从贵州回来半个多月了,整整一个月的跋涉和游览,乘坐火车汽车一路奔波,经常忍不住在山清水秀的地方徒步旅行,总行程计10000公里,其中:乘坐火车里程8300公里,汽车里程约1400余公里,徒步里程约250余公里,还有市内交通若干。 一个月中,看到得太多,想到得太多,得到得太多,一时难以品味和消化,以至于兴奋的情绪久久未能平静,迟迟无法安下心来写游记。可好多朋友天天追在后面催债,只好打起精神,努力成文。 这次贵州旅行全是乘坐公共交通,在近一个月风雨兼程的旅途中和其后近两个月撰写游记的日子里,我一面欣赏贵州秀丽山水的旖旎风光和奇异民俗,一面努力寻找与其相关传的传奇典故和古今传说;一面踏访各地的文物古迹和红军长征的红色旅途,一面费力探寻其背后遗留的时代碎片和历史烽烟,希望让这个帖子不仅仅简单地展现一次旅游过程和几张美丽图片,更能告诉朋友们这些图片后面的传奇故事和厚重历史,使一篇游记在时空上有所突破,变得更有厚度,更有伸展性和可读性,让朋友们通过这篇帖子和我一样能了解更多,收获更多,也为自己在未来重读这篇帖子的时候,给自己留下更多的时空记忆,所以我给这篇游记起了个目就叫做:跟老山羊穿越时空游贵州——访旖旎风光奇异民俗后的传奇典故;寻文物古迹红色旅途上的历史烽烟希望大家都能喜欢。此次出行贵州部分行程如下图: 出行时间:9月13日晚22点从沈阳出发,10月13日下午15点回到沈阳,正好一个月。具体行程及到达当地的时间为: 沈阳(0913)—安顺(0916)—兴义(0918)—安龙(0921)—贞丰(0921)—黄果树(0922)—安顺(0922)—织金洞(0923)—贵阳(0923)—镇远古城(0924)—凯里(0925)—朗德(0926)—凯里(0926)—福泉(0927)—麻尾(0927)—大小七孔(0928)—三都(0928)—榕江(0929)—从江(0930)—肇兴(0930)—黎平(1001)—隆里(1001)—锦屏(1001)—三门塘(1002)—远口(1002)—天柱邦洞(1002)—贵阳(1003)—青岩古镇(1004)—南江大峡谷(1005)—开阳(1005)—遵义(1006)—仁怀(1006)—茅台(1007)—习水(1007)—大同古镇(1007)—大足(1010)—重庆(1011)—沈阳(1013) 说起此次的贵州行,本来是去年的旅行计划,但去年8月份,当年和我一起走川藏的哥哥(参见我的帖子《兄弟写行走川藏》https//bbs.8264.com/thread-83145-1-1.html)突然发现罹患癌症,半年后竟不治身亡。 在哥哥最后的日子里,我放弃了计划中的旅行,抛开了工作,一直在医院陪伴左右,亲眼看着原本天性乐观、身体健壮的哥哥受恶疾折磨,一点点失去生活的乐趣和生命的活力,体重从80多公斤在不到半年的时间里就瘦的皮包骨头,最后油尽灯枯,离向日葵色板官方而去,深深感受到在恶疾面前,渺小的人类那种无助和无奈。 送走了哥哥,我更加体会到人生的短暂和脆弱,更应当保重身体,享受生活。正像我的一位朋友在今年中秋给我发的短诗所写:一年转眼又中秋,荏苒光阴似水流。把盏临风思爱友,隔窗对月寄情酬。人生短暂有终点,世事纷繁无尽头。莫让功名空误己,今宵不享待何求? 哥哥生前,曾一直盼望我能尽快退休,希望我退休后能和他一起继续享受旅行全国的乐趣。可这一愿望,竟然终成遗憾! 哥哥去世后,我跟嫂子要来了一直伴随哥哥旅行的佳能SD1400相机留作纪念,并承诺带着它继续今后的旅行生活,让相机代替哥哥观看和记录美丽的祖国山河。于是,今年9月,我带着哥哥遗留的相机,开始了筹划两年的贵州之行。 为什么选择去贵州旅行? 在全国众多的省份中,有几个是我从未涉足,甚至从未路过的省份,贵州就是其中的一个。对这个人们传统观念中天高地远的蛮荒之地,我一直没有太多的关注,也知之甚少。 其实早在2002年我第一次开始自助旅行去凤凰,在租了一辆自行车去阿拉营镇的黄丝桥古城时,知道再前行几里地,就可以进入贵州省,那时就在心里埋下了有朝一日要去这个夜郎国度一探究竟的愿望。 然而,十年中,尽管我每年都要出外旅行,甚至先后去了越南和泰国,而贵州省却一直没有列入我的旅行计划之中,这个美丽的旅游大省也一直没有留下我的足迹。 直到去年,我终于把远行的目瞄向了这里。 为什么要去贵州旅行?一句话两句话说不清楚。在我搜集资料的时候,看到一位贵州朋友写的文章,似乎可以较全面的回答这个问,让朋友们对这个美丽神奇的地方有一个全面的了解,故转发到这里,供大家参考(此篇介绍文章中的插图均来自网络,特此说明):原文地址:https//blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_70f15b1c01017rpx.html贵州:美丽神奇的公园省,自驾游、户外运动的天堂贵州游侠 贵州有着非常宜人的气候,零度以下及三十度以上的气温很少出现。一月份平均气温摄氏四到九度,七月平均气温也只有摄氏二十三度至二十七度之间,夏无酷暑,冬无严寒。地震、台风、海啸及较大的洪水等自然灾害与贵州无缘。贵州境内植被十分茂盛,一年四季到处都是郁郁葱葱的景色。贵州大小江河、溪流遍布,湖泊水库众多,随处可见青山绿水、奇峰绝壁。风景名胜、文物古迹遍布全省各地。一年四季都适合休闲旅游、探险猎奇。 贵州的大小瀑布成千上万,形态各异,美不胜收。除了气势磅礴响声震天的黄果树瀑布和十丈洞瀑布外,有的纤细绵长飘飘洒洒,有的几个瀑布叠成一串浩浩荡荡,有的多个瀑布排成一排各显风采。有的从悬崖半腰洞中喷涌而出如巨龙下山,令人目瞪口呆。荔波小七孔景区十二公里就有瀑布六十八个,兴义市马岭河峡谷六公里内也有瀑布几十个。中国十大瀑布水帘洞之一的穿洞河瀑布,在其五十多米长的瀑下居然贯穿着一条水帘洞,从古代起就成为道路的一部分。黄果树大瀑布 贵州的溶洞也是成千上万,除了被作家冯牧称为:“黄山归来不看山,织金洞外无洞天。”的织金洞、总长达一百一十公里的双河溶洞外。有一眼望去如一轮明月挂在山间的穿洞,有曲折盘旋绵延几十公里穿州过县的长洞,有洞中有洞、洞上有洞、洞旁有洞、洞洞相连,使整个山变空了的空山洞。有如戟似剑的石膏晶洞,有的水中有洞、有的洞中有水、有潭、有暗河激流,还有许多古人类居住过的山洞。有电影[云雾山中]土匪盘踞的窗子洞。有关押张学良、杨虎城的麒麟洞、阳明洞、玄天洞、有在洞口修筑城墙,在洞中躲避土匪战乱的堡垒洞、有在洞中建有飞机发动机制造厂五层厂房的高大洞穴,有洞中吹出狂风的风洞,惠水的波云洞旁一个小洞会吹出寒冷的风,即使是盛夏你也不敢在此久留。有上万个燕子盘旋其中的燕子洞,蝙蝠居住的蝙蝠洞,。溶洞中景色各异、美丽绝伦。任你打开想像的空间、用尽赞美的词语,也无法形容它的美妙和神奇。织金洞 贵州还有很多天生桥,大方青虚洞天生桥高大宽敞,桥下曾拟作为飞机库和跑道,蒋介石曾在桥洞下宴请过两千多人。黎平天生桥拱型规整圆滑,跨度一百一十九米,桥宽百米,堪称世界之最。瓮安仙桥居于高山之巅远望如天桥一般,有许多天生桥已被作为公路桥使用, 纳雍的九洞天、大方的八洞天更是由多个天生桥组成。湄潭的百面水有二十一个天生桥。黎平高屯天生桥 贵州现存的古代石建筑繁多,现存有数十个结构严谨、造型优美、雕刻精致的石牌坊,有数百个巍峨屹立的古石塔及佛教塔墓。上千个美丽古朴形态各异结构不同的古石拱桥、石墩石梁桥及石桥上有屋、有亭的花桥。有数百个建筑宏伟、规模宏大、雕刻精良的古石墓葬。数百个建在山间险境的军事城堡、营盘,均为巨石建成,有石拱门、房屋、仓库、地道、暗堡工事,最大的营盘面积竟达十平方公里。还有许多石墙石瓦石铺地面的古老的村寨。绥阳的石房子堪称石建筑的精髓,整个建筑全由精石料榫接而成,所有的柱、坊、梁上都有精美的雕刻,甚至连衣柜、水缸、台案等都是由石料精制而成。关岭的无梁殿,面积上百平方米无梁无柱,堪称一绝。石阡元代千工堰、瓮安明代梅花堰、遵义五百年雷水堰,兴义三百年石渡槽,作为几百年前的水利工程还在发挥着它的作用,平坝的天台山五龙寺建在绝壁尖顶,被称为石头建筑的绝唱,令多少古建筑专家为之倾倒。许多上百年的石碉堡还屹立在大小寨堡中。天龙屯堡—天台山伍龙寺 贵州河流大都流淌在幽深的山谷间,有乌江、清水江、南盘江、北盘江、都柳江、赤水河等较大的河流,还有数不清的支流和小溪,河水清澈,河道蜿蜒,落差较大,景色优美,水质极佳,可用于漂流的河流有八百二十条,已开发漂流的河道就有四十多条。还有数不清的阴河暗流,时明时暗,妙趣横生。北盘江大峡谷及北盘江大桥 贵州有着难以数计的古树名木,直径数米、树龄几百年的各种古树分布在全省各地,树龄千年以上的古树也有几十颗,最大的藤类植物的直径竟达半米。被称为植物活化石的桫椤在黔西北成片生长,硕大的古树被当地人民敬为神灵,从而得到精心的保护。站在苍劲挺拔、饱经风霜的古树下,你也会对它产生深深的敬意和发自内心的喜爱。 在横跨在大小河流和溪沟上的上千个古代桥梁中,除了前面提到的石拱桥、石梁桥外还有各种结构的古朴的木制凉桥、板凳桥、充满了古代人民智慧和勤劳勇敢精神的竹索桥、藤索桥、用竹杆连接两岸树木形成的竹杆桥、以伸到对岸的树根为梁的树根桥。以铁链固定在巨石上连接两岸形成的铁索桥。以砖为料的砖拱桥,以石为墩以木为梁的木梁桥,将石料固定排列在水中形成的汀步桥。无一不以其原始、古朴的风貌展现在人们的面前。反映了古代劳动人民的聪明才智。荔波小七孔古桥 古老的建筑在贵州也非常多,有许多规模宏大雕梁画栋的寺庙、庄严肃穆装饰精良的家族祠堂、极具异域风情的清真寺,庄重的书院、豪华的他乡会馆、宽敞富丽中西合璧的豪宅、占地宽广建筑宏大的土司衙署、庄园,精美适用雕刻精致绘画精良的古民居、在施秉一个十分偏远的小山村居然有着几十家高封火墙的豪华徽式建筑。镇远青龙洞古建筑群占地面积达两万二千平方米,单体建筑达二十五幢之多。位于安顺城内的文庙,始建于明洪武初年、占地十一亩,内存一对高大的透雕石龙柱为国内罕见,还有一面巨大的透雕石花墙及两座精雕石牌坊,如此精品在城市中得到完好的保存,堪称奇迹。