前言 从西藏回来已经是第六天了,每晚我静静地守在电脑前,阿里的美景一遍遍从我脑海闪过,我确信自己无法敲出来一个字,我不是作家,不知道该如何来描述这西藏大北线。资料认真查过,相关美文仔细看过,都迥异于我对西藏的理解,该怎样去描述······? 一闭上眼,就仿佛置身于大北线上那种无法形容的辽阔,无法名状的孤寂,那种大美······他们溶进我的血液里,我象喝了酒一样-----醉了! 就像当年一夜之间爱上户外一样,没有什么理由,爱上西藏,是在走过大北线之后,同样也没什么理由,我想那应该是一种心灵的呼唤吧!我属于盲从一族,只有在“从”了之后,才慢慢品出一点点的味道,回味他的香醇。 大北线的路上,我经常受到龙老大的教导,不知天文,不熟地理,中国地图上除了知道山西的图形像个蚕蛹不会搞错外,其他省份一概迷茫的一塌糊涂。每每龙老大给我恶补地理知识的时候就像老道的厨子报菜名一样如数家珍:这是什么什么川,那是什么什么河,终了,我还是一头雾水,他就会恨铁不成钢地戳着我的笨脑壳叹息:你呀你~~!学那点东西,全还给老师了!我也恨不得把龙老大脑子里那些个上知天文下知地理的脑组织抠出来塞进自己的笨脑壳里。我想,我脑子里总不会都是浆糊吧! 几天前,我到过天堂,这一点,我是肯定的······ 7月23日,进藏前综合症 一晚上似睡非睡。530,地球人全在睡觉,我却摸到卫生间里刷完牙,又爬回床上,女儿睡的正酣,丝毫不觉。600,又爬起来,洗脸,再把出行用的东西照单查一遍,确定没有遗漏,回到床上躺着,刚闭上眼,又想起一件事,再溜下床,到阳台上把家里所有的花挨个浇了一遍,这才折回卧室躺倒,一抬眼,老公倚在房门口,满脸疑惑的看着我:你这一大早跟只耗子一样窜来窜去,还让不让别人睡了?不就是去个西藏麽,至于吗?!我懒得和他辩解,翻个身,睁着眼睛,思考着我的西藏之行,毫无睡意。 一上午的时间,我把背包里的东西翻腾了一十八遍,弄得满客厅都是,反反复复问歪躺在沙发上看电视的老公,这个东东用不用带,那个东东能不能派上用场?他有一声没一声,毫无诚意地随意哼着。问也是白问!我恨得牙根痒痒,哪天非休了你不可!1100老公出门买了几袋饺子,正要下锅,我问他啥牌子的,他说是“滚蛋”牌的,吃完滚蛋!我笑喷!滚蛋牌的?明明是“思念”牌的吗! 吃完饺子,时间还早,说好了中午120火车站集合,这时间咋就和停住了一样呢?我在一秒一秒的数着,不过,一想到马上就可以肆意享受十五天的自由生活,我就禁不住心花怒放!好不容易挨到110,开拔!我迫不及待的上包,老公说,快走吧!快走吧!你再不走,我就神经了!! 到了车站,卸下我和我的大背包,老公便迫不及待的毫无留恋的快乐的扬长而去!去享受他十几天没我存在的自由生活-----撂下一句:彻底给点自由,没什么事别打电话啊,贵巴巴的! -------我崩溃! 尽管我的背包减了又减,还是大的惊人,一看到堆在火车站前亲亲儿的兄弟姐妹们,我就知足了,他们都是重装备双包!还长枪短炮挂了满肩。专员来相送,提了个二十斤重的大西瓜,让向日葵色板官方路上解渴,真是万分感谢! 龙老大,上校,大夫,智老师(游侠百合),呆宝宝,郭队,采风,还有送行的阿呆,我,不丁姗姗来迟,屁股后面还跟着送行的胖子,一个都不能少!全到齐了。 呆呆送宝宝,胖子送不丁,送的人儿脸上也见不到一点点恋恋不舍,反而挂着急不可待的笑容,天哪!又是两个重获自由的家伙! 候车室,由于激动过度,在龙老大的英明决定下亲自指挥失误,一干人马还没出太原就侯错了车,差点上了相反方向的车次。下午220太原到北京的D2010次动车开始检票,最怕出门把我丢了,紧紧跟上前面两头驴,跟着跟着,不对呀!咋嘴里叽里咕噜冒出来的是英语呀!抬眼一看,跟错了,是两头美国背包驴!一回头,龙老大和亲亲儿的兄弟姐妹都泰然自若地坐在原地没动窝呢!我这是怎么了?出师不利呀!我觉得还是肾上腺素惹得祸。 在家,愁坏了老公 侯车室里,愁坏了龙老大 动车上,愁坏了不丁! “换坐位!换坐位!上校咱俩换换坐儿行不行?越野反了!还没到西藏就高反了”不丁恳切的求着前排的上校,上校笑笑没搭理她,龙队悠悠的看看腕上的海拔表“现在海拔是-80,是低反。 我兴奋的笑神经不可名状发挥着巨大作用,有一句没一句的说着毫不着调的话,折磨着自己,也折磨着身边每一个人哭笑不得。下午四点多,我终于安静下来迷迷糊糊的睡着了,一睁眼,北京到了。 二丫接站,把向日葵色板官方幸福了个稀里哗啦,嘻嘻!有人给拎包,有人给安排饭饭,此时大夫和智老师像两只蜗牛背着重重的壳赶来汇合,一个目的,为了蹭饭呗!嗯,不错丫!丫不错!-----向日葵色板官方很受用哦,一点也不内疚,向日葵色板官方已经习惯了劫富济贫,习惯了,二丫也习惯被黑色会的老老小小打劫,这是一件很幸福的事业呦。北京西旁不远处的李先生牛肉面吃了个舒坦,吃完幸福坐着聊,店家捧出好茶泡上,喝着!坐等晚上九点,拥别可爱的丫!------坐上火车去拉萨! 北京到拉萨,九张硬卧,三上,三中,三下。不在同一车厢,经过近一个小时的折腾换铺,最终才尘埃落定,六人换到了同一包厢,布丁,郭队,上校在隔过去的包箱。一行九人,我最瘦小,这可是吃了天大的亏!大夫一上车不由分说把我扔上了三楼,还有年龄最小不占优势的不丁,宝宝。我撅着嘴抗议,无效!没想到,在这个无比狭小的空间,我一下就被囚禁了三天•R26;R26;̶6;•• 兴奋了一整天,当晚,在对面三层铺上呆宝宝悉悉索索的鼓捣声中我睡着了,半夜又迷迷糊糊的醒来,发现车停了,已经习惯了列车晃荡荡的摇着睡,真是郁闷!低头问老大,说到了河北高邑了,不管它,接着睡。7月24日,无可奈何的铁路线 大早醒来,窗外一瞄,吓了一跳!硕大的站牌赫然写着----河北高邑,敢情这火车自打停了一步没挪!!问大夫,向日葵色板官方泥石流了!向日葵色板官方还没出河北。车厢里很闷,我的心也很闷226;•8226;•8226;•一整天的时间,走走停停,外面风景很烂,懒得去看。吃饭,睡觉,憋的厉害了就像猴子一样荡下一楼走走,车厢里挪到哪都是挨肩擦背的人。到了晚上,车又哼哼唧唧停在宝鸡,跑去问列车员,是山洪冲垮了铁路桥,正在抢修,这一停就是十几个小时。在滞留的共一十八个小时里,人类绝对不会像低智商的猴子那样上窜下跳,而是自得其乐,扎堆闲聊,打扑克,听教授级的人物讲人生,讲社会学,串门听邻家母女讲成长的故事,反正人们是一刻也没有浪费时间,向日葵色板官方的车厢里也聊的不亦乐乎,爆笑声不断!而且座位特别紧张,你不刻意占座位,就只有把在门口听的份了。7月25日福祸相依,大美就在眼前 龙老大总是戳我的脑门儿时有原因的,说我对山西那块蚕蛹比较熟悉,我还真有点惭愧,准确点说,我是一个方向感差到极点的人,曾经好几次在家门口方圆一公里之内迷路过N回,有一次还电话叫了救援,后被传为笑谈。其实,火车是穿过什么省什么市,什么地区,到达我知道的地名,我是真的一概不知。 上午850,火车到达天水,离兰州不远了,窗外的景色瑞丽悦目起来,渐渐呈现出藏区前的高原地貌,人们纷纷去取相机,大夫从行李架上取了相机下来,踩了下面布丁的脚趾,大夫没道歉,还文绉绉的告诉布丁,你的脚太大了,我帮你修理成三寸金莲。简直没天理了!布丁气的哇哇大叫,让智老师管管她丈夫。 火车两旁大片大片金黄的油菜花,大片大片浪漫紫的薰衣草,大片大片绿色的麦田,大片大片湛蓝的天空,星星点点的马群,偶而红顶白墙的矮屋,在眼前闪过,远处海天一色的青海湖上白白的云朵,形成美丽无比的调色板,激起车厢里这群光影美景的痴迷者一声声惊呼,还有那光线!阳光透过纯净的空气,穿过白云的缝隙流泻在这明快的土地上,影一片,晴一片,景色十分旖旎!随着火车的行进,聚集的内地村落渐渐地消失,到处是散居的红房顶和帐篷,金黄和绿色多起来,牦牛多起来,经幡多起来,第一次亲眼看到经幡,向日葵色板官方和西藏的距离在逐渐缩短,西藏的气息越来越浓,我眼里竟有一点点湿润!别人在忙着咔咔嚓嚓的记录美景,我却望着车窗外发呆。火车上拍的麦田 7月26日 淡定,淡定 早上六点,到达安多,望望窗外,叫起其他人,一下全惊呆了,云和山巅正在瞬息万变着,人们大呼小叫的抢着自己的单反,长焦,广角,一阵骚乱,向日葵色板官方这节车厢全沸腾了,惊得我不知道该干什么了,人们从我身旁挤来撞去,宝宝,智老师,采风,大夫,老大撞得我站不住脚,我只有迅速攀上三楼躲起来,真不知道该怎么形容这群疯子!