历山为于山西省南部,地理坐为东经111°51′10″—112°5′35″,北纬35°16′30″—35°27′20″,总面积100平方公里,极顶舜王坪位于山西沁水、垣曲、翼城、阳城四县交界处,海拔2358米,是华北南部最高峰。 历山奇峰壁立、沟谷纵横,中心区域地形复杂、人迹罕至,因此保持了完好的原始面貌,被国务院于1982年确定为国家级自然保护区。历山核心区面积7541.5公顷,这里有华北面积最大、保存最完整的原始森林,各种植物多达1400多种,各种乔木、灌木达560余种,其中有8种属国家二、三类保护植物。此外还有菌种类植物资源如猴头、灵芝、银耳、冬虫夏草等。另有药材资源麝香、菖蒲、黄岑、党参、人参、何首乌、当归、苍术、五味子、连壳、籽黄等220种,年供全国各地百万斤以上。良好的植被为各种野生动物提供了良好的栖息地,这里有野生动物330余种,占山西境内动物种类的80%以上。其中有有金钱豹、黑鹳、金雕等国家一级保护动物9种。二级保护动物29种。历山还有悠久的历史及丰富的人文景观,舜王坪因舜耕于历而得名。《史记》记载:“舜生于蒲阪(今永济市),渔于获泽(今阳城县),耕于历山。”坪顶有总面积4000亩的高山草原,山巅有舜王庙、南天门、斩龙台等胜景。历山的另一高峰皇姑曼则传说是舜王的妻子蛾皇生活过的地方。然而,最吸引我的是历山神秘的72混沟。户外界有“墨脱归来不言路,混沟归来不言沟”之说,可见混沟名气之响。混沟是指以皇姑曼为中心呈扇形分布的72条沟谷,1936年阎锡山的部队为修铁路而伐木进入混沟,结果断送几十人性命,更有甚者说是进去一个团,只出来一个连;2002年中央电视台【早安中国】栏目和太原龙网组织了历山探险活动,全国征集户外志愿者1000多人,最后选拔出10人。在有强大后援、直升机配备的情况下,以一人中途死亡而兵败历山!打开网络,敲出混沟两字,随便一搜就会搜出一堆各种各样的传说、消息...... 一、好事多磨上路难 5年?还是6年?说不清始自几年前,我就开始关注历山,默默的为穿越历山做着前期准备,梦想着有一天能走进历山,走进混沟,然而那时有关历山的信息很少,更别说攻略了,直到06年后,河南驴友多支队伍先后去历山,历山的攻略才多了一些,然而种种原因我的历山行却迟迟没能进行。历山地处偏僻、交通不便,虽说距石家庄直线距离仅仅几百公里,但要去一次仅路上就要花差不多两整天时间,而穿越混沟一般需要3天时间,因此去一次历山至少要5天时间,再加上混沟地势复杂,只有天气晴好时才能进入,时间上还要留有一定余地,考虑到来往路费较高、路程占用时间较长的原因,本着少花钱多走路的原则,我在穿越混沟的基础上又增加了穿越东、西峡和舜王坪的计划,这样一来去一次历山就需要七天以上的时间,只有黄金周大假才有可能成行。考虑到春节不适于穿混沟,唯有天高气爽、雨雾概率小的十、一是去历山的最佳选择了。去年十、一我曾做出了穿越历山的计划。我的计划是由东川开始穿越,首先穿越东峡,再步行或乘车于后文堂,找向导毕俊杰带路上皇姑曼、穿混沟,出后河后再乘车回西哄哄(或后文堂),再穿西峡上舜王坪,最终从下川踏上返程。如果有时间的话,返程还可以去沁河古村落一游。计划是不错(至少自我感觉不错),但最后时刻却因报名人员少于最低4人的出行要求而中止计划。今天十、一,我再次发出了历山行的召集贴。历山穿越示意(根据记忆绘制,可能有误) 10.1很快就要到了。27日晚最后确定人员,有的本来有意参加的驴友因这事那事去不成,还好有5人确定出行,看来今年历山之行黄不了啦。28日6点就去买票,不料30日不论是到晋城的2163还是到济源方向的K589或K183票都已出完,想换成太原方向的车也没有合适的车次,无奈,快8点时又跑了一趟火车站,想实在不行只能买1日的票了。意外的是这时2163倒有了30日的票。出了火车票,不料下午老马又打电话说单位30日下午有重要的事,2163可是中午1点多的车,他下午有事企不是去不成了?老马又说此事没最后定,让等一下他的消息。“30日不行1日出发行不?如行我就与其它人勾通一下,改一下车票,推迟一天出发”。推迟一天意味着计划就要压缩行程,但没有办法,因为老马是两个人,他若去不成向日葵色板官方就只剩3个人了,那就少于最少4个人的出行要求。29日上午去改车票,工作人员告知1日的车票已全部售完,无法改(原来火车票字是要占用正常的车票额度的)。电话联系老马商量怎么办,老马开口的第一句话就是“一个坏消息,我肯定去不成了,推迟到1日出发也去不成了,因为夫人身体欠佳”。头痛,真让人头痛,难道又要重蹈去年取消活动的复辙?可票已出,取消出行的话仅退票就要损失好几十元钱的,更重要的是会让铁心走混沟的老于、efun寒心。关健时候幸亏老朋友老席冲破千难万阻顶了上来,这才保证了最低的出行人数,不过老席很不厚道的要敲我的竹杠,“你得请我,我要是不去你们又去不成了”。“啊呸!想的美”。30日是国庆前的最后一天,是我们国庆出行的第一天。中午1点,我和老于、efun、老席会齐于火车站,滚滚人潮中向日葵色板官方终于上路了。此行的4个队员:前排左efun、右为笔者,后排左老于、右为老席列车习惯性的晚点(对此我们已习以为常),走出晋城车站时已是晚上9点35分,车晚了一个多小时。一般人去历山都选择走垣曲或沁水,我却特立独行的选择了走阳城,因为从地图上看,我们穿越的起点东川村虽说属于沁水,但离阳城更近一点。由晋城坐班车到阳城换班车到口河,再由口河包小面或三轮车翻一道小梁就是东川。这样走比从晋城坐班车到沁水然后包车到东川费用要低一些。不过最终这个计划没能完全实现,这是后话。夜色中的晋城火车站找个小旅馆住一晚,第二天一早乘6点10分的班车,7点25分抵达阳城。打听去口河的车,一位工作人员操着很浓重的地方口音对我说:“去口河?坐8点去李圪瘩的车,那车现在还没来,你去问下那边停的那辆黄壳车,问他李圪瘩的车还来不来”。“黄壳车”?我转了一圈儿也没看到什么黄色的车。再问那个工作人员,那人很热情的把我领到了一辆开往横河的车前,“这不就是黄壳的车么”。我这才明白他说的“黄壳”是“横河”,原来当地口音横、黄不分。李圪瘩的车没来,向日葵色板官方只能坐这辆去横河的车,到索泉岭再包车,从地图上看索泉岭到口河大约10多公里。班车驶在阳城的街道上 班车司机为向日葵色板官方联系了一辆小面。索泉岭(李圪瘩与横河公路的忿路处)下车,小面已等在路旁,司机开口就要150。好家伙,虽说没走过这段路,但我知道索泉岭到东川不过20来公里,撑破天也到不了30公里,哪值150?讨价还价,一番语言大战,僵持了20多分钟后那个司机同意100元把我们送到东川。向日葵色板官方坐上了车,他又说他没去过东川,要去“问问路”。这一问问又来了,他叫来的一个老乡对向日葵色板官方说“去东川的路断了,三轮车都过不去,更别说汽车了”。小面司机说:“东川是去不了了,这么着吧,减20,80,我把你们送到裴圪台”。在我印象里从口河拐进去没多远就是裴圪台,离东川远着呢,但为了赶时间,我实在不想再争来争去,又认为断路的地方不会是裴圪台村边,应该更靠里,所以同意了司机的条件,但要求他尽量往前送一送,送到车确实不能再走为止。车上路了,一路上上下下,大约10多公里时过了一个明显的岔路,是水泥的岔路,心中怀疑那就是去裴圪台的路,但又觉的司机是当地人,即使没去过东川也不可能不知道去裴圪台的路吧,怀疑就没有说出来。再行不远是一个不小的村子,名柴圪瘩。听到柴圪瘩三个字,我意识到路肯定是走错了,下车一问,果然错已过了去裴圪台的路口。小面在柴圪瘩村准备掉头 柴圪瘩村的一户民居车掉过头来,向刚才看到的岔路奔去。拐进岔沟不过两公里裴圪台已到,过裴圪台村不过一里水泥路已到尽头,司机说前边的路不能跑了。看看前边的路确实不强,向日葵色板官方只好下车。整包上路,边走边议论:此地距向日葵色板官方下班车的索泉岭不到15公里,这么近的地方作为当地人不可能不知道这条岔路。老席说这点路最多值50元,司机所做的一切(问路、跑错路等)都是在表演节目,我们被小小的涮了一把。唉,人在江湖飘,哪能不挨刀。水泥路的尽头众人在做出发前的准备 二、牛刀小试东峡路10点55分,向日葵色板官方沿着一条有无数车辙的三轮车路上路了。按我事先的计划,向日葵色板官方本来要在今天10点前后到达东川,再用大约4小时的时间穿越东峡,然后在天黑前赶到后文堂过夜并联系带向日葵色板官方穿混沟的向导。可现在快11点了,向日葵色板官方才刚离开裴圪台,这儿离东川还有约15里翻山路,按经验,15里山路至少要2小时时间,那今天向日葵色板官方还能按计划在天黑前赶到后文堂吗?现在看,悬。行走在通往东川的大路上 一路走在前边的efun 一路上行。这条路上有两个村子:前松甲、后松甲,前松甲人还多点,后松甲却仅剩两户人家,几乎被废弃,至于建于两村之间的松甲小学更是只有一间教室,并早已成了一座空房。过后松甲路拐进另一条沟里,脚下的路开始盘山而饶,路况越来越差,坡也越来越大,不过始终是贯通的,这点从路面上众多的新车辙可以看出来。完全不象“路断了,三轮车都过不去”的样子。被废弃的只有一间教室的松甲小学几被废弃的后松甲 拐过几个弯后是一山口,一辆三轮车正从对面开下来,看到眼前的路,看着缓缓下行的三轮车向日葵色板官方才明白这路小面确实是上不来,不过你明说路太差,车没法跑,只能送我们到裴圪台不就完了,干吗非要叫个老乡来演双簧,借它人之嘴说什么路断了呢?efun还是走在前边,老于和老席则在不远的后边边走边聊,好象有说不完的私房话。脚下是大大小小的乱石,我只顾埋头走路,两无暇旁顾。正走着,忽听后边的老席象发现新大陆似的喊着什么。走回去才发现路旁的崖壁下有两座坟茔。这种方式的墓葬还真不多见,若非其中一座坟茔外面垒砌的石墙坍塌,还真不知那是两座坟墓呢对面来了一辆三轮车后边的老席在看什么崖壁间的两座坟茔过山口路拐进另一条沟里,山坡上有古松,有房屋的废墟,左侧的沟中还有大片的梯田,显示过去曾有人在些居住、生活过。我感觉田间的小路能通到向日葵色板官方要去的垭口,然而又怕走错了路。算了,还是走大路吧,虽说饶远但保险。路边的一棵古松,其旁有房屋的废墟 接近垭口了,路旁的石是红的,脚下的土也是红的,efun捡到了一块煤渣,他怀疑红土下边有煤矿,老席则认为那煤是过往的车辆上掉下来的。