon and stars everywhere. I can see a nebula with my naked eyes, which is enough to make us excited for a long time. The night on Mount Everest is really cold. My friends took out their hands to adjust the height of the tripod, and they froze in a while. I also wrapped a military coat on my legs. They squatted on the ground and curled up to keep warm during the whole shooting. I felt like I was growing into the soil.

There are four seasons in one day. It snowed when I first arrived, and it was sunny in the evening. It was spectacular.

Go to the police area of Mount Everest Base Camp and get off the car to verify the ID card. Mount Everest has two altitudes: the total height (snow cover height) is the height climbed by climbers, 8848 meters, and the bare height (rock surface height) is the geological height of 8844.43 meters. Standing in front of the measuring stone tablet, I instantly felt how small human beings are in front of nature. Enduring the headache caused by the high altitude (the altitude here is about 5000M), wrapped in several layers of clothes, and fully armed, everyone set out to find the best position and wait for the sunset, just to witness this thrilling sunset Jinshan landscape. The sky at this time is particularly pure and bright, and here I finally realized what it means to be the closest place to heaven. From sunset to the starry sky, the friends are very satisfied, and the spiritual cleansing journey has been achieved, and there is no regret for this trip. In order to take pictures of the starry sky, I stayed at the highest Rongbuk Monastery. I had an unbearable headache and couldn't fall asleep all night. I got up early at 4 o'clock in the morning and rushed back to Lhasa.

I suggest you stay in a tent at the Everest Base Camp, because you can feel the sunrise and sunset more directly, the conditions are not as bad as you think, and there are public toilets.

In addition to being the highest mountain, it is also the fifth farthest peak from the center of the earth. In Tibetan, "Qomo" means goddess, and "Langma" means the third. Because there are four other peaks near Mount Everest, and Mount Everest ranks third, it is called Mount Everest.

It is only 102 kilometers away from Mount Everest, but the road is extremely dangerous. The most dangerous part is the continuous U-turn known as the "Ninety-nine Turns of Mount Everest". The turns are very small, and you need to speed up in the process of climbing to the top of the mountain. This increases the difficulty for vehicles going up, and requires excellent driving skills to pass safely.

Mount Everest, which is far away in the horizon but close at hand, stands majestically under the blue sky. The black mountain body can be vaguely seen on the top, while the peaks on both sides are covered with snow. Occasionally, a blue light flashes through the sunlight. That should be the faint blue light emitted by the glacier covered with snow.

This is the place that every traveler longs for in his life. Looking up at Mount Everest from a close distance, you will feel only shock and sacredness in your heart!

The fog was swirling around, and after persisting for an hour, we finally saw the tip of Mount Everest. If one of our children had not had severe altitude sickness, our family would have planned to stay overnight to take pictures of the starry sky, but we can only leave it for next time.

Mount Everest, the scenery is so beautiful that you can't take pictures, you can only see it with your eyes. Water and food are very precious in the Everest Base Camp. We slept in tents and the conditions were difficult, but what we saw was truly unforgettable.

With an altitude of 8844.43 meters, it is the highest peak in the world. Standing in Gangga Town and looking at Mount Everest, it is shocking.

The weather on Mount Everest changes very quickly. When we reached Camp II, the entire Mount Everest was still covered in clouds and mist. In less than 20 minutes, it turned into flag clouds. After another 5 minutes, it completely dispersed. We were fortunate to see the true face of Mount Everest.

The living environment is very difficult. There is a post office at the highest altitude where you can buy postcards and get commemorative stamps.

Wake up in the morning and set off for Mount Everest. After entering the scenic area, there is still a long drive, but the winding mountain road and beautiful peaks are a blessing along the way. Watching Mount Everest in the bustling crowd at the observation deck, the snow is like a long skirt, lightly draped on her body. When we arrived at the Everest Base Camp, there were many people, and everyone ran directly to the open space in front to take pictures of Mount Everest. At an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, the body feels good. And today we also saw the golden mountain in the sun, which is very beautiful. But there are too many people, and except for Mount Everest, there is no scenery around, which is a bit monotonous.

Perhaps it is because only by going to Mount Everest with a pilgrimage heart can the soul exhausted by worldly life find peace.
