Thinking they were sleeping at home and taking off their clothes, two men were abandoned by their companions while climbing the mountain and trapped in the Happy Mountain: they had hallucinations when rescued. Man | Wolong Police Station | Companion

We agreed to climb the mountain together, but were abandoned by our companions on the way down. On the early morning of July 2nd, two men were trapped in Xingfu Mountain in Wolong Nature Reserve, Sichuan. In the darkness, one of the men called the police for help

After receiving the alarm, police officers from the Wolong Police Station of Aba Prefecture Public Security Bureau, along with firefighters and local guides, formed a 7-person rescue team and went up the mountain in the rain late at night to carry out rescue operations. After more than two hours of searching, the rescue team found two trapped individuals and safely rescued them down the mountain.

Two men rescued

"Two people were trapped in a high mountain at an altitude of over 3000 meters. When we found them, they were already in a coma and had hallucinations." On July 3, Yu Tao, deputy director of the Wolong Police Station, told Red Star News in an interview. The two men and others made plans to climb the mountain together through the internet, but were abandoned and trapped by their companions on the way down. Fortunately, timely rescue was provided, and the two people were not in danger of their lives.

Two hikers are trapped while climbing the mountain

When the rescue team found them, they were all unconscious and had hallucinations

In summer, many citizens like to invite three to five friends to climb mountains and enjoy the cool. On July 2nd, two hikers were stranded on the Happy Mountain while walking on a wild road.

At 1:30 am on July 2nd, the Wolong Police Station received a report from a man named Wang stating that he was trapped in Xingfu Mountain in Wolong Town and needed rescue. Due to the dense fog surrounding him, he did not know the specific location. After receiving the alarm, the Wolong Branch immediately carried out rescue work in accordance with the emergency plan. At 1:45 am, the first rescue team consisting of 7 people from the Wolong Police Station, 119 emergency rescue departments, and local guides, braved the rain and went up the mountain to carry out rescue operations.

"It rained and fogged heavily that night." According to Yu Tao, the deputy director of the Wolong Police Station who led the rescue team, at around 4am, the rescue team found a sleeping person lying on the ground at an altitude of about 3000 meters on their way up the mountain. Rescue workers woke him up, and the man said he thought he had gone down the mountain and was sleeping at home, so he took off some of his clothes.

After a brief rest, the man regained his composure and looked at the rescuers in front of him, thanking them in a weak voice. The police learned that the man, Jiang, is in his twenties and comes from Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, but he is not the informant.

"We invited us online to climb the mountain, but everyone else left," Jiang said. They set off from Chengdu at 10:00 am on June 30th to Wolong Nature Reserve, and started climbing Xingfu Mountain in Wolong Town at 1:00 pm that day. They plan to go downhill on July 1st. Due to his own physical strength and other reasons, he was unable to keep up with the team. After nightfall, it rained and fogged, and he got lost and fell asleep on the mountain until he was rescued.

Rescue personnel enter the mountains late at night to search and rescue

After rescuing Jiang, rescue personnel continued to search and rescue the reporter Wang on foot. Half an hour later, a man lying on the roadside was found at an altitude of about 3300 meters. Rescue workers woke up the man and learned that he was Wang, 26 years old, from Luzhou City, Sichuan Province.

Wang introduced that he departed from Chengdu with his companions at 9:00 pm on June 30th and arrived in Wolong Town at around 1 pm that day to start hiking. He plans to go downhill on July 1st. Due to the loss of the backpack he carried with him during the mountaineering journey, as well as the fog that formed after heavy rain on the mountain, he lost his direction and later sought help from the police.

Wang claimed that after being trapped, he was both hungry and thirsty. He found a leaf by a stream and said, "After using the leaf to fill the water, he drank it and even ate the leaf. Later, he fell asleep in a daze and even had hallucinations. He felt that there were many people and 'monsters' around him, feeling cold, hungry, and tired."

According to the police, when they discovered the two individuals, there were still mountain grasshoppers on their legs.

Inviting strangers online to climb mountains together

The two were abandoned and trapped by their companions on their way down the mountain

At around 7am on July 2nd, two trapped individuals were safely escorted down the mountain by rescue personnel. In the morning of that day, the police brought steamed buns to the two people. After they wolfed them down, they repeatedly expressed gratitude to the rescue workers.

After verification by the police, it was found that both Jiang and Wang contacted others through "Xiaohongshu" and invited strangers to each other through WeChat on their mobile phones. They set off from Chengdu to Xingfu Mountain in Wolong Town together. As most of the colleagues did not know each other and did not reserve contact information, they were abandoned by other colleagues after most of them left the mountain on July 1st. Other colleagues did not contact the two trapped individuals or call the police for help after descending the mountain, but returned to Chengdu on their own. "The two men are not in the same team, but they are both strangers invited online to climb the mountain together," Yu Tao explained.

The police provided breakfast for the two people

Among the outdoor activity routes announced in the Wolong Nature Reserve, the approved routes for outdoor activities are: the Lama Temple in Zumushan Village, Wolong Town area; Niuping in Gengda Town and Laoyashan in Gengda Village.

According to local police reports, Xingfu Mountain in Wolong Town is the core area of Wolong National Nature Reserve. Climbing Xingfu Mountain requires actively reporting to the Wolong National Nature Reserve Management Bureau and obtaining permission before climbing. The two trapped individuals violated the regulations by climbing Xingfu Mountain without reporting to the Wolong National Nature Reserve Management Bureau. Their behavior has already violated the regulations of the National Nature Reserve Management Bureau, and their information has been transferred to the Wolong National Nature Reserve Management Bureau for processing.

Police reminder: Climbing peaks within the core area of national nature reserves requires prior reporting to the forestry authorities and obtaining permission before outdoor activities can be carried out.