应该是老席说的对吧。路的下边就是那片的梯田(后悔没有走小路,呵呵),已被废弃的梯田,梯田间也有废弃的石屋,看规模象是个住家。在这儿生活,水怎么解决?打井?走在红色的大道上 下边的梯田、房屋废墟 12点半,向日葵色板官方登上了垭口,这儿是阳城和沁水的界山,垭口处立有界碑,向日葵色板官方在此稍事休息,烟鬼老于坐在界碑上抽开了烟。这个老于,一屁股坐了两个县。下边的路是一路下行,路比想象的还好走,看样子用不了多长时间就能下到沟底,向日葵色板官方计划到了有水的地方吃午餐。过垭口不远有一平地,中间有一坟茔,坟前还戳着两个石塔,正在路旁休息的一老乡说那是当代一位县太爷的坟,这地方风水好啊。两县间的界碑 一屁股坐了两个县的老于 一位当代县太爷的坟茔 20分钟后向日葵色板官方已看到了沟底东川通东峡的公路,此时路的一边已有了水源,但大家都说进了东峡,找个山青水秀的地方再吃饭。弃大路走沟底,再行数分钟已上通东峡的水泥公路上。这么好的公路,莫非东峡已被开发?后边过来的一放牛的大嫂的话让向日葵色板官方放了心,“没有开发,只是修了一条路”。唉,不管多好的地方,开发就意味着被破坏,只要一开发就变味,这已成了规律,所以驴友最不喜欢的就是“被开发”。东峡路边的古塔路边的保护区责任牌,这样的牌子向日葵色板官方后来见过好几个走在“景区”公路上 公路走到头,两侧的山陡然收窄,东峡由此而始。东峡,北起沁水县下川乡东川村南,南至阳城县东哄哄村。全长10公里,其中核心地段长6.5公里,宽10至46米,是历山十四大景区之一。东峡谷深峡窄,两壁如削如切,谷中巨石累累、植被茂密,沟底溪水清澈、潭瀑相连,据说谷中有惊心石、黑龙潭、济公石等景观,还有三搂粗、号称全国最大杏树王的古树,更有抗日战争时期邓 小 平同志率部智勇走东峡,摆脱日寇围追堵截的故事。走进东峡东峡口的地貌现在向日葵色板官方脚下是石质河床,溪水从石上流过,将石切出一道深槽,形成潭瀑相连的景观,向日葵色板官方选择此处为向日葵色板官方午餐的地点,此时时间已是1点半了。兴奋让向日葵色板官方忘记了饥饿。各吃各的,谁也不肯替别人减负。人性啊,人性咋就这么差?咋都不肯助人为乐呢?雷锋同志在哪里?我的食品还是馕,只要不是冬季,我都是选择馕为中午的主食,这东西好啊,十天半月的坏不了,若是烙饼,夏季节令两天时间就会馊。向日葵色板官方开始午餐 一旁的小瀑从水潭对面拍午餐中的队友([]

(202 253 301 356 384 421楼加小视频)故事的开始应该从去年底和一对小夫妻去云南说起。三人到丽江后在当地报团,梅里四日行。此行交了很多新朋友,尤其是艾米和咋呼哥(这个外号我起的)很幸运的遇到他们俩,因为他们,我才第一次意识到,原来旅行可以一个人。因为我是多出来的单女,所以需要和其他团员拼屋。艾米---之后四天的室友。喜欢一个人有时候只是感觉,我和艾米很投缘。非要说原因的话,那就是她和我表姐感觉很像。在香格里拉的酒吧,在艾米和领队的谈话中,我第一次听到了雨崩。在我还没搞清楚雨崩到底是什么的情况下,已经和艾米相约,转年的六月底或七月初一起去雨崩。从云南回来,上网搜索,被那些有着耸动的帖子吸引,坚定了去雨崩的信念。登山鞋、登山杖、速干衣裤、背包、帽子、墨镜、雨衣.......对于我这个准备当初级驴友的人来说,需要装备的东西太多。接下来的几个月,我高兴的在网上买着。很多时候,理想和现实是不一样的。四月底,艾米告诉我,因为工作的一些原因,假期可能没有了,所以雨崩应该暂时无法去了。说好一起的,那就要一起啊!我是这么想的。既然这样,我就把下一个目的地提前--西藏(我答应过自己一定要去的地方)而雨崩--就这么成了旅行的备选线路。预定假期12天,在我生日前返回。这次的旅行,将是我送给自己奔三的礼物。买书、查路线、看相关信息,在我信心满满的时候,车票,这个我以为不是问的问出现了。假期已定,所以从出发日往回倒10天,我就必须买到车票。第一时间,票没刷出来。之后找了售票点的人,人家说车票都在旅行团手里。打电话到旅行社咨询,证实的售票点人员的说法。还是不死心,决定出发日前一天晚上刷票,如果11点前刷不出来,那就真的没戏了。6月5日,我从晚上8点多就守着电脑,隔几分钟刷新一遍网页,随着时间的推移,希望越来越渺茫。这时看到之前去梅里认识的领队在线,就和他抱怨起来。他说可以来雨崩,他正好带这条线。11点,没票。决定去雨崩。问他什么时候出发,他说9号。如果我要来的话,必须8号到丽江。我回答他"OK!"(后来才知道,他当时以为我是开玩笑的。)确定好目的地后,我开始计算行程和来回的日期,因为之前准备过,所以定行程并不困难。6月6日凌晨2点多,我网上买好了天津到昆明往返的机票。早上7点多,订好了丽江的客栈。下午3点去火车站买了昆明到丽江的车票。 6月6日晚上,在我定好一切后,通知了父母,明天的飞机。之前他们到是知道我要去西藏旅游,但具体细节不清楚。老爸很淡定,询问了一些细节,知道我都安排好后,只提醒我,女生单独出门,一定要注意安全。老妈很不淡定,睁着大眼看着我。她只关心一件事:我要一个人出门旅行。之前也和朋友去外地旅游过,但自己单独远行,这是第一次。别看我年纪不小,以前自己单独去外地,最远就北京。但现在我什么都订好了,她也无可奈何。我在她一晚上的白眼中,收拾着行李,她时不时的在我耳边叨叨,这么大事也不和向日葵色板官方商量一下。我承认这次旅行很突然,朋友们看到微博都很吃惊。有人问我怎么不等等她,过几个月一起旅行多好啊。可我不想等,等来等去,我也许哪里都去不了了。奔三了,做些自己从来没做过的事。既然别人可以一个人旅行,那我也可以!6月7日凌晨,行李收拾完毕。睡觉!CA1401天津---昆明 1545--1910老爸送我去机场。在路上他问我,晚上几点的火车。我说:“10点28,中间有三个小时的时间,除去进出机场火车站,还有2个小时,可以附近转转买点吃的。”“飞机晚点怎么办?”老爸突然冒出一句。“额......周围有大巴,也可以到丽江。”“晚上做大巴危险,你最好白天坐。”“那我晚上在那边也没事啊,你别乌鸦嘴,给我念点好行不行啊。”“我只是提醒你,各种可能会发生的事。”“我知道,所以我查了,周围有大巴。赶不上火车,就坐大巴。”下午两点多,我前脚刚踏进机场大厅,就收到航班晚点的短信。晕,我还哪都没去了,不会就这么不顺吧。飞机预计晚点一个小时,在询问了两个工作人员后,信息得到确认,算算时间,应该还来得及。托运完行李,过了安检,在候机大厅只能干等着了,好在机场有WIFI,刷刷微博打发一下时间。 6月7日1640飞机准备起飞从决定去云南到飞机起飞共计42个小时。出发的时候,天津阴天。云层上面却是另一番景象。这次的旅行,跟第一天飞机起飞后的天空一样。云层上面晴空万里,却在飞到云南境内乌云密布。飞机飞进云层、周围电闪雷鸣,除了黑压压的云雾什么也看不到,飞机不停的颠簸。但最后,飞机还是破空而出,云层外面豁然开朗。大约晚上8点左右,飞机开始广播,因为有气流的关系,没听清广播里说的什么。但隐约听到英文的840。这时前座的乘客拦下路过的空姐,询问到港时间。“940”空姐和蔼可亲的说。940!940!!!!!! 我当时汗都下来了。我1028的火车,还要等托运的行李,完了,完了,铁定赶不上火车。老爸的话看来要成真了。我是找旅店休息一晚,白天再坐大巴,还是直接坐大巴走呢?我心里盘算着。“不对啊,不是飞三个多小时吗?怎么9点多到呢?”另一个乘客问。“哦,840,我说错了,不好意思。”空姐温柔的说。呼.........我长出一口气。出机场打车到火车站也就十几分钟,如果时间不够就上车再找吃的。845飞机降落昆明机场 在传送带边焦急的等着行李,没等太久就看到我的大包,我背上背包就往外走。因为之前来过一次,所以直奔打车的地方排队。上车后司机主动和我聊天,也许因为第一次自己出来旅游,我兴奋的和他聊着。司机师傅人不错,在知道我是一个人后,好心的提醒我,要注意安全。如果有人拉生意,就说自己在等当地的朋友。在火车站附近的小摊买东西,一定要先谈好价钱,尽量使用零钱。如果没有零钱,注意找回来的钱,别有假币。遇到什么事,打电话报警,110很快就来,别忘了昆明的区号0871。看看表,时间还够,询问司机火车站周围哪家米线不错。司机推荐老滇,并开车到那里。我一只脚刚踏出车门,餐厅的卷帘门“唰”的就拉下来。额.........人家关门啦!好在司机并没有丢下我立刻走人,给我指明了去火车站的路。其实不远,只要我走到路口,就能看到车站,大概3个红绿灯的距离。步行10分钟,到达昆明站广场。 火车站楼下到是有几家餐厅。建新园,这地方查资料时有看过,晚饭就这了。点了一碗过桥米线,开心的吃了起来。可说实话,真的不咋地,米线汤除了重重的胡椒粉味道,其他真喝不出来。失望,吃了几口就吃不下了。 进站时查的还挺严,要扫描身份证核对信息,并在车票上盖章。坐上火车,终于踏实了!给老爹老娘发信息报平安,一切顺利!车开动,刷微博汇报情况,对朋友们关心的留言一一回复。折腾一天,我也累了,虽然眼皮打架,但睡不着。闭着眼想着自己一个人从天津到了2200公里外的昆明,明天一早就到丽江了。兴奋,激动!淡定,淡定........我对自己说。明天还有一天的行程,现在需要睡觉!好吧,什么也别想了!晚安,昆明没有太好的文笔,只是一篇流水账。没有单反,只是一台家用机,记录点滴。更新小慢,各位看官不要着急!6月8日 早上6点多就醒了,第一件事就是看手机刷微博。(表姐说了,随时关注我的微薄,超过一天不更新,她就报警。)手机没信号!!NO!!!!是不是机子坏了?一个人在外,手机没法用那就惨了。关机、拆卡、装卡、重启...........反复几遍后,一种不安全感向我袭来。 确定还是没信号后,我拿着手机放空!!“怎么要过这么多隧道啊,我手机都没信号了。”一个来自东北的大爷对他老伴说着。我突然被点醒,这才回神看向窗外,果然一直在过隧道。在窗外的风景连续的出现后,拿起手机,呼~~~~~有信号。0648拍照,发微博。新浪微博定位:云南省 大理白族自治州 鹤庆县 221省道车上的乘客陆陆续续的起床。睡在我上面中上铺的是刚才对话的东北夫妇,睡在我对面中上铺的两个女生来自广东。