安娜普尔纳保护区,是尼泊尔最负盛名的自然景区,也是世界上最适合徒步旅行的地方之一。其中安娜普尔纳大环线(Annapurna Circuit TREKking,简称ACT)是世界十大徒步线路之首,沿途可以看到玛纳斯鲁、道拉吉里和安娜普尔纳三座8000米级的山峰,也是目前世界上成熟徒步线路中海拔落差最大的一条。一路上从茂盛的丛林,目不暇接的水瀑到高山草甸,再到寸草不生的垭口,尤其是在冬季,被一片冰雪世界覆盖,那纯净无瑕的美丽,无时无刻不萦绕在思忆中。一路上遇到的一个个鲜活的脸孔,时常浮现在眼前,这场孤独却又似狂欢的旅行让我每每忆起时,总是心底阵阵温暖,嘴角也不经意泛出一丝笑容。我的旅行,多半是没有计划的,走到一处,就安留一处,这大概就是流浪吧,而行山,也是我流浪的一种方式,一种最纯粹的方式。完成珠峰南坡(我们常称为EBC)的徒步后,在加德满都浑噩了两天,加都的喧嚣和琳琅满目的商品对我没有丝毫诱惑力,EBC之行像是一场前戏,挑拨着我更为强烈的欲望,在这个号称“徒步者天堂”的国度,没有什么比远足徒步更容易带来快感了。EBC之行,结识了很多朋友,鸡哥,小熊,小白,大嘴,还有下山后在龙游认识的大旻和大胖妞,下山那天是农历元宵节,向日葵色板官方一帮中国人聚在一起,大家都喝得酩酊大醉,发生了不少闹剧,可我始终相信,每个人都是可爱的。2012年春节EBC向日葵色板官方的队伍,认识了这么多可爱的朋友,是一辈子宝贵的财富。一个月的证,只用了一半,我告诉大家,我要用剩下的时间去安娜看一看,于是和他们一个个道别,自行一人开始了这场孤单而又难忘的旅行。从博卡拉出发,第一晚因为西藏的归属问和西班牙人托尼产生争执,他说他打算枪杀我;在Deurali遇到老狼、小雪一行人,于是结伴同行,在MBC和小雪过了一个勉强还算浪漫的情人节,后来和大家在himalaya分手,继续独自上路;为了传说中的“天体温泉”,从Ghorepani几乎爬行到了Tatopani;抵达Muktinath的时候才发现牛逼大了——我把这条线路走反了,而面临的问是要从Muktinath爬升1800米翻越陀龙垭口,一路上都没有休息点,更要命的是,喜马拉雅山区刚刚送走一场巨大暴风雪,所有人都觉得我会死在路上的时候,Hotel Bob Marley的老板Angela建议我可以试试;在Mangna遇到了非常善良的法国大姐Val,她一年要从法国飞尼泊尔三次,只是来安娜帮她开客栈的当地朋友干活;路上又遇到了之前在ABC相遇的长的很像奥巴马的背夫;快下山的时候遇到在迪拜打工,送儿子去上学的Sandas,他和他哥哥在Besi很热情的招待我。这篇游记只是一个故事,算不上攻略,因为我很乌龙的把这条线路走反了!小邦在尼旅行时间较长,所以对尼泊尔的旅游比较熟悉,有需要的朋友可以咨询我,在此提供一个交流的平台,QQ群197672948此次的行程大概是这样的:2月10日 加德满都——博卡拉2月11日 博卡拉——Phedi——当普斯——Landruk2月12日 Landruk——Chhomrong——Sinuwa2月13日 Sinuwa——Bamboo——Dovan——Himalaya——Deurali2月14日 Deurali——MBC——ABC——MBC2月15日 MBC到Chhomrong2月16日 Chhomrong——Tadapani——Ghorepani2月17日 Ghorepani——Poon Hill——Tatopani2月18日 Tatopani——Ghasa——Jomsom——Muktinath2月19日 Muktinath2月20日 Muktinath——陀龙垭口——High camp2月21日 High camp——Manang2月22日 Manang——Lower Pisang——Chame2月23日 Chame——Tal——Chamche2月24日 Chamche——Syange——Besi Shahar2月25日 Besi Shahar——加德满都个人装备:背包:Gregory T60,强氧胸包鞋袜:mont-bell登山鞋,凉鞋,coolmax袜子一双,迪卡侬徒步袜三双衣服:迪卡侬防风软壳,CARAVA Plartec抓绒衣,Carava棉衣,迪卡侬航海系列抓绒裤,Carava冲锋裤,Carava速干排汗内衣帽子:始祖鸟毛线帽,Mammut速干帽手套:迪卡侬滑雪手套睡袋:天石格拉丹东登山杖:鲁宾逊T3E,BD Trail各一根照明:Black Diamond Spot头灯,备用电池n节眼镜:高特近视偏光眼镜,高特雪镜炉头:火枫便携炉头餐具水具:火枫202套锅,乐扣保鲜盒日常用品:洗漱包,迪卡侬收纳袋,SPF30+防晒霜,卫生纸,笔记本,字笔,瑞士军dao猎人,Carava雪套,迪卡侬防水手表药品:急救包,板蓝根,云南白药喷雾剂,医用纱布,新黄片(或其他消炎药)证件:身份证,护照,1寸照片4张通讯:Moto Defy三防手机,充电器相机:尼康D3100 在MBC看到的玛查普彻峰,也就是向日葵色板官方常说的鱼尾峰。 纠正一下,这不是安娜普尔纳1峰,是Nilgiri South峰,海拔6839米。 在Muktinath看到的世界第七高峰,道拉吉里峰,海拔8167米。 玛纳斯鲁峰,世界第八高峰,海拔8153米。 