镇远青龙洞 贵州境内还保存有几十段数公里长的古驿道,这些古驿道均为石板或石块铺筑,经过数百载风雨的洗礼,已经非常光滑洁白,古驿道上有驿站、关隘城楼、烽火台、屯兵堡垒。古桥古树。三国时期关羽之子关索修建的关索古驿道留下了一路的遗迹和多少神奇的传说。巾帼英雄奢香夫人修建的龙场九驿还一段段残留在乌蒙山脉上,一座座古桥为你讲述着一个小女子的博大胸怀。从孔明塘、孔明山、诸葛洞、诸葛峡、孟获屯、双泉寺等三国遗迹中似乎还能感受到历史的硝烟。青岩古镇定广门前古驿道 在贵州各地都有着众多的古代达官贵人、文人墨客留下的摩崖石刻、摩崖造像、岩溶造像、古碑刻、岩画及被称为写字岩的古代文字遗迹。关岭的红岩碑留下了难以破解的千古之谜,反映了贵州丰富的历史文化底蕴。贵州摩崖石刻 贵州古代各民族的墓葬也非常奇特:苗族的洞葬是把棺木集中存放在两面通风的岩洞中,水族是将遗体放入用精制石板做成的三层棺木的下层,而将其日常用品及粮食放入上面两层,以供主人“享用”,并在石板外面刻上花卉及主人生平经历的图案及文字。还有一种崖墓是在垂直的岩壁中间开凿出墓室将棺木放入,然后安装石门。满族墓葬则是将土坟用料石封包,在料石表面雕刻精美的图案及文字,并修筑高大的墓碑及宽敞的拜台。近年又发现花溪一个岩洞里有用一段整木料凿成的棺木,彝族的向天坟被称为中国西南的金字塔。夜郎王的坟墓则像一个卫星接收天线。贵州古墓 许多曾经走出家乡的贵州名人的墓葬也保存完好,如贵阳的李端棻,曾任清朝礼部尚书,是北京大学的首倡者和戊戌变法的幕后领导人。黔西的李士杰,廉洁勤奋,官至兵部尚书。思南的田仰为明清两朝兵部尚书。思南的郭石渠,任清朝监察御史,勤政廉洁、关心农民疾苦,力遏吏治弊端。曾任山东巡抚、四川总督的织金人丁宝桢重视海疆的巩固和枪械的制造,关切黄河的治理、打击贪官污吏、关心民众的疾苦。凯里的孙应鳌曾任多种要职,被提任工部尚书而谢绝。在家乡著书人。都匀人扶纲曾任明朝最后一任礼部尚书、兵部尚书,忠君爱国,将被吴三桂杀害的永历皇帝遗躯迎回,安葬在自己的家乡。黎平何腾蛟曾任相当于现国防部副部长的兵部右侍郎,明朝灭亡后宁死不屈,自缢身亡。遵义的黎庶昌从光绪二年起就先后担任清政府驻英国、法国、德国、印度使馆参赞,并两度担任驻日使馆钦差大臣。普定人任可澄曾任云南、贵州省长及北洋政府教育总长。花溪人刘清曾任山西巡抚,曾千里迢迢将油茶树苗带回家乡,开发家乡的油茶生产。息烽的明代贵州都指挥使李孟明曾将鞭打奢香夫人的马哗捕押进京。凯里的石邦宪曾任明代贵州、湖广总兵。这些贵州人民的优秀代表永远受到家乡人民和全国人民的尊重和敬仰。他们的陵墓也是记载历史的一页。贵州古墓 由于喀斯特地貌的影响。贵州有着非常多的奇妙的泉井,有的像串串葡萄从井底升起,有的似颗颗珍珠浮出水面,有的如有人控制般一日三潮、一天五涌,还有的一有响声就马上涌出。施秉的双井相隔百米一黑一白。修文的三潮水迎接过无数的名人轶士。荔波的永济泉井低于地面十米,取水要从精美的拱券下沿阶梯进入。丹寨的打鼓井每隔几分钟就会涌出水流,并发出轰隆隆的响声。许多泉井的水下长满了各种颜色的水草,终年青翠诱人。遍布在全省各地的温泉,含有多种矿物成分,非常适合人体需要。 贵州还保存着非常多的古城墙和古城门,贵阳青岩古镇、锦屏隆里古城、黄平旧州古城等保存完好,它们以虽然苍老但依然坚固的身躯,屹立在贵州城乡的大地上。隆里古城 贵州也有十几处美丽的石林,如兴义泥凼石林、修文的回水石林、福泉仙桥石林、瓮安草塘石林、德江石林、思南石林、习水岩寨石林、凤岗天桥石林、赫章韭菜坪石林。还有非常多的奇妙的石柱、石龙、最神奇的贵阳鬼架桥以其纤细规整而实在令人难以相信为大自然所造。梵净山的蘑菇石、玉屏的万卷书崖、织金的三叠石、独山的翻天印、拗拗石;三都的晴雨石、猫石;下蛋岩,仁怀的石球、石头开花;贵阳的船石、老奶石、高坡飞来石;赫章的倚稳石、福泉高石头、平塘卡腊石笋、甲青奇石滩;惠水望郎回、大方石舟、印江的大圣墩、三穗的耗子岩、都匀幻影石、玉玺峰、五色擎天柱;长顺的白水牛、剑河的夫妻岩、丹寨的石龙、湄江的宝石坛、贞丰的双乳峰等等,不枚盛举,无不令人啧啧称奇。梵净山蘑菇岩 贵州保留着许多近代省内外历史名人的故居:兴义国民党军政部长何应钦故居、贵州护国运动的领导人、民国交通部长王伯群故居;贵州督军、省长刘显世故居;安龙五省联军总司令袁祖铭故居;赤水、桐梓贵州省长周西成故居;桐梓贵州省长王家烈故居,黔军副军长蒋在珍故居;赤水黔军副军长候之担公馆;贵阳王伯群故居、贵州省长毛光翔、王家烈故居;安顺中共中央秘书长王若飞故居,国民党宪兵之父、贵州省主席谷正伦故居;荔波中共一大代表邓恩铭故居;铜仁红二军团主要创始人周逸群故居;天柱武昌起义前些督战指挥官王天培故居;贞丰被称为:民国十八年、贵州十八子、省长十八天的短命省长李晓炎旧居;镇远革命先驱周达文故居;花溪清朝状元、康熙字典编纂者周渔璜故居等,豪华气派的旧居,留下了历史的瞬间。王若飞故居陈列馆 作为日军侵略中国的最后一个省,贵州也有许多抗日遗迹:在进入贵州的黎明关古隘,日军三千多人受到国军一千五百余人的顽强阻击,三天三夜日军死伤二百多人。古隘古道和日军焚尸处犹存,在荔波的永康穿洞日军又受到抗日军民的抵抗,日军死亡二百多人。从黎明关到县城不到四十公里的路程日军受到军民多次阻击,九天后才进入县城。另一路日军在来到三都九仟的石板寨时天已经黑了,日军见高高的寨墙如城墙般高大,未敢贸然进入,在墙下烧火取暖,被抗日民众打死打伤多人。独山的深河桥是日军进入中国的最后一桥,和引发中国全面抗战的第一桥卢沟桥一样,被记入中国抗日战争的史册。关押日军战俘的镇远和平村向世界讲述着文明礼仪之邦的待人之道。镇远和平村 许多名人在贵州留下遗迹:明代大思想家王阳明在修文阳明洞悟道三年,受到全球文人的尊崇。明代大旅行家徐霞客游览贵州,写下了中国旅游、地理、民族、历史的巨作:【徐霞客游记{黔游日记}】。清代旅行家陈鼎遍游贵州,写下了【黔游记】,记载了“五百里观音洞”等多处景点。黄果树景区的徐霞客塑像 明清武将吴三桂在贵州多次征战,留下了众多的古战场遗迹和传奇故事。明朝的第二个皇帝朱允炆在靖难之役后,传说来到云贵,在贵州许多地方如息烽的西望山盟誓碑,长顺的白云山,贵阳的茶饭寨、太子桥,清镇的灵永寺、云峰山,威宁的龙隐洞,平坝的高峰山寺,赫章的倚稳等地都留下了许多传说和遗迹。主张抗日的国民党高级将领张学良、杨虎成被关押在贵州贵阳、开阳、修文、息烽、桐梓等多个地方,都留下了深深的印记。南明永历皇帝在安龙称帝,留下了王子坟、十八先生墓等遗迹。清朝重臣张之洞及其父兴义知府张锳在贵州多年也留下了很多令人追忆的遗迹。明朝最后一个皇帝永历的皇宫(安龙县城) 贵州有十余个世居民族,有着丰富多彩的文化艺术和奇特神秘的生活习俗,在黔东南苗寨中至今还保存着二百多座花桥鼓楼,黎平县现有三百七十五座侗族鼓楼。苗族歌舞、侗族大歌、布依族座唱令人如痴如醉,各式各样的民居令人大开眼界,雷山西江千户苗寨,浩浩翰翰、层层叠叠,耸立于一面缓坡上。岜沙苗寨以配枪村民和镰刀剃头吸引了多少游人的目光。黎平肇兴侗寨挺立着四座鼓楼和四座风雨桥。贵州少数民族的服饰种类繁多美丽鲜艳,每套服饰都有一个美丽神奇的传说。每年一千多个丰富多彩的民族节日更是引人入胜。侗寨的花桥和鼓楼 贵州还有一些似洞非洞的崖洞,大自然在悬崖峭壁上开凿出一条条凹槽,贵阳下坝的岩底苗寨有一条几公里长的崖下通道、黄平浪洞岩数百米崖道在峭壁上盘旋,黄平飞云崖。被王阳明誉为:天下之山集于云贵,云贵之秀萃于斯崖。 贵州的山有拔地而起的险峰绝顶、有奇形怪状的山巅石峰、有美丽鲜艳的丹霞赤壁、有洁静如洗的白岩,施秉与石阡交界的佛顶山海拔高度一千八百七十米,其南坡长满一人多高的茅草,阳光普照炎热如夏,而北坡则古树茂密藤萝交缠、皑皑白雪寒冷似冬。贵州最高峰韭菜坪海拔二千九百米,山巅绿草茵茵、一片片碗口大的紫色韭菜花迎风怒放、一堆堆洁白的石林傲然挺立。兴义万峰林群峰耸立,被旅行家徐霞客誉为:天下山峰何其多,唯有此处峰成林,杭州中国名胜专家刘延捷的词是:桂林山水甲天下,兴义峰林甲桂林。铜仁梵净山、施秉云台山、雷山雷公山、贵阳黔灵山、息烽西望山等无不以其雄奇险峻、古木苍翠及古老的宗教遗迹令人迷恋。荔波茂兰原始森林,是地球同一纬度仅存的绿洲,木本、草本植物十分丰富,山中溶洞、奇泉散布,古道沧桑、古木藤蔓纠葛、一颗颗独立生长的树木和草地构成了一幅典型的非洲风光。毕节地区的百里杜鹃林各种颜色、各种花形的古老杜鹃花在绵延百里的山坡上怒放。黔北竹海浩瀚、桫椤茂盛。赤水丹霞奇观兴义万峰林 贵州红色旅游资源也十分丰富,除了举世闻名的遵义会议系列景点外,四渡赤水、娄山关、江界河渡口,黎平会议、猴场会议、梯子岩战斗、川滇黔省革命委员会等遗址。息烽集中营、荔波红二军会师遗址。印江木黄红二、六军会师地等都得以完好的保存。黎平会议纪念馆 贵州的水塘、湖泊、水库非常多,景色也都十分迷人,有海拔两千多米的威宁草海、都匀斗蓬山天池、习水天池、榕江变色塘、安顺龙宫旋塘、剑河呈放射状水纹的雷打塘等,众多水电站形成的千岛湖悠长蜿蜒,风光迤逦,红枫湖、百花湖以其面积大、岛屿多、水光山色迷人著称。众多的湖泊不仅可以进行各种水上运动,湖畔还是你、垂钓、露营、篝火晚会、烧烤的极好场所。百花湖景色 贵州有许多大小天坑,息烽的圆通山天坑疑为陨石冲击所至,罗甸的董当天坑、惠水的毛家苑天坑、务川天坑、平塘的塘边天坑、清镇的暗流河天坑、习水的小桥天坑等均为喀斯特地貌。 贵州还有很多高山草原,如龙里草原、贵定草原、威宁草原、赫章草原、六枝夜郎草原等,在千山万壑的云贵高原,一片片大草原神奇地展现出风吹草低见牛羊的内蒙景色,令人称奇。 贵州有许多高差极大、幽深狭长的大峡谷,狭窄的一线天、猴跳岩奇特神秘,雄奇的石峰石柱、古老的植物构成茂密的植被贯穿峡谷,泉水遍布,非常适合徒步穿越和露营。随处可见的悬崖绝壁,是攀岩的极好场地, 贵州许多处于原始状态的高山密林、峡谷溪流以及神秘的洞穴,都非常适合进行登山探险、探洞溯溪等户外运动。马岭河大峡谷 许多近现代的矿洞遗址也值得一游,如万山、修文的汞矿,水城的铅锌矿,晴隆的石膏矿等。 贵州一些现代建筑也值得驻足一看,如随处可见的大小不同、结构各异、姿态万千的公路桥梁组成了中国桥梁的博物馆。