Northern Tibet in the Dead Zone

Sixth place: No Man's Land-Northern Tibet

In the middle of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a place called "life forbidden zone" by scholars and experts from all over the world, that is, no man's land in northern Tibet.

The "no man's land" is in the northwest of Tibet, with an area of 600,000 square kilometers and an average elevation of 5,000 meters. This place is almost deserted except for mountains, lakes, grasslands and wild animals. There have been explorations in history, but few people survived because of lack of food or disorientation. In people's impression, "no man's land" is a desolate and horrible world.

The feeling of "no man's land" is first of all the beauty of natural scenery. The color contrast between the blue sky and the earth here is strong, there is no air pollution, and the air transparency is high. Everything looks very clear, which often gives people the illusion of distance. The beauty here is a kind of rough beauty, especially in the hinterland of "double lakes", which gives people the feeling that they are not on the earth, and the scenery here has far exceeded many people's previous aesthetic experience.

"No man's land" can be said to be a huge natural wildlife park. The grassland here is vast, but the growth period of grass is short, but it is still a large Gobi. You can often see herds of wild horses and antelopes when cars run freely on land without roads. Others, such as deer, Tibetan wild donkeys, wild yaks and even wolves and bears, often appear in sight and then disappear in the distance.

The living conditions in "no man's land" are very bad. The air here has a low oxygen content and the climate is changeable. Although there are many lakes, they are all saline-alkali water. In recent years, under the organization of the government, some herdsmen have moved to the "no man's land", so the "no man's land" is no longer empty, but friends who go there should be more careful. After all, it was once a "forbidden area" for human beings.
