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? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
在08奥运年的盛夏,奥运火炬即将传递到丽江的前夕,我们一群网上约好的驴伴,通过丽江云行户外俱乐部的组织共同来到了向往已久的丽江古城,开始为期半个月的彩云之南的自助游旅行,当我第一天踏上丽江古城,就被这具有悠久历史和灿烂的民族文化丽江古城所吸引。白墙青瓦的明清建筑,小桥流水的高原水乡,浓郁民族特色的纳西族风情,如同油画般湛蓝色的天空,都令向日葵色板官方如流年忘返,在都市钢筋水泥森林中呆惯了的向日葵色板官方,见到如此美,仿佛来到了另一个时空,来到了真正的世外桃源。在丽江时间的仿佛是静止的,可以不必想那些繁杂的工作,不必被紧张的生活节奏压得喘不过气来, 在这里可以晒晒太阳,喝喝茶,真正的享受宁静、古朴、舒适的生活。这是我见到的最大片的古城建筑,让我觉得很震憾,感叹丽江古城名不虚传!大片大片的明清时期的古建筑,仿佛自遥远时空而来,错入今日古城。丽江古城据说有七百多年的历史了,但在很早以前默默无闻,无人知晓,使丽江古城出名的是在九六年发生的次大地震,这次地震虽然摧毁了这座古城部人的家园,但让世人从此知道了丽江,也因祸得福,成就了丽江古城成为世界文化遗产。这是***词的:世界文化遗产—丽江古城在古城的任意位置,都可以看到高耸入云的玉龙雪山!这是进入古城的帜—大水车。很多人知道古城都有是从大水车开始的,最早我也是看到宣传丽江古城第一张图片就是大水车,这次亲眼见到,就迫不及待的拍了下来。大水车是古城的入口,进入古城的水流也是从这里进入古城的,古城很大,错综复杂,但据说掌握一个简单规律就不会迷路:顺水进城,逆水出城。看到流进古城的水推动巨大的水车,就明白了这句话的意思。丽江古城没有城墙,也没有对称的中轴线,街道的走向更是没有规律可寻,初到古城的人,感觉哪里都一样,如同一个巨大的迷宫,一会就找不到方向了。不过据经验的驴友说,古城的中心是四方街,只要找到了四方街,就基本能确定方位了。这是清晨的四方街,我之前一直以为是条长长的街,原来不是,四方街只是一个小小的方场,在很久以前这里曾是古城的集贸市场,现在也是古城最热闹的地方。清晨的四方街,游客稀少,比较适合拍照。到了中午四方街就开始热闹起来,穿着民族服装的纳西老太太,自发的组织起在四方街跳传统的舞蹈,吸引众多游客驻足观看,一些游人忍不住参予其中,手拉手与她们一起欢快的跳起来在丽江每天可见湛蓝的天空,如同水洗过一样,这是在城市所见不到的,就算是有点蓝天,也是带着灰蒙蒙。 圣洁的玉龙雪山,位于古城的北面,是丽江纳西族的神山,终年积雪。蓝蓝的天,洁白的云朵,幽静的古城、清澈的溪流,新鲜纯净的空气,多么理想的人居环境,看来这里才是最适合于人类居住的地方。向日葵色板官方的都市,环境破坏严重,空气污浊,高得离谱的房价,与这里比起来,更本不是什么高质量的生活,看来我迟早有一天会要逃离城市。挂满红灯笼的酒吧一条街是古城的另一大特色,很早以前就听说丽江是艳遇之城,酒吧估计就是滋生艳遇的重要场所吧。不过这里的泡吧、艳遇呀都与小女子无关,我是冲着丽江古城的人文风情来的,我更看重这里的自然之美,白天的酒吧一条街,基本上没有什么人,显得很清幽!从大水车来的水流把酒吧一条街一分为二,中间用小木桥连接起来,水渠傍种着各种花草以及翠绿的柳树。酒吧一条街大约有十几家大大小小的酒吧,每个酒吧的名字都有一翻来历。]这是古城最早的酒吧—樱花屋,据说也是艳遇指数最高的酒吧,没试过,不清楚!这个是“一米阳光”,我就是从孙俪主演的这部电视剧,第一次知道有丽江这么美的地方!“千里走单骑”这是大导演老谋子在丽江拍的一部由高仓健主演的电影,看来这里酒吧的老板个个精明,善于借鸡生蛋哦!夜幕降临,在多彩的灯光点缀下,古城的夜景更显妖饶晚上的酒吧一条街成为了古城最热闹的地方,一排排红色的灯笼散发出暧昧、诱惑的光芒,在灯红酒绿之间, 各色红男绿女穿梭其中。震耳欲聋的音乐声,早已打破了这里白天的宁静,创造出歌舞升平的气氛!不过我很厌倦这种嘈杂的感觉,感觉和城市的D厅没什么两样,所以也只在外面看看,没有兴趣进入其中。早早的睡了,也是为了早早的起来,清晨的古城,街上没有一个人,商铺也全都关着门,这才找到了古城的宁静的感觉,古城的街道都是五花石铺砌而成,散发出冷冷的光泽,默默记录的古城历史。古城的建筑全都是土木结构,连成一排,而且都不会超过二层,据说这是为了防震,想起来,丽江古城就是地震才出名的。现在古城据说还有三万多长住人口,不过外来人点的比例也越来越高,原住民是越来越少,所以只能在古城深入才可以见到一些当地人的民居由于旅游开发,当地的原住民把自家的房子租给外来人做旅社或者商铺,自己则拿着高昂的租金到新城去买商品房,住了一辈子木房子的本地人现在更喜欢新城的楼房。如同钱钟书的《围城》里的人一样,城里的人想出去,城外的人想进来。做为初次来丽江的我,也有一种冲动,想找一个古老的小院,留下来,当一回丽江人! 丽江古城是超大,但开发的也很比较商业化,但旅游开发本就是一把双刃剑,如果不开发不宣传,向日葵色板官方又怎能知道有这么美丽的地方,这里一直会贫穷落后下去,不被世人所知。但宣传好的,名气大了,来的游客多了,又破坏掉这里原汁原味的感觉。最明显的开发就是丽江古城的客栈,据说现在有上千家,从几十元到数千元各种档次的都有,满足不同层次人的需求。当然没有这些客栈,向日葵色板官方就只能住新城,不能真真实实的感受古城的魅力,这里可能有人又会抱怨为什么古城里不搞一些酒店方便游客,但客栈多了,古城的原住民都搬到新城去了,这样古城又被外来文化所占据,总之在开发和保护上,向日葵色板官方的政府有太多的事情需要做。