STORYLINE:
A Chinese expedition team reached the peak of Mount Cho Oyu on Sunday and set up an automatic weather station atop this mountain for the first time.
The establishment of the weather station is aimed at revealing more about the characteristics of climate change in this extremely high-altitude region.
Located on the China-Nepal border, Mt. Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8,201 meters.
This is the first time Chinese scientists have scaled a peak exceeding 8,000 meters in altitude apart from Mt. Qomolangma, the world's highest summit.
The summit of Mt. Cho Oyu is particularly wide and broad similar to a football field, which is very rare among the highest peaks
