Mount Qomolangma, also known as Sagarmata or Mount Qomolangma, or Mount Qomolangma, is the highest mountain on earth, measured by its peak height of 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level. This mountain is a part of the Himalayan Mountains in High Asia, which is located on the border between the Sagarmata region in Nepal and Tibet in China.

In 1856, India's Great Triangulation determined that the first published height of Mount Everest was 29,002 feet (8,840 meters), although Mount Everest was called the fifteenth peak at that time. At 1865, Mount Qomolangma was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society on the advice of Andrew Waugh, the British chief surveyor of India at that time. Because Nepal and Tibet were closed to foreigners at that time, Waugh could not come up with a definite local name, although Chomolungma has been widely used by Tibetans for centuries.

The highest mountain in the world attracts climbers of all levels, from experienced climbers to novices who are willing to pay a lot of money to professional mountain guides to complete successful climbing. Although this mountain will not cause great technical difficulties on the standard route (other 8000 people, such as K2 or Nanga Parbat, are more difficult), there are still many inherent dangers, such as altitude sickness, weather and wind. By the end of the mountaineering season in 2007, 2,436 people had climbed 3,679 times. This means that climbers are an important source of tourism income in Nepal, and the Nepalese government also requires all potential climbers to obtain expensive permits, which cost as much as $25,000 per person. Mount Everest has claimed 2 10 lives, of which 15 people were killed in a storm 1996. The conditions in the dead zone are so difficult that most of the bodies are left where they fell, and some of them can be seen from the standard climbing route.

Mount Qomolangma, also referred to as Mount Qomolangma, is located in the Himalayas on the border between China and Nepal, with an altitude of 8844.43 meters and snow all year round. It is the highest mountain in the world. In Tibetan, Mount Everest means "Mother of the Earth" and is called Mount Everest. In Tibetan, "Everest" means goddess, and "Langma" should be understood as female elephant (in Tibetan, "Langma" has two meanings: Yanagi Takayama and female elephant). According to myth, Mount Everest is the palace where tshe-ring mched lnga lived.

In the west, this mountain is more commonly known as Mount Everest, in memory of George Everles, director of the British Indian Survey Bureau, who was in charge of surveying the Himalayas when British colonists invaded Nepal. Nepal's name is Sakyamata, which means "Goddess of the Sky". This name was coined by the Nepalese government in the 1960s. Because the Nepalese people did not name the mountain before, the government did not choose to use transliteration for political reasons.

The lotus posthumous work unearthed in 1258 was named "Lachi", and Sangji, a monk of the Kagyu Sect, praised Mirariba Road as "the most snowy" in songji. 17 17 years, the surveyors of the Qing dynasty surveyed the panoramic view of the royal land in the area of Mount Everest. Mount Everest was named after "Everest Alin", which means "mountain" in Manchu. 1952 China government changed its name to Mount Everest.

1956 The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the General Administration of Publication of the Central People's Government of China notified that "Mount Qomolangma" was renamed "Mount Qomolangma". In 2002, Chinese mainland People's Daily published an article saying that the English name "Mount Everest" that the western world continues to use should be renamed as its Tibetan name "Mount Everest". The newspaper said that 280 years before the English name "Mount Everest" was used in the West, the symbol on the map of China was named "Mount Everest". Taiwan Province Province has traditionally called this mountain "Mount Everest" and adopted this free translation in textbooks. In recent years, people began to accept the name of Mount Everest in Chinese mainland, but it is still not universal.