在来之前我也做了不少功课,力求找一家性价比高的客栈,我对客房的要求首先是要干净卫生,其次是向日葵视频色板APP官网要好,当然价格也不能太高。毕竟我也是工薪阶层,不是拿公款来腐败的,看了很多家,有些条件真的不错,但价格太高了,都要200-300,还有一些便宜的,但感觉太破旧,出来玩,住的很重要,总不能在这方面虐待自己吧。后来终于选定一家驴友们都推荐的丽江云行丽江户外俱乐部,看了相片,感觉不错,价格也符合自己的心里价位,于是上网联系,客服很热情的回答了我的各种问,第一感觉就是他们很专业,这是他们客栈的院子,据说他们有三家分店,这家是最好的,院子虽然不是很大,但白墙青瓦,飞檐翘角,传统的纳西族民居。充满精致与温馨,有种小家碧玉的感觉!我是从这里查到这家客栈 www.sanjiangclub.com 驴友都评价不错,我发现自己的选择也是明智的!客栈位于一条小巷内,距古城中心四方街也很近,虽然处于中心地带,但这里一点也不嚣闹,非常宁静,很适合我这种喜欢安静的人。房间也不错,温馨浪漫,设施齐全,有液晶电脑和免费电话,符合我需要天天上网和电话与公司保持联系,省了我不少长话费。最有意思的,当我睡觉的时间,居然发现房顶开了天窗,拉开天窗的帘子,可以看到满天的繁星,在城市灰蒙蒙的天空中,连月亮都难得一见,更别说星星的,看来丽江环境确实保持的不错,光看晚上的纯净的星空就知道了。丽江的时间似乎是静止的,在这里一切都过得很慢,没有城市的暄嚣与浮躁,躺在摇椅晒晒太阳也是一种享受,这是我最喜欢坐的摇椅! 这家丽江云行户外俱乐部经常组织驴友结伴出去玩,我选择了一条他们推荐的最经典的一条线路,香格里拉、梅里雪山、雨崩六日游。“香格里拉”一词,是1933年美国小说家詹姆斯·希尔顿(James Hilton)在小说《消失的地平线》中所描绘的一块永恒和平宁静的土地。是个有雪峰峡谷、金碧辉煌且充满神秘色彩的庙宇、被森林环绕着的宁静的湖泊、美丽的大草原及牛羊成群的世外桃源。我去的地方有没有这么美了,但看了他们给我看拍的相片,我决定走这条线路,同行的还有网上约好的一些驴友,不过大部分都是女生,向日葵色板官方这个队女多男少,用他们的话来说,就是美女团,总之向日葵色板官方都对我接下来的行程充满着期待。这是向日葵色板官方行程的第一个景点,好象是香格拉观景台,具体不记得了,不过在这里视野开阔,可以同时见到玉龙和哈巴雪山。右边是香格里拉的哈巴雪山,左边是丽江的玉龙雪山,中间是著名的金山沙,这是哈巴雪山主峰!右边是玉龙,第一次见到这么高的雪山很是激动,不过领队说,当向日葵色板官方见到梅里雪山时,就觉得这不算什么雪山了。观景台下的一座小寺庙,不过我们没有进去烧香,因为向日葵色板官方对香格里拉的松赞林寺更有兴趣离开了观景台,向日葵色板官方来到了著名的长江第一湾,金沙江来到了丽江的石鼓,突然来了一个百多度的急转弯,掉头折向东北,形成罕见的“V”字形大弯,人们称此为“长江第一湾”。 正是因为这个湾改变了长江的流向,成为哺育中华大地的母亲河,可惜相机的广角不够,拍不全,不能完全展示出长江第一湾的波澜壮阔!万里长江,从“世界屋脊”青藏高原奔腾而下,由滇西北进入云南,与澜沧江、怒江一起,一直并肩在横断山脉的高山深谷中穿行,形成举世闻名的三江并流奇观。金沙江是长沙的上游,以江为界这边是丽江区域,对面则是香格里拉区域。感叹云南真是风水宝地,世界奇观在此风云集会,难怪旅游资原如此丰富!金沙经过长沙第一湾后,便流入玉龙和哈巴雪山之间,形成世界最深的峡谷之一虎跳峡! 这是高耸入云的玉龙雪山金沙江如同一条碧绿的飘带穿行在两座海拨高于5000米的雪山之间,江面距离雪山顶峰的垂直落差有3000多米,难怪有世界最深的峡谷之称!从哈巴雪山冰川融化的水形成的瀑布,这条瀑布的水落入虎跳峡,与金沙江融为一体,然后金沙江一直向东流,最后到达上海,汇入东海,看来这条瀑布也是长江的小源头之一了!虎跳峡分为上中下三段,这是虎跳峡的上虎跳,也是平常旅行社到达的地方,江中那块巨石就是虎跳石,据说以前有一只猛虎就是从对面的悬崖跃到这块巨石上,然后跳到对面的岸边,这也是虎跳峡名字的由来。绝大部分游客就在这里欣赏虎跳峡的风彩。但熟不知,更壮观震憾事实上是在中虎跳峡,但出于安全和成本的问,旅行社都不会前往中虎跳峡。还好我选择的是户外俱乐部,可以跟着他们去虎跳峡最壮观的中虎跳。延绵数十公里长的虎跳峡谷从公路上拍到的中虎跳峡谷底这是中虎跳峡的天桥,在峡谷之间横空出世一座桥,从谷底向上看,仿佛在天上。事实上这是一座公路桥,连接峡谷两岸,这样虎跳峡的村民,也可以开车出峡谷了,更多的生活物资也可以通过公路运进虎跳峡!中虎跳峡的一线天,大自然的鬼斧神工把江两岸悬崖削的几乎垂直于江面,象一扇巨大的石门,迎接金沙江的汹涌的激流!滚滚的长江水,奔腾而下,激流形成的巨大声响,震耳欲聋,响彻整个峡谷!激流撞击在岩石上激起阵阵水雾,飘在脸上,清爽宜人!中虎跳峡谷底的巨石,据说这是第二虎跳峡,不清楚老虎也从这里跳过来过。现在水量较小,石头露出来,如果到了汛期,水量大的可以把整个石头都盖住!波涛汹涌的长江水一直向东流,哺育长江两岸的人民,成为华夏大地的第一大江!徙步中虎跳峡的栈道,栈道是古人在悬崖上凿开的路,约有一米多宽,向日葵色板官方必须小心翼贴着里面走,朝外则是数百米深的悬崖,悬崖的谷底则是虎跳峡急湍的金沙江!虎跳峡最惊险的一段,中虎跳峡的天梯,天梯几乎是垂直的,高约二十多米,没有什么防护措施,还是比较危险的,不过傍边有小路,可以绕道过去,一些有恐高的驴友都不敢爬这个天梯!胆大的驴友都上此天梯,当然这其中也包括我,谁叫我天生喜欢挑战。事实上爬天梯也没那么恐怖,只要不看下面,一口气爬上去,也不觉得有什么!徙步完虎跳峡,向日葵色板官方就开始前住香格里拉,从虎跳峡到香格里拉约有二个多小时的车程,不过路上的风景也不错,这里在公路上拍到的雪山!这是香格里拉的哈巴雪山主峰,海拨:5396米,这座雪山终年积雪,从远看一顶皇冠,在香格里拉有“金子之花”的美称。因为这座雪山的难度较低,每年有很多登山爱好者,来登这座雪山,也是入门级的登顶雪山!向日葵色板官方的车马上就到了梦想中的香格里拉,这是在车上拍到的香格里拉的村庄,领队说现在是香格里拉杜鹃花开得最旺的时候,不久就能到花海了!([]
