五台山,中国佛教第一圣地。位于山西省五台县境内,方圆五百余里,海拔三千米,由五座山峰环抱而成,五峰高耸,峰顶平坦宽阔,如垒土之台,故称五台。五台分别为东台望海峰,西台挂月峰,南台锦绣峰,北台叶斗峰,中台翠岩峰。五台之中北台叶斗峰最高,海拔3058米,素称“华北屋脊”。五台山除五大禅处外,名寺还有金阁寺和碧山寺等。碧山寺是五台山最大的十方禅寺,佛经称东、西、南、北、东南、西南、东北、西北、上、下为十方。十方禅寺是可以使各方名僧来作主持的禅院,又叫十方刹。五台山在隋唐时已经名声远播,宋以后,日本、印尼、尼泊尔等国的僧侣与五台山都有往来。从五台山源远流长的兴始发展中,向日葵色板官方不难看出它在四大佛山所占据的特殊地位。它不仅生动翔实的记录了中国佛教起落兴衰的过程,同时还展现了佛教文化的灿烂和进步。作为我国四大佛教名山之首的五台山,千百年来吸引了无数的游人。 东台:又称望海峰,台顶如鳌鱼脊,海拔2795米。 鸿门岩:海拔2500. 北台:叶斗峰(3061m),号称“华北屋脊” 中台:翠岩峰(2894m). 西台:挂月峰(2773米) 狮子窝 金阁寺 南台:锦绣峰(2474米) 大朝台线路 漫漫朝台路 包车从武汉与山西忻州砂河镇往返,单边行程约1200公里。这里友情提示下:考虑到湖北到达山西五台的火车票紧张加上队员多不方便转车,本次包车前往。但是最大的细节失误是没有预计到山西境内高速的本地规定是:大客车禁止夜间通行的时间与全国的不一样,当地高速规定:晚20:00--凌晨5:00禁止大客通行(与全国的规定凌晨2:00--5:00不同)。副领队:凡人 从砂河镇上鸿门岩。这里也友情提示下:五台门票目前168元,进山费100元,但这只是从台怀镇进入上五台的规定,而向日葵色板官方从砂河镇进入上五台,再从南台出来,没有任何收取门票和进山费用的地方。 鸿门岩 轻装东台往返东台眺望北台鸿门岩至北台,突遇8级狂风夹雨水以及大雾天气,重装沿山脊穿越几乎无法站立行走,同时狂风夹着雨水击打在全身,手上感觉如同冰雹击打,全身迅速失温,大雾中几乎难以看到前行的线路,原定的山脊和直切向上几乎不太可能。 当晚在北台挂单 第二天早上6:00全体24名队友北台合影,出发向中台。([]

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([]

一 2005年我第一次徒步,从哈熊沟到天池,晚上在水磨河边扎营。那时候我还年轻,健若走兽,批鳞带角,行走如风,没帐篷,没睡袋,没防潮垫,一件廉价冲锋衣盖着肚脐眼儿也能凑活一宿。夜里,同帐的驴友呼声震天,我睡不着觉钻出帐篷撒尿,抬头看见满天繁星从远处黑漆漆的雪山后面喷涌而出,在头顶汇聚成河,星光璀璨,如闪烁的原钻,美得让人忘乎所以,尿水洒了一鞋。 早晨,本色大哥指着那座雪山说:那就是博格达峰…… 那时候我对一座冰冷的雪山毫无兴趣。亿万年前,天地玄黄,宇宙洪荒,人类在巨兽横行的冰河时代,仓皇逃离茫茫冰川雪原,在荒芜的冻土和幽深的冰缝前噤若寒蝉,如今退化得没了野蛮的体魄和御寒的皮毛,居然又开始天天梦想着亲近雪山,总让人觉得虚伪可笑。 之后的很多年,我走了很多地方,累了、困了、停下来抬起头,那座雪山总是岿然立在远处,仿佛我故意缠着她,粘着她,一直围着她转。哪怕在城市里,天气好的时候,我堵在外环路上,抬起头,她依然静静的立在天边,对我若即若离,半推半就,搞的我很不淡定。登山界有个说烂的段子,说是有人问登山家希拉里为什么一生登山不止,他说:因为山在那里。这句话很有深意,但是我更喜欢拉条子的版本,他说山确实在那里,但是钱不在那里……。 这两年,我的半月板渐渐开始退化,走碎石路或者下山的时候偶尔的一下刺痛似乎在提醒我,鲜衣怒马,霸气侧漏,纵横江湖的好时光渐渐远去了。夜阑卧听风吹雨的时候,我常常对自己说,是不是该去那座雪山看看了?不管是藏着晦明剑谱还是闯王宝藏,她总该有个让人趋之若鹜的理由罢…… 二 今年端午节,我跟零红蝶穿越恰西-库尔德宁。途中他说,孙老师的博格达后山照片被GTX公司买走了,他很自鸣得意的给那张后来勾引了无数人前往博格达的照片命名为:“三峰并起插云寒”。我告诉他,不管云寒是谁,这个名字都非常之暴力猥亵。对此他很不屑,他说:我拥有的知识岂是你的想象所能及……。