Top Ten Secret Places in the World

1. Shennongjia, China

Shennongjia is located at the junction of Sichuan and Hubei between the Yangtze River and the Han River in China. It is known as the "Roof of Central China", covering an area of ??3,250 square kilometers, and more than 85% of it is forested. . The average altitude is 1,700 meters, with the highest point reaching 3,105 meters. There are various climate types. When people think of Shennongjia, they can't help but think of "savages". From ancient times to the present, there are a large number of records and legends about savages that make it difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

From 1977 to 1980, relevant departments organized two large-scale field expeditions and collected a large amount of evidence about the existence of savages, such as savage hair, footprints, feces, etc., and also found bamboo nests where savages had lived. . The results of the investigation seem to indicate to people that there is indeed a strange animal unknown to people in Shennongjia.

2. "Bingbingbei" in Henan, China

In the northwest of Shibanyan Township, Lin County, Henan, there is a place called "Bingbingbei" halfway up the Taihang Mountains with an altitude of 1,500 meters. Here, the ice begins to freeze in March, and the ice period lasts for five months; in the cold winter, there is a rolling heat wave. The spring water overflowing from under the rocks is warm and pleasant, and the exotic flowers and plants on both sides of the stream are bright and green.

3. The prohibitive "Gate to Hell" of Kunlun Mountains

Shepherds living in Kunlun Mountains would rather starve their cattle and sheep to death in the Gobi Desert because there is no fat grass to eat. , and dare not enter the ancient and silent valley with lush pasture in the Kunlun Mountains. This valley is Death Valley, known as the "Gate to Hell" of Kunlun Mountains. The valley is covered with wolf furs, bear bones, hunters' steel guns and lonely graves on barren hills, giving the world an eerie and terrifying aura of death.

After investigation, the scientific expedition personnel found that the magnetic anomalies in the area are extremely obvious and distributed over a wide range. The deeper into the valley, the higher the magnetic anomalies are. Under the action of the electromagnetic effect, the charge in the clouds and the magnetic field in the valley cause charge discharge, making this area a minefield, and mines often target running animals.

4. Bermuda Mysterious Triangle

Also known as the Devil’s Triangle and Death Hell. It is said that more than 50 ships and 20 aircraft have mysteriously disappeared here. The slightly triangular-shaped area is located between the southern coast of the United States, Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles. Unexplained events in the area date back to the mid-19th century. Sometimes ships disappear for unknown reasons, and sometimes they disappear without even sending a distress signal.

A prominent example is the disappearance of the U.S. Navy auxiliary ship "One Eye" carrying manganese ore in March 1918, which remains a mystery to this day. In 1945, five U.S. bombers took off from the Fort Lauderdale Air Force Base in Florida. They radioed that they were in distress during a training flight. Then the communication gradually weakened and disappeared, and the rescue team also disappeared.

The Bermuda Islands are a world-famous place located about 600 kilometers east of North Carolina in the United States. Bermuda is surrounded by vast oceans, with beautiful scenery of blue sky, green water, white gulls flying, and the fragrance of flowers. However, the reason why Bermuda is famous is not because of its beautiful island scenery, but when people think of Bermuda, they will think of the terrifying and mysterious "Bermuda Triangle".

According to legend, ships or planes sailing here often disappear mysteriously. Not to mention finding out the reasons afterwards, even the wreckage of the ships and planes cannot be found. So much so that when the most experienced sailors or pilots pass by here, they have no intention of admiring the beautiful and picturesque sea scenery. Instead, they are trembling with fear, fearing that they will encounter bad luck and be buried in the belly of the fish for no apparent reason. Today, the Bermuda Triangle has become synonymous with mysterious and incomprehensible disappearances.

5. The "Devil City" in the Chinese Desert

This is an uninhabited but bustling "city". When the sky is clear and the breeze is blowing, people walk around the castle and can hear bursts of beautiful music floating in the distance, as if thousands of wind chimes are swaying in the wind, and like thousands of strings playing lightly.

Here is the famous "Devil City" in Xinjiang. Who built it? Where did the countless strange sounds come from? After field inspections, scientists proposed a new Viewpoint - "Feng Cheng Theory". In fact, the "Devil City" is a "city of wind". There are no ghosts making waves, but the raging wind playing a role in the middle.

