The descendants of Loulan grew up in Lop Nur Lake

  The earliest records date back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the high-ranking monk Fa Xian traveled west to retrieve Buddhist scriptures and passed through Lop Nur. He said that while walking in Lop Nur, there were many evil spirits and hot winds in the sandy rivers, and those who encountered them would die, with no one surviving... Only the dry bones of the dead served as a sign...

  Nowadays, people have recorded: In 1949, an airplane flying from Chongqing to Urumqi (Dihua) disappeared over Yanquan County. In 1958, it was found on the eastern salt crust of Lop Nur, with all crew members dead. Originally, they were flying east-west, but why did they change course and fly due south, resulting in a tragic accident?

  In 1950, a guard from the People's Liberation Army's bandit-suppression troops rode his horse out of an encirclement and got lost. In 1982, a geological team found his body over 100 kilometers away from where he went missing, on the southern shore of Lop Nur in Hongliu Gou, with unknown cause of death.

  On July 3, 1976, a vehicle from the Xinjiang Geological Bureau's First District Team was transporting supplies to the wilderness north of Lop Nur when it disappeared. Later, it was found in Yanquan County's Nan Sha Mountain, with the driver, assistant driver, and geological technician all dead from thirst.

  On June 17, 1980, famous scientist Peng Jiamu went missing while surveying Lop Nur. The party and state dispatched planes, troops, and police dogs, expending large amounts of manpower and resources in a massive search effort, but to no avail.

  In 1990, seven people from Hami set out in a small passenger truck to find crystal mines in Lop Nur and the Gobi Desert, but never returned. Two years later, geological team members found three desiccated corpses at the foot of a steep slope, with the vehicle 30 kilometers away. The other four people's fates remain unknown.

  In the summer of 1995, a worker from Milan Farm led his two relatives in a Beijing Jeep to explore Lop Nur and search for treasure, but they disappeared. Later, their bodies were found by Xinjiang Great Nature Travel Agency explorer Zhang Bohua 17 kilometers away from Loulan, with the vehicle intact, water and gasoline not lacking, and one person's fate remaining unknown.

  In June 1996, Chinese explorer Yu Chunshun went missing while solo-hiking in Lop Nur. When a helicopter discovered his body, forensic examination determined that he had been dead for five days, neither suicide nor homicide, but the cause of death for this strong and healthy man remains a mystery...

  Lop Nur, adjacent to the Siberian high-pressure center, has strong winds all year round, frequent black storms, and fast-moving sand dunes that can bury villages, farmland, and roads at any time... Lop Nur, located in the lower reaches of the Tarim River, has unpredictable water levels, sometimes rising and falling, sometimes appearing and disappearing... The mirage is ever-changing, making people's thoughts wander and unable to figure out... And those who try to explore the mystery of human disappearance and death have added more mysterious colors to Lop Nur...

  In 1950, a guard from the People's Liberation Army went missing. Thirty years later, his body was found over 100 kilometers away in Hongliu Gou, on the south shore of Lop Nur.

  In October 1964, China successfully detonated its first atomic bomb, and since then, Lop Nur has been known as the place where the "mushroom cloud rose". The mystery surrounding nuclear technology and the nuclear tests conducted at Lop Nur have increased its fame and mystique.

  On June 17, 1980, famous scientist Peng Jiamu disappeared while on an expedition to Lop Nur. A massive search effort was launched, involving planes, troops, and police dogs, but nothing was found.

  In 1990, seven people from Hami went missing while searching for crystal mines in Lop Nur. Two years later, three of their bodies were found at the bottom of a slope, with no signs of struggle or injury. The car they had been driving was found 30 kilometers away, but the other four people were never seen again.

  In the summer of 1995, three workers from Milan Farm went missing while searching for treasure in Lop Nur. Later, two of their bodies were found 17 kilometers away, with no signs of injury or struggle. The car they had been driving was still in good condition, with plenty of water and gasoline.

  On June 6, 1996, Chinese explorer Yu Chunshun went missing while on a solo expedition to Lop Nur. His body was later found by a helicopter, but the cause of his death remains unknown.

  Lop Nur is a mysterious place that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. Many people have lost their lives trying to uncover its secrets, and it continues to be a source of fascination and speculation.

  The drying up of Lop Nur is another unsolved mystery. In ancient times, Lop Nur was China's second-largest inland lake, with vast reed marshes stretching as far as the eye could see. The "Hanshu Xiyu Zhuan" records that the lake was 300 miles wide and its water level remained constant throughout the year.

  In the 1950s, scientists confirmed the existence of Lop Nur, but by the 1960s, it had completely disappeared. Some people believe that the drying up of the lake was caused by changes in the climate, while others think it may have been due to human activities such as overgrazing and deforestation.

  The "big ear" of Lop Nur is another strange phenomenon that has been observed. In 1972, a satellite image of Lop Nur showed that it resembled a human ear, complete with an earlobe and earring. Some people believe that this was caused by the erosion of the lake bed, which created a unique landscape feature.

  The mysterious and often tragic events that have occurred at Lop Nur have led some people to call it "Asia's Bermuda Triangle". Many explorers and adventurers have lost their lives trying to uncover its secrets, and it continues to be a source of fascination and speculation.
