Where is the fairy bend hill in Xinjiang? Why is it called fairy bend?

Shenxian Bay in Karakorum Mountain is more than 5000 meters above sea level. Speaking of its name, the name is Lin Gengpo. He was the first captain of the Xinjiang Military Region Surveying and Mapping Brigade. In the 1950s, he was ordered to lead a team to carry out surveying and mapping tasks. In the process of walking to the present Shenxianwan post, I encountered great difficulties. There is no oxygen in the plateau, and stones as big as eggs are easily blown away by the wind, so it is very difficult for the players to take every step. I saw many bones along the way. It often thunders on sunny days, and I feel how many people have been killed by this clear sky thunderbolt. The team members struggled forward with the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and walked towards a relatively sheltered terrain bay. Everyone is very happy. Lin Geng said with deep feeling: "This is really the place where immortals live", "Only immortals can walk here, it's too difficult to walk". Later, Lin Geng marked this topographic point as "Fairy Bay" on the map. After the map was reported to the General Staff, place names began to be used. In the past, there were neither place names nor people there.

The reason why it is called "Fairy Bay" means that it is not a place that ordinary people can go! Especially in the 1950s.

By the way, when Lin Gengpo's team was surveying Aksai Chin, it was unexpectedly discovered that the Indian army's surveying and mapping team had arrived in Aksai Chin first to carry out surveying and mapping activities. The team immediately realized the Indian army's attempt to Aksai Chin, and immediately reported it to the Central Military Commission to race against time to speed up the progress of surveying and mapping, so as to race against time with the Indian army. Finally, the surveying and mapping work was completed before the Indian army, and the outpost deployment in Aksai Chin area was completed in coordination (the border guards followed the survey team in the later surveying and mapping), which defeated the Indian army's plot to Aksai Chin area at that time. Therefore, Lin Gengpo and his team were awarded by the Central Military Commission at that time.
