Hoh Xil, the mysterious land known as the "Beautiful Girl", attracts adventurers from all over the world with its magnificent natural scenery and diverse wildlife. But at the same time, its desolation and danger are also prohibitive, and it is called the "forbidden area of life".
25-year-old Xiaomei, a young girl with a passion for photography, decided to travel to Hoh Xil alone in search of the stunning scenery.
With her love for photography and her yearning for nature, Xiaomei plans to shoot a group of works in Hoh Xil. Although her friends advised her to find a few experienced companions to stay safe, Mei firmly believes that only by traveling alone can she capture the most authentic and shocking moments.
In the face of her parents' worries and opposition, Xiaomei did not compromise. She believes that only by facing challenges alone can you truly grow. Unbeknownst to her parents, she quietly packed up and embarked on a journey to Hoh Xil.
However, this decision led to an irreparable tragedy.
"Today the weather was bright, and I drove slowly into Hoh Xil in my rented SUV. The ground is frozen and the car is driving very slowly. See herds of antelopes along the way, which look exceptionally beautiful in the sun. I picked up my camera and captured some beautiful shots.
Suddenly, I saw a wolf in the rearview mirror. Strange, aren't wolves in packs? How could a wolf follow me? However, it felt good to have a wolf as a companion on the first day. ”
As can be seen from Xiaomei's diary, on the first day she was full of curiosity and excitement about the environment and was not aware of the potential danger.
"After yesterday's acclimatization, I don't have altitude sickness anymore. At night I camped in an empty Gobi Desert, and the glow of the bonfire made me feel like I was the queen of this world. The silence and starry sky around you are breathtakingly beautiful.
Not far away, there was a wolf howl, which was terrifying. When I woke up in the morning, I saw the wolf, still hovering in the distance, with a fierce gaze. This feeling made me very uneasy, but it also aroused my desire to challenge. I decided to capture more moments with my camera. ”
As can be seen from Xiaomei's diary, she has begun to feel the aura of danger the next day, but still has no choice to return.
"Today's temperature is extremely low, and there is a white expanse everywhere. My compass is broken and doesn't work at all. The legs are weak and the body is very heavy. The wind and sand outside are extremely large, and it is estimated that there are seven or eight levels.
I saw the wolves, they had been wandering in the distance. I tried to take pictures of the wolves, but their gaze gave me chills. For safety, I decided to sleep in the car tonight. ”
On the third day, Mei begins to realize the harsh environment and the threat of wolves, but she still insists on moving on.
"It's still cold today, so I'm going to keep going. Along the way, I saw many white bones, including wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes, and human skeletons.
These scenes made me feel extremely frightened, and my body trembled incessantly. I picked up my camera and tried to record the images, but the fear in my heart made my hands tremble. I really wanted to go home and regret that I didn't follow everyone's advice. ”
Xiaomei's diary reveals her inner fear and regret, but at this time she is already in danger and cannot easily return.
"The car won't start this morning, the temperature is so low. My camera battery is also running out of battery. I saw the wolves, they were staring at me, and there were vultures hovering in the sky not far away. I'm so scared, who can come and save me......"
On this day, Xiaomei's diary came to an abrupt end, and the rescue team found tear stains on the last page.
After Xiaomei went missing, friends and family immediately organized a rescue team to search and rescue. Straddling Qinghai, Tibet, and Xinjiang, Hoh Xil is attractive for its beauty, but also fearsome for its dangers.
In this desolate no-man's land, wolves and vultures are a common sight, adding to the mystery and fear.
Eventually, the search and rescue team found Xiaomei's tent in a desolate Gobi Desert, and not far from the tent, they found a white skeleton with vulture feathers and wolf feathers scattered next to it, and there were blood stains on it.
The search and rescue team also found Xiaomei's backpack, which contained her photographic equipment and ID card, and apparently, she had been killed.
What happened in the past five days, we can only guess through Xiaomei's diary. Unfortunately, this adventure ended in tragedy.
There is no answer to this question.
