Photo taken on May 9, 2020 shows the advance camp of Chinese surveyors at an altitude of 6,500 meters on Mount Qomolangma in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. A team of more than 30 Chinese surveyors on Thursday arrived at the advance camp on Mount Qomolangma in an endeavor to accomplish a mission to remeasure the height of the world's highest mountain. On Saturday, the team decided to cancel a plan to move on to a camp at an altitude of 7,028 meters due to snow accumulation on the trekking route. All will stay at the advance camp for safety concerns. (Photo by Tashi Tsering/Xinhua)
