China has ancient culture, exactly the same, ancient traditions, and even secrets and mysteries hidden by the veil of centuries, there is generally an immeasurable amount. Leaving big cities, like Beijing, moving away, away from civilization, from the rumble of ubiquitous cars, you begin to understand what the ancients lived and breathed. Only on these green plains and hills is all the wisdom of the Chinese philosophers of antiquity understood.
However, not only philosophy and wisdom fill these forests and groves, some kind of invisible presence of ancient magic and magic is felt here, and it is not at all necessarily kind and useful. Enough here and frightening, inspiring animal horror places, for no apparent reason.
One of these mystical places is Heiju, in the translation “Black Bamboo Hollow”, which has found its place, straight from the Chinese province with the colorful name Sichuan. The reputation of this place is still the same, although there is no scientific evidence of the devilry happening here.
It is said to be one of the strongest anomalous places our planet. People are said to be disappearing in this valley in a strange way. It seems to be nothing unusual, an ordinary hollow, densely overgrown with thickets of bamboo, an unremarkable landscape. However, over the course of fifty years, more than five hundred people have strangely disappeared here without a trace! Where the people went, whether they survived, remains a mystery.
Local residents from the surrounding villages are unwilling to answer questions about the place, which they themselves call the Valley of Sleeping Death. It will be extremely difficult for you to find a guide here. But even if the issue is resolved and you are taken to the place, be prepared for the fact that with the approach of darkness, you will be left alone with the bamboo thickets and their invisible inhabitants, the guide will leave you and quickly go home.
It is said that once a person enters this mysterious place, then a silvery fog envelops him, instantly cutting off visibility on the way back. This fog frightens with sounds coming from it, and beckons with flowing music, and leads you closer and closer to the dwelling of the dark god, who settled here in ancient times.
But scientists do not believe in fairy tales about evil deities devouring people who wandered by chance for lunch. They believe that the reason for the disappearance of people could be the toxic fumes emitted by the valley, or imperceptible faults, into which travelers fell.
Be that as it may, but the fact remains, the Black Bamboo Hollow scares the people even now, and anyone who wants to test his willpower and endurance can well go there and pitch his tent in the middle of bamboo thickets, hills and ragged fog. They will not charge you for this, and, perhaps, they will also persuade you for a long time not to take such a rash step. But tourists still come here. True, for some reason they don’t stay at night, they move closer to a human dwelling. Maybe you take the risk?
Located in the Chinese province of Sichuan (Sichuan), the Heizhu Valley (Chinese: 黑竹沟, “Black Bamboo Valley”) is considered one of the strongest anomalous zones peace.
The beauty of the nature of these places can surprise anyone, but you should not lose your head from what you see, because along with this you can also lose your life. something, but mysterious cases there are plenty of disappearances and deaths of people here, as evidenced by the peasants living in the surrounding villages, who claim that it is not easy to enter this hollow, and it is almost impossible to get out. The locals are superstitiously terrified of the gloomy forest abyss of Heizhu, and it is very difficult to recruit one of them as a guide. And those who agree, cautiously freeze in front of the pass with the majestic name "Stone Gates", behind which the path to the anomalous zone begins.
Known cases of missing people in Heizhu:
In the summer of 1950, a completely serviceable plane crashed in the Black Bamboo Hollow for reasons that have not yet been established. Also, many people went missing this year.
In 1962, the hollow reminded of itself with the disappearance a large number of people. Of all the missing people, only the guide of the group of geologists was found, who did not give a clear explanation of what happened.
March 1966 - A detachment of 6 people, led by a military cartographer, who was adjusting the terrain map, disappeared in Heizhu. A local hunter miraculously came across the only survivor, who was barely able to be brought to his senses. However, he could not give an intelligible answer about what exactly happened to the group.
In 1976, most of the group of forest inspectors went missing. The survivors were very frightened and talked about some kind of strange fog that quickly enveloped the group. According to them, unusual and frightening sounds were heard in the fog, and the sense of time completely disappeared.
Residents of the surrounding villages are sure that the road to the hollow is a one-way road. All the above cases, coupled with various superstitions and the inaccessibility of the hollow, made Heizhu a "tough nut" for Chinese cartographers. For a long time, part of the gloomy Black Bamboo Hollow remained a blank spot on the map.
A tangible contribution to the study of this anomalous zone was made by an Argentine geophysicist and ufologist who wrote the essay “The Taste of Black Bamboo”. In it, he said: "The anti-divine essence of the phenomenon manifests itself in relation to all bearers of all religious denominations, since representatives of many religions have visited Heizhu over the past three hundred years."
