CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA: WORTH THE RISKS
攀登珠穆朗玛峰:值得冒险吗?
Qomolangma is the world's highest and most famous mountain. It is very dangerous to climb. But every year a lot of climbers risk their lives to climb it. I think the most important reason is that they want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers encourages us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams.
Climbing Qomolangma is a unique and rewarding experience.
