There are three major "sacred lakes" in China's ** region, one of which is Mapanyongcuo Lake, which is the second largest natural freshwater lake in China, and Buddhist believers have always regarded it as the holy land "world center", with the reputation of "the mother of the world's rivers".
Next to this sacred lake is the famous "ghost lake" Laang Tso, which means "poisonous" black lake in Tibetan.
Although there is only one road between the two lakes, they are in two completely different states, the water here is dark and dreary, and the water is very bitter.
In such an environment, there is not a single plant or animal in or around the lake, and the lake exhibits all sorts of strange phenomena until explorers and experts come to investigate and explore.
For example, when the sky is clear in the lake, the clouds are rolling on top of the lake, and the surrounding creatures dare not approach the lake.
It is said that when a local herdsman passed by this place, a rapidly rotating mist suddenly appeared in the lake, and along with the mist, there was a terrifying roar.
It is precisely for this reason that no one has dared to enter this lake to explore the depth of this mysterious lake, which also makes its divine color even more hazy.
Legend has it that the lake was once an ancient altar that connected the heavens and the underworld, and that it was a place where high priests traded with gods and ghosts.
But later, after experts came to explore here, these so-called strange points were uncovered one by one, and the swirling water mist seen by the residents was actually a rare phenomenon of "dragon sucking water".
It is a tornado on the surface of the water, with thunderclouds on the top and the surface of the lake below, rotating and moving, and the wind speed inside can reach 200 kilometers per hour, and the danger is even greater than that of a tornado.
So far, it is rarely visited by people, and even animals rarely get close to it, but when the lake is calm, the scenery is still as beautiful as the sacred lake next to it.
Everyone should be familiar with Lop Nur, China's famous "Sea of Death", where China once established its first nuclear test base in this area.
In 1964, the first hydrogen bomb was successfully tested in this "sea of death", and 45 nuclear tests were successfully carried out here, which is known as the "cradle of China's nuclear weapons".
It has swallowed the lives of countless explorers since ancient times, and in the 70s of the last century, some local residents suffered from poisoning symptoms due to eating a certain plant by mistake.
Later, China's scientific research explorer Professor Peng Jiamu led the scientific research team here, crossed Lop Nur three times, and finally disappeared in 1980, and searched and rescued many times to no avail.
The mystery and legendary treasures of Loulan here have also attracted countless adventure enthusiasts, but danger is always there, and many people's lives have been left here in the process of exploration, and some even have corpses that cannot be recovered.
In 1949, a plane flying from Chongqing to Urumqi mysteriously disappeared in the sky over Shanshan County, and the wreckage of the plane was found in Lop Nur nine years later.
All kinds of events have made this area more mysterious, and later in order to be able to search and rescue the missing tourists in time, our country also established a police station under this extreme area, and the police here are responsible for the task of searching and rescuing the missing tourists.
The environment here is exceptionally bad, with sandstorms and dust storms, and in the summer the temperature can reach more than 40 and even 70 on the ground.
There are no obvious landmarks or references in the depths of Lop Nur, and if you get lost here, you will not be able to survive if you do not get timely rescue.
Although it is now accessible to tourists, in the northwest of Lop Nur, the area around the nuclear explosion zone is off-limits, including Longcheng Yadan, Xiaohe Cemetery, Sun Tomb, and Tuyuan Ruins.
Another well-known area with a strong mysterious color is Shennongjia, where there are all kinds of unsolved mysteries that some people may have heard of.
For example, according to legend, there are traces of wild men in Shennongjia, and in the relevant records, the earliest example of sighting a wild man was in 1974, when the deputy leader of a local production team witnessed a wild man.
After reporting the incident many times, China's scientific expedition team began to investigate the wild man in 1976, but did not find anything.
Until now, we don't know if there are wild people here, and another mysterious phenomenon is the presence of many albino animals.
There are not only white snakes, white turtles, but also white golden snub-nosed monkeys and other creatures, but in the ** of later experts, it was confirmed that the appearance of albino animals is due to genetic mutations caused by the environment.