在Chhomrong看到的玛查普彻峰,实际上它是由两座山峰组成,看上去像鱼的尾鳍,所以向日葵色板官方通常称它为Fishtail,也就是鱼尾峰了。 安娜普尔纳大本营(Annapurna Base Camp),也就是著名的ABC了。 Himalaya,和老狼、小雪一行人。 清晨Poon Hill上望见安娜普尔纳南峰。 通往陀龙垭口的路。 通往陀龙垭口的雪路。https//player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNTEwNjEzMDU2/v.swf横切雪坡。 通往陀龙垭口的路。https//player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNTEwNTk3NTA4/v.swf垭口的大风,在High camp遇到的美国人看了这个视频,说,“Sounds like hell.” 世界上最大的垭口——陀龙垭口,海拔5416米。https//player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMzU4MTk1NTI4/v.swf冒着极寒和风雪拍下的这个视频。 因为是冬季,陀龙垭口到High Camp的Tea House(休息点)都关闭了。 从垭口到High Camp的路上积雪非常厚,最深的地方几乎齐腰。 安娜普尔纳二峰著名的“Monkey Face”,因为山体看上去像人脸而得名。 安娜普尔娜 3峰。 Pisang附近一处很光洁的雪坡,还能清楚看到雪崩的痕迹。 2月10日加德满都到博卡拉加德满都到博卡拉的旅游大巴是早上7点钟出发,我当然不愿意牺牲我宝贵的睡眠,顺便又可以感受一下当地的风土人情,所以本地巴士对我来说也是一个很不错的选择,在加德满都吃完午饭,我赶上了下午2点去往博卡拉的班车,尼泊尔的大巴多数都是印度的TATA牌汽车,性能谈不上好,但是非常结实,我个人还是喜欢坐本地巴士,至少我基本上一路都是睡过去的,晃晃悠悠直到晚上10点才抵达博卡拉,然后打了个车到湖滨区(Lakeside),在唐人餐厅要了个炒饭,碰上一个拉客的当地人,于是以300卢比的价格住在了一家Guest House,条件比较简陋,忘了叫什么名字。要说博卡拉的住宿,穷游的话我个人推荐Hotel Khukuri,我曾经在旺季的时候和老板讲价到400卢比,床很大,还有大阳台。 这是个寂寥的月圆之夜,这个号称尼泊尔第二大城市的博卡拉,看上去不过像一个小镇,我在房间翻看在加德满都买的安娜徒步地图,顿时傻眼了,发现地图上错综复杂有着大大小小十几条线路,这显然比EBC的情况要复杂的多,我瞬间不知该如何下手,于是问了一下客栈老板,他建议我从当普斯开始,我没有想太多,就采纳了他的建议。 清晨的费瓦湖也是匆匆一瞥,博卡拉是号称“南亚小瑞士”的浪漫艳遇之所,在我看来,这远没有西藏的“一措再措”大气,倒是显得小资许多。我无心留恋这个地方,打听了一下去当普斯的车,要倒三趟巴士才到,我狠了下心,干脆叫了辆出租车。 这个司机说600卢比可以把我拉到Phedi,相对半个小时的车程,这已经算很便宜了,他问我办好徒步手续没有,我原本是打算走捷径,但想想这事有伤国体,就干脆让他带我分别去两个办公室办理Permit(许可证)和Tims Card(全称为Trekkers Information Management System,意为徒步者信息管理系统),许可证2000卢比,Tims Card 20美金,折合成人民币差不多近300大元,瞬时感觉心在滴血。另外给了司机600卢比小费,因为他陪我办手续等了很久。 Phedi到当普斯有盘山公路,但是费用比较高,我选择自行走小径上山,这是一个比较陡的坡,有一段时间没有负重徒步了,所以没走多久就喘的不行。 爬上了山坡,回头望去,全是一片梯田和河流的景貌,让人无法想法这里地处于喜马拉雅南麓。 沿途当地人的小洋房,博卡拉是个相对比较富饶的地方。 去往当普斯的路上,沿途尽是这样的路。 这个大姐打完电话后,似乎若有所思。 路上遇到一个奥地利老头和他的向导,我才知道大部分徒步客都选择从Nayapul作为徒步的起点,走当普斯的实在是少。 找老头代劳给我拍了一张。 这可真是徒步的好天气啊。([]

《寻找贡嘎最佳摄影点的八天七夜》[一] 既然无法逃脱,那就让向日葵色板官方走得更近一点!很多年以前,我第一次走在川西的大地上。新都桥傍晚的暮色中,我回头东望,赫然一排闪着银光的雪山漂浮在空中。我仍然记得,那时我恍惚的神情。后来,有人说,那就是贡嘎。那一年,是2007年。此后的每一年,那漂浮的雪山就一直萦绕着我。2008 年夏天的高尔寺垭口,我终于第一次把贡嘎的群山摄入了我的镜头。我清晰地记得,2008年夏天的早晨,高尔寺山垭口的晨雾中,远处那刺破苍穹的群峰。那一年,我知道,这就是贡嘎。2009年的夏天,川藏南线上留下了我十五天的足迹。这一年,我到了黑石山,找到了《中国国家地理》上那经典的贡嘎群山的摄影位置。《中国国家地理》的摄影师们给这里起了个神秘的名字:贡嘎黑石城。那一天,我也把云雾中的贡嘎群山收入了我的镜头。也就是在这一年,我对自己说:我要穿越贡嘎。也是在2009年,秋天。一次公差的机会让我重返了川西,我再一次来到了海螺沟,终于看到了蓝天下一览无余的贡嘎。可是,我至今仍然不知道,海螺沟冰川上的雪山是不是就是贡嘎的主峰?