Fees for climbing mountains in China are applicable. These fees are for peaks that have been climbed at least one time before:

For each member above the number of 10 an additional charge will be made: 10% for every extra member.


Virgin peaks, that is mountains who have never been climbed before, have much higher peek fees. How much exactly is charged depends on fact as whether it is in a closed or open area, the exact height, how much interest is shown in it etc. In the present the height of the fee has become somewhat negotiable, depending on with who you are specifically dealing. This are the ranges for fees, (note that in China peaks like unclimbed 8011 meter high Broad peak North summit are considered independent objectives and thus are charged as being so);