两个钟头后我才溜下来,一低头看见智老师一只脚趿拉着一只宝宝的拖鞋,另一只光着脚。再看宝宝的脚上,更可笑!一只脚上穿着我的凉鞋,另一只穿的是自己的凉鞋,我左脚上穿的是智老师的另一只拖鞋,右脚根本就找不到鞋穿!哎!全疯了!此时,已到达西藏那曲地区,海拔达到了4500米以上,晚点使向日葵色板官方错过了可可西里,确意外捕捉到了那曲藏北草原大美的晨光和念钦唐古拉雪山,格拉丹东雪峰那雄美身姿!这群疯子一边没命的按着快门儿,老大兴奋的喋喋不休,采风和智老师嘴里还不停地念叨着:淡定!淡定!我真是佩服。向日葵色板官方的这个包厢简直乱得没办法下脚了,布丁和郭队不是过来瞅瞅,然后蹙着眉头抛下一句:这包厢里的女人都是邋遢婆姨!天哪,碍我什么事?!车厢里其余旅客此时正在和高原反应坐着殊死的斗争,我们的人,哈哈!没事̶6;•••226;•如梦如幻 初见拉萨 7月26日 初见拉萨,神秘的情人 经轮每转一圈,就离天堂更近一些,车轮每转一圈,就离拉萨更近一些。在这趟西藏旅游专列运行多年首次晚点达十八个小时之后,向日葵色板官方终于在26日中午1245分踏上了拉萨的土地,揭开了他她神秘的面纱。 走出拉萨车站,天气很好,真正呼吸到了西藏第一口清新稀薄的空气,有点甜甜的,怪怪的,该是酥油的味道,这里离太阳很近,应该还有太阳的味道! 像向日葵色板官方这样的背包客在拉萨人看来不足为奇,拉萨现在是个以旅游为主的城市,各地的游客都在这个季节涌向这里,包括户外爱好者和摄影爱好者,就像后来阿里大北线上的司机小李说的那样,西藏是多数人的梦想,少数人的天堂。站在这块土地上不是每个人都可以看到人间天堂,除了机遇,运气之外,你还需要用你纯净的心灵去打开天堂之门,他才会给你丰厚的回馈! 来藏之前,西藏这个地方对我而言只是个神秘的名词,我向往,但似乎遥不可及,此时此刻,我却幸福的站在了这里,有点云里雾里,感谢大夫和此次相伴出行的兄弟姐妹,大家的坚持才有了我坚定地假期,没有大家的推波助澜,我此刻应该还囚在我的办公室里凭空向往。 在火车站留了影,九个人分到三辆出租直奔市区,此次的义务领队大夫在半个月前已经联系好住处----暮野青年旅社,这是拉萨唯一坐落在拉萨八廓古城核心保护区内的青年旅舍,也就是8264驴友大本营,价格便宜,这是个藏式四合院,房顶挂满了风马旗,这里没有星级服务,但他可以为你提供自已动手,丰衣足食的设施,如自己洗洗衣服,做做饭,自己亲手在人家白白的墙上涂涂鸦,让每一位来到拉萨的驴友有一个可以释放自己的第三空间。几百面来自全国各地户外俱乐部赠送的旗,上面满了一个个主人好朋友们的名字,每一位来到这里的驴友都可以找到自己熟悉的志、熟悉的名字,倍感亲切,暖到心里的阳光、五颜六色的风马旗、满院飘香的菜香和酒香……暮野驴舍是主人喜力独具匠心的杰作, 一个用理想堆积的精神家园;一个绝对理想主义者的家、驴友的家…… 进门一楼拐角处,我看到了山西霞客行户外俱乐部的会旗,出身霞客行户外的向日葵色板官方,倍感亲切。 十一张床的“珠峰大本营”温馨干净的大屋,承揽了向日葵色板官方一路的疲惫, 褪去一身的尘埃,在舒适中小憩一会儿。中午就在暮野顶层的天台餐厅解决了午饭,敞开式的布局,简单、粗放、民族化的装饰,让人心情放松。布丁点的随意,饭菜非常可口,秀色可餐的是居然抬眼看到不远处巍峨伫立的布达拉,这是一种幸福,还是一种感动? 下午休整,不做具体安排,原则:尽量少活动,多睡,预防高反。一连坐了三天的火车,都疲惫了,大家不约而同的选择了睡午觉。出门三天了,我都没上过厕所,不知道是不是属于高反范畴,趁大家睡的香,我溜出驴友之家,到街上逛逛,顺便买药。高反,没有想象中那么严重吗,我轻轻松松逛了江苏路,找到一家药店买了药,返回暮野,整个家园都静悄悄的,我到一楼向日葵视频色板APP官网吧拿了一只字笔,在二楼楼梯拐弯处,信手涂鸦了一番,回屋睡觉! 晚上,仍足不出户解决了晚饭,喝着啤酒,遥看着神秘的布达拉,那种惬意!原本打算和传说中的布达拉又一次非常正式的会见,却没想到在这里和他不期而遇。暮野餐厅遥望布达拉晒晒装备 7月27日 走近布达拉 暮野提供免费早餐,馒头、咸菜、稀饭。义务财务总监(还未正式任命)布丁今天犒赏三军,特嘱咐大厨给每人加一份煎蛋,她自己却吃了人家三个馒头、四碗稀饭、五碟咸菜、外加一听拉丁鱼罐头、一个煎蛋!愁得人家暮野餐厅的小伙只掉眼泪,咋跟人家店主喜力交待呀! 9:30兵分两路,曾经来过拉萨到过布宫的龙队、上校、郭队去参观西藏博物馆,大夫,智老师、布丁、采风、宝宝、还有我六个人去参观布宫。 布达拉一直存在着,从小到大一直听说着,却没怎么做过功课。没有理性的认识,只有感性的理解,我是个靠感觉大于靠理性分析事物的人,绝大多数的时候,我的感性判断非常靠谱。身边的人经常说我是先知,也就是先感再知,等我触摸到他,领悟到他的神韵,我想我会更深的理解布达拉。在这里,我不想对这座宏大建筑的历史沿革、建筑特色、宗教渊源,文化遗产做过多的描述,那大多是网上功课的摘录袭抄,而是以我的感觉为主线,做一次情感随想。 遥看过布达拉,如今站在他的面前,仰望这座存在了一千三百年多年的“白色宫殿”,我还是感到无比震撼和由衷的惊叹!人在他面前显得如此渺小,他不仅神秘,他还有种巍然气势使你对他顶礼膜拜,宗教的信仰在这里非常浓郁,这座依山而建的建筑是公元7世纪松赞干布为迎娶文成公主而兴建的规模宏大的宫堡,他到底具有怎样的魔力,诱使人们如此着迷? 入口处十分严格的安全检查之后。向日葵色板官方拾级而上,还没等我抬眼望个全貌,只听见“噗通---哐!”的一声,布丁首先一个扎扎实实的响头磕了下去,不是吧!这可不是五台山,这可是藏传佛教,再说了,这头不是这个磕法!布丁揉着自己的膝盖满脸委屈:奶奶的!摔死我了,看来前世是造孽了,一进门就让我磕这麽大一个头,我的相机!!!旁的游客认真的说:磕的好!磕的好!磕了就解了。没想到武功高强的不丁也有失蹄儿的时候,哈哈! 我们是经过特批的一群人,省了提前一天的预约,进门特殊的顺利,不跟团,当然也没有导游,送向日葵色板官方的人告诉向日葵色板官方只能混导游了.这儿的导游不像内地,白听讲解会不高兴,会想方设法的甩你,还是这儿的导游明理,一个人也是讲,十个人也是讲,不多向日葵色板官方几只耳朵!再说了,在布宫这麽人多地窄的地方,你防的过来麽?!挑长的一明快、顺眼的导游小伙儿,混!还不错,普通话过关,没口音,而且有问必答,只是有点给不上步伐,这里对他们带团导游有考核(天哪,这地方也有考核这个字眼,这让我想起单位的指考核,郁闷!)----一个小时之内,必须将团带出布宫,否则取消下次带团进宫的资格。向日葵色板官方这群没组织的闲散人等,只能多混几任导游了。进入白宫,视线一下变得昏暗,酥油的味道浓烈到窒息,仿佛进了不见天日的迷宫,宫外阳光明媚,光和热气被西域特有的牦牛毛制成的挂帘隔开,人很多,中国游客,外国游客,藏人。我被这第三种人深深感动着,他们着传统藏装,神情专注,头脑里装着不可亵渎的神灵,虔诚而忘我。他们携儿带女,大多千里迢迢远道徒步而来,手里捧着纯纯的酥油,向他们心中至高无上的神灵奉上自己执着的信仰,这种虔诚的气氛相互感染着,没有民族之分,没有国界之分!布宫又通过建筑艺术体积的无限夸张和极度渲染,布局的强烈对比和互相陪衬,尽情表现了佛法神威,告诫人们,惟有超脱尘世,皈依佛门,才是通向天国的境地。不同角度看布宫 进入殿堂,南壁玻璃罩内的那枚代表权势的神秘手印让我印象颇深,据史料记载:1682年五世达赖喇嘛圆寂后,摄政第巴•;桑结嘉措为了让工程顺利进行,将五世达赖喇嘛圆寂的消息秘不发丧长达13年之久。因此,公元1693年布宫重建工程结束后,落成纪念碑只得以无字碑的形式出现。而今天人们到布宫朝拜、参观,大多会从这块地处红山脚下的无字碑开始他们游历的步伐。还有至今未设灵塔的六世达赖喇嘛:红宫主体为达赖喇嘛的灵塔殿和佛殿。一世至四世达赖喇嘛的灵塔分别安放在日喀则和拉萨,五世至十三世达赖喇嘛等八位的灵塔则全部安放在布达拉宫的红宫里。布达拉宫里唯一保留有六世达赖喇嘛遗迹的地方,是他曾经的寝宫——德丹吉殿。缘何如此,据称是这位被誉为“情歌圣手”的活佛其时争议颇多。 