When it comes to China's mysterious place, the vast majority of the natural environment is concentrated in some very poor natural environment is not suitable for human survival of the place, the scarcity of people will appear mysterious, because very few people go to understand not much, so it will produce a sense of mystery, coupled with the harsh environmental conditions, the challenge to the human being is very big, so that a lot of people go in to meet the dangers and difficulties, so that the place will become more and more The more this kind of place will have some mysterious legends exist.
Why there will be legends, in fact, is that some people do not understand this place, and yearning, but due to a variety of reasons caused by a number of things, so that people have fantasies about this place, and finally this kind of thing after processing into some attractive news, and in our China to the mysterious place had to say that the sea of death of Lop Nur this forbidden zone of life.
In fact, the mystery of Lop Nor is not from the beginning of the Pangamu incident, before this incident, Lop Nor's mystery actually comes from the past existence of ancient things, such as the Loulan ancient country Xiaoxie burial complexes these, and in modern times, Lop Nor appeared in more and more mysterious events, a variety of people aircraft disappearance, 1949 a flight from Chongqing to Urumqi aircraft in the Shanshan County Missing in the air, 1958 in the eastern part of Lop Nor was found, all the people on the plane died, the strange thing is that the plane would have been to the northwest direction to fly why it will deviate from the route appeared in the southeast direction.
In 1950, a trooper disappeared in the process of fighting bandits, after 30 years in the distance from the accident site 100 pairs of kilometers away from the discovery of his remains, in 1980, Peng Jiamu led a team of investigators to enter Lop Nor, and finally Peng Jiamu disappeared, this thing then stirred up the whole country, became one of the most mysterious events, in 1995, Milan Farms, three workers drove to Lop Nor to find treasures and finally disappeared! Later, in the distance of 17 kilometers away from the Loulan found the remains of two people, there is a person's whereabouts is unknown, and the two deceased cause of death is unknown, the strange thing is that their car is intact very normal can be used, the car also has a lot of gasoline as well as a lot of life of fresh water and food, in 1996, Yu Chunshun, an explorer in the hiking across the Lop Nor disappeared, when the searchers found that he has been dead for five days, the place of death He was 15 kilometers off course, and his head happened to be pointed in the direction of his hometown of Shanghai when he died.
Of course, the most mysterious or belong to the disappearance of Pengjamu and the legendary Pisces Jade Pendant event, this thing was rumored to be God, involving plant viruses, replicants and prehistoric civilization remains and advanced instruments, and even nuclear weapons experiments with these linked together, resulting in the infinite mystery of Lop Nor, Lop Nor is really that mysterious? In fact, Lobo is indeed mysterious but it is not the legend so divine.
1972 U.S. satellite photographed the overall appearance of our country Lop Nor, as to why the U.S. satellite will deliberately shoot Lop Nor, in fact, of course, is because of the relationship between the nuclear test site, and the U.S. satellite pictures taken by the U.S. satellite, Lop Nor's overall appearance looks very much like a human ear, which is also later on a lot of people called Lop Nor the ear of the earth, the formation of the shape of this cause of the later research found to be the formation of the river scouring, in the early liberation, Lop Nor is not now such a poor environment, but cattle and horses, green water around the oasis of life with beautiful grass.
And due to changes in the natural environment and the diversion of upstream rivers and man-made farming diverted a large number of upstream rivers of water, so that the water supply to Lop Nor is less and less, due to the region's climatic anomalies and the Lop Nor lake is wide but not deep, a lot of evaporation of water, and the original Lop Nor supplement the amount of water of the two major rivers of the Tarim River and the Peacock River diversion and cut off the water supply to make Lop Nor. Lop Nor has no water supply, a large amount of water evaporation to the 1970's after the complete dry formation of the current Lop Nor.
And in the scientific community there are many different speculations on Lop Nor, some scientists speculate that in the liberation period there is water in the existence of this lake is not much of the real Lop Nor, because of the geographic location of the Lop Nor and the ancient records of the geographic location of the difference, so some people have put forward a hypothesis, modern see Lop Nor is not the real meaning of the Lop Nor, but the late river sediment deposition formation of a Amber, the real Lop Nor dried up many years ago, and there are scientists have put forward a new argument is Lop Nor drift said, is that Lop Nor is moving in the lower part, because Lop Nor has a large number of underground rivers under the ground, once the amount of water is sufficient, it will surge to the surface from the new formation of lakes, and the current Lop Nor is in fact a huge range of the general term, in the past, the real Lop Nor is in the range of the general name, and the real Lop Nor. These are some scientists' conjectures, but there is no direct evidence to prove.
