该贴记录本人在美国游记的点点滴滴,分享给大家,供大家欣赏,希望广大驴友强烈支持下实拍国立美国历史博物馆 这是我自己感觉最难写的一个博物馆,我最怕的是这个帖子最终变成了一堆片子,而我希望的是朋友们能和我一样,在穿越这二百多年历史的浮光掠影之后,能带着一点思考。 国立美国历史博物馆,英文全名是“The National Museum of American History”,与以前介绍的航天航空博物馆、和国立自然历史博物馆一样,是世界上最大的博物馆体系 — 史密森尼博物馆(Smithsonian Institution)下属的十六所博物馆之一,亦是美国最大的历史博物馆。国立历史博物馆位于华盛顿国家广场中段的北边,东邻以前介绍过的自然历史博物馆,南门遥对美国农业部。馆舍长175米,纵深91.5米、高36.7米,是一个白色大理石的五层建筑,总面积75万平方英尺,包括地下室、三层展厅、两层办公室和储藏室,顶层是机械动力室。我去的时候圣诞节刚过,大厅里还伫立着有两层楼高的圣诞树。 美国历史博物馆的展区有三层,一层设农业技术、交通运输、电话电信、纺织、医药等;第二层设第一夫人服饰、移民、昔日日常生活、移民发展等部门,三层设军队史、兵器、报纸、邮政、乐器、货币与纪念章、陶瓷器等部门。博物馆的宗旨是“收藏、保管和研究影响美国人民经历的物品”,展览的主是表现美国人的生活,时间从美国独立战争结束至当代,整个陈列反映了欧洲各国移民到达美洲大陆后艰苦创业,开发技术,共同努力创造一个统一的不断发展的美利坚合众国的历史。与一般的历史博物馆不同,美国历史博物馆的展品不是按年代和地区陈列的,而是按专,这与美国历史的短暂及藏品博杂很有关系。 新近开放了为911专辟的展区:911-历史的见证。在那里,人们可以看到前纽约市长朱利安尼在纪念活动中带过的帽子、来自各地的义务工作者在救援活动中使用过的工具、纽约警车残骸以及无数的图片与故事等,这些物品,忠实记录着那一震惊世界的事件,更提醒人们对生命的尊重与生存的意义。这是被攻击的美国五角大楼 9月11日那天飘扬的旗帜。 星条旗馆区是必须看的,那里有1812年第二次对英战争中飘扬在麦克亨利堡上空的长14米,宽10米的大星条旗。 美国总统展区有很多实物,包括:美国第一任总统华盛顿的制服、戴过的假发和使用过的佩剑、杰佛逊起草《独立宣言》时用过的办公桌、杰佛逊使用过的圣经、林肯的帽子、卢瑟福总统的广播话筒等。· · 反映美国服饰的展厅里以白宫室内布置为背景,塑有自玛莎·华盛顿以来历届美国第一夫人穿着礼服的蜡像,成为200年美国贵妇人服饰演变的史料展示。· 我最喜欢的是肯尼迪夫人的礼服,简约却唯美,透着十足的品位,某种程度上解释了为什么她曾经会是最受上流社会男人追捧的女人。 奥巴马夫人的礼服在我看来只是一件普通的晚礼服,从礼服上可以判断,第一夫人的个子真的是好高哟。· 顺时针:林肯夫人、卢瑟福夫人、卡特夫人、和艾森豪威尔夫人的礼服。 对战争史有兴趣的游客可以在第三层参观关于越战、炮舰、西点军校、以及冷战时期的陈列。这里还有货币、纪念章、防止品、印制品的展览。这是南北战争时候火炮实物。 左:1838年Spencer发明的显微镜。右上:1844年摩尔电码电报机键。右下:1888年柯达制作的第一台照相机。 左上:1926年的1401蒸汽机模型。左下:1897年史蒂芬·巴隆制造的四轮轻型汽车。右:1846年Elias Howe发明的缝纫机。 左:1965年贝尔直升机为美国军方制作的Huey65-10091,1966年参与了对越作战。右:星球大战制片人George Lucas制作的机器人角色R2-D2.在实际的电影中,这两个机器人是穿着服装的演员扮演的。 左:拳王阿里的拳击手套和毛巾外披。右上:著名现代爵士乐圆号师 Dizzy Gillespie 在1972年-1985年间演奏使用的号,这圆号的扭曲处原本是偶然事故造成的,但他发现这样的演奏效果更好。右下:迈克尔·杰克逊的帽子。 左上/右上:电影《绿野仙踪》(The Wizard of OZ)里女主角穿的那双著名的红宝石鞋。左下:狮子王的面具。右下:著名卡通剧最早的模型。顺时针:史上最著名的棒球运动员Babe Ruth名的棒球,奥运会冠军的冰鞋和体操衫。 同时还有展区展出了18世纪邮局模型、古老邮票、和民族乐器等。最后我想花点时间专门说一下这个在一层展区的历史实物:The Woolworth’s Lunch Counter (Woolworth餐馆的午餐桌,作者译)。· 在1960年,黑人还不允许坐在北卡罗来纳州Greensboro市 F.W.Woolworth 饭店的午餐桌子上吃饭,那时,种族的不平等在美国南方还是司空见惯的事情,不论是在饭馆、卫生间、和其他公共场所,黑人都被“Jim Crow”这种族不平等的条理制约,无法获得平等的选举、租房、甚至外出就餐的权利。 1960年2月1日,四个黑人大学生来到这里、坐下、然后礼貌地点午餐,他们的要求被拒绝了,并被勒令离开,但是他们一直坚持坐在那里,这种被动和平的反抗方式点燃了美国年轻人中挑战种族不平等运动的战火,成百的学生、民权组织、教堂和社区的人员逐渐加入抗议,和Woolworth 饭店持续对峙了六个月。1960年7月25日,饭店最终不得不妥协,废除了种族隔离的规定。 国立美国历史博物馆展示了美国不同时期历史的演进过程,从南北战争、美国工业革命,到科学的进步历程,美国史上的点点滴滴都有包含。浏览其中,仿佛走入历史的画卷,在了解一代代移民艰苦创业、体验人文与科技的演变之余,你也许会更深地体会到,浩如星海的历史并非仅仅由大事组成,每一次历史变革都起源于向日葵色板官方普通百姓自己的争取和努力,每一个普通人也时时刻刻在创造着历史,也许因此,你会对生活和生命增添更多的期待和热爱吧。你看你看它们的眼钱塘湖春行白居易孤山寺北贾亭西,水面初乎云脚低。几处早莺争暖树,谁家新燕啄春泥。乱花渐欲迷人眼,浅草才能没马蹄。最爱湖东行不足,绿杨阴里白沙堤。 前两天贴了一组“乱花渐欲迷人眼”的图片,突然就想起了这组马的片子,好像只有配到一起才能对得起白翁。这组片子答应朋友很久了,要周末了,翻出来轻松一下。 曾有个朋友去新墨西哥州旅行,在沙漠地带拍到一群野马,很剽悍、很漂亮,让我很羡慕。向日葵色板官方山里也常看得到野马,貌似和鹿一样,已经基本上不怕人了。· 弗吉尼亚有很多牧场上经营着种马场,主要是配种生殖参加赛马比赛的公马,也允许人去参观,那里有很多漂亮的马,我惊异的是它们看人的眼神,那里面有着一种审视和警觉。

回来已经一个月了,似是过了很久,又似乎都在眼前。记录总是要做的,为我自己,也为了那些期待已久的人。 线路:苏州--拉萨--塔钦--霍尔--札达--札不让--狮泉河--拉孜--江孜--山南--拉萨--林芝--波密--然乌--八宿--邦达--左贡--芒康--巴塘--理塘--新都桥--小金--成都--重庆--苏州。 耗时:40天,耗资:7500元。 或许是因为走过川藏,再次的走过青藏铁路,仍没能给我惊喜。看别人一直不断的在拍,我有些疑惑,但始终没有拿出相机。 所以我的经历由拉萨开始。 拉萨的第一个早晨,有些小雨,去客厅拿了几本书,冲了咖啡,拿了小食,看着院子里的花,等着房东睡醒。 吃过饭,问了阿里办事处的方向,走过去买去阿里的车票。 比我想像中的远,一路问人,很热心的告诉我,再说按你的速度,再走半小时也到不了,还是打个车吧。那我就走快点呗。 途中,干净的街心公园。 中秋的前一天,副食品批发市场特别热闹。这才是我印象中的拉萨,站在交警边上按了一张。红灯过后,他问我,你不过去吗?笑着摇摇头。 买票很顺利,买到司机后面的座位,心里踏实不少,打个电话回家报了行程。中午照例睡觉,下午去了大召寺。 一天很快就过去了。 第二天是中秋。拿出带来的月饼,想等房东下来一起分食。 他的书指引过我许多地方,现在,他在拉萨开了这间客栈,养了二只狗,五只猫。 狗没下楼,说明他还没有起床。 等到11点多,实在饿得不行,自立更生吧。厨房里一顿忙呼。 还行,我居然把面煮熟了。 仓姑寺,和四年前相仿,依旧是那么多的人。只是,四周多了纱帐,总感觉闷了许多。 在大昭寺的许愿墙前,总会坐着这么一群人,他们的名字叫藏飘,或几天,或几月,或几年。 很容易的,就可以成为他们中的一员。 依然是那么多长磕的人。 只是,少了些纯粹,他们中的一些也会向游客兜售饰品。向朝他们拍照的人要钱。这使我愕然,心里便没有了以前的宁静。 借了垫子,我也磕拜下去,为了我的此行顺利。发现,真是行动的时候,心里并不曾想什么,空空的,只是不断重复着相同的动作。 大昭寺的金顶依然,蓝天白云依旧,这里还是我喜欢的地方。 时值藏族的沐浴节,这是在拉萨河边洗晒毛毯。 每年藏历七月六日至十二日,在西藏,在拉萨河畔,从城市到乡村,从牧区到农区,都有一个群众性的洗澡活动。这种一年一度的洗澡活动,要集中进行一个星期,所以,这是藏族独有的沐浴节,也叫沐浴周。在这七天中,从垂髫的娃娃,到白发苍苍的老人,都要下河洗澡,这已成为藏族群众传统的风俗习惯。在拉萨地区,凡是肉眼看得见南方的弃山星,便说明季节已入春或入秋。每当七月弃山星出现时,季节已进入夏末秋初。据藏文天文历书记载,初秋之水有八大优点:一甘、二凉、三软、四轻、五清、六不臭、七饮时不损喉、八喝下不伤腹。这种归纳是有一定科学道理的。西藏高原冬长夏短,春天雪水入河,冰人肌骨;夏日大雨滂沱,山洪暴发,河水浑浊;冬天皮袍裹身,谁敢入水。只有在入秋之时,水温较高,河水清净。可见秋水最佳,因此,选择这个时机洗澡再合适不过了。 因为游客太多,现在在拉萨已经很少能看到洗澡的场面了。但洗晒厚重的衣物还是随处可见。 晚上跟刚认识的新朋友去了仙足岛的酒吧,是一位藏族姑娘开的,这一边都是她各处收来的东西,另一面墙全是她在各地游玩时拍的照片。 明天就要起程阿里,想着二十几小时的车程,想着平均4500米以上的高度,心中忐忑。 一直睡眠不好,拿了二粒安眠药塞进嘴里,希望能有个好的精神,面对这一切。 9月13号的天气很好,坐在院子里吃过早饭,慢慢的收拾东西。 这些花儿开得真好。 拉萨的班车,总是不能及时开出,不是等这就是等那。