Gilgit is close to the Himalayas, and many peaks are climbing destinations for climbers, known for their natural beauty. Nanga Peak is a mountain peak at the western end of the Himalayas. At an altitude of 8125 meters, it is the ninth highest peak in the world. The local area is steep and the residents are few. It is a holy place for mountain enthusiasts and explorers. However, due to the impact of the security situation in Pakistan, foreign tourists to Pakistan have also decreased sharply, and the tourism industry has been greatly affected. However, the security situation in the Gilgit region is relatively good, and no similar incident has occurred before.
On the Chinese side, only Zhang Jingchuan, who accompanied Yang Chunfeng with the team, escaped by chance.
