What is the danger in Hoh Xil?

Kekexili is one of the largest uninhabited areas in the world and is known as the "Back Garden of the Earth". However, Hoh Xil is also a place full of dangers, mainly reflected in the following aspects. First of all, the climate in Hoh Xil is very harsh. Because it is located on the plateau, the temperature is extremely low and the oxygen is thin, which can easily cause altitude sickness and other physical discomforts. At the same time, there are also natural disasters such as sandstorms and hailstorms. Secondly, Hoh Xil is the habitat of Tibetan antelopes and other wild animals, and illegal hunting, poaching and other illegal activities occur frequently, resulting in a reduction in the number of wild animal populations and damage to the ecological environment. Illegal hunters also often use explosives, poisons and other tools, which can easily cause fires and damage the ecological environment. Finally, Hoh Xil is the border area between China and India, so there are border conflicts and security risks. Especially in the border areas of India, problems such as ethnic separatist forces and terrorism occur frequently, posing threats to the security of Hoh Xil.
