从没有出过国门的我,看到了国庆自助游俄罗斯的召集帖子,感觉秋日的北方大国应该是风景绚丽的,一念之下联系了发帖人,然后冲动地拍下了往返莫斯科的飞机票,那个时候是2012年5月9日,正值普金重返俄罗斯政坛的日子。 之后好像觉得时间很多啊,可以看很多资料啊,这样的暗想下晃到了9月了,买火车票,订回程票。却几乎没做什么功课就来到了准备出发的时间了。时光就是这么简单地在反复中从一百多天变成一天或者两天的记忆,还是出行好,出行在外的日子,会因为与平常不同,哪怕一个小时,你都能记得她的内容和意义。我们的生活想要多留一些印记,就需要多一点出行。 什么是俄国? 是托尔斯泰的《安娜卡列琳娜》、《战争与和平》、《复活》,还是普希金的《假如生活欺骗了你》? 是《三套车》、《红梅花儿开》,还是柴可夫斯基的《天鹅湖》? 是保尔柯察金,还是卓娅与舒拉? 是彼得大帝、叶卡琳娜二世,还是列宁、斯大林? 是加加林,还是霍尔金娜...... 那个世界上疆土唯一跨11个时区的国家,那个诞生了无数的思想家、艺术家、科学家、优秀运动员的沃土,那个第一个进入宇宙的强大的军事国家..... 脑子空洞的、混沌地、模糊着俄罗斯的形象。 直到旅行归来近两个月的现在,我迟迟不肯动笔,皆是因为我的脑海依然混沌不清,梳理不了对她的思绪,唯一清晰的是我需要更多的时间沉淀,更多地去品读她、感受她、欣赏她! 这是一组无序的预告片,下来的文字和图片肯定有很多缺失,我只是以一个自助游的过客的身份,匆匆的走进这个国家,而且丝毫不懂俄文,留下的空白,就有待其他人去丰富和填补了。 旅行就是这样,向往憧憬,然后去经历,从字面图片到身体意识,那么多的想象因为脚步的移动,最终变成鲜活的片段,留在你的脑海里! 或许就此成为你的一部分! 我看到帖子下方提醒,一个帖子只能上传三张照片,我在大脑里努力搜索,希望找出对俄罗斯最深刻的三个感受,它们是哪三个方面呢? 一、俄罗斯的教堂 二、俄罗斯的园林 三、俄罗斯的美女本文1-6页游记,后接第19-20页,再接31,33-40页,47-61页看美女的到38页、55-56页 先看看我们这次的行程D1(9月30日), 早晨从深圳到香港入关(29日抵达深圳),飞往北京,再从北京飞莫斯科,一天吃在飞机上,乘坐晚上1130前往圣彼得堡的火车,夜宿火车;D2(10月1日),清晨抵达圣彼得堡,找好家庭旅店,开始“西餐”生活。坐地铁在列宁广场转公汽前往“皇村”,下午参观圣伊萨大教堂及十二月党人广场,步行涅瓦河大街,宿圣彼得堡;列宁广场皇村圣伊萨大教堂 D3(10月2日),上午去夏宫,乘船游芬兰湾抵达冬宫游览,中午露餐面包,晚餐吃牛排大餐,夜逛彼得堡临街小店,宿圣彼得堡;夏宫芬兰湾冬宫 D4(10月3日),早晨到弗拉基米尔教堂感受东正教仪式, 上午去彼得要塞,下午去滴血大教堂、喀山教堂,逛涅瓦河大街上百货公司,晚上乘火车回莫斯科,宿火车;滴血大教堂 D5(10月4日),清晨抵达莫斯科转火车去金环弗拉基米尔镇,游览圣母升天教堂及悠闲小镇,之后转汽车前往苏兹达尔镇,晚餐在镇上四星园林宾馆吃鱼子酱等,宿苏兹达尔; D6(10月5日),游览苏兹达尔,临时改变行程当天不回莫斯科而继续留住小镇,晚餐买菜做饭,吃了一顿典型的中国餐,晚上散步感受莫斯科郊外的夜晚,宿苏兹达尔;D7(10月6日),碰巧遇到一年一度的赶集节,又改行程,一直玩到下午1点多坐车到弗拉基米尔镇,转长途汽车回莫斯科,夜游莫斯科地铁,宿莫斯科;集市上,边唱边卖,“咱们的大饼最好吃”(猜的啊!唱的什么听不懂)家里种的南瓜、土豆、萝卜、苹果......手工做的针织用品,统统都是自己做的!小洋娃娃带着小老鼠今天也来卖南瓜,好大的南瓜啊!

可惜,还没等看到月亮,我们就落地了,俄罗斯与中国的时差是4个小时,俄罗斯特别擅长的就是阴天,等我们从飞机上走出来的时候,就发现四周阴沉沉的,气温低了很多。 都说进入俄罗斯海关检查很严,不让带水果点心之类的。我还是悄悄带了月饼和一些萝卜干,实际上都顺利过去了。出海关,换卢布,然后就是购去往火车站的市内快车票。 听说俄罗斯的交通也是很拥堵的,的士也不多,所以这次我们多半都是坐市内火车或者地铁,要不就坐公汽,从没打过的士。这是我们在机场的自动购票机前购买前往火车站的城市列车票 莫斯科的火车站有9个之多,不同的火车站是对应开往不同城市的火车,我们的小zl事前都搜索了那些地名和站名,从今天起,我们就开始了拿着打印地图和名称到处问人的自助行走之路了。 我们在飞机场购买的城市列车票直达去圣彼得堡的火车站,但是等到了那里,却发现偌大个火车站,竟然半个英文都没有,这可是俄罗斯的首都,这可是开往第二大城市圣彼得堡的火车站啊,应该也是最大的火车站吧,竟然没有英文示,可见俄罗斯的封闭和保守,这算不算大国沙文主义的遗风呢? 我们拖着行李从这边到那边,半天找不到哪里是候车处,天下着雨,地上都是水,问了几个人都搞不清,甚至警察也指错了方向,当时内心有点打鼓,在这种完全不通语言的地方,自助行是否太冲动了点? 几经周折,终于找到了候车处,也是大出意料,竟然这么狭小破旧,几排简陋的椅子,旁边有几个小吃店,比起国内各大城市宽大亮丽的候车厅,这个候车厅真是一个丑小鸭。 难道俄罗斯城市之间流动的人口很少吗? 幸好有那么几个小时的时差,我们才有那么多时间来找地方,然后穿上羽绒服或者冲锋衣在寒冷中等着上火车。 这是火车站的候车室,就那么几个座位,中间是行李通道,候车的人寥寥无几。候车厅一角,有情侣在吻别下接第5页 小zl之前就在网上订购了火车票,也用A4纸打印出来,在站台上,我们拿出护照,给列车员核对姓名,然后列车员就会告诉我们的铺位号,感谢阿拉伯数字,感谢这个在全世界通用的符号,难以想象如果是如中文汉字般的俄文数字,我们又该怎样。 这列火车都是卧铺车厢,车厢比国内的要狭窄,但设计很有意思,像软卧一样只有两层,下面的床铺是可翻动的,翻起来后将行李放到格子里,放上床板,能保证行李的安全。靠窗那边,平时是一个桌子两个椅子,睡觉的时候就把桌子放下来,也是一张整床,这样,一个档口还是睡六个人,不过排列不一样了。 这样的卧铺空间够高的,但床铺又窄又短,真是令人纳闷,我们睡上去不小心脚都会出来,人高马大的罗斯族人怎么够睡呢?这点到后面参观之后,才了解了所以然