待车到西郊客运站附近,总算看到了另一个背包的游客,来自长沙的小张,一个单薄的小姑娘。 见到背包客总会觉得陌名的亲切,急忙问:去阿里哪儿? 塔钦,你转山吗? 转,但是想先去札达。 哦。。。。。 拉萨到贡嘎机场的高速,已经是一片丰收景象了。 一路看着窗外,想找回很多记忆里的东西,无奈此车不走羊湖,只见二旁的树叶已开始黄了。 和附近坐位上的当地人聊着天,很快就到了吃晚饭的地方。 时针指向11点,悲剧开始上演,我晕车了。 几年不曾有过的事,一直持续到凌晨3点。 边上坐的是个小武警,一点都不解风情,且不说帮我递个纸巾,水啥,连安慰都没有一声,唉,郁闷。 一夜无眠,挨到清晨,马攸桥检查站。 登记证件,一一核查。 过了这,就是阿里了。 天空乌云密布,不让拍照,我背对着士兵,偷偷按了一张。 继续往前走,快到霍尔的时候,路边好多野马群,悠闲的吃着草,远远的看着车过,也不躲开。 一转弯,前面出现一座雪山,只听到后面有人说,那就是纳木纳尼,神山的第三位美丽的妻子,背面看和正面看完全不同,赶紧的拍下。 远远看到一片集镇,当地人告诉我,那就是塔坎,然后指着左手方向说,那里就是神山的位置。云层太厚,什么也看不见。 考虑到身体状况,在塔钦下了车,跟小张一起寻找住的地方。 找过几家之后,住进北川宾馆,因为居说那里可以洗澡。进了房间,向日葵色板官方俩都倒头就睡,不知道是过了点,还是海拨高,一直也没睡着。 爬起来,去了浴室,细细的水流,空空的房间,怎么看,洗澡的后果都是感冒,还是将就洗下头发吧。 不知怎么,头就开始痛起来。紧接着,发现另一个意外。。。。。。。 唉,休整吧。 拉了小张去找茶馆,叫了酥油茶和甜茶,喝完之后,暖了许多。想想昨晚吃的全部吐光,一整天没吃东西肯定不行,向日葵色板官方又开始寻找饭店。 在东北饺子馆等饺子的时候,认识了来自深圳的吴和东北的笨笨。吴的状况看上去很不好,笨笨很热络的跟向日葵色板官方聊天,并且和小张商量决定明天一起去转山。 吃罢,去了他们住的地方,看到他们另一个同伴,广西的LILY,脸色也很不好,不肯吃饭,只肯喝点葡萄糖水。而且说,明天也要一起转山,让我觉得很担心。 幸好,吃饱后,头痛停止,看到小张什么都没带,翻出护膝、头灯、睡袋等等,让她带着转山的时候用。 一早起床叫起小张,她去过笨笨那边,回来的消息却是:笨笨开始高反,呕吐不止,LILY身体无碍,她们俩决定结伴同行。 既然醒了,就去镇上转转吧。天阴沉沉的,神山依然不见踪影,想回房间的时候,遇上行走缓慢的笨笨和吴,拉着他们去喝甜茶。 笨笨喝了一会就忍不住跑到门外吐,然后决定当天离开塔钦,去海拨低些的札达。 喝甜茶的时候,外面一阵大雨,打LILY的手机,已经没有信号了,不知道山上情况如何,很为她们担心。 这是由苹果基金援助的塔钦苹果小学。 又是一天,云层依然很厚。笨笨已经离开,我和吴决定试着走一下内转经道,看看能不能有所收获。 这是在塔钦看到的纳尼木尼,果然是另一番模样。 因为事先决定带一壶甜茶上去,所以先到了茶馆。4600以上的高度,让向日葵色板官方走到茶馆时就放弃了角架。上到第一个坡的时候,决定明天不带单反。 这是在第一个山坡上看塔钦全景。 远处纳尼木尼脚下是鬼湖拉昂措。 远处冈仁的位置,依然乌云密布,我们期待走近的时候,他可以露出真容。 吴的步履艰难,每次问他,都说喘得很辛苦,想想明天的高度,要到5100,还是加油吧。 内转经道上真是人烟稀少,偶尔会有摩托或者卡车经过,时不时还会有些转山狗。 石头上鲜艳的苔藓 与山融为一体的江扎寺。([]
经过了2个小时的车程 (真够慢的!!!) 向日葵色板官方到达了 挪威 Narvik. 下了火车站,向日葵色板官方给EUROPE CAR公司的人打电话,让他把车开到车站,完了合同就可以开路了。 到了后我们都傻眼了,这两辆小屁车根本连行李也放不下啊! 太坑爹了。 向日葵色板官方申请换车,出乎意料的,这个朋友直接就同意了,没有一点不开心, 所以我和另外一位司机坐着他的车开到了租车公司大本营。这是一个丰田公司估计和EUROPE CAR合作的, 向日葵色板官方选了两辆中型车,型号记不得了,总之9个人加10几件行礼都可以放进去。顺便说一句,Narvik 火车站有个 visitor 's centre, 里面有个美女前台,绝对算的上是天人级的。 突然间我对挪威的好印象加深了100倍!1. 北欧极光摄影之旅- 瑞典篇 (斯德哥尔摩)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1944636-1-1.html2. 北欧极光摄影之旅-瑞典 (基律纳+ 阿比斯库)初遇极光 https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1949117-1-1.html4. 北极极光摄影之旅- 挪威 (阿尔塔 + 北角)北欧大陆的“最北端” https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1960333-1-1.html5. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 格陵兰(努克的极光) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1973832-1-1.html估计得开个3个多小时吧,当时还是下午,所以不出意外的话,傍晚前是能够从 “纳尔维克” 赶到 “特鲁姆索”的,一路上向日葵色板官方基本就是停停拍拍了。刚刚开出 纳尔维克 没5分钟就下起了太阳雨,峡湾上空的云被阳光打到以后都变红了,映出了很不寻常的景色。局部有阵雨!!! 同学:“老师我拉稀了,想请两天假。” 老师:“讲话文明点!” 同学:“老师,我“菊部阵雨”想请两天假。”因为手动档我确实不是很熟练,所以做在了副驾驶的位置,拿起相机随便咔嚓几下吧。孤零零的一个小山包,还有雪覆盖在上面,看来前几天瑞典的雪就是挪威这飘过来的。挪威就是一个峡湾国家,路都是绕着峡湾走,偶尔也会上桥。木材也是挪威的一大资源!不过最大的还是石油。半道遇到堵车,心里想着不会耽误太久吧!北欧除了大城市内,想这些城间公路都很窄,也有限速,开起来很不爽。 唯一好的就是没什么车。太阳已经西下了,慢慢的,连晚霞也没有了。到了特鲁姆索已经是晚上8点钟了,向日葵色板官方住的是一家河边上的酒店, 名叫Clarion Collection Hotel With. 最后才知道这个酒店最大的特点就是,只要入住就包餐。 前台向日葵视频色板APP官网员在我办登记的时候还特意嘱咐我" breakfast, afternoon tea and light dinner are all included." 听得我都不信。房间在6楼的阁楼,旁边就是桑拿间。 哎,我一个孤单大老爷们享受这待遇真是白瞎了。 酒店前面就是河岸了,貌似从早上到中午,前面这些小鸭子就没离开过。向日葵色板官方本来打算在 特鲁姆索 观鲸的,来到 travel info centre 才知道,目前根本就是观鲸淡季,没有船愿意出海,而且看到鲸鱼连20%的几率都没有,跟别提鲸群了,看来我功课做糙了。实在没办法我只有问问城里还有什么好玩了,给出的答案就是看建筑和博物馆。 得了,那也只有如此了。HDR拍的,别问我为什么人有鬼影,这也是没办法的事啊。我发现每到一个城市,教堂一定是比较突出的。当地的图书馆,北欧人喜爱阅读,闲的时候就会捧着本书看。这边的狗都被训练的不会叫了,别管大小种类,都很乖。([
从印度回来快两个月,直到现在我都无法用言语来准确的形容我对印度的感觉在国人眼里,印度与中国是那样的近,国土相连仅一山之隔然而,印度又是那样的遥远,由于两国之间缺少沟通和交流,向日葵色板官方对印度的认识仅仅局限在泰姬陵与恒河上印度这个古老神秘的东方大国,是个充满矛盾、一切都那么浓烈的神奇世界它历史悠久、民族混杂、文化纷呈、宗教众多,风光旖旎,人们热情内向……它人口众多、基础设施落后、卫生状况糟糕、贫富差距巨大、交通混乱不堪……你能在这里找到最好的东西,你也能在这里找到最坏的印度在每一个和它有过交集的人的生命里是不同的如果有人告诉你印度是多么多么地差劲,你要相信他;如果有人告诉你印度是多么多么地美好,你也要相信他现代与古代、奢华与贫穷、纵欲与禁欲、草率与效率、温和与粗暴、城市与村落,民主与种姓……印度的一切一切,是如此的不可思议印度的旅游宣传语是“Incredible India”在你不曾踏上过这片土地时,对这两个字显然不会有过分的认同感可当你真真地感受过印度之后,会发现,这个词,再合适不过你此时的心情北印,2个人,16天,8个城市,行程7000多公里心情,从最初的忐忑、警惕、紧张、害怕、茫然,到逐渐习惯印度的节奏,再到最后的不舍这就是超乎想象的印度这就是令人惊喜迷恋的印度这就是真实平和的印度这就是不可思议的印度 很多时候,话到嘴边,却无力组织语言,就用照片的方式展现,那是瞬间无法用语言表达清楚的故事。有的时候,突然间因为某一件事、某一个人、某一个场景而感动,很想写出很多话,拿出来和朋友们分享。所以我和Amy(8264ID:斯里兰卡小妞)用文字和照片记录着北印旅行的一些点滴,更多的是表达向日葵色板官方俩个人在印度的感受。关于印度,不能简单用好与坏来表达,可能只有你真正站到那片土地,才能得到一个自己想要的答案。正如应该作家V.S.奈保尔所说“印度是不能被评判的,印度只能以印度的方式被体验”----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------第一部分:攻略1、关于行程2、关于印度证3、关于印度交通4、关于印度吃住5、关于货币及汇率6、关于印度消费水平和购物7、关于印度人和印度旅行注意事项第二部分:游记1、加尔各答,一切都是未知2、瓦拉纳西,地狱还是天堂3、德里,来去匆匆4、阿姆利则,锡克教的共产主义5、阿格拉,没落的辉煌6、泰姬陵,闪耀着的一滴爱的眼泪7、斋普尔,粉红色的回忆8、焦特布尔,寻找属于我的那片蓝9、乌代普尔,印度独一无二的浪漫10、再回德里,再会印度阿格拉,泰姬陵阿姆利则,金庙日出斋普尔,琥珀堡https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1546176-pid-25386809.html 关于行程当决定前往印度的那一刻起,到最后购买印度火车票止,我都在纠结印度的行程和每天安排。看着近300万平方公里的印度地图,除了起始的加尔各答,一切都是未知。看了很多关于印度的游记和攻略,鉴于印度的各种不靠谱和不确定因素,保险起见,我把目定在北印,选择一条最成熟、最传统的旅行路线。加尔各答(Kolkata)、德里(Delhi),一个起点,一个终点,必须要去。瓦拉纳西(VaranASI),阿格拉(Agra),一个印度教圣城,一个泰姬陵所在地,这两个城市也不能错过。剩下的就在拉贾斯坦的四色城、锡克教圣城的阿姆利则(Amritsar)、性都克久拉霍(Khajuraho)、佛教圣地菩提迦耶(Bodh Gaya)和库什那伽(Kushinagar)、喜马拉雅脚下的大吉岭(Darjeeling)中选择。因为行程只有短短16天,印度交通又不是很便捷,最后根据城市特点、历史意义和我的个人喜好选择了四色城中的粉城斋普尔(Jaipur)、蓝城焦特布尔(Jodhpur)、白城乌代普尔(Udaipur)和印巴边界的阿姆利则。行程中间紧两头松,尽量选择夜班火车,留出更多时间感悟印度。日程安排9.30

