A group of eight hikers were crossing the Taibaishan mountain in Baoji city, Shaanxi Province, when they were hit by a snow storm, according to Duan Zhijun, head of a local rescue team.
They had gathered for the May 1 national holiday. Two bodies were found, and at least one person remains missing.
Their identities have yet to be announced. Five of the team survived, Duan was quoted as saying by state-run Xinhua news agency.
Rescuers said there were several other outdoor teams crossing the Qinling mountain during the holiday, and more people were feared missing.