而各式各样的大小水电站则是中国水电工程的博物馆。桐梓建于四十年代的天门河水电站,已经运行了六十多年未曾大修过。猫跳河短短几十公里的河道中密布八个结构不同的水电站。坝陵河大桥 贵州的各种美食小吃十分丰富,不论你走到哪里,都有令你开胃难忘的美味佳肴。 贵州,三里一景、十里一貌,沿途风光也处处奇妙,如你开着你的越野车游览贵州,景点最少的县也够你玩满一天,而景点较多的县你三天也玩不全。而且如上所介绍的景点绝大部分都没有开发,不但不收门票,还是你们独自游玩的:“私家花园” 贵州:美丽神奇的公园省,自驾游、户外运动的天堂。来吧朋友,你会迷上它、爱上它的。 看了贵州侠客的这篇帖子,我对即将开始的贵州之行充满了期待。 按计划,我在出发前20天上网定火车票。本来原来的计划是从沈阳到重庆,经重庆去遵义,在遵义开始我的贵州之旅。可沈阳去重庆的火车是从哈尔滨发车,网上不出售沈阳出发的卧铺票,这让人很无奈。后来查到有一列从长春出发去昆明的火车经湘西过贵州,可以在网上定卧铺票,于是决定改乘这趟车。本来,如果从少走冤枉路起见,第一站应当选在贵州镇远,可这趟车到达镇远的时间不好,是下半夜的1点34分,于是只好继续往前坐,到安顺下车,因为这趟车到达安顺是早上的6点47分,正好开始新的一天。只是这样一来,我的乘车时间将长达56小时,跨越3300公里,无论时间还是距离都创下了我最长的一次单次乘车记录。 9月13日下午下班后,我去大东副食买了些熏鸡、火腿、方便面等食品水果,然后回到家里。 火车10点54分发车,晚上9点30分,我背起背包,走出家门。虽然出门就有公交车,我还是徒步向2.3公里外的沈阳北站走去。我喜欢徒步,尤其在这喧嚣散尽的宁静的都市秋夜,清风和煦,让人心旷神怡。都市漫步,既可以有效把控时间,又可以运动身心,享受生活,何乐不为? 半个小时后,我已经来到沈阳北站。整修改造了整整两年的沈阳北站终于全面完工,地下通道四通八达,宽敞明亮。出租换乘全部在地下对接。 走出地下通道,安检进站。来到候车室。等车进站。 火车正点进站,上车以后已经11点,关灯睡觉。 D1—D2(0914—0915):火车上 早上醒来,已经6点多钟,火车还没出山海关。 从沈阳和我一起上车的老爷子,87岁了,身体倍棒,自己上下中铺毫不费力,真令人羡慕。 原来,他是和闺女一起来沈阳探亲,儿子给买的回程票。13日晚上儿子送他们到火车站。到车站,闺女一看手里的票,竟然是14日的。因为着急回去,她连忙到售票处办改,还不错,竟然有票,不过原来的两个下铺变成了一个中铺和一个上铺,而且不在一个车厢。没办法,闺女只好把老头送过来,安顿好,然后回到自己的车厢。 记不清了,好像这个就是那老头的闺女。 乘坐56个小时的火车,对许多人是一种难以忍受的事情,对我则无所谓,在我看来,上了火车,它迟早会把你送到你要去的地方,所以,只管像在家一样,该干嘛干嘛。 虽然这条路已经走过了无数次,可我总是看不够沿路的风景。 正是新兵入伍的时节,很多车站都有新兵等待乘车去部队。这是在天津车站等待上车的新兵。 火车上的人们,消磨时间各有各的方法。年轻姑娘们最时尚的当然是玩手机。 车上的美女和美少妇还真不少。还有顽皮的孩子和慈祥的老人 这几位,分别是辽宁石油学院、中国石油大学和青岛石油学院毕业的大学生,幸运地被中石油聘用,被派到昆明参与前些日子引起很大风波的安宁PX石油项目。在火车上,他们小心地和一位当地的姑娘(下图)论证当地人对石油人的态度,担心群众闹事,生命安全得不到保障。 昆明姑娘说话语速极快,机关枪一样用本地话给他们解答。 火车一路行进,15日晚7点到达湘西张家界。这个地方我2002年来过,那是我第一次开始自助旅行,就是从那以后,我开始了迄今12个年头的自助游经历。 D3(0916):多云转晴 安顺—云峰(七眼桥)—安顺早上,睡醒以后,发现车停了,透过车窗,原来火车刚刚到达贵阳。7点整,火车晚点几分钟到达安顺。下车出站。 走出火车站,先找旅馆。 出火车站前行不远就是一个小集市,许多老乡前来卖菜。其中最引人瞩目的就是身着奇异装束的屯堡妇女。安顺地区,是600年前明王朝屯垦戍边的屯堡的密集分布区。 从贵州中部一直向西,再向西,就是云南。这是从内地通往这个著名的西南边陲最为便捷的途径。从600年前开拓的古驿道到后世修建的公路、铁路,都沿着这个方向不断延伸。 1902年,日本人类学者鸟居龙藏在贵州考察时,在安平县(今平坝县)郊外,看到几个打扮既有别于当时的汉族,又不同于附近少数民族的妇女,引起鸟居龙藏的好奇。向当地人打听:这是什么民族?一些当地人告诉他,这是“凤头鸡”。 第二年,鸟居龙藏的同事伊东忠太在安平也注意到这个特殊的人群。他问地方官员,官员回答是“凤头苗”。其实,所谓“凤头鸡”、“凤头苗”,就是地道的屯堡人。他们是当年江浙一带正宗汉民的后裔,是当年屯垦戍边的将士的妻女。所谓“凤头”,就是凤阳头,是600多年前明太祖朱元璋的家乡凤阳女人的梳头方式。 如今,600多年过去了,这些屯堡女人的装束依然保持着祖制,鹅黄色的长衣大袖,外围黑色的围腰,腰间系上一条彩色丝带。精致的花边透着江南刺绣的神韵。长发挽起用圆网罩于脑后,并且佩戴着玉簪等首饰。这些明朝皇帝朱元璋老家汉族妇女的正统装束“凤阳汉装”,屯堡女子一穿就是600多年。 据说“文革”初期,有造反派来强迫她们卸去“奇装异服”,可他们一走,女人们照样又汉装穿上身。 与外界长期的误判形成鲜明对照,屯堡人对于自己的身份有着清晰的认识,在安顺,哪怕是目不识丁的乡下农妇,你问到她什么民族,来自何方时,她都会毫不犹豫的回答你:“向日葵色板官方是屯堡人,我们的祖上是朱元璋‘调北征南’的时候来到贵州的。” 屯堡及屯堡文化和其背后的传奇故事,正是我此次来安顺旅行最感兴趣的东西之一。 走过集市,来到安顺汽车客运站(客运南站,安顺有好几个客运站——除了南站,还有西站和北站等等),在这里找个小旅店,安排住下。 安排好住处,放下背包,出去逛街。 本来按照原来的计划,今天准备去云峰屯堡景区,可昨天在火车上吃糖时,把嘴里的一个烤瓷牙牙套粘了下来,这下子吃东西非常不方便。必须得赶快修好,这是个大事情,关乎今后一个月的顺利旅行,所以我改变计划,今天先在安顺市内转转,顺便找地方修牙。 走出旅馆,走进车站对面的小巷,里面是一个很热闹的集市。还有一个小学校,一群孩子正准备上学。 在小巷转了一圈,回到南华路上,继续北行。 毕竟是南国,此时,沈阳已经秋雨降温,人们全副武装。可这里的姑娘们还是一身短打,看着就清爽。。 来到转盘塔山东路和塔山西路的交界处,这里有安顺的名山——西秀山,这是一座在平地间突起的石山,峻峭挺拔却并不太高,大约有三十米左右,山上有一座石塔,洁白如洗,塔身呈锥形六边体,七级,据说始建于1326年,是元代安顺三大建筑之一。 山下有绕山一圈的休闲公园带,很漂亮,上山有木制的栈道,沿栈道登上山顶,顿时视野开阔,小小安顺尽收眼底。 从山上看,山后有一座天主教堂,是一栋四合院建筑,很宽大,整个建筑似乎都是老建筑,但在礼拜堂的后面,竟然有一栋中式的亭阁式的建筑及几栋高大的中式砖木古建筑。 下山继续北转,这里可以看到西秀山全貌。 山脚下是一个小广场,一群人正在跳街舞。 中秋快到了,这里还准备举办月饼展销会。 小广场旁边,西秀山脚下还有一座寺庙,名为“圆通寺”。是两进的庙宇,据说始建于1352年,后来逐渐建成一组宏大的建筑群,曾排名安顺三大寺庙之首。但到“文革”后仅剩一座大雄宝殿,近年已经修复。 圆通寺旁边就是我在山上看到的天主教堂,这是一个四合院建筑,两厢是二层楼,正面是礼拜堂,墙面是用精石料砌筑成正三角形,顶部有十字架。 走进礼拜堂,麻雀虽小,五脏居全,很像那么回事。 看过了圆通寺和天主教堂,继续前行,来到有一个十字路口,这里正在进行路口改造。透过围栏,看到街区对面有一组古建筑,这就是安顺武庙。 安顺武庙是很有名气的建筑,原名慈云寺,据说始建于明洪武十五年(1382年),有600余年历史,原名寿亭侯祠,后改称关帝庙。清康熙五年(公元1666年)改建为武庙。在民国八年(1919年)因将关羽、岳飞合祀,又称关岳庙。但安顺人一直称其“安顺武庙”。 武庙大殿石柱堪称安顺各寺庙之冠,36根石柱全系整料白料石,柱间均用厚木枋穿斗连接,其选料之精,雕凿之实,连接之妙前所未有。整座武庙囿于地理,占地不广(仅3200平方米,为文庙的三分之一),但其规制齐备,布局精致,殿宇楼阁相得益彰,廊庑厅厢各呈特色,座北朝南之象观亦合武运之道。武庙泮池成八梭形,暗合八卦,此亦有别于其他古建筑,为武庙增色不少。大殿塑像有二,皆关羽像,一为坐像,一为行像。一殿二像且为同一人,此构思布局匪夷所思,为天下唯一。其柱联贴切有味:“兄玄德,弟翼德,德兄德弟;师卧龙,友子龙,龙师龙友。”([]