关于印度证曾经印度证给我的感觉是要求多、拒率高、证有效期短。第一时间我想到通过淘宝代,后来对比了一下所需材料和印度证中心要求并无差别,不像通过中介代东南亚国家,可以省去存款证明、工作证明等等各种繁琐材料。既然材料都要准备,那不如自己跑一趟送,即安全又省钱。根据印度证中心规定,所有申请人必须根据领区划分到对应的印度证申请中心申请证。上海、浙江、江苏的申请人必须到上海的印度证申请中心递交证,广东、福建、广西、海南、湖南、四川和云南各省的申请人必须到广州的印度证申请中心递交证,其它不在上述各省的申请人必须到北京的印度证申请中心递交证。不过如果你户籍在广东,在天津工作,你是可以到北京印度证中心递交证申请的。我是在北京印度证中心申请的证,所以我掌握的方法适用于北京,其他地区只能参考,具体请到印度证中心网站(https//www.vfs-india.com.cn)查询。具体的流程是:1、在印度证中心网站在线填写申请表格并提交。2、提交申请表并保存打印表格,然后按照证中心所要求的材料一并带到证中心提交申请,可以委托他人递交。3、受理后五个工作日凭护照号和姓名可以查询状态。4、护照状态正常并显示返还证中心后便可以前往证中心领取,也可以在递交资料办理证时选择邮寄的方式或者委托他人领取。所需材料(个人旅游证)1、在线申请表(在线递交后打印一份,贴上照片并名)2、护照复印件(信息页和名页)3、正确的证费用(349元旅游证费用+165元证中心向日葵视频色板APP官网费用)4、1张5cmX5cm白底正面照(北京证中心只要一张)5、银行10000元三个月冻结期的存款证明原件6、往返机票订单复印件7、申请人公司或学校信函原件(英文,要求打印在包含完整邮政地址、电话和传真的抬头纸上,加盖公章及负责人亲笔名)8、身份证正反面复印件9、行程安排(需本人亲自名,多人一起办理,可以用同一份行程单,但必须都要亲笔名)这里详细说几点:1、在线填写申请,证中心网站有填表指南,按照要求一步步填写非常简单,不过在最后提交前,确认好是否有错误,提交后是无法修改,只能重新填写。2、关于存款冻结证明到银行一问便知。不用多存钱,也不用长时间冻结,只要冻结期覆盖申请的旅行时间即可。3、申请人公司信函需要包括申请人姓名、护照号码、工作年限、职位信息、年收入及准假声明,打印在含公司LOGO及完整邮政地址、电话和传真的抬头纸上,加盖公章并由负责人亲笔名。4、我只按照要求提供了简单的行程安排,并未提供酒店预订单及印度火车票订单等。个人觉得按照官方要求提交材料即可,额外材料证中心是不收取的。5、我是出发前一个月提交的申请,北京证中心的也建议提前一个月提交,以防证官只给一个月有效期的证(看穷游上有朋友就这样悲剧过)。6、证中心电话很好打入,如有任何问直接电话过去咨询好了,态度马马虎虎。 关于印度的交通在印度旅行多日之后,我发现最大的挑战不是到达一个地方,而是怎样到达。我没有选择飞机,一是机场距离市区远,太过浪费时间,二是在不靠谱的印度,飞机的安全性我不得不慎重考虑。我也很少选择长途大巴,印度的路况之差,超载之严重,长时间的走走停停,总叫我心生绝望。所以我更多选择还是火车。火车印度国土面积大,城市间距离远,交通设施落后,对于旅行时间有限的旅行者,夜班火车成为既安全又节约时间的交通工具。我都是在国内通过ClearTrip网站提前半个多月预订的火车票,然后把电子订单存在手机里直接上车。我没有冒险去火车站排队购买,后来我觉得这个决定非常正确。先不说临时能不能买到合适车票,就是看到车站人山人海场景,就会叫你不知所措。在印度火车站,你随时都能感受到中国春运式的拥挤。如果你行程固定,你就提前在国内预定好车票吧,哪怕临时改变行程,退票费也不高,按照我经验,临时购买始发长途车票还是比较难的。关于ClearTrip订票,网上有很详细的订票攻略。整体感觉ClearTrip还是比较好用的,我除了一次支付失败外,其余全都一次成功。在做行程规划时,通过ClearTrip实时查询火车的班次、余票状况也对行程的计划有很大帮助。关于印度火车等级,网上也有很详细的介绍说明。除了Delhi到Amritsar外,我全程都是乘坐的AC3且都是上铺(upper)。一般来说,我还是建议选择AC3,性价比最高。AC3车厢封闭带有空调,并且提供床单和毛毯,既不怕过冷过热也不怕吵,便于晚上休息。据我观察,SLEEP以下等级车厢大都敞开窗户,夜间风和噪音都会很大。关于铺别,个人觉得能选择上铺(upper)尽量选择上铺。中铺(Middle)和下铺(Lower)都面临着同样问----不方便提早休息。白天中铺是收起来的,而下铺坐满了人。后来我发现靠近过道的边铺也是一个非常好的选择。边铺分为上铺(Side Lower)与下铺(Side Upper)两个铺位,拉上帘子成为一个独立的私密空间,既可以躺着看窗外的风景,也可以靠在隔断上看书。以前我看有评论说边铺不适合170cm以上的人,我试了一下,175CM以下的人躺下没有问,如果以后再去印度,我会选择边铺。提醒一点,尽量不要预订车厢头尾靠近车门的上铺,那里是空调的出风口,风很大很冷,而且脚下没有挡板,当脚伸出床外很容易被开关的车门碰到。关于火车的卫生状况,我觉得完全可以接受,火车上提供的床单和枕头套都是新洗干净的,乘坐AC3的印度乘客卫生意识也比较强,每天清晨都有乘务员来清扫车厢,所以我感觉至少不比国内硬卧车厢卫生状况差。曾经有朋友提到印度火车上老鼠、蟑螂到处跑,除了在去Jodpur的火车上看到一不明物体乱窜,在其他火车上没有看到任何老鼠和蟑螂,也没有蚊子,可能和乘务员喷洒杀虫剂有关。关于火车上饮食,我感觉参差不齐,大多时候是比较难吃的。印度火车上会有乘务员兜售各种饮料、水、茶、冰淇淋、素三明治及咖喱饭,但是质量因不同的列车公司而不同。晚餐是要提前预定的,有乘务员过来询问,一般8点之后开始提供,饭菜基本上都是两种咖喱(有的列车提供一荤一素,有的只提供素食),两张Naan和一份米饭。如果你错过的话,就只能忍饥挨饿了。我建议背包里最好放一些应急食品,以防万一,我在从Jaipur到Jodpur的火车上就不提供晚餐。关于行李寄存和防盗。很多人都对印度火车的盗窃现象描绘得很严重,其实一般来说,贵重物品放在身边,大件行李锁在铺下就没有问了,印度乘客也都是这么做的。火车站就有人兜售铁链和锁头,但是那个太重了,建议出发前在国内买那种小的线型密码锁就可以,整体来说AC3车厢安全状况还是值得信任的。车站CloakRoom提供寄存行李向日葵视频色板APP官网,每件行李10卢比一天。首先要填写一个寄存单,提供车票和护照,且每件行李必须要上锁,经工作人员核对后,便可以寄存。寄存行李也是一件考验你耐心的时候,除了工作人员每天有固定休息时间外,你还会经常会遇到一下子寄存十几件行李的乘客。关于火车站设施。火车站除了提供行李寄存向日葵视频色板APP官网,一般还都会提供不同等级的Waiting Room,而且还有女性专用的Lady's Waiting Room,进入休息室休息需要提供相等级的车票。休息室里有卫生巾,大的车站还提供Shower Room。虽然都是冷水淋浴,但是在炎热的印度,能冲个澡就已经很奢侈了。火车站大厅会有电子告示牌,提供各车次站台信息,站台也相应的有电子指示牌提供到站车次和车厢信息,不过最好还是和同站台的印度乘客确认一下。关于火车晚点,在印度我乘坐的6趟火车没有一次准点到站,大都晚点15分钟到半个小时,看来晚点是一个普遍现象,所以建议朋友们去印度旅行不宜把时间安排的过于紧凑,至少预留1小时的机动时间。印度火车到站是不报站名的,火车站扬声器里也都是印度语,所以以免坐过站,最好提前和同车的印度乘客打好招呼提醒你下车,我发现每一个印度乘客都能神奇的认出每一个车站。最后不得不提印度的“动车”,也就是日间行驶在各大城市之间的快车。它只提供空调座椅,并提供餐饮服务,所有费用包含着车票里。我在从德里到阿姆利则6个小时的火车上,乘务员在不停的提供饮品、小吃、甜点、正餐及冰淇淋,很遗憾当天我因为喝了过多的冰水而拉肚子,被Amy称作印度最好的咖喱饭和冰淇淋我都没有吃到,后悔后悔。汽车作为火车的补充,我在印度分别乘坐了几次汽车。长途客车一般来说长途客车分为官方和私人运营两种,两种都是可靠和值得信赖的。官方运营的车辆需要在各个城市的汽车站或者指定的售票处和网站购票,私人运营的购票则比较随意,多数旅店和旅行社都代售,比较方便。印度大多数长途客车都是没有空调的,车况尚可,但大多情况下都会超载。印度有一种比较特别的客车,就是坐铺和卧铺混合型的,底下是坐位,头顶是卧铺。拉贾斯坦邦运营着一些豪华的空调旅游大巴,车型主要是沃尔沃和奔驰,干净舒适,只是票价略贵,和火车卧铺接近。