五个人开始聊天。东北的老夫妇退休后,除了有时给女儿看孩子,其他没事的时候俩人就到处旅游。他们喜欢爬山、徒步,瞄了一眼俩人的装备,貌似专业驴友!!从对话中我发现,上网查资料做功课的,应该是那位阿姨。夫妇俩打算先在丽江待一周,周边都游过之后再研究接下来去哪。看着他们,感觉真好,心想,如果找老公,一定要找一个能带着我到处旅游的。广东的那对女生,是利用假期来的,时间很短,今天到丽江明天就得走。我推荐她们可以到古城后找个旅行社,来个一日游什么的。730在向日葵色板官方的闲聊中,火车进站,挥手和他们告别。出站后,买了15号晚上返回昆明的火车票。车站广场直行,有公交。右手边的空地有几个人合租的小面包车,再往前是出租车停靠的位置。前胸后背各一个背包,实在不想挤公交,决定奢侈一下,打车走。打车到丽江古镇(大研古镇),大概十几二十分钟,30元。(貌似贵了,我记得上次好像不到20)司机说我这个时间段来不错,在过些日子游客就要多了。古城广场下车,虽然之前来过一次,但一时间还是有点找不着北。环顾一周,啊~~~~~~开封菜(KFC)哈哈哈哈,我知道怎么走了!!!!6月8日 0822早安丽江,我回来了!!!这是之前看丽江的城市宣传片时,片尾的一句话。看后老有感觉了,我告诉自己,如果再到丽江,我一定要对它说:“早安丽江,我回来了!”我是念旧的人,早饭点了去年第一天到丽江时吃的红油抄手。给早餐拍了一张照,上传朋友看后立刻回复,说猜到我会吃这个。去年花30还是40来着,在这里挂了一对许愿牌,拍个照,不知道我的牌子还在不在。可仔细看过之后,发现和去年的数量差不多。小道消息说,这个是要定期要取下来一部分的。我去!早知道不花钱挂了。来之前艾米推荐了高客,但我最后还是订了假期。理由很简单,我是路痴。假期客栈在四方街附近, 从地图上看,在一条大直线上,应该比较好找。9点多,顺利找到客栈。客栈阿姨人挺热情的,但住宿条件一般,没差啦,有地方住一晚就好。整理了行李,洗漱一番,拿着相机和地图出门。在古城漫无目的的逛着。“天雨流芳”好好听的名字。我属狗,所以喜欢狗。看到有狗,就走过去逗它。别看它个头不小,但哼哼起来,像小女生在撒娇。旁边护院的两只狼狗,全都睡着了。楼上传来年轻男女们的歌声,藏文的,没听过。歌声很动听,于是我在路边坐下。听着歌,逗着狗,刷着微博。我现在的状态,应该就是书里所说的“丽江慢生活”吧。听了4、5首歌后,在一曲《青藏高原》中起身离开。如果他们继续唱我没听过的歌,我想我应该会坐的更久。给自己来张自拍,别问我这是哪,我真心的表示我不知道。不知道自己走到了哪里,只是周围的人越来越少,直到发现周围一个人都没有,只有自己。心里有点小害怕,努力寻找周围明显的建筑物,与手里的地图对照着。自拍一张,通过微博告诉大家,我不负众望的迷路了!路痴生存的方式:找人多的路走。终于走到一条热闹的街道,往左看,官门口!我刚才是拐进去的啊,现在怎么站在门口?哎,不管了,好歹现在知道怎么走了。看看时间,该吃午饭了。前行不远就是小吃一条街。我被老板娘的吆喝吸引“云南十八怪,豆腐包着豆浆卖”花10元买了一份煎豆腐,一瓶牦牛酸奶回客栈。回到客栈看到阿姨做了一桌子菜,房客们围坐着吃饭。嘿..........早知道就回来吃了。阿姨好心的招呼我过来一起坐,可吃的都买了,总不能浪费吧。谢过阿姨的好意,坐在旁边的小桌吃着。席间大家互相讨论各自的行程,虽然不知道彼此的名字,但话语间就像多年的老朋友。和陌生人谈笑风生,却如此自在,这感觉真奇怪。 上次来,没去到黑龙潭,所以下午准备去那里。路过广场,看到一群大爷大妈边唱边跳,询问之下才知道这叫纳西打跳。坐在路边的长凳上,边欣赏边照相。衣服很特别,披星戴月?应该是这么说的吧。 人与人的缘分有时真的很有趣。旅行回来后,看到大哥的相册里也有这组照片。询问是不是8号下午130左右拍的,大哥查了图片的属性,结果时间一致。而且大哥竟然在唯一保留的视频中看到了我身影。可惜我的照片,没照到大哥和小欧。([]
2010.享受老挝慢时光. 01(行程图、攻略)老挝LAOS,全称Lao People's Democratic Republic。 在游客群中,老挝仿佛就是东南亚国家中号召力最弱的一个,或许是最易被人忽略的地方了,它既没有吴哥、蒲甘、素可泰刺痛心灵的历史古迹,也没有普吉苏梅、西哈努克、美奈芽庄那样海天一色的美景,但神秘、悠闲、恬静、与世无争,恰恰是这个小小佛国给予现代人最好的礼物。 老挝,它保持了东南亚最后的原始天然和淳朴宁静,未经雕琢的自然风光和质朴天然的风土人情,与现代文明的差距正是老挝的诱人之处。尽管经济落后,物质匮乏,几乎没有工业(可能至今仍旧是世界上最平穷的25个国家之一),但小小的、懒散的、仿若时光流转回去的老挝,却令东西方背包客趋之若鹜。或许,在原始的状态中享受悠闲的快乐,是种更为直接更为本真的快乐。 是的,老挝没有令人失魂落魄大惊大艳的风景人文,老挝有的,只是平淡渗透的美。只要你走近它就会发现,老挝其实就像那著名的Lao coffee,看似清苦,但在唇齿舌尖滑过之后,便会在心中印下淡淡的甘美。 走过老挝、放逐欲望。去吧,去老挝!享受现代人稀罕的慢时光......年初从南越旅行回来的时候,都不曾想到自己十一长假会游到老挝。 还是因各位老挝游回来的前辈,在网上留下了太多精美诱惑的PP和文字,加之查到2007年老挝当选LP背包客最想去的地方之一,心里面一下子就放不开老挝咯!这竟促使我改变了“提前一年就定好旅行时间和地点”的老习惯,最终在六月份上亚航下了订单,这次老挝旅行就这样突如其来鸟。 十天的辗转颠簸下来,总的来说,老挝之行比想象中轻松,之前一直担心的交通衔接问,由于旅游市场的逐步成熟,现在都有代理或GH可以预定点到点的大巴联票了,让游客省了不少力,真不错呢! 趁着刚回来的新鲜劲儿,赶紧把实际行程和tips记下来,以供向往它的XDJM们参考吧。实际行程: D1 昆明,傍晚1830卧铺大巴(新螺蛳湾南部客运站、24h、¥374)发车 D2 大巴临晨430途经勐腊~730重新出发~930途径磨憨~1030口岸过境+老挝磨丁Beton入境~之后沿老挝13号公路开行~ 1930 到达琅勃拉邦Luang Prabang城郊的北星宾馆。 D3 琅勃拉邦(清早看布施&逛早市、下午光西瀑布Tat Kuang Si、傍晚观湄公河日落、夜市购物) D4 琅勃拉邦(清早看布施&揽湄公河晨景、白天逛寺庙——香通寺Wat Xieng Thong、维苏那拉特寺西瓜塔Wat Visoun、皇宫博物馆Royal Palace Museum、傍晚普西山Phu Si落日、夜市购物) D5 琅勃拉邦800~VIP大巴(7h、240公里)~1500到达万荣VangVieng(南松河看日落) D6上午万荣(骑行郊游,or Tubing漂流);下午1330VIP大巴(4h、160公里)~1715到达万象Vientiane(湄公河边日落)~2030卧铺大巴(过夜) D7清早630到达巴色Pakse~730VIP大巴~1030纳卡桑村渡口Nakasang~15分钟渡船~1100到达东德岛Dong Det(湄公河看日落) D8上午东德岛(骑行看小瀑布,or包船海钓…);下午1600渡船~纳卡桑村13号公路口~1730VIP大巴~傍晚1930到达巴色~2000卧铺大巴(过夜) D9清早630到达万象;之后万象(早市场、香昆寺佛像公园、超市购特产) D10白天万象(逛寺庙——塔峦寺That Dam、凯旋门Patuxai、西萨格寺Wat Si Saket、玉佛寺Wat Ho Phra Keo); 傍晚万象~亚航~返程D11Tips 1、关于季节的问: 我们的十一长假,正处于东南亚雨季的尾巴。一般每天都会有阵雨,有时是一个多小时的倾盆暴雨,有时却只滴几粒眼泪水,最适宜的是晚上的那场阵雨。白天温度,也就在30~33°C,不下雨的时候阳光灿烂够晒滴,到了夜晚会好过一点22~25°C,通风好的房间只用吊扇就将就OK了(房间要开空调的话,那可是另一个价咯)。 但十一长假,却正好在老挝的旅游淡季里头(老挝旅游旺季是11~2月),呵呵,游客少,确实感受很深啊,不用担心好的GH客满,还可以低价入住!吃饭、订车票、户外活动也一样不用担心拥挤。 十一长假去的优点还有,植被茂盛稻田原野葱绿很养眼,缺点则是雨季河水太浑浊,湄公河几乎变“黄河”了,光西瀑布的钙化池也是黄蜡蜡的,全然没了“小黄龙”的影子,没有诱人的碧池,也容易失去下水的欲望。 2、关于老挝筛选游地的提示: 游客常去的老挝游点有:琅勃拉邦、万荣、万象、四千岛、丰沙湾、占巴色、波罗芬高原。因时间路线和个人兴趣之故,向日葵色板官方只去了前面四地。 琅勃拉邦——位于上寮,是老挝古都,必去!其中最大的看点在于:清早布施、逛夜市购物、光西瀑布钙化池跳水、普西山日落、香通寺的生命之树。 万荣——位于中寮。卡斯特地貌,探洞、骑行、turbing漂流、跳水、皮划艇、篝火狂bar......是鬼佬弄出来的户外活动经典之地,被称“山寨版阳朔”,两者的确很像,不过个人看法是:万荣就是万荣,不要以为去过阳朔就可以忽略万荣了。...以前,万荣遍布含大麻的酒饮,菜单上称之“happy xx”的,现在老挝禁毒,表面上几乎已绝迹了。 万象——位于中寮,是老挝首都,可能是世界上唯一位于边境的国家首都了吧,感觉上是很平易近人的一个国都。另,不要理解字面意思,“万象”可是一头大象也没有的,其实“万象”是粤语的译音,普通话直接音译应该接近“万听”之类的,台湾人则叫它“万珍”(呵呵,台湾人按照古时候的称谓,还称老挝为“寮国”的)。 四千岛——位于下寮,在与柬埔寨接壤的湄公河上,灰常原生态!鬼佬心仪之地。骑行、游船、河钓、晒太阳、看书、写东西、想心事、发呆、乱转......反正你去那里就准备好kill time就好咯。 丰沙湾——位于上寮,以看平原石缸为卖点的原生态地区,据说能看到更淳朴的清晨布施。 占巴色——位于下寮,也很原生态,以一处比吴哥历史还早的高棉石窟而著名,只是破坏程度也更厉害了。 ......没想到实际走下来,个人最喜欢的是万荣和东德岛两地,而且特遗憾的是都只住了一晚!!