The tourists included 13 foreigners, including Australian and Dutch citizens. The tourists were about to go downhill after sightseeing at Qomolangma base camp when a snowstorm blocked the roads. The local government said they had mobilized more than 40 rescuers and machinery to clear the way. (Xinhua/Gyaco) |