六世达赖喇嘛14岁时入主布达拉宫,传闻他始终未能忘情于世俗生活,并以亲身感受创作了大量诗歌。相传八阔街的玛吉阿米,就是他当年与情人幽会的地方。康熙三十二年,仓央嘉措殃及于西藏的政教斗争,被清廷废除,解送北上,传说道经今青海湖时,夜中遁去,不知所终。 当然,我不用费心布宫的历史由来,但这座用金子和珍宝筑成的宫殿确实让我惊诧不已。布宫,宫宇叠砌,迂回曲折,与山体有机地融合,昭示周而复始的规律,这是布达拉宫给人最为直接的感受。 从布宫出来,沐浴着炽烈的阳光,身上有着从未有过的轻松,仿佛将所有的罪孽在神灵面前涤荡一清,混混沌沌的进去,清清爽爽的出来,烦恼统统的不见,心轻松到可以放飞!绕着宫墙汇入街上的人流,藏人,汉人,宗教派人士,无神论者,,车水马龙在这片圣土上依旧川流不息着,我不禁心生慨叹:人如蝼蚁,却是万物之灵,改造着这个世界,也筑造着心灵的家园。到底是人创造了神,还是神创造了人?答案无从知晓。僧侣 偶是越野偶们的首领----龙老大向日葵色板官方的上校,是真的上校哦!这是武功高强的布丁 驱车到西郊和第二小分队汇合,在罗布林卡附近的一家川菜馆解决了午饭,下午接着逛历代达赖喇嘛的夏宫---罗布林卡公园,不过60元的门票价格不菲,这是一座宫廷式园林,绿树成荫,是历来传统藏戏及民间歌舞表演的重要场所。进园不久,就发现这是个很好的去处,环境幽静,绿树成荫,氧气充足,青青的草地诱惑着酒足饭饱的向日葵色板官方小憩一番,没等龙老大的号令,就卧倒了一片。这个美丽的季节,美丽的地方,不仅仅吸引着外地人,本地藏人也会携朋招友来此踏青,草地上摆上香醇的青稞酒及各种美食,就着糌粑,喝着上好的酥油茶。相互高声说一句:“扎西德勒”!如有客人到访,家庭的主妇就会端出清香可口的酥油茶,恭恭敬敬地捧到客人面前。客人不能轻意拒绝,至少要喝上三碗,喝得越多,就会被认为懂得礼貌。龙队和上校就是这个时候过去讨了人家三杯青稞酒,喝完美滋滋的砸吧着嘴坐在草地上回味! 做驴的时候,什么苦都能吃,等做回猪了,想着法儿的享受!偌大个园林,没走了多少路,没进了几座园中寺院,就想着地儿歇了,索性尽情享受一番,园中觅一清净茶社,来几壶价格便宜又味道纯正的藏式酥油茶和甜茶,坐在树下的阴凉地儿美美地品着,布丁幸福的感慨:不要太幸福呦!老大幸福地总结:喝了酥油茶,从此山不再高,路不再遥远!-----真是幸福的一天。 由于高反,食欲下降,我决定晚饭免了,早点休息,却被布丁不由分说赶上了天台,并亲自给调了一碗香喷喷的汤面,意外地勾起了我的食欲,干掉了满满一大碗! 这里的时间和内地相差近两个小时,布达拉的夜景十分壮观,晚9:30----10:30布宫整个灯火通明,在夜空的映衬下批上了一层神密的外衣,魅力十足。这群疯狂的人们,体力超乎想象,九点多,在内地已经快洗洗睡了,龙老大居然带着一支队伍,全副武装,长枪短炮,如同一群夜行军,要夜探布达拉。房间里留下了头痛的上校,胸闷的大夫,感冒的采风,浑身没劲的越野。十一点多,迷迷乎乎听见部队回来了,一个个脸上没有眉飞色舞,全都面无表情,象霜打了的茄子,我起身问:被抓了?布丁:非!老大今儿是打上鸡血了,把我们楞生生从布达拉给遛回来了,腿筋都抽了三回!我窃喜,倒头接着睡…… 大夫花絮(1)到拉萨的第一天,因大家混住一间房,大夫有点心猿意马,不肯入睡,第二天就高反 了,第二天晚上,借此契机,要求换床到美眉布丁旁边那张床上睡。 布丁:你吃了豹子胆了!? 大夫:我没吃豹子胆,但我吃了安定了! 布丁:那我就放心了!看你也是有贼心没贼胆! 大夫碍于智老师在场不好吭气,自言自语:贼要睡了!老大有没有鸡血,给我打点。 老大朝我嚷嚷:护士!咱还有鸡血吗?给大夫打点! 我嚷:别开玩笑了,睡吧!!! 大家从被窝里笑醒,上校一跃而起:向日葵色板官方没开玩笑!向日葵色板官方说正经的呢!还有没有鸡血,给我也来点!!! 全体笑喷…….全体卧倒!喝着酥油茶,幸福的像花儿一样! 7月28日 继续在暮野休整,规定早5点起床,睁眼就8点了,今天游览大昭寺,说实话,大昭寺的香火很盛,人多到拥挤,还要排队,如果在平时,我不会去凑这个热闹,但这是西藏的大昭寺,不去不合适,只有硬着头皮一头扎进如海的善男信女当中,扎进那片烟雾缭绕的酥油味里,拜了神灵,观了佛面,敬献了格桑花,速速出寺,再逗留半个时辰,准晕在里面。 大昭寺在藏人眼里,是神圣的庙宇,他们会倾其所有,尽一生的积蓄用来拜谒,不管千里迢迢,还是山穷水恶,钱用尽了,一路乞讨而来,路人大多乐善好施,助其成业,也求己福。所以信徒众多,衣衫褴褛,手摇转经筒,磕着长头,梭巴仁波切开释:“转动经纶,使一切有情(不只是人,也包括昆虫等)均不会堕落三恶趣,他们会获得天人身,或往生净土。 这就是他们信仰的世界,我对藏传佛教没有研究,不懂但很尊重,有信仰应该是件好事。布施远道而来同样也是远道而来 宗教的力量 宗教的力量宗教的力量这里超人如云,沉贴的最高纪录,刚发了贴几秒钟不到,沉到下一版了,郁闷!{5_151} 下午,自由活动,龙队去丹杰林路上的户外店购置了气罐,为明天的阿里之行----大北线做准备。我陪采风逛街购物,来西藏之前她理了个红军发型,戴上她那顶帽子,有人说她像地质工珠峰是必然的,我觉得我这辈子登珠峰是不可能了,能够亲眼看到珠峰我也觉的是一件可望不可及的事情,后天居然要去珠峰,住在大本营,我是真真儿的有点懵。虔诚的藏人在转寺大昭寺前合个影路过的哥哥姐姐们,请顶顶贴,否则好文美图大家都看不到喽! 7月29日 魂牵梦绕的阿里----向日葵色板官方来了 约好八点启程,利利索索打好包,等到太阳晒到屁股了,司机小李才开着他那辆18号丰田4500出现在我们面前,一个高大、憨厚、热情的甘肃小伙儿,还有另一位司机小朱和他的16号丰田4500姗姗来迟,接上向日葵色板官方出发。 一辆车四个坐儿,两辆车八个人,偏偏就多我一个,小李说,坐后面吧,查的紧。这样我被塞进了后面行李堆儿,似乎这种情况就是为我专门准备的。最可气的是坐在前面的大夫和布丁总是象看猴子一样回过头来看我,后备厢是和前面相通的,靠窗多了一个竖的座位,在上校的帮助下摞在后面的徒步大背包规整的还可以,出了市区几下颠波我就被埋在了行李堆里,咂得我眼冒金星!更可气的是后门不能开,要想放风还得光着脚提着鞋从后座上爬出来,非常辛苦!就像上车没买票的待遇! 快到羊湖(羊卓雍错)的时候,苦难终于结束了,我被获释坐到了副驾旁边的加坐上,视野无比开阔。 沿着拉贡公路往机场方向走,过一条隧道,道路出现分岔,一条是通往机场的,另一条是通往日喀则的,去江孜要走去机场的路,向日葵色板官方4500盘绕在山间,弯路比较多,但路况还好。过了甘多拉山口就可以看到美丽的羊卓雍错了,只见蓝天下群山环抱着碧蓝的湖水,远处天边矗立着雪山,静如处子的羊湖让向日葵色板官方惊叹不已,后来得知羊卓雍错和玛旁雍错、纳木错同为西藏三大圣湖。向日葵色板官方的司机也特别配合,他会寻找合适的拍摄角度为向日葵色板官方停车,狂热的拍摄人尽情挥洒热情。公路沿着湖畔到卡浪子,这时候,天暗下来,我们的车一会儿冲进雨里,一会儿冲进阳光里,很有意思,司机说,这就是所谓的“十里不同天”都是头顶上的那片云彩在翻云覆雨。冲出那片有意思的云彩约两个多小时后,壮观的卡诺拉冰川就呈现在眼前了。我的一生中虽没经历过大富大贵,却经历了如此大美,我认为这也是老天赐予的一份意外收获。 相传,羊湖是天上的仙女下凡变成的。由于湖水的深浅不同和光照的变化,湖水从里到外颜色逐层变幻,据说,如果俯首凝视羊湖,就能在水中看到自己的前生和来世,传说归传说,我相信每个人都不会愿意真的去探索自己的前世来生,活着的美好在于明天的不可预测,未知才使生活变的有意义,今天活着就能看到明天要做什麽,生命会在哪个季节消逝,那将是一件多么可怕、生不如死的事情啊。 看着美丽的羊湖,上校立刻表示有裸游的迫切需要,特别想让羊湖这个美丽的仙女拥抱一下他嫩滑的身体,他渴望一头扎进湖里,出来就返老还童变成一妙龄少女或英俊少男,上校说话的态度一本正经,口气十分的恳切,应该能够感动上苍。 此时此刻卡诺拉冰川就矗立在我们眼前,长长的冰舌由山间而下,冰川下五彩的经幡随风飒飒作响,闭上眼,感受着拂面而过的高原之风,我感到自己的心境无限的扩展开来,空旷而辽远……. 下午七点,路过宗山古堡,是电影《红河谷》的外景拍摄地,当时没反应过来,所以印象不是十分深刻,拍了几张照片匆匆而去。