我像大多数少年一样,也偷骑过家里的摩托车,后来被母亲发现,因为担心我的安全,才不得已将车子转让。 我一直认为母亲骨子里的闯劲要强于我,我后来的坚持行走和母亲对我精神上的影响密不可分。母亲上了年纪以后,更萌生了一些闯荡的想法,比如徒步西藏。她想了,便开始准备,之后的半个月中,她两次徒步往返30公里以外的外婆家。我看她认准了要做这事,于是积极帮她准备户外旅行用品。她也将我中学骑过的自行车翻出来维修保养,骑行锻炼。 外婆和母亲的妹妹说母亲疯了,反对她的一意孤行。而继父也不愿意和母亲结伴同行,导致家庭气氛一度乌云笼罩。母亲很难过,我更替母亲难过,一个人想实现自己的理想,要遭受如此多的阻力。 母亲很喜欢我的那些摩托车,我骑过的她都很喜欢。她不会上网,就用手机拍下这些车子的照片存着一个人的时候默默地看。她最喜欢我的BMW 650GS Dakar,她总和别人形容,我儿子骑宝马,那个车子如何如何威猛。 我这几年的行走,大多是自私的痛快,钱够生活了,就偷溜出去透气。2012年春,有了我和雨的蜜月骑行之旅,我深刻意识到,旅行是快乐的,而家人应该分享这种快乐。2012年12月21日,传说中的世界末日,不去管它真或者假,我只想带上生命中最重要的两个女人雨和母亲一起旅行,无论生死,在一起就好,在路上就好,圆梦就好。 感谢潘修环先生,让我的梦想有机会成为现实。https//www.whtv.com.cn/whtv_dslm/tv1/b/z/201209/t20120919_321202.shtml关于随菠逐雨的一则采访 从北京八一制片厂录制湖北卫视的综艺节目归来,开始出发前的准备。这个环节就像上班时的例会,要说的、做的还是那几件事,但却又非说非做不可。 我接手的是一台嘉陵的企业展示车。这台车平时是用来做企业文化宣传、展示、路演的,后来要卖,但武汉车友无人问津,所以被搁置在嘉陵仓库里落了厚厚一层灰。车子实际里程数非常少,而且性能调校很不错,只是外观有几处磕碰,局部保养不周有些起锈。 以一台JH600A的价格获得了这台JH600B,我觉得还是值得的。我准备把它稍事打扮,随我、小雨和家母去远行。接手这台车属于权宜之计,因为母亲的首次长途旅行,我不想让她骑行;而一年两次长途骑行,对于雨的身体消耗又实在很大,思索再三,我决定选择JH600B作为此次旅行的座驾,向日葵色板官方一家三口同乘一部车子,有说有笑、其乐融融,想必也是非常美好的。 接手JH600B之前有些担心行李空间不足,等真正见到它时,所有的担心就烟消云散了。JH600B座椅后部的行李空间实在很大,放一个人进去都并非难事。 今天把车辆送去兄弟的专业汽车美容店进行外观保养,并在边斗中铺设汽车使用的地胶,隔音,耐磨。同时网购了GPS电源插口改装件以及3条全新轮胎,等这些配件到后,再做整车的保养(包括机油、机滤、冷却液更换;链条、牙盘维护;更换进口电瓶等)。八一制片厂内,和节目中的4位“妻子”合影。“人生是如此的辉煌,生命是如此的精彩”,和延参法师聊生活、聊机车、聊女人产生要带母亲一起去旅行的想法源自她的一条短信。 2012年8月20日今天感觉好多了!记得平生还是第一次感冒、发烧,病得如此重。连续三天高烧39°,还好昨天早上体温降到37.7°,今天体温终于正常了。我的身体一直都挺好,不太容易感冒更不会发烧,这次的情况可能是因为年纪大了吧。人要是患了病就像垒不起的一滩烂泥,眼睛都不愿睁更别谈想做事了,就连想想都觉得难,咳,什么也干不了。哈!现在好多了真的要好好想想我要做的事:我想把徒步西藏计划提前一步,在明年开春我生日那天出发(4月3日),是否对生命存在的思索有更深层的意义?不知老伴是否也愿意陪伴我一起同行,如果不愿意我也不会怪他,我能想象的到这么久的路程要走到何时,路上有多少艰辛和困难在等着。还有很多想象不到的难,谁也无法预料这么久的路程都会发生些什么,到那时都必须要去面对。所以老伴愿意陪伴是求之不得,皆大欢喜;不愿意也是情理之中,那么就有我自己去挑战,我是不会给自己打退堂鼓的。儿子,替我多多谢谢那些关注和关心我的圈里人,我不会让他们失望更不会让自己失望。还有一段时间我可以做些准备,这是我给予自己的一次最高峰的生命之旅。 母亲这条短信深深感动了我。她病得最重的时候没有告诉我,而自己抗过了痛苦把迎接希望的信心带给了我。她是一个经历过太多磨难但仍然有梦想的人,她在实现梦想的过程中阻力重重,而我要做的就是帮她克服这些困难,勇敢去追求梦想。今年初的东南亚之旅,使用了米雅贡嘎的大型防水袋,感觉防水效果和扩展容量都非常满意。所以在淘宝上又购置了两只,满足我、母亲、小雨的随身物品存放。国内可以买到的女款摩托车车服实在不多,几经周折才找到MOTO-GIRL品牌的女款车服两件。粉色小雨,黑色母亲。同款异色,两人搭配起来应该非常好看。 经过《户外探险》杂志的介绍,今年3月我开始与专业户外品牌kailas进行合作。2012年东南亚蜜月之旅,KAILAS提供给我和小雨宿营装备(帐篷、睡袋)以及户外情侣装、软甲冲锋衣等向日葵视频色版下载进行试用。KAILAS的VIVI小姐亲自为我和小雨挑选每一件情侣装,用她的话说,她觉得自己在为我们挑选嫁妆。让我非常感动。 这次为母亲圆梦的长途骑行活动,再度受到KAILAS的支持,VIVI小姐为我、小雨、母亲准备了一箱户外装备,今天快递到家中。 我不是高帅富,我是穷屌丝。KAILAS的向日葵视频色版下载我是消费不起的,但我却有幸能用得上这样专业、时尚的户外向日葵视频色版下载。感谢KAILAS的慷慨,感谢VIVI的体贴,感谢所有朋友的支持。世界末日,我为大家祈福。 武汉武昌有一条又窄又乱的巷子,里面隐着三位“技术型宅男”。一位是进口车维修技艺高超,拆各色发动机如探囊取物的聂权聂师傅;一位是弯管焊接,制作的护杠媲美进口原装的二伟师傅;还有一位精通KTM,刷电脑搞改装,拥有完美KTM 990SMT的胡炯胡师傅。我车子碰到的大部分问都会找这三位“技术型宅男”解决。 这次也不例外。JH600B就在这条又窄又乱的巷子获得新生。 新款的JH600B应该表头位置已经安装了车载电源插头,我这款还是需要自己动手改装。这次出行使用的GPS仍然是服役了3年的Garmin 400T。 上午电话给嘉陵武汉的负责人,得知发票和合格证刚刚办好,应该下午会发快递给我,这样看来,上牌照至少要推迟到下周一(17日)了。 武汉市区目前摩托车牌照无法办理,只能考虑武汉郊区。近郊纸坊区只接受本区居民办理车辆上户。下午把小雨的身份证变更到武汉郊区,临时身份证也要周二下午(18日)才可以拿到。 嘉陵JH600B的轮胎是建大轮胎专供,三轮可以互换,型号是4.10-18 75P,与普通2轮摩托车的轮胎不通用。淘宝上的价格接近400元一条。米其林、普利司通、倍耐力都没有同型号侉子适用轮胎,说明嘉陵600B与建大轮胎是战略性合作,国向日葵视频色版下载牌的强强联手。 更换全新的4.10-18 75P绝对是个体力+技术活。“技术宅男“聂权聂师傅歇了三口气,抽了4根烟,花了近2个小时才把3条全新轮胎更换完毕。建大的此款轮胎花纹深、胎质饱满,触感偏硬,是为复杂路况、长距离穿越设计的轮胎。我预估此轮胎正常负荷使用,应该可以连续行驶10000公里以上,等待事实验证了。 母亲原计划17日下午的航班。结果飞机故障,推迟到18日早飞武汉。我电话母亲说,如果真是20、21日的航班,还真不放心让她乘飞机过来。 目前遇到些麻烦。JH600B武汉全市无法上牌,只能去咸宁办理,代办人员说要10天左右。等不及,准备将车运至云南楚雄,结果物流又碰到麻烦,德邦、天地华宇、中铁都不受理。佳吉受理了,但只能运至昆明,且要价过高,仅打箱和运费就近3000元。 考虑从武汉骑车过去。但母亲年前需要回家陪外婆过年,这样国外旅行的时间就被压缩。 要想一个办法才行。 办法总比困难多,对此,我坚信不疑。 当我获知佳吉快运武汉至昆明收费近3000元时,我开始考虑接受最坏的结果:从武汉一路骑至云南。最大的问首先是车辆没有合法手续,任何一次交通检查都有可能终止向日葵色板官方期待已久的旅行。其次这个季节行驶在中国中部地区,赶上恶劣天气,身体承受的痛苦绝对够骂自己一万次SB。还有国内路程过长,我不得不压缩东南亚的行程,这对于将首次跨出国门的母亲来说,绝对是很大的遗憾。 午饭后,天气放晴,我觉得自己需要再出去碰碰运气。从网上获知大型的物流市场都集中在武汉汉阳区,距离我的居所几十公里,于是驾驶JH600B向汉阳走。我是外地人,对武汉不熟,对汉阳更加陌生,一路走一路问,经过了十几个路口,擦身几十位交警。今天的汉阳也不知道发生了什么情况,交警扎堆,每过一个路口就有4,5位警察叔叔。我心提到嗓子眼,但只能故作镇定,以正常偏慢的速度向前行驶。速度不敢提,怕交警认为咱做贼心虚,在下一个路口截堵,JH600B这车想逃还真是难度不小。 人品一路爆发,支持我从居所顺利开至物流中心区。前后走了三个物流中心,最终找到一家做云南专线的三志物流公司。老板是个小伙子,瘦高、很精神,读高中的时候也是个摩托车爱好者。JH600B不打箱直接运输,省去打箱费用。我听他详细描述完车子如何用叉车送到货车上,用什么样的箱子进行隔离、保护工作,才放心不少,交了运输费用,打车回府。 网购了21号去云南的火车票,世界末日,向日葵色板官方就要出发了。 从云南可以陆路入境的国家有三个:越南、老挝、缅甸。 越南允许携带自行车进入,对于摩托车的政策不是非常清楚,有车友成功从老挝进入云南,但大部分被挡在国门之外。老挝允许携带摩托车入境,目前磨憨-磨丁口岸基本是国内车友自驾去东南亚的唯一通道。缅甸的政策比较特殊,瑞丽口岸可以深入到缅甸境内,而其它几个口岸只能在距离边境线几十公里范围内活动。瑞丽口岸不允许携带任何交通工具,只能乘坐旅行社巴士前往曼德勒以南。 老挝和泰国都可以落地,但问是从磨憨出境,如果没有老挝的证,中国方面可能不允许出境。但从泰国清孔返回老挝会晒口岸时,是可以入境老挝再办理证的。我是昨天晚上才大概了解这些信息,所以打消了去磨丁口岸办理老挝落地的念想。网上联系了一家昆明的旅行社,老挝和泰国证大概需要5个工作日。计划抵达昆明后将护照委托旅行社去办理,然后快递至西双版纳。而向日葵色板官方则前往楚雄办理车辆落户,之后去西双版纳等待护照到手。[摘自母亲笔记]2012.12.17 我期待已久的时刻终于来临。 今天我早早起床了,天气真的很冷,但很晴朗。我带着一颗火一样的心愉快地踏上我梦寐以求的旅程。 来到候机大厅准备换登机牌,可怎么也想不到,当我把身份证递给前台向日葵视频色板APP官网小姐,得到的不是登机牌而是一盆冷水:这次航班由于飞机故障还没有从武汉机场起飞。 她哪里知道我的心情?你想象得出狼吞虎咽时被突然卡住了喉咙的样子么?我张着大嘴瞪着眼睛望着她,像傻子一样愣在那里。服务小姐也盯着我看,又重复了一遍刚才的话,我才缓过神来。 天哪,这温度降得也太快了,真的一点准备都没有。我从高空一下给摔到谷底,不知所措。[摘自母亲笔记]2012.12.17 我期待已久的时刻终于来临。

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 locations 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([]
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.

