Where is the base camp of Mount Everest?

One of the best places to watch and photograph Mount Everest, and the only place to climb Mount Everest in China.

Everest Base Camp is a protected area set up to protect the core area of Everest, with an altitude of 5,200 meters. It is one of the best places to watch and photograph Mount Everest, and it is also the base camp for mountaineering teams from China to climb Mount Everest. April-June is the mountaineering season every year, which is the busiest time in the Everest base camp and the best time to shoot the Everest flag cloud.

The traffic at Everest Base Camp is inconvenient, so cars can only drive to the tent camp next to Rongbu Temple. Tourists usually charter from Shigatse or Lhasa, and it takes about 4 days to go back and forth. Some tourists will stay in tent camps, the price is not expensive, but the hardware conditions are difficult. The base camp is guarded by the armed police, and there is a monument next to it, engraved with the words "Everest Base Camp, 5200 meters above sea level". Many tourists take pictures here. In addition, postcards purchased by tent post can be postmarked, and a postcard in 5 yuan includes the postmark of the 2008 Olympic flame of Mount Everest, which is still very memorable.

It should be noted that because it is in the border area, it is necessary to apply for a border defense certificate in advance before departure, and the road conditions in some areas are poor.
