Measures for the Administration of Foreigners' Mountaineering in China
以珠峰为例，2025 年春季尼泊尔南坡发放登山许可证 456 张，中国北坡发放 48 张，总登顶人数预计达 846 人次。商业化登山服务的完善（如夏尔巴向导、氧气配备）降低了攀登门槛，吸引更多爱好者参与。例如，尼泊尔政府将珠峰南坡春季登山许可费从 1.1 万美元涨至 1.5 万美元，但仍挡不住登山者的热情。
Take Mount Everest as an example. In the spring of 2025, 456 climbing permits were issued for the southern slope in Nepal, and 48 for the northern slope in China, with the total number of summit attempts expected to reach 846. The improvement of commercial mountaineering services (such as Sherpa guides and oxygen supply) has lowered the threshold for climbing, attracting more enthusiasts to participate. For instance, the Nepalese government raised the spring climbing permit fee for the southern slope of Mount Everest from $11,000 to $15,000, yet it still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of climbers.
中国拥有 14 座海拔 8000 米以上山峰中的 9 座，其中珠峰北坡、希夏邦马峰、卓奥友峰等是国际登山者的热门目标。2025 年中尼友好登山交流活动吸引了 160 余名中外山友共同登顶洛堆峰，而神仙居第十届中韩国际登山大会则吸引了近 500 人参与，体现了中国低海拔山峰在国际民间交流中的影响力。
China is home to 9 out of the 14 mountains worldwide with an elevation of over 8,000 meters. Among them, the north slope of Mount Everest, Shishapangma, and Cho Oyu are popular destinations for international mountaineers. The 2025 China-Nepal Friendly Mountaineering Exchange Activity attracted more than 160 Chinese and foreign mountaineers to jointly summit Lhodrak Peak, while the 10th China-South Korea International Mountaineering Conference in Shenxianju drew nearly 500 participants, demonstrating the influence of China's low-elevation mountains in international non-governmental exchanges.
中国政府通过举办登山大会、优化交通和救援设施（如珠峰大本营的清洁能源设备），提升登山体验。同时，地方政府如西藏、青海等地出台细则，规范管理并开放更多山峰（如青海海拔 4500 米以上山峰需申请许可），进一步促进登山产业发展。
The Chinese government has enhanced the mountaineering experience by hosting mountaineering conferences and optimizing transportation and rescue facilities (such as clean energy equipment at the Everest Base Camp). Meanwhile, local governments in regions like Tibet and Qinghai have issued detailed regulations to standardize management and open more mountains to mountaineering (for example, mountains above 4,500 meters in Qinghai require an application for permission), further promoting the development of the mountaineering industry.