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 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([]

线路简介:西藏的阿尔卑斯B线,是本人原创精心策划和设计的线路!位于念青唐古拉山东段,地处林芝的西北方向,那曲嘉黎县东南方向,距离林芝和嘉黎县都是一百多公里,虽然距离不远,从林芝方向到达徒步起点,包车还是比较方便,但如果从嘉黎县包车到达徒步终点的位置就相对危险很多,沿途峡谷、急流,山路崎岖,基本都是碎石路面,时而会有落石和滑坡现象,夜间和雨季更不要冒然行进。公路路况不好,交通不便且非常危险!这次的徒步起点为娘蒲乡,终点为忠于乡。南北气候差异较大,途中遇到冰雹,雨雪,冰川,河流,乱石坡,碎石坡,森林,沼泽,草甸,沙石路,河滩,断崖等等路况及天气。整条线路对于高海拔适应还是比较合理的,但危险性相对较高,有好几处危险路段,而且有几处容易迷路!线路攻略:至此这条线路游记公布后,不少朋友咨询,在此还是简单写写关于线路的一些重要节点和危险路段,及线路行进的相关事项和建议:整条线路可以划分为两部分,既从娘蒲乡到崩嘎村可以划分为第一部分,崩嘎村到忠于乡为第二部分,这里重点说说第一部分:第一部分线路安排:行程:娘蒲乡(3798)--扎拉1号垭口(5395)--杰拉山谷(4190)--崩嘎村(3800),行程为重装五天,注意事项:从娘蒲乡出发头两天虽然有大路行进,但还是建议全程徒步行走,布如沟的风光非常美,也为翻越后面5400米左右的扎拉1号垭口做海拔适应。队伍行进在第二天以后尽量不要落单,注意预防大型野生动物(如狗熊,黑熊等等),行进至第三天树林时,这里容易迷路,尽量在有经幡的附近寻找小路行走。扎拉1号垭口是根据多个地图数据得知的另外一个扎拉垭口而命名的,也是原本计划翻越的未知垭口,整片狭小的山谷区域都可以叫做扎拉。翻越垭口的路况艰难,陡峭,地形相对复杂,大片的乱石坡和冰川遗留,行进中要切记量力而行,控制队伍的行进范围。扎拉1号垭口至杰拉山谷路段基本都能找到小路行走,但途中也会有部分过头顶的灌木林,遇到时尽量队伍保持紧凑,避免迷路造成不必要的麻烦。杰拉山谷至崩嘎村有明显的藏民小道。线路延展:到达崩嘎村后可以安排两天时间前往琼波戈措观景台营地,往返线路观看雪山和冰川景观,切记,山路陡峭,攀升较大,山坡后半段路迹不明显,有迷失方向的可能,下山要注意保护,防止滑落。由于第二部分的线路未知性太多,翻越罗琼拉垭口也是相对危险性较大,前后的冰川和山体的风化不确定因素较多,从综合考虑,不建议前往行走。而后面的尼屋藏布山谷由于13年7月堰塞湖的灾难,导致当地地形和道路变化极大,出行非常不方便,要是今年的雨季和雪季后,还不知道道路和地形会有什么样变化,不可抗拒因素太多,所以非常不建议这几年再次前往,再者忠于乡当地政府已经不让游客进入,所以想要反向行进的朋友也最好打消这样的念头,安全第一,尼屋藏布那边的道路地形复杂,几年内还是很难恢复的!在此忠告山友们,望能理解!此攻略为本人提示和建议,途中所遇到任何危险和突发事件均已本人无关,请客观的评估您行进的队伍,做好风险预案!

这是去年的事儿,算起来,去年的今天正是出发的日子,已经一年了。 游记写完了加起来一算,竟有13万多字,想了想,还是在这儿交个作业,如一位朋友所说,“唯有记录下旅途上的点滴,才能不辜负那些路上的人和事。”也算是借8264,对曾经在路上给予过帮助的人致以谢意,路上遇到的朋友说不定也会看到这篇作业,问所有人好。 文笔不好,流水账,拍照技术有限,仅为记录,选了两千张图片一起交上来,因为工作比较忙,只能空闲时间慢慢更新,不知道什么时候完结,但肯定不会太监。 先谢过所有来捧场的朋友,如果您能坚持看完,就是对我最大的鼓励了。 路上卡片机随手录的一些片段,回来简单做的视频。 《搭车去尼泊尔》目录: 搭车去尼泊尔 之 前言简介、行程概览、费用统计、装备情况等 一、启程,南昌→昆明 二、单车逛昆明

后记:愿在路上,不问天涯 搭车去尼泊尔 之 前言简介、行程概览、费用统计、装备情况等 有些朋友可能想问:为什么要选择搭车和徒步,选择走滇藏线和中尼线?出行多少天,多少公里,花费多少?大致行程是怎么样的?带了哪些装备?工作后怎么会有这么长的假期?等等问,所以先将这些情况做个简要说明。 为什么选择搭车滇藏线和中尼线去尼泊尔? 08年夏天,大学毕业后,我从武汉来到南昌,开始了人生第一份工作,至今已有三年。 08年底,我的一个朋友,肯,跟我一个单位的,到云南昆明工作去了。之后一直没机会见面。 09年夏天,在南昌,我的一个兄弟,也是老乡,马达,大学毕业后进藏藏漂,工作地点在樟木,就是那个喜马拉雅山脚下、中尼边境口岸的小镇。他离开南昌时向日葵色板官方喝酒,我说,如果有一天我能骑单车去西藏,就去看你。 10年夏天,我请探亲假,骑车到了拉萨,但无奈假期有限,即将结束,没能去樟木找马达,在拉萨呆了三天返回。 10年初,旅游卫视有一部很火的节目,叫《搭车去柏林》,我相信这部真人纪录片影响了国内很大一批年轻人和背包客,我承认,我也是在看了此片之后,萌生什么时候能搭车走一次长途的想法的,无他,纯粹只为想换个在路上的方式体验下。 06年,在网上被一篇徒步墨脱的帖子打动,知道了墨脱这个地方,开始有了想去徒步的想法。 11年6月,一个偶然的机会,我换了工作,将离开南昌,去沿海的另一座城市。在去新单位正式报到之前有点时间,便想趁这个间隙走这一趟长途,于是7月中旬将南昌的工作交接完毕。 之前我没有去过云南,也没有出过境。所以决定这次选择搭车走滇藏线和中尼线。 于是,在一切准备妥当之后,2011年7月21日,就这样出发了。 行程简介 这次出行,前后共计53天。 因为出发前并不能确定时间长短,所以没做太多计划,比较随意,基本属于边走边看情况。按照大致设想,先坐火车到昆明,然后从昆明出发,边搭车边徒步,沿滇藏线、中尼线至尼泊尔,游玩途中某些点,或者选择去徒步。 出行方式为一个人,重装。至于路上是否捡到伴或者被捡,随缘,走几天是几天;是否露营,看具体情况和心情。 大致路线:南昌→昆明→大理→丽江→泸沽湖→虎跳峡→香格里拉→德钦飞来寺→雨崩→芒康→波密→墨脱→林芝八一→拉萨→羊湖→江孜→日喀则→珠峰大本营→樟木→尼泊尔加德满都→奇达旺→博卡拉→加德满都→樟木→拉萨→武昌→南昌,总行程约12000公里,包括火车、汽车,搭车以及徒步等方式。实际搭顺风车路段为昆明→拉萨→樟木,共搭顺风车33次,行程约3000公里,从拖拉机、摩托车到奥迪、陆巡都有过。途中徒步里程约为650公里。总的来说,大部分前进的里程是靠搭车完成,但大部分的时间是在走路。路线图 花费统计 作为一个自助游的驴子,原则就是当花钱则花钱,不值得花的就省掉,不大手大脚、不铺张、不浪费,我相信,穷游也可以玩得很好,玩得很开心。(其实穷游意味着你可以用省下的钱走更远的路。) 这次出行全部费用总计约5500元人民币。主要分为以下几个部分: 一、出行交通类: 南昌→昆明,火车硬座,107 大理→丽江,小车,50(本来上车之前说好是搭车,但到丽江之后司机说让给点油费) 丽江→泸沽湖大巴往返,及包车,227 虎跳峡镇→香格里拉,小巴,30(搭车未果) 德钦→飞来寺,包车,15 飞来寺→西当温泉往返,包车,80 香格里拉→普达措,包车,20 派镇→八一,中巴,50 珠峰大本营→白坝村,摩托车,100 樟木→拉萨,大巴,200 拉萨→武昌,火车硬座,375 武昌→南昌,火车硬座,52 加上公交、的士等,交通费约1400。 二、门票类(不包括尼泊尔境内):共670元 泸沽湖 100 虎跳峡 50(张老师小道10,拍照5) 香格里拉普达措国家森林公园 190 梅里雪山雨崩景区 80 扎什伦布寺 55 珠峰国家级自然保护区 180 三、住宿类: 总共46晚(不包括尼泊尔6晚),17个晚上没有花钱(7晚搭帐篷,3晚火车,1晚货车,4晚跟朋友混,2晚借地儿打地铺),住宿共29晚,住宿费约750元。 四、尼泊尔花费: 2011.9.1-7七天,在尼泊尔境内所有交通、食宿、购物、门票,1500元。(出关前换了1500人民币,回樟木后剩下的卢比还换回了50元) 五、剩下的费用就是平时吃饭、补给、购物以及其他花销了,约1200元。 行程概览 D1-D2/2011.7.21-22 火车,南昌→昆明,31个小时。投奔老友肯,混在其单位宿舍。 D3/2011.7.23 单车,骑游昆明。 D4/2011.7.24