The tourist area developed by Shennongjia only accounts for a small part of the whole of Shennongjia, and it is not allowed to enter the depths of Shennongjia by car or on foot.
Although there are many mysterious legends, many of them have not been confirmed, and the main reason why it is a forbidden area is that many of them are undeveloped areas.
Shennongjia is steep in mountains, the terrain is steep, there are many unknown dangers, and there are a variety of wild protected animals, which is almost the largest primeval forest in the central region of China.
Therefore, the ban on tourists is to protect the safety of tourists, and the other is to protect the different kinds of creatures that live here.
In the territory of Meishan, Sichuan Province, there is an area called "Huangquan Road in the World", which is a famous local life forbidden area, and this place is Wawu Mountain.
It is smoky almost all year round, the terrain is complex, the mountain trails are criss-crossed, and it is easy to get lost when you enter, and it is said that there will be phenomena such as clocks and compasses malfunctioning here, and every step needs to be carried out with a spirit of 12 points.
There are also many mysterious events happening here, and in 1970, a hunter brought his hounds inside.
In the end, it was the hunter who disappeared inside, and his hound was nowhere to be seen, and a hound with such a keen sense of smell did not come out of it, so you can imagine the danger in it.
In 1972, two local women accidentally entered the ecstasy while digging herbs around, and their whereabouts were unknown.
In 1979, the provincial forest survey team walked in this place for three days and three nights, and finally found that it was still the same.
In 1999, a young scientist was unfortunately lost in the process of descending the mountain, accompanied by a local villager.
Later, the two separated, and the villager traveled for a long time to get out, and then led the rescue team to search for the ball, and finally found the frozen body of the worker.
Therefore, when the local ** developed the resources of this area, this place was classified as a tourist forbidden area, where neither the compass nor GPS positioning could be used.
And there are many theories about this phenomenon, more that the magnetic field here is abnormal, and some people say that it is because it was hit by a meteorite thousands of years ago, so any advanced equipment is ineffective here.
Some people say that it is because of the tidal action of the moon on the earth that the compass is out of order, and in addition to the abnormal magnetic field, there is also a fatal place that is the miasma in this forest.
Poisonous gases are everywhere around the place, and if you accidentally inhale them, some of them will fall unconscious or hallucinate, and in severe cases, they may even die on the spot.
And these gases are not only poisonous, but they can also "change" day into night, and fall into this fog, which, combined with the labyrinth-like terrain, makes it difficult to get out.
To this day, no one is allowed to enter this place, and the mystery that exists in it has not been revealed, perhaps because of the power of nature.
Ailao Mountain is located in the Yunnan region of China, and the reason why it has this name is because there used to be a small country called "Ailao Country" here.
In the history of Yunnan, this country is one of the most mysterious ancient countries, which contains very rich resources, and the reason why it has become a forbidden area and a mysterious place in the eyes of people is because there are two unsolved mysteries here.
The first was the mysterious death of 36 villagers in a village around the area more than 20 years ago, first four and then others.
For this reason, the relevant departments specially investigated this phenomenon, but in the end no cause or other abnormalities were found, and I thought it was a coincidence, so no one paid attention to it.
In 10 years, 36 villagers died mysteriously, so in 2003, all the residents of this village moved out.
To this day, there are still people who have explored the cause of the incident, but nothing has been found, and one more thing is the death of four geological surveyors.
In the wild, the accident did not attract too many people's attention, but in the later investigation, it was found that there was still very sufficient food in the place where they died, and the possibility of starvation death was ruled out in the first place.
Moreover, the positioning equipment on their bodies was not turned on, and if it was because they were lost, the positioning device should have been turned on, so the cause of their death is still a mystery.
Now Ailao Mountain has become a forbidden area, mainly because of the complex natural environment here, there have been many mountaineering accidents and some violations of tourists here in the past.
Therefore, due to various safety concerns, this place is gradually listed as a forbidden mountainous area, and it is hoped that this place can be restored to its previous natural state.
What other "forbidden areas" do you know of in our country?
