Six tourists were caught in an avalanche on Saturday as they
were sledding down a mountain at Ertanggou, Menyuan Hui Autonomous
County, in northwest China's Qinghai
Province.
Three survived the disaster and reported to local police, who
launched a rescue operation with local people.
The body of one of the missing people was found early Sunday
morning. Rescue teams are still attempting to find the other