于是我识相的闭嘴了,群规第一条:永远不要挑战领队的权威。 坊间记载:零红蝶者,奇人也,脸黑、人瘦,臭屁,喜红衣,好女装,上知天文地理,下懂洗菜煮米,文能识图,武能下厨。携一众疯男癫女,奔走山莽之间,夜宿旷野之下。日行百里不露疲态,帐混数女不越雷池。此君年轻时头顶重发,神似马云,这两年不管脸型还是性格都渐向冯远征的方向一路狂奔去矣。零蝴蝶说,8月博格达五峰连穿,会彻底颠覆你对传统徒步的理解。 于是我不禁又想起孙老师的大作。那张照片上博格达峰在阳光下白雪皑皑,一层薄雾从山脚升起,两个行者眺望远山,画面感十足,宛若幻境。孙老师网名叫米东徒狼,名字狠,但人温和可爱。有次扎营完毕,大家喝了点小酒,就决定歌以助兴。起先孙老师害羞并不愿唱,后来不知道谁唱了首达坂城的姑娘,结果那块硬又平的石头不仅敲开了姑娘的心房,也彻底敲开了孙老师的歌喉,他连唱五首后突然停下来说:小猪,我嗓子马上就要开了……。孙老师跟我说,博格达是要去一次的,哪怕就那么远远的看着她也值得。 不管怎么说,三峰并起插云寒,终于也插得我下定了去博格达的决心。 三 当年傅青主率七剑下天山,拯救天下苍生;练霓裳肝肠寸断,一夜白头独上天山;卓一航,在雪山绝壁苦等优昙花开。武林高手不要脸的地方在于统统无视高反,上天山如上红山,闲庭信步,进退自如。我没有游龙剑也不会凌波微步,临行前还是慎重研究了一下这条纵跃天山的路线:五峰连穿,南起达坂城三个山村,北至白杨河三岔子沟,全程65公里。途径碎石达坂,夜宿登山营地,翻越简单达坂,由于海拔跨度大,草甸、冰川、碎石、河流、雪山、冰湖各种元素一应俱全,好在未来几日显示天气尚佳,穿越难度适中。 我简单评估了一下自己的能力,估计高反应该对我影响不大,但是考虑到膝盖依旧不给力,装备还是谨慎的控制在20kg。除了帐篷、睡袋、防潮垫、冲锋衣裤、抓绒衣裤外,一切从简。提前一天,联系江湖、飞翔、听雨一干吃货共商搭伙做饭之大计,顺带采购了馕、笋子和蘑菇,准备把“将一切线路走成腐败线”的原则贯彻到底。 整装完毕,已是夜半,倒头睡去,梦中又回到那片茫茫雪山,山下练霓裳白发如雪,宛若天仙,她对我说,长相厮守不若相望于江湖,留一点未了之情,彼此相忆吧……,不等我挽留,已飘然离去,消失在雪山之巅。我不禁悲从中来,泪如雨下,高呼:哥唯知徒步,不会登山也!醒来时,枕巾哭湿了一片……。 四 出发当日报有小雨,上车前却一直阳光明媚。夏天、拉条子、老虎,连带天体流两大掌门:南双鱼北不弃,纷纷前来送行,突然感觉如壮士断腕,陡增豪迈之气。和众英雄一一话别后,车一路南行。途径达坂城,江湖采购了些蔬菜和调料,江湖者,笑傲江湖是也,湖哥虽貌似藏民实为回民,次日便是肉孜节,算算江湖已闭关封斋一月有余,任督二脉俱开,体内真气游走,身轻如燕。江湖是有名的强驴,是这次长线的协作,捎带负责照顾两位外地女施主,白天赶路,晚上混帐,不舍昼夜,甚为辛苦。 下午六时许,车至三个山村,众人整装换乘卡车一路向北,小雨终于开始淅淅沥沥的飘下来,车外风大,和尚我被吹得烦躁不堪,挥手猛抽之仍不解恨。柏油路、机耕路都走完,再过几座水泥桥,卡车再无法前行,从这里旅途算正式开始了。第一天行程约5公里,海拔上升400米,算是热身顺带考察体能。零蝴蝶扬言若比他晚至营地20分钟者,斩立决!众驴不敢懈怠,紧随其后,天黑前悉数按时到达2号羊圈扎营。我挑了个上风上水的宝地搭好帐篷,趁着雨还未下大,忙与飞翔、江湖开始做饭。因江湖逢菜必放十三香,大厨资格被弹劾,由飞翔接手。飞翔是恰西就一起走过的大哥,体力虽然不强,但是性格温和,人品一流,厨艺上佳,尤数醋溜菜系堪称一绝。饭毕,风雨渐强,大家各自回帐休息。 夜晚,风雨交加,我扎营时偷懒未绑风绳,地钉扎的也浅,结果半夜大风吹得帐篷左摇右晃,帐内空间瞬间小了一半,我半梦半醒间对形势做了简单分析:一、睁眼看不到天空,说明帐篷还在;二、内帐贴在脸上,想是帐篷八成被吹塌了;三、实在太困,以上两条皆可忽略。遂继续昏昏然睡去矣。 五 次日,风息雨停,帐篷犹在,除了几个挂绳从地钉上脱落之外,还算坚挺。一夜大风之后,空气格外通透,远处的雪山清晰可见。老衲7点半起来开始收整,吃了一碗翔哥煮的奶粉泡馕,昨夜被风雨折磨损耗的功力顿时恢复,丹田一股热浪涌遍全身。