qomolangma is the highest peak in the world. its altitude is now about 8844.43 meters. tibetan meaning of “the third goddess” adds more mysterious color and magic power to it. mountaineers run great risks to challenge its high altitude and the common tourists also yearn for a reverent look at this holy peak. climbing mt. everest is very dangerous, so only those who can endure the vile weather and experienced climbers may venture onto its slopes. the area is frequently beset with sudden storms, snow, wind and the weather may change quickly in a day. only the periods between early march and late may, along with early september and late october are suitable for climbing, among which less than 20 days are actually fine. so if you want to climb, you must keep a very close look at the weather changes there.
珠穆朗玛峰是世界最高峰。现在，珠峰的高度约8844.43米。藏语中是“大地之母”的意思，更是给它增添了不少的神秘色彩以及神奇的力量。登山家们冒着很大的风险来挑战这里的高海拔；普通的游客同样也怀着虔诚的心来一睹这座神圣的山峰。攀登珠峰是一件非常危险的事情，只有那些能够应对恶劣天气的人以及登山经验丰富的人，才有可能登上去。该地区经常会面对突如其来的暴风雨、大雪、大风，一天之内天气会变化很快。只有3月初到4月底以及9月初到10月底的这两段时间才适合登山，在这两个时间段里，只有不到20天是好天气。如果你要登山，就要时刻密切关注那里的天气变化。