同伴J-J同学很经典地说,那是因为近来太忙的人才会喜欢乡下生活,哈哈,要是闲人会更喜欢琅勃拉邦和万象舒适的生活了吧。所以,提醒一下生长在乡间和城市的同学,别盲目跟风,要选对自己的地方,毕竟像咱这类穷人上班族,假期和米米都很有限呐,要珍惜! 3、特别需要提醒携带的东东: 耳塞防high噪音、水上活动时的防水袋、飞机和夜行大巴上披的外套、色彩艳丽轻便的晴雨伞、高指数防晒霜、太阳镜、蚊不叮or驱虫软膏。 (如果陆路过境的话,很可能刚进咱边警的出境楼,就被直接捉到2楼交40大元办黄本本--健康证了,不过换回来的3颗防疟疾药片和一小支军医院出品的长效驱虫膏,俺们都用了,尤其那个驱蚊膏,比较了带去的其他向日葵视频色版下载,那效果,还真不是一般的好啊,真意外!所以,还是要相信老军医喔,哈哈) 其他可选的还有:mm的防晒薄长袖衣、骑行郊游用的防晒大沿儿帽、泳衣外的纱笼、以及无烟盘香、带USB口的插座、湿纸巾...... 建议携带药物:抗过敏药、奎宁防疟疾、藿香正气水、黄连素、维生素等...... 4、换汇经验: 磨憨口岸的人民币换汇最高,向日葵色板官方9.25过关时换到的是“ 1人民币 CNY = 1201老挝基普 LAK ”,跟出行前查的汇率相差很小。后来在老挝一路上的Exchange窗口看了,人民币换汇一路下跌啊,最高也就只有1180了,倒是感觉用美金换的汇率好,一般都稳定在8.1~8.0x左右(1 美元USD = 8100老挝基普 LAK),跟国际汇率相差不大。 注意一下,在磨憨口岸出关前(就是大巴停在关口一下车)就要换好钱,其实大巴前面停在磨憨车站时,就有不少当地妇女手里拿大沓的老挝基普围kip上来要换汇了(一般她们的喊价很难再还价的,即使你们有好几个人一起换大额)。因为你下了大巴不换钱,一旦进入中国这边的出境办公楼,给边警看了护照盖了出境章就得从另一面大门出去,这一脚跨出境,出了门就不让停留了,更别说换钱了,哪怕你跟换钱的妇女只隔一栏杆。 另外,兑换老币kip时一定不要怕麻烦,千万记住要当面清点清楚,否则可能发生缺张的情况,以及币值给错的“意外”情况,在老挝境内使用老币时也得一样小心!经验是注意下区分大面额5W和2W,都是粉红色的,还有老币常用的最小面值一千的纸币上,那个老挝数字1长得很像阿拉伯数字9喔,别慌慌张张的搞晕了!(呵呵,事实上也不可能存在有九千票面的钱币哒)。其实老币也有500面值和100面值的小纸币,有时候你换汇或在超市购物找零,常常被莫名地去零头,可别轻易地算了,记得老币也有小面值的喔,拿来留作纪念也蛮好滴。 老挝币只有纸币没有硬币的,简称kip,老挝币里头“零”太多,一般就以W为单位去计算老币就好了。跟人民币的快速等值换算,就是乘以8再去掉后面4个“零”,差不多就是人民币的当值咯,比如,老挝人比划价钱说1Wkip(一般会说英语ten,就是“十千”kip),其实相当于人民币8块钱左右。 5、便利的长途大巴联票: 很高兴地是,发现现在老挝境内的旅游地,诸如万荣~万象~巴色~四千诸岛,都可以买到联票了,这跟在越南走open tour公司车票、以及在尼泊尔代理车票都是类似的,很方便,票价呢也并非贵多少!尤其是去四千岛的3个岛(东阔岛、东德岛、东昆岛),原本看前辈的游记中提起,都得靠自己一程程链接砍价找车,麻烦又费时还要担心衔接问,但现在都可以订到车船联票咯,呵呵,也就是说,你买了他们的联票,就不怕赶不上每一个环节的大巴咯,真是省心呀。 另外,也有发完境外泰国、越南、柬埔寨各地的联票,大大地方便了串游东南亚的XDJM们。 6、城镇内交通: 太远不能走路过去时,就靠tuktuk(或者jump)了,实质是三轮摩托的改装小车,前者小点。 坐tutu车前一定要先讲好价、手写出来示意,因为老挝币的“零”太多了,尤其是在万象“大”城市,还很可能被故意混淆teen和ty的发音,1.8W和8W差的可不是一点儿,会被骗惨!另,旺季一定特别要跟车主谈好,包车中途是否准许再上人,不然相信会被挤扁。 现在tutu一般起价都叫1W/人,即使在这样的淡季,有时还会蒙5W/2人的。在车站内和游客聚居区要还下来价格较难,所以一般就自己背包走出车站外面,或走一段远离游客区,再拦车砍价更好。 小经验:只要是在琅勃拉邦城内转悠,当地人乘的tutu价格是0.5Wkip;在万象,别相信那些景点tutu车主拿出的价格表,那高得真是太昧良心了! 7、通讯用老挝手机卡: 强烈建议穷游一族在到达当日就买好老挝SIM卡!老挝的手机卡很好买,小店里都有。向日葵色板官方买的M phones卡,2Wkip,里面还含差不多20~30分钟的老挝境内通话时间(没仔细记录,粗估的)。 老挝有2大通讯公司,一个是ETL,另外一个是LAO TEL。使用老挝的电话卡,单向收费,接听全免费,包括接听国际长途哦。建议买LAO TEL的M PHONE 电话卡,老挝境内差不多700kip一分钟,打回中国的话自动转成IP(就是直接0086-地区号-你要拨打的号码就可以了),2000kip左右一分钟。而ETL比较麻烦,打长话必须要加188,就变成了IP,如果不加188,那个费用吓死你! 附,中国通移动开通国际漫游的老挝资费准:(1).拨打当地电话4.99/分钟,拨中国国内电话0086+号码12.99/分钟,接听电话5.99/分钟。可以选择中国移动推出的**139优惠业务拨打国内电话,费用与接听相同5.99/分,每分钟可节省7 元。使用方法:拨国内手机拨**139*86 手机号#,固话拨**139*86区号用户号#,成功呼出后手机上会显示“Ok.Please wait”字样,此时可挂机等待约半分钟,移动会为您接通电话回拨过来。若被叫未接听电话则无需支付费用。(2).发国内用户短信1.99/条,接收短信免费。 8、生活: 老挝是220V电压与国内相同,大部分GH里的插头都是2孔的。 一般Guset House的开价,用空调的普遍比只用吊扇的贵2Wkip。特别指出一点,中文版的《LP老挝》一书版本较早,其中GH指导价格早已过时,甚至有些推荐的食店也早就关张找不到了(这点在琅勃拉邦特别突出)。 饮水,大的GH里有大净水桶,可以灌装。一般就自己在小店买6软瓶一组的瓶装饮用水,最高买过0.8W一组在四千岛,最低是0.5W一组在万象。好像洋鬼子都很喜欢买这种软瓶装,他们鬼着呢,估计这样买水最合算。 老挝小超市很多,日用品一应俱全,很方便。比如小小90ml的飘柔洗发水也就合人民币四五块钱,比越南还便宜点儿呢。街头Massage的小店很多,相对上海的美体店那是便宜得很,不过老挝的style用力太温柔,不够爽,用的精油也不够好。 9、小吃吃经验: 这个季节水果就买那种小米芭蕉吧,因为都是自然熟的,甜而糯很美味,比大香蕉还好吃。一扇小米芭蕉的当地价是0.5kip,记住喔!街上有水果小推车,有剥好的柚子卖,0.5Wkip一个挺甘甜的,也有认不得的绿色佛手果,没尝。街上小零食推车有卖煮玉米、煮盐水花生、煮小红薯的,还有烤小米芭蕉的小摊子,3只0.1Wkip,烤过之后的味道就像烘山芋,真神奇!在琅勃拉邦街头,常见一种现场烤制的小椰汁糕,并不甜腻而是香糯,是很美味的甜品喔! 法棍还不错很便宜,街头本地人小摊0.1Wkip一小根,还有许多法棍夹菜吃法的小推车,跟越南街头的很相似,有的鬼佬就在街头买这种法棍夹菜三明治来吃,呵呵,便宜又饱肚。 老挝的汤粉不如越南的好吃,可能有个人口感的缘故吧。总觉得老挝本地人吃的偏咸,花式粥啊米粉啊都不敢多喝,甚至老挝油条里也都会放点儿调味料。 老挝的咖啡质量挺不错的,咖啡浓度比国内高,只是从未溶入本地人生活,这跟越南很不同。不过一般针对游客的餐店都会有lao咖啡卖,强烈建议品尝!个人体验是,老挝咖啡更偏重咖啡清香,而越南咖啡则添加更多奶油香。 10、食品手信: 建议作为老挝手信之一,去超市购买些LAO咖啡带回来,会受欢迎滴。LAO咖啡大品牌是DAO-HEUANG GROUP的DAO COFFEE(还有另一个本地品牌,貌似没有DAO做的大),除了超市有卖,它还有专卖店,三合一的大致有3种不同的口味,600g30支向日葵色板官方买的是2.7Wkip。还有咖啡粉、咖啡豆,按品质分价格不同。 老挝产的一种本地酸角软糖,淡淡的酸甜味,挺不错,不管是自己吃还是送人都很好,只是包装简单了些,向日葵色板官方买的是一小包大约20几粒1.3Wkip。 11、学几个有用的老挝语: 1-能、2-耸、3-伞姆、4-西、5-哈、6-货格、7-结特、8-白特、9-告、10-西普、千-潘; 中国-巴太金、谢谢-hope jai(Khawp jai)、再见-拉滚(但实际听到的发音像“老公”),最重要的一个必学词是老挝打招呼问好的sabaidee-萨拜迪。 The other‘s tips: a,老挝时间: (和越南泰国时间一样),都比中国北京时间晚一个小时,如中国的10:00am是老挝的9:00am。 b,重量单位: 注意下,老挝的水果、蔬菜、肉类、糖等,都是轮公斤出售,价全是xxxkip一公斤。 c,信用卡,取现: 基本无用,或者用也要加3%+手续费,ATM机是有的,有VISA的借记卡提现在这些地方还是方便。 d,购物支付货币: 买东西看价的货币吧。价是美元,最好用美元支付,价是kip,就用kip支付。要不然给你折算一次,会贵一些的。老挝本地老币、美金、泰铢都可以流通使用,人民币之前也开始流通了,就是因为假币问又不行了。 e,衣着、习俗: 老挝人不接受暴露太多的装束。忌讳用左手传递东西或食物、忌讳别人触摸他们的头。 f,寺庙参观: 老挝的寺庙一般下午四点多就关门,中午休息,要去要赶早。 另外Lao Guidebook 2010上说最好是早上拜访寺庙,清晨过来拍照,可以掌握最好的光线效果。 老挝的寺院,不管大小,进入都要脱鞋子和帽子,短裤不能太短,露背露肩的衣服不能穿。 g,食: 老挝以糯米饭为主,叫做 kao niao(发音),普通老挝人吃饭很简单的,少油盐,就1个凉拌菜,用手捏一小团糯米饭配着吃。 要试试老挝的damahong,就是凉拌木瓜,老挝的木瓜不像国内的都熟透了,这里都是生的,脆脆的,和着辣椒、鱼露还有西红柿什么的,拌在一块儿吃,是地道的老挝菜。 