Lop Nor has been rumored to be as bizarre as the Jade Pendant, and there have been some incidents of missing scientists, but for the well-prepared, Lop Nor may not be considered a "sea of death".
Lop Nur was the second largest inland lake in China, due to the Tarim Basin, some of the river diversion and other factors, so that the Lop Nur evaporation is much larger than the sink flow, and finally the water evaporated after the formation of a desert. It is really difficult for people to bear in the desert, dryness, lack of water, lack of food, lack of markers on the surface of the ground difficult to recognize the direction, and if you enter it by mistake or enter the adventure with insufficient preparation, it will naturally be dangerous. For today's mankind, Lop Nor is very dangerous, but not so much that there is no return, in modern navigation, automobile and other tools to assist, crossing the Lop Nor is not a very difficult thing, but still have to take into account some of the unexpected factors, to prepare for the adequate response measures.
Into the Lop Nor is a sudden encounter with extreme meteorological events like Pengjamu or the preparation itself is insufficient to enter the people who are more "for" capricious, because the desert is hot during the day and cold at night, there will be some similar water pools "mirage". ", in the case of cold or extreme thirst, people will make some bizarre behavior, such as freezing to the extreme instead of taking off their clothes, in the past some of the unfortunate people killed in Lop Nor, some of the bodies were found to maintain a strange posture. There are resources such as oil and natural gas underneath Lop Nor, as well as some huge underground water systems, and also due to the fact that it was once located underwater, there are rich mineral resources, and now there are corresponding industrial activities, and there are also tree-planting activities in the surrounding area, to prevent the desert from expanding further.
Nowadays, Lop Nor is still a very remote place, but there is still a lot of activity in industry, tourism, research, and environmental protection, and there are very few incidents of people going missing because of the well-prepared activities.
Because it is a piece of the Jedi, is the forbidden zone of all life!
Lop Nor is very charming and seductive. Although there are Pengjamu, Yu Chunshun's previous warning, but by what can not be pressed people who have been excited to go to conquer its impulse of the nerves.
The first to go to Lop Nor is the Italian Marco? Polo. He wrote in his travelogue: "This desert is very long, it will take a month to get through, along the way all the sandy mountains and sandy valleys, there is no food to find".
The Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang described Lop Nor "wind-assisted quicksand, no water and grass, more hot and poisonous ghosts and demons, no scripture road, pedestrians traveling to and from, looking at the remains of animals and people for the identification of the ear." The ancients crossed the Lop Nor very hard, no food along the way, no road, no walking tools, with two legs, suffering and enduring. We are naturally much more fortunate than the ancients, much easier.
In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and other ancient writings, the Lop Nor is known as the salt marsh, Puda sea, salt sea, etc.. After the Han Dynasty, most of them called it "Lop Nor", Uyghur language means "the place where all the waters converge".
It is said that the broader Lop Nor, an area of 10,000 square kilometers. The last dry new lake also has an area of 5000 square kilometers. Due to the diversion of the Tarim River and the breaking of the flow of the Peacock River, by 1972, from the satellite photos brought to the Chinese leadership by Nixon during his visit to China, Lop Nor had completely dried up. It is said that in the thirties, the deepest part of the new lake was still 30 meters.
Lop Nor is known as another fire state in Xinjiang, where the hottest time of the year is during June and July, when the ground temperature can reach over 70 degrees Celsius.
June Lop Nor is a man-eating season. June 17, 1981, the famous scientist Peng Jiamu in Lop Nor on a scientific expedition mysteriously disappeared, the world was in an uproar, all kinds of speculation will Peng Jiamu disappearance rendered the light strange, fearful people. Until now, Penggamu's body is still unaccounted for. His family is said to be offering a reward for his remains. 15 years later, in June 1996, the famous traveler, known as the contemporary Xu Xiake Yu Chunshun in Lop Nur trekking adventure was killed.
There were no coordinates to locate, and even the oldest travelers had a poor sense of direction. Yu Chunshun was killed because he went in the wrong direction, missed the pre-set supply station, and lost contact with the receiving team. A week later, a helicopter searching for him found his blue tent at the bottom of the cracked Lop Nor Lake. What was later seen in his tent was his swollen body.
