Mountain Patrol
''Kekexili: Mountain Patrol'' (; bo, ཨ་ཆེན་གངས་རྒྱལ།) is a 2004 Chinese film directed by Lu Chuan that depicts the struggle between vigilante rangers and bands of poachers in the remote Tibetan region of Kekexili (Hoh Xil). It was inspired by the documentary ''Balance'' by Peng Hui. Despite its realistic, detached style, the film evokes the dramatic Western genre in several ways.
