Introduction

The Rongbuk Valley is a plain formed by the alluvial deposition of a river formed by the melting of the Rongbuk Glacier under Mount Everest. It eventually flows into the "Pengqu" River in Dingri County, leading to Nepal. The average elevation is about 4,000 meters, with green fields and village along the way. The mountain section shows a yellow-brown color and obvious compression folds, with traces of the history of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau changes engraved on it.