(查过一些资料,有说是,有说不是,希望8264上的高人给我一个明确的答案。)虽然在海螺沟看到的贡嘎是迄今为止我看到的最坦露的贡嘎,可我心不甘,毕竟那是海螺沟。2010年,我走了阿里大环线,贡嘎又一次留在了身后。记得在阿里的路上,我对我的朋友说:下一站是贡嘎。时间到了2011年,我却又一次把我一年中的唯一休假给了甘青川大环线,完成了我五年藏地的全部计划。可贡嘎,还是又一次虚无漂渺地漂浮在空中,漂浮在我的心头。所幸的是,2011年的十月金秋,在我甘青川大环线回来的三个月后,一个突然而至的机会完成了我多年的夙愿:拥抱贡嘎!五年以来,无论是在新都桥的暮色中,还是在塔公的草原;无论是在高尔寺山的垭口,还是在去居里寺的路上;无论是在二郎山的大渡河边,还是盘桓在剪子弯山;无论是在子梅垭口,还是在玉龙溪的泉华滩;145座5000米以上的雪峰簇拥着的贡嘎主峰,总会在你不经意间突然闯入你的视野。那种君临天下的气概,即便在几百公里之外,你都无法逃脱。既然是无法逃脱,那就让向日葵色板官方走得更近一点! [二] 贡嘎的最佳摄影点既然是无法逃脱,那就让向日葵色板官方走得更近一点!一直以来,磨房上墨汁的经典贡嘎让一批批的驴友朝圣般地走向贡嘎,我也不例外。但我更欣赏《中国国家地理》摄影师们的严谨,那一幅幅精美的照片和照片背后的故事促使我在金秋的十月背起了行囊。我要找寻他们的足迹。八天七夜的时间里,我列了个单子,妄想把贡嘎的最佳摄影点一网打尽。贡嘎的最佳摄影点:1、子梅垭口2、子梅垭口去子梅村的盘山路上3、贡嘎寺4、泉华滩5、玉龙溪垭口(雅哈垭口)6、黑石山7、高尔寺山垭口8、牛背山而这其中,黑石山和高尔寺山垭口拍摄的贡嘎群峰已收录在了我2009年的镜头中;牛背山虽然在近几年让许多摄友蜂拥而至,但毕竟云雾莫测又远距离于主峰,我不想让有限的时间白白浪费,所以,这次的行程,我选择了前面五个摄影点。[三] 八天七夜的行程设计尽管是十月,一个欣赏川西秋色和贡嘎主峰美好的季节,但出发前的天气让向日葵色板官方忐忑不安,八天七夜的天气预报上尽是一个个阴沉的脸,这让向日葵色板官方的脸也一路阴沉沉的。为了确保能看到主峰,在行程的设计上,向日葵色板官方是三过子梅垭口,并且在子梅垭口下山后,走玉龙溪到甲根坝,这样的好处就是在几天的行走日子里,贡嘎主峰会一直跟随着向日葵色板官方。行程:D1新都桥D2新都桥—九龙D3九龙—伍须海—日鲁库草原—上木居—子梅垭口—上木居(一过子梅垭口看傍晚日照金山)D4上木居—子梅垭口—上子梅村—贡嘎寺(贡嘎主峰山脚)—上子梅村—子梅垭口—玉龙溪(早晨二过子梅垭口,傍晚三过子梅垭口)D5玉龙溪—泉华滩—玉龙溪垭口(雅哈垭口)—新都桥—康定D6康定—木格措—黄龙溪古镇D7黄龙溪古镇—成都D8成都宽窄子巷在以上的行程中,三过子梅垭口让我们终于看到了贡嘎那君临天下的气概和浩瀚的云海;而在泉华滩,我们找到了中国国家地理摄影师拍摄并入选《中国国家地理 选美中国》贡嘎群峰的相片的位置,复制了一张几乎相同的相片。如果有人问我,八天七夜的日子里,哪些景色留下了最美的记忆?毫无疑问,那就是一路相随的贡嘎,尤其是在子梅垭口和垭口去上子梅村的盘山路上的贡嘎主峰以及泉华滩上拍摄的贡嘎群峰。当然,除了贡嘎,留给向日葵色板官方美好印象的还有在新都桥遇到的川西今年的第一场暴雪、伍须海的惊艳和新都桥甲根坝的秋色。。。而向日葵色板官方的故事,还得从第一晚新都桥不期而至的暴雪说起。。。 [四] 如果有一天,我老无所依,请把我埋藏在川西的秋天里故事暂且不表,先上几张沿途的PP解解馋。其实,到了新都桥的第一个晚上,川西下了一场暴雪,这也是川西今年的第一场大雪。这场暴雪是向日葵色板官方事先没有预料到的,最深处居然有50CM厚度。当时,向日葵色板官方都傻眼了,向日葵色板官方甚至害怕被困在新都桥,甚至萌发了改变行程的想法,因为向日葵色板官方不确定向日葵色板官方的越野车是否能安全地抵达贡嘎。所幸向日葵色板官方坚持了下来,而随后的一路美景让向日葵色板官方语无伦次:川西的秋色掩映在冬雪之中,片片金色映衬着雪白的世界;而雪后的贡嘎是那么纯净,天是那么湛蓝。感谢川西的暴雪,让向日葵色板官方在秋天的季节里看到了冬天的景致,看到了雪后的蜀山之王。当然,随之得出的结论就是:草人,人品真好!在一路的美景中,同行的耗子情不自禁地高歌:如果有一天,我老无所依,请把我埋在春天里!高反,让我这兄弟已分不清是春天还是秋天了。可是,这是秋天还是冬天呢?我也不知道。我只知道,如果有一天,我老去,请把我埋藏在川西,那是一件幸福的事情。子梅垭口仰望贡嘎主峰子梅垭口到上子梅村的盘山路上的马帮和贡嘎主峰旗云、主峰和牦牛 旗云和主峰夕照下的贡嘎云海泉华滩——复制了一张中国国家地理摄影师拍摄的贡嘎群峰伍须海——惊艳的秋雾 伍须海—秋天的色彩伍须海—雾松伍须海的松萝伍须海—秋天的邀请 甲根坝的冬雪世界 楼上的二位大姐大。到底是谁不带谁去啊?西湖的甘青川与向日葵色板官方同一时间却与向日葵色板官方背道而驰,之后又悠哉悠哉去了微笑的柬埔寨;茗禅在向日葵色板官方去甘青川时又一次冒充强驴穿越莲花湖到了贡嘎;抛下吾等三只懒驴,只好乖乖地不拖大姐大们的后腿孤独地在贡嘎自恋一番。还有楼上的本色兄,阿里回来之后,老是想起他那机关枪一样的声音:ISO200,光圈11,暴光减一档。。。估计玛多的惊魂不能让他停止继续前进的脚步。