While science demonstrated impotence in front of the frightening secrets of the hollow, all kinds of rumors and speculation about what was really happening in it spread among the people. According to one version, the cannibal panda of terrifying size, capable of devouring its victim entirely, was to blame for everything. This version was partly due to the fact that the province of Sichuan is indeed home to the most numerous populations of pandas on the planet.
They also talked about a mysterious white fog that shrouded the victims, and strange sounds coming from it. In local beliefs, there is a legend about a certain mountain deity. According to it, if a traveler passing through the hollow spoke too loudly, then the angry deity let in a thick fog that killed all living things. Some peasants were even convinced that this fog hid a UFO, the aliens on board of which abducted people.
Some, in turn, blamed Bigfoot for everything, allegedly living in these parts.
Increasing obscurantism, fear among the people and the lack of scientific theories explaining what is happening, eventually forced the Chinese authorities to form a group consisting of scientists from the Academy of Sciences and armed guards, and send them on a kind of "crusade" to establish the truth and unravel the sore "Sichuan Rebus". According to the report of the head of the expedition, the researchers walked around the mystical hollow, searching literally every meter of it, but did not find any real evidence the presence of supernatural forces in Heizhu. However, they revealed a structure of geological rocks that is completely unique in its characteristics, and also recorded permanent releases of deadly poisonous fumes, which turned out to be the product of decay of some tree species that grow in abundance here. Scientists also noted the difficult local climate with unexpectedly and dramatically changing weather. The head of the expedition suggested that the victims could really disappear under the earth's surface, falling into deep pits.
According to scientists, the combination of all the above-mentioned natural factors could, as a result, cause all the tragedies in the Death Valley. The mystical halo of events in Heizhu, on the other hand, was determined by the inherent ordinary people the tendency to explain all incomprehensible things by the machinations of supernatural forces.
The Heizhu Valley is located in southern China. The literal translation of the name of the valley sounds like this: “The Hollow of Black Bamboo”. This valley is one of the extremely powerful anomalous zones in the world. In this valley are the Stone Gates - if you go through them, you will find yourself in a bamboo wilds. The stone gate is located on the eastern slope of Mean Mountain.
For many years, the hollow takes people away, while leaving no traces or bodies. Under mysterious circumstances, many people die in the hollow, monstrous accidents occur.
In 1950, a plane crashed in the valley. It happened for an unknown reason. No technical information was found 
x problems. No distress message was received from the crew. The next observation is also strange. In 1950, in the Black Bamboo Hollow, according to statistics, about a hundred people simply went missing!
In 1962, an exploration group disappeared without a trace! Only one conductor could escape, and he told about what had happened. When the expedition approached the valley, the guide hesitated a bit and fell behind the group. Suddenly there was a dense fog - it limited visibility to one meter. The conductor was gripped by a terrible fear and he froze in place. The fog disappeared after a few moments, but the group was no longer nearby ... Neither the geologists themselves, nor their equipment or their belongings were found. The astonished guide talked for a long time about the fog, which makes rather strange sounds and which disturbs the sense of time ... 
In 1966, a detachment of military cartographers disappeared without a trace in the same hollow. Military cartographers made adjustments to the relief maps of the area.
In 1976, a whole group of forest rangers disappeared. It is difficult to understand how people who had spent half their lives in the forest and who had the experience of harsh explorers could disappear without a trace.
Heated disputes around the world have been caused by the unexplained disappearances of people in the Black Bamboo Hollow. Some people talked about strong geomagnetic radiation, others talked about the anomalous properties of rotting plants that emit psychotropic vapors, others believed in the portals of parallel worlds.
Our planet is full of mysterious places in which what is happening defies logical explanation. This is why they attract many inquisitive tourists who seek to unravel their mysteries and mysteries, sometimes at the cost of their own lives.
Particularly interesting are those areas in which people and animals disappear without a trace for unknown reasons. One of these places is the Chinese Hollow of Heizhu (Chinese Death Valley) or as it is called the Black Bamboo Hollow. The valley is densely covered with bamboo thickets, hence its official name. And its second name is Death Valley, it received due to the disappearance of people and pets that wandered into it.
Black Bamboo Hollow - This anomalous area has an extremely dark reputation and is located near the Sichuan province in China, on the eastern slope of Mount Mean, two hundred kilometers from the city of Chengdu.
In the surrounding villages, people of the small Yin people live. All of them experience superstitious horror before the forest abyss. It is not easy to enter the Black Bamboo Hollow, but sometimes it is impossible to exit at all. Take someone as a guide local residents You can either at gunpoint, or for a lot of money. The guides stop dead in front of the Shi-men (Stone Gate) pass, which opens the way to a mysterious place. Researchers often compare it to the Bermuda Triangle.
Numerous bodies of those who died during the survey of the valley were not found.
