(230522) -- LHASA, May 22, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Herdsmen make tea at a tent near the Mount Qomolangma base camp in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, May 17, 2023. Due to the complicated natural conditions of the world's highest peak Mount Qomolangma, yak conveyance has become an essential means of transporting goods and materials for scientific expedition to Mt. Qomolangma. Herdsmen living in Zhaxizom Township of Tingri County, the nearest administrative township in China to Mt. Qomolangma, have been providing yak services to climbers in response to demand. The herdsmen's work of yak conveyance usually starts from walking the yaks onto the Mt. Qomolangma base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. Then they load these yaks with goods like oxygen cylinders and tents before heading for advance camp at an altitude of 6,500 meters on Mt. Qomolangma.

    (231113) -- LHASA, Nov. 13, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Nov. 10, 2023 shows a winter pasture at night in Dabug Village of Damxung County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. The county of Damxung, meaning "carefully selected pasture" in Tibetan language, is located at the southern foothill of the Nyainqentanglha Range, with an average elevation of about 4,200 meters. Each September, 33-year-old villager Yonten and other herders migrate north to the lower winter pastures, to escape from the extreme cold and oxygen deficit on the plateau. With the implementation of the housing project for farmers and herders in Xizang in recent years, shelters made of brick and stone, movable board houses that have replaced yak hair tents, along with the upgraded facilities of electricity and water supply, have made grassland life much easier at the winter pastures. As the owner of more than 100 yaks and over 200 sheep, Yonten's annual income is expected to reach 110,000 yuan (about 15,086 U.S. dolla