备注:因为包的容量有限,也考虑到背负后的重量,后来就没有带移动硬盘、溯溪鞋、望远镜等一些物品。打包后也没有刻意去称重,估计所有东西加在一起约25KG,路上有时还会补给干粮和水。当然带了的东西也并不都是全部用上了,有些东西确实无形之中给后来的徒步增加了负重,很痛苦,但具体情况不一样,自另当别论。 出发前的全部家当了搭车去尼泊尔(一):启程,南昌→昆明 D1-D2/2011.7.21-22 这是南昌的七月,夏天最为火辣的时候。阳光像针一般,刺在皮肤上,空气闷热而干燥,知了在樟树叶子下有气无力地呻吟。即便坐在屋里一动不动,汗水都可以沿着脊背涔涔而下。 我背着硕大的登山包,走下楼去,桑送我到公交车站。因为将离开南昌,半个月前,我就退掉了在市区租的房子,混在朋友的租房里,连同所有的行李,七八个大包裹外加一辆自行车,搬过去的时候整个儿就一搬迁户。 2路车,哐啷哐啷,驶向火车站。公交电视上全是姚晨的大嘴广告,“赶集了!”,放了N+1遍,更添聒噪。身上早已被汗水浸透。 进了火车站候车室,人群密密麻麻。我排在队伍的最后面,去昆明的车还有不到一个小时发车。 突然手机响起来了,一看是朝阳姐!她说,她和兔子、云飞扬姐,还有小黑要来火车站给我送行,问我在哪儿,我告诉了她位置。穿过拥挤的人群,我翘首寻找,终于看见兔子穿着橘红色的前进队服,在人群里大声叫着“盼盼!盼盼!”大家的突然现身送行,是我没有料到的,很感动。 短暂的话别之后,带着飞扬姐送来的水果,还有大家的叮嘱和祝福,踏上了火车。 到昆明的这一趟车是一节绿皮慢车,人们被封闭在车厢里,就像附赠了免费桑拿,浑身的汗水如黄河滚滚而下。对面的一位大姐中暑了,另一位大婶在跟她掐人中。 已记不清流了多少次汗,T恤一会儿干,一会儿湿,身上黏糊糊的,像在岸上打滚的泥鳅。过道上站了不少人,很拥挤,跋山涉水走了5个车厢,没有热水,泡面也懒得吃了。到夕阳西下的时候,温度才渐渐降下来。 夜深了,车厢里的旅客们大多已经倚斜着头睡着。我完全没有睡意,望着窗外发呆,晚风一阵接一阵灌进来,凉快透了。心里突然有一点小迷茫,为这未知的行程。 列车不紧不慢地驶着,到第二天早上才出湖南,进入贵州。进入贵州之后,山区渐多,天气终于不那么炎热了。火车穿过一个又一个漆黑漫长的隧道,看见黔东南的一片秀丽山水,一路是连绵起伏的山,山谷内间或有三两人家,屋舍虽陋小,却俨然有致,屋前阡陌曲折,鸡犬相戏,稻田泛青。 坐着或站在我周围的,是一群从江西前往云南的打工者。他们,一行十人,来自赣州石城,听同乡说在西双版纳有事做,于是集体前往那边打工,全部站票,南昌到昆明仅这一趟绿皮车,三十多个小时,他们说,这车是给没钱人坐的,好车都不往西开。他,来自新余,自言二十岁出来就到昆明打工,基本上一直生活在那里,上个月他还回了趟老家,家中还有两个念书的娃。他和他,都是江西老表,他在北京、唐山等地的工地上呆过,这次要去西双版纳,他一个表妹的老公说可去那边做缅甸的玉石生意,他也是来自工地上,呆过四川、青海等地,这次他准备到昆明谋事,俩人相谈甚欢,互通名姓,居然是同姓本家,于是互留手机号,于是这老乡在异地就有了纽带。我喜欢在火车上默默听这些人的经历和故事,这样会更了解中国,不管他们将去何方,祝愿他们都有一个好的明天。 在路上列车停下来的时候,山区里,会有一群小孩子追着列车卖山梨,梨很小,一块钱两枚,但买的乘客不少,因为这趟列车时间太长,还没有热水。卖梨的孩子在铁道上随着旅客的呼声来回奔跑,扒在车窗上,双手捧上梨,接过乘客手里的硬币,不一会儿就卖完了两篮,累得满头大汗,但脸上挂满笑容。真希望他每天的生意都这样好。 进入云南已是第二个黄昏过后。第二天晚上十点多,历经三十一个小时后,火车抵达昆明。老友肯早已和他女朋友在火车站等候我多时了。打的到白马东区,住在肯单位的宿舍。肯曾和我一同进入南昌的单位,但几个月后转奔昆明,好几年未见。他长我八岁,在南昌时向日葵色板官方曾住隔壁,经常一起做饭、打桌球。听说他不日即将大婚,房子隔年也将交付,真替他高兴,真心祝福他们幸福。 是晚太累,好好洗了个澡,粘床便睡着了。我在人群拥挤的火车站,排在队伍后面,等待着开往昆明的火车。在火车上拍的,初见云贵高原。在火车上拍的,铁路下面就是河流与峡谷,火车在崇山峻岭间行驶,穿过了一个又一个隧道。路上列车停下来的时候,就会有这样的小孩子追着列车卖山梨,梨很小,一块钱两枚。卖梨的孩子在铁道上随着旅客的呼声来回奔跑,扒在车窗上,双手捧上梨,接过乘客手里的硬币,不一会儿就卖完了两篮,累得满头大汗,但脸上挂满笑容。火车上,第二个黄昏时的夕阳,将远处的山峦笼罩在金色的余晖中。 搭车去尼泊尔(二):单车逛昆明 D3/2011.7.23 早上醒来,肯加班去了,我骑了他的山地车出门,一个人逛昆明。 相对于内地的夏天来说,春城温度并不高,但阳光很晒,紫外线比较强,如果不穿长袖、不戴遮阳帽,一会儿就会觉察到胳膊、脸上热辣辣的。 先计划骑车去爬西山。在市区内辨路时,正好遇到一伙昆明的车友骑车出游,一看见车友,我就感到很亲切,追上去问他们去哪儿,他们说去易门,一天往返,一百来公里,还有后援车,在得知我也是外地过来的车友后,还热情地邀我跟他们一起同去,我是非常想去,但时间有限,遗憾不能同行。问他们去西山的路怎么走,他们告诉我会经过山脚下,让我跟着队伍,于是跟着昆明车友的队伍,骑行至西山脚下,然后告别。 虽然西山最高峰罗汉峰的海拔有2511米,但因为昆明本身地处高原,海拔比较高,所以西山的相对海拔并不是很高,只有几百米,骑车爬起坡来难度并不大,二三十分钟就可上去,一路有很多车友来此锻炼,或正爬坡,或正疾驰下山,再加上徒步的游客,山路上显得很热闹。昆明西山,华亭禅寺这里长眠着一个年仅24岁的年轻音乐家——聂耳,中华人民共和国国歌的作曲者。骑上西山后,在山顶俯瞰滇池,蓝天白云下,滇池漫无边际,一碧如海。滇池的水非常绿,因为滇池属富营型湖泊,部分水域呈异常营养征兆,水色暗黄绿,内湖有机污染严重,导致湖水绿森森的像油漆一样,走在湖边还能闻到死去鱼虾的腐臭。政府为治理滇池污染,连续投入已超过40亿元,但收效甚微,目前仍呈重度污染状态。快艇疾驶过滇池昆明徐霞客纪念馆、昆明杨升庵纪念馆。徐霞客是中国户外界历史上公认的大侠,杨升庵是明代三大才子之一、正德六年状元。碧树掩映下的升庵祠升庵祠前的睡莲已悄然绽放碧峣精舍。杨慎(升庵)曾经讲学的地方。午后的巷子内,光影斑驳。滑过滇池上空的缆车滇池附近的湿地公园,生态环境很好船房河。船房河岸的午后很静谧,茂盛的湿地、水鸟、鲜花,浓密的树阴下,有人乘凉,有人垂钓,有人看书,有人野营聚餐打扑克,有人在吊床里享受甜蜜的梦境。西华园,午后,休闲的人们,更像是一个亲子乐园,来回奔跑玩耍的孩子们。西华园内,放风筝的小女孩西南联大旧址,在今云南师范大学校内国立西南联大原教室,看样子应该是在遗址基础上整修或重建的。夕阳余晖下,让人对那个大师辈出的年代,神往不已。闻一多先生衣冠冢西南联大纪念碑翠湖公园的荷塘 这一天骑着车在昆明市区内逛了十来个小时,一直到晚上八点才回到肯的宿舍。我告诉肯,明天就打算离开昆明,往西走,开始真正的搭车和徒步旅行。晚上,两人好好腐败了下,喝了点啤酒。 出发前,我心里并不是很有谱,因为我从来没有搭过顺风车,不知道具体该如何去操作,上网查了一下出市区的路线,弄清楚怎么坐公交出城,决定到城外再去找机会,又查了下云南各地车牌号的字母代号,大致知道了走滇藏大致要搭往什么方向去的车。 只能跟自己说,祝我好运。然后睡觉。 未完待续搭车去尼泊尔(三):第一次搭车的艰辛,大理古城,洱海露营 D4/2011.7.24 今日行程:昆明→大理,搭车2次,里程300公里。徒步约7个小时,徒步里程30公里。 离开昆明的这一天我起得很早,5:40,按计划今天要搭车到大理。收拾好包,和肯告别之后,6:50离开了他住的宿舍。我走在大街上,径直向最近的公交车站。先乘公交到了明波家具城,下了车,下车之后的我一时有点茫然,周围是高架桥,众多过往的车辆,清晨的环卫工人在打扫马路,空气中弥漫着灰尘。 “嘿,伙计,现在没公交车了,轮到你搭车了,赶紧的啊!”我仿佛听到自己在心里跟自己这样说。可是我不知道该怎样去搭,我从没搭过顺风车,该怎样把车拦下来,并说服人家免费搭我呢?我的心跳咚咚加快,手足无措,接下来该……?现在回想起来,当时的紧张确实有点搞笑,但对于一个没有尝试过搭车的人,心里完全没谱,第一次的心理活动就是如此。 我在心里转过了很多个想法,该怎么拦,拦下来怎么去说,要是别人不搭我该怎么办,等等诸如此类的情况,但想得越多反而越紧张。我想起《搭车去柏林》里的拦车的姿势,矜持地举起了右手,朝上竖起了大拇指。 但不得不说,非常没底气,举手的姿势很不理直气壮,而且脸也不敢往后多看。这么多过往的车,我总觉得我的姿势很别扭,于是伸着手臂,埋头往前走,侥幸地希冀着有车能停下来。 显然,这样是没效果的,因为首先,这是在市区高架桥下面,这么多车没人会突然停下来,搞不好后面的车就追尾了;第二,我埋头朝前走,别人连我的脸都没看清,怎么可能停车;第三,也许这些车根本就不去大理,只是在市区近郊活动。 我就这样走着,沿着马路走了四十分钟,走过了高架桥,到了高速和国道的分岔路口。一路很多车经过,但这么久了根本没人鸟我,伸着手在路边半天别人看都不看,让我有点小受伤。我在岔路口徘徊着,到底是沿国道继续走呢,还是在高速路口继续等呢?如果走国道得走到什么时候,在路口等好像这里也不方便停车……纠结死我了。这时,一伙山东大学的自行车队,沿着国道320方向,穿着统一的T恤,打着旗子从我身边过去了,经过我身边的时候见我背个大包站在路边,还冲我喊加油,哎哟,小振奋,于是决定:沿着国道走! 边走边拦,依旧没车睬我。突然有个面包车在前面停下来了,我的心跳在加速,感觉血脉贲张,赶紧跑上去。开车的是个女司机,大姑娘问我,到哪里,我说去大理,她说不到大理,我说到前面下也行,她问我出多少钱,我叽里咕噜地说了一大通,表明自己是个旅行者,准备徒步和搭车去尼泊尔的,想搭免费车等等,那姑娘尴尬地一笑,摇上车窗,开走了。我站在原地还没反应过来,感觉有点懵,回味这笑是什么意思,意识到自己像个SB,心想,说那么多干嘛,不就是蹭车搭吗,可又一想,说得具体点,这不显得我真诚嘛!得,得,没人搭,走路吧。 走了一段,天开始下雨,套上防雨罩,撑开伞继续走。后来雨停了。爬上一个大坡,已经离市区很远了,有点累,把包扔在地上,站在路边等。依旧没有车停下来。后来,一辆面包车停下来了,隔着窗问我出多少钱,可想而知,我说想搭车后又开走了。 我有点沮丧,开始怀疑,是不是我的搭车方式有问,还是,车根本就不是这么搭的?想不明白。 功夫不负有心人,大约九点半,终于又停下来一辆面包车。司机本来想跟我谈价钱,但听了我的讲述后,告诉我去大理不应该走国道,而应去高速收费站等。往前面一公里就是去高速的路口,可以载我过去。我兴奋极了,菩萨诶,终于开张了!搭一公里也是搭啊,赶紧把包丢上车。 搭我的司机是彭大哥和另一位大哥。不一会儿到了路口,下车跟他们说再见。然后沿着土路走了一段,绕到杭瑞高速/G56上,又往前走了一段,到达昆明西收费站。 站在高速路边,我心里充满期待,这里有无数辆车经过,我以为机会大大的有,马上就可以走人,结果再一次失望了。每秒钟都有好几辆车过去,但没有车停下来问津。阳光暴晒,我在路边伸着手臂,手臂都快举断了。