9点半准时拔营,沿马道一路上行,今天的行程全程爬升,本来我已经做好了重装爬坡的心理准备,但是真正到背起包,迈开腿的时候,还是觉得有些英雄“气短”,走长线前期的调整和适应很重要,迷失的都市人要走的慢一点,等等自己的灵魂,徒步人则要不时等等自己的肉体,即使灵魂已经飞到了雪山之巅。我放慢速度,调整好步幅,每步都很小,但是不停顿。大约两公里后,我已经超到了零蝴蝶身后。 天山南坡雨水少,草木皆疏,略显荒凉,山里四下静谧,满耳朵都是风声,这是一段相对枯燥的路程,好在雪山就在那里,她让我迈出的每一步都坚定而有目的性。中午在4号羊圈休息,早上一共在山脊上走了8公里。我顺势坐在零蝴蝶旁边休息,他掏出鸡腿和萨其马,然后幽幽的对我说:没有鸡腿的死开,我毫不示弱的掏出牛肉干还以颜色。 搭伙的小伙伴们陆陆续续也到达了休息点,听雨依旧挑选了个大石块立刻躺展,估计是早上的爬升让她不太适应,我看这一路她逢石必躺。听雨是个单纯妹子,体力不算强,但是耐力很好,爱好徒步的女孩都有个共同的特点,就是性格好,这点在听雨身上尤为明显。当初在恰西的泥里蹚了一路,疲惫不堪,走到一个山包,众人指着对面的另外一个山包说,彼处若有人相衬,照相效果必佳,孰愿往?听雨闻言立刻报名,一路狂奔至对面山包,各种瑜伽抛斯摆起……。 听雨妹子热衷于拍跳跃的照片,每次拍之前和尚我都亲自施展轻功示范,但每次照出来的效果仍旧不佳,所以我断言听雨者,不善弹跳。怎料某次我在给听雨拍跳跃照片时,被飞翔抓拍了一张,照片上,这妮子居然高高腾空,姿势甚是轻盈飘逸,方知原来是我不善摄影也,呜呼! 徒步圈的女人分两种,一曰软妹子,一曰女汉子,软妹子全程靠强驴照顾,女汉子全程照顾别人,听雨介于两者之间,勉强算个软汉子吧。但是偶尔的,我神经错乱的那么一刻,会依稀记起赛里木湖边,清晨,第一缕阳光洒在湖畔,听雨站在朝阳下与景色浑然一体,不事雕琢,令人难忘…… 稍事休息,未等听雨把石板趟热,零蝴蝶已经啃罢鸡腿,背包准备出发了。从4号羊圈向左前方走,进入一条布满碎石的山沟,由于海拔的不断上升,草渐渐变得稀少,下午的路线基本就是一条很窄的碎石马道。我左腿膝盖吃不上力,导致右脚脚踝在碎石间很容易扭伤,所以无奈只好再次放慢速度。路线的强度也开始慢慢变大,除了马道渐渐变窄外,爬升也开始了。中途休息,传统穿越租用的马匹从身后超过来,碎石路让他们不堪忍受,马匹可以一直把运行李驮运到登山大本营。 面对眼前爬升200米,角度40度的碎石达坂,这次行程我第一次感觉到了压力。好在经过多年修炼,我已练成了大理延庆太子的绝学“一阳指铁杖神功”,要领是:双杖前探扎地,气聚天府穴,双臂支撑,一步完成。此神功被证明无坡不破,唯一的缺点是速度太慢,没走多久,身后哈密北山羊的几个武林前辈渐渐超过我走在前头。神功未施展几招,抬头发现零蝴蝶居然已经在坡顶俯瞰群驴,一副君临天下之势……。和尚我一想到我堂堂大理皇家御用神功居然不如他零蝴蝶的疯狗式走法,顿时气不打一处来,遂催动内力,手杖扎地犹如捣蒜,一口气爬到坡顶,累的险些一口鲜血喷出,血洒天山……。事后,哈密寒星大哥说,当时我在他身后,犹如狼撵…… 碎石达坂达坂上乃是一道瀑布,冰川融水汇聚于此,奔流直下,甚为壮观。众驴在瀑布顶端休息,我靠在一块巨石上,遥望远方,远处博峰似乎又近了一步…… 七 离开瀑布很快就见到第一个冰湖,8月湖面浮冰已融,湖水寒冷彻骨,湖面不大,但是湖水碧绿,在雄壮雪山的映衬下显得楚楚动人,如果7月前来,这里的湖冰未融,又是另外一番景象。冰湖边有块大石延伸进湖水里,乃是个照相的绝佳地点,众驴纷纷在此留影。此时天色渐阴,湖边风起,让人觉得有些寒意,大家稍作停留便右拐离开冰湖。路程开始变得平缓,但是路况并未有多大好转,依旧是碎石河道,只不过石块更大。如果是丰水年份,河道里是有水和河冰的,今年气温高,冰雪尽融,只剩下一片碎石。冰河的尽头,是一条溪流,今年水小,甚至不用涉水,直接踩在石块上便可过河。 碎石路让我非常崩溃,纵然施展凌波微步也还是感觉小腿发酸,加上登山鞋的鞋带没有系紧,我掐指一算,脚底应该是已经磨出水泡无疑。好在渡河之后,前方的道路一马平川,我继续用狼撵式走法埋头追了两公里,渐渐又回到队伍前列。肩膀酸加脚疼,我开始渐渐有些烦躁起来,翻过一个小山丘,突然发现,博格达峰已经赫然立在眼前……多年前我在西外环路上堵车,远望东南,天片的博格达主峰与浮云连成一体,如海市蜃楼,虚幻缥缈。