在美国很多旅行社都可以报团参加豪华邮轮的旅行,价格和时间是成正比的,如果想游览南极,要报30天以上的团,而且有一定的季节限制。我只是单纯的想去南极,就只能冬天去,先到的洛杉矶,报团从圣地亚哥走,两个城市相距不远,乘车大概两个多小时。第一天的下午提前两个多小时登船,大概五点左右搭乘的阿姆斯特丹号邮轮(AMSTERDAM)缓缓驶出太平洋的美国南部城市圣地亚哥(San Diege)港口,从此我开始了42天的海上漂流生活。人们在甲板上、在赌场里、在歌剧院、在泳池中、在图书馆、在球场上、在歌舞厅、在卧仓里-----度过了第一个夜晚。 阿姆斯特丹号驶离了美国的圣地亚哥港口,围着墨西哥西部的加利福尼亚湾,在太平洋水域中一直南行了40个小时后,终于到达了加尼福尼亚半岛的最南端,这里是此次航行的第一个停靠港。此处是一个小镇——Cabo San Lucas(洛斯卡波斯)。根据当地人的介绍,这是一个旅游开发区,此地居住了许多来自美国和加拿大的名人、有钱人,这里的房价自然就十分昂贵了。 北美人把这里视为度假圣地,也是美国太平洋海军娱乐的天堂,真的如同电影里演的一样。随着夜幕的来临,这里的Night Live准时开场,大约凌晨3点钟之后,那些“滥情”于酒吧里的男男女女们,脱下身上本来就很少的衣服,一丝不挂地互相向对方的身上涂抹cream、互相拥抱、相互亲吻~~~~~~~ 沿海的风光还是和加州的不太一样,有一些当地特色,有个名为情人海滩,估计是世界少有的浪漫去处,许多男女一到这里就双双踏浪前往海滩去享受情人海的洗礼------我,没有情人,刚失恋心情比较沉重,也无心那情人间的浪漫,仿佛这里的一切和我无关似得。一个人慢步于小镇里,享受着墨西哥特有的太平洋风情。 来到海港当然少不了海鲜大餐喽,小镇的海鲜餐馆廉物美,一个人15刀可以饱餐一顿。包括大虾、章鱼、螃蟹和各种叫不清名字的贝类等海鲜大餐。这里有好多高级大酒店,每晚的价钱从200到6000美元不等,还有几个很象样的高尔夫球场,据说也是价格不菲。还是加拿大地大,打高尔夫球也便宜。 我临时充当两个中国摄影协会朋友的翻译,去海岛边上拍些照片,每人花5美元乘小船从停靠在码头的那数百艘游艇穿过,十分钟就到了拍摄点,那是一群巨大的礁石,是墨西哥沿太平洋地性风光。这如果在中国又该被开发成婚纱照的拍摄地了。挺专业人事说,如果lucky遇上好光,在这里能拍到不错的图片,但是向日葵色板官方没有那么幸运,没有拍到什么。 下午5点回到邮轮,6点起航,阿姆斯特丹号继续南行。 继续上片。和两位专业摄影人士取景,见识到了他们的专业。当船靠岸的那一刻,心里有种莫名的兴奋,本人晕船,接下来的几十天很难熬。 当船靠岸的那一刻,心里有种莫名的兴奋,本人晕船,接下来的几十天很难熬。 早上7点,邮轮准时停靠在墨西哥的Acapulco港口,这里算是墨西哥的一个大城市了,但看起来很落后,脏脏乱乱的,估计和中国90年代初的一些县城差不多吧。这里没有什么人文景观,游客们多数去参加一些水上运动。下午四点回到船上,5点邮轮起锚继续南行。 早上邮轮又靠上了墨西哥南部的一个乡镇港口Huatulco,这里人少比昨天那个城市好玩,向日葵色板官方一行7人有5人决定租船到附近的海域小鱼村采风。80美元包了一条小船用一天三个人陪游,小船在太平洋上行驶了三个半小时到了向日葵色板官方要去的渔村,一路几十公里向日葵色板官方看到了“飞鱼”,海鸟和许多漂亮的礁石。在渔村美丽的海滩上,向日葵色板官方下海泡了两个小时,在这里的海底可以轻易看到很多各色的海鱼和珊瑚礁。午饭就在渔村的墨西哥一老百姓家里准备的,虽然全是最新鲜的海味,但这些天吃的有点腻味了。下午我们按时返港,下午5点邮轮启航继续向南。回复 平安福 的帖子会慢慢往上加的,照片好多,太懒得整理啦回复 平安福 的帖子您问的那个“飞鱼”,貌似是什么蝙蝠鱼,是Ogcocephalidae的一种吧,据说墨西哥湾盛产这种鱼。 Puerto Chiapas是向日葵色板官方在墨西哥境内的最后一个停靠港,这里因民族特色和玛雅文化而闻名。向日葵色板官方的邮轮是临晨靠岸的,当向日葵色板官方走下旋梯时已经是上午9点了,这里的天气已经让人感到了几分的炎热。今天还是照旧7个人合租一辆车,开出码头管制区大约一个小时,向日葵色板官方首先到了一处玛雅文化遗址,然后就是去这个城市的中心,这里的市容和墨西哥的很多城市相仿,满街的西班牙式建筑,天主教堂,石头马路。只是感觉这里的市民格外能歌善舞,街头舞者随处可见。在市中心的小广场中间还有一个小舞台,老百姓可以尽情地上台一展自已的舞姿。这让我想起了家里大广场,很多人跳的那种健身Disco,嘿嘿!回复 chen201111 的帖子多谢支持,就是摄影技术菜了点,嘿嘿~~ 危地马拉据说是加勒比海比较富裕的国家,西临太平洋,东临加勒比海。时间紧迫,片刻也不敢耽误,赶紧包车离港,无心理睬晕船的不适。 哥斯达黎加,中美洲沿太平洋最富有的国家,哥斯达黎加国土面积不大,人口也只有400万其中有大约5万中国人。向日葵色板官方在这个国家的一日游从早上开始,还是老办法包一辆车去所以能去的地方。 哥斯达黎加说是有火山、热带雨林、首都游览,其实没有什么可玩的地方。最后大家选择了去火山口看活火山,我知道大白天去看那山上冒出的一股股的烟气,其实没有什么意思,但是仅有9个小时的时间,实在没有其它选择,到了火山口果然更加失望,海拔2700多米的山上下着大雨,俯视下面的火山口,是白茫茫一片什么也看不见。大家扫兴而归,最后只好在海边溜达了一会,5点钟回船。