Not just on the road, but all the land in Lop Nor has been hardened by the brine. It looks like a warm and fluffy land with bubbles, and people stand on it like bees on an egg. Due to the evaporation of water above, the following is constantly transported up, above the land is getting harder and harder, the following is constantly expanding, slowly, the plate of land is out of balance. The result of their interaction formed the unique landform here - turtle fish back, also known as salt warping landform.
After entering Lop Nor, we traveled more than 100 kilometers to the Luozhong Depression, where the Lop Nor Potash Fertilizer Base was built. Lop Nur's potash reserves are said to be the second largest in the world. There is no fresh water, all the living water, construction water, are from more than 400 kilometers away from the Hami a car to pull over, the degree of preciousness can be imagined.
A bright sparkling eye. People can not believe that in this barren land, there will be such a magnificent scenery! Almost all people can not help but exclaim. The side of the pool is knotted with white and beautiful salt flowers, tumbling, crystal like coral. This is the precipitation pool. One after another, the biggest one was fifteen square kilometers. Each pool has a different function.
I had three times across the Lop Nor, the first time is along the Peacock River, the old road, from west to east across the heart of the Lop Nor Lake to reach the Shule River in Gansu, the former site of the Yangguan; the second is from Ruoqiang north across the heart of the Lop Nor Lake, the Kuruktag mountains to reach the atomic bomb test base Malan; the third time is from the end of the Tarim River Couple's Tieganlik to the northeast diagonally across the heart of the Lop Nor Lake to reach Dunhuang, Gansu. It's not as horrible as you make it out to be! Penggamu's death is he violated the basic rules of geological research, made inexcusable low-level mistakes (for reasons known only to himself), fieldwork regulations, if lost, wait for rescue on the spot, not allowed to leave the camp. So, at that time, all the people were rescued except Peng Jiamu. Yu Chunshun's death, he is to blame, violating the seasonal regulations into the Lop Nor, Lop Nor climate is harsh, only October and May each year to enter, other time is not suitable for entry. Especially June-July is never to enter. Yu Chunshun rigidly do not listen to the Bazhou Tourism Bureau's advice, forced to enter, the scientific law as a child's play.
In Lop Nor has not been developed, this place is really "dangerous" coefficient is very high. China's scientists Peng Jiamu, is in the process of an expedition to return to Lop Nor, mysterious disappearance, so far not quite sure whether to find is his remains. And Peng Jiamu's disappearance, but also to Lop Nor added a mystery.
Lop Nor used to be a huge lake, otherwise the name would not have taken a berth inside. When Lop Nor had sufficient water resources, it used to harbor the Loulan culture. However, with the change of history, the water resources of Lop Nur gradually degraded, and the ancient state of Loulan gradually disappeared in the vast history. Especially in recent times, Lop Nor dried up completely, leaving a piece of yellow sand. Peng Jiamu and other people are in order to investigate the resources of the Lop Nor riverbed, so despite the danger of several times into the Lop Nor exploration and investigation. Because at that time, Lop Nor was in no man's land, once encountered abnormal weather or lack of supplies, it is easy to secret room direction. And it is also very difficult to ask for help, only to be able to use the satellite phone to the army to ask for help. Therefore, the average person to go in, once the abnormal situation occurs, nine times out of ten is not come out. So it's not wrong to call it the "Sea of Death".
However, Lop Nor, after looking at the stalls, found a shortage of resources, potassium salt. So into the 21st century, the state of Lop Nor carried out key development, the construction of potash production base, and supporting the construction of railroads. To this end, the town of Lop Nor was also established. In addition, in view of the unique address environment of Lop Nor, it has also become a famous tourist exploration mecca, so every year driving to here are very many people. It can be said that Lop Nor is no longer a desolate place with few people, but a popular place. Accordingly, for the sake of safety, a series of emergency plans have been established here to prevent the emergence of dangerous situations in Lop Nor. Basically, as long as you pay attention to all kinds of travel safety rules, there will be no such thing as the last century, there is no return. Unless the individual looking for death, specifically to go to some dangerous, no human traces and easy to get lost in the place, so who can not save you.
So, now the Lop Nor, has long been that "sea of death".

Lop Nor
Lop Nor, the Fading Immortal Lake, is the Fading Immortal Lake. Lop Nor -
The Sea of Death
1980. In 1980, Peng Jiamu, a famous Chinese scientist, disappeared there on a scientific expedition;
16 years later, the explorer Yu Chunshun was killed there again, adding to the mystery of Lop Nor.