过了江孜县,已是西藏的黄昏时刻,一片大光从山边投射下来,光线不强不弱,落在公路两边的青稞田里,山暗田明,远暗近明,正是向日葵色板官方想要的大光!向日葵色板官方跳下车以迅雷不及掩耳盗铃之势钻进田边抢拍,十分钟的时间,大光移走,相信大家都有了几张大作,就连用松下LX2拍的这几张大片都非常满意! 日喀则距离拉萨250公里,海拔3800米,比拉萨略高,是臧南的重镇,日喀则臧语称“喜葛次”意为“如意庄园”是西藏第二大城市和宗教中心,称后臧地区。这一带气候温和,日照充足,是西藏的粮仓。今晚就住在日喀则,司机帮我们联系了一家经济、干净的小店----金兰卓玛住吧,名字很有意思,里面的设施也别有风味,一进门就能看到舒服的秋千藤椅和摇椅,让你一解疲劳,我们就住在后院的二楼,放了行李,集合吃饭。西藏有名的怪现象:四川的饭馆,河南的出租。真是不假,就是没有山西的东东! 饭吃的舒服又热闹,布丁这个大总管还算不错!跑里跑外,像李连英一样辛苦,凑合用吧!饭桌上就“人工呼吸”方面诸多问展开激烈讨论,我有点饿,没听清楚由来,不细述了,好象是以布丁为人工呼吸的模特,鼓励大家勤于练习户外急救知识,要知详情请致电布丁同志为你细细道来! 卡诺拉冰川 光影大片 翻云覆雨 风起云涌([]
〖前言〗2013年8月7日上午,肯尼亚首都内罗毕乔默-肯雅塔国际机场爆发大火,烧毁国际到达大厅,机场关闭。听闻这个消息时,向日葵色板官方正在从安博塞利返回内罗比的路上。“既然机场关闭,我们是不是可以晚回几天?正好可以再去一次马赛马拉!”得知这条坏消息,我们的第一反应不是叹气,反倒有点幸灾乐祸。向日葵色板官方在马赛马拉只呆了三天,三天的时间,对于辽阔无边的马赛马拉草原来说哪里足够,只觉意犹未尽,诸多遗憾。8月8日,按原计划下午向日葵色板官方就将搭乘阿联酋航空返国。但一大早便得知消息,国际机场当天依旧关闭。清静和飞翔开始与旅行社及保险公司联系,75忙着联系更便宜的酒店,因为十有八九向日葵色板官方这天是无法离开了。走不了,但也去不了马赛马拉,因为正值马赛马拉的旺季,如果没有提前几个月预订住宿,根本是一房难求。午饭后,我们兵分两路:大部队去机场确认航班消息,我和蟋蟀头及75去希尔顿酒店预订当晚的住宿。因美亚保险认为机场火灾不在向日葵色板官方的保险范围之内,保险公司拒不承担向日葵色板官方滞留的任何费用,所以向日葵色板官方得找便宜一点的住宿。对于向日葵色板官方这类出行常住青旅或家庭旅馆的驴友来说,希尔顿这样的五星级酒店向来不在考虑之内。但,这是在内罗毕,向日葵色板官方必须为自己选择一个安全的酒店。而安全,往往则意味着昂贵。在希尔顿订好住宿后,向日葵色板官方三人赶到机场与大部队汇合。机场区的空气里依旧弥漫着一股浓烈的焦味,国际航班抵达区的建筑被浓烟熏黑,且部分坍塌。此情此景,惨不忍睹。对于向日葵色板官方这些滞留的客人将如何处置,机场与阿联酋航空没有任何表态。向日葵色板官方一无所获地离开机场,回到希尔顿。200美元/晚的住宿费,除了安全,向日葵色板官方并没得到更多。房间又小又旧,似乎连如家也不如,晚餐的费用又高得离谱,大家再也没有玩的心情,只一门心思想着回去。8月9日,一大早check out后赶到机场,机场早已是人潮汹涌,混乱不堪。向日葵色板官方挤在一个小通道处,在长不到十米的通道排了两三个小时,才总算安检完进入check-in大厅。原以为进去后便诸事大吉,谁知那只是等待的开始。check-in大厅里早已挤得人满为患,但离开的人少,进来的人却在源源不断地增加。在阿联酋团队check-in的柜台前又排队两小时后,方得知阿联酋当天并没增加一个航班,这意味着7号8号未离开的旅客将继续滞留。满怀希望的人群一片哗然,开始躁动不安。阿联酋航空的工作人员站在柜台上讲话,让非当天机票的乘客离开,“NO!NO!”滞留的旅客,而且大多是中国游客,喊着统一的口号,表示抗议。这样的劝退与躁动发生几个回合后,驻内罗毕的中国大使馆人员赶到,人群爆发出一阵掌声,集体喊着“向日葵色板官方要回家!向日葵色板官方要回家!”这样的场面我从未经历,有点震惊,也有点感动。大使馆参赞与各团队的领队交流后,又与阿联酋的工作人员沟通。但那晚,向日葵色板官方的等待并没有一个好的结束。八月的内罗毕,晚上凉风习习。机场上已搭了两天的帐篷,依然还在搭建中,黑人兄弟的工作效率,实在不能令人恭维。向日葵色板官方一群人站在机场的一块空地上,讨论向日葵色板官方的何去何从。讨论没有结果,唯一确定的是,先回酒店休息。在机场耗了一整天,大家都累了,身心俱疲。所幸的是,8月10日一大早,阿联酋航空便来电,要向日葵色板官方赶紧去机场。这一天,机场的秩序明显比前一天好很多,向日葵色板官方顺利地办完值机、通关、安检,直至坐到帐篷搭成的临时候机大厅时,心里才安定许多。心安之余,回想肯尼亚的这十多天旅程,只觉内心五味杂陈。原以为可以在肯尼亚无污染的大草原上畅快呼吸,享受天然氧吧,谁知灰尘铺天盖地,大家都用口罩或头巾捂着脸,每天回到房间都是蓬头垢面。原以为可以在内罗毕穿街走巷,享受逛街乐趣,谁知内罗毕安全堪忧,因抢劫时常发生,向日葵色板官方所停留的地方,除了餐厅,就是酒店。原以为只要在对的时节到了马赛马拉,每天都可以欣赏到角马过河的壮观场景,谁知这其实非常靠运气。但不得不承认,近距离看动物是多么美好的一件事。优雅的长颈鹿、温顺的斑马、性感的猎豹、稳重的大象、猥琐的鬣狗、霸气十足的狮子。。。当曾在动物园里才能看到的动物,忽然在我周围自由行走、奔跑,那感觉真是无以伦比的美妙。特别是当狮子情侣含情脉脉地对望时,那一刻,我的心瞬间被打动,化得如水一般温柔。当然,更多的故事,更多的细节,还是请与我一起,走进肯尼亚。 D1(7-29)上海——迪拜——内罗毕4点钟,天未亮,整个城市还在沉睡中,我俩便拎着行李从家里出发了,去浦东机场与朋友们汇合。向日葵色板官方将搭乘715的航班,经迪拜转机前往肯尼亚的首都内罗毕。在这之前,我只睡了3个小时。待飞机准时起飞时,我已进入沉沉的睡梦中。在梦中,我似乎进入了时光隧道,去往另一个不同维度的空间。但的确,那是另一个不同的国度,位于赤道上的东非国家——肯尼亚。抵达时,向日葵色板官方的时针将往回拨5个小时。时光倒流,在抵达肯尼亚的那一刻,梦想成真。 内罗毕国际机场,号称是东非最大、也最繁忙的机场,但在向日葵色板官方看来,小,且陈旧。繁忙却是真,当地时间傍晚19点过时,依然人流如潮,通关时,三四个关口处排着冗长的队伍。机场让人失望,但入住的酒店Crowne plaza却是当晚最大的惊喜了。出发之前,领队清静就说,肯尼亚的条件不太好, 即使五星级酒店,也不一定有wifi,也不保证有热水淋浴,千万不要用国内五星级酒店的准来衡量。所以,当向日葵色板官方走进酒店,便有人递上热毛巾和芒果汁,有人主动帮忙搬送行李,再到走进房间,眼前一亮,打开手机,免费联上wifi时,激动之情便难以言喻了。只是,酒店禁止吸烟,不仅只是酒店大堂等公共区域,所有房间都禁止抽烟。烟瘾难耐的蟋蟀头不甘心,让我打电话到前台,询问何处可以抽烟。话筒那边的声音,礼貌且明确:请下楼,走出酒店大门。如此严格的禁烟,是向日葵色板官方意想不到的,更意想不到的是,酒店居然在门口设有安检,所有的行李都必须通过安检。当时虽觉奇怪,却并不太为意,只是在后来的行程中,才渐渐明了其中的原因所在。 D2(7-30)内罗毕——马赛马拉 早餐后,向日葵色板官方便径直驱车离开酒店,没有在内罗毕作任何停留,直接驶向马赛马拉。座落在使馆区的Crowne plaza,似乎位于市区之外,仅几分钟而已,我们便已远离内罗毕,行驶在两边是乡村或镇子的公路上。而内罗毕的真实面貌,尚未见识。 向日葵色板官方团队20人,共租了六辆面包车,每辆车3-4人。我和蟋蟀头、龙之杰三人一辆。刚上车坐稳,蟋蟀头便要我和司机说,带向日葵色板官方去买打火机。司机约瑟夫Joseph一口答应。一边开车,一边回过头说道:“no problem.” 刹车没踩,车速没减,还回过头来说话,他这个举动吓坏了我,赶紧说道:“别转头,别转头!”我的话音刚落,约瑟夫又把头转了回来,举着手里的香烟告诉向日葵色板官方,“车里可以吸烟”。