之后的很多年,一提起缥缈峰灵鹫宫,我脑子里立刻闪现过天边那空中楼阁一般的博峰。我决定,有朝一日,定要直上天山,力克童姥,取了生死符,从此独步江湖…… 如今博峰即在眼前,只是天边流云似铁,雪峰依旧在云端若隐若现,高高在上,丝毫没有因为距离的缩短而放下身段,反而似乎更加遥远威严神秘。我开始有点理解人为什么会在一座雪山面前惊叹、感动、折服、膜拜。人生如梦,白云苍狗,人总要翻过一座属于自己的山峰,你那些曾经的不堪回首、牵肠挂肚、风光荣耀、没落孤寂、生死离别,在他百万年漫长的守望下,犹如沧海一粟,微不足道。似乎翻过山,抛下过往才有勇气再面对漫漫的人生路,因为我知道不论走多远,永远翻不过去的始终是生活。 八 今天夜宿的营地是博格达登山大本营,一块成熟的扎营地,夏季登山协会会在这里训练队员,地势平坦,营地旁有优质的水源,缺点是:遍地碎石,我的帐篷是半自立式的,对于无法扎地钉的露营条件简直是一场噩梦。只好用大石块压住四角固定帐篷,因为无法充分拉伸帐篷空间,双人帐勉强变成了单人帐。江湖当了一天收队,一路基本没怎么休息,体力消耗巨大,几近崩溃,估计有些轻微高反,到营地立好帐篷就钻进去睡了。 我简单考察了一下营地周边环境,营地边上立着白雪小姐的衣冠冢,后面是三个香港山友的墓碑,想想他们魂断博峰,长眠于此,日日望着不远处的雪山峻岭、日升日落,也算不错的归宿吧。营地对面是一个小山包,翻过山包可以看到博格达4、5、1号主峰和山脚下的冰湖,这时候天气已经转阴,山间云山雾罩,三峰不可全见,我坐在湖边的石头上静静等了一个小时,云无散迹,渐渐三峰均隐没于云中。 我走回营地和飞翔一起张罗着做饭,和零红蝶混帐的两个驴友,状况不太好,准备次日和传统穿越的队伍一起从天池下撤。马达把所有吃的悉数贡献出来,飞翔又整了个四菜,大家就在江湖的帐篷里边吃边聊,直至深夜。每次走长线我都很珍惜和众驴友在一起的时光,常有人在群里说这次没机会下次再一起走,我对这种话一般都不太确信,这些年走了好多路,有些朋友相逢一次就再也没见过,浮云一别后,流水十二年,很多东西过了就过了,没有下一次。 帐外突然开始下雨,向日葵色板官方钻出大帐,准备各自休息,眼前的博峰在一片风雨交加的苍茫夜色里显得愈发雄壮…… 九 一夜风雨,白发魔女和天山童姥均未入梦。早起发现帐篷外全是冰碴,又是阳光明媚的一天。朝阳从山间洒向营地,草石皆金,博峰全貌尽显,此时湖面如镜,雪山投影在水中,浮冰闪耀,美不胜收。当年全真教长春子丘处机道长在天山作诗有云:雪岭界天人不到,冰池耀日俗难观,我能看到这雪岭冰池也算不俗了罢。 吃完早餐,跟传统穿越队伍话别之后,众人沿冰湖向南,走上冰川,逐渐向雪山靠近。今天要长距离的冰川行走和翻越雪山,路程强度最大,也最危险。四百多万年前,博格达冰川形成,巨大的冰川推动着山脚下的巨石缓缓移动,犹如流淌着的时光河流,随着冰河时代的结束,全球气温回暖,冰川渐渐消退,留下巨大的绿色岩石。冰川行走的危险在于表面积雪下深不见底的冰裂缝和冰洞,这个季节,冰川上很大一部分积雪已经融化,大的冰缝都暴露出来,危险降低了不少,一早上数公里的行走,居然丝毫没有感觉疲惫。中午,大部队到达简单达坂脚下,在一处有水源的石堆上午餐。 我靠在一块大石头上仰望海拔4160米的简单达坂,看着云从达坂顶上飘过,拖着七彩光晕,不知为何,突然觉得莫名悲伤。当年简单开发五峰连穿路线,越过4160达坂的时候,大概也是意气风发,豪情壮志,如今山未易,人已逝。这两年不管是严冬冬的英逝还是杨春风、饶剑锋的遇难,总让人不禁唏嘘感叹,也惹得争议一片。在这件事上,我总觉得,一个理性的人,只要明白自己追求事情的危险性,能够接受最坏的结果,那么即使倒在追梦的路上也算死得其所,你可以不认同他们的行为,但是必须保持尊重。 十 吃过饭,我简单评估了一下面前4160达坂的难度,坡度陡、爬升高、积雪厚,应该不像它的名字那么简单,外加早上搭伙的小伙伴们说看我有做强驴的潜质,所以把5个气罐全部塞进我的包里这个不利条件,我认为这会儿不是证明自己负重能力的时候,所以果断把两个满罐藏在石头下面,零红蝶说他日后取来私用。减负之后,也许是心理因素,立刻觉得包轻了不少,很快我跟着零又走到了队伍的最前面。