Lop Nor, a vast expanse of Gobi Beach, not a blade of grass, a stream, summer temperatures up to 70 .
Lop Nor, not a single bird in the sky, no bird of prey dares to cross.
But once upon a time, Lop Nor was not a desert.
In the distant past, it was an oasis of life with cattle and horses, green forests, and clear rivers.
Lop Nor is a lake in the southeastern part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.
Because of its shape like a human ear, Lop Nor is known as the "Ear of the Earth"; it is also known as the "Sea of Death", also known as Lop Nao (nào) er Later, after the transformation of geo-engineers, this place has become the "City of Hope".
The pre-Qin geographical masterpiece "Classic of Mountains and Seas" called "young Ze", also known as the vitreous glaze, salt, Puchang Sea.
Lop Nur is the Mongolian translation of the name, meaning that many water collection of the lake.
In the eastern part of the Tarim Basin, at an altitude of 780 meters or so, is located in the lowest part of the Tarim Basin, the Tarim River, the Peacock River, the Chelchen River, the Shule River and so on converge here, for China's second largest saltwater lake.
Before 330 A.D., the lake had more water, and the city of Loulan in the northwest was the throat of the famous "Silk Road", and then, due to climatic changes and the impact of human water conservancy projects, the upstream water supply was reduced until it dried up, and is now only a large area of salt shells.
Rivers in the basin, such as the Tarim River, the Peacock River, the Chelchen River, and the Shule River, converge here, and once formed huge lakes.
Since then the lakes have been reduced and the city of Loulan has become a ruin.
Dunhuang, Hami, Shanshan, Turpan, Korla, Ruoqiang, Qimo, Hotan, Akse, Subei, Guazhou, Yuli, Minfeng, Yutian, Moyu, Yumen, and Tiemenguan are in the area around Lop Nor.
Lop Nor, in the northeast of Ruoqiang County, was once China's second largest inland lake, at 780 meters above sea level.
In the mid-to-late 20th century due to the reduction in the flow of the Tarim River, the surrounding desertification was severe and rapidly degraded until it completely dried up in the late 1970s.
Lop Nor is located on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, once China's famous "Silk Road", and later became a piece of dry and barren land, so it is known as the "Sea of Death", because of the shape of the human ear, also known as the "Sea of Death", because of the shape of the human ear, also known as the "Sea of Death", because of the shape of the human ear, also known as the "Sea of Death". human ear, also known as the "ear of the earth".
In 1980, the famous scientist Peng Jiamu mysteriously disappeared in Lop Nor, and in 1996, the famous explorer Yu Chunshun was killed crossing Lop Nor, which added a bit of mystery to this barren land.
We have heard the most about the disappearance of Peng Jiamu "Pisces Jade Pendant event". 1980 May, Peng Jiamu as the Lop Nor scientific expedition team leader, June 17 morning, the team carried water and gasoline almost exhausted, Peng Jiamu left a "I went east to find a well" note will go out alone, this go, and never come back.
After the news of Penggamu's disappearance spread, a variety of rumors have, some people speculate that the incident of the two fish jade pendant is not literally a jade pendant, but an action code, it is said that this kind of machine can produce a mirror copy function, and even connect to a higher dimensional space, Penggamu is accidentally touched the switch of the two fish jade pendant, was mirrored copy of the two, and so on. There is also said that the scientific research team mixed into the enemy, Peng Jiamu found the enemy conspiracy, he could not trust anyone in the team, in order to avoid the precious specimens fell into the hands of the enemy, they find an excuse to say that to find water, in fact, is to bring the specimens to the outside world to seek help.
The incident of the Pisces Jade Pendant was rumored to be very evil, and there are various versions of it, so we don't have to believe in it, just listen to it as a story. Said to be internal infiltration of enemy agents to protect the specimen, is also nonsense. What's more interesting is that there are a few questions raised by the netizens can think about.
The first point is that there is little left in the way of supplies, and the team contacted their superiors and got a reply that they would send rescue material, so why did Pengamu not wait for help to arrive, and risk his life alone to find water?
The second point is that Peng Jiamu majored in plant viruses and biochemistry, and the official story is that Peng Jiamu went to look for heavy water before the scientific expedition, and that heavy water is an important raw material for nuclear weapons. Let Pengjamu to find heavy water, professional on the wrong ah.