他这句话让蟋蟀头和龙之杰高兴不已,赶紧给约瑟夫递过去一支烟。因为,在这之前,向日葵色板官方的导游再三告诫,肯尼亚很多地方不能随便吸烟,比如公共场所、草原、车上。但刚出发,就有这样的破例,两个烟鬼当然兴奋不已。他俩兴奋,我却有另外的担忧。约瑟夫开车时只要说话,必定回头,这习惯令我最初非常担心行驶的安全问。但实际上,我当然是多虑了。黑人司机的脑袋后面似乎还长了另一双眼睛似的,他们即使回头说话,也能灵活地与对面的车辆擦肩而过。 9点过,向日葵色板官方途中的第一次停车,杜导说,东非大裂谷到了。东非大裂谷,这条长度相当于地球周长1/6的大裂谷,是大陆上最大的断裂带。深陷的地沟,犹如地球的一道巨大伤疤。位于肯尼亚的裂谷,只是东非大裂谷的一部分。在裂谷地带,发现了距今已经有350万年的“能人”(从猿到人过渡阶段的人)遗骨,诸多考古发现证明东非大裂谷是人类文明最古老的发源地之一。在人类起源问上,很多科学家支持“非洲起源说”,即目前生活在世界各地的现代人类的祖先在大约20万年前起源于非洲,然后在距今10万年以内离开非洲,向亚洲和欧洲扩散。我们其实都是非洲后裔,你相信吗?maybe。但眼前的大裂谷,因为角度问,并不能让向日葵色板官方感受到视觉上的震撼。眼见不一定为实,便是这个道理。在大裂谷观景点,蟋蟀头的最大收获,可能便是买到的两盒火柴。观景点旁边一个木雕礼品店,我问售货员是否有打火机出售?他摇头,然后从袋中掏出1盒火柴。我点点头,“这个也行。” 售价1美元,没有讨价还价。想再问他多买一盒,他跑去另一个房间,对另一个人叽叽咕咕一阵后,那个人不知从什么角落里又翻出一盒火柴。火柴难道是这里的稀缺货?我有点不明白。后来问约瑟夫,为何他们不卖打火机,只有火柴?他回答,因为打火机的气有伤身体,所以人们不爱用。真是这样吗?我半信半疑。 再一次停车时,正值中午时分,向日葵色板官方停在一家酒店午餐。下了车,男人们除了抽烟,便是纷纷抢着与黑人兄弟合影。他们的心思谁都明白,无非是想彰显一下自己的皮肤有多白。蟋蟀头之前一直说自己晒得太黑,现在他终于心理平衡了。不仅不黑,而且看起来似乎太白了。 向日葵色板官方的司机约瑟夫,英语说得比我溜。在曾经是英国殖民地的肯尼亚,英语是官方语言,课本全部是英语写成。所以,只要上过学读过书的肯尼亚人,都会说一口流利英语,而且还是英式口语。非洲是一夫多妻制,所以我很好奇,约瑟夫娶了几个妻子。当他回答我,没有结婚时,我大为诧异。再问他年龄,他告诉我,他43了。听闻他已43岁还没有结婚,我表示不相信。他淡淡地笑着,“结过婚,但现在离了。”后来聊起他的生意时,他才说,7~10月是肯尼亚的旺季,他几乎天天开车在外;即使淡季的时候,也是隔一周外出一周,聚少离多,所以就离婚了,而且没有儿女。现在正和一个中国女孩交往中。约瑟夫的坦诚相告,让我了解到现在的肯尼亚,城市中的男人们迫于经济上的压力,一夫多妻在减少,这种现象也许在农村会更为普遍。 午餐是自助餐。实际上,向日葵色板官方在肯尼亚这一路上,在酒店都是自助餐,如果在草原上,就是酒店准备的餐盒。非洲的饮食比想像中好。午餐后,继续上路。路边的植物,开始变得奇奇怪怪。 初来乍到,沿途的所有风景都令向日葵色板官方感觉新鲜,即使车没有停留片刻,向日葵色板官方手中的相机快门也没停歇过。在通往马赛马拉的前半段路程时,约瑟夫并不干涉向日葵色板官方拍照,但后半段路经一些小镇时,他便严禁向日葵色板官方拍照,“NO photo!”他说归说,向日葵色板官方拍归拍,并不太理会他的干涉。但没想到,他神情更加严肃地阻止道:“这里不要拍照!如果你们再拍,街上的人会拿石子扔我们的。”一边说,他一边晃着右臂,做出扔石子的举动。我看着路边的人们,他们中的有些人在向日葵色板官方经过时还会向向日葵色板官方挥挥手。我很难想像,如果我拍他们,下一刻,他就会捡起石头攻击向日葵色板官方。但约瑟夫的严肃劲告诉我们,他不是在瞎编故事,他一定亲身经历过,他的车可能就被那些石子砸坏过。 越接近马赛马拉,灰尘越大。当车从公路转入土路时,灰尘已是铺天盖地,迎着车袭来。即使车窗全部摇紧,也丝毫无用,在剧烈的颠簸中,车窗很容易就被颠开一条缝,然后缝隙越来越大。车中,一股干燥而呛人的土味,弥散开来。我和蟋蟀头都戴上了口罩,但过不了太久,蟋蟀头还是把口罩摘到了一边,“太闷了,气也喘不过来的感觉”。约瑟夫果然不愧有15年的车龄,驾驶经验丰富,即使路烂到极点,车七摇八颠,他也几乎不减速。别小看他这辆破面包车,可是改装过的拥有四驱的面包车。真正是面包车的外型,越野车的本领。车虽然颠得厉害,但向日葵色板官方还是睡着了。待再醒来时,蟋蟀头抹了下嘴巴,伸手向我要水喝,“我得喝口水把嘴里的土给咽下去。”他这话,把我刚喝进嘴里的水,差点喷出来。待向日葵色板官方六辆车终于全部停下来,向日葵色板官方可以下车透下风喘口气时,周围已是一片清新。“快看,那边的一群羚羊!”不知谁叫了一声,所有人的相机都对准了不远处草地上的一小群羚羊 。这是向日葵色板官方在草原上第一次看到动物,难免兴奋。但在后面的几天,这样的羚羊随处可见时,大家也就习以为常了。毕竟,这是非洲大草原上最最常见的一种动物。 上车,继续向前。刚刚进入马赛马拉的向日葵色板官方,新鲜、好奇、兴奋。显然,斑马比向日葵色板官方淡定许多。七八月是马赛马拉的冬季,枯黄的草色,一片片地蔓延开来,羚羊开始随处可见。向日葵色板官方的车停在了马赛村的门口。这些身披红布,手执一根木棒的男人,便是传说中连野兽也怕的骁勇善战的马赛人。我拿着一袋给小朋友们准备的棒棒糖跳下车,谁知,刚下车,这袋棒棒糖就几乎被这些男人们瓜分干净。去非洲之前,在书中了解到,马赛人不爱拍照,因为他们担心拍照会带走他们的灵魂。所以,我对去马赛村拍照心有顾忌。但是,这已不是一般的马赛村了,它已经商业化。早已见惯了各类游客,再加上我的棒棒糖,这些马赛男人都很乐意与我合影一张,即使把他们人手不离的木棒借我一用也是无所谓。 要识别马赛男人很容易,因为他们的装束很醒目:两块红底黑条或红底黑格的布,一块扎在腰上遮羞,一块披在肩上。马赛男人之所以喜欢身披红布,其实是为了吓跑狮子等野兽,保护他们赖以生存的牛群。随着时代的变迁,这块传统的红布不再是单一的红底黑条,也变换出多种样式,出现了黑条、黄条、蓝条或者黄格、蓝格,唯一不变的就是大红的底色。蟋蟀头提出要披一下他们身上的那块红布,那个马赛人立马答应,把自己身上的披风解下来,给蟋蟀头围上,再系个结,就OK了,穿戴十分容易。 这个说一口流利英语的马赛男人叫Peter,我注意到,甚至于他的装束都与其他马赛男人不一样。Peter指着距离向日葵色板官方不远的一个小门说道:“请大家抓紧时间,赶紧过来吧,向日葵色板官方为你们准备了节目。”那个用树枝扎起来的拱形小门便是马赛村的入口,低矮的入口与他们修长的身材完全不符。我们猜想是为防大型野兽进入才设计成这样的。参观马赛村并非免费,每人要收取35美元。这样一个自费项目让团队中的部分人有点犹豫不决,踌躇着是否要花200多人民币的门票去参观一个商业化的小村落。他们的犹而不决让Peter有点不耐烦了,大声地说道,“如果不参观村子,请不要再拍任何照片。”不能拍人,即使拍风景照也不行。最终,向日葵色板官方的团队一分为二,一部分去参观马赛村,另一部分则直接去酒店。关于值得不值得,每个人的心里都有把秤,且准不一,难以评判。我只是认为,既然已到了别人家门口了,人都站门口欢迎向日葵色板官方了,那就去吧,就算是一种礼仪。门票,就算是向日葵色板官方登门拜访的一点礼金而已。去亲朋好友家串门做客,向日葵色板官方还得拎点东西了,去别人村里作客送点礼品更是无可厚非。最重要的是,即使这已是一个对游客开放的马赛村,它也还是马赛村,是马赛人自己的家,而非一个临时搭建起来供游客参观的人工景点。跟着Peter进了马赛村。过那道拱门时,身材矮小如我,也得弯腰才能进入。村不大,零落地散着一些土坯砌成的房屋。低矮的土屋,与马赛人的身高同样不匹配。待向日葵色板官方一一进入,十几个马赛男人已经排成一排,准备为向日葵色板官方跳“勇士之舞”。“勇士之舞”是马赛男人的传统舞蹈,在他们的哼唱中,一个接一个的马赛人开始立定跳高,跳完一轮,再来一轮。除了绷紧小腿,笔直地往上跳,勇士之舞没有更多动作,手上也不需要多余的比划,只要尽可能地跳得高些就行。