巴拿马,277万人口,华人约占5%。今天已经是第八天了,早晨邮轮抵达巴拿马,巴拿马城在海平面的尽头升起,早晨天气不是太好,但是仍有一缕缕阳光时而洒落向巴拿马城的高楼大厦,在巴拿马城外的太平洋海域里停满了抛锚等待的大小船只,估计这些都是等待时间越过巴拿马运河进入加勒比海的船。向日葵色板官方的邮轮不去加勒比海,所以就在里巴拿马城不远的海边抛锚,上午9点向日葵色板官方登上救生艇离开邮轮,来到了巴拿马城。向日葵色板官方先到了一个当地的公园,当地华人叫这里“小巴拿马”,这里保留着西班牙人到来之后的最初的西人建筑,包括当年的邮局、小教堂。这处建筑群的旁边有几间树叶搭建的茅草屋,说这是当地土著人的房子,据说在这个国家的东北部,至今还有不少土著人居住在这样的房子里,他们几乎不穿衣服仍然过着十分原始的生活。当地华人朋友告诉向日葵色板官方,这个国家比较腐败很多事没有什么原则,往往有钱就能办通许多事,向日葵色板官方的车在一处作临时停靠,警察过来说这里不可以停车,当地的那位车主告诉我,其实如果给这个警察几块钱,就可以停了。巴拿马的社会治安不是太好,有些地区游客最好不要进入。巴拿马运河的通过费用是这个国家财政收入的重要来源,巴拿马政府收回运河管理权之后,巴拿马的城市建设和国力的发展都有了明显的提高。据说巴拿马没有自已的货币,全部使用美元,一位华人朋友跟我说,巴拿马和美国的关系很好,就象美国的儿子,只要这个国家的总统说一声,美国的军队在几小时内就可以开到巴拿马。巴拿马城的夜生活是闻名于世的,但是这个城市很乱,再加上下雨向日葵色板官方没有在这里耽搁太久,下午在暴雨中我们参观了巴拿马运河之后就回船了。 这里的天气很闷热。巴拿马运河位于美洲大陆中部,纵贯巴拿马地峡,是一条沟通太平洋和大西洋的船闸式运河。运河全长81.3公里,最窄处为152米,最宽处为304米。从运河中线分别向两侧延伸16.09公里所包括的地带,为巴拿马运河区,总面积为1432平方公里。 根据《巴拿马运河条约》,美国以一次付给1000万美元、9年后每年再付租金25万美元的代价,从而取得开凿运河和“永久使用、占领和控制”运河和运河区的权利。回复 小囡子刘满 的帖子一个人出行或许会觉得孤单些,但所到之处的美景会带来不一样的心情,不过还是喜欢多些人玩,嘿嘿回复 头线 的帖子玩了42天,机票、邮轮加旅行过程中一些乱七八糟的开销总共一万美金,一般能到南极洲,这个价钱还挺划算的,行程不要赶到圣诞节,不然会多出很多开销。一年的9月份到来年的3月份都有这种30天以上的团,可以多玩几个国家。回复 公园赛道之王 的帖子算是奖励自己的毕业旅行,最后一次长假期,嘿嘿。回复 也夜笙歌 的帖子这是42天的团,机票、邮轮加旅行过程中一些乱七八糟的开销总共一万美金。我是在这个网站订的航线https//www.cruise.com/(不是做广告啊),一般9月份以后才有好的团,现在不是季节。这是从美国出发的团,首先得有美国证,看你报什么团,去哪些国家,是否需要证,是在报团的时候问清楚。其实坐邮轮玩,每到一个地方停留的时间有限,出了指定的活动范围,每个国家的政策也不一样,但基本上都可以落地。回复

一路向南航行了三天,大家在船上的生活也挺丰富,我在图书馆借阅了斯蒂芬妮·梅尔的《暮光之城》,当时这个故事还没有搬上大屏幕,似乎还是当年的禁书,平日里就喜欢看吸血鬼的故事,爱不释手了三天,中间也忘了晕船的事,嘿嘿。凌晨到达了厄瓜多尔,这个国家原本属于哥伦比亚,后来被独立,光看两个国家的国旗就很相似,只是多了只鹰。这个国家是著名的“赤道之国”,国土面积被赤道分为两部分,虽然接近赤道,但由于地处高原,气候还是比较凉爽的。首府基多原本主要为基维多部族人居住,曾被称为“基维多”,后被西班牙殖民者简化为“基多”。在基多城北24公里、海拔2400米高山上的赤道0°所在地矗立着一座赤道纪念碑。这座赤道纪念碑高30米,碑身为方柱形花岗石,四周镌刻着曾到此进行科学考察的科学家的名字。来这里参观的游客们都喜欢在石阶上,两脚平踏在白线两边,摄影留念,以显示自己是脚踏两半球的人。并且到这里游览的人们还可以得到管理部门发的一张证明书,证明其某年某月某日曾到南北半球的分界线一游。我和几个游客在赤道分界线玩起了竖钉子的游戏,由于地球南北极磁场的互相吸引,在赤道线上可以竖起很尖细的东西。据同行的朋友介绍,这个国家好玩的地方很多,而且有丰富的美食还很便宜。生活成本低且气温宜人让这个国家曾称为“全球最佳养老地”。有机会希望可以深度游玩。

西沙群岛,那片遥远的海疆,从儿时的电影、课文中就出现的美丽海域,终于成为了眼前触手可及的美景。经历了往返近48个小时的骇浪颠簸、晕船呕吐,当我庆幸终于离开不停摇动的甲板,踏上陆地时,却发现自己竟然不适应在陆地上行走,深一脚浅一脚,仿佛还停留在船上的状态。西沙群岛所有的美景、淳朴的渔民,都让我如此陶醉,如此留恋!这次的旅行非同寻常,刻骨铭心,醉生梦死,西沙的一切都让我中毒太深,据说解药藏在西沙的那些海岛上,看来,西沙还得再去一次,再去一次啊!像往常一样,从这个叫做北京的地方飞向美丽的海南岛,这次与以往任何一次旅行都不一样,将要乘坐一种叫做船的家伙出海,听说还是木制的渔船,兴奋、开心、好奇、纠结、忐忑,等等一并袭来,组成了一支出发进行曲,在沐浴着晨光的心间来回荡漾。南航的A380,传说中的巨无霸,绝对比麦当劳里的那个有型,身披金光,霸气十足!可惜了,这不是飞海南的,我乘坐的A330,比起这个家伙,寒酸啊!登机就睡觉,惯例!眼睛一闭、一睁,还是在天上,再一闭、一睁,海南岛到了!4月的海口已然湿热无比,吹着微微的海风,晃晃悠悠来到了市区。05年至今来过海南五六趟,海口几乎没有任何变化,交通依然混乱不堪,只是原来满大街的摩托车变成了清一色的电瓶车,在大街小巷横冲直闯,真是佩服海南人的车技和耐心!吃,旅行的一个永恒主!