老挝的bin ba就是烤鱼也很不错,一定要试,不过有点小贵。注意老挝不临海,一般就是淡水鱼。 不要忘了吃吃老挝的kao biao,一种类似中国粉的东西,一般5000kip一碗,糯米做的,很管饱,而且味道很不错。 老挝有一种酸奶,味道很不错,上面原味的不含糖酸奶,地下室一层果酱,吃起来很有感觉。 来老挝千万不要忘了买瓶Beer Lao来喝:地道唯一的老挝啤酒,在老挝的市场占有率极高,是老挝人的自豪。Beer Lao比国内的啤酒纯多了,酒精度数也要高一些,酒量不好的,千万要注意啊,不要以为只是一瓶啤酒而已。Wine Lao:类似葡萄酒的一种水果口味酒,深受女性喜欢。Lao Lao酒:一种当地自产的米酒威士忌,度数较高,据说后劲很大。 各色水果shake是每餐必点的饮品,绝对的美味。夜市上小摊出售的shake最便宜,卫生条件也不错,5000KIP/杯,其他地方在6000-26000之间不等。Mix fruit shake、Papaya+Pineapple、Strewberry等口味都不错。 老挝咖啡享誉盛名,在炎热的午后来一杯浓郁的冰黑咖啡也不失为一种享受,7000-12000KIP/杯。 h,老挝特色小吃: 香蕉奶油口味的PANCAKE、小铝碗里烤的椰汁小饼、蒸红薯、法棍面包、放在小竹筒里面蒸熟的黏米饭、加入很多种类当地香料的清蒸河鱼、搭配鱼露汁的油炸时蔬饼…… i,市场还价: 摸索到一些报价规律,供大家参考 夜市里的小物件、特色商品、报价的7折是一般他提供的最低成交价,但5折大都可以成交,有人是来给自己小店采购的,因相对量较大,比如某种纸灯笼买20-30个,观察到3-3.5折是底价附近了!老挝背景资料: 老挝慢生活: 在中南半岛,有一句很有名的谚语:“越南人种田;柬埔寨人看着稻米成长;而老挝人连看都懒得看,只竖起耳朵,听着青翠的秧苗拔高成穗”(Vietnamese plant the rice;Cambodians watch it to grow;Laos listen it to grow.)。慢生活体现在老挝人身上,即是:Bo Pegniang (Please don’t rush 请不要着急),慢吞吞、闲散、安静、而且安宁,大多数人脸上都挂着和善的微笑,见到你会轻轻低低地问候一声“撒拜迪”。 宗教深入生活: 老挝全民信奉小乘佛教,有人聚居的地方就有寺庙,在城市里几乎走不了几步就会出现一处寺庙。老挝男性上至高官、下至平民百姓,一生之中都必须至少出家当一次和尚,每次一般3个月,少则3-5天,也有终身为僧不还俗的。寺庙对人们而言,是教育之所,是沿袭老挝文化之地。 小乘佛教徒主要守持五戒,但不持素,只忌食“十肉”(即:人、象、虎、豹、狮、马、狗、蛇、猫、龟),日进二斋,过午不食。(注意,异性不得与僧侣有身体上的触碰。) 附,大乘与小乘的区别——“乘” 为车辆的意思。大乘即大车辆,大牛车,普渡众生自度度他;小乘即小车辆,鹿车羊车,只能自度。教义上区别:小乘主张“我空法有” ;大乘主张 “我法皆空” 。实践方面的区别:小乘主张修持阿罗汉果,求得自我解脱,独善其身;大乘主张行菩萨道兼善天下,普度众生,最终成佛。目不同,修行内容方法也异:小乘修三学(戒、定、慧)八正道;大乘则兼修六波罗蜜(六度),即布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧。 湄公河: 流经老挝全境,老挝语Menam Khon,柬埔寨语作MeKong(意“母亲”),越语作Song Tien Giang,中国境内称澜沧江(Lancang Jiang或Lan-ts'ang Chiang)。湄公河是东南亚的母亲河,总长约4,880公里(3,033哩),流域总面积:81.1万平方公里,是世界第六大河,亚洲第三长河,东南亚第一大河。发源于中国青海省,流经西藏自治区与云南省,此后成为缅甸与老挝之间,以及老挝与泰国之间的部分国际边界,还流经老挝、柬埔寨与越南,然后在胡志明市(西贡)南面注入南海。老挝首都万象与柬埔寨首都金边均在岸边。湄公河约3/4的流域面积在其下游流经的5国--缅甸、老挝、泰国、柬埔寨与越南。最后写一段外话收尾。 老挝旅游业发展很快,接触旅游的当地人,大都会用多种语言跟你搭讪。打招呼的词,英语、法语、日语、韩语、中国普通话...他们都会,连万象的外语培训公司里,中文也是频繁开班的语种之一。 不过肯定是来自中国的背包客太少了,向日葵色板官方被直接招呼“O ha yo”的比例高达95%,虽然被认成了日本人郁闷,但好过那剩余5%被认成棒子,哈哈!然后当向日葵色板官方大声纠正“Chinese”的时候,100%会被反问是否来自HongKong,看来“香港是中国的”这个命已深入世界咯,吼吼。不过,向日葵色板官方还是会继续纠正“from ShangHai”喔,也有不少老挝人知道上海的,还不错!而且老挝人大多对中国人很好奇,搞旅游的那些人总是想从向日葵色板官方这里多学几个中文词呢。 其实,在老挝做生意的湖南老乡浙江老乡遍布各处,他们常年生活在老挝,其中开中餐馆倒是不多,大部分开店做商品生意。到了老挝国都万象,虽然紧挨着泰国,小超市的食品大部分也是泰国货,但却几乎就变成中国人的天下了,向日葵色板官方看到大的就有水利公司、道桥公司、建筑公司、大宾馆...都竖着巨幅的中文牌识。老挝唯一那条贯通南北的13号公路,就主要是中国援建的,而13号公路从与中国接壤的磨丁开始,直达泰国廊开的这一段,属于“昆曼公路”的老挝段。从另一个高度来看,老挝对中国的战略意义可是很大啊。 老挝的四邻顺时针分别是泰国、中国(云南)、越南和柬埔寨,前两个经济好的国家对它都有深刻影响。如今老挝旅游业飞速发展,不由得让人对它独特的原生态产生担忧,......唉,看看中国内地恶劣扰人的旅游业现状就够了。重要补充: 1)关于证。 俺习惯把事情提前做好,所以行前就把证的事情搞妥了才出门,建议XDJM们尽量跟俺一样。喜欢随性的人肯定会不屑地会问了:Why?虽说游记上查到的信息,说老挝可以陆路落地的人更多,事实上,那只是一般情况。口岸的政策随时在变,与向日葵色板官方同车的帅哥就遭遇了惨烈的意外!向日葵色板官方过境那段时间说是不给落地了,然后不得不找了换汇的小妹,她们讲可以帮忙通关系,最后的结果是花了一千大洋才过了国门!!要知道,老挝目前证费200元,一般委托代理也不过300元。(老挝证目前只有在北京和昆明可以自己办。) 2)老挝入境卡 到老挝入境的窗口,记得先问他们要入境卡!!自己填好再递进去盖章办手续。切记切记!!不然,他们不会主动递出空白卡来的,你就会被索要20RMB (or 2Wkip)才能被放过喔。 3)公路信息 据穷游网刚回来发帖的mm说,打听到两个月后,昆明~老挝公路的老挝段要开始维修了,老挝人的效率是不清楚几时能完工的,提醒要去的人注意。关键是老挝段都是窄窄的山路,弯弯曲曲的路况真的不好,反正俺睡在车子最前面中间位子的下铺,也非得用脚抵着栏杆,才不至于被时时东摇西摆的大巴甩出床铺,唉,确实很颠!要是修起路来,路况更差、错车更困难,估计从昆明到琅勃拉邦可就远不止24h咯! 4)夜行大巴 因为老挝的车子大部分是棒子那儿来的二手车,所以大巴铺位改装得怪怪的。万象和巴色的来回,俺们都睡了双人的那种上铺(幸好同伴J-J同学也不胖,哈哈),订票时可以提要求的,比如要前面的上铺。下铺一般有拉帘子,不过要是跟陌生人挤一个铺还要拉帘子可真受不了啦......,后来知道,也有单铺大巴卖,价格无异。琅勃拉邦到万象的也是夜行巴士,不晓得是否也有两种大巴呢? 看网上也有人说昆明到琅勃拉邦的大巴,买到的是上下都是双人的那种铺位,不过向日葵色板官方那趟车还是一排2x3个单铺的。单人铺很窄小的呢,连俺都觉得受不来,跟上海到青岛的“恐怖超载”夜行班车一样,呵呵,还是在北疆坐到的卧铺大巴宽敞啊(怀念ing,俺深爱着的北疆,咔咔)。 另,在昆明~琅勃拉邦的夜行大巴上,可能会有小偷装成的客人,要特别小心随身贵重物品!这个小偷往往是半夜到达勐腊之前(临晨4点),开始在走道里匍匐翻包行窃,然后在勐腊下车,事实上,过了勐腊之后,大巴上就剩下五六光人了,包括一个日本独驴。 2010.享受老挝慢时光. 02(预告美图之一)唉,每次旅行回来,一想到要整理4千张海量照片,都是一个头十个大。~~估计哪天就真的欠债不还直接潜逃啦,嘻嘻......^_^不多说牢骚话咯,先上几张自己喜欢的预告美图吧。 Ps.全部原创图片啊,咔咔,D90还没摸熟,PP问多多,请大家批评指正。 琅勃拉邦,Luang Prabang:在琅勃拉邦的花阴下,沉醉。` 大名在外的香通寺,它代表了琅勃拉邦的寺庙风格,与高棉和泰国的寺庙不同,寺顶一直垂至地面。主殿内壁全部是鎏金壁画,主殿后壁外墙上,则镶嵌着一棵令人过目不忘的生命之树!` ` 日落普西山远没有想象中的辉煌美妙,太阳哗啦一下子就掉到山后去咯。事实上,在普西山,还是看人间炊烟、天上晚霞来得棒。 万容,VangVieng:一只沉醉在万荣喀斯特风景里的猫猫。南松河上,飘回来的是正爽得hight的皮划艇&tubing。远处跳水+畅饮+蹦迪中的鬼佬&近处光PP戏水的本地小P孩。著名的LP推荐的看景GH:elephant crossing......不过,个人认为还是在这里次次4.5Wkip/人的较丰盛自助早餐,一边看看美景是最合算的咯。万象,Vientiane:万象的湄公河日落......注意,对岸可是泰国的土地咯。荣登老挝国徽的图案:塔銮。被赋予国家主权象征的鎏金塔,金光灿灿的果然好气势啊!万象并没有大象,只找到这两只石头小象,蹲在法式老房子的外墙上,快乐地甩鼻子嬉戏着。老挝首都最拿得出手的大街景,号称“小香榭丽舍”大道,远处就是老挝的“凯旋门”。呵呵,这个视角看起来,跟模仿的原型还真有些相似啊。2010.享受老挝慢时光. 03(预告美图之二) 特别喜欢四千美岛这个地方,为它拍了许多照片。选片好难,难以取舍,呵呵,只好再开一个新篇来预告它了,希望您不要嫌弃它的PP太多......四千岛 之 东德岛,Dong Det:(湄公河 篇)(四千美岛)(黄昏) ` ` ` (
