Beijing: China on Saturday reopened the scenic area of Mt Everest, known as Mount Qomolangma, in the Tibet Autonomous Region after it was closed to the public following the January earthquake.
The area was closed on January 7 after a 6.8-magnitude quake struck Dingri, home to the northern base camp of the world’s highest peak, Mount Qomolangma.
The quake claimed 126 lives and left 188 others injured.
