Many years ago, director Lu Chuan became famous with the movie "Coco Xili", which also made the magnificent beauty of Coco Xili known to more people and became the dream of countless travel enthusiasts. But even better than the beauty of Coco Ciri is its danger, where you may not even be able to fight a rabbit. In recent years, more and more explorers and tourists have lost their lives, and now the Golmud City Public Security Bureau in Qinghai has issued a notice prohibiting all forms of solo cocoa sili. So how dangerous is Coco Xilai?
Located in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in southwestern Qinghai, Coco Xili is one of the four largest uninhabited areas in China and the largest, with a total area of about 45,000 square kilometers, spanning qinghai, Xinjiang and Tibet provinces. The so-called no-man's land, that is, no one can survive here for a long time, and Coco Xili is still one of the world's three major no-man's land, which shows that it is much more dangerous than the other three no-man's lands in China, Lop Nur, Argin and Changtang, so Coco Xili is also known as the "forbidden area of life" and the "third pole" of the world.
Although Coco Xili means "beautiful girl" in Mongolian, its natural geographical environment is not as beautiful as its name and scenery, and its danger mainly stems from the harsh climate and natural conditions. Because Coco Xili is located in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, including the south of the Kunlun Mountains and the north of the Ulan-Ula Mountains, the average altitude of Coco Xili is very high, reaching more than 4600 meters, and the lowest leopard gorge in the region is also 4200 meters, while the Bukada Banfeng Peak north of the Kunlun Mountains is the highest peak in Coco Xili, with an altitude of 6860 meters. There is a way that "the high place is not cold", the higher the altitude, the colder the climate, but coco xili has reached the extreme.
In the area of Xijin Wulan Lake, the warmest area in Coco Xili, the warmest time of the year is about minus 4 degrees, while the coldest area of Coco West, Le Xie Wu Dan Tso, is still kept at minus 10 degrees when the warmest time of the year, and even reaches minus 46 degrees when it is coldest. Because of this, Coco Xilai is basically a no-man's land developed in the permafrost zone, with the frozen soil area accounting for more than 90% of the total area, nearly 300 glaciers, and the ice reserves are about 81.6 billion cubic meters.
In addition, snow-capped mountains and complex landscapes also mean that the air pressure is low and oxygen is thin. The oxygen content of Coco Siri is not even half of that in the coastal areas. For example, in other areas, boiling water takes up to 100 degrees to boil, but in some areas of Coco Siri, 80 degrees is already a boiling point. Some small partners see here, may say that boiling water faster is not a good thing, but also save time. But it also means that less than half of the oxygen people breathe here, and this state of hypoxia is only three days, and there is an 80% chance that people will suffer from respiratory diseases such as respiratory infections and tracheitis. Although these diseases are minor diseases, even sometimes if the symptoms are not serious, taking medicine for two days will be better. But these are general cases. Not suitable in Coco Siri, where a small cold can cause high-altitude pulmonary edema, making it more difficult to breathe when oxygen is already thin, and even coughing up blood.
Once suffering from high-altitude pulmonary edema, if it is not treated in time, it will not take long to die. And what is more dangerous is that there is no hospital around Coco Xili, and if you want to go to the hospital, you can only completely get out of Coco Xili and continue to move forward. So even if you have altitude pulmonary edema, fortunately there are companions who are willing to take you to the hospital. The end result is nothing more than death on the way to the doctor, and it is even possible that the complex geographical environment will make your companions take their lives here in a panic.
The landscape of Coco Ciri is complex, full of quicksand, swamps or wetlands. There are often explorers who encounter such a dangerous situation, that is, the car is driven into the unfathomable swamp and wetland, the deeper it moves, the deeper it is, and can only abandon the car to escape, and in the movie "Coco Xili", there is a scene of the mountain patrol members being engulfed in quicksand. At this time, you should not hold the idea of luck, think that you can call for help, do not say that these dangers occur in an instant, even if there is time to ask you for help, your phone can not be called, because Coco Siri has no signal at all, and even high-tech communication equipment does not work here.
If you are lucky enough to successfully abandon the car and escape, your confrontation with willpower will really begin, the weather in Coco Siri is very changeable, it is possible that one second is still a clear sky, the next second is a heavy rain, and from time to time accompanied by winds above level 5. In this case, it is very difficult to hike through Coco Siri, and it is not bad to walk 15 kilometers a day. And the longer you stay in Coco Ciri, the more dangers and difficulties you face, and how to meet the daily drinking water is a big problem.
Don't look at Coco Siri has the name of "the land of a thousand lakes", there are more than 7,000 large and small lakes, and there are many glaciers. But most of these lakes are saltwater lakes, which only make people more and more thirsty. Glaciers also only melt during the summer, and the last influx of glacial meltwater is also these saltwater lakes. Therefore, many tourists and explorers are dying of thirst on the way through Coco Ciri.
Although Coco Siri is very dangerous and not suitable for human beings to enter, its ecological environment has not been destroyed by too many people, and it has been well preserved, and it is currently one of the most perfectly preserved areas of the original ecological environment in the world. Since it is a pristine ecological environment, it naturally has the most representative wild animals. For many wild animals, Coco Xili is simply their paradise, here inhabit a total of more than 230 kinds of wild animals, in addition to the most representative and most famous Tibetan antelope, wild yak, brown bear, white-lipped deer this rare animals, there are more than 50 kinds of birds, can be said to be the veritable China's largest wildlife park, so Coco Xili is also known as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau rare wildlife gene bank. However, do not look at these animals cute to take lightly, their danger can not be underestimated, such as wild yaks, brown bears and other animals feel that their territory is offended, they may take the initiative to attack humans. They are large, and once someone is attacked, the injuries are considered small.
The presence of this series of dangers has led to a mortality rate of crossing Coco Siri that is completely lower than that of climbing Mount Everest. But even so, there are still many explorers and tourists who regard crossing Coco Siri as their dream, ignorant and fearless intrusive into it, and finally sleep in the beautiful and dangerous Coco Siri, just last year there were two accidents in which tourists died in Coco Siri. Therefore, in September last year, the Golmud City Public Security Bureau in Qinghai had to issue a notice saying that it was forbidden to illegally cross Coco Xili in all forms or travel and explore here. If it is necessary to go, you also need to go to the Public Security Bureau for the record in advance, and after obtaining approval, you can enter Coco Xili. All in all, I hope that the majority of explorers and tourists will always remember that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, and they will fear nature and cherish life.