最可气的是成都那二妮子,在康定时,我和达华给她们打电话想让她俩赏给向日葵色板官方一杯成都的功夫茶以庆祝向日葵色板官方胜利穿越贡嘎,没想到她们却跑到九寨去了,害得向日葵色板官方只能在双流独自彷徨,达华甚至忧伤地唱起了:“哥哥找妹泪花流,不见阿妹心忧愁;一路一回头,只好流浪到双流;到了阿妹家门口,阿妹却在九寨沟”。沙德途中朋布西朋布西九龙秋色鸡丑山下人家,让我想起了亚丁和雨崩。日鲁库草原的水 云海光影中的达华贡嘎云海 藏族人家—拍摄于玉龙溪藏族妇女—拍摄于玉龙溪 泉华滩—拍摄贡嘎群峰的绝佳之处贡嘎寺。贡嘎寺是欣赏贡嘎主峰的最佳位置,可惜云雾遮掩。冰河的前端就是主峰的山脚,也是登山大本营。玉龙溪雅哈垭口的贡嘎 甲根坝的秋天新都桥—秋天的请柬 瓦泽—秋天的倒影 瓦泽—秋天的张力折多山木格措([]

新西兰游玩思路Well, well, well……前面我说了,只要情况允许,无论如何你得有一辆车。地广人稀的意思,就是公共交通不发达。新西兰也用不着发达,它的汽车普及率是全球第二,许多家庭都拥有一辆以上的汽车,而稍远一点的地方,就坐发达的国内航线飞过去了,飞机场跟中国大城市的汽车站一般大小。新西兰可以玩的东西很多,随意列举:水里的——冲浪,漂流,皮划艇,观鲸观海豹,潜水,钓鱼,游轮空中的——跳伞,滑翔伞,蹦极,观光飞行陆地的——自驾,观星,徒步,登山,或者干脆什么也不干,仍是一种舒服的玩法列出向日葵色板官方南北岛30天自驾所去过的地方给大家做参考:南岛——1、MountCook库克山库克山是向日葵色板官方南岛自驾的第一站,来这里的人几乎都会去Hooker Valley track胡克谷步道做往返3小时的徒步。只有走在这条徒步小路上才能完整的看到库克山。四周雪山高耸,路边开着各种鲜花,路过冰湖与吊桥,到达库克山脚下的冰湖后,向日葵色板官方一直等到太阳下山才往回走,是那天最晚离开库克山脚下的游客,回营地的途中,黑暗里看不清路的兔子乱窜,差点撞到向日葵色板官方脚上来。 2、Lake Tekapo蒂卡普湖由于经纬度的关系,Lake Tekapo是南半球最适合观星的地方。除此之外被高耸入云的南阿尔卑斯山环绕的蒂卡普湖是拥有绿宝石般清澈湖水的高山湖泊,景色美得让人窒息。向日葵色板官方并没有专门去找坐落于湖边的牧羊人教堂,而是把车停在树荫下,悠哉的煮起了面吃。吃完准备打个盹,一群鸭子跑到车门前打招呼:不好意思,我们要睡觉了,没工夫social噢。3、阿卡罗阿借宿在友人位于普劳湾的房子里,在一个下雨天翻山越岭的去传说中很像法国小镇的阿卡罗阿看看。由于火山喷发形成的圆形半岛上,山路起伏多弯,雨水并不能遮掩既壮丽又秀美的景色。一路美景相伴,走走停停,开三四个小时到达阿卡罗阿已经不是最重要的目的了,喝上一杯咖啡稍作休息,又往回开进美景中。4、凯库拉凯库拉是南岛著名看鲸鱼和海豹的小镇,当沿着1号公路向北开时,注意路边出现画着海豹的警示,就可以挑地方停车了。有时候顽皮的海豹们会跑到靠近路边的草丛里,当向日葵色板官方靠近,它们就侧着头看上好一阵才跑回海边的礁石。南岛还有别的地方也能看到海豹,但能这么近距离接触的,凯库拉是首选。5、亚伯塔斯曼国家公园亚伯塔斯曼国家公园是新西兰最适合做海边徒步的地方之一,公园内有一条很有名的步行道叫做Abel Tasman Coast Track,全程55.2公里,走完需要3-5天,水上的士停靠在沿途许多沙滩。向日葵色板官方计划走3天,完成2/3的路程,徒步时很长一部分时间是行走在长满巨大蕨类植物的海滨雨林小道,隔一段能看到湛蓝的美丽海景,每天正常人4小时的脚程被爱拍照的向日葵色板官方走成6小时,不知不觉三天过去了,坐水上的士1小时就回到三天前的起点。1小时=3天。但如果不是慢慢的徒步,决然领略不到新西兰如此海岸美景。6、西海岸风光来过新西兰的人,十有八九都说西海岸美。到底是怎么样的美呢?塔斯曼海面吹来的暖气流被南岛中部的高山拦截,形成绵绵不绝的雨水,于是整个西海岸都是一派雨林气息,这里树干长着漂亮青苔的高大树木会跳舞,由于海风的关系,又集体被吹斜到一边,蕨类则铺满低一层的地面。羊群,牛群和鹿群见惯了常年堆积的迅速变幻的雨云,面对向日葵色板官方对这般景色的连连惊叹,始终都是很淡定。 7、 Franz Josef Glacier & Fox Glacier冰川探险是南岛旅游的重头戏,Franz Josef 冰川在毛利语中叫做“雪崩女孩的眼泪”。Fox冰川全长13公里,汇集了四座高山冰河的降雪。冰川徒步是游玩Franz Josef冰川和Fox冰川的最佳方式。可以在当地报名参加徒步冰川探险项目,也可以参加直升机之旅来领略新西兰最高的几大山峰的壮丽美景。但向日葵色板官方觉得新西兰这两号冰川略小,打着以后去巴基斯坦做冰川徒步的算盘,远远的跟它们打了声招呼就开往了下一站。8、Mount Aspiring National Park阿斯帕林山国家公园从西海岸开往Wanaka的道路必须穿过阿斯帕林国家公园,这座生长着茂密的新西兰特有的雨林树木的国家公园惊人的美!车子行驶在密林中间,我们总是有一种穿越的感觉,希望一直这么开下去不要到达终点。阿斯帕林国家公园里也有很棒的徒步路线,但向日葵色板官方并不打算停留,因为多雨气候的缘故,路面常有塌方事件,所以向日葵色板官方必须在封路之前穿过。