文昌鸡、东山羊、加积鸭、和乐蟹号称海南四大美食,均已尝遍。海口街头巷口那些本地人光顾的大排档才是真正的美食聚集地,简单挑几张这次吃过的东东,出海之前吃饱喝足,到时候晕船呕吐才有体力啊!正,正,扯了半天都跑,出海的时刻即将到来!夜色中的港口一片祥和,殊不知再过1个时辰,待到风高月夜之时,我等将随船潜入夜,悄悄向西沙海域进发!深夜23时左右,船只出发了,如果一切顺利,将在24个小时后抵达西沙海域。几乎在所有的影像或文字资料中,海都是唯美和浪漫的代名词。然而当渔船驶出港口,理想和现实的差距渐渐拉开。船长说这次我比较幸运,海况还算不错,寒流刚结束,台风季节还没到,所以没有大的风浪。尽管如此,半夜在深海,浪也达到了1米多高,躺在船顶的甲板上,来回晃悠。夜深时,呼啸的海风夹杂在孤单的马达轰鸣声中,听起来格外恐怖。海浪一声声打在甲板、船身,偶尔还夹杂着雨点飘来,机房也飘来是刺鼻柴油味严重刺激了我的神经,在支离破碎的梦境中晃悠到天明。晕船,是必须的,出发前为晕船做了充分准备,买了晕船药和晕船贴,不过为了体验晕船的奇妙感受,这些东西都没用上。天将明,海浪依然不减,干脆起床站到船头甲板去吹海风,看海上日出。驾驶舱位于船只顶部,摇晃也最厉害。而机舱工作人员常年要在震耳欲聋的噪音中工作。一下到底舱,各种机器一同工作产生的震耳欲聋的噪音迎面袭来,船上无时无刻不在的噪音原来是从这儿发出的。几十吨的渔船在大海中,如同一粒尘埃,严重的颠簸摧残着我,船体有时候倾斜近20°,晕得厉害,没撤,日出是看不下去了,爬回甲板继续平躺,船工说,即使在海上工作了几十年的老船员有时候也会晕船。同行的哥们问:“晕吗?”答:“晕!”又问:“想吐吗?”答:“想,可我舍不得,昨儿吃的,鲍鱼!”船工过来喊我去下层船舱吃饭,挣扎着爬到船舱里,一股刺鼻的柴油味袭来,连滚带爬又回到了上层甲板,脑袋伸向大海,眩晕加反胃,开吐。吐完靠着船舷坐在甲板上,舒服多了,当时心里就想,回程也是同样的航程,我靠,没法活了。船长说:晕船是避免不了的,吃了东西,吐了,那就再吃……在轰鸣的马达和颠簸中度过一个白天,晕乎乎的躺在甲板上,船上的生活可想而知很枯燥。大海上一切信号都消失,不能上网,手机也只能当做闹钟用。心里琢磨,从来没有过的体验,连续躺着超过20多个小时,突然又想到还有回程,瞬间心里那个凌乱啊!天色暗下来,远处海平线上隐约露出了一个灯塔,啊,是北礁!激动的差点内牛满面。过了北礁,到西沙就只剩下不到5个小时的航程了,亲,你们能体验兄弟我此刻的心情么!继续平躺,船体从灯塔旁悄然驶过。航灯塔,在儿时的印象中,就是一位老人孤独地坚守在塔顶,日复一日为过往的船只指引前行的航路。从内陆前往南中国海,第一站是北礁灯塔,这个灯塔作用十分重大,过往船只都要通过它来核对航海参数。塔高23米,顶灯射程能够达到15海里。远航过的人都能理解,在黑夜中的大海上,远方的灯塔就像家一样温暖。从日出到日落,又一天过去了,西沙越来越近!在大海上,无风三尺浪,看似平静的海面,船体还是来回摇晃。在白天的航行中,偶遇了海豚,共三只,远远地露出灰色的背鳍,突然跃出海面,优美的划出一道弧线,落水后便消失了!日落的过程无法用语言去形容,绚丽的色彩用任何镜头都难以表达。黑夜又将来临,从出发到现在,已经过了23个小时,西沙海域,向日葵色板官方终于抵达了!天黑了,无法登陆附近的岛屿,船长说明天早上涨潮后再登岛,今晚继续在船上打发时光。整整睡了近24个小时,现在精神亢奋,钓鱼是船上最普遍的娱乐活动。船工打开船头的照明灯,大伙开始钓鱼,各种钓具齐出动。有用杆的,有用卷筒的,有的直接攥着一根鱼线,都能钓上鱼。钓到的都是些稀奇古怪的鱼,生活在内地的向日葵色板官方基本上叫不出这些鱼的名字。不到一个小时的功夫,已经钓上来几十条鱼,生鱼片敞开供应,渔获在甲板上直接加工,很美味,像嫩牛肉一样,入口即化。太阳再次升起,美丽的西沙映入眼帘,海面深邃幽蓝,太阳从海中慢慢升起,一会金色的阳光遍铺满海面,海水也变成了碧绿色。银屿岛,抵达西沙后见到的第一个岛屿,远远看去就像一道美丽的金黄色线条。这个礁石岛面积只有0.01平方公里,海拔不足两米,随着涨潮,面积将变得更小。岛上有几座渔民的棚屋,有些渔民常年驻守在这里进行捕捞作业。今天我将登陆这个岛屿,在岛上浮潜、露营!这些位于大海中的珊瑚岛,四周水很浅,向日葵色板官方的渔船无法靠近,只能远远的停泊在深海区域,依靠渔民的小船往返接送。这种小船配备一个小马达,最大承载量6-8人。渔民站在船上疾驶的造型太酷了,可惜向日葵色板官方没有这个平衡能力。来西沙很仓促,几乎没有时间去整理装备,胡乱装了一大包就来了。从小船上直接跳进海里,双脚浸入海水的那一瞬间,海水暖暖的,心都快化了。由于西沙群岛没有对外开放,再加之其地理位置远离陆地,所以它的生态环境得以有效的保护,真正体验到了清澈见底、碧波浩渺的传说场景。无数次看到马尔代夫、大溪地等著名海滩的图片,也无数次憧憬,来到西沙后,一切憧憬都是神马浮云,惊叹、激动、恍惚……长期以来由于环境恶化、过度捕捞,国内很多渔场已面临无鱼可捞,海南也不例外,近海的渔业资源也近乎枯竭。对于祖祖辈辈把大海当做粮仓的渔民来说,面前就只有一条路:去更远的海。西沙的很多岛屿上都有常年驻守的渔民,每个岛多则数十人,少则3、4人。他们每次出海驻岛作业少则3、4个月,多则半年、一年,甚至更长。在这与世隔绝、杳无音讯的海岛上,白天与大海作伴,夜晚与星月相依,日出而作日入而息,简单、枯燥、寂寞,日复一日,年复一年。捕捞上来的螺、鱼、贝等分类存放在这样的塑料框里,泡在海水中养殖,不定期就会有大型的渔船来西沙收购,纯天然无污染。面对这样的大海,没有理由拒绝,不管你是否会游泳,都要跳进她的拥抱,与之嬉戏!面对这样的大海,端着相机的双手都在颤抖,处处是美景,都不知从何处下手了。同行的有两个哥们带了哈苏和大义617胶片机来创作,我只能借机摆个POSS。