可以找旅行社通过网络预订,也可以自己到售票处购票。我在印度乘坐了两次长途客车,一次是从阿格拉前往斋普尔,还有一次是从焦特布尔到乌代普尔。去斋普尔是那种豪华大巴,舒适速度快,中间只靠站一次,方便乘客上厕所和吃饭。去乌代普尔则是普通的长途客车,虽然没有空调,但是开着车窗并不热,车内还算干净,不过该车几乎每个小城市都要停靠好久,路上浪费非常多的时间。短途客车一般连接大城市和周边地区,多数情况下在汽车站滚动发车,上车买票。有时你会发现他们的票价很随意,前后不一,不过你不用担心,一般差价也就是几卢比。汽车上基本都是印度文,上车前一定要确认好目的地。车型一般是中巴或者小巴,非常拥挤,超载严重。我从阿格拉去西格里乘坐了两次短途客车,座椅不是很舒服,车内也乱糟糟的,汽车走走停停,开的非常慢。公交车在印度的大城市有比较发达的公交系统,不过我也只是在斋普尔往返琥珀堡乘坐了两次,其余时候因为不了解如何乘坐,基本都是选择乘坐TUTU车。在德里、斋普尔有比较现代的公交车,有的还有空调,这些应该都是国营的公交车。同样还有很多小巴和中巴的私人公交车,这些车座位很少,腾出更大空间为了能装更多的乘客。出租车在印度机场和火车站外都会有预付费出租车,价格固定,虽然价格略高,但是免去和出租车司机讨价还价。先和柜台说明你要去的地址,工作人员便会报价,觉得没问就先付费,然后工作人员会给你一张收据,在外面便会有司机等候,中途不要将收据给司机,只有到了目的地才能给收据司机,收据是司机去得报酬的唯一凭证。印度的大街小巷里面穿梭着无数的TUTU车,这也是南亚、东南亚很多国家常见的市区活动代步工具。这些TUTU看似无法无天横冲直撞着,但是绝大多数情况下,还是比较安全的(除了让人崩溃的瓦拉纳西,那里随时都可能发生交通事故)。乘坐TUTU车之前先要确认好价格,一般情况下TUTU司机都会把价格开得很高,有时甚至会高的离谱,和这些TUTU司机砍价是最叫人崩溃的事情之一。除了确认好价格外,一定要说清楚去的地方地址,不到目的一般不要先付费,遇到黑心司机会见机投机取巧的。很多TUTU司机在你上车后不厌其烦推销旅店和纪念品店,他们都是为了拿回扣,如果不赶时间,去看看无妨,一般情况下还是要坚持不去。印度还有大量的人力三轮车,价格比TUTU车便宜,车夫都是一些年纪较大或者更贫苦的印度人,经常会被TUTU司机嘲笑。乘坐人力三轮车时候,我觉得不要把价格压得太低,或者给一些消费,这些卖体力的车夫是印度最底层的劳动者,非常辛苦。地铁德里和加尔各答都有地铁,乘坐很方便,乘坐方式和国内无异,对于交通混乱的印度,地铁绝对是一个便捷、便宜、快速的选择。不过,印度地铁站我感觉随时都像向日葵色板官方的早高峰,人山人海,非常拥挤,如果遇到素质低一些的印度人,推推搡搡,很使人恼火。印度地铁一般都有专门的女士车厢,偶尔你会在里面看到一些游客或者西方面孔男性乘客在里面。 关于印度吃住吃印度的脏是出了名的,所以很多人担心印度食品的安全状况,再加上印度除了咖喱就是咖喱的传闻,对于爱吃的中国人来说,印度无疑是吃货的地狱,其实并不是这样。在印度半个多月,我和Amy没有因为吃造成腹泻,偶尔尝试了两次路边摊和当地人的小餐馆,向日葵色板官方都没有太大问,当然一般情况下向日葵色板官方首选还是看上去比较干净的餐馆。应该说,只要略加注意,不要刚到印度就去尝试马路摊点,应该不会有太大问。关于印度饮食的种类,印度和中国一样,国土面积大、民族多、信仰多,加上长时间的殖民历史,致使印度食物种类非常多,在印度菜单上向日葵色板官方除了看到印度本地特色的Thalis、Dosa、Butter Chicken、Biryani的食物,还能看到大量的Chinese Food、Korea Food、Isreal Food,并且同一种食物在不同城市做法、味道都差距很大。在印度可能使我不大习惯印度的饮食,一是宗教原因,大多餐馆只经营素食,而是印度饭菜口味比较重。在印度,80%以上都是印度教徒,加上严格吃素的佛教徒和耆那教徒,印度有半数以上的人素食主义者,毫不夸张的说,印度是素食王国。在很多城市,我根本无法找到任何经营肉食的餐馆,甚至一些西餐厅为了适应印度人饮食习惯会提供素汉堡和素披萨。印度大多地方天气比较热,为了增强食欲,他们的饭菜的口味都比较重,游客不太容易接受。住印度每个大城市几乎都有一个背包客聚集的地方,像位于新德里火车站对面的Main Bazzar、加尔各答的萨德街、瓦拉纳西的迷宫小巷、乌代普尔的皮丘拉湖周围等等,在这些地方高中低档住宿一应俱全,非常容易寻找。印度大多客栈房间提供电扇,少数房间提供制冷扇和空调,我感觉在拉贾斯坦、德里这些现对干燥的城市,电扇可以完全满足要求,而加尔各答、瓦拉纳西则显得潮湿闷热,最好还是选择有空调的房间。印度还有很多客栈不提供热水洗浴,只有冷水淋浴,就算有的客栈有电热水器,但因为年久失修,大都工作不正常,入住时一定要检查仔细。关于住宿预订,一般旅行我是不喜欢提前预定的,因为我觉得预订价格高而且没有办法看到房间实际情况。不过在印度的经历,我感觉,印度大多数客栈预订与实际谈价价格差别很小,因为很多客栈都是老板雇人经营,价格固定,店员没有办法给你什么优惠。热门客栈房间还是很紧张的,几乎每天都住满,还是提前预订好。 关于货币及汇率印度货币是卢比,经观察可以支持几乎所有大国货币兑换,不过对比下来美元应该还是最合算的。印度支持私人货币兑换,你可以在所有游客集中的区域找到货币兑换店,有时候一些商店和珠宝店兼做货币兑换生意,他们给出的汇率要高于银行,所以不用非找银行兑换。不过很多私人兑换店只收面值为50和100的美元。注意,兑换货币时候,一定要问清有没有手续费、税费等,以免奸商钻空子。虽然按照兑换店老板所说汇率一直下跌,但是按照我的感觉,加尔各答的汇率最高,德里次之,最不划算的是阿格拉和阿姆利则,德里Main Bazzar内一家比较大的连锁兑换店给的人民币兑换汇率最高。加尔各答 1美元:53卢比(机场给的汇率是1美元:49多,还要收取手续费)瓦拉纳西 1美元:51.5卢比德里 1美元:51.8卢比(临回国时候,汇率为1美元:52卢比)阿姆利则 1美元:51卢比阿格拉 1美元:51卢比斋普尔 1美元:51.5卢比焦特布尔 1美元:51.5卢布一般情况下,一个城市正式的货币兑换店间给的汇率几乎一样,砍价基本上都没有用。 关于印度消费水平和购物作为一个大国,印度物价极其便宜,可能因为印度并不算是一个旅游大国,商店、餐馆面对的更多是本国消费者,所以所有价格转换成人民币你都会觉得便宜的要死,我在德里就眼看到两个西方女孩一人抱买了五六条毛毯带走。印度很多商品也都是全国统一定价,价格就直接印在包装上,不用担心被黑心摊贩所要高价。在印度没有超市,但你随时都能找到各种市场,这里既经营老百姓日常生活所需的油盐酱醋茶,又经营各种衣服、鞋帽、日用品,在印度购物你不会觉得太困难。对于喜欢手工艺品和异域风情服饰的人来说印度绝对是购物天堂,这里充满印度特色的各种商品加上便宜的价格令人无法抗拒。其实除了德里、阿格拉和拉贾斯坦,我却很少看到旅游纪念品商店,那些经营本地特色商品的商店主要面对的是本地人,所以老板开价一般都不高。对于各城市商品价格,我感觉差距不是很大,尤其是常见的印度服饰、鞋、大理石雕刻、木雕等,不过各城市还有有一些自己独特的东西,譬如阿格拉的大理石刻、焦特布尔的木雕和香料、乌代普尔的细密画和皮具等。 关于印度人及印度旅行注意事项很多人说印度人比较坏,尤其是对中国人不友善,经过半个多月的北印旅行,我感觉其实也不是这样的。大多数印度人给人感觉不容易接近,他们一般面无表情的注视着游客,当你冲他们微笑,他们也木然的盯着你,给人一种很凶的感觉,其实经过接触你会发现他们只是羞涩和好奇,不苟言笑,不像尼泊尔和兰卡人那么热情,但是当你有事真的向他们求救,他们会非常乐意帮忙。几次乘车时,我和印度人聊天,他们对中国也毫无敌意,对中国或多或少都有所了解,并且很多人都很有自知之明,认为中国远比印度发达。可能这就是一个民主国家,老百姓可以通过各种媒介了解外面的世界。对于印度的注意事项,LP上作为重点用很大篇幅来介绍印度旅行会遇到的骗局,只要你充分做了攻略,这些老旧的骗局已经完全赶不上世界的发展,只要稍加注意便可以避免。唯一叫人感到最麻烦的就是和每个城市的TUTU司机打交道,他们会利用一切机会来投机取巧,从中获得一点小利,哪怕你给他的价格已经很高了。对于应付TUTU司机我也没有很好的方法,人生地不熟,总能叫他们得到机会,记住一点就好了,一切费用上车前全部谈好,不到目的地坚决不付钱。其它方面,饮食上要注意,尽量不要食用路边食物,饮水尽量喝瓶装水,印度天气炎热,注意防晒和补水,不要去招惹印度的流浪狗,注意防盗等等就好了。对于打疫苗我感觉全凭自己需要,打了安心,不打也没有问,并不像报道的那样这里有着各种传染病。 总体来说,印度远没有大家想象的那么差,虽然它很贫穷、它很落后、它脏乱差,但是这些和印度所带给你的各种心灵震撼比完全是微不足道的。