Its northern part is in Dingri County, Tibet, China (the western slope is in Zhaxizong Township, Dingri County, and the eastern slope is in Qudang Township, Dingri County, with Mount Everest base camp), the southern part is in Nepal, and the peak is in China, making it the highest mountain in the world. It is the center of Mount Everest Nature Reserve and Nepalese National Park, spanning four counties in China.

3. Two kinds of heights: the total height climbed by climbers, and the snow height (total height) used by Nepalese climbers is 8848 meters (29029 feet). In 2005, the rock surface height (exposed height, i.e. geological height) measured by the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping of China was 8844.43 meters, and the measured data of the two heights were recognized from 20 10. Besides being the highest mountain, it is the fifth highest peak from the center of the earth.

Extended data:

In Tibetan, "job-mo glang-ma rib" means "Mother of the Earth". In Tibetan, Jo-mo "Mount Everest" means goddess, while Gland-Ma "Gland-Ma" should be understood as female elephant (in Tibetan, Gland-Ma has two meanings: Yanagi Takayama and female elephant).

According to myth, Mount Everest is a palace where a five-day-old woman lives. However, there is another English proverb that appears many times in middle school textbooks. This mountain is generally called Mount Qomolangma or Mount Qomolangma in the west, in memory of George Qomolangma, director of Indian Survey Bureau who was in charge of surveying the Himalayas when Britain occupied Nepal.

Nepal's name is Sagama, 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.