碧绿的海水蔚蓝的天空让你无法控制自己身体对它的亲近,这里是绝佳的浮潜天堂。一个猛子扎下海去,很多海洋的动植物立刻将你拥抱,那些可爱的热带鱼偶尔会调皮地“摩擦和戏弄”你一下,冷不丁也会窜出一条长达1米的不知名海鱼从身边缓缓游过,擦肩而过时还痞痞的斜眼藐你。所谓的海螺、贝壳、珊瑚之类的暂且放下,还有更多的东西诱惑着你,鲍鱼、八爪鱼、海胆、海参、石斑鱼等等,知道名字和不知道名字的,以前看过的还是从未谋面的,数不胜数,都等着你去零距离地亲密接触。水下拍摄,第一次尝试,借来同行哥们的佳能D10水下相机,尽情拍个够。水下相机的色彩还原效果特别出色,也有用防水袋装着普通单反的,但防水袋的塑料折射率太差,拍出的效果也不太好。第一天登岛后没有太多经验,赤膊上阵,结果强烈的紫外线让我吃尽了苦头,接下来的几天内都是长衣长裤、鞋袜齐全下海,还好保护措施及时补救,才没有晒伤,同行的好几个哥们浑身晒得像煮熟的龙虾,红通通的,两条大腿似乎穿了性感的红丝袜。对于珊瑚,大家并不陌生,除了水族馆,大多见到的都是加工过的珊瑚石,这里的海底遍布活珊瑚,一猛子扎到海底,轻轻的拿起一块珊瑚体,软软的,触角还在蠕动,拍张照,再缓缓将它们送回海底。这里的海水透明度高达几十米,岛屿周边因为有浅滩,海滩延伸出去50多米,水深大多是齐腰或齐胸。一个人静静的浮潜在这里,大海、鱼儿、珊瑚等做伴,时间和思维都停止了,爬在水面上发呆,体验从未有过的感觉。聊天、唠嗑、摆龙门阵……没有酒水饮料、没有零食小吃,大家就这样坐在珊瑚礁上,泡在海水中,一个下午的时光就这样悠闲的度过了!既然是中国的领土,必定要有象征主权的界碑,西沙每一个露出海面的岛屿上均有边防等单位设立的警示碑。风吹日晒,很多碑上的涂料均已褪色,在附近找到烧过木灰,涂抹上,才显示出那些碑刻上的国徽和说明文字。岛上没有任何接待条件,除了孤零零的几座渔民的木棚,扎营是最佳方案,超级海景房啊,面朝大海,春暖花开!傍晚退潮的时候,岛屿一侧从海平面上渐渐露出了一片金黄色的小岛,覆盖整座岛屿的都是细细的珊瑚贝壳的碎砂,如同海市蜃楼般的幻境。傍晚,出海捕鱼的渔民回来了,今天的收成不错,光这条红鱼,就足足20多斤重。海水退潮速度很快,原本潜水才能看到的海底逐渐抬出海平面,变成了成片的礁盘,夕阳映射在礁盘上,散发出炫目的金光。退潮后的海水似乎也平静了许多,浪花拍打礁石的节奏也很轻柔,美,要怎么说出口。一天就这样静静的走向结束,坐在礁盘上,遥望北方,家,就在那里!傍晚,在夕阳悄悄躲进地平线以后,夜空亦非平时所云的点点繁星,那种大小不等、交织相连、层次分明的星云恰似一幅立体的抽象三维图案悬挂在天际。海浪早已退去,海风也平静得恍如催眠。整个空间的色彩也由泛黄、金黄、火红、亮紫、暗红在过度。刚才提到今天出海渔民的渔获不错,除了大红鱼和一堆螺外,还有这些貌不惊人的石斑鱼,石斑在内地市场的身价动辄几百一斤。但,在西沙,从渔民手中购买,低廉的价格仿佛回到解放前。([]
论坛看过北方空地--羌塘帖子后,一直对羌塘有着着魔一般的向往,一直筹划和准备着自己什么时候可以去看看羌塘,机会说来就来了。此次三大无人区穿越是自驾的活动虽然没有杨柳松徒步的艰辛,但是我感受到了羌塘的荒凉和他博大的胸怀,让我见到了各种凄美的景色和各种生活在这片乐园的野生动物(棕熊,狼,狐狸,藏野驴,藏羚羊。。。) ‘’羌塘‘’,藏语意为“北方空地”。羌塘位于西藏自治区的北部,昆仑山,可可西里山以南,冈底斯山和唐古拉山脉以北。由于海拔高度高,生态环境特殊人迹罕见,被人们称之为“无人区”。羌塘无人区平均海拔4700米,地形复杂,地貌奇特,方圆百里荒无人烟。走在高原,很难用言语来表达这里的景色,你只能用心灵感知他的庄严,静穆和深邃,领略大自然赋予他的瞬息万变和亿万年的寂静。 无人区就是海拔平均在4500米--5000多米的荒芜地区因长期高原缺氧不适合人群居住,此次无人区穿越每天夜宿在海拔4500以上,晚上的平均气温在-20°因为高原缺氧和天气寒冷向日葵色板官方所带的气罐基本都被冻上,点燃后只有一点蓝火烧点水都要半小时,水烧开也只是在70°,每天晚上扎营在高海拔地区也是有气喘嘘嘘的小高反状态,晚上进入到帐篷休息也是棉帽甚至连眼睛都要蒙住来保证温度。寒冷的夜晚也会有人值班以防动物来袭击,这次无人区遭遇了棕熊,狼群,狐狸,藏野驴,藏羚羊,野牦牛。。。当受到棕熊和野牦牛攻击向日葵色板官方的时候虽然是在车里,心里还是很害怕。行驶在无人区每天就是不停的陷车和拖车。 点击只看作者就可以直接看图 在拉萨等待队员集结的时候千万色拉寺看喇嘛辩经也是一种欣赏。 色拉寺辩经--出家人学习佛经后,为了加强对佛经的真正的理解,采用一问一答或一问几答的方式交流所学心得和所悟佛法,就如我们的学术讨论。它是喇嘛学习佛经的一个方式。色拉寺后山在色拉寺见到一位非常淳朴的藏族牧民来朝拜,经过沟通同意后才拍了一张照片2013年10月17日早上大部队从拉萨出发前往纳木错调整一晚高反,出发前我在布达拉宫等候车队前往纳木错途中,风吹草低见牛羊,上次来纳木错也看到如此壮丽的景色,没想到这次也能看到,因为珠峰大雪被困好多游客,我在经过纳木错一个海拔5000多垭口还是皑皑白雪。 相传“纳木错是帝释天的女儿,念青唐古拉的妻子“。它们的造像分别为:念青唐古拉--头戴盔甲,右手举着马鞭,左手拿着念珠,骑白马:纳木错--腾云驾雾地骑着飞龙,右手持龙头禅杖,左手拿着佛镜。念青唐古拉山字北方诸神灵中最具权威,它拥有广大无边的北方疆域和丰富的财宝。纳木错的美丽无法用语言来表达,这一生一定要带着自己心爱的女人来一次纳木错到达纳木错,我就扛起相机三脚架来到纳木错湖边,十月的纳木错已经很冷了游客不是很多,纳木错的美丽还是有一部分人在这里流连忘返如此美景你还能不带着心爱的人到此吗([]