转眼四十分钟过去了,我又开始怀疑是不是我的方式有问,于是跟眼镜牛(当时他在搭车国境线)发信息,说怎么拦车都没车停下来,咋办,眼镜牛说最好上去问,多谈谈。我想这里不是加油站,不太方便交谈,然后我又想了想,是不是司机不知道我这姿势是想搭顺风车啊?还是不知道我要去哪里就不停?于是,我掏出日记本和笔,写了两个大大的字,“大理”,平举在胸前。虽然我感觉还是有点怪,但总算表明自己的意图了。 但这块牌子也并没有让我立刻搭上车,眼看着眼前一辆辆车经过,有的司机还瞅我的牌子望了一眼,但就是没停下来。一开始我有点焦急,像热锅上的蚂蚁,毫无头绪,手臂平举着久了也酸痛不已,后来慢慢淡定下来,安慰自己,也许是缘分没到吧。 在昆明西高速收费站,在那尴尬地等车的一个小时里,我看着眼前经过的成百上千辆车,却没有属于我的缘分,直到欧大哥和黄女士的车在我旁边停下来,问我去哪里,我说去大理,他们说上车吧,那一刻,我突然有点感动,一下子参悟了搭车的真谛,“从现在开始,我开始相信缘分,有些人就是在特定场合特定时刻来让我遇见的。” 欧大哥是一名律师,黄女士是他女朋友,在法院工作,小俩口要从昆明去德宏接一件案子,会路过大理下关,于是载上了我。聊天中,他们得知了我的旅行计划,很感兴趣,不时问我一些关于西藏的问,欧大哥说还没去过西藏,想什么时候自驾带上女朋友去玩一趟。车厢里响起BEYOND的《海阔天空》,我说,我也挺喜欢这歌的,欧大哥会心一笑。 我坐在后座上,欣赏着窗外的景色,一路蓝天白云,绿色的田野和山峦,风自由地吹着,心情像天气一样好。三百公里的路程结束了,下午两点,大理下关,我下了车,告别欧大哥和黄女士,目送他们的车去德宏。谢谢你们。 在下关吃过午饭,准备坐车去大理古城,一开始走错路,问路,转车,终于到达大理古城,下午暴走大理城中各处。大理是座很漂亮的古城,但也有大多热门旅游景区的通病,人太多。 快天黑时,我准备去洱海边扎营,开始往洱海方向走。在大理城内眺望洱海,似乎很近,以为很快就能走到,但走起来才发现错了。一个多小时后,天已经黑了,我在一片水稻田中间的土路上,连洱海的影子都还没见着。白天本已负重走了一天,此时早已心力俱疲,浑身酸痛,进也不是,退也不是,人都快疯掉。错误地轻信了高原上的视觉距离,看山走死马啊。硬着头皮往前走,后来到一个叫小邑庄的村子,跟两个小孩子问路,确认没走错路。进一条窄巷,穿过村子,终于到达洱海边上。 洱海边有几个小孩子在洗澡,我选好扎营地址,几个小孩子好奇地围过来,七手八脚地帮我搭帐篷。搭好帐篷,坐在湖边发呆,过来几个散步的游客,成都的一家三口,天南海北地聊了一会天。后来村子的村长经过,也聊了一会,他说他承包了洱海的一个片区,负责清理垃圾,政府每月补助800块钱。他走的时候反复叮嘱我好几次,一定要注意安全,这里的治安并不是特别好,我点头答应。 帐篷搭在伸向湖的一条石头路上,洱海边就我一个人,有水鼓荡的声音,鱼跳动的声音,还有远处的狗吠,蒲草间的虫鸣。晚风轻轻吹着,我坐在海边的石阶上,对岸有灯火,天上有漫天星斗,除此之外,一切静极了。 那个晚上,上半夜洱海边的风特别大,由于是石头路,没法打地钉,我的帐篷晃来晃去呼啦啦直响,明显地感到被风压向了一边。挂在帐篷上的手电光也是飘摇不定,好像风雨夕的烛火。我睡在帐篷里,感觉很揪心,担心我的帐篷杆被刮断,或者外帐被风掀走,那就是个十足的杯具啊。其实晚上那个村长过来和我聊天的时候就说,晚上这里风很大,我说我一百多斤的重量压在帐篷里还能把我帐篷吹走?是的,的确是吹不走,但是风可以把我的帐篷当气球玩,一会大一会小,还玩得挺带劲。风,你能不能不要这么调皮地玩我的帐篷?我只祈祷今晚不要下雨,否则明天就会在洱海中游泳的梦境中醒来…… 结果,后半夜风就悄悄遁了去,一夜无梦到天亮。(手机照)我搭的第一辆车,司机师傅是彭大哥和另外一位不知名的大哥。在昆明城外的320国道上,从某坡顶搭我到去高速的路口,虽然只有一公里,但对我来说意义很重大。我搭的第二辆车,欧大哥和他的女朋友黄女士,从昆明西高速收费站搭我到大理下关,300公里。他们从昆明去德宏出差经过大理,载上了我。崇圣寺三塔之一崇圣寺三塔之一大理古城北门大理古城大理古城大理古城内的街道树下冥想的老者大理的洋人街大理古城的街道大理古城内,骑单车的外国美眉大理古城内的建筑古城内的流水大理五华楼城门开灯饰品店琳琅满目的灯饰大理古城地理识大理古城家家有流水户户有繁花苍山上的云徒步去洱海的路上,一片水稻田洱海边露营的夜晚洱海边的夜晚布满繁星搭车去尼泊尔(四):洱海日出,丽江漫步,夜宿黑龙潭 D5/2011.7.25 今日行程:大理古城→丽江古城,搭车2次,里程165公里。徒步8公里。 早上天刚亮,在我露营的码头就有附近的村民前来洗衣、挑水、散步,窸窸窣窣的脚步声,没办法再睡,只好起来,拿了相机坐在洱海边等日出。我在洱海边的营地。天边现出朝霞,等待日出。洱海边的村民,在湖里捕鱼。洱海边的村庄朝霞洱海日出收拾好营地,准备启程,自拍一张上路吧,对着我的影子说。大片的稻田,穿过这片稻田,远方就是大理古城和苍山。一开始,我沿着这条土路要走回大理城内,不过半路搭上了一位大哥的车,不然要再走一个小时。 看完日出,收拾帐篷,徒步往回走,去大理古城内吃早饭。这一段土路比较长,本来至少要走一个半小时,但走了半个小时后,路上开过来一辆小车,我抱着试试看的态度招了下手,车居然停下来了。我问司机能否搭我出这段土路到公路上去,师傅答应了。运气真好,不然我还要走一个小时才能出去。 进大理古城吃了早点,又回到马路边,开始搭车去丽江。车很多,但不太好搭,我像昨天一样,写了个“丽江”的牌子举在胸前。一直等了40分钟后,杨女士的车停在我前面,搭上了我。 杨女士是丽江人,跑旅游的,女儿刚高考完毕,报的西南民族大学,她开私家车带女儿去昆明玩,今天回丽江。车子沿着盘山公路疾驶,杨女士车技确实很赞,驾轻就熟,开得既快又稳,不愧是开车跑旅游路线的司机。路上会遇到骑单车的车友,我都会在车上跟他们大声喊加油,因为我有过经历我知道,一个人骑单车走长途,尤其是在爬坡的时候,路上任何一个陌生人的鼓励都会让人觉得倍受鼓舞,觉得世界美好。曾经那些陌生人带给我的鼓励,我要把它带给每一位单车进藏者。 快到丽江的时候,路不太好,据说是因为在修机场。下午两点到了丽江市区,直奔古城。下车的时候,杨女士突然跟我说,这样吧,你还是给点油费吧,因为我们毕竟是跑旅游的。我感到有点意外,因为在大理上车的时候,我就说明了自己是搭车旅行者,而且路上我也有提到自己的计划是搭顺风车去尼泊尔。但我又想了想,没做争辩,问多少钱,她说五十,其实这个价钱相对于这段路来说很公道,即使坐大巴也要这么多钱。我付给了杨女士五十元钱。 这件事确实有点特殊。一般来说,搭车路上,如果司机停下车问你,你表明想搭车,如果他说可以,那没什么问;如果说他问你出多少钱,你可以表明自己是搭顺风车,不付钱,如果他能接受,就搭,不能接受,开车走也没什么问;又或者在实在搭不到车的情况下,花点钱也是有可能的,但之前要谈好价格。有的车是专门跑旅游的,是拉客的车,不可能免费搭你,但有的车是顺路自驾的车,可能搭你,但也可能跟你讲价钱。 就杨女士的事来说,我不能说她的行为不对,毕竟人家帮助了我,如果不是这样,也许今天我会在路边等更久,也并不是钱的问,只是之前我表明了是搭车,她也答应了,后来向我收钱,确实有点意料之外。也只能说在搭车的路上,什么情况都可能遇到。我搭的第四辆车,大理古城至丽江古城。路上遇到的运送火把的车辆。那几天正好是当地少数民族的盛大节日——火把节,这辆车后面装的就是节日用的火把。车上拍的,路边的风景。 到丽江后,进入大研古镇,找地方吃饭,之后在镇上闲逛。开始太阳挺大,后来下雨,并越下越大。我在大树下避雨,看着古街上来往的游客。丽江古城给人的第一印象:小资,美女,酒吧,客栈,庭院,各种特色小店,总之,是妞们大爱的地方,来这里的妞们,喜欢披个披肩或是穿波西米亚的长裙,一副风情万种的女文艺青年样,要不就是热裤吊带高跟鞋,大秀美腿。但有一点必须承认,美女确实很多。 在城内溜达的时候,有个年轻人叫住了我,他叫小潘,从南京过来的,大三学生,他的旅行方式跟我差不多,搭车、徒步,要到拉萨去。他出门的时候带了600块钱,7.3号从昆明出来,9号走到到丽江没钱了,就一直在古城内某酒店里打工,要到30号结账。他表示想和我一起走,问我能不能等,但我估计不太可能会在丽江呆到30号,因为计划还要去泸沽湖和虎跳峡徒步,于是我说看情况吧。相互留了手机号,随时保持联系。但其实最后小潘离开丽江走滇藏的时候一直在我前面,一直到拉萨。向日葵色板官方一路保持联系,他给我提供了不少有用的信息,只是后来一直没机会再碰面,他到拉萨的时候我在墨脱,我到拉萨的时候他去珠峰了,我去珠峰的时候他又回拉萨了,我再回拉萨的时候他已经回去上学了。 刚开始进入古城的时候觉得人还挺少,直到走到四方街附近,才发现游客都扎堆在这了。天还未黑,酒吧一条街已经喧闹非常。我穿过酒吧一条街,一直往黑龙潭方向走,我想在天黑之前找个合适的露营地。进入黑龙潭是需要凭借缴纳的古城维护费收据的,为了逃票,我脱掉鞋,趟过没膝的河水,借着灌木丛的掩护,进入了黑龙潭景区。在里面转了一圈,露营地址选在湖心岛上的“得月楼”下面走廊上,这里位置绝佳,既能遮风避雨,又适合取景拍照。 晚上八点多,开始搭帐篷。此时公园里还有稀稀落落的游客,有几个山东游客见我这样很好奇,问了下我的行程,觉得很神奇,要拉着我一起合影,真是受宠若惊,搞得我都有点不好意思了。 到了晚上九点二十,景区内就一个人也没有了,灯也全部熄掉了,静得连掉根针的声音都听得到。有几只不知是家猫还是野猫,在外面叫唤,被我轰走了。打开手电,在帐篷内记日记,肚子咕咕叫,想起晚上一直在找露营地,连晚饭也忘了吃,只好啃了个苹果充饥。 公园里非常静,只剩下幽蓝的湖水和漫天的星光,我出去拍了几张夜景,回来躺在帐篷里,睡不着。我能遥远地听见山下的酒吧里传来的歌声,还有人群的欢呼声,那应该是人们在火把节上围着篝火狂欢的声音,彝族、白族的火把节要持续三天,明天会更热闹。我在山上,只有静静湖水,灿烂星河,鱼跃起拨拉湖水,水鸟的呓语。不知道为什么会想起“孤单是一个人的狂欢,狂欢是一群人的孤单”这句话,真是莫名其妙。丽江的餐馆([]