但是走到一半,随着坡度的加大,体重大的缺陷也暴露出来,零走在我前面在雪上踩的很浅的脚印,我一踩立刻没至膝盖,我每一步都只能跪着从雪里拔出脚才能迈下一步。身后的“天气”身形小巧轻盈,很快就超在我身前,我侧身一看,她只在雪上留下一串浅浅的脚印,轻功水上漂啊!只恨自己轻功不佳,就这么一步一跪,如朝圣一般,终于爬到了达坂顶端。 眼前无限风光,茫茫冰川向远处延展,右侧是博格达高耸入云的雪峰,天空蓝的发暗,风过身摇,一时间感觉有点轻微的晕厥。那些阴郁的、无奈的、沮丧的、伤感的、愤愤的情绪在这一刻随风而逝。我开始明白人们为什么对一座雪山如此热衷了,当你靠近她的时候,她的纯净、纯洁、纯粹似乎可以净化你的内心…… 也许是有点忘乎所以,下达坂的时候,我掏出防潮垫,准备坐着直接滑下去。这个壮举被零蝴蝶凶狠的制止了。无法控制下滑速度,很可能会掉进冰裂缝或者撞在前方的石头上,纵然我有神功护体刀枪不入,也难免大伤元气,从此退出江湖。 十一队伍在达坂北坡下休息,等后面的队员陆续翻过达坂。喀什来的驴友“飘絮的风”有些高反,翻达坂对他来说是个大考验,飘絮的风背了五六公斤的摄影器材,所以一路很受折磨,但是走在队伍最后的他还是拍下了很多美不胜收的照片,本帖的照片照的好看的均出自他之手,在这顺便感谢飘絮的风。 大概等了一个多小时,队伍再次聚齐。开始漫长的冰川行走,从现在开始,海拔一路下降,这一段冰川的景色异常壮观,博格达2、3、4、1号峰就在身旁,随便停下都可以拍到雪山美景。队伍沿着冰河前行,遇到横切的冰裂缝,冰河便流入冰缝,有的冰缝被冲击成一个冰洞,深不见底,看着慎人。冰川的尽头又是一片乱石路,听雨才走了一小段就扭伤了脚,好在不严重,稍事休息还可以继续。前一天的碎石达坂,让我总结了几条走碎石路的经验:一、多用手杖,二、不要相信任何一块石头,哪怕它看着很大很稳固,三、两只脚同时踩到落脚点了再迈下一步。按照这个方法,虽然还是走的很慢,但是这一段路程我膝盖没有感到不适。 傍晚,在一处地势平坦的冰湖边扎营,远处夕阳斜下,博格达峰被镶上了一层金边。晚饭本来按惯例依旧由飞翔掌勺我打下手,炒了两个菜后,听雨对我和飞翔每个菜都不放辣椒这件事很火大,所以决定亲自下厨。听雨炒菜的风格属于剽悍型,一个菜用三个菜的肉和调料,手法也基本是降龙十八炒加打狗铲法,虽然看似暴力,尝了尝味道居然还不错。这是向日葵色板官方在山里的最后一顿晚餐,大家吃完又聊了很多。聊起了曾经的孟克特、冰川壮美的夏特,繁花开满山谷的环博,细雨绵绵的恰西,风雪漫天的车师……。帐外已是浓浓的夜色,天山上,龙蛇笔走,墨泼南溟…… 十二早起拔营,大家沿着冰湖边一路北行。今天向日葵色板官方就要开始离开博格达峰了,翻过山梁,博峰渐行渐远,向日葵色板官方已经走到了经典的博格达后山,当年孙老师就是在这里拍下了“三峰并起插云寒”的美图。众人也纷纷效仿,只是少了些魔幻的光线和雾气,怎么也没法拍出孙老师那张照片的感觉,好在博峰壮美,随便怎么拍都是美景。 一路下坡。路况也基本是草地和马道,队伍的速度越来越快,中午在绝望坡下的河流边吃完午饭,接下来就是几公里的马路,身后的博峰渐渐隐匿在山间的松林里,前方是无尽的石子路,走得我非常崩溃。我的登山鞋非常不适应在这种道路上行走,所以我放慢速度,和哈密北山羊的几个大哥走在一起,速度和步幅正合适。 远处村落渐现,我知道旅途该结束了,不管你翻过多少山峰,终究还是要面对生活这座高山。这些年我一直问自己,我们为什么活着,是为了活的更长?更富有?走的更远?去更多的地方?向日葵色板官方行走的意义究竟是什么?早些年我看山是山,看水是水,那时候膝盖坚若磐石,大块吃肉大碗喝酒,铁肩担道义,长歌万里行,妄言万水千山走遍。这几年吃了亏,摔了跤,碰了壁,灰头土脸,头破血流,开始变得看山不是山,看水不是水,行走也变得不再单纯,徒步里多了些炫耀、虚荣和自以为是,其实走过多少地方,登过多少山峰并不堪称其为一种资本,不管是腐败、自虐、探险还是玩命,你要寻找的始终还是心里的那片风景,如果不明白这一点,即使走再远也走不出自己的心。可以想象,若干年后我终究会老的再也不能行走,也许膝盖早已置换成了钛合金,以前走过旅程渐渐变成回忆,对此我并不恐慌,因为那时候我也许已经变得宠辱不惊,看山还是山,看水还是水,短锄栽花,长诗佐酒,诗剑年年总忆卿……大合影 最 后 最后说说装备和注意事项,8月博格达山区气温并不算低,所以徒步一般可以穿速干衣裤,遇到风大的山口或者阴天,可以套上冲锋衣御风。