In 2020, the Golmud City Public Security Bureau in Qinghai Province issued a message that no social group or individual is allowed to enter Coco Xili at will, and all those who drive passengers must first file for the record.
Why did the authorities issue such a notice, and what kind of secrets and dangers are hidden in Coco Ciri? Today we will take a closer look.
Coco Xili is known as no man's land, and there are four major uninhabited areas in China, namely Lop Nur in Xinjiang, Arjin in the north of the East Kunlun Mountains, Changtang in Tibet and Coco Xili in Qinghai.
These no-man's lands are beautiful and dangerous, and people yearn for them, but they are afraid of the horror behind them. Of those who ventured into Coco Siri, only a few managed to cross, and many more disappeared into the area silently.
In 2020, the senior girl disappeared after entering Coco Ciri alone. After 24 days of disappearance, Qinghai police found the girl's broken remains.
In the same year, a post-95 boy from Henan rode into Coco Xili alone and disappeared for more than 45 days. Friends contacted me many times and did not get a reply.
On July 11, a staff member in Coco Ciri called the police to say that no one had found a tent and household items. The police went to investigate overnight, and after 2 days of searching, they found the boy's body in a pool of water.
These two young men are the epitome of countless people who have tried to cross Coco Ciri. Many people challenged themselves to enter this no-man's land alone, but most sacrificed their lives.
Coco Ciri, who devours human life, is not an abomination, but suffocatingly beautiful. There are rolling sand dunes, holy snow-capped mountains, azure lakes and many vibrant wildlife.
"Coco Xili", which means "green mountain beam" or "beautiful maiden" in Mongolian, has a total area of 4.5 million hectares and is located in Yushu, Qinghai.
This is one of the most abundant nature reserves in China' wildlife resources, and humans are not allowed to step into it at will, but it is a paradise for highland wildlife to flourish.
There are 30 known species of mammals in Coco siri, 56 species of birds, 2 species of split-bellied fish and 4 species of loach that are distributed only in the plateau.
Wild yaks, brown bears, white-lipped deer and other animals inhabit Coco Siri, where more than 230 species of wildlife. One of the most eye-catching animals is the Tibetan antelope.

Tibetan antelope is unique to China and is listed as a national first-class protected animal, Coco Xili is their main calf producing place, and the film "Coco Xili" tells the story of protecting Tibetan antelope.
The mystery and beauty of Coco Ciri draws people to visit, but don't forget the aforementioned warning: you are not allowed to enter at will. People who have died in this area are also reminding them of the dangers with their lives.
It is understood that when the movie "Coco Xili" was filmed in no man's land, it encountered great difficulties. The filming team slept in the wind, extreme lack of oxygen, headaches, vomiting, strong altitude sickness and other problems.
Some people had lung infections, some people had heart attacks, some logistics staff left the team in a hurry, and one creator would rather run back to Beijing without money.
The shooting team had more than 100 people at the beginning, and only more than 60 people were left behind, which took more than a month longer than expected. The dangers of no man's land in Coco Siri can be seen here.
The reason why the Coco Ciri no-man's land is called the "human forbidden area" and is not allowed to enter at will is mainly for the following reasons.
The weather is unpredictable
The average annual temperature in Coco Siri is low, with a minimum temperature of minus 46.2 °C. Because the surface vegetation is sparse and the specific heat capacity is also small, the rate of heating and cooling will be very fast.
When there is a sun, you may feel warm, but the next second, the dark clouds cover the sun, the temperature will drop rapidly, making people feel cold.
At the same time, the wind speed will be very large, under the double "torture" of low temperature and strong wind, people's skin will feel severe pain, and the original route and direction may also be deviated.
anoxia
The higher the altitude, the thinner the oxygen, which is why many people experience altitude sickness after reaching high altitudes. The average altitude of Coco Siri is 4600 meters, which is much higher than the elevation of Lhasa, and the highest peak is 6860 meters.
The situation of poor oxygen is a huge challenge for humans, and the slightest carelessness can lead to life-threatening. If you encounter wild animals such as bears at this time, it is even more fatal.
If you choose to pretend to be dead, and the brown bear happens to be hungry, it may not let you go, but may treat you as a belly meal. If you choose to escape, you can't escape, and the escape itself will consume a lot of energy and oxygen, increasing the risk of death.
Lack of fresh water
Water is the source of life, and in no-man's land where supplies are scarce, water scarcity is likely to be fatal. There are many cocoa silis rivers and lakes, with 107 lakes larger than 1 square kilometer and more than 7,000 lakes less than 1 square kilometer.
Known as the "Land of a Thousand Lakes", it is a beautiful scenery, but most of these lakes are saltwater lakes, and freshwater lakes are rare and very scattered. When you feel thirsty, if you drink the water of the saltwater lake, it will exacerbate the water shortage.
It is difficult to call for help
In order to better protect the organisms and environment in Coco Siri, protected areas have been established, but it is undeniable that the infrastructure here, such as signals, is far inferior to other places.
Moreover, the area of the no-man's land is very large, so once in danger, it is difficult for people to send out messages for help; even if the message is successfully sent, it will take a certain amount of time for the search and rescue team to find the exact location and arrive.
The no-man's land of Coco Xili can be described as dangerous, but one thing can be confirmed is that according to the relevant information of China's National Geographic, the territory is a permafrost area of China, and there will be no situation in which the "Coco Xili" film sinks into the quicksand.
Coco Ciri is a "forbidden area of life" for people on the outside, but it is a paradise for creatures inside. In addition to protecting people's lives and safety, why is the "prohibition of free entry" not protecting the lives of people in the territory?
In the past, when the protected area was not yet established, many poachers were driven by interests to take risks and hunt Tibetan antelopes to obtain their fur, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of Tibetan antelopes.

Later, some people stepped forward to fight poachers with flesh and blood and protect the wild animals in Coco Siri; with the establishment of the reserve, the ecological restoration of Tibetan areas represented by Coco Siri has achieved remarkable results, and every guardian deserves our respect.
