Countdown 06:00:00.
On the second night of trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp, Xiao Zhang Tour Guide led everyone to the South Pool Market.
This is the last human town, and beyond lies the no-man's-land.
All merchants stay here, and many mountaineers gather here for a brief stopover.
Every spring, the South Pool Market becomes bustling and crowded, with a diversity akin to the United Nations. You can even see some foreign climbers performing performance art or magic here.
Some light bonfires here, and people gather outside the town for final preparations, easing their fear of the world's highest peak.
As night falls, Xiao Zhang Tour Guide gathers everyone to enjoy fresh, hot meals, which even includes spicy and sour shredded potatoes…