考虑到碎石和冰雪路面,全程必须穿高腰登山鞋。有两件事是以前我持怀疑态度,通过这次长线确认的:一是零蝴蝶的长线穿两双袜子的理论,二是零蝴蝶的速干裤外面套冲锋裤的理论,证明都是正确的。 关于睡袋我个人认为10月前上博格达,只要防潮垫给力,G700的羽绒睡袋绰绰有余。 冲锋衣方面我还是坚持我的观点,就是带一件好冲锋衣,就不要带雨披了,虽然群里曾经有高端人士在这个问上跟我有过争论。 最后说说帐篷,博格达五峰连穿除了第一天外,全程营地不适合扎地钉,对于轻量化的半自立帐篷,由于无法用地钉把帐篷完全撑开,所以会损失很多空间,飞溪2在这种环境下只能作为单人帐使用。 负重上,我认为男士控制在20kg以内,女士控制在15kg以内为佳,女汉子视情况而定,至于不离不弃和双鱼这种天体流的负重自然是多多益善。 好了,帖子至此算是完结了,不管你关注与否,走过的路都会成为向日葵色板官方心中的财富,如梦幻、如琥珀,永难忘。 当年万里觅封候,匹马戍梁州。 关河梦断何处,尘暗旧貂裘。 胡未灭,鬓先秋,泪空流。

放点片花,先吸引一下眼球【先预览一下~】【写在开始前】 子辰打来电话的那个早上,我连牙都还没有刷,正在给阿呆做着早饭。 挂了之后也并没反应过来,脑子里只剩下几个关键词语:南美、自驾、40号公路、不要钱!又呆了几分钟后,我就只记得不要钱了。(高的家伙是小马,矮的家伙就是阿呆哈哈~) 小广告一下,向日葵色板官方的微信公众号往下看哈哈(最右边就是向日葵色板官方在沙溪的家了~) 还以为拥有充足的时间准备,因为计划的行程开始是15年的3月27,收到消息的时候连14年都还没有跨过去呢,但哪知道工作上的事情正好特别多,一直到出发前我都还没有做功课,只知道这次要去的地方应该是地球上直线距离最远的了,脑袋里一片浆糊就跟着走了,以至于下面对线路和行程的整理,完全是回来后才搞明白的......线路及自驾说明【线路及自驾说明】为什么选择40号公路?相比较美国那几条耳熟能详的自驾线路来说,阿根廷的自驾线路鲜有人知。说实话,当初接到子辰兄的电话让我做行程安排的时候,我才第一听说40号公路,在网上能查到的关于它的自驾攻略几乎没有。但它在外国旅行者中,特别是摩托骑士口中,就像朝圣之路一般,为什么呢?来看看我下面的介绍吧~ 安第斯山脉是世界上最长的山脉 ,从北到南蜿蜒七千多公里,构成了整个南美大陆的脊梁,山脉本身也是阿根挺和智利两国的天然国界线。在山的东侧,有一条全长近五千公里的公路,自阿根挺南部的火地岛向北一直到达玻利维亚边界,大多数时候与安第斯山脉平行。公路经过阿根廷的3个大区11个省份,跨过18条主要河流,13个大湖和盐湖,有桥梁236座,沿途经过20个国家公园和保护区,包括南美最高峰阿空加瓜登山大本营,并连接27个安第斯山过境山口,这就是被称为世界上最荒凉的阿根廷40号公路。 切.格瓦拉曾在23岁时,骑着他的诺顿500驶入40号公路,开始了他的旅程并写下了《骑士日记》。后来这段故事还被改编为电影。(科普完毕,我也是网上看来的~) 而这次向日葵色板官方是从布宜诺斯艾利斯出发,由东向西跟随7号公路然后在门多萨向南转入40号公路。整个行程向日葵色板官方将作为子辰兄的摄影助理同行,这也就是为什么免费的原因了。(实线是自驾线路,全程是4000多公里,虚线是飞行线路。由于没有办理智利证,所以车子无法跨越智利国土去到乌斯怀亚,只能是从埃尔卡拉法特飞到了乌斯怀亚。)(没有任何意外的话,这是我进行过最长途跋涉的一次旅行了,为了到达目的地,向日葵色板官方从沙溪——丽江——北京——多哈——圣保罗——布宜诺斯艾利斯,光在飞机上坐着就耗费了30多个小时,很多次不知道白天黑夜,对于目的地的兴奋感早都被消磨完了。) 算起来也是第二次在国外自驾(第一次是在土耳其沿地中海自驾,就是上一篇烂尾的游记,因为没时间实在写不下去了。。。),但是之前也说了没时间准备,所以关于租车、证件、路况等等都一无所知,好在子辰和小马在出发前做足了准备,我也得以拿来整理如下: 关于驾照:阿根廷是认可国际驾照的,但我没有~ 所以驾照就是去公证处公证一份西班牙语的翻译件即可。 