从当时在许愿池扔下硬币算起已有6年时间,期间各种事情、各种忙碌,今年做旅行计划的时候,意大利终于进入了向日葵色板官方的攻略中,此外还有跟它接壤的美丽花园瑞士,全部行程17晚19天,其中意大利8晚、瑞士9晚,为了叙述方便,意大利、瑞士行程分2帖分别分享。本来的计划是意大利9晚、瑞士5晚,无奈不靠谱的北京意大利使馆今年对申根白本采取1天只给1个面机会的政策,导致北京意基本成为Mission Impossible!好在可以去瑞士使馆,不过要求在瑞士停留时间最长,于是稍微修改了行程和booking之后,顺利拿下了申根,使馆贴心地给了25天的旅行证,因为离出发还有2个月,机票和意铁也都订到了优惠的价格,考虑在瑞士呆的时间较长,买了8天连续通票(这个全年统一价,没啥优惠了)。一切就绪,只待出发!说意大利(连同梵蒂冈)是神的国度是有原因的,罗马及周边不小的区域在中世纪的相当长一段时间内作为教皇国存在,教皇不但是天主教的领袖,同时也是是作为世俗政权的“国王”,一直到1861年,教皇国的绝大部分领土被并入撒丁王国,即后来的意大利王国。1870年罗马城也被并入意大利,教皇国领土退缩至梵蒂冈。教皇庇护十一世时期,墨索里尼在1929年与教廷枢机主教加斯佩里订拉特兰条约,罗马教廷正式承认教皇国灭亡。所以今天走在罗马街头依然能感受到浓浓的宗教气息,宗教相关的志也是很常见的。 DAY01-法兰克福转机、夜宿罗马一早起来就赶奔首都机场T3航站楼,怕误机提前了3个小时到了机场,2件托运行李将将卡在限重的上限,随后一路顺利的办完通关手续,在国际候机区的必胜客慢悠悠地吃了个早餐,然后来到登机口,发现航班是A380,算是个小惊喜吧,当时在携程抢的特价票,不知道是什么机种,长途飞行还是大飞机比较舒服一点,起码没那么颠簸。这架就是我们要乘的航班。向日葵色板官方是在法兰克福转机到罗马,飞法兰克福将近10个小时,比直飞的13个小时左右还是稍微轻松一些,机上的娱乐设施还是不错的,电影都比较新,足够旅程上看了,整个航程基本就是不断看电影,上饮料、上吃的、上厕所、接着看电影,困了眯一会儿……如此循环,主要看了遗忘战境、After Earth、怪兽大学,然后也就到法兰克福了。 落地后,转机时间只有不到2个小时,还要过一遍安检、入申根的检查,还是挺紧凑的,法兰克福机场设施感觉很一般,有的地方还有异味,路指示也马马虎虎吧,总之在忙忙碌碌的走了很长的距离后,终于办完了所有手续,赶到去罗马的登机口,候机的人群中明显可以看到宗教界人士,一群嬷嬷更是显眼了。飞罗马这班汉莎的广播里有日语,看来意大利是日本人传统的旅游热门地,而且我和老婆也被空乘认成日本人,跟向日葵色板官方用日语打招呼,懒得解释就笑了笑。向日葵色板官方边上坐了一个欧洲大叔,不停地拿着手上的小单反拍这拍那,老哥似乎是个记录控。我掏出攻略先准备一下降落后要办的事情,正在看买机场大巴票时,边上老哥开始跟我聊起来,从大巴票开始,老哥就开始话唠了,用北欧口音的英语聊起他要去的西西里,以及他以前在意大利玩儿过的地方,又聊起他的前女友等等等等,基本上聊着聊着,2小时的飞行就结束了……这老哥叫Gimo(音),是芬兰人,估摸着小50了,依然有文艺青年的情怀,反正我觉得他的心态还是个20岁的人,他一个前女友是意大利人,所以老哥会说一些意大利语,后来老哥在航站楼里问路时候秀了一把他的芬兰式意大利语,貌似还说的不错,本地人都听得懂。落地罗马以后Gimo还是跟向日葵色板官方一路,他也要坐大巴去Termini中央车站,老哥干脆当起了向导,其实向日葵色板官方自己走没问,不过既然他这么热情向日葵色板官方也不好推辞,一边聊一边走。这里也提一下罗马的菲乌米奇诺国际机场,07年来的时候只是觉得设施一般,这次等行李简直可以用痛苦来形容,提取区面积小,设施旧,人多还挺热,很多航班的行李混在一起,转盘上的都是很早之前的行李,转来转去也没人拿,转盘周围挤满了人,个个望眼欲穿。好不容易站到转盘边上,不一会感觉身体被人挤,回头居然是跟我一个航班中的嬷嬷中的一个,基本是最胖的一个,一劲儿挤,为了避免这么不雅的场面,我主动退却了,跑到边上。当我大汗淋漓地挤在行李转盘时,老婆跑去拍一个穿着婚纱到达的的意大利姑娘了,人家还挺配合,主动摆了个Pose。 等了n久终于提到了行李箱,跟着Gimo找到卖机场大巴票的柜台,5欧一张的票还算合理,候车区从大厅走出来路边就是了,这里的环境还真是像国内了,地上烟头不少,还有点脏脏的痕迹。终于呼吸到新鲜空气(不准确,有不少大巴尾气)的Gimo忍不住掏出了烟。 这个角落这是跟国内有一比啊,好在没发现痰,似乎不随地吐痰是老外的底线了。一张合影,不过用超广角镜头把老婆拍胖了…… 从菲乌米契诺机场到中央车站Termini花了将近1个小时,到达Termini时天已经完全黑了,在此跟Gimo要分手了,他和向日葵色板官方定的酒店方向相反,说了一堆感谢的话后,握手分别。因为离定的酒店不是很远,向日葵色板官方决定直接走过去,路过地上坐着黑人的后街时心里还真的有一丝紧张,Termini后面这条街路面不是很平坦,旅行箱的轮子在上面发出挺大的噪音,有时还有上下坡,貌似不远的距离走的向日葵色板官方很疲惫,看看手表已经是当地时间晚上9点40多了(该死的航班延误和超慢的行李提取!),本来计划晚上在酒店附近转转的计划是彻底没戏了,能在10点前感到酒店就阿弥陀佛了。由于订的是B&B,没有24小时的Reception,出发前通过邮件告知了航班号,手机号等信息,但是眼看快10点了,有点担心有没有人等向日葵色板官方,此时lz的手机不知道为什么无法拨通,想给家人报个平安都没成,第二天才好,现在也不知道为什么。离10点还差几分钟时,向日葵色板官方终于看到了酒店的大门,人还没到门口,大门先开了,里面探出一个大胡子光头,向日葵色板官方对视了1秒,老哥先开口了:“Mr. T*** from China?”“Yes。”