瓦拉纳西,恒河晨浴焦特布尔,梅兰加尔下的那片蓝乌代普尔,城市宫殿与皮丘拉湖 阿格拉,夕阳下的阿格拉堡加尔各答,维多利亚宫德里,红堡加尔各答,一切都是未知在决定去印度旅行那一刻起,我就不断地否定自己,是不是这个决定做的过于草率和盲目这种不安心情有点像我第一次背包旅行,一切都是那么的不确定尽管读了大量的攻略、做了最详细的计划、甚至订好了每一段的车票“不可思议的印度”俨然变成“按部就班的印度”但是我的心里还是忐忑不安,不敢畅想这接下来几个未知的日子当飞机缓缓降落的那刻起,我的心才开始兴奋起来-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2012.9.30Kolkata到达加尔各答已经是晚上12点飞机上广播着当地的天气,34度的气温和80%的湿度,叫从中国北方来的我咋舌加尔各答国际机场并不大,设施简单,不过向日葵视频色板APP官网到位,停机坪到入境大厅也就百米距离,却有摆渡车接送外籍人入境窗口排队的只有向日葵色板官方十几个中国游客,看样子来印度,尤其是加尔各答的中国人非常少办理手续很简单,没有遇到曾经网上提到过的刁难、索贿等现象,只是办事人员严肃表情的叫你畏惧顺利入关拿到托运行李后就去兑换卢比机场只有两个货币兑换窗口,汇率一样,且都要收取手续费我只换了30美元,保证当晚的坐车和住宿,机场给的汇率太低了预订加尔各答住宿时候咨询机场接站需要700Rs,和房费差不多,后来放弃这个想法在很多攻略里提到印度的机场、车站都有正规的预付费出租车(Pre-Pay Taxi),安全且明码价找到预付费出租车柜台,向日葵视频色板APP官网人员告诉向日葵色板官方,到Royd街只要230Rs远远低于网上说的400Rs,刚刚那种挨宰的感觉立刻抛之脑后,欣然接受打印出来的票面上有你要去的目的地和出租车车牌号切记不到目的地,不要把车票给出租车司机,这是他们回来拿钱的唯一凭证,LP上有讲各种乘车骗局出了机场大门,就有大量出租车司机蜂拥上来,争问着我要去哪里给他们看了眼手里的车票,他们指着远处的亭子便散开了那个亭子是预付费出租车管理亭,里面没有电灯,黑漆漆一片向日葵视频色板APP官网员拿过车票,借着路灯光亮做了记录,叫向日葵色板官方在亭外等着不一会一辆出租车开过来当我确认上车后,一个黑瘦的向日葵视频色板APP官网员问我要10美金做小费,我摇摇头说没有他又要100Rs说是车费,我拿着票说已经付过了,他才很不情愿的放弃出了机场,出租车在路上飞驰窗外建筑低矮破旧、灯光昏暗,汽车在坑挖的道路上无序的穿来穿去景色和加德满都何等的相似车开了半个多小时,还没有一丁点大城市的感觉没有见到高楼大厦、也没有见到宽阔的道路汽车在狭窄的巷子里穿梭,两边都是凌乱不堪的房子偶尔能看到有人横七竖八的睡在街边只是灯光亮了许多经过数次打听总算到了我预定的Sunflower Guest House下车后先看到三个同机的中国朋友,她们正无助的转来转去原来客栈大门已关,这里也没有前台,只有一个向日葵视频色板APP官网员睡在电梯边,但她们呼唤了半天,向日葵视频色板APP官网员没有半点醒意思不得已,Amy推醒那个向日葵视频色板APP官网员,询问他在哪里Check in,向日葵色板官方预定了房间向日葵视频色板APP官网员指指电梯,然后又好似睡去我们几个人无奈的自己开了电梯门,发现这个古董电梯向日葵色板官方根本不会用足足一分钟后,那个向日葵视频色板APP官网员,总算睡眼惺忪的进来了,话也不说,开始操作电梯到了顶层,向日葵视频色板APP官网员叩开一间房门,叫醒地上睡着的另外两个向日葵视频色板APP官网员就这样,在闷热的房间里,花了1个小时,总算是完成check in,印度人做事太磨蹭了不过向日葵色板官方还是幸运的另一队朋友预订信息却找不到,不过好在还有空房,所以朋友们如果去印度预定酒店,一定要在出发前确认好,印度人做事有时太不靠谱加尔各答住宿较贵,向日葵色板官方订的是比较便宜的房间,房间狭小,窗户也是朝着楼梯间,不过还算干净现在已经都北京时间凌晨5点了,我足足24小时没有合眼,洗了个澡很快睡去不知道怎么一个天明迎接向日葵色板官方 2012.10.1Kolkata可能旅途劳累,一觉睡到闹表响收拾好行李退房,把大包寄存开始了加尔各答简短的一天行程出发前查攻略发现来加尔各答旅行的人很少就算来到加尔各答也是短暂的中转对加尔各答的描述基本都是没有意思所以我计划只在这里停留一天,然后乘晚上火车前往瓦拉纳西不过人算不如天算今天我本计划去维多利亚纪念馆、印度博物馆,但是没想到周一这两个地方全都闭馆最后我和Amy决定先前往维多利亚纪念馆看看,哪怕只看看外表曾经有人这样描述印度----印度肮脏、混乱、贫穷的场景让他一刻也不愿意停留出了客栈大门,我却感觉眼前的景色反而很亲切炙热的太阳、穿梭的TUTU、五颜六色的建筑、肤色黝黑的行人、甚至空气中的气息,都像极兰卡Royd街没有给我任何肮脏、混乱的感觉,反而觉得很悠闲当向日葵色板官方拐出Royd街,加尔各答变成另一个模样,嘈杂、繁忙、混乱街道交织纵横,拿着地图也很难分辨路的方向我和Amy沿着Park St边问边往维多利亚纪念馆方向走路两边巍然耸立着的古老宏伟的英式殖民建筑,路上行人行色匆匆 加尔各答,印度最大的城市,现西孟加拉邦的首府,一个拥有1500万人口的大城市加尔各答曾作为英国殖民时期印度首府,一直是英国在印度统治的中心,拥有300多年的历史不过,现在这座城市里稍微端庄一点的建筑物均是英国人的遗产,当年的总督府、法院、中央银行,以及志性的维多利亚纪念馆等等这条通往维多利亚纪念馆的大路叫做尼赫鲁大街公路一侧非常繁华,银行、酒店、商场、饭店比比皆是公路另一侧栅栏里就是麦丹广场,但栅栏外却是大片的垃圾场麦丹广场(Maidan)被人们称为“加尔各答之肺”它是由一块巨大的草坪组成的巨大广场,整个广场树木葱茏,鸟语花香很多当地人来这里散步、野餐或乘凉,还有很多孩子在这里骑马、打板球整个环境宁静和谐,这一切的确与先前所耳闻的印度脏乱差情景有着很大的反差穿过麦丹广场就能看到马路对面的一栋白色建筑这就是维多利亚纪念馆(Victoria Memorial)当我看到它第一眼时就被那这座建筑惊呆了整座白色宫殿矗立在绿草地上,仿佛一艘荡漾在碧波上的白船,高资典雅不过很不走运,我到的当天正值维多利亚纪念馆的休息日,只能参观外围公园即使这样,整座建筑也叫外人唏嘘不已维多利亚纪念馆始建于1901年融合了文艺复兴时期和伊斯兰风格,并融汇了英国、意大利和印度的建筑及雕刻技艺的白色宫殿是加尔各答最美丽的建筑物维多利亚纪念馆的建造目的是为了庆祝维多利亚女王结婚60周年这座见证爱情的建筑如今成为印度青年男女约会的圣地纪念馆前绿草茵茵、碧波荡漾,游客悠闲地漫步湖边清洁的水泥小路上整个维多利亚纪念馆真是美不胜收站在维多利亚纪念馆湖边,可远眺加尔各答市区的高楼整个环境宁静和谐,远离了印度城市的喧嚣和肮脏出了维多利亚纪念馆,已经时至中午加尔各答地处热带,本就潮湿闷热,加上中午太阳炙烤体力透支的我和Amy没有了继续往前走的兴致匆匆看了一眼圣保罗大教堂,便往萨德街走攻略上说萨德街距维多利亚纪念馆只有步行二十分钟的距离向日葵色板官方以印度博物馆为坐,边打听边走,其实就是沿原路返回可是这次我觉得路途好远,麦丹广场好大在烈日下狂走半个小时,总算找到印度博物馆周一,和维多利亚纪念馆一样关门休息据称这里是印度藏品最丰富的纪念馆,没有能进去参观非常遗憾印度,真是放着的钱也不赚印度博物馆外是一片嘈杂的市场主要经营的本地服装、鞋帽、日用品如同天津的大胡同、北京的动物园、上海的七浦路等等过了印度博物馆很快就找到了萨德街这条街两侧如同两个世界一侧是学校、咖啡馆、旅店和小商店,另一侧却是贫民窟这些印度最底层的老百姓在墙根屋檐下搭一块塑料布,地上摆着破旧的锅碗,墙上挂着几个塑料袋他们就在污水横流的街边埋锅煮饭,而空气中弥漫着一股腥臊恶臭的气息这就是他们的栖身之地,有点惨不忍睹萨德街路口处的黄包车我来萨德街的目的就是为了换钱和吃饭不过这次又偏离了目看着岔路口远处的繁华,我离开萨德街,进入了一片非常大市场这里从高科技的数码向日葵视频色版下载到服装、化妆品、工艺品、食品应有尽有街道中间则被小吃摊、小商贩摆的各种摊位所占据不过这里却找不到想找的货币兑换店和像样的餐馆离开这片嘈杂的市场返回萨德街这条东西方向的小街才是背包客聚集地街内布满了各式各样的旅馆、餐馆、网吧、及外汇兑换店在这里可以看到行行色色的各国的游客问了几家货币兑换店汇率都是一样,想还价也都遭到拒绝这就是国情的差异,同样是私人的货币兑换,却都是固定汇率换完钱后就是解决午餐初来乍到,还真不敢尝试印度街边的食物最后找到一家非常干净的小饭店点了在兰卡常吃的鸡肉炒饭和很多人攻略里推荐的印度黄油鸡美美午餐一顿餐后我和Amy计划前往泰戈尔故居和胡戈里河向日葵色板官方来到尼赫鲁大街,发现大量的游行队伍高举着镰刀斧头旗帜,向日葵色板官方陷入了红色的海洋加尔各答是印度共产主义的强大基地印度**控制的左翼阵线在西孟加拉邦连续执政达30年,是世界上执政时间最长的民主选举的**政府下到Esplande地铁站完全叫人窒息售票窗口排满了人,这和中国早晚高峰无异而且整个地铁站没有空调和电扇,闷热无比商量后,向日葵色板官方决定放弃前往其它地方,只在萨德街附近闲逛,好好休息,晚上还要坐一宿火车这一大片区域就是加尔各达著名的New Market,已经有150年的历史是加尔各答最繁华的商业区New Market周围都是各种古老雄伟的殖民建筑下午的市场更加热闹随着人流漫步其间,不由得感叹,加尔各达真是个充满生活气息的城市 就这样走走停停在New Market周围耗了整整一下午时间几乎走遍每一条街道市场是有各种各样出售民族服饰和纪念品的摊点明码价,非常便宜因为这些都不是为游客准备的晚饭后,向日葵色板官方返回客栈取行李因害怕路上耽搁,晚上8点的火车,不到6点向日葵色板官方就出发了出了门就开始空难重重拦下路边的TUTU车,司机一听去火车站,直接摇头不去不得已,向日葵色板官方又步行到Park St看着飞驰的出租车,向日葵色板官方根本打不到,或者说不知道怎么打车路两边高高的栏杆围着,伸手招呼出租车,出租车司机根本就看不到不得已向日葵色板官方背着大包在Park St两侧窜来窜去,如热锅上的蚂蚁最后总算强行拦下一辆出租车出租车离开繁华的Park St,沿着麦丹广场往北开驶过宏伟的维多利亚宫和威廉古堡后,道路变的极其拥堵,而且毫无秩序汽车走走停停,经过近一个小时的爬行,终于看到了灯火通明的大桥我本计划白天来胡各里河上参观豪拉大桥和加尔各答城的如今在夜幕下的河两岸显得异常安静,只有星星点点一些灯光倒影到是豪拉大桥上灯火辉煌,车火马龙、热闹非凡过了大桥,那座宏伟的红色建筑便是豪拉火车站这里更是难以名状的拥挤,出租车把站前广场和进站口挤得水泄不通经过一翻奋战,终于进了车站大厅站在来回涌动的滚滚人流中,我再一次感到窒息这里的人已经不能用多来形容放眼望去,视力能及的地方都是人,唯一的一点空隙也都有人在穿梭印度火车站是不需要检票便可以进入的,也不需要安检,更没有什么车站工作人员一般情况下都是自己去电子提示牌看火车停靠站台在这种场景下,我有些不知所措哪里有问讯处?哪里有休息室?哪里有电子提示牌?我的眼里只剩下人好在时间尚早,我和Amy边打听边找站台后来总算找到几个军人问清了向日葵色板官方所乘火车的站台我和Amy坐在站台一角,看着穿梭不息的人群,不由得恐惧向日葵色板官方从来就没有见过这么多人哪怕中国春运和这里比也是小巫见大巫可这却是印度火车站的常态回想起这短短一天的加尔各答之行,心中感触还是蛮深的很多人把加尔各答比作上海同样是位于一条大河的入海口,临江望海,鱼米之乡,却在帝国主义的炮舰胁迫下开放通商作为曾经王朝的首都,经济、文化、交通的中心这里拥有许多哥特式建筑、巴洛克建筑、罗曼式建筑、东方式和伊斯兰建筑这里诞生了不少世界知名的诗人、思想家印度有五位诺贝尔获奖者来自加尔各答但是随着社会的发展逐渐沉沦,并成为印度的一个缩影巍然耸立的欧式建筑、富丽堂皇的酒店商铺与狭窄昏暗的街道、数不清的贫民窟交织在一起1500万的人口已经成为这个城市的负担向日葵色板官方留给加尔各答的时间太短了,多少有些遗憾在加尔各答有很多事情可以去做,而不像很多攻略中提到的“毫无看头”离开加尔各答的时刻终于要到了我随着熙熙攘攘的人流,匆忙窜上火车,恐怕错过一样我的下一个目的地----瓦拉纳西那里是最脏乱差的印度那里还是最精彩的印度