关于租车:由于向日葵色板官方的车辆是旅行社直接提供的,所以我不知道具体的费用,不过在阿根廷安飞士和赫兹我都有看到,所以租车是完全没问的。 关于加油:阿根廷大部分的车辆是柴油动力,而柴油的价格因为地区、品质和不同的加油站的区别,价格在1到2美元不等。柴油型号也是多种多样,向日葵色板官方一路基本都是添加的EURO。 关于路况:现在的40号公路较以前已经改观了很多,这一路上,80%的路面都已进行了硬化,剩下的20%虽是弹石路,但也较为平整。 关于过路费:一路上只有在7号公路上遭遇过收费站,不论是高速还是国道,比国内的收费稍便宜一些。转入40号公路上没有任何收费。 其它注意事项: 1、阿根廷只要是行驶在路上的车辆,都是全天开大灯的,不过当然是近光,远光灯去死~ 2、在跨越一些省界的时候会有宪兵或者警察对车辆或行李进行检查,而有一些是要对车辆进行消毒处理的(过程不复杂~),也由一些是不能带水果过境的...... 3、路和交规和国内基本一致,除了绿灯不亮不能右转。 4、路况虽然不错,但是尽量不要开夜路,沿途野生动物太多,撞到牛啊马啊什么的一点也不稀奇。 5、不要超速,罚单很贵,因为向日葵色板官方被罚惨了。。。 6、上了40号公路后,看到加油站的话,就算还有半箱油也宁愿先加满,也不要问我为什么知道~ 对了,还有关于汇兑:向日葵色板官方是在国内换好了美金,但是在阿根廷银行里换的话只有1:8.5左右,也由攻略说在布宜诺斯艾利斯的弗罗里达大街换可以到1:12左右,但是很多人说会换到假币,并且用不完的钱拿回银行也换不回美金,综合考虑到安全和便捷的问,向日葵色板官方一直是找导游换的1:10,在一些店铺是可以直接使用美金购买的,1:11的样子,也可以进行兑换,不过只兑换50和100的面额。 其他的我暂时也想不起来,如果大家有什么问,我一定知无不言~(根据上面的行程看来,大家应该也明白了,我们这次的行程时间很紧,每两地之间的路程都很遥远,大部分的时间都是在车上看风景了。。。)人和物的介绍【人和物的介绍】 说了这么多,下面就介绍一下这次同行的已经是好基友的和在行程中变成了好基友的队友们~ 小马,江湖人称马哥,这个蚂蜂窝账号是她的,是的,现在不是她在写,是她分配给我在写~ 因为她是我媳妇,我也没办法。 向日葵色板官方被别人组了一个组合叫“猴年马月”......自从认识她后我就跟着她玩了好多地方,是的,我是她的小跟班~ 她常年在玩,这会她在楼下玩阿呆,作为资深的玩家,她不写的原因用她的话说就是她有更重要的事情要做,所以这会她应该是在谋划下一次旅行或者是正在盯着某一家航空公司的特价机票两眼冒光~ 还有就是,上一篇烂尾的土耳其自驾游记,责任在她哈哈...... 子辰,某知名网站编辑,我们只在“猴年马月”的婚礼上见过一面,第二面就直接是这次在首都机场T3了。 深度文艺中年,旅行途中带了两本书,一本丢了,另一本看了两页。 因自诩风光摄影师,而本姓李,所以偶尔我会昧着良心叫他“安塞尔.亚当李”,一般是在他买单前后~ 关于这次的旅行他也会在汽车之家的论坛里发布游记,当然向日葵色板官方的角度肯定是不一样的,因为他183CM,我168CM(什么都不要说~),向日葵色板官方看到的世界完全不同~ 而且他放言要在游记里每天写死我一次,我期待看到我的各种死法~ 为什么要写死我?因为当他自诩纪实摄影师的时候,我没有叫他“李布列松”~ 由于我就带了一个小相机,而且是35定焦不能换头的,所以以下如果有一些展示不出来的我就借用了子辰的照片,为了区分,我的加了水印。 我,名怿昀,大家都叫我猴子,这个我本来是不愿意的,不能你叫我猴子我就叫猴子啊,我也得觉得好听才行,可是因为我本姓侯,所以Duang的一下,大家都叫我猴子了。随着这些年越发无法卖萌,那些嫌我老的人也就越来越多的叫我师兄或者猴哥~ 这也就自然变成了“猴年马月”组合~ 由于兴趣爱好过于广泛,自然精通的没有几样,平时就靠着拍照和设计混混日子。每一次的旅行都是跟着马哥混,成长自然是惊人的,至少我英语以前只会Yes和No,现在已经会You can you up了~Leo,向日葵色板官方这次行程的地接导游1号,除了中间有事离开了两天,都是他在陪着向日葵色板官方,据他自己说,向日葵色板官方这次的行程他和EX都来过,说多了都是泪,哎~ 自幼随父母从台湾移民阿根廷,完全融入了阿根廷的生活,现在已经发展成了国际倒爷,平时除了带游客走走看看,会把国内的小商品卖到阿根廷,再把阿根廷的红酒卖到国内~ 此人拥有一身练过又反弹了的肌肉,身高堪比“安塞尔.