Climbing Mount Everest from China or Nepal?

Both are acceptable, but most people choose Nepal.

First of all, mountains have two sides, yin and yang. In the northern hemisphere, the south slope of a mountain is called the yang side because it faces the sun, while the north slope is called the yin side. Compared with the northern slope of Mount Everest, the climate on the southern slope is more suitable for humans. As the shady side, the southern slope often does not receive sunlight, which makes people feel colder. The altitude of Mount Everest itself is high, and the mountain is covered with snow all year round. In terms of actual temperature, it is definitely better to climb on the south slope.

The second is the terrain. In addition to the harsh climate, the north slope is also very steep, while the south slope is flatter. In addition, if you start from Nepal, you will be on the mountainside, while our country is located at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, most climbers basically choose to start from Nepal instead of my country. Of course, except for some adventurers who like to pursue excitement.
