The second day of the tour, after waking up early in the morning, we had breakfast at the hotel. The master took us to get the border pass, and then we kept driving to Mount Everest (we went to have lunch at around 12 o'clock). We arrived at the entrance of Mount Everest Park in Figure 2 at around 1 o'clock. The master went to buy tickets, and we got off the bus to check in. 📷(Remember to bring your student ID card to get a 50% discount! The master will give it back to you!) After that, we entered the entrance of Mount Everest Park. The master walked us through 108 bends. From now on, life will be smooth. We went to the viewing point at the Gaoligong Pass, and then went to the bus stop for the scenic area. To get to the base camp, you need to take the scenic bus. You also need to buy tickets here. Student ID cards can be reduced by half (these tickets are included in the tour fee, but the driver will refund part of it to you if you have a student ID card). If you want to stay in a tent at Everest Base Camp🏕️If so, one person needs to pay 80. We live in a tent standard room, the electric blanket is too hot.🔥 The conditions above are limited to using public toilets, everything else is fine. There is a special Tibetan yak hot pot in the tent. The advantage of staying above is that after watching the sunrise mountain at 8 o'clock in the evening, you don't have to hurry to take the last bus. You can take it slow, or you can experience the wild disco at the base camp of Mount Everest at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters at night and watch the stars.🌌Overall, it is not bad.😌The little Everest base camp did not have any altitude sickness at all. It turns out that it is not easy to have altitude sickness for people who do not like sports and lie in bed every day

Tibet Lacking oxygen but not faith Crossing one pass after another Navigating the 108 bends Just like the ups and downs of life Only by experiencing faith together can we become each other's faith No matter if we walk fast or slow, the most important thing is walking together Standing before the world's highest peak and gazing at it It feels as if some kind of promise has been fulfilled He said: Will you marry me? I said: I will Under the witness of Mount Everest We will be happy ❤️