Various phenomena in the "Devil City" can be explained by the "wind erosion landform" of earth science. Under the action of air currents, strong winds blow up the sand grains on the ground, constantly impacting and rubbing against the rocks. As a result, various soft and hard rocks are carved into various strange shapes under the action of the wind.

6. Geysers on the Yarlung Zangbo River

There is a magical spring - geyser - in the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet, China. The water of the geyser flows trickling. After a series of short pauses and eruptions, with a soul-stirring loud noise, the high-temperature water vapor suddenly rushes out of the spring mouth and immediately expands into a water column with a diameter of more than 2 meters and a height of about 20 meters. The steam ball at the top continued to roll and jump, heading straight into the blue sky. Its eruption cycle is to automatically stop after spraying for a few minutes or dozens of minutes, and then erupt again after a period of time. The geyser gets its name because it sprays and sprays all the time.

7. The world-famous Egyptian pyramids

When you were building "palaces" with building blocks as a child, did you ever think about building them into a tower hundreds of meters high? Huge building? If you were asked to build it with huge stones each weighing tens or hundreds of tons, what would you do? There are more than 80 pyramids scattered along the Nile River in Egypt, North Africa, becoming one of the eight wonders of the world.

The Pyramid of Khufu is the tallest among them. The pyramid is made of huge stones. There is no adhesive between the stones. Instead, it is made of stones stacked on top of each other. It is even difficult for people to put them together. A sharp blade is inserted into the gaps between the stones. The pyramid has gone through ups and downs for nearly 5,000 years, and it still stands proudly in the sky, majestic and amazing!

8. The mysterious "Snowless Dry Valley" in Antarctica

Antarctica is the continent least visited by humans. There are many phenomena there that people cannot explain. The "Snowless Dry Valley" is One of the most mysterious. The Antarctic continent, with a total area of ??14 million square kilometers, is mostly covered by ice and snow. Viewed from a high altitude, the Antarctic continent is a plateau with a high center and low sides, and a shape that looks very much like a pot lid. This layer of ice, which is vividly called the ice cap, has an average thickness of 2,000 meters, and the thickest place can reach 4,800 meters. The continental ice sheet and the sea ice in the surrounding ocean are connected in winter to form a white ice sheet with a total area larger than the African continent. At this time, its area exceeds 33 million square kilometers.

9. The "Avenue of Hell" in America with planetary orbit data

In the famous ancient city of Teotihuacan in America, there is a long road called the "Avenue of Hell" Broad avenues from north to south. In the 10th century AD, the Aztecs who first came here came to this ancient city along this avenue and found that there was no one in the city. They believed that the buildings on both sides of the avenue were the tombs of the gods, so Just gave it this strange name.

In 1974, a man named Hugh Harleston claimed at the International American Congress in Mexico that he had found a unit of measurement in Teotihuacan that suited all its streets and buildings. . By using computer calculations, the length of this unit is 1.059 meters. For example, the heights of Teotihuacan's Quetzalcoatl Temple, Pyramid of the Moon and Pyramid of the Sun are 21, 42 and 63 "units" respectively, with a ratio of 1:2:3. When Harleston measured the temples and pyramid ruins on both sides of the "Avenue of the Underworld", he discovered a surprising fact: the distance between the ruins on the "Avenue of the Underworld" happened to represent the orbital data of the planets in the solar system.

However, humans only discovered Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1845, and Pluto in 1930. So in the prehistoric era when chaos first emerged, which invisible hand guided the people who built Teotihuacan?

10. Mysterious Ghost Island

Westerners love sailing, and there have always been many strange things in the history of navigation. On the horizon north of the Spitsbergen Islands, the British captain Julius discovered land in 1707, but this land was always inaccessible. However, it is worth affirming that this land was not an optical illusion, so he named "land" Marked on the chart. Two hundred years later, Admiral Makarov and his expedition team members, who were on an expedition to the North Pole aboard the icebreaker "Yermak", discovered a piece of land again, and it was the same piece of land that Julius had seen. The navigator Volslei also discovered the outline of this island when he passed through the area in 1925. But when scientists went to investigate in 1928, they did not find any islands in this area.