Book我把手中的LP给他,他一边翻着书一边问我是不是韩国人我就顺口说是啊,TUTU司机立刻用韩语问我好,我也学着用韩语回答着这时TUTU司机翻开瓦拉纳西的地图,告诉我Assi Ghat附近有多么多么好多么多么便宜酒店,而且那里有很多韩国人由于那里离我想去的老城很远,我拒绝了,并要求到老城的Ganga Fuji Guest House司机说那里路很窄,TUTU进不去,然后继续和我说他要带我去的酒店有多么多么好我对迷宫小巷早有耳闻,TUTU车进不去,但是那里住宿集中,离Main Ghat也近,我依然坚持到老城的Ganga Fuji最后司机不太情愿的同意了其实我并没有预订瓦拉纳西的住宿选择Ganga Fuji是网上推荐并且说那里是迷宫小巷的地性建筑,当地人都知道我和Amy准备到了那再找合适住宿TUTU车冲出车站天气很热,加上气候干燥,整个城市笼罩在灰尘之中瓦拉纳西的路不算宽,遍地垃圾自行车、汽车、摩托车、人力三轮车随意在路上行驶着,车速非常快这里的交通可以用无序来形容向日葵色板官方的TUTU车画着之子在车流中穿梭TUTU司机用印度英语和我聊着天我几乎听不懂,Amy给我翻译着TUTU司机说很多和向日葵色板官方一样来瓦拉纳西的旅行者,都说自己是韩国人但是经过交流发现这些人根本不是韩国人,因为他们说的话根本不像韩语这些旅行者要么是日本人,要么是中国人,要么是来自台湾我偷偷把中文的攻略盖上,小声和Amy说,咱们俩说话后面要加上“思密达”吧后面发生了惊险的一幕司机一边和我们聊着天,一边开着TUTU车,车速飞快这时前面一辆小汽车突然刹车,TUTU司机一看要追尾,立刻向右一拐与此同时后面窜上来一辆摩托车,直接撞在我们的TUTU上摩托司机站起来,怒目而视,嚷嚷起来只见TUTU司机指着前面的小汽车,也大吼起来,好像是说前面汽车急刹车我也没办法,只能躲他,撞到你你认倒霉吧看样子可能要打起来就在我惊魂未定的时候,TUTU司机一踩油门离开肇事地点然后TUTU司机回过头和我继续聊着先前话,仿佛没有发生任何事情这就是印度混乱的交通,这就是不可思议的印度TUTU司机把向日葵色板官方拉倒加油站,说要加油然后找我要60Rs,说他早晨没有挣到钱,叫我先付了车费,然后一个劲的说No problem,会把向日葵色板官方送到,叫我放心我感觉这个司机很热情,而且我也不能太不信任别人,我就替他付了油钱后面TUTU司机一样边开车边给向日葵色板官方介绍着瓦拉纳西,告诉向日葵色板官方每一个地方的特点,依然很热情TUTU车开了很久,却不见任何城市热闹的场景,反而越走越荒凉不久TUTU车拐进一条小巷,然后停下来,告诉我下车,里面开不进去了我以为这就是迷宫小巷,连忙道谢TUTU司机叫向日葵色板官方跟着他,说他带向日葵色板官方去Ganga Fuji我和Amy将信将疑的跟着TUTU司机把向日葵色板官方带进到一个居民楼下,说这里就是Ganga Fuji,然后边招呼向日葵色板官方边和客栈老板用印地语交流着我们站在门口发现这里没有任何牌子Amy机警的问客栈老板这是Ganga Fuji吗?老板含糊的说是然后客栈老板问向日葵色板官方住什么样的房间,向日葵色板官方说先看看房间情况再决定老板带向日葵色板官方上楼看房间,Amy和我还是很疑惑,这么有名的客栈不可能没有牌匾啊这家客栈房间倒是宽敞、干净,有的房间还可以眺望到恒河,空调间750Rs不过我和Amy还是非常怀疑这个客栈的身份,决定再看看离开时,Amy和老板要名片,老板说已经发完了出了门,Amy到隔壁问这家客栈名字,邻居也说不清楚向日葵色板官方确信这是假冒的Ganga Fuji,决定自己找TUTU司机看向日葵色板官方要离开就一直纠缠着向日葵色板官方当向日葵色板官方打听路,他会用印地语和对方说着什么,好像阻止对方给向日葵色板官方指路当向日葵色板官方决定往小巷的某一侧走的时候,他总是说路不对,然后指引向日葵色板官方往相反的方向走最后把我逼的忍无可忍,大吼着把他赶走这就是来到印度厚向日葵色板官方遇到的第一件不愉快的事情因为我提前付了钱,这个TUTU司机就没有把我们带到向日葵色板官方要去的老城,而是把向日葵色板官方带到了能收取回扣的客栈这里位置非常偏远,应该在Assi Ghat附近,正常情况下很少有游客到这边的打发走了TUTU司机,我和Amy边打听边往沿着恒河往城里走这时候已经时至中午,潮湿闷热的瓦拉纳西很快叫向日葵色板官方两人都感到虚脱最后在一条小巷找到了网上推荐过的OM Guest House(阿木之家)和久美子(kumiko Guest House)向日葵色板官方先到OM,这里房间虽然很简陋,也没有空调和热水淋浴,但是体力透支使我们不想在背着大包去其它地方,决定就住在这里OM不知道是不是韩国人经营的旅店,这里住满了韩国游客而隔壁的久美子却是日本旅行者的聚集地舒舒服服的冲了个冷水澡,饥热交迫使向日葵色板官方顾不得去什么恒河,随便到门口一家餐馆填饱肚子饭后,向日葵色板官方沿着小巷主路去逛恒河和迷宫小巷在印度,印度教信徒终生怀有4大乐趣----住瓦拉纳西、结交圣人、饮恒河水、敬仰湿婆神其中有三个都要在瓦拉纳西实现瓦拉纳西因为独特的地理位置成为了印度教徒眼中唯一的圣城,享有“印度之光”的称号瓦拉纳西原名贝拿勒斯(Benares),相传6000年前由婆罗门教和印度教主神之一的湿婆神所建早在公元前4至6世纪,这里已是印度的学术中心,并在此诞生了印度另一古老的宗教耆那教公元前5世纪,释迦牟尼在瓦拉纳西西北10公里处的鹿野苑首次公开讲经传教公元7世纪,唐僧玄奘到此游历朝圣,并写下著作《大唐西域记》美国作家马克·吐温当年来这里讲学时,幽默地称这座城市“比历史古老,比传统古老,甚至比传说还要古老。它看起来比所有这一切加起来还要老上两倍多”。由此可见,瓦拉纳西不仅在印度、甚至在全世界上来讲,都是一座沉淀了丰厚历史与文化的名城不过我对瓦拉纳西的第一印象却是肮脏、拥挤、狭窄、杂乱无章街道两旁的建筑像快要倒塌一样,压得人喘不过气来小巷阴森恐怖,地上遍布牛粪、狗屎、垃圾,腥臭扑鼻神牛、野狗还有猴子会随时出现在你面前,阻挡你前行的方向摩托车、自行车却在不足2米宽拥挤的小巷内飞奔着男人毫不避讳外人就在街边蹲着小便可以说瓦拉纳西比你能想象的最脏乱的情景还要脏乱上两倍对于眼前的现状,我几乎丧失了继续待下去的兴趣,希望快点离开瓦拉纳西相对我的恐慌,Amy却欣然接受了眼前的一切她说这混乱、肮脏、无序的环境,充满了生活的气息,与这个城市的神圣与信仰形成了鲜明的对比对于瓦拉纳西的混乱,我几乎没有去拍,或者说那时那景我几乎不知道如何去拍照几经辛苦终于来到恒河边上阴沉沉的天气下,恒河显得异常浑浊,岸边的淤泥里沉积着所有能想象到的腐烂物河里有人在畅快的沐浴祷告,野牛和野狗在河边淤泥里找着食物,僧人在河边打坐冥思,河中偶尔有船只飘过纵然我做了充分心理准备,对于眼前的场面怎么也不能和神圣挂钩离开热闹的Dasaswamedh Ghat,返回迷宫小巷,去寻找金庙、著名的Blue Lassi和Scindhia Ghat瓦拉那西最著名的印度教寺庙金庙坐落迷宫小巷中,附近有大量警察和士兵把守因为供奉的是湿婆神,这里人气极其旺盛,每天都有大量信徒排队进入进入参观是不允许携带背包、相机、手机等物品,搜查极其严格看到长长的队伍,我们再次选择放弃过了金庙往前就是著名的Blue Lassi,LP上极力推荐,各国游客慕名而来这家蓝色的开凿在墙上的小店,出售不同口味的Lassi,纯手工制作,很有特点,是我在印度吃的最好吃的Lassi由于攻略中错误,我误以为Scindihia Ghat是焚尸河阶经过不停打听找到Scindihia Ghat,这里只有大量沐浴的人群看焚尸场面,应该说是来瓦拉纳西必做的事情之一印度教徒坚信凡在恒河死亡火化并把骨灰撒入恒河,可免受轮回之苦,直接升入天堂所以很多觉得即将死亡的老人会来到瓦拉纳西等待死亡而焚尸台每天也约有200多具尸体在此焚化,一天24小时都不停歇真正的焚尸河阶叫做Manikarnika Ghat,在Scindihia Ghat边当向日葵色板官方到达Scindihia不久天空便飘起小雨向日葵色板官方不得不放弃去Manikarnika的计划离开Scindihia,返回客栈休息,等着晚上恒河夜祭到瓦拉纳西必须要做的第二件事就是观看恒河夜祭每天晚上七点在恒河边的Dasaswamedh Ghat都要举行拜祭河神的仪式印度教徒以此感恩于恒河所赐予的一切,以示对恒河的崇敬这个流传千年的祭典沿袭每天都在这里上演,风雨不改我们到的较晚,台阶上、祭台前后、河边的船上已经都坐满了信众与游人Dasaswamedh Ghat回荡着悠扬的颂歌声整个夜祭过程是祭司用整齐、徐缓、不断重复的动作,并和着悠扬的吟唱仪式上共五种法器,每换一种法器,致敬程序基本相同,礼敬仪式都分别朝东南西北各做一遍祭司都必须是年轻纯正婆罗门氏,通过吟唱、舞蹈等表演,让人体会到宗教仪式的魔力([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for?