亚当李”,至今单身,在此征婚(我保证是他让我说的~)据说叫Leo的人都很自恋,听上去好像比较偏颇,但是这位Leo再次证明了这一论点。如果楼下也有叫Leo的不要怪我嘴贱,我也是听来的而已呵呵~小白,导游2号,在Leo有事的那几天与向日葵色板官方同行。自高中时来阿根廷留学,至今大学虽没毕业,婚倒是结了一个,说到这,得说说他的这个媳妇,反正我是没听明白,你们来分析分析:信仰古巴一个巫术小教派、出生在一个犹太教家庭、半阿根廷半法国血统、金发、职业是护士。没听明白吧?但听上去很不错的样子~ 当然他和向日葵色板官方分享的最多的还是结婚之前积累的各种经验,对于这些经验我无法一一道来,但是向日葵色板官方都建议他写一本《阿根廷各州各信仰各民族各肤色泡妞指南》,书名虽长,但一定很实用,而且一定要先给Leo看看~漫长的准备 仓促的开始 (从沙溪到布宜诺斯艾利斯)【漫长的准备 仓促的开始(从沙溪到布宜诺斯艾利斯)】 出发前的一个月,我总算有时间瞟了一眼地图,哎呀,我要从南走到北啊~ 不对,是从北走到南,但差不多啊,北面多热,南面多冷~ 这一路走下来温差可够大了,当下眼珠子一转,拨了朋友的电话,谁让他是搞户外用品的呢~ 就这样,还没开动,朋友就给赞助了衣服鞋子,而且都是顶级的~事实证明在世界尽头的冷风中给了向日葵色板官方十足的温暖啊,啥户外?神州户外啊!(毫无广告痕迹)下面还有二维码~~ 具体准备证的问就不详细再说了,向日葵色板官方的证是通过旅行社代办的,但是资料都是自己准备好的,后面免去了面也算是方便了很多。 就这样,拖拖拉拉的准备了4个月,期间向日葵色板官方和子辰连面都没见,直到出发的前一天,向日葵色板官方三个从三个不同的地方出发,马哥从沙溪到丽江找我会合后直奔机场飞向帝都。(以免又购买易碎品放在背包里收到挤压,特意买了个行李箱,向日葵色板官方自己设计的关于沙溪的贴纸也总算有地方贴了~) 向日葵色板官方乘坐的是卡塔尔航空的班机,凌晨2点起飞,子辰一直在忙着准备这个行程的各种资料,一直到起飞前1小时他才赶到机场和向日葵色板官方见面,要不是向日葵色板官方的护照还在他手里,向日葵色板官方早过关逛街去了,没办法等到他后直奔值机柜台。 就这样,向日葵色板官方出发了,在过关后去登机口的轻轨上我问子辰:关于行程,向日葵色板官方聊聊?;聊啥?就是我拍照,你也拍照,别的想到的再说,飞机上还有20多个小时呢~;......([]

〖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,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,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,我们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,我们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。我们将搭乘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,我们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。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指着距离我们不远的一个小门说道:“请大家抓紧时间,赶紧过来吧,我们为你们准备了节目。”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,我们还得拎点东西了,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:“这些都是我们村里的女人做的。”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。([]