这其实是向日葵色板官方夫妻俩人第二次去阿拉斯加了。第一次是在 2005 年去阿拉斯加首府朱诺(Juneau)。但是那一次天气不好,几乎全是阴雨天,玩得很不尽兴,后来也觉得朱诺的景点不够美。于是就有了再去一次的计画。这一次是去阿拉斯加最大城市安克拉治(Anchorage)以及一个小城苏沃德(Seward)。这两个城市都在阿拉斯加南方,就是下面地图的AB两个地点。其实去安克拉治只是因为国际班机在那里降落,苏沃德才是重点。整个行程都是我自己规划,不跟团,台湾旅行社只帮向日葵色板官方买机票。 这一次游记的照片共有 519 张,先来点精彩预告吧所有照片单击後可以放大向日葵色板官方在海边步道看见了野生麋鹿向日葵色板官方搭乘火车去苏沃德向日葵色板官方的旅馆在苏沃德的码头边 向日葵色板官方在大熊冰河露营泛舟向日葵色板官方沿着冰河旁的步道一路往上爬,从冰河脚下直到俯视冰河 向日葵色板官方走过了遍地野花的山谷预告到此为止,接下来就是游记了,我会努力更新 八月五日 出发 西雅图这是向日葵色板官方第一次在晚上到台湾桃园机场,灯光很鲜艳。经过十一小时飞行到达西雅图,起飞时的台北时间是八月五日晚上十一点,降落时的西雅图时间是同日晚上七点。因为经过国际换日线,时间反而倒退。向日葵色板官方预订的班机是明天早上六点飞往安克拉治,今晚要在西雅图过夜。这是向日葵色板官方预订的旅馆 Seattle Airport Marriott 的大厅。旅馆大厅的酒吧从半夜开始坐了十一小时的经济舱,难免精神萎靡,有个温暖的小窝真好。 八月六日 西雅图 安克拉治 麋鹿步道今天早起退房之后还有点时间,就去逛逛旅馆对面的一家 7-11,看看美国版和台湾版有何不同。7-11 门口有一台 DVD 和游戏光碟的自动出租机,台湾似乎还没有这样的机器。7-11 门口 一小筒哈根达斯在美国的 7-11 只卖 4.69 美金,大约 30 人民币。Walmart 的售价还要少一美金,若是遇上卖场特价活动还会更便宜。在台湾已经被炒作成两倍以上的价钱了。这里的可乐汽水都是两公升的大瓶装美国人的肚量显然远大于台湾人各种不健康加工零食,全是特大包装。五颜六色的不健康饮料,充满各式人工添加物,全美医师和医药公会强力推荐。今天早餐是在 7-11买的 snickers。不得不承认,我偶尔也会想吃不健康零食。在飞机上,坐在向日葵色板官方旁边的是一位美国大兵,他刚从阿富汗回来,今天是休假返乡了。西雅图机场又老又旧,安克拉治机场却是崭新的建筑,感觉很漂亮。 我们在安克拉治预订的是 Anchorage Grand Hotel,这是我们的房间。这与其说是房间,不如说是一户小公寓,空间宽敞,各种家居设施一应俱全,真是物超所值,向日葵色板官方都很喜欢。具体而微的小客厅此旅馆位于市区边缘,窗外那一堆白帐篷就是向日葵色板官方等一下要去的周末市集。从另一个角度往外看这厨房虽然小,但是有冰箱、瓦斯炉、烤箱、微波炉、洗碗机、刀叉餐具和全套橱柜,该有的都有了。床旁边有小书桌和小茶几从另一个角度看客厅([]
乌孙是公元前二世纪崛起于新疆伊犁河流域的西域古国,鼎盛时期人口达到63万,一度成为西域三十六国最强大的国家,在伊利草原留下了悠久的璀璨历史。东汉末年,乌孙内乱国势羸弱,在鲜卑的攻击下退入葱岭散居,至今天山深处还残留着乌孙古城遗迹。 乌孙向南越过天山沿塔里木河东行直至长安,是乌孙与汉朝使团、商队往来的通道。乌孙(包扎墩)古道与夏特古道相距近200公里,均是连接天山南北的通道,被统称为乌孙古道。 60多年前,一支军队成功连穿了两条古道,1946年,已经控制伊宁地区的三区民族军制订了南北中三线作战计划,南线作战部队于1946年6月从伊犁州特克斯县琼库什台村出发,翻过包扎墩达坂,穿过130公里长的乌孙古道越过天山进击南疆,攻占了拜城和温宿县,在攻打南疆重镇阿克苏失利后,又于10月突破国民党军队在夏特古道的阻击撤回北疆。 我们计划重走60年前的这条行军路线,先从北到南穿越乌孙古道,再从南到北反穿夏特古道回到北疆。 这是一场没能最终完成的旅行,当旅行戛然而止的那一刻心中满是沮丧。无奈和惆怅渐渐淡去,伴随着记忆的回放,那些不断泛起的点点滴滴却总是试图提醒我,这已经是一场完美旅行。 利空出尽是利好 研究路线做好攻略,接下来就是招兵买马,每年的寻伴总是个难,今年也不例外。原计划组建六人队伍,可是折腾了几个月,临到出发前一个月才勉强凑够四个人。 以前每一次旅行都没有超过两人,所以四人的庞大队伍已经让我很是满意,不过,即使是这样低水平的满意也没能持续多久,出发前第9天,一个队员因事要求退出。通常情况少一个人也不打紧,在人数问上我早就习惯了随遇而安,但走这条有些风险的线路,少一个负责技术和安全的核心队员,简直就是釜底抽薪。剩下两位同伴让我心里直打鼓,一个是价真货实的路痴型傻走驴简单,另一个是对线路毫不关心的摄影迷老米(米老鼠)。 简单一门心思痴迷于走路,但从不去关心怎么走,她说看到攻略和地图上的花花碌碌就头晕的厉害,我也就没强逼鸭子上架。 老米忙着研究负重拍片功略也不会去关心徒步攻略,老米这是第二次徒步,第一次负重,为了凑够人数,在我软硬兼施的动员下好不容易才把他给拉入队伍,他原本不是路痴,处于对二十年老友的盲目信任让他自甘堕落成了路痴。 虽然都是两眼一抹黑,路痴甲和路痴乙却具有强烈的革命乐观主义精神,他俩意见高度统一,“队长,怕啥呢,走不通回头是岸。”很干脆的把一大堆烦恼丢给了我。 去年穿越乌孙古道的小蜜蜂特意叮嘱我,三个人过科克苏河上的溜索基本不可能,那些溜索绑在离地近三米高的树干上,人手太少很难把人托举起挂上溜索,除非你能像猴子一样爬树。在那些纠结的日子里,不止一次梦到自己出现了严重的返祖现象。 纠结的日子里利空消息传来,科克苏河上的溜索已经被洪水冲断,线路受阻,于是紧急研究备用路线方案——绕道溜索上游木桥多走两天多翻三个达坂完成穿越。 备用方案还没捂热,更大的利空接踵而至,而且是坏事成双——溜索上游所有的木桥都被洪水冲毁,必经之路科克苏河已经无法逾越+夏特大冰壁断裂,线路有大变动。 这些不能回避又没法证实的坏消息让人头疼,我试图把这些重大利空与甲乙同志分享,两同志沉浸在徒步装备购置和摄影器材添置带来的网购快乐中,显然无暇它顾,不过他们的意见仍然很统一,“队长,别怕,走不通回头另找一条路走就是。”似乎天山里通向南疆的坦途多如牛毛。 我只能心怀侥幸的安慰自己——兴许,利空出尽就该是利好了吧。 反复研究路上可能会遇到的困难,保护措施也独个儿演练了好几次(甲乙同志都很忙,没空参与),心里还是忐忑不安,骨灰级路痴已经指望不上,只能叮嘱自称地理高考98分(20年前还是100分制)的老米认真研究攻略,我想,路上有个人商量总是能壮壮胆。 第二天,老米兴奋的告诉我,“攻略看完了,搞半天才弄明白我们队伍是先走乌孙再走夏特呀!”说完顺便问了一句:“背几个镜头合适些?三脚架带哪种?”直接打消了我拉人壮胆的幻想。 出发前了解到今年还有几支队伍进乌孙,一交流才发现很不对劲,几乎每支队伍都是经过多次拉练层层筛选淘汰才组建起来,对这些队伍来讲,走过墨脱就自称强驴的人连参加拉练的资格都没有,选拔队员的准最低也是特种兵级别。 回头再看向日葵色板官方生拉活拽勉强凑成的队伍,怎么看怎么像草台班子,不过心里还是暗自庆幸,幸亏向日葵色板官方是今年第一支溜进山的穿越队伍,否则在路上遇到特种兵,民兵们多半都不好意思招呼。老米老友第二次徒步第一次负重 八卦城 9月19日清晨8点35分,从乌鲁木齐出发的5815次列车驶进伊宁市火车站,提前联系好的王师傅(王正林13519993637)已经等在火车站门口,坐上车就直奔徒步起点——特克斯县琼库什台村。 特克斯是乌孙古国夏都所在地,现在的特克斯县城始建于1938年,因完全依据后天八卦图建成而得名八卦城。 据特克斯县志记载,南宋嘉定三年,道教全真七子之一的丘处机应成吉思汗的邀请前往西域,在游历天山的途中,发现了特克斯这块“风水龙脉”,丘处机用后天八卦图确定了坎北、离南、震东、兑西的八卦方位,这就是特克斯八卦城雏型的最早传说。 1936年,新疆军阀盛世才的岳父宗秋浚调任伊犁屯垦使兼警备司令,精通易理的宗秋浚也发现了特克斯这块风水宝地,他亲自设计了八卦城图,1938年,特克斯县县长班吉春开始主持修建八卦城。 八卦城堪称《周易》八卦学说与城市规划实践完美结合的经典之作,八卦城以城中心花园为太极“阴阳”两仪,按八卦方位向外辐射八条主街,每条主街长1200米,每隔360米一条环路,一环8条街,二环16条街,三环32条街,四环64条街。这些街道按八卦方位形成了64卦,整个八卦城栩栩如生的演绎了《周易》学说的深奥内涵,简直是建筑史上的奇迹。进山前在特克斯县最后一次进餐,所以这碗大号牛肉面端上来后,我又另添了一份牛肉和一份面条 路痴甲培训路痴乙 从特克斯县出来很快进山,拐进河谷,眼前的水电工地干得热火朝天,面对挖得乱七八糟的道路,王师傅有些傻眼,他说去年来的时候这里的河谷静悄悄。 一辆水泥搅拌车突突的开过来,开车师傅竟然是王师傅的熟人,一阵寒暄后,在他的指点下东绕西绕终于绕上进山的碎石路。 百无聊赖中,简单竟然破天荒的关心起线路来,听到简单漫不经心的随口一问,老米立马来了精神,临时抱佛脚掏出功略开始认真讲解起来。忙着现炒现卖着意卖弄的老米,显然没注意到简单已经听的昏昏欲睡,忍不住嘀咕了一句,“路痴甲培训路痴乙。” 老米讪笑着住了口。 琼库什台村 翻过山口,蕴积已久的乌云终于垮下脸,雨开始下个不停,山谷里浓雾弥漫,能见度极低,王师傅紧握着方向盘,汽车缓慢滑行在泥泞的下山道上,雨雾中向日葵色板官方抵达了徒步起点——琼库什台牧业村。 下车后,开始重新打包收拾,一群哈萨克牧民迅速聚集过来,围着向日葵色板官方指指点点议论个不停,出发前拍合影时,看稀奇的牧民们呼啦一下涌进镜头,毫不客气的把几个穿越主角给生生挤到角落里去。 下午三点半,向日葵色板官方在淅淅沥沥的雨中出发。出发前的合影,牧民成了主角,中间这位大汉颇有点舍我其谁的气势 甲可思摸 雨雾在山谷里快速涌动,山林溪流忽隐忽现,向日葵色板官方沿着湿滑泥泞的马道往山谷深处走去,出发后老米显得很兴奋,拿着相机拍得很起劲,泥泞马道上左右穿插频频按动快门,尽管镜头上已是水珠点点,还是时不时的来个雨中静物特写,队伍走走停停简直就像是幼儿园的春游。 