Why is Qiangtang in Tibet called "life forbidden zone"? What are you afraid of?

China is a vast country, and there will be some. There are even some barren places called life forbidden zones, such as the famous Qiangtang in Tibet, which is one of the four famous life forbidden zones. It is called the forbidden area of life mainly because of its geographical location. Because of the high altitude and cold all the year round, it is difficult for living things to survive.

Qiangtang, Tibet, as a unique super-large uninhabited wilderness, is surrounded by Beitong Gula Mountain, Nyainqentanglha Mountain and Gangdise Mountain, so the Qiangtang Plateau has a high altitude. We know that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is called the roof of the world, and the Qiangtang Plateau can be said to be the roof of the world. Because of this, the air here is very thin, the ultraviolet rays under the sun are very strong, and the high altitude leads to a large temperature difference between day and night. It is this special natural climate condition that makes many plants unable to survive in the local area, and more places are deserts. It is said that Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty also walked around this place when he was studying in the Western Heaven. He would rather walk across the edge of Taklimakan desert.

In addition to the harsh natural environment, the climate here is also difficult to adapt to. Qiangtang plateau is cold all year round. Walking here, you will find it difficult to breathe and your throat is very uncomfortable. And it is easy to encounter a snowstorm here, as soon as you enter Qiangtang, Tibet. There will be a shortage of water and food, but it is a paradise for some wild animals, such as wolves, bulls and donkeys. If humans walk through it, they are easily attacked by animals. But interestingly, the reason why these wild animals can thrive here is precisely because of the excessive hunting of them by human beings, which has pushed them into the forbidden zone of life.

Qiangtang's environment is neither suitable for planting nor for animal husbandry. Even staying in the local area, I feel very uncomfortable. In order to protect Qiangtang, it is forbidden by law to break into Qiangtang Nature Reserve at will. Now Qiangtang in Tibet has been listed as an animal sanctuary and a forbidden area for human beings.