这真是我所见过的最简单的舞蹈。但其实,跳得高,跑得快,历来就是马赛人对勇士的认定准,这其实也与他们的游牧习性相关。(拍摄者:蟋蟀头) 跳完舞,Peter开始为向日葵色板官方介绍他们的村庄。Peter说,收来的门票钱是为六个村子的100多个孩子筹建学校而用。得知向日葵色板官方每人交的35美元将用来建学校时,我心里顿时宽慰了许多。我问Peter,他为何会说英语?因为在我的想法里,以游牧为生的马赛部落,遵循传统生活方式的马赛人,一口流利的英语,似乎与他们完全沾不上边。Peter告诉我,他上过学。他竟然上过学?我有点吃惊。再问,村里有多少人上过学时,他平静地说道:“两个人。”另一个人,便是他的弟弟。“你是村长吗?”我问。能有这样特殊待遇的人,在我看来,必定是特权阶层。“NO。my father is chief.” 原来,他是酋长的儿子。Peter很得意地告诉我,他有10个老婆?十个老婆?!太让人吃惊了,他怎么顾得过来?“你结婚了吗?”这次轮到他向我提问了。“结婚了。”我指了指正在拍照的蟋蟀头。“不过,他只有我一个老婆。”我补充道。“你老婆向我提了这么多问,看来她爱上我了。要不,你把她让给我吧!”Peter开玩笑地和蟋蟀头说道。“NO。”蟋蟀头摇着头答道。但后来,他后悔了,和我说,“我应该假装答应他,再看他打算用多少头牛来换你,你就知道你值多少头牛了!”他刚一说完,便被我狠狠地掐了一下。不过,以畜牧为生的马赛人,的确是用牲畜作为娶亲的聘礼,据说十头牛就可以娶一个老婆。 接下来,Peter就要带向日葵色板官方进屋去参观了。马赛人的房屋用泥土和牛龚搭建而成,屋顶则用茅草盖上。在马赛娶老婆,男人不用担心房子问,因为房屋都由老婆搭建,一个老婆一个屋子。门很小,依然只能弯腰进去。进去后是厅,除了一股难闻的骚味,小小的厅里什么也没有。如果要坐下来,对着门,靠墙的一侧有一条砌高的土堆,可以当沙发一用。而这难闻的味道,则来自牲畜。因为牲畜是马赛人的财产,有时晚上会让牛羊进屋,以防被野兽偷袭。所以,马赛人的房屋实际上是人畜共用,有股怪味也就在所难免了。侧面有个更小的门洞,钻进去,再向左转个弯,便是卧室了。这样的内部构造,其实是防止野兽或者敌人的贸然闯入。卧室小得可怜。靠右的地上用土稍微砌高点,再铺一些布,就是他们的床了。我有一个疑问,马赛人这么高的个子,这么短的床,岂不是从来都不能伸直腿睡觉?距离床边不到一米远的土灶,便是他们煮饭的地方。而墙上那个透着光亮的小洞,则是窗户。在我看来,说是窗户实在太不贴切,怎么看也只能说是个窗洞。在屋里生火煮东西,却只有这么小的两个窗孔换气,人住里面岂不要闷死?灯呢?屋里黑漆漆的一片,他们晚上用什么照明呢?杜导的解释是,马赛人的生活是日出而作,日落而息,天黑就睡觉了,根本用不着点灯。家徒四壁,马赛人的房屋真是把这个词解释得再透彻不过。(拍摄者:蟋蟀头)几个人挤在屋里,没呆多久,已觉缺氧,再加上屋内气味奇怪,我必须得出去透口气了。一出来,迎面便撞上一气质不凡的老者,他便是Peter的父亲——酋长大人。蟋蟀头按中国人的见面规矩,赶紧递上一支烟。老酋长把烟接过来,微笑不语。虽然他不会英语,向日葵色板官方无法更多交流,但老酋长的确是给人一种大家长的感觉。 令人惊讶的是,马赛人至今沿袭万年前钻木取火的传统。两个人搭手。把一束枯草杆垫在地上,草杆上再放一个带孔的木块,一人用手按紧这个木块,不让它移动。另一人则用一根木棍穿过木块的孔眼,并两手合掌转动木棍。18秒的时候,开始有烟冒出,不到30秒,那束枯草杆已有些许火星。马赛人便把木棍和木块拿开,用手捧着枯草杆,用嘴对着火星开始吹。烟雾越来越大,直至那束枯草杆燃起了红色的火苗。钻木取火成功,全过程仅1分钟15秒。但我永远是那个“为什么小姐”,从小到大都是如此。我从蟋蟀头那里拿来一盒火柴,问Peter,“你们为何不用火柴呢?这个更方便快捷。”说完,我掏出一根火柴,准备示范给他看,让他知道现代文明的厉害。哪知,第一根火柴竟然没划燃;换一根火柴,不行;再换一根。连换几根火柴后,Peter笑了,我却万分沮丧,并且无从解释。也许,是神不想破坏马赛人对钻木取火的执着吧,想借马赛人将这古老的传统保持下去,以告诉后人,向日葵色板官方人类曾经用这样的方式取火。令人啼笑皆非的是,随后Peter拿了一个带孔的木块问我,要不要买?而且开价不菲。 接着,女人们终于登场,为向日葵色板官方表演唱歌。与马赛男人相比,女人的穿着就色彩丰富许多,而且身形相对肥胖,不知这是否与生育有关。 一夫多妻,全世界男人的梦想。不能一夫多妻,但至少可以与老婆们合个影。男队友们都纷纷跑过去与马赛女人合影,领队清静跑得最快,顺利拔得头筹,75次之,飞翔第三。只是,老婆们却越来越少。可怜的蟋蟀头,轮到他时,只剩三个马赛女人了。但他还是很开心,跟着马赛女人一起边唱边扭。她们唱的是马赛语,可蟋蟀头,你唱的又是什么呢?虽然是第四个上场,但明显他很受马赛女人的欢迎,一起唱歌,还一边有所交流。只是,你们在说什么呢? 唱完几曲后,马赛女人们散去,Peter要继续带向日葵色板官方去参观。他指着房屋后面草地上围成半圆形的货摊说,“This is our market.”货摊上的东西无非是一些手链、项链和木制工艺品。Peter指着手链和项链告诉我说:“这些都是向日葵色板官方村里的女人做的。”然后指着木雕说,“这些都是向日葵色板官方男人做的。”“卖这些东西的收入也将用来建向日葵色板官方的学校。”看着这些做工粗糙,且大同小异的商品,这一次,我却有点怀疑了。真的是自己做的?真的会把钱用来建学校?无论如何,读过书的Peter已经不再是一个原始的马赛人了,也许,在他的意识里,早已植入了市场经济。不过后来再想想,即使这些收入不是用来建学校,而是用来改善他们的生活,也未尝不可。毕竟,他们的生活环境,真的不咋样。而事实上,随着时代的发展,旅游业的兴起,放牧早已不再是他们唯一的谋生手段。旅游收入,已经成为这些村庄重要的收入来源。([]
回忆的开始 从狼C线和乌孙古道出来也有些日子了,每天都在翻看一路的相片,队友们的相片也在陆续传来。这次走狼C一路上上遇见了雨,雪,雾,大风更是常客,看着照片中我和朋友们那一张张皲裂的脸,都会不由自主地想起路上的一幕幕。天气多变,难度也相应增加了,本来计划狼C7天走出,最后走了8天加2小时。老天爷上调了难度,但却给了向日葵色板官方最好的回报:风景绝美。狼C线前后翻越5座雪达坂,每次精疲力尽登顶后极目远眺都能感觉到天不负我。无数的雪山在风起云涌中格外雄伟壮丽。 慢慢整理一下资料,陆续发布,给自己留点记忆,也给朋友们留点资料。8264上狼C的攻略很多了,我就不多献丑了。这次打算通过大量的照片来描述狼C的雄伟壮丽,狼C的美。不逊于任何一条线路的大美狼C. 从现在开始。。。。。。。。。。。。插入:感谢大家支持,俺就多花点时间,480楼开始改用长边2500像素的PP,看上去貌似要有气势很多,不说好不好看,至少大了很多。大片我把整个帖子的主要文字整理了一下,免得各位看的辛苦。 一,初入白杨沟 人马在乌市集合完毕,总计11好汉加一猛女,12员大将。队员是:管子乡村四月臭猫老李无极六戒老解大漠幻想真情一牛 透心凉(俺) 乌市,一大早我还没起床,牛哥就跑出去侦查了一路,回来后很肯定地告诉我:“去火车站旁边的八一车站坐车,我刚去了一趟,了解清楚了。” 佩服。。。。。。要知道来回要折腾一小时,老牛还真是勤快人啊。 12人整装集合出发八一车站,10:50坐车出发,12点20到达呼图壁车站,12点30到达狼塔户外。第一次看见大自在老哥,大自在很热情,好人啊。之前向日葵色板官方没有联系车,也没和大自在联系,临时找车很麻烦。老哥热心地到处打电话,帮向日葵色板官方联系了车辆,帮了大忙啊。另外说一句,从狼塔户外采买的高山气罐非常强大,一人带两个,出山之前我们还剩了一堆。 找好车辆,在旁边吃了一个超爽的手抓饭,1:50开拔进山。4点50到达出发点大油罐,上包,照集体照,出发。狼C之路开始了。 两小时之后到达一个台地,绝对五星级营地,真情一看,打死不走了,感觉要不让他扎营,估计今天晚上俺就别想好好吃饭了,没办法,就地扎营。吃饱喝足,生了堆篝火,兄弟们坐在一起天南地北开始吹牛,感觉像一家人。 