琼库什台村是哈萨克族牧民聚居点,不时有骑马牧民赶着牛羊回村,入秋后天气渐冷,天山深处的达坂已经积雪,牧民开始从深山牧场往村子里撤,牛背马背上驮着大捆大捆的家当。 沿途牧民总是向向日葵色板官方投来好奇的目光,路上临时抱佛脚学了一句哈萨克语的“你好”——甲可思摸,这下终于能派上用场,于是见人就是“甲可思摸”,把迎面而来的牧民挨个“摸”了一遍,尽管“摸”得很认真,老米有时还帮着“摸”,有些牧民甚至连“摸”了好几遍,向日葵色板官方殷勤的劳动却没有收获热情的果实。 大多数牧民骑在高头大马上傲然斜睨,神色冷然,骑马的看不起走路的我能理解,自古以来,骑兵瞧不起步兵本就是一种光荣传统。所以,偶尔有骑兵点点头就会引来向日葵色板官方使劲的“摸”,偶尔有骑兵赏脸回“摸”步兵一下,这一“摸”总是让我很激动。驮着全副家当回村的牧民,这头牛长的有些喜剧,像是戴着白色面具 再来一次? 进山的道路沿着溪流左岸缓慢爬升,穿出树林,雨水更加稠密,茫茫白雾笼罩着山野,哗哗的流水声回荡在山谷。 云雾中行走,向日葵色板官方对风景的期待已经降到最低准,偶尔浓雾倏忽散开,那仿若施舍般显露出来的茵茵草地和山谷木屋,总是引得我和老米手忙脚乱,很没出息的抢着掏相机。 斜坡上马道泥泞湿滑,泥浆被牲口践踏得一团糟,所谓马道,现在看起来就是马走起来很爽,人走起来很不爽的道路。不愿在泥浆里深一脚浅一脚的踩,改走上斜坡草地,不料绿茵草地积满水更加湿滑,暗藏杀机。 没走出多远,支撑脚一滑,身体陡然歪斜,肩上压着70斤的重量,担心受伤不敢硬拧,把相机紧搂在怀里,侧身重重的倒在泥水里,慢慢的爬起身,已成了个泥人。 老米和简单呆呆的看我表演,连忙转头问老米:“拍照了没有?”两人连连摇头,看到我遗憾的表情,老米说,“或者,你再来一次?”斜坡草地,看上去很美,狼狈不堪的从地上爬起来,满脸是泥 邀请来得太早 爬上山坡,道旁木屋里走出一个年轻女子,在雨中径直向向日葵色板官方走来,用生硬的汉语招呼着:“休息不?吃饭不?”反复问了几遍又用手做出扒饭的动作。 走在山谷里,沿途擦身而过的牧民都显得很冷淡,突然走出个年轻女子这么热情的邀请,巨大的反差让我有点受宠若惊。 通常在旅行途中,别说这样热情的邀请没法拒绝,即使是蹭吃蹭喝的机会偶尔乍现,都会让我忙不迭的扑上去。 回头看看老米和简单,他们对年轻女人的热情邀请显得无动于衷,的确,年轻女人的邀请来得太早了些,即使在冰冷的雨水中走路很不爽,可是才走一个多小时就让他们停下来吃喝享乐,老米可能无所谓,简单多半打死也不从。 悻悻婉拒了女人的热情邀请,继续向雨雾弥漫的山谷深处走去,走出很远,还心欠欠的频频回头张望。 路痴定律 雨水无休止的倾泻,内衣已经湿透,气温降得很低,就在卸包吃馕那一小会儿功夫,双手很快就冻僵,连馕饼都拿捏不住。 走到近7点半,道旁又是一座空置的木屋,新疆的天空到9点钟才全黑,拿不准天黑前还能不能遇到木屋,这样的坏天气在泥泞的草地上扎营简直就是一场悲剧。 在木屋里扎营,老米没意见,简单却很不乐意。 简单已经冲到前面很远,被叫回来时满脸的不情愿,她说刚开始兴奋起来,状态正好走的正带劲就叫停当然很不爽。不情不愿的卸下包,简单还舍不得进屋,带着没走满意的无奈表情,独个儿在雨中转悠了几圈又主动提出去河边提水。 简单高高兴兴提着水桶去河边继续过瘾,我和老米燃起篝火,身上的衣服都快烤干,简单还没回来,心中有些惴惴不安,正准备出门找人,简单带着满身水汽闯进来,满脸惊惶地说:“糟糕,迷路了,差点我就回不来了!” 到100米远的地方打水也会迷路?我和老米面面相觑,都有点回不过神来。 细问才弄明白,简单来到坡下的小溪,装满水桶掉头就走,走到一个断崖边才发觉走错了路,既然已经走晕了头,路痴驴肯定弄不明白自己走到了哪里,也弄不明白自己是怎么走到这里来的。呼喊了几声没有回应,简单这下慌了神,提着水桶东奔西跑,却总也走不出山沟,后来糊里糊涂从某个地方钻出来,看到木屋才好不容易摸回来。 “打水后你怎么就没按原路返回呢?”老米觉得不可思议。 “转过身就糊涂了,以为走的就是原路哒,每次都这样,只要我认为方向是正确的,那一定已经弄错了。”简单一脸的无辜,显得很委屈。 老米是第一次领教简单的路痴绝活,很有些后怕,“早知道这样,应该把救生哨给你带在身上,迷路了就吹哨。” “哨子解决不了问,以后简单去打水得给她配个向导。”路痴驴的路痴本色我曾经深刻领教过,已经是有点见惯不惊,不过看到老米对简单的路痴本质认识还不够深刻,忍不住开口提醒他。 经过了这茬,对路痴驴的保护开始形成制度,行进队型严格固定——我开路,老米收队,简单夹在中间。同时明确了三条纪律——绝对不允许简单冲到队伍前面或在队伍后面逗留;行进途中,必须确保简单始终处于我和老米至少一人的视线以内;绝对禁止简单同学的营地活动超过视线范围(嘘嘘除外)。 这才刚出发,简单就给向日葵色板官方来了个下马威,路痴定律随之出炉——只要简单认为是正确的,那一定已经错了。 英俊少年 清晨,雨过天晴,浓雾依然弥漫山谷。 收拾出发已经10点钟,一个哈萨克少年骑马追上向日葵色板官方,超越后却并不远去,就呆在前面三五米的地方慢慢催马前行,英俊少年显得对我们很感兴趣,坐在马背上回转身,眼神直勾勾紧盯着向日葵色板官方。 “甲可思摸。”连摸几遍没有反应,英俊少年马背上回身的姿势仿佛凝固一般,依然是直勾勾的盯着,始终保持在向日葵色板官方前面一点走着,颇有点带路的意味。 其实,沿途的哈萨克牧民虽然冷漠,却总会不由自主流露出对旅游者的浓厚兴趣,虽然长居深山不善交流,脸上总是一副冷漠表情,但身体语言却暴露了他们的内心想法。 通常牧民远远看到向日葵色板官方多半会早早的挺直胸膛,在马背上坐的笔直,经过身边时突然催马加速,快速跑出一段再潇洒的勒马回头张望。 这个英俊少年也不例外,尽管骑在马上就像一尊雕塑,但看得出雕塑对向日葵色板官方的兴趣是相当的浓厚。 死的比活的管用 马道从山坡上切到山谷溪流边,一座木桥横跨溪流,另一条路沿溪流左岸通向山谷深处,“包扎墩,这里?”我指着木桥试探地问少年,少年很快做出回应,使劲的摇着头,再问了一遍,少年还是摇头,还抬手指了指左边的山道。 其实攻略上写的很清楚,过桥是正道,不过,攻略是死的,人是活的。 相信人还是相信攻略,这是个问! 后来回想起来,提出这个问,就已经是脑子被驴踢了的表现。 心里拿不准,指着木桥又问了一遍,少年坚决的摇摇头,催马走上左边山道停下来等我。 少年很执着的等在前面,犹豫了半天跟上少年,爬上草坡,少年脸上绽开了笑容,竟然哼起曲子来,拍着马鞍冲我招招手,示意让我上马。 我回头示意简单,简单很不屑的摇摇头,这下少年兴趣马上发生转移,掉转马头紧随简单身旁行走,眼睛直勾勾的盯着简单,曲子哼的更起劲了。 翻过山坳,浓雾中传出犬吠声声,木屋前几只牧羊犬作势扑咬,一个汉子应声出门喝止。看到向日葵色板官方,汉子显得很激动,手舞足蹈抛出一长串话来,他越激动我心里越拧巴,因为他的汉话太拧巴。 果然,向日葵色板官方走错了路,虽然人是活的攻略是死的,不过这次死的显然比活的更管用。 好不容易逮着个能开口说话的牧人,连忙拉住他询问科克苏河上的溜索。 “不在,没有了。”汉子连连摇头。 “桥?木桥?在不在?” “不在,冲走了!” 汉子的回答让我心里一沉,老米和简单心态很好,“到了河边再说吧。” 汉子叫来一个老汉,指着树林方向,让他带向日葵色板官方抄近路插过去。 光线的诱惑 随着老汉跨过独木桥,翻过山坡,走出树林,眼前豁然开朗,宽阔的斜坡草地一直延向浓雾弥漫的山谷。 告别老汉,顺草坡而下,遮蔽山谷的浓雾仿佛被一只无形的手牵引,大幕般缓缓向上提起,山谷里的草甸、木屋、牛羊从大幕下一点一点显露出来,阳光星星点点洒落草场,沉睡的大地开始苏醒,盎然生机在起伏的山峦间涌动。 由衷的喜悦在心里流淌,我踏露而行,缓步走进慢慢显露的梦幻世界。晨雾的帷幕慢慢拉开,云雾渐渐散去时的光线那么迷人,我和老米像中了魔似地,频频举起相机按下快门。 帷幕吊胃口般走几步就拉开一点点,云雾一点一点的拉开,阳光一点一点的洒落,大脑已经停止了运转被视觉支配着,恍恍惚惚走上几步,就举起相机按下快门,三步一停,五步一顿,一点一点被诱惑着迈动脚步。 这段路程的记忆很模糊,或者当时脑子里本就已经是模糊不清,简直就是一段魔幻的演绎,恍惚中已经不是在行走,似乎化作了一股快乐的溪流,从山坡上缓缓淌进雨后初晴的山谷牧场,就像一个蹩脚的后期剪辑作品,上一个镜头里我还在山坡上面对着茫茫白雾,下一个镜头切过来已经站在仙境般的谷地四处张望。 雾气渐散,阳光一缕一缕穿透云雾,仿佛带着重量般冲坠到山谷草地,草尖上密集的露珠在阳光映射下精灵般熠熠生辉,仙境一样的通透色彩在山谷里流动,清鲜的青草芳香,湿润的泥土气息,伴随着袅袅缥缈的薄雾在草地上飘荡,沁人心脾。 都是迷路惹的祸 几道栅栏挡在面前,牧场上忙碌的妇人走过来指点向日葵色板官方从栅栏低矮处翻进去,刚落地,她的老公从木屋后转出来,热情邀请向日葵色板官方进屋喝茶。扔下背包径直往屋里去,我不敢客气,怕一客气就把机会给客气掉了。 汉子叫卡德拉洪,他一眼瞥见我手里的相机,伸手就把老婆拉到面前,问我:“照相?” 俗话说吃人的嘴软,这样的问话通常也就只是走个过场而已。 卡德拉洪拉着老婆转来转去摆POSE,拍了逆光拍顺光、拍了牧场背景换木屋背景再换牛羊背景,拍完老婆接着拍夫妻照,也是顺光逆光牧场木屋牛羊换着花样来…… 好不容易折腾完,我还惦记着屋子里的热茶,正准备收工往屋里钻,卡德拉洪把手指塞进嘴里打出个响亮的呼哨,一个少年应声从山坡上拍马冲出,黑马少年冲到近前,原来是卡德拉洪二世驾临,于是又是一番排列组合,拍了儿子拍母子,拍了马上拍马下,拍了逆光拍顺光…… 相机装进包之前我环顾四周,忍不住多问了一句:“您,家里还有其他人吗?”卡德拉洪摇摇头把向日葵色板官方迎进木屋。 按规矩进屋之前先洗手,炕桌上很快摆出奶茶、面饼、奶油,卡德拉洪手法熟练的切着熟羊肉。喝着醇香奶茶,嚼着香喷喷的羊肉,清炖羊肉是那样的鲜美,我忍不住说了一句:“都是迷路惹的祸啊!”