According to statistics, in 1950 more than a hundred people disappeared in the valley, one plane crashed. The cause of the accident has not yet been established.
In 1962, a geological expedition (about a hundred people) disappeared in the Black Bamboo Hollow, only the guide survived from the whole group. According to the guide, the expedition had just entered the valley when fog suddenly covered it, when the fog cleared, there were no more people. They were never found.
1966 was marked by the disappearance of a group of military cartographers led by Du Xuan, who visited the valley on a mission to compile the terrain. Some time later, a local hunter found one of the missing, barely alive, he was hardly brought to his senses. Upon regaining consciousness, the soldier could not explain what had happened to him and his comrades.
Ten years later, in 1976, a group of forest inspectors got lost here.
Scientists put forward many versions of the disappearance of people in the Black Bamboo Hollow, from the impact on the state of health of the vapors of rotting plants to the anomalous zone, which is a transition to another world.
Fans of everything otherworldly believe that it is in this zone that there are transitions to Parallel Worlds where the poor victims end up. More realistic individuals believe that strong geomagnetic radiation is to blame, or a pair of rotting plants that can affect human consciousness. Despite the fact that the legend of this place is very creepy, tourists are drawn here like a magnet. Even a kind of tourist zone has been created, where people come to tickle their nerves.
Miraculously, the surviving people talked about the sudden appearance of fog. The thick veil that covered them was accompanied by sounds unusual for human hearing. Judging by the hands on the clock, the fog lasted about 20 minutes. According to the feeling of every one of the people, it dissipated after a few seconds.
Since the remains of lost people and animals were not found, and science was powerless in explaining what was happening, therefore, all kinds of assumptions were born among the people about what happened to the disappeared in the Valley of Death.
It should be noted that the largest population of the white bamboo bear, the panda, lives in Sichuan province. Some have come to the conclusion that the cause of these incidents is a man-eating panda. giant size. Others believe that the mysterious fog hides extraterrestrial aliens whose goal is to kidnap people (for some reason, the Chinese).
Many mystical theories about the secrets of the Black Bamboo Hollow forced a group of serious scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to organize a trip to the Valley of Death in order to find out the truth. Well-trained and equipped expeditions consisting of various specialists were sent one after another to the mysterious place.
In 1997, an expedition of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences headed by Yang Yun went there. They found in the "Valley of Death" a strong magnetic field, geological formations unique in structure and diversity, dramatically changing climatic processes and sporadic release of toxic fumes due to the decomposition of rare tree species. A particularly difficult climate was also noted with unexpectedly and sharply changing weather conditions, and the victims of the deadly tricks of nature, according to the scientist, can be hidden under the earth's surface, from time to time unexpectedly opening gaps. The scientist believes that the combination of many such unfavorable natural factors determined the mysterious nature of the Death Valley. But to establish why people disappear, the researchers failed.
There is one very mysterious place in China, which is referred to as an anomalous zone, but, personally, I call such places a place of power. I like to look at photographs of such places, I would like to go there, but if you compare Black Bamboo Hollow or Heizhu or, as it is also called, Death Valley, then our ravines are just a strange place with different manifestations. Here, everything is serious, it is difficult to get here, and even more difficult to get out.
Southwest China, Sichuan province, the eastern slope of Mount Mean, near the city of Chengdu, neighboring settlements are occupied by a small Yin people. There are legends about this place and chilling stories, people prefer to bypass the Black Bamboo Hollow. Immediately behind the Stone Gate, bamboo thickets begin.
You can take one of the local residents as guides either at gunpoint or for a lot of money. The guides stop dead in front of the Shi-men (Stone Gate) pass, which opens the way to a mysterious place.
Of the legends and legends, to my great regret, I managed to find only one and that, there is only a mention of a forbidden place and miraculous rescue Hero Niupi:
The story goes that he once went hunting in the Heizhu Hollow with a group of people. Pretty quickly, their water supplies were depleted, and after three days some of the hunters began to fall into unconsciousness. Niupi, who was at the same disadvantage as his comrades, was visited in a dream by a fairy. She told him, “Don't worry. Your courage will help you find water." When he woke up, he followed the path indicated to him by the fairy. However, he found only a huge stone. Embarrassed, he drew his longbow and shot three arrows at the stone. Suddenly, three streams of pure spring water miraculously gushed out of the stone.
Meanwhile, the place is really remarkable, it is one of those few places that are dangerous and are compared with the Bermuda Triangle: people disappear without a trace, animals wandering by chance, inexplicable accidents occur ... Chronology, from what we managed to dig up on this issue , is this:
- In 1949, when the Communists were pushing the Kuomintang army with might and main, a small Kuomintang detachment of about 30 people, who had strayed from the main forces, entered the hollow. Since then, no one has heard from them.