车子一开出山区,豁然开朗,向日葵色板官方就知道美妙的雨林已经在向日葵色板官方身后了,由于阿斯帕林这些高山挡住了雨水,向日葵色板官方前方的平原夕阳正浓,开到哈威亚湖时,一条前所未有的鲜亮彩虹骑在湖面,高兴的与我们相见。9、Wanaka瓦纳卡湖Wanaka湖上太适合做各种水上运动了,买个大冰激凌往草地上一坐,就可以欣赏水上飞人项目(风筝冲浪者),人们三三两两的坐在一起享受夏日,假如你想喂海鸥,把食物往空中抛会帮助你喂得更拉风一点,三五十只海鸥会张开翅膀聚拢在食物能抛到的领域,尽量在空中保持平衡与静止,同时又以最快的速度争抢食物。10、Oamaru奥玛鲁奥玛鲁(Oamaru)又叫“企鹅镇”,有新西兰特有的黄眼企鹅和世界上最小的企鹅,蓝眼企鹅。在奥马鲁游客中心,有一个小花园是公园为企鹅搭建的,可以通过小窗口了解企鹅孵蛋,当然是收费的。我们尽量赶在企鹅归巢之前到达营地扎好帐篷,先赶去看归家较早的黄眼企鹅,再去看夜幕降临之后才归家的蓝眼企鹅。蓝眼企鹅才巴掌这么大,萌翻了……11、Moeraki摩拉基Moeraki Boulders公园需要自觉往入口处的钱箱中投入2新币,海滩上散布着许多摩拉基巨石,极其圆,还有像蛋黄一样的石心。网上查到退潮时间是早上,到达的时候已经聚集了很多游客,大家变着各种法儿与石头合影,在上面蹲的跳的,钻到石头缝里假装悟空的…… 12、Dunedin但尼丁Dunedin是南岛第二大城市,也是Otago地区首府。这里曾是新西兰最富有的城市,有很多富有历史感的建筑。从古典维多利亚建筑的火车站开始,沿着城内步行道就可以开始但尼丁建筑遗产之旅。St Clair海滩很适合等待日落,也可以背着冲浪板挑战这里的海浪。Dunedin也是吉百利巧克力工厂的总部所在地,目前已经开放成为游乐园性质的博物馆,据说电影《查理的巧克力工厂》就由此得到灵感。在这里不仅可以了解巧克力的历史,亲自体验吉百利的色香味,还能见到壮观的巧克力瀑布。但向日葵色板官方大部分时间都花在半岛上,先跑去皇家信天翁基地探望了威风的信天翁们,又贼心不死的在落日之前赶去桑德弗莱湾,穿过海滩走到半山腰的小木屋,继续看黄眼企鹅。13、Nugget Point纳吉特角从纳吉特角停车场走20分钟,就可以看到陡峭山岬上设的灯塔,岸边不远散布着很多岩石小岛。海豹们休息在岩石上,不过都离得太远。倒是有许多鸟,成双成对的疾飞嬉戏,练习飞翔。新西兰虽美却气候恶劣,但无论如何对于生活在这里的动物而言,没有人类过多的打扰,只需要面对自然界的挑战,总是幸运的。14、Slope Point斜坡角天哪,这里的风大得啊!到达真正的Slope Point,需要从停车场经过私家农场的Track小路,步行20分钟。前往时最后一半的路程,完全是风推着向日葵色板官方走。而快要到达终点立牌的地方时,是无论如何也无法走直线了,稍有不慎人就被风吹着跑。一开始觉得冷哆哆嗦嗦,后来被风吹嗨了,向日葵色板官方都张开双臂像鸟儿一样逆风往前冲,笑声跟向日葵色板官方本人一样跌跌撞撞的被风吹散,足足吹了快半小时,过足了瘾才往回走。15、Bluff小镇哎,今年的生蚝节是5月14号。看到路边的大招牌,大口大口的咽口水。Bluff,新西兰最南端的小镇,出产被誉为世界上最美味的生蚝。好想吃啊好想吃啊!非生蚝季不推荐来这里,会被馋坏的……16、Te Anau蒂阿瑙湖蒂阿瑙湖就像一块湛蓝的宝石。在i-site隔壁,可以在RealJourney公司报名乘坐游船前往Glowworm Caves(萤火虫洞)。17、Milford Sound米尔福德峡湾南岛自驾途中向日葵色板官方最期待的一个地方之一。从西海岸拐向Wanaka之后,米尔福德峡湾是唯一再能看到雨林美景的地方了。汽车开过一段幽暗隧道,一出隧道口,270度环绕的群山,下雨的关系,大概每隔十米就有一两米宽的小瀑布,从山顶倾泻而下,几乎上百道之多。完全就是现实版的《霍比特人》里精灵居住的地方。向日葵色板官方每隔一小段距离就停车拍照,希望长焦能拉到一两只精灵,向住在这里的它们表达诚挚的羡慕! 18、皇后镇皇后镇大概是新西兰最出名的地方之一了。Remarkables山脉,天台餐厅,观星,跳伞,蹦极……它集美景和各种户外极限运动体验地于一身,每个来南岛的人大概都不会错过它,以及镇上永远排满长队的Fergburger(大汉堡)。向日葵色板官方走在湖边拍照,一个吉他手卖命的演唱着,他的吉他盒上写着:为Fergburger!北岛——1、奥克兰奥克兰作为北岛自驾的出发地,是新西兰最大的城市,经济文化中心,新西兰的门户。这里有美丽的海港和岛屿,有着“风帆之都”的美名。周围的山峦尽是热带雨林风貌,有许多休眠火山。虽然奥克兰是新西兰人口最多的城市,但喧闹和拥挤却与这里无关,这里是宁静而迷人的城市。虽然奥克兰有很多可以去的地方,但由于时间关系,向日葵色板官方租好车后直接出城往南开去。2、霍比屯一直以为自己是《魔戒》《霍比特人》的死忠粉,结果听一位当地大叔说他们这里有人看了50遍霍比特人!这个人真的不是放电影的工作人员吗?!所以霍比屯,也就是电影里霍比特人的故乡夏尔的拍摄地,对向日葵色板官方来说还是有吸引力的。但是由于建在私人农场里,必须买票组团进入,限制了自由。而电影拍完之后明显疏于维护,菜园里的紫包菜,都长得有洗澡盆那么大了!我们还是把最美好的印象留在电影里吧…… 3、罗托鲁瓦想要了解毛利人的文化,这个城市是最好的选择。