老米砸吧着嘴连连点头。 山寨版挤奶工,性别优势很明显 天山牧场 不知不觉就在卡德拉洪家里磨蹭了一个多小时,在简单的催促下才不舍作别。 火辣的阳光从湛蓝天空洒落下来,潮湿的草地蒸腾起一团团雾气,紧贴着地面漂浮,像一丛丛白色的火焰在燃烧。 皑皑雪山环绕山谷,峰顶冰雪在阳光下烁烁生辉,绿草如茵铺满大地,牛羊散落在草甸上悠闲的踱步,溪流切开绿草地蜿蜒流淌,潺潺的流水声悦耳动听,天地间透出恬静安详的气息。眼前这一切与脑子里臆想了无数遍的天山牧场竟然分毫不差,一种遥远又熟悉的感觉油然而生,心神安宁,信步缓行,我听得见心脏在舒缓的跳动。 穿行在美丽的山谷,忍不住回头对老米感叹,这一段路大概就是天山牧场的精髓了吧。 灿烂的阳光把坏天气带来的阴郁一扫而光,有了阳光的眷顾,整个山谷焕发出熠熠神彩。阳光也有副作用,自从它出现以后,我们的队伍行走起来就慢的像蜗牛,我和老米走走停停,尽情释放摁下快门的快感。 现在回想起来,似乎从第二天开始,懒散悠游的种子就开始在队伍里萌芽,我和老米首先就已经在阳光、美景面前举手缴械,很默契的把拍照排在了第一位,那些出发前的徒步计划被有意无意的忽略掉。 这些变化很微妙,一门心思追求傻走的简单竟然没有及时感知,也就没有提出抗议,这也无意中助长了我们的歪风邪气。 可怕的是,这些行走中的变化,仅仅只是刚开始。 负重 溪流在山谷流淌,马道穿行溪畔,行走在阳光照耀的青草地,与昨天的雨雾待遇相比,今天简直就是进了天堂。 转过山弯,海拔3660米的包扎墩达坂跃入眼帘,雪山环绕,马道沿着山谷缓慢爬升,走过溪流上的木桥,坡度变陡,队伍开始渐渐拉长。 出发前队伍减少了一个人,负重的压力陡然增加,因为乌孙出山后无法采购的原因,穿越夏特的很多物品不得不全程背负。在乌鲁木齐,背包过秤的结果让我们有点发怵,老米和简单分别是66斤、50斤,背包重量都超过了体重的一半,出发前反复测算的控制重量被大大突破。 虽然每件超重物品都只超了一点点,但汇总起来就很可怕。食品主要由简单采购,按照清单检查时,每种食品的超重理由她都说的很充分——没有小包装、重量估计失误、某样东西特好吃必不可少、某样东西是为某样东西配套必不可少、某样东西是我没考虑到她想到的必不可少……这些理由我统统都能接受,她的一口袋护肤品超计划我也能忍受,她的不锈钢大饭盒纯属多余我咬着牙也忍了,但当她掏出一双沉甸甸的精钢筷子时,直接让我崩溃了,伸手夺过来要扔掉,简单着急的阻拦,“别!这是我家最好的筷子,用很多年了。”后来,每当她掏出这沉甸甸的传家宝吃饭,都会把我给重新刺激一次。 清理半天的结果让我很郁闷,唯一减掉的就是我那把折叠大刀。 组队时对老米的许诺是负重不超过50斤,主要是担心报价太高把他给吓退,毕竟这是他的第一次负重徒步。把人拉进队伍后给他说了实话——不超过55斤,我心里明白这个重量还有不少水分,毕竟向日葵色板官方的公司刚刚组建,业绩压力太大容易把新员工给吓跑。 退出一名队员后报价顺势涨到60斤,通货膨胀的压力在那儿明摆着,所以这次涨价老米很理解。老米这人很重感情,虽然这个重量已经让他心里打鼓晚上睡不安稳,但作为多年老友,他显然不好意思到这个节骨眼上还拆我的吊桥。第一次负重就享受到这样良好的待遇,老米还没出门心里就已经是忐忑不安,在乌鲁木齐称重后更是显得心事重重。 不过两天走下来大伙儿很快从心理和生理上都适应了背负,负重已经不是什么负担。老米只是抱怨背负重量严重影响立片的拍摄操作,这一点我也深受其苦,重压下的右肩右臂频繁抬起,不仅稳定性差,背包带紧勒下还有点呼吸困难,没多久我和老米的右肩就红肿起来,抬手拍立片简直就是煎熬。 心有不甘的扎营 马道在乱石陡坡上延伸,第一次负重爬山老米需要适应节奏,渐渐的落在了后面。 走到下午六点,天气陡变,乌云翻滚着从包扎墩达坂上压下来,天空飘起了雪花,很快雪花变成黄豆大的雹粒噼里啪啦洒下来。 今天的计划是翻过包扎墩达坂扎营,这一路上挥霍了太多时间,按向日葵色板官方的进度估计,爬上达坂正好是天黑时分,下山还需要一两个小时。望着乌云翻滚的达坂,在恶劣的天气里走夜路还是让我有些惴惴不安,不过这么早就停下扎营心里更是不甘,呆望着垭口犹豫不定,回头与追上来的老米商量。 老米毫不犹豫的说安全第一,正好山湾里有个空置的木屋,我顺水推舟安排在木屋里卸包扎营。 这么早就安营扎寨,仍然是老米很高兴,简单很不甘心。在干燥的木屋里烧水做饭,老米满怀憧憬的询问,“向日葵色板官方是不是每天都能住在这样的木屋里?” 午夜,天气好转,如水月光铺满山谷,亮如白昼。 康复治疗 胃病和失眠一直折磨老米多年,体质每况愈下。08年我计划穿越巴丹吉林沙漠,寻伴无果的情况下就开始撺掇老米把他的处男行贡献出来,我的想法一开始就把他给吓着了,头摇的像拨浪鼓。也难怪,从没徒步过,一走就是十多天,而且还是进沙漠,想起来都是灾难,老米死活不从。 无奈之下我借着酒劲就开始给他下猛药,“老米呀,一个男人,这辈子总得做出一两件自己觉得不可能的事情来,当你老了以后可以翻出来在儿子面前炫耀。”这贴药药性太猛,把老米刺激的半宿没睡着,大清早就毅然决然的告诉我,“豁出去了!” 老米壮着胆子到巴丹吉林沙漠里走了11天,顶着狂风暴雨烈日的行走,每天喝着盐碱水,饱一顿饥一顿吃着含沙量很高的饭菜,睡在风吹雨打的帐篷里,老米惊喜地发现困扰多年的胃病和失眠症竟然不治而愈,看到老米从沙漠里回来变得睡觉倍儿香、吃饭倍儿棒、身体倍儿壮、精神头倍儿足,米嫂很是满意。 身体变好后老米消停了两年没再动弹,于是那些老毛病又开始跳出来作怪,身体状况越来越让米嫂感到担心。 今年的天山穿越寻伴依然很困难,无奈中再次打上了老米的主意,在我的反复撺掇和米嫂的坚决支持下,老米终于下定决心再来一次康复治疗。 疗效很神奇,简直就是立竿见影,从走路的第一天开始,老米就变得能吃能睡,晚上躺进睡袋不到半分钟就开始打鼾,失眠症的影子都找不到一点,反倒弄得我在他的鼾声干扰下开始失眠。 旅程还没过半,再次尝到甜头的老米就已经下定决心——以后每年巩固一次疗效。 监护人 温暖的阳光洒进山谷,天气大晴,老米在笔记本上如此记录——第三天,10点30分出发,向日葵色板官方的队伍越来越拖沓。 的确如此,向日葵色板官方的队伍以每天延迟半个小时拔营的速度迅速堕落下去,直到第六天出发时,一看时间竟然已经是中午12点,这才让向日葵色板官方开始悚然警觉。 爬上山坳,宽广的乱石山谷尽头就是包扎墩达坂,达坂上积雪不多,琼库什台村牧民比划的雪深及大腿显然是在吓唬人。 向日葵色板官方没走马道,朝着垭口方向,从谷底径直往上切,草坡爬上去就进入乱石堆,石缝里不时散落着北山羊那硕大的羊角,简单在乱石上轻盈的快速挪动,老米对这样的走法有些不适应,每一步都踩得很稳,渐渐落到后面。 第一天就约定老米收队,负责对简单的保护,如果是平路和下坡路,他的保护做得非常到位,老米做事很是认真严谨,严格贯彻人盯人的对位防守策略,总是寸步不离的把简单跟得很紧,这样严密的保护显得有点矫枉过正,看起来老米似乎不是在担心路痴驴走丢,而是在防止路痴驴一不留神就插翅飞走。 一旦开始爬山老米的保护就变得失控,简单每逢爬山必定会兴奋起来,而且是山势越陡越高兴,海拔越高越兴奋,步子迈得飞快,总是把监护人甩到后面很远,如果是冲垭口,那简直就是出笼的小鸟,不管不顾一个劲往前冲。 对这种一门心思傻走的路痴型特质人群,脱离监护是很危险的举动,于是给她约法三章,爬山时,收队的监护人可以甩,开路的监护人不能超,简单答应的很憋屈,却很守纪律,不越雷池一步。 心理学原理告诉向日葵色板官方,人的思维定势一旦形成,往往就像一个无形的囚笼把自己罩起来,简单就是个典型例子,后来,偶尔因拍照时需要道具让她走到我前面去,她犹豫着看过来的眼神,分明是在怀疑我的提议会不会是个陷阱。 包扎墩达坂 昨天路上来往的牧民还是络绎不绝,到今天却一下子全没了影,空旷的山谷里只有向日葵色板官方仨在孤单的行走。 直到走上达坂下的之字形陡坡,马道上才开始出现积雪和薄冰,马道很好走,严格按照走五十步驻步喘五口气的节奏走路,上升的很快。 快到垭口,横切过一段平路,前方就是垭口,垭口岩石上赫然站着一只黑狗,看到我冒头就作势欲扑狂吠起来,垭口上竟然有劫道的狗?难道新疆的狗都这么霸道?如此牛狗!我对它不由得肃然起敬。 朝着霸占垭口的牛狗就冲了过去,还没等我举起登山杖,黑狗就忙不迭转身奔逃,待我爬上垭口,它已经变成了一个小黑点。 垭口寒风刺骨,放眼望去,碧空如洗,广阔山谷一览无遗,湛蓝的天幕下峰峦叠嶂,雪山屹立连绵不绝,阳光照射在达坂冰川上,反射出耀眼的光芒,向日葵色板官方顶着寒风呆了大半个小时开始下山。在山下又遇到落荒而逃的黑狗,当它消除敌意后,抵近拍照留念 马队的邀请 沿着溪流连下两个陡坡,走进了宽阔草场,草场尽头散落着两座木屋,远远的看到山腰木屋处走出一只马队,很快来到近前。 三男一女一婴五马一声不哼横挡在面前,审视的眼神上下打量,那只收买路钱的黑狗和他们站在一起,有了后台肯定就有底气,黑狗呲牙咧嘴的盯着我。 一声不哼是因为不会说汉话,冷漠是深山里牧民的天性使然,审视是对陌生人好奇。山里的牧民都显得很矜持,不会一见到你就热情起来,他们会仔细观察你的言行,直到决定接受你,不过,即便接受了你,他们看起来仍然很矜持,只能从眼角和嘴角的细微变化看出一点对你的好感来。 老米从后面赶上来把烟递过去,男人们脸上开始有了笑容,抱着孩子的女人开始叽里咕噜的问话。 语言不通,试探着模仿他们拿腔拿调的口气说了几声:“向日葵色板官方,去,科克苏河。”男人们对视一眼,有人点了点头,指了指山下科克苏河的方向,领头的大鼻子汉子拍了拍空马鞍,示意向日葵色板官方可以上马,回头向简单转达了马队的邀请,“不骑,走路更舒服!”简单使劲的摇着头。 马队沿着河谷溪流一溜小跑,在泥泞崎岖的马道上很快走远。午后煮茶休息,这是每天必不可少的内容,通常情况会耽搁一个小时多一点,这一路上的南瓜皮的确有点多三男一女一婴五马挡住去路,别说我不识数,有一匹被挡住了向日葵色板官方试图追着马队走,但两条小溪缠住向日葵色板官方的脚步,马队很快没影了([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