二 穿行白杨沟 今天很不幸,湿身了,登山鞋全湿了,在海拔3000米以上的营地这可是大麻烦,明天要过白杨沟达坂,内心有点郁闷。。。。。。 今天的预计营地是白杨沟达坂下的小冰湖,走到跟前,发现雪线向下延伸了很多,小冰湖营地全是雪。只好在离小冰湖2公里左右的一处台地扎营了。 今天算是真正见识了大美天山的绚丽风光。笔直的云杉无论独立还是成林,在金色晨光的照耀下都是那样独特的美丽风景。宽阔的河谷,连绵的高山草甸,起伏的雪山,一切都是那样为之赞叹,为之倾倒。虽然出了点小插曲,但总的看来还是让人相当愉悦的旅程。 今天早上9点20出发,中午休息晒太阳一小时,晚上17点20扎营。营地很冷,吃饱喝足进帐休息,我在外帐用炉头烤鞋子,折腾了一个多小时,基本烤干 。 明天计划8点30出发,冲击白杨沟达坂,据今天碰见的牧民说:雪深20公分以上。。。。。。。。。。。。 三 翻越白杨沟达坂 早上出发,1小时多后到达小冰湖,开始冲锋达坂。 我发现:被忽悠了,雪深及膝,马道被盖住。只能利用GPS和地图来判断了,找好线路,啥也不说,埋头走吧。 边走边观赏风景,上了第一个台地,眼前忽然开阔,大美。于是休息,众人开始作秀照相。看到大家都活蹦乱跳,我突发奇想,对一众强人说:站成一排,摆POSS。于是同学们开始站成一排,又蹦又跳,我一边偷笑一边顺手卡卡。连续的POSS后,看见一个个面红耳赤即将高反的众人,我说道:“很好,很不错。”内心狂笑中,哈哈哈哈。 走走停停,连续上攻了5小时到顶。很累,很疲倦。 不过风景确实对得起付出的辛苦,天公作美,天气极好。登顶远眺河源峰的一刻,疲劳随风而去,俺又活力充沛了。 今天8点50营地出发,10点半左右开始冲击达坂,下午3点20登顶,3点50下撤。由于体能消耗的问,下撤很慢。估计天黑前无法到达河滩营地了。于是在马鞍营地前行40分钟左右的一个临时营地扎营。 洗刷刷,吃点面条,进帐睡觉恢复体力。 四 反复涉水 8点50从营地出发,全天涉水,本来计划过栈道到三角洲营地。由于今天水流很大,多次过河消耗体能很多。加之真情他们由于老虎口有小塌方走了回头路,耽误了一个多小时。下午6点多才到栈道口附近,考虑到安全问,决定今天放弃走栈道,找地扎营。今天比计划的行程慢了2小时。晚上生起一堆篝火,烤了半天总算驱走了身上的湿气和寒气。和一众兄弟一边吃肉一边喝着小酒,感觉很滋润。整了大概四两,感觉身上暖洋洋得很是舒服,哼着小曲进帐睡觉。所哼曲目:鸿雁。 五走过空中栈道 今天的计划是穿过空中栈道,翻越库达坂,一大早起来洗刷刷,吃饱喝足,继续走路。 走啊走啊,走上了空中栈道,风景不错,就是不大敢看,只敢看路,不小心滑了一跤,我趴那动都不敢动,心里只念叨:诸天神佛,饶我一次吧,下次走路俺不唱歌还不成吗。整了几分钟才重新站好,稳住重心。再过了几分钟,又开始哼着小曲走路,不过确实不好走,很多地方都是在斜坡上被人或者山羊踩出的一脚宽的痕迹(个人觉得很多地方不能定义为路),下面就是悬崖。相片照的很少,俺怕相机牺牲,更怕自己牺牲。 提心吊胆两小时,算是走完了空中栈道。前方就是原计划昨天的营地:三角洲营地。 三角洲附近的山坡上有很多五颜六色的红果果树(由于树上结红色果很多,向日葵色板官方就顺口这样称呼了),很漂亮,向日葵色板官方一路走去,边看边照,走了良久,突然有兄弟反应过来。不对,上库达坂沟口就在三角洲旁边,没这么远。于是方才从美景中清醒过来,回头。找到了沟口,志性小树。老天开眼,下起了大雨,啥也别说,扎营吧,雨中上达坂可不好玩。于是有了我狼C的第一个午觉,睡的相当愉快,心里不由念叨:想走就走,想停就停,这才叫旅行,这才叫徒步,这才叫享受,连老天爷都照顾我们。 今天很轻松,全天才走了三小时,睡完午觉起来喝喝下午茶,到处拍拍照,尽享旅行乐趣。 六翻越库达坂 一大早起来,抬头看天,蓝天白云,绝对好天气。今天的行程是翻越库达坂,沿呼图壁河谷上行至牧民营。 库达坂在去年的同期是无雪的,但今天上升时发现最后的地方雪深及膝,大部分到脚踝处。好在上午风不大,疯狂上冲。我由于没带墨镜,走雪地眼睛会很难受,所以基本是眯着眼睛载头猛走。4小时到顶,稍作休整,开始了漫长的下降。 下山的路有几段是由拳头大的碎石组成的滑石地段。采用重心靠后,脚跟先落地的原则,开始冲锋。半溜半跑地迅速下降,让人很有一种坐电梯的感觉,相当爽。唯一需要注意的是要掌握好平衡,不然就变成连滚带爬地下降了。 中途碰见了几个赶着羊群的哈萨克牧民,老解开始看着羊群发呆,估计是饿了。我仿佛看见老解的头上出现了一个巨大的框。里面飘过一只只烤全羊。。。。。。。 下午3点左右,下到了呼图壁河边,一路逆流而上,趟河无数。丰富的秋之色彩随处可见。金黄,酒红,浅红,淡黄,美丽到极致。 一路走来一路看,晚上7点多,走到了牧民营旁的计划营地,安营扎寨。 晚上,星空明亮,起来嘘嘘,发现风很大,巨冷,飞速完工后进帐,缩入睡袋。在牛哥悠扬的鼾声中,安然入睡。 七翻越蒙达坂,喀达坂 又是一个早晨,天气不太好,很重的云雾,看来不是个好天气。今天的行程是翻越蒙达坂和喀达坂,然后下到谷底,走到两河口的牧民营地。 事实证明天气确实很糟,翻越蒙达坂的时候下起了大雪,大风则是陪伴向日葵色板官方全天。蒙达坂积雪基本在膝盖到大腿的未知,步步维艰。雪很厚,看不见一点前人走过的痕迹,经过反复探路,向日葵色板官方最后从蒙达坂冰舌直切而上的时候,感觉那叫一个遥远,风雪中又看不清前方,唯一能做的就是傻走。 冲上蒙达坂,横切三小时,小幅度地下降上升之后就到达喀达坂。 喀达坂的积雪到小腿,还算好。走过喀达坂的时候,有段时间大风吹出了一块蓝天,当时的风景格外壮丽。众兄弟抢着POSS拍照。由于大漠要拍裸照,是最后一个。当这哥们三两下拔下自己的衣服后,估计是不被老天爷欣赏,一阵雾气吹来,结果照片拍下来一个强壮的裸男和一个玛尼堆。 今天出了一个笑话:横切去喀达坂的时候,幻想同志本来在我前面,我一路狂追,始终不见身影,快上喀达坂的时候突然看见在海拔下降80-100米处,看见一个小人在移动,很是惊诧,再一看,是幻想,倒,向日葵色板官方是横切,这哥们怎么跑下去了。后来聊天才知道:这哥们等高线设置80米一根,以为20米一根,跟着GPS轨迹傻走,看上去走的路线是重叠的,其实差之毫厘谬以千里。我在想:要是这哥们整了张5000比1的图看,会不会直切到西藏去了 lol 过了喀达坂,为了尽早赶到营地,大家都在快速前行。我一个人在后面边走边拍照,磨磨蹭蹭一直到9点多才最后抵达营地。不过一路拍了不少照片,也算值得了 。 八 行走在高原牧场 早晨起来,很冷,但天气很好,温度表显示的室外温度-8.1,估计夜晚的温度在-10往下,水袋和套锅里面全是冰。 狼C最艰难的行程已经结束了,剩下两天的路程很好走。今天的行程基本是在高原牧场欣赏风景。涉水一次,过一个小达坂,就到金矿,然后就是一路顺着峡谷欣赏草场了。 河水是从金矿方向留出来的,很浑浊,和泥汤一样。换鞋趟过去,剩下的就全是干路了。行走在高山牧场的台地上,偶尔会走过河滩。金黄的草场绵延无边,让人心旷神怡。天气很好,一整天都是大太阳,我跨着愉快的小步子,边走边欣赏风景,旅途中还小睡了半个小时,晚上6点到达哈尔哈特达坂脚下的牧民房。两间房,一间睡六个,大家都睡大通铺。 房子周围有很多牛粪,真情开始计划用牛粪生火,结果发现在没有炉子导走烟的情况下,那就是杀人。看着一双双熏得通红的眼睛,最后还是决定继续用先进武器气炉生火做饭。 晚餐:土豆烧大肉,莴笋干菜汤,那叫一个腐败。今夜有房睡,明天能出山了。想着都开心。吃饱后,钻出帐篷随手拍了两张雪山月色。 回到铺上,身心都很满足的安然睡去。 九走出狼C线,踏上新旅程 清早起床,太阳还没爬上山头,远处的雪山显得格外宁静。过了一会太阳出来了,照耀山巅,一道金色铺满了山脊。 吃完早饭,9点了,阳光明媚,大家在小木屋附近合影留念。今天冲过哈达坂顺着机耕路一路向下,预计下午4点前就可以到达交叉路口附近的桥,那就是向日葵色板官方这次徒步的终点,可以拦车了。想着今天可以重回人间,大家心情都很好,拍张集体照作为见证。合照完毕,继续踏上向日葵色板官方在狼C线最后的行程飞速冲上了哈达坂,也是狼C线路中的最后一个达坂。