A 19-year-old man from Jiangsu province got trapped in the Taklamakan Desert during an expedition after losing his way and running out of water, but was saved by a rescue team in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, CCTV.com reported on Aug. 3.

A rescue team composed of over 10 members from the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and local medical staff headed to the scene to save the man as soon as the corps received the phone call for help.

When the rescue team reached the man they found he was suffering from dehydration, myasthenia, increased heart rate, and unconsciousness.

Fortunately, the man’s life is out of danger after treatment. He said that he embarked on the adventure alone out of curiosity after watching the British survival television series "Man vs. Wild".

Experts say one must be well-prepared and master certain medical knowledge, professional skills, and relevant experience ahead of a wild adventure.
