Recently, a friend was on a self-driving tour in Tibet, and watched his solo self-driving trip to the No Man's Land of Changtang, on the one hand, it was terrifying, on the other hand, it was a magical and spectacular natural scenery, as a "holy land" in the southwest border, Tibet has its own unique story.
Compared with the bustling hustle and bustle of big cities, this pure land seems to have a kind of "magical magic" that can purify the heart, making countless explorers and donkey friends want to move, but the real no-man's land, the danger is far more than nature, and life is tested all the time.
Someone once said that once in a lifetime, you must be crazy once, and if you are not crazy, you will grow old, but behind the madness is crossing no man's land, I don't know whether this is a lack of reverence for nature, or the charm of the magical nature of Tibet.
Many people are puzzled, why do they say that crossing no man's land alone is almost "there is no going back", how dangerous is no man's land?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > dangerous first, more dangerous than nature is the human heart</h1>
Friends said that he had entered Tibet for the third time, walked through the Yunnan-Tibet Line, walked through the Qinghai-Tibet Line, entered Tibet from 318 for the third time, went deep into northwest Tibet along the 317 National Highway to Nagqu, crossed Nagqu to the north of 317, which was the southern edge of the Changtang No Man's Land, and then entered the Ali region in the westernmost part of Tibet.
Around the northern part of the Changtang no-man's land, that is, the southern part of Xinjiang has been driving along the road, passing through the area between The Coco Xili and the Arjin Mountain No Man's Land, and finally coming out of the Qinghai-Tibet Line, the whole trip to Tibet can be described as extremely dangerous.
At the end of 317, the next stop is the Ali area, there are two lakes in the middle, friends he chose to walk a long-abandoned old road, but never expected that on the way, encountered two cars across the road on both sides, leaving a very narrow road in the middle, off-road vehicles can not pass.
There are 4 people in the two cars, the gang saw the friend's car passing, they waved to stop, at the beginning the person said the friend did not understand at all, one of them will say Chinese, through simple communication, roughly means that they had a traffic accident, the cash ran out, want to find a friend to borrow money.
Hearing this, the friend instantly understood, this so-called borrowing money, is an excuse, there must be no repayment, but look at the other party's forces, hard to come is certainly not a wise move, so said, yes, take out the cash on the body is only 1800 yuan left, handed to them, but the other party after reading, said that it is still not enough for them to go back to the cost.
At this time, the friend said that he still had 800 on his card, let them send the card number to the friend, the friend transferred, the other party immediately said that there is no signal here, and then see if you can still find cash? The friend repeatedly said that it was indeed gone, he also went to Ali's relative's house, and did not bring so much, at this time the other party seemed to believe, so he got on the car and prepared to leave, and the friend was able to get out.
I have also heard that there have been similar encounters in tourism, some of them have broken the money to avoid disasters, and a donkey friend has escaped directly with a foot on the accelerator, the other party has driven hundreds of meters, good luck, the other party has no more chase, in fact, friends still have money, that is, another part of the money is hidden behind the saddle, in case the money is lost, there is a spare, you know that in the Tibetan region, paper money is the circulation of goods.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > dangerous second, the climate environment is extremely harsh</h1>
Tibet is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the world's latest uplift, the highest altitude plateau, has always been known as the "roof of the world", high in the west and low in the east, the terrain is complex and diverse, the scenes are numerous, "a mountain to see the four seasons, ten miles of different days" is the best proof of the climate of Tibet, the country and mountains are picturesque, beautiful, but behind it is full of dangers.
The first 1 second is still blue sky and white clouds, the next second is dark clouds, wind and snow, blizzard mixed with fist-sized hail, there have been tourist vehicles windshield directly smashed by hail, if people have no protection or avoidance, the car is so, not to mention people are hit, light small injuries, heavy hospitalization.
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, day and night temperature difference is very large, every year from December to February, the daytime temperature is many below 3 degrees, at night minus 30 degrees, low pressure, low temperature, lack of oxygen, which has a very large impact on the human body, it is easy to cause diseases.
High altitude areas are covered by glaciers all year round, low valleys are perennial permafrost, shuttles near glaciers are particularly dangerous, once there is a strong wind intrusion, avalanches are accustomed to it, although unlike in the TV series, talking will cause avalanches, but if the sound is loud and leads to resonance, there is indeed a certain risk.
Lakes and streams can be seen everywhere in Tibet, some small lakes look vegetation on the surface, and if you are not careful, you may fall into an endless swamp, and in the same barren desert area, seemingly calm ground, if you are not careful, you may encounter extreme environments such as quicksand and sandstorms.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > danger three, "high reaction" torture</h1>
The westernmost ali region of Tibet, the average altitude is above 4500 meters, the air is thin, the air pressure is low, the oxygen content in the air is reduced, and even the oxygen content in some high altitude areas has not exceeded 40%, not only people face the symptoms of hypoxia, even some small displacement self-priming cars will be because of the reduction of oxygen content, resulting in insufficient engine combustion, which in turn leads to insufficient power.
