The climate in the mountain pass is unpredictable, the air is thin, and the oxygen content is less than 50[%] of that in the plain, and altitude sickness can also cause headaches.

The specific location of Jieshan Daban is in Songxi Village, Dongpu Township, Ritu County, Tibet. Its altitude is 5,347 meters, which is higher than the base camp of Mount Everest.
