The highest mountain in the world--Mount Qomolangma (Mt. Everest)
  Qomolangma, meaning"goddess"in Tibetan, is the highest mountain on earth with an altitude of 8,848.13 metres. This figure was precisely measured by the Chinese mountaineers who reached the top in 1975.This rectified the long persisted but mistaken figure of 8,882 metres for the height. as early as 1721,in "A Panorama of the Empire",a treatise, ordered and compiled by the Qing Dynasty monarchy ,the name
"Qomolangma Arlin"was demarcated at that time.
Mount Qomolangma, known to the western world as Mt. Everest, stands at the south of Tingri county in southern Tibet, on the border of the central Himalayas, between China and Nepal, capped with accumulated eternal snow. Our Chinese mountaineers from different nationalities have conquered the peak twice since 1960.these scholars and experts  in many fields have studied Mount Qomolangma and acquired a great deal of valuable scientific data. The optimum weather on Mount Qomolangma is from April to June, a golden period for mountaineers, Each year, a great number brave robust mountaineers come from all over the world to tour and climb mount Qomolangma, hoping to fulfil a life-long wish by climbing and looking out from the world's highest peak.