At the mouth of Dongda Mountain, at an altitude of about 5130 meters, you will often see some small displacement models driving slowly, even if the floor oil is not fast, and even some directly climb, and finally can only find large displacement or turbo models to pull the slope.
If you live in the coastal plains all year round and enter the high-altitude areas of Tibet for the first time, it is necessary to train the body functions before entering Tibet, and then spend a few more days to slowly transition from the low altitude to the high altitude areas, so that the body can gradually adapt.
Some people may have altitude sickness at altitudes above 2800 meters because of physical reasons, ranging from dizziness, headache, chest tightness and palpitations, to breathing difficulties, nausea and vomiting, high rebound spots on the body, and even life-threatening conditions such as pulmonary edema.
Especially in the case of poor physical fitness, itself has cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, lung diseases, colds and other problems, we must not rush into Tibet, especially in no man's land, hundreds of kilometers of deserted, once there is a cold, high reaction and other situations, if you do not get timely treatment, it will directly endanger life.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > danger four, beasts "haunted", invincible</h1>
More than 1/3 of Tibet is a nature reserve, the original forest vegetation has achieved tens of thousands of species of wild animals, in such extreme conditions, the weak eat the strong, the ultimate survival is not "good stubble", each fierce.
Among them, the Tibetan brown bear, handsome in life, about 2 meters in length, weighing up to 400 kilograms, such a body shape seems clumsy, in fact, the Tibetan brown bear can climb trees, can also swim, more good at running, running speed and endurance far beyond humans, just imagine, in the flat land once encountered Tibetan brown bear, it is not vegetarian, it is really no return.

In addition, there are many ferocious beasts, such as wild yaks, Tibetan mastiffs, golden eagles, wild wolves, etc., adult golden eagles are more than 1 meter long, a pair of wings spread out as wide as 2 meters, can swim at an altitude of 4000 meters, extremely agile, living in peaks, cliffs, river valleys, Gobi and other terrain environments all year round.
Mainly birds, meat eaters, very good at high-altitude dive attacks, its aggression is by no means comparable to ordinary adults, weighing more than 20 kilograms of objects almost easily grabbed.
And the wild wolves are even more numerous, even in the TV series to see the wild wolves or hear the wolf barking, it seems to feel panicked, not to mention in reality, and it is immersive, listening to the howling, it is simply trembling.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > danger five, rescue is extremely difficult</h1>
Tibet, many places are no signal, especially in the depths of no man's land, emergency phones can not be dialed, mobile phones have become the most beautiful bricks, if once in the no man's land encounter danger, the probability of survival is very slim, even if the emergency telephone is dialed, but when you reach the specific location, less than 10 hours, more than a few days.
Usually, even in the surrounding areas of the city to rescue, some need hours or even days, not to mention in the deserted, thousands of kilometers of no man's land, not only difficult to rescue, there is also a great danger to rescue personnel.
Time-consuming and costly, generally after more than 10 days, the rescue operation will be stopped, in this case, there is no food, no water, and it is an extreme climate environment, and the human body limit is up to 4 days.
As early as 2015, the three provinces of Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai jointly issued an announcement prohibiting all units or individuals from entering the three national nature reserves of Arjin Mountain, Coco Xili and Changtang to carry out illegal crossing activities, and the announcement said that once investigated and punished, criminal responsibility will be pursued according to law.
Due to unauthorized entry into no man's land, there were not too many cases that finally came out, on July 7, 2020, 24-year-old girl Huang Mou made an appointment for a taxi in the morning, from Golmud to Coco Siri, and then played alone in many attractions around Golmud, the last time was July 13, the mobile phone was located on the Qinghai-Tibet line.
The Blue Sky Rescue Team, which was in charge of search and rescue, immediately organized hundreds of search and rescue personnel to search and rescue from the southern part of the Arjin Mountains, Qinghai Coco Xili, tibet and other areas of the Qiang nationality, but for several days they found nothing.
After 17 days of disappearance, the police reported that on the afternoon of July 30, on the banks of the river on the south side of the Qingshui River in the no-man's land of Coco Xili, he was found to carry his ID card, student ID card and other items, and then after investigation, he found human bone tissue, which was confirmed to be Huang Mou by DNA firmness, and after preliminary investigation, it was ruled out that he killed.
Local herders said that when they first heard the news of the disappearance, they thought that it was difficult to save, and in no man's land like Coco Xili, even experienced local herders or people with strong survival ability in the wild were fully equipped, it was difficult to ensure safety alone.
Not to mention that an inexperienced girl, with a simple camping tent and food, dares to enter no man's land alone, which is equivalent to "there is no going back".
All in all, we must not easily try to cross the four "forbidden places of life" of Changtang, Coco Xili, Arjin Mountain, and Lop Nur, which are not only illegal, but also acts that endanger their own lives, and are done and cherished!
In no man's land, at any time may encounter extreme weather with wind and snow, may have colds, altitude sickness, may get lost, no food, lack of water, and may encounter wild animal attacks at night, etc., any one of which may endanger life, not to mention when multiple dangers appear at the same time, it can only resign itself to fate.