The third point, Peng Jiamu's colleague Xia Xuncheng, geographer, he and Peng Jiamu was the first to propose a detailed examination of Lop Nor, coincidentally, as an important member of the scientific research team, as the deputy head of the team, Xia Xuncheng suddenly flew to the United States to participate in a meeting before the departure of the Peng Jiamu disappeared, Xia Xuncheng from the United States back to the United States, has been involved in the search for Peng Jiamu, 28 times, Xia Xuncheng is not involved in the scientific research of the real What is the real reason why Xia Xuncheng did not participate in this scientific expedition? Regarding the search for PENGGAMU, the two are not relatives, why did they work so hard in the 28 searches? Why did they search so hard for 28 times? Were they searching for Pangamu or the things he took with him? This we do not know. From the later interviews can be seen, Xia Xuncheng painfully lost Pengjamu this excellent colleague, but for the specific content of the scientific research has not been mentioned.
Humans in front of nature, seems so small. It is generations of great courageous people defy the difficulties of exploration, the mysteries of nature is known to the world, the road ahead is long, the human footsteps have never stopped.
Lop Nor is located in southeastern Xinjiang, and is known as the "Ear of the Earth" because of its overall shape, which resembles a human ear, but Lop Nor is more widely known as the nickname of the famous "Sea of Death"
In the early years, Lop Nor was a water-rich "outer space".
In the early years, Lop Nor was a water-rich "south of the river", the mysterious and brilliant Loulan ancient state was born in it, but later Lop Nor because of environmental changes and river diversion and water resources drastically reduced, and ultimately turned from a south of the river into a deserted sea of death.
The legend about Lop Nor "no return" is not unreasonable, because in the past science and technology is not yet developed, water scarcity and very vast Lop Nor is easy to be trapped inside the explorer can not find the direction, and ultimately can only be Lop Nor "swallowed! and civil society has used a huge manpower and material resources to search for Penggamu's remains, but all to no avail, which also gave rise to a variety of rumors about Lop Nor and Penggamu.
Although Lop Nor has devoured many people's lives, but nowadays Lop Nor is not a "sea of death", the 21st century since the country built a small town in Lop Nor and also opened the train, now Lop Nor has become a famous tourist exploration destination, unless someone special to go to some dangerous places, otherwise Lop Nor will be the first time. Unless someone specializes in going to some dangerous places, or else Lop Nor is still very safe.
With the development of science and technology and mankind's continuous development of the earth, some of the past very mysterious and dangerous places will slowly fade away the veil of mysteryIn the periphery of Lop Nor, there are local women were pulled by the car to pick up the stone, is jade. Because picking up stones to spread out, the car stopped, the car as the center point, not too far away.
But picking up the pick up four women at the same time to the direction of the car ran back, like what happened, back to the car gasping, said a man just touched her shoulder, another said to see in front of a tall thin man standing, the two women are the same situation, and four people in four directions, the distance is separated, a split second, how can we all see a person.
Then drive and run back, not picking up the jade, the story is a true story, but it also shows that Lobo has a mysterious event, the Sea of Death you have to not walk into how to die. To die, jumping subway is also the sea of death.
Figure: from the satellite shot Lop Nor like a big ear slightly mysterious, also known as the ear of the Earth
Lop Nor the source of the name is Mongolian, its true meaning is to refer to the "place where the water comes together", Lop Nor in the ancient times, such as the Seychelles Jiangnan general, the largest when compared to the Qinghai Lake. But eventually, due to the Tianshan Mountain, the Kunlun Mountains and other mountain ranges blocking the role of water vapor is difficult to enter, the river diversion, and other reasons, and ultimately, Lop Nor turned into a desert wilderness, "the sea of death".
Lop Nor is widely known mainly because it was once an important node on the Silk Road, which gave birth to the Loulan civilization. The harsh environment here has also led to the disappearance and death of many explorers, such as the famous scientist Peng Jiamu, who disappeared during an expedition to Lop Nor.
There is also the much-talked-about Pisces Jade Pendant incident, which is closely related to Lop Nor.
For Lop Nor, if you are well-prepared, it is completely safe to cross, and most of those who lost their lives in Lop Nor are deviating from the planned route and running out of gas and water, which ultimately led to their deaths. Now there are also travel activities across the Lop Nor tourists hiking or fleet crossing, the premise is to be well prepared. Especially water resources in Lop Nor is the most scarce.
The famous scientist Peng Jiamu is because the team faced drinking water depletion, and went out alone to find water eventually disappeared.
Crossing Lop Nor to find the Silk Road in the Western Region and visit the ancient Roland which is a great attraction to some people.