圣诞节从阳朔回到常德后,努力工作的同时,又思索着下一步的驴行方案.有一个心结在我心中纠结了半年之久,说来自己都觉得脸红,那还是去年八月在成都宽窄巷子遇到一群去梅里雪山驴行的美国驴子,第一次听到梅里雪山的名字竟然出自老外之口,确实令闹哥汗颜.,自此,梅里雪山的日照金山-----卡瓦格博峰便时常的出现在我的脑海中,从网友各种关于云南的帖子中吸取经验,为了梦中的卡瓦格博,赶紧不惜血本从淘宝购买了哥仑比亚加厚羽绒服和佳能70---200远焦镜头并初步拟定了一条十五天左右的驴行线路.常德-----昆明------丽江------束河-----虎跳峡徒步------香格里拉---独克宗古城--葛丹松赞林寺-------梅里雪山------雨崩徒步-------丽江-------昆明------常德.线路搞定后正是春节前后,常德至昆明的特价机票是一票难求,看来只有耐着性子慢慢的等待时机了. 生活在希望中的人是幸福的,每天工作之余在自已的qq空间里听着许巍的蓝莲花,幻想着束河的小资,虎跳峡的雄伟,香格里拉那永不消逝的地平线,葛丹松赞林寺的藏族佛教文化,卡瓦格博那神奇的日照金山,雨崩那迷人的藏族风情,就在这一切的一切都在美好的期待中时,大胆邀请我和他一同驴行稻城,亚丁.虽然我知道稻城,亚丁有着非常美丽的风景并具有十分挑战性的徒步线路,但并不在我今年的驴行计划之中,他得知我的彩云之南徒步计划后马上赶来看攻略,时间,交通,景点,住宿及费用控制一应具全,立马决定要和闹哥徒步云南,随即加入的有丫头,长沙的玄色及最后成行的另外五位长沙驴友,独驴变为加强班,何乐而不为.人多力量大,大胆马上查到三月四日常德飞昆明的机票270元,三月十五日昆明飞常德的机票199元,机会难得,事不宜迟,赶紧订票. 期待着三月四日插上隐形的翅膀飞往向往中的彩云之南,尽情的放飞自己.但多次独驴的经历己使自已成熟了许多,心态平和了不少,不再有往日即将远行的亢奋.因为我深深的知道,我每次开心的旅行背后,都有妻子,母亲,儿子和朋友们默默的祝福和支持,这是鱼儿对水的依恋,这是树叶对根的情谊.不知不觉中期待的时刻终于到了,老同学徐勇盛情的为我在彪二餐馆举办送行宴,捷安特车友波菜,观潮,东东,佳佳也是在不断的玩笑声中给与我祝福,真诚的谢谢你们,有亲人及你们的支持与祝福,我将飞得更高,走得更远............. 向日葵色板官方的机票描述在机埸要办的第一件事就是先用身份证办理机票手续图片IMG_8832.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]出行前的大胆一直处于高度的亢奋中,在候机厅里也是精神抖擞图片IMG_8831.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]望着远处的飞机,淡定的吸根烟再走吧图片IMG_8841.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]临上机前,机场的向日葵视频色板APP官网员跑过来问我,是不是你的三角架忘在安检处了.看样子我被机场严格的安检弄晕了头,还没出常德就开始丢东西.不过从内心来讲真的很感谢这位向日葵视频色板APP官网员.[ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 0201重新编辑 ]图片IMG_8857.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]很多年没坐飞机出行了,记忆中上次坐飞机是九四年从长沙飞广州,最近两年也经常和捷安特的车友一起夜骑斗姆湖来看大鸟,但很少如愿.图片IMG_8867.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在飞机上看到邻坐的美女在吃零食,才感觉向日葵色板官方把吃的东西全放在托运的登山包里绝对是个错误.不过大胆还是挺有办法的,美言几句,居然弄到了一袋九三鸭霸王的鸭肠子,那味道,别提有多爽了.[ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 0212重新编辑 ]载着梦想腾空而起从飞机上看云海绝对是一种心旷神怡的感觉.图片IMG_8901.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]因为司职摄影,所以两位小兄妹特意照顾闹哥坐在靠窗的位置,期待有好的pp献给畅游天下的朋友们.近在眼前的云海时而若隐若现,气象万千.图片IMG_8923.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]我浮在天空里自由的很无力图片IMG_8927.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]天空明净蔚蓝,白云朵朵,轻风悠悠.在这云蒸霞蔚的世界里,是怎样的一幅景象呢?这里,一样的风霜雨雪,一样的日月星辰,一样的春夏秋冬,不一样的是我们追寻梦想的心.图片IMG_8908.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]飞行不到两个小时便到了昆明图片IMG_8976.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]从飞机上看到的昆明货运编组站图片IMG_8977.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]降落在巫家坝机场图片IMG_8979.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]1922年,当时云南的“土皇帝”唐继尧要建立空军,从法国驻越南空军手中买了30架旧战斗机和15架旧教练机,就在昆明巫家坝修了个飞机场。图片IMG_8980.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]昆明机场,原是巫家村的牧场。昆明人把平地称为“坝子”,此牧场便得名巫家坝。光绪年间,清军在此建兵营,巫家坝成立练兵场。辛亥*****那一年,蔡锷率新军第十九镇七十四在巫家坝兵营发动“重九起义”,推翻了云南的清政府。1922年,巫家坝陆军操场被改建为飞机场之后,从1939~1945年间进行过两次扩建,成为我国抗战时期最繁忙的军民两用机场。图片IMG_8981.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]始建于1922年的巫家坝机场是中国的第二座飞机场,“重九起义”蔡锷部队的驻地、讨袁护国新军的大操场,抗日战争中美国陆军第十四航空队“飞虎队”的重要基地,闻名于世的驼峰航线的终点站,为我国抗日战争的最后胜利立下过汗马功劳.巫家坝机场在我国近代历史上具有重大的历史纪念意义和价值。 [ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 2018重新编辑 ]图片IMG_8995.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]一下飞机向日葵色板官方便感受到春城昆明的迷人魅力,阵阵春风拂面,令人心旷神怡.图片IMG_8996.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]出机场后我们一行三人打了个的士赶往火车站与先期到达的长沙驴友会合.图片IMG_8998.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在火车站广场和先期到达的玄色会合后便找到一家滇菜馆先饱餐一顿.图片IMG_9003.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]玄色,长沙资深驴友,她中午飞到昆明后帮向日葵色板官方购买了当晚去丽江的卧铺票,另外五位成行的长沙驴友因为没买到特价机票改坐火车过来,故行程要比向日葵色板官方晚一天.至此,三人团变为了四人帮.图片IMG_9004.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]背上装备,徒步前往车站.图片IMG_9011.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在候车大厅我们是一道靓丽的风景线,浙江的驴友给向日葵色板官方来了张合影.[ 此帖被陈为民在11-3-19 2109重新编辑 ]图片IMG_9015.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]k9606次双层全卧铺车晚十点二十四分由昆明开往丽江图片IMG_9018.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在候车时遇到四名浙江,广西,福建,山东的驴友,他们计划用三个月的时间徒步梅里雪山大环线,在火车上向日葵色板官方留下了联糸方式.佩服他们的勇气并祝他们一路顺风图片IMG_9019.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在火车上,大胆还沉浸在幸福之中.图片IMG_9026.jpg[[url=]删除[/url]]在车上的过道上,玄色给向日葵色板官方秀了一把瑜迦,其优雅的身姿令我们叹服不己.在火车上舒服的睡上一觉,凌晨六点到达丽江车站.(