毛利文化村提供3个半小时的文化体验之旅,可以去看看关于毛利人的一切。但当我们赶到时,所有的团都订满了。正在消亡的毛利文化,是资本主义扩张的罪恶,也是一段忧伤的故事。4、怀基蒂地热公园罗托鲁瓦到怀基蒂这一片区域,到处都有地热现象,并不一定需要买门票进地热公园。向日葵色板官方就在一个不停冒热泡泡的泥巴池边上待了好久。但如果想看地热喷泉,就花钱买上门票去离地热公园开车还有20分钟的地方去,记住喷发时间是早上10点。 5、陶波湖Taupo湖是新西兰最大的内陆湖。湖光山色,美不胜收。向日葵色板官方在一块高地停车架好脚架准备拍合影,延时正要结束之际,镜头里突然窜出一个脑袋,原来是一个毛利小伙子从坡下辛苦的爬上来捡一块飞盘……于是变成3个人的合影。6、东格里罗国家公园末日火山是佛罗多实行摧毁魔戒任务的终点。电影演到这里的时候一波三折,末日火山的圆顶也频繁出现。向日葵色板官方站在鲁阿佩胡山的山顶平台时,脑子里老是回放那幅场景。这里就是末日火山的拍摄地,中土神话的终结地。这一站之后,向日葵色板官方就要开往惠灵顿,结束全岛的自驾之旅。 7、惠灵顿新西兰的首都是惠灵顿而不是奥克兰这件事,常常记混……但向日葵色板官方永远不会忘记离开前能将车吹晃的大风和瑰丽的晚霞,惠灵顿机场的出发大厅里,咕噜瞪着大眼睛在抓鱼,甘道夫骑着大鸟来为向日葵色板官方送行,新西兰之旅,令人享受至极。总结一下,向日葵色板官方的重点放在自驾和徒步这两件事情上面,在城市里停留很少。如果时间和预算允许的话,沿途还可以加入以下新西兰热门的体验式活动:皇后镇跳伞,漂流,蹦极等凯库拉观鲸观海豚福克斯或约瑟夫徒步,还可以坐直升飞机到冰川上面徒步阿斯帕林国家公园徒步奥玛鲁,但尼丁等地观看蓝眼企鹅米尔福德小径徒步陶波湖跳伞东格里罗国家公园徒步罗托鲁瓦毛利人村庄体验游怀托摩萤火虫洞自驾与徒步TIPS:正如我开篇所提,新西兰租车业发达,费用也低廉。驾照:使用中国驾照没问,但需要一份新西兰交通部授权的翻译件,可以在淘宝上办理,也可以找当地的代理,前者价格便宜一半。保险:大的租车公司基本建议上全险,向日葵色板官方租车的那间有三个选项,配的基本险不要另外交钱,00以上的车损才理赔,半险$15每天,0以上理赔,全险。保险费按照车型的不同会有小幅调整。导航:新西兰的公路条件非常好,国小人少,路完善,大地方基本不看地图也没问。向日葵色板官方没有带导航,手机上的谷歌地图就很完美。住宿:新西兰遍地都是露营地,部分需要预定。但有些只是房车营地,如果是汽车+帐篷的组合,要确认营地是否可以扎帐篷。营地分两种,一种是私营,厨房洗衣卫生间热水淋浴都有,电视房之类的公共活动区域也大;一种是DOC管辖的自助式,一般可能只有厕所和饮用水,自助缴费。此外Motel也遍地,若非圣诞这样重大的节日,很少会订不到房。条件更好的星级酒店也有不少。装备:新西兰天气变化非常快,即使是盛夏早晚温差也非常大。海边风大,应该备一件防风外套。如果夏天准备扎帐篷露营,建议最好带-5度的睡袋。实用网站:自然资源保护部的官网,上面几乎可以查到新西兰户外活动的一切信息,例如徒步路线与地图,露营地,国家公园,打猎活动,珍惜动植物等等的详细介绍:https//www.doc.govt.nz/新西兰营地大全,非常实用,向日葵色板官方都是当天提前几个小时在这个网站上找最近的合适的营地:https//www.rankers.co.nz/respectTop10和Holidayparks都是新西兰规模比较大的连锁营地,设施条件也比较好:https//www.top10.co.nz/https//www.holidayparks.co.nz/welcome 新西兰各处的潮汐预告,新西兰很多景点都需要事先了解潮汐时间才能看到:https//www.niwa.co.nz/services/online-services/tide-forecaster 新西兰旅游官网上有《霍比特人》和《指环王》的拍摄地介绍,喜欢的朋友可以按图索骥:https//www.newZEALand.com/cn/feature/lord-of-the-rings/https//www.newzealand.com/cn/feature/the-hobbit-trilogy-filming-locationss/ (下图至33楼均为哈威亚湖及周边美景)([]
〖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,我们正在从安博塞利返回内罗比的路上。“既然机场关闭,向日葵色板官方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,向日葵色板官方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,按原计划下午我们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,向日葵色板官方兵分两路: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,我们并没得到更多。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。