我这话一出口,老哥深深地输了一口气,一脸如释重负状地招手:“Come in,please。”呵呵,这哥们表情、肢体语言丰富,而且为人极度热情,让客人心生暖意,何况我和老婆还是刚刚经历了将近1天的旅途呢。简单聊了聊,听了这个光头大胡子的Max介绍基本设施和早餐之后,终于可以休息了!这张是临走时拍的,Max绝对是向日葵色板官方此行中遇到的最热情洋溢的店主,大叔灿烂的笑脸让人难以忘怀。 DAY02 古迹大暴走:斗兽场-帕拉迪诺山-古罗马广场-坎皮多里欧广场-图拉真广场-威利斯广场-斗兽场夜景经过一晚的休整,精神终于缓过来了,6点钟开始洗漱,7点20便出发吃早餐。这家B&B的早餐是在街角的一家小Bar供应的,名叫Bar Trani,除了我们俩都是当地人,意大利人的早点很简单,就是站着来杯Espresso,最多再加个点心,比如我们点的蝴蝶酥或者牛角包之类的,老婆要的是橙汁,因为颜色是偏红色的,开始还有疑问,向日葵视频色板APP官网生见我一脸问号又确认了是橙汁。说到这里不得不提门口的一只狗狗,向日葵色板官方在罗马住了4晚,吃了4次早餐,只有最后一天没有碰到这只狗狗,意大利的街边不少地方都有栓狗的地方,狗狗也都很懂事地呆在原地等主人。吃着早餐看着狗,应该是对望吧,也许这里平时游客不多,它有点好奇。 不到8点到达了地铁A线的Emmanuelle二世站,入口很好找,自动售票机选择英语之后非常好看懂,投币,选择票数就OK了,跟国内的自动售票机没啥区别,票价单程的就很合算(除了比全球无敌低的北京地铁票价比高以外)票90分钟内有效,出站就失效了。由于当天是周日,地铁里人很少,轻松愉快地到了Closseo站,出了站迎面就是斗兽场了。说到此处又想到07年万恶的跟团游啊,当时跟着导游也是从这里出站,只给了20分钟照相时间,进斗兽场里面是想也别想,外面照相都紧赶慢赶,顶着头顶的乌云匆匆捏了2张准到此一游照,满是遗憾地走了,电脑里现在还存着那时满脸愁容的旧照,那时就想我迟早还会来一趟,如今实现了。下图是意大利特色涂鸦地铁…… Closseo B口出来就有饮水口,可以直接饮用。罗马及意大利很多地方都提供这样的设施,有的出水口还挺有特点。 Closseo斗兽场是830开放,8点刚过就有几十米的队排在门口了,人虽然不少但很有秩序,连大声说话的都没有,基本上从上了飞机开始生活就进入了低音量模式,后面到了瑞士就更加地明显。买斗兽场(Closseo)+帕拉迪诺山(Palatino)+古罗马广场(Foro Romano)的联票才12欧元,3个景点足足够逛一天的,合不到100人民币,相比之下,国内某些人满为患景点打票价就过于坑爹了!刚开始旅程心情激动,相机头几张都放在M档没调回来,后来发现统统过曝,后期修修算是挽救一下吧。加一张晚上同地点的对比,因为懒得抗三脚架,所以在地铁出口处一个类似配电箱的地方摆拍的,这招以后用到了了不少地方的夜景拍摄,统统没用三脚架,至于构图不理想的,都是回来以后后期剪裁的。拿着票开始游览,票要保存好,后面到帕拉迪诺山和古罗马广场还都要用到。上到二层,里面有个君士坦丁大帝的主展,随便转了转,拍了几张就冲到看台去了。 这个是古罗马时代的马赛克画 斗兽场屹立了2000年,不得不佩服古罗马工程师的伟大,混凝土就是罗马人发明的。讽刺的是对斗兽场破坏最大的不是所谓的野蛮人,而是罗马人自己。据说在中世纪时,斗兽场的石料不断被拆走当做其他建筑的建材。 斗兽场看着很雄伟,不过转来转去基本都差不多,随着时间的推移,进来的游客也是越来越多,想找个人少的地方拍照也越发困难起来。作为世界最著名的旅游圣地之一,罗马常年都是游客如织,旅游旺季就更是如此,好在我们是来自世界人口密度最高的国度,挤过北京上海的地铁,经历过各种人潮人海的洗礼,所以非常适应,何况人家这里秩序还是不错的,基本没见过插队,抢行等行为。 基本上罗马的古迹都会跟天主教发生联系,万神殿就是因为改成教堂早而保留的最好,斗兽场里也有宗教的印记,比如这个大大的十字架和外立面上的识。到过罗马的同志们都知道,真是白天看庙晚上睡觉,在街上逛着逛着就一个教堂,最常见的物件就是十字架、圣母像、天使、教皇的识这类的。不能免俗,照几张留念照吧:) 整个斗兽场有不少零星的残件,动辄1、2千年的年头,历史沧桑感迎面扑来有没有,同是文明古国,我国的很多东西都只存在于史书或者传说中了,“土木”建筑嘛,保存期有限那,没法和爱用石头的古罗马比…… 气势恢宏,尽管已是残骸。 外面逛烦了,又回到建筑里,看展览的游客明显多了起来,主要是模型和一些小的实物,有时间的可以仔细看看,英文介绍还是很详细的。这个模型做的还是不错的,罗马保留的凯旋门还是不少,联票的经典就能看3座,唯一遗憾的是君士坦丁凯旋门在维修+_+,随着旅程的前进,发现很多经典在维修=_=,脚手架成了向日葵色板官方照片中的常客…… 全盛时期的罗马帝国疆域。 出来没多久就被烈日晒脱水了,当天气温高达35度,猛烈的阳光不经遮挡直射下来。撑不住了,只好在黑心的景区摊买了冰饮料,这瓶价格高达4欧的佳得乐真是金贵了,其实同样的东西在罗马超市里才1欧。 晃了2个多小时,和老婆商量后决定去下一站,古罗马权贵的别墅区帕拉迪诺山。维修中的君士坦丁凯旋门…… 回头再看一眼雄伟的建筑 在路上常常能看到骑行的队伍,今天就看到2次,在这样的蓝天和空气质量下尽情运动,对国人来说真是奢侈品…… 沿着君士坦丁凯旋门那条大路,跟着人流很快就到了帕拉迪诺山的入口,这3个景点联票设置的很科学,一个接一个,出口接入口(帕拉迪诺山入口稍微远一点),以前看到有驴友没找到帕拉迪诺山的入口,可能是没好好看地图吧。 进了入口,老婆和我已经累的坐下了,当天35度左右的温度,罗马无污染的空气使阳光显得格外猛烈,没抹防晒的lz夫妇被晒的皮肤发红,感觉这种日照已经赶上马尔代夫的阳光了。 拱形建筑的遗迹 随处可见的意大利特色松树。([]
