00:00 A Chinese expedition team reached the peak of Mount Choyu on Sunday and set up an automatic

00:06 weather station atop this mountain for the first time. The establishment of the weather

00:10 station is aimed at revealing more about the characteristics of climate change in this

00:15 extremely high altitude region. Located on the China-Nepal border, Mount Choyu is the

00:22 sixth highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8,201 meters. This is the first

00:29 time Chinese scientists have scaled a peak exceeding 8,000 meters in altitude apart from

00:34 Mount Chimalama, the world's highest summit. The summit of Mount Choyu is particularly

00:40 wide and broad, similar to a football field, which is very rare among the highest peaks

00:46 in the world and is a feature which makes it easy to set up and repair a weather station.