稍作休整,欣赏风景,可以看见山下的机耕路蜿蜒通向峡谷外,向日葵色板官方马上就要出去了,心情有一点激动,也有点失落。怀着激动的心情,150M左右的高差,10分钟就从碎石坡冲下去了。下到机耕路,众人到齐,再次合影,也是向日葵色板官方穿越狼C的最后一次合影,剩下的只是傻走了,穿越基本算是结束了。快到交叉口处,看见地质队的营地,看见了一台皮卡。回到人间。地质队养了两条狗,一黑一白,冲着向日葵色板官方乱叫。狗很不懂礼貌,地质队的诸位师傅却是好人。地质队的一位师傅看见向日葵色板官方这群野人,似乎很清楚向日葵色板官方需要什么,直接洗了一盆苹果端了出来,我刚拿出相机照了张相片,苹果就只剩下一个了。 休整片刻后,地质队的一位大哥用那台白色的小皮卡分三次把我们送到了218国道。一路飞驰,极目望去,连绵雪山,蓝天白云。8天半的行程结束了。一路上兄弟们同甘共苦,爬山涉水,见证了狼C的大美。我和臭猫接下来的行程是去伊宁休整,27号出发去乌孙。其他的兄弟的安排是包车回乌市。大家要分开了,带着不舍,带着对下一次相聚的期盼,我和臭猫走上218国道,踏上了下一段旅程。。。。。。。。。 简单列一下行程: 16号:乌市出发,12点30到达狼塔户外。1:50包车进山(感谢大自在老哥的热心帮助),5点到达出发点大油罐,两小时到达一个台地,五星级营地。考虑到第二天运动量不大,就地扎营。 17号:目小冰湖营地。到后发现由于降雪,雪线下移很多,只好在小冰湖前约2公里的一处台地扎营了。 18号:翻越白杨沟达坂,雪深及膝。体能消耗大,7点到达马鞍营地,前行40分钟左右,在谷底旁的一块空地扎营。 19号:全天涉水,(老虎嘴部分再次出现局部塌方不能通行),下午6点到达栈道口附近,由于担心失温影响体力,考虑到安全,决定扎营,比计划行程晚了两个小时。 20号:走完空中栈道,在库达坂沟口遇见大雨,今日行程早早结束,下午睡觉,那叫一个愉悦。21号:翻越库达坂,沿着河谷逆行到达牧民营地。库达坂雪深达到小腿中部。22号:风雪交加中翻越蒙达坂(雪深膝-大腿),俺的小脸算彻底毁了。翻第二座达坂时候天气不错(雪深小腿-膝盖),起了一阵大雾。今日走到计划的牧民营地。全天12小时,累惨了。晚上很冷,零下10度。装水的全结冰。23号:没选择走河谷,趟河一次后,翻越一个小达坂到达机耕路,顺路至金矿,沿峡谷向哈达坂前进,一路看景,晚6点至两座牧民房,扎营,一间六个,腐败吃饭,很爽地睡觉。24号:斗志昂扬地冲过哈达坂(雪深小腿-膝盖),高速下降200米,上机耕路,下午4点到达地质队营地,重回人间。队员由左至右:

这是一篇迟来的游记了。2010年的秋天,一帮朋友自己组了个团去川西,走的一个小环线。 那时候还是个户外菜鸟,装备什么的完全不专业,上牛奶海、五色海累得半死。现在专业多了,体力也好多了,今年已经准备登乞力马扎罗了。 川西的美在国内是独一无二的,它跟西藏、新疆略有区别,壮丽中带着秀美,应该是人一生必去的地方。 旅途的酸甜苦辣,在这个帖子里慢慢发出来跟大家分享。 当时在摄影上也是个菜鸟,刚刚买了个单反,完全属于入门级,只是有一腔对摄影的热情,照片比起很多大师简直就是到此一游的感觉,大家只有凑合着看咯~~~ 马上正式开始游记 第一次到川西,出行之前做了不少功课,特别关注亚丁景区的牛奶海和五色海,因为据说海拔高、路况差、风景好,需要徒步5个小时,路程极其艰苦,很少有人能上去,于是跃跃欲试,觉得此行最重要的目的就是挑战牛奶海。 冲锋衣、冲锋裤、登山鞋、登山杖、相机(550D+18-200mm,50D+16-35mm)、脚架,欢天喜地的开始了7天艰苦的旅程。 最喜欢这张照片,头像就是这张! D1 成都/雅安/泸定/丹巴 宿:丹巴(海拔1800米) 成都出发,经雨城雅安,感受雅安三绝——雅雨、雅鱼、雅女,翻越二郎山,穿越目前我国埋藏最深,海拔最高的公路隧道——二郎山隧道(2812M),过泸定,游览泸定铁索桥,至康定瓦斯沟口,经过瓦丹公路前往千碉之都——丹巴,隔大渡河观梭坡藏寨古碉楼。 极其无聊的一天,天气阴沉沉,加上超级堵车,除了在车上死睡其他什么也没干,翻过二郎山隧道已经是下午4点过,也没有特别感觉到隧道两头风光的不同。路上车子抛锚,修理半天,到达丹巴已快11点,没有任何高原反应…… D2 丹巴/八美/新都桥/雅江 宿:雅江(海拔2640米) 丹巴出发,前往游览甲居藏寨,参观藏族村寨,经八美,观八美变色石林,经塔公草原,抵达塔公寺,经过摄影天地新都桥,翻越高尔寺山(4412M),抵达藏乡小城雅江。 天气依然阴沉沉,一早前往甲居藏寨,所谓中国最美的村庄“之一”。 也就是大山上散落着一户户藏居,有多美我觉得真的谈不上,只是觉得这些人要出去一次太困难,这样的生活条件,就算是住在世界上最美的村庄也没有意义。 甲居藏寨 其间参观了一户藏居,三层,很漂亮的房子 三年前的俺,现在已经老得不行了 每家每户房顶上都很多玉米,金灿灿的 一家藏居门上贴着喜字,两只喜鹊停在房顶上,是喜事招来了喜鹊还是喜鹊带来了喜事 甲居藏寨只是一个开始,真正的川西风光这才逐渐到来 离开甲居藏寨之后,又是坐在车上翻天覆地的睡,中午在八美的一个草原用餐,吃了160元一斤的高原无鳞鱼,微微有了阳光,心情渐好 无鳞鱼火锅,我觉得还不错,就是价格太贵 又蹦又跳的,完全没把那儿当高原 塔公草原又是一个极其无聊的地方,完全被商业化,要不是一杯纯正的酸奶,这地方真是不值得去 川西的手工酸奶,5块一杯,好吃呀,现在都还在怀念 第二天晚上住雅江,一个依山傍水的小镇,环境还不错,依旧没有高原反应 D3 雅江/理塘/稻城/日瓦/亚丁 宿:亚丁村(海拔3740米) 早雅江出发,进入康巴高原,越剪子湾山(4659M)和卡子拉山(4718M),远观世界第一高城理塘(4010M),过毛垭大草原,后翻越兔儿山,过海子山(海拔5020M),观道路两旁壮观的古冰川遗迹,经小镇桑堆抵达稻城。翻越波瓦山,观高原峡谷、看赤土河风光,观万亩杨树林,经日瓦乡,抵达亚丁村。真正的美景,以及真正与高原的战争都是从今天才开始。 这一天翻越3座海拔四千以上的高山,天气依旧不好,但幸运的是下雪了…… 第一座山,小雪 高原厕所,设施简陋,价格不菲 第二座山,大雪,雾蒙蒙的能见度很低 雪厚得已经可以没到脚踝 远处一大群牦牛,我顾不上高原不易奔跑,兴冲冲的飞奔而去~ 我妈也深一脚浅一脚尾随我来看牦牛 到兔儿山是下午,已经没有雪了,风很大,五根脚指头不死死抓着地好像就要被吹跑 因为远处山上有一个像兔耳朵一样的石头,因此此山名为“兔儿山”。很佩服取名字的人。 在路途上看到的风景,太美了 一路上很多援藏的军车,雄赳赳气昂昂,以非常慢的速度挡住一大堆急得要抓狂的自驾车队 前面一个军车翻了,大家都下来救援。总之一路上见到车祸无数,自驾川藏线难度真是不小 晚上到达亚丁村,之前听闻亚丁村住宿条件很差,但没想到差到这种程度,十几个人睡一个房间,里面有上下铺,有通铺,各个房间之间用木板相隔,完全不隔音,客厅里烧着炭火,房间里烟雾缭绕,加上高原反应,一行人都几乎一夜未眠。 D4 仙乃日/络绒牛场/亚丁 宿:亚丁村(3740米) 早起抵达亚丁村,换马上冲古,游览冲古寺。观北峰“仙乃日”——观世音菩萨(6032M),南峰“央迈勇”——文殊菩萨(5958M),东峰“夏郎多吉”——金刚手菩萨(5955M)三座神山,朝拜卓玛拉措——珍珠海(徒步),畅游络绒牛场。 去之前看了一些游记,挺唬人的,说得要上牛奶海多么可怕,纵使昨夜未眠,今天我还是坚信自己能走上去。 今天本来的行程安排:景区大门——冲古寺(此段骑马);冲古寺——络绒牛场(此段电瓶车);络绒牛场——牛奶海、五色海(徒步) 但很失策,早上出门晚了,骑马早已排成了长队,没有几个小时排不到,无奈,大家只有徒步往冲古寺走,这段路风景很好,费掉一格体力走走也值得。 等候骑马的队伍([]
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。([]

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 evalsuate 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([]
