Dotted with vast grassland and crystal lakes, a valley in Kunlun Mountain in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a paradise for wild animals covering 3,500 square kilometers. However, this is a dangerous place with a horrible name: the "Gate of Hell."

The shepherds living on Kunlun Mountain would rather see their cattle and sheep starving to death in the Gobi desert than pasturing them in the old and silent Death Valley which is covered with wolves' fur, bears' bones, hunting rifles, and graves.

Scientists have found that the outlier of magnetism in the valley is extremely high. Consequently, this place is often struck by lightning.
