Shishapangma is the youngest among fourteen mountains above 8000m, that lies in high Himalayan ranges in Tibet. Only very few people in the world had an idea about the Shishapangma before the Chinese opened Tibet to the western summiteers in 1980 and the Tibetans regard it as a holy mountain. Meanwhile, Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest mountain in the world at 8,188 metres above sea level. Cho Oyu means "Turquoise Goddess" in Tibetan.
