There should be few people who don't know that China's geographical north-south boundary mountain is the famous Qinling Mountains! In ancient China, the Qinling Mountains were regarded as the "Long Mai" of Chinese civilization. On the Qinling Mountains, there is a special route, which is called "Aotai Line" by donkey friends! 20 12 Up to now, more than 50 hikers have died unexpectedly while crossing the "Olympic-Pacific Line", but this is still incomplete statistics.
In other words, although it is not as difficult to climb as the route to the summit of Mount Everest, it is not an easy task to cross the "Aotai Line" on the Qinling Mountains! It is precisely because of the frequent accidents on the "Aotai Line" that as early as 20 18, the relevant departments in Shaanxi publicly issued a notice prohibiting "Aotai Crossing". To put it simply, anyone who breaks into the "Olympic-Pacific Line" without approval is not only indifferent to personal life, but also illegal!
Which section of the Qinling Mountains is the Aotai Line?
The length of the Qinling Mountains is over 65,438+0,600 kilometers. Like other mountains, the Qinling Mountains also have a main peak with the highest altitude, that is, Taibai Mountain, the highest place on Taibai Mountain, which is the place where Jiang Ziya is deified in folklore!
There is also a commanding height west of Taibai Mountain, called "West Taibai". The highest altitude of the former is 377 1.2 meters, and the highest altitude of the latter is 3520 meters, with a difference of more than 200 meters.
The "Aotai Line" mentioned earlier is actually the route between Aoshan and Taibai Mountain. Therefore, in the eyes of donkey friends, crossing the "Olympic-Pacific Line" is like walking on the "China Dragon Ridge". Although the straight-line distance from Aoshan to Taibai Mountain is only over 40 kilometers, it takes 170 kilometers to cross the Aotai Line. Therefore, even though there are many famous mountains and rivers in China, the Aotai Line can rank in the top ten in terms of the difficulty of hiking routes!
Is the "Aotai Line" a holy place or a graveyard for donkey friends?
Maybe you don't know, in less than five years (summer from 20 12 to 20 17), 46 people died on the "Olympic-Pacific Line". From the trend, the number of victims is increasing year by year.
Moreover, after Shaanxi issued the "Olympic Crossing" ban on 20 18, there were still people who broke into the restricted area privately. These people don't seem to take the "3,000 yuan administrative penalty" seriously at all, and they have repeatedly banned it!
In the eyes of passers-by, the top route that Qinling Mountain crosses is the "Aotai Line", most of which are no man's land, with an average altitude of over 3,500 meters, and there are 17 mountains over 3,000 meters. These "risk factors" in the eyes of ordinary people are fatal to passers-by, because crossing this route is not only fierce, but also difficult, and not everyone can get away with it. In the minds of some travelers,
Just like Pandora's box is opened, you can see the sights of heaven and hell in one day, which deeply attracts countless people. Coupled with the "survivor bias", you can see many strategies for successfully crossing the "Olympic-Pacific Line" on the Internet, including how to prevent staff from breaking into the restricted area privately. As a result, the "Aotai Line" has become a sacred place for survivors and a graveyard for victims!
Three major incentives lead to frequent accidents on the Austrian-Pacific line!
In fact, there is a special person to investigate the causes of frequent accidents on the Austrian-Pacific line. The results show that there are three main motivation factors. Apart from the changeable climate and the high intensity of the route, many travelers themselves are not fully prepared. Although the highest peak on this route is only over 3000 meters, the terrain is still very complicated at a distance of 100 kilometers, which is still too strong for ordinary mountain climbers.
The scenery of Taibai Mountain is good, but the route is scattered, and there are no supply points along Aoshan Mountain. Moreover, the slope of Aoshan Mountain is steeper and it is more difficult to climb, not to mention the alternate Quaternary glaciers. There is an accident center on the "Aotai Line". If passers-by don't get enough supplements in this respect, once they encounter bad weather, they are likely to have an accident because their bodies reach the overdraft limit distance.
In addition, there are travelers who lack awe of nature, unable to accurately assess their physical condition, and even unable to carry complete equipment and materials. It is true that some people crossed the "Olympic-Pacific Line" by themselves, and did not even bring warm equipment such as winter clothes, let alone other professional hiking equipment. Of course, trying to cross the "Olympic-Pacific Line" in this state is likely to endanger their lives.
Apart from frequent accidents, why did the Austrian-Pacific Line on the "China Dragon Ridge" become a restricted area in Qinling Mountains?
This is about environmental problems! As we all know, under the background and trend of global warming, extreme weather events encountered around the world have become more frequent in recent years. Although there are natural factors, there are also human activities. Therefore, slowing down the deterioration of the earth's climate can be said to be the common goal of all people in the world.
In recent years, more and more people climb Mount Everest, which also adds a lot of rubbish, such as oxygen bottles and snack bags, and of course, the bodies that died while climbing. The "Aotai Line" that the donkey friends are keen on has also encountered the reality that the environment has been destroyed. You can see instant noodle buckets and garbage bags lying around, and even the water in the camp has been thrown into insoles and the like.
In 20 17, when the expert mountaineering team did research in the local area, it was found that there were hikers crossing the "Aotai Line" all year round, but there might be more people on holidays. Therefore, there are many cigarette butts and beverage bottles on this crossing route, and some oxygen bottles are discarded at will, which makes the garbage pressure in the camp even greater.
Therefore, the reason why the Austrian-Pacific Line on the "China Dragon Ridge" will become the forbidden area of Qinling Mountain is not only to consider everyone's life safety, but also to protect the ecological environment of Qinling Mountain from further damage!