- Not much later, three scouts of the Chinese People's Army headed from the city of Ganluo towards Heizhu. Only one came out of the hollow. He said that he fell behind his comrades and tried to catch up with them all the way, but they were already gone. And so he reached his destination.
- 1950 For some unknown reason, the plane crashed in the valley: no technical problems were identified and the crew did not report a disaster. Another oddity is the following observation. In the same year, according to statistics, about a hundred people went missing in the Black Bamboo Hollow!
- In June 1955, a platoon of PLA military topographers working on a hill near Heizhu sent two soldiers into the city to collect provisions. Their path passed through a valley. It's easy to guess what happened to them. After an extensive search, only two rifles were found. At the same time, there are no traces of either soldiers or their uniforms.
- 1962 The disappearance of an entire exploration group without a trace. Managed to escape only the conductor, who told what happened. When the expedition approached the valley, he was a little delayed and fell behind. At some point, a thick fog suddenly appeared, which limited visibility to 1 meter. The conductor felt an inexplicable fear and froze in place. A few minutes later, the fog cleared, but the group was no longer there ... The geologists, their belongings and equipment, were never found. The shocked conductor talked for a long time about the fog violating the sense of time and making very strange sounds...
- In March 1966, six military cartographers were lost at the entrance to the forest. Some time later, a local hunter found one of the missing, barely alive, he was hardly brought to his senses. Upon regaining consciousness, the soldier could not explain what had happened to him and his comrades.
- And in 1976, a whole group of foresters disappeared in it. It is difficult to explain how people with the experience of harsh explorers and who have spent half their lives in the forest could go missing.
- In 1976, a group of foresters went to the Valley of Death, as it turned out later, to their death. Two of them disappeared without a trace. Those who managed to get out of the forest spoke about the sudden fog that descended. The thick veil that covered them was accompanied by sounds unusual for human hearing. Judging by the hands on the clock, the fog lasted about 20 minutes. According to the feeling of every one of the people, it dissipated after a few seconds. When the account of the disappeared exceeded a hundred, any expedition to the Valley of Death began to be equated with a trip to another world. The road is one way. The most amazing thing is that the remains of lost people and animals were not found. The valley of death swallowed them irrevocably. It was this circumstance that most of all confused scientists who sought to find clues to the Black Bamboo Hollow. Science steadily demonstrated its impotence, and all sorts of assumptions were born among the people about what happened to the disappeared in the Valley of Death. Here are some of the common versions. The Sichuan province is home to the world's largest population of the white bamboo bear, the panda. Some have come to the conclusion that the cause of these incidents is a gigantic man-eating panda. Others believe that the mysterious fog hides extraterrestrial aliens whose purpose is to kidnap people (for some reason, the Chinese). Many mystical theories about the secrets of the Black Bamboo Hollow forced a group of serious scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to organize a trip to the Valley of Death in order to find out the truth. Well-trained and equipped expeditions consisting of various specialists were sent one after another to the mysterious place.
- In 1995, two soldiers who went to the hollow disappeared. Some time later, only their weapons were found.
The last expedition to the Valley was made by scientists from the Beijing Academy of Sciences. Yang Wyun, the leader of the team, said that the area was subjected to a thorough survey for a month. The presence of the supernatural was not detected. However, it was possible to establish that the structure of the geological rocks of the territory is extremely diverse and complex. In addition, periodic releases of toxic gases were recorded. Scientists also noted the difficult climate of the area. Wun believes that all the victims of deadly natural tricks are under the earth's surface, which sometimes opens up. He believes that the totality of the identified factors explains the mystery of the Black Bamboo Valley.
However, the poisonous gas or fog that prevents unimpeded travel from point A to point B can in no way explain the disappearance of the bodies of people who fell victim. With poisonous gas, Death Valley should turn out to be a really dead valley, without birds, without living creatures ... like saber-toothed tigers, which, say, would devour their victims and this would explain, well, at least partially, the absence of the remains ... However, a version similar to the saber-toothed tiger really exists:
In 1974, a farmer Ran Qianbu, who lives near the ravine, allegedly spotted a six-foot ape-like creature with yellowish body hair. It is possible that just one of the Bigfoot species lives there.
BUT whether you believe in bigfoots, whether they exist or not, they are unlikely to be able to survive the lethal gas, and the fog is also unlikely to be able to dissolve the countless victims of Black Bamboo Hollow. It seems that, so far, I have not found any mention of the fact that there are new victims of Heizhu, but who knows ... either the valley has come to terms with human intrusions into its territory, or it has simply fallen into a slumber, which means that it may well wake up ... more precisely, slumber always ends with awakening.