一说到巴厘岛,大家都会想到这是一个浪漫的地方。适合恋人牵手旅行,适合新婚夫妇共享蜜月……网上总是流传这一个说法——巴厘岛是一流的酒店、二流的海滩、三流的景点。1、对于海滩,我觉得巴厘岛确实不算很灵(蓝梦岛的dream beach除外,嘿嘿)2、至于景点,在我个人的理解下是有争议的,巴厘岛有很多人文的、历史的东西,需要沉下心来慢慢品味,虽然相比我国的历史景观相对渺小,但却有着独特的浓郁的巴厘味道!3、说到酒店!巴厘岛就确实很赞啦!向日葵色板官方全程住了6个酒店,有300多元一晚的经济型酒店,也有好几千两晚的私人villa,都相当的舒服!而且若不是蜜月,真的很推荐大家在巴厘岛多发掘几百块一晚的酒店呢,性价比超级高,而且一点不逊于那些奢华酒店!那么就从订酒店开始吧。向日葵色板官方全程一共选择的6个酒店,有冷门的,也有极其热门的。事后发现,其实真的冷门的更好。嘻嘻。因为事前没在别人的攻略或游记中看过图片,到了实地以后会有更多惊喜!首先说一下入住酒店的总体情况:9月4日-6日,乌布pertiwi 酒店deLUXE room 2晚9月6日,lovina nuguraha酒店1晚9月7日,kuta oASIs酒店1晚9月8日-10日,kuta villa de daun 叶子别墅2晚 (蜜月套餐) 9月10日,蓝梦岛coconuts酒店1晚9月11日-13日,nusadua kayumanis 肉桂别墅2晚 (蜜月套餐)出行前比较了最著名的两个订房网站booking和agoda!也学习到了一些。booking是预定后不需要付款,到了酒店后再用当地货币现场支付。agoda是预定后即扣款,现在不是只有信用卡的结算方式了,用支付宝结算更划算。两个网站的特价房都是预定后不能取消。价格嘛,反正我查过的房价加上税和向日葵视频色板APP官网费后都是booking稍便宜,但我不敢说一定!但是对于向日葵色板官方来说有一个问。因为是蜜月,所以在叶子别墅和肉桂别墅的那两晚,向日葵色板官方都想预订蜜月套餐(就是包含烛光晚餐啊、spa啊、铺满花瓣的私人泳池啊这一类“肉麻”的蜜月项目,我研究了半天,发现两个订房网站都不包含这些项目)所以向日葵色板官方最终还是选择了旅游代理为向日葵色板官方订房,房价会比订房网站更便宜,还能拿到很多benefit !我选择的中文代理是vivian。vivian家都可以通过QQ在线即时联系,也可以电话中文联系,非常方便。有需要代理联系方式的童鞋,可以跟帖回复索要哈~~~ 关于证向日葵色板官方此行是从成都出发,经吉隆坡转机抵达巴厘岛。亚航。成都-吉隆坡。因为要到马来西亚转机,所以涉及到马来西亚证,出行前做了大量攻略+自己亲身体验=120小时的免费过境意思就是:只要你从马来入境算起,120小时内会离开马来境内前往第三国,就只需到了机场后免费的过境即可吉隆坡-巴厘岛。巴厘岛是落地。所以只需准备:1、有效期在6个月内的护照2、回程机票3、在巴厘岛登帕萨机场购买25美金的落地费,获得单据即可这个部分,在接下来的游记中,会有详细图解!!!旅行装备1、出境游保险 国外和我国不一样,对本国居民几乎是医疗免费、义务医疗,但若游客在那里有个小病小灾的,或许都要支付高额医疗费。 所以出境游保险最好还是备一份。 具体的保险种类,这个确实太多了,未避免广告嫌疑,大家选择适合自己的就好。2、转换插头+接线板 按照别人的攻略,出行前我们就准备好转换插头+接线板。就单看向日葵色板官方的行程,涉及到的两个国家马来西亚和印尼就使用不同的插座插头,所以转换头必不可少,现在电子设备又多,再带个适合自己的接线板,就不怕充电烦恼啦。3、防晒霜+晒后修复 左边第一瓶粉色的是网络大热——水宝宝!我买的是无油无泪配方,我觉得真的不油呢!(我可是大油田哦!)朋友6月去柬埔寨用的水宝宝一小管的那种,她说那种很油!大家各自斟酌吧。 中间绿色的是香蕉船晒后修复,是芦荟精华来的。真心好用!在巴厘岛期间我和LG争相涂抹~~~被强烈阳光晒后皮肤先会起小颗粒,然后痒痒的,这时就赶紧抹这个,不要让皮肤发展到变红甚至脱皮的状态。总之这次出行,我们只是晒黑,真的完全没有晒伤! 最后金黄色那个就是大名鼎鼎的安耐晒金瓶!小贵!但是上脸的东西总想用精细一点!日系向日葵视频色版下载真的是无油,涂上去很清爽,我大油田肌,涂了这个还能再抹BB霜呢! 4、防晒衫 以前真心不了解这个用途,只觉得淘宝上一抓一大把,20-30块钱一件。直到出发前我一个闺蜜告诉我一定要买它,闺蜜刚从韩国留学回来,在韩国期间经常去海边浴场,她说人家都穿这个直接下海,她也穿,皮肤一样会被晒黑,但是不会晒伤! 一听到不会晒伤!我肯定就买了!于是为了拍照需要,我一次买了4件:玫红、荧光黄、橘色、白色。 这衣服的确强大!浮潜时直接穿着它下海,没有晒伤,和向日葵色板官方一起去的老外都晒得通红!上岸后一接触阳光没一会儿就干了!大爱!后来几天,我老公连T恤都不穿了,直接沙滩短裤配防晒衣,又潮又舒适又防晒! 5、水下相机 最后一件就是水下相机啦。我是在TB上租了一台。第一次使用,第一次浮潜,体会到了海底世界的美妙哦!嘻嘻! 带着水下相机出行海岛真的是乐趣多多。 泳池里可以照,浮潜时可以照。懒得拿单反时还能救个急!超多照片接下里的游记中一一奉上! 9月3日晚2130左右,我和LG抵达双流国际机场1号航站楼(现在1号只有川航和国际航线了),人还是蛮多的。因为出发前一周我才去了首尔,深深认识到成都人民对于出国旅游的热情,所以向日葵色板官方特意提前了很多到机场。 由于一周前才从这里出境,所以比较轻车熟路,拿着网上打印好的亚航登机牌,去柜台托运了行李后带着LG第一个冲到出关的地方。 由于我护照上有韩国证,所所以成都边检那个GG看了啥都没说就放行了,LG是白本出境,照例被拦下来多问了几个问。 向日葵色板官方的经验是:成都护照白本出境前往落地国家是完全没有问的哈,只需要提供你前往国家的机票就可以了,边检甚至没要求向日葵色板官方出示返程机票(向日葵色板官方准备了)和酒店订单。童鞋们放心出境吧。 9月3日2350,亚航红飞机准时起飞,9月4日4:30,准时降落吉隆坡LCCT廉价机场,一下飞机,顿时感觉真的是——廉价机场啊!一周前才去过韩国仁川机场,这差别确实太大了,LG说这个机场好像个工厂哦。不过廉价嘛,人家亚航的营销手段是很高明的。 下了飞机后就跟着大部队走,进了机场大厅直接上自动扶梯。上了二楼后,有马来证的朋友直接右转,一长排出境的柜台直接去出境就可以了。办理过境的朋友就看下图哈!!!!上了航站楼二楼后直走看左边,1分钟内就能看到!直接把护照和下一程机票递给过境窗口就是了,然后等着喊名字! 喊到名字的童鞋,拿回护照和机票什么的,转身往后走,后面是一排出口,从最左侧的出口出,把护照再给官员检查一下就可以出去了。(这段话有点儿绕,主要是当时忘了拍照,但仔细读读一定能体会的) 但这里有个问哈。第一次9月4日到达时是凌晨,就没有人要求向日葵色板官方填写马来西亚入境卡,但出境准备前往巴厘岛时,海关貌似问了向日葵色板官方为什么没有入境卡的存根,但当时我还没习惯马来英语确实听不懂,连问了几个“what”,他也无奈就放行了。 第二次9月13日是晚上抵达的,办理过境时就让向日葵色板官方填了入境卡的,然后把存根给了向日葵色板官方,第二天出境回成都时边检就收了向日葵色板官方的存根哈。看到有攻略说是在飞机上就要发放的,如果有朋友去的话,可以在飞机上就问问空姐、空少(有会中文的),该填的东西还是要填好,避免不必要的麻烦哈! 可以确定的是,去和回都没要求向日葵色板官方按指纹。 比较了吉隆坡LCCT机场和巴厘岛登帕萨机场。 LCCT的工作人员明显有素质的多!东南亚人民确实看起来就不那么“面善”有点凶的感觉,但是LCCT的工作人员你真的可以放心大胆地问他问,会热心给你指点的,不会像巴厘岛登帕萨机场,那些工作人员一副没见过钱的样子,总是找中国人索要小费,强烈BS!!! 走出机场后,看见的第一个店家就是网络大热的“OLDTOWN WHITE COFFE”(老街场白咖啡),因为要等几个小时才会继续飞,所以向日葵色板官方也选择在这里落脚,点了一份鹅肉粉,一份咖喱粉,一杯冰咖啡,一杯冰红茶,共计人民币70元的样子吧,在机场这个消费还是可以的,就是味道……我LG说我出了川系菜品其他的都吃不惯,所以走到东南亚我觉得就没有好吃的东西……咖喱味受不了的受不了啊 9月4日9时许,继续登机前往巴厘岛。 这是向日葵色板官方乘坐的红飞机!廉价机场,都是自己走着去登机的,哈哈! 9月4日1210分,飞机提前降落巴厘岛,本来还窃喜提前了,结果在跑道上滑都滑行了20分钟,真是1230准点到达啊!!!超佩服亚航的有木有。 一下飞机我又兴奋了!建在海边的机场耶!好美! 可惜单反没电了,我恨!于是水下相机+手机一阵乱拍!巴厘岛是落地!到了登帕萨机场后要做的第一件事就是跟着大部队去办理落地! 做了一个图,这样子一目了然了! 购买落地最好用美元现金,去中国银行可以换到!为什么说最好不要涉及刷卡、找钱等问呢!因为登帕萨机场的印尼工作人员就跟几辈子没见过钱一样,一看到自由行的中国人出现,就会想到小费!!!关于机场海关索要小费的问! 今年6月我朋友去柬埔寨时也碰到海关索要小费,她直接装听不懂,僵持了一下,放行了。但据说巴厘岛这边已经很嚣张了,直接用中文给你说“人民币”!如果在登帕萨机场被海关索要小费,先装听不懂,实在不行就给他,然后记住他的工牌,出来后和接机的工作人员碰头后,由他们的工作人员带着你去投诉!一定要投诉到底的! 如果大多数人英文都没好到可以直接和他理论的地部,所以先服软再投诉应该是个不错的方法!总之不要因为这些事影响旅行心情吧,毕竟也不是针对你一个中国人,是对大多数中国人都这样!哎,强烈呼唤国富力强啊!!!关于机场照相的问! 额!这个问!在登帕萨机场,能不照相还是别照了吧。如果被登帕萨机场的工作人员发现你照相,而你又确实照到了一些关键的示、建筑或者工作人员,那就会被罚款。走到别人的地界,英文又不是特别好,还真是纠结不清啊,于是所谓“罚款”、“小费”的傻傻分不清,也就只能“乖乖”认栽!曾经看到有人说过,登帕萨机场有专门抓人照相的人,会记录下来,过关时找你麻烦,所以大家,小心谨慎为妙!关于护照上落地盖章的问! 出了机场就看见向日葵色板官方订的接机工作人员,他把向日葵色板官方在巴厘岛10天的所有订单都交给了向日葵色板官方。然后他赶紧让我拿护照本给他看,开始还不懂什么事,原来是登帕萨海关经常故意少给你盖章,等你出境的时候就会出问,然后又是一大堆麻烦事,大家都懂了吧?!真是强烈BS!!护照本和出境卡存根上会分别盖章!大家一定要检查清楚。关于巴厘岛出境的问! 一定要妥善保管自己的出境卡存根,出境时要交给海关的。向日葵色板官方出境时就看见有老外弄掉了存根,然后就开始和海关漫长的纠结…… 还有一定要准备好每人150000印尼盾的现金,是出境费用,一定要是印尼盾现金!