我们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,向日葵色板官方便已远离内罗毕,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,我们的导游再三告诫,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。向日葵色板官方其实都是非洲后裔,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我们感觉新鲜,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向日葵色板官方的。”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向日葵色板官方,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,但我们还是睡着了。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。向日葵色板官方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。待我们一一进入,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。([]
早几年热起来的海岛游到2012年的时候我也跟了一把风年初星星老师就开始约伴,订廉价机票,制定行程,望眼欲穿地足足等待了近八个月后,向日葵色板官方8名来自长沙和郴洲的驴友终于从广州出境,登上了机身花里胡哨的亚航班机,在11月上旬完成了这次为期10天的巴厘岛\新加坡之旅......在巴厘岛上,向日葵色板官方走山观海、浮潜深潜、看日出日落、骑行乡村田园,在享受阳光、椰风、海韵的同时,将快乐传遍了库塔、罗威那、图兰奔、乌布和蓝梦岛......不知道是因为广州大雨还是别的什么原因,亚航的飞机也晚点了近一个小时,国内航空公司因此可以松口气了经过近四小时的飞行,红眼航班飞临吉隆坡 向日葵色板官方踏上马来西亚的土地为的是过境中转第一次接触马币 在宽大的机场餐厅里,,我要了杯马来西亚咖啡,吃了3个中国馒头,当然还是从长沙带去本来准备路上吃的......在这里得呆几个小时,因此可以摆摆POSE再次登上亚航的这种每排左右各三个座位,共计31排,座位有点挤,且不设商务舱的空客320--200型班机这是唯一一次空座率在三分之一左右的航班,后面十几排基本没人因为是廉价航班,亚航不提供任何免费的附加向日葵视频色板APP官网要了一小瓶水,收了我7元人民币向日葵色板官方这一路的天气超好,运气也!印度尼西亚是个千岛之国,因此看到的除了大海就尽是海岛浩淼大海中貌似蚂蚁的远洋巨轮蔚蓝的大海给人无限的遐想飞机下降,梦幻巴厘岛到了在巴厘岛的日子里,这种独特的印度尼西亚宗教建筑----我就把它叫做"劈开的塔"吧----随处可见,即便在普通百姓的民居里都是如此 从机场直接打的到库塔,来到向日葵色板官方先前在网上订好的酒店办理入住手续中......等待的过程中,一杯附送的冰镇果汁就端到了你的面前房间不大,却很干净,这在向日葵色板官方巴厘岛的每一处落脚点都是如此,给人的印象深刻除了民居每个旅店无一例外都有自己的小游泳池,放下行李,美女们迫不及待地就湿了身连浮潜的工具也提前试用了库塔海滩是观落日的好去处,当然不可错过晚霞灿烂醉人心这里的沙细如泥虽然不够白但踩在上面非常惬意静心坐在海滩上自然是一种上佳的休息方式在这里惟独不缺的肯定是浪漫!([]

丝绸之路是从兰州到喀什,途中经过甘肃,青海,甘肃,新疆。由于多方因素,主要还是俺比较懒,帖子基本处于停滞状态,对不住支持俺的朋友们。从第二部分的兰州开始,尝试了用摄像机和相机两种方式呈现旅途,所以在接下来的帖子会继续更新,不会直接跳到第三部分。俺也尝试用一种新的方式:视频+每日故事和感受配合一到多张照片,这样的方式来更新第二部分【踏寻 丝绸之路。这部分更新可能会持续一月之久,也正好是俺在新藏线的途中。第三部分【云端天路 新藏线会在途中完成,视频是必须的,因为太多人对天路新藏线,即世界海拔最高公路国道219,感到神秘和向往。游记打算继续沿用第一部分的游记方式来完成。俺继续努力,谢谢很多朋友一直以来的支持,感谢途中同行过的XDJMS,和途中帮助过俺的“陌生人”!谢谢你们,是你们给了俺继续前行的动力和信心!2012年8月11日 凌晨

--------------------------------------此分界线后,想哪说哪,拍啥贴啥,可能直播很久,具体多久,俺也不清楚,但绝不太监--------------------------------------《前传》 出发前,北京的十年很重要,容俺回顾下: 生命中不可磨灭的一个十年,此后就离俺远去,记录下俺的这个十年。 2011年冬的某个周末,滑雪追尾,韧带扭伤,休息了个把礼拜,想了很多,意识到要做的事太多;以前大部分时间都在为别人忙活,真正为自己那点子所谓的梦想并没多去把握,而是一再修正一再拖延,追其所以,可能并没那么洒脱,豁达,牵盼太多。 2012来了,奔三迫在眉睫,却依然…… 只是留下了很多快乐和追求快乐的心态。 02年来京求学正好10年,回顾十年,依稀记得那个刚背包迈出西站,仰望高楼车流,乳臭未干的青年。 