Qiangtang No-Man’s Land is located north of the Nagqu and Ngari regions in Tibet, considered the “Third Pole of the Earth” – the “Roof of the World’s roof.” Few can enter this “forbidden zone of human life,” and even fewer can explore this “kingdom of wildlife.” If you wish to explore here, all our explorers can say is: take care.

    Beijing’s “Haunted” Ghost Sites

    Fans of “The House That Never Dies” will recognize one of Beijing’s haunted locations – old mansions. Hearing the sound of silk and bamboo instruments mixed with the mournful chanting of young women at night? Vengeful spirits wandering the hutongs? It sounds incredibly eerie, but such strange occurrences are often reported in many of Beijing’s ancient homes and even imperial palaces like the Forbidden City. Though we all claim to be materialists, these terrifying legends still send chills down our spines.

    Ghost Lake – Lake Rakshastal

    Lake Rakshastal, dubbed the “Ghost Lake,” means “Poisonous Black Lake” in Tibetan. Located in Purang County, Ngari Prefecture, it sits right next to the freshwater Holy Lake Manasarovar. As a slightly saline lake, its waters are undrinkable for both humans and animals – perhaps the origin of its ghostly name. But that’s not the most frightening part: the aerial view of Lake Rakshastal resembles a flayed human skin, desolate and devoid of life.

    Fengmen Haunted Ghost Village in Henan

    In an unnamed mountain outside Qinyang City, surrounded by verdant and ancient riverbanks, there are several villages – yet almost all are empty. YunTai Village still has three households, but Fengmen Village stands eerily in isolation, with over a hundred buildings in the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties nestled deep in the mountains. The village has a grand residence with a Qing Dynasty-era armchair in the living room, and more mysteriously, everyone who has ever sat in that chair has since passed away.

Lop Nur in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

  In 1980, the renowned Chinese scientist Peng Jiamu went missing during a scientific expedition in Lop Nur, and 16 years later, explorer Yu Chunshun also perished there, adding to the mysterious and terrifying aura of the area. Endless Gobi Desert, barren of a single blade of grass or stream, with summer temperatures reaching up to 70°C. Lop Nur – where not a single bird can be seen in the sky, and no bird dares to cross, is truly devoid of any signs of life.

Poyang Lake’s “Devil’s Triangle”

    From the early 1960s to the late 1980s, over nearly 30 years, more than 200 ships sank and over 1,600 people went missing, with no fewer than 30 survivors driven insane by fear. These staggering figures come from the mysterious waters near Old Man Temple in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi Province. For centuries, this area has remained an enigma, with countless ships mysteriously vanishing – including vessels weighing over 2,000 tons. Records from the Jiujiang Maritime Department and the Duchang County Annals show that on August 3, 1985 alone, 13 ships were lost in succession here, a rare occurrence even in global maritime history. Hence, this stretch of water has earned the nickname “China’s Bermuda Triangle.”

Kunlun Mountains’ “Gate to Hell”

 The herders living around the Kunlun Mountains would rather let their cattle and sheep starve to death in the Gobi due to lack of fodder than venture into the ancient, silent valley rich in lush grassland within the Kunlun range. This valley is known as Death Valley or the “Gate to Hell” of the Kunlun Mountains. The valley is littered with wolf pelts, bear bones, hunters’ rifles, and lonely graves, creating an ominous and terrifying atmosphere of death.

Serenely Majestic Liupan Mountains

    The Liupan Mountain National Forest Park lies at the triangular center formed by Xi’an, Yinchuan, and Lanzhou. The Erlong River is the core area of the Liupan Mountain Nature Reserve and the most abundant in wildlife and plant species. With drifting mist, cool valley winds, and spine-chilling moments – encounters with roe deer, forest musk deer, pheasants, and rabbits often leave visitors startled. After 5 PM, golden leopards are frequently spotted. The Erlong River Ghost Gate scenic area is designated for scientific expeditions, and entry without a professional guide is strictly prohibited.

Wawu Mountain Maze Valley – A Travel No-Go Zone on the Latitude of Death

“Maze Valley, the strangest of the strange – once inside, survival is no easy feat.” Due to the mysterious and terrifying nature of Maze Valley, local authorities had to designate it as a travel no-go zone during the development of Wawu Mountain resources to prevent tourists from accidentally entering. Also, because it lies on the same latitude as the Bermuda Triangle, domestic geologists and explorers have dubbed it the “Bermuda Triangle of the land.” Over the years, the “Wawu Mountain Maze Valley Phenomenon” has left behind a series of unsolved mysteries.

Wenzhou Shangri-La Turns into a “Ghost” Village

    Wenzhou’s Luojiashan, once a picturesque village, is now associated with eerie tales. However, over the past few decades, 76 people have died in this remote mountain village, nearly half of them dying suddenly. In the summer of 2008, two major fires broke out in succession, destroying 91 old houses, sparking panic among villagers. The nickname “ghost village” quickly spread, and the sudden deaths in Luojiashan seem even more mysterious.