不然到时候在机场换汇汇率很糟糕! 出机场后,向日葵色板官方就看到了接机的老陈,和向日葵色板官方的司机gede~~~很幸运的是,未来几天的包车行程中我们都不需要更换司机,会一直由gede为向日葵色板官方服务!!!在几天的游览中,我们也和他建立了不错的感情,大家相处非常愉快! 9月4日下午1630,司机gede大叔带向日葵色板官方来到了乌布。 刚去了首尔自由行回来,初到巴厘岛,我承认我确实被shock到了!街道破旧而狭小,交通一片混乱,满街乱窜的摩托车,这是传说中的天堂吗?! 不过各国国情不同,很快也就适应了! 向日葵色板官方入住的第一个酒店在乌布,名叫pertiwi resort & spa。是一家鲜有人提及的酒店。但是入住后向日葵色板官方感觉真的非常好!就像置身在一个热带雨林花园中,每一步都是景色,光是光酒店都能走上好一阵!一到这里,LG就说,度假的感觉来啦! 由于向日葵色板官方到的晚~~~享受到了第一个福利,upgrade!房型被升级了。后来才发现,房间升级一般都是你订的房型已经被住完了,所以想升级的话,晚到酒店才大有希望哦!而且到了酒店后,不妨向前台多问一句是否可以升级,说不定会有意外惊喜!这就是peitiwi酒店的门牌。 小小的非常低调。 在巴厘,即时是超级奢华的酒店,门牌、大门什么的也都很小巧、低调~~~这是酒店的大厅。 呵呵,真心低调的有木有,但很有巴厘岛的味道!巴厘岛的各种石雕都让人爱到不行 爱死了这样的配色,非常有巴厘岛的感觉! 向日葵色板官方是9月4日-13日待在巴厘岛的,好像刚好遇到了学生开学后的一个小淡季,整个行程中住了6个酒店,都没有什么人,除了热门景点海神庙和百度库遇到了大批游客,其余时间大多都是向日葵色板官方两个自己玩。全程10天也只碰到3对中国夫妇(情侣)。这种自由行的感觉,真的很棒!就拿我们入住的第一个酒店pertiwi来说,入住的那两天,整个酒店就向日葵色板官方两个中国人,连亚洲面孔都没有碰到。酒店本身就像一个花园一样……如果有时间,一定要两个人坐在这里静谧地享受时光老公到了这样的环境中,一下子就放松下来,像个孩子,玩得非常开心!!!当然,在热带雨林中,我也很开心哟学一学这个石雕的动作!!! 下午1600,ratu spa的接送车准时来酒店大堂接我们。 ratu spa在乌布很有名,"ratu"在印尼语中是“女王”的意思,做这样的spa是指女王般的享受吗?ratu spa建在稻田边,房间窗外就能看到稻田,别有一番风味。 PS:ratu spa是出发前就在代理那里定好了,代理已经帮向日葵色板官方预订了接送的时间。所以它会直接在酒店等向日葵色板官方。到了做spa那里,自己只需要选择一下精油就可以了。房间内部结构,古香古色的巴里岛风情。选精油的瓶子很可爱!spa结束后还可以在右上那幅图中的三角浴缸里泡花瓣浴+品尝姜茶! 9月4日晚1900左右,做完ratu spa后,向日葵色板官方在wayan咖啡馆享用了到达巴厘岛的第一顿晚餐。 按照攻略点了一份印尼综合饭,店家推荐了一份沙爹鸡肉串饭,两杯西瓜汁和一份网络大热的死神蛋糕(death cake with chocolate)。合计人民币120元。由于还是处于单反无电状态,所以只有用手机拍拍食物,没办法拍出用餐环境。这个餐厅很有乌布味道,小桥流水、植物茂密,各种凉亭设置在花草树木间,静谧和谐。 巴厘岛的所有果汁都是鲜榨的。你点完后甚至会听到榨果汁的声音,让你感觉特别原汁原味。向日葵色板官方去巴厘的时期已经错过了当地水果最好的时节(5月-8月),所以酷爱水果的我俩没能一饱口福,可选择面非常少,芒果已经下市了,基本只能选择西瓜、橙汁、柠檬汁、百香果、混合果汁……所以在巴厘的10天里,西瓜汁成为我俩的大爱!(无论是餐厅还是小店,果汁都是折合人民币15-20元左右一杯)餐桌上很巴厘岛风味的小摆件~~~印尼综合炒饭旁边的配菜很丰盛 味道也还不错哦沙爹肉串饭~~~ 这种沙爹肉串是我在巴厘岛期间相对来说比较喜欢的食物,有点烧烤味,偏甜 但这份饭性价比不如综合炒饭高呢,综合烧饭的配菜丰富很多(
洛阳,一座有着5000多年文明史、4000年的建城史和1500多年的建都史的古城,是华夏文明的发源地和中华民族的发祥地之一。而洛阳又因牡丹闻名于世,被世人誉为“千年帝都,牡丹花城”。在牡丹花盛开的日子里,我独行洛阳,去造访这座千年都城并欣赏我国著名的国花。4月10日晚,乘坐K419次列车,经过6个半小时的车程,与次日清晨558,我到达了洛阳。按照事先做好的功课,车到洛阳站后,出站后直接去公交站台乘坐801公交,上车直达龙门石窟。 龙门石窟位于洛阳市南郊龙门峡谷东西两崖的峭壁间。因为这里东、西两山对峙,伊水从中流过,看上去宛若门厥,所以又被称为“伊厥”,唐代以后,多称其为“龙门”。 这里地处交通要冲,山清水秀,气候宜人,是文人墨客的观游胜地。又因为龙门石窟所在的岩体石质优良,宜于雕刻,所以古人选择此处开凿石窟。 龙门石窟是中国石刻艺术宝库之一,国家AAAAA级景区。2000年被联合国科教文组织列为世界文化遗产。 两山之间的伊水让洛阳这座古城尽显了灵秀之气。 龙门石窟位是中国石刻艺术宝库之一,世界文化遗产、是中国四大石窟之一。龙门石窟与甘肃敦煌莫高窟、山西大同云冈石窟并称为“中国三大石刻艺术宝库”。 石窟始凿于北魏孝文帝时(公元471~477年),历经400余年才建成,迄今已有1500年的历史,龙门石窟南北长约1公里,现存石窟1300多个,窟龛2345个,记和碑刻3600余品,佛塔50余座,佛像97000余尊。 最大的佛像高达17.14米,最小的仅有2厘米。其中以宾阳中洞、奉先寺和古阳洞最具有代表性。 宾阳中洞是北魏时期(公元386~512年)的代表性作品。这个洞窟前后用了24年才建成,是开凿时间最长的一个洞窟。洞内有11尊大佛像。主像释迦牟尼像,面部清秀,神情自然,堪称北魏中期石雕艺术的杰作。主像座前刻有两只姿态雄健的石狮。左右侍立二弟子,二菩萨,菩萨像含笑凝眸,温柔敦厚。洞中还雕刻着众菩萨,弟子听法的浮雕像,栩栩如生。窟顶飞天仙子的刻画也十分传神。 宾阳中洞是北魏时期代表性的洞窟。“宾阳”意为迎接出生的太阳。宾阳三洞开凿于北魏时期,是北魏的宣武帝为他父亲孝文帝做功德而建。它开工于公元500年,历时24年,用工达80万2366个,后因为发生宫廷政变以及主持人刘腾病故等原因,计划中的三所洞窟(宾阳中洞、南洞、北洞)仅完成了一所即宾阳中洞,南洞和北洞都是到初唐才完成了主要造像。宾阳中洞内为马蹄形平面,穹窿顶,中央雕刻重瓣大莲花构成的莲花宝盖,莲花周围是八个伎乐天和两个供养天人。它们衣带飘扬,迎风翱翔在莲花宝盖周围,姿态优美动人。洞内为三世佛材,即过去、现在、未来三世佛。主佛为释迦牟尼。他是佛教的创始人,原名叫乔达摩·悉达多,原是古印度净饭王的儿子。他和中国的孔子生活在同一时代,比孔子要年长12岁。他在29岁时出家修行,经过六年,悟道成佛,创立了佛教。由于北魏时期崇尚以瘦为美,所以主佛释迦牟尼面颊清瘦,脖颈细长,体态修长。衣纹密集,雕刻手法采用的是北魏的平直刀法。由于北魏孝文帝迁都洛阳后实行了一系列的汉化政策,所以洞中主佛的服饰一改云冈石窟佛像那种偏袒右肩式袈裟,而身着宽袍大袖袈裟。释迦牟尼所有侍立二弟子、二菩萨。二菩萨含睇若笑,文雅敦厚。左右壁还各有造像一铺,都是一佛、二菩萨,着褒衣博带袈裟,立于覆莲座上。洞中前壁南北两侧,自上而下有四层精美的浮雕。第一层是以《维摩诘经》故事为材的浮雕,叫做“维摩变”。第二层是两则佛本生故事。第三层为著名的帝后礼佛图。第四层为“十神王”浮雕像。特别是位于第三层的帝后礼佛图,它们反映了宫廷的佛事活动,刻划出了佛教徒虔诚、严肃、宁静的心境,造型准确,制作精美,代表了当时生活风俗画的高度发展水平,具有重要的艺术价值和历史价值。非常可惜的是,在上个世纪的三、四十年代被盗往国外了,现在分别陈列在美国纽约大都会博物馆和美国堪萨斯州纳尔逊艺术博物馆。 “剪刀手”卖萌佛祖在宾阳中洞石窟,有一尊历经千年风霜的佛像,手势神似“剪刀手”。剪刀手佛像是在向游人卖萌,在提醒大家保护文物,还是想说点什么?有网友评论:四百年前的艺术大师们好有远见,知道在四百年后剪刀手肯定会风靡全球。 《伊阙佛龛之碑》亦称"褚遂良碑"。篆额《伊阙佛龛之碑》。贞观十五年(公元641年)刻于河南省洛阳龙门石窟壁宾阳洞内。 这里因伊水东西两岸之香山和龙门山对峙如天然门阙,故古称“伊阙”,隋唐以后,习称龙门。《伊阙佛龛之碑》通高约5.00米、宽1.90米。由中书侍郎岑文本撰文,谏议大夫褚遂良书。字共三十二行,满行五十一字。计一千六百余字。碑文主要记述唐太宗第四子魏王李泰为其母文德皇后长孙氏死后做功德而开凿,太宗末年李泰与太子李承乾争夺太子位,李泰借为母亲开窟造像做功德,实有获得太宗好感,为自已捞取政治资本的目的。这通碑原应为北魏所雕的宾阳中洞的造窟碑,到了唐代李泰为节省费用,竟就势磨去原有碑文,又重新雕刻成唐碑的。 关于该碑的记载,始见于宋嘉祐六年(公元1061年)欧阳修之《集古录》及赵明诚之《金石录》。《伊阙佛龛之碑》是早期传世褚书的代表作。为目前国内所见褚遂良楷书之最大者,字体清秀端庄,宽博古质,是准的初唐楷书。此碑虽说是碑,实际上却是摩崖刻石。两者功用相同,都是为歌功颂的。但在创作时条件不同,一个是光平如镜,而另一个则是凹凸不平,书写的环境也不会那么优游自在。于是,摩崖书法的特征也就不言而喻。因无法近观与精雕细琢,于是便在气势上极力铺张,字形比碑志大得多,舒卷自如,开张跌宕。正是在这一点上,像汉代的《石门颂》、《郙阁颂》、《西峡颂》,它们气度之开张,韵致之飞扬,自然拙朴,即使是如《礼器碑》、《乙瑛碑》、《史晨碑》等真正的碑志精品也无法比拟,褚遂良的《伊阙佛龛碑》,正是这样一种典型的摩崖书风。传世墨拓以明代何良俊清森阁旧藏明初拓本为最佳,拓工精致、字口如新;比《金石萃编》所载犹多五十余字,曾经清代毕泷、沈志达、费念慈等递藏,现藏北京图书馆。有影印本行世。 魏窟――公元495年魏宗室丘慧成开始在龙门山开凿古阳洞,500--523年魏宣武帝、魏孝明帝连续开凿宾阳洞的北中南三个大石窟,石阳洞和宾阳洞的修建共费人工80万以上,还开凿了药方洞和东魏时开凿的莲花洞等石窟。北朝石窟都在龙门山,古阳洞自慧成至东魏末50多年的营造,表现出列多的中国艺术形式,大佛姿态也由云岗石窟的雄健可畏转变为龙门石窟的温和可亲。以宾阳中洞主佛为代表的佛像,人物面部含着微笑,龙门石窟比云岗石窟表现出更多的中国艺术佛像。龙门石窟还保留有大量的宗教、美术、书法、音乐、服饰、医药、建筑和中外交通等方面的实物史料。因此,它又是一座大型的石刻艺术博物馆。 只可惜龙门石窟遭受的破坏要比云冈石窟大得多,绝大多数佛像都不存在或者是残缺不全的了。 ([]