光辉的大学留下一堆朋友和一道手腕疤痕和无尽的回忆素材与谈资; 未毕业,先在国内某原创动漫做了半年动画,年少轻狂选择离开技术,而现实的逼迫离开了最初的艺术梦想; 其后广告公司上班1年有余,中途和公司老板及朋友弄B2C,在人流中低头不见双脚的双井,开了家实体店,却因个人,网购方向,市场等尚未成熟,失败告终; 期间接着读广告学学位,那时脑袋进水,或是被门挤了,为了中途开饭店,学业未遂。饭店的关闭,至此经历着人生一段低估,无所事事,对生活惶恐,命运再次转折; 为了谋生,进入一家房产公司,在经济楼市低潮的07年底08年初,一个月卖出资产达千万的三套房子,可能即将荣升店长之时,似乎自己和自己又开了一个玩笑,选择了离开; 重整旗鼓继续从事广告,而这次选择了广告业务,大概半年,觉得不能默默无闻,选择离开; 随后一直经营着一家广告公司至今,客户也算行业内数一数二的,但为了内心那个声音,现今只能暂时关掉,断掉自己的后路,背水一战。 写这个经历,或许是想给自己一个放弃现在生活,重新开始的理由,只需要一个微不足道的理由。 记得当时还是看尼尔斯骑鹅旅行记的那个年龄,趴在家里书桌旁,眼望窗外,想着有一天我也要像尼尔斯一样去旅行,去看看这个世界。 所以走出了湖北,来到了北京求学,这么一来就是十年。 而今又回到了原点,依然怀揣着最初的梦想:是想去看看这个世界,看看自己生活的位置,看看外边的精彩和无奈。 也许一年也许两年,但肯定的是我再次和自己开了一个玩笑,一个让自己睡觉都能笑醒的玩笑。 等俺旅行回来,会去赡养父母,结婚生子,相妇教子。 这个十年于我最大的收获就是: 学会了对自己诚实!上段写的比较长,这一段用个词语总结下就是:不着调 《拼音》bùzháodiào 《解释》北方方言。 1 比喻说话、做事不着边际,不靠谱的把公司关掉,骑着单车深度环游中国; 2 形容一个生活在北京十年的80后,丢掉北京十年积淀的一切,去完成三十岁之前的一个梦想,从头开始。《 示例》关掉公司 峰子骑鹅环中国 俺叫它:圆梦之旅《主淫》 80后85前,小名:峰子,坐骑:白鹅。湖北襄阳人士。 十年来一直独居北京,热衷疯玩、瞎掰、自虐、骑车、徒步,行动迟缓于思想。《生活现状》 关掉公司的不着调旅行者。 多年的北京流浪生涯,从事过多种职业:学生,动画师,设计师,电子商务,饭店老板,房产经纪,广告业务,公司法人。《附属品》 新浪微博@骑鹅的峰子(同步直播)《时间》2012年4月 至 2013……2014…… 如果玛雅预言失败。。。感谢卡 钱不是问,没钱是有问的。北京户外2年有余,圈内认识不少领队和品牌代理,朋友都说,为何不找些赞助,曾也考虑过。但旅行本身是自由的一件事儿,不想自己的梦想太商业化,故不考虑商业赞助。 当然,一年半载的旅程,经济也是要考虑的。钱毕竟有限,所以如果您在俺途径的某个地方,只希望在不打扰到您的情况下,您能提供俺一个沙发,一个地板,抑或一个可供扎帐篷的角落,俺就泪牛满面了。 当然,俺最想结识的是途中遇见的每个朋友,这是您对俺最大的帮助!感谢卡:正面背面整理装备

Northern Wilderness, Solo Traverse of the Great Chang TangMr YANG Liusong, a Chinese who just finished the first solo traverse over Chang Tang by cycling from west to east in recorded human history, shared his stunning Expedition with all of us through the forum 8264 https//bbs.8264.com/thread-512349-1-1.html . In order to share his legendary journey with those who cannot read Chinese, I translate his story to English here, which has been approved by Mr YANG Liusong. Hope you guys enjoy it.为了让杨同学的传奇能让全世界的驴友分享,俺决定把杨同学的帖子翻译成英文。为了避免麻烦,俺先来个免责声明:1。杨同学不认识俺,也没有授权俺,如果他说不要翻译了那俺就随时终止;2。俺没有商业目的,译版版权归杨同学,俺啥也不要,也不承担法律责任;3。没有杨同学授权,不敢擅自发在国外网站,发在原帖处,荣誉归8264;4。俺英语水平有限,欢迎指正,欢迎转贴。 Northern Wilderness, Solo Traverse of the Great Chang TangBy Yang LiusongIt has been three months since I traversed the unpopulated region in the Great Chang Tang. 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 locations 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([]
