Hoh Xil Nature Reserve is located in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in the southwest of Qinghai, spanning Qiangtang Grassland in Tibet, Kunlun Mountain in Qinghai and Xinjiang. Hoh Xil, with its high altitude, thin air, cold climate and extremely harsh natural conditions, is also known as the "life forbidden zone" because human beings cannot survive here for a long time. It is precisely because there is no influence of human activities that there are natural and unique living conditions suitable for plateau wildlife, and Hoh Xil is also called "a paradise for wildlife".
The average altitude of Hoh Xil is over 5000 meters, the air is very thin, and the temperature is very high during the day and night. If you are not a professional who has lived on the plateau for a long time or experienced hypoxemia training, the climate here is easy to make people lack oxygen, and even a small cold can kill people. If you really plan to travel to Hoh Xil, you must be accompanied, otherwise you may die inadvertently and no one will notice.
Hoh Xil also has a name called "Land of Thousand Lakes", but don't be confused by this name. The fresh water resources in Hoh Xil are very scarce. Even though there are hundreds of lakes in 1 square kilometer and more than 7,000 lakes in the whole of Hoh Xil, most of them are freshwater lakes, which cannot be directly drunk by human beings.
The terrain of Hoh Xil is rugged and complicated. There are not only mountains, deserts and wetlands everywhere, but also bogs and marshes everywhere. Without a good sense of direction and a detailed map as an aid, just a quagmire can trap people.
Hoh Xil is one of the nature reserves with the richest wildlife resources in China. In addition to overcoming the harsh weather conditions here, we must always pay attention to being attacked by wild animals. In this forbidden area of human life, there are more than 230 kinds of wild animals such as brown bear, wild yak, plateau wolf and Tibetan gazelle. The animals in Hoh Xil are all wild, and they are very disgusted with "explorers visiting". Tourists will be regarded as prey of malicious invasion. Even if he dies in bad weather, his body will be eaten by vultures.
In short, no man's land in Hoh Xil is in danger. Don't believe the online chicken soup that "you can wash your soul once". After all, no one is sure to come back alive. Poetry and distance are sometimes above words, so don't make uncertain pursuits. Don't let the tragedy happen again and don't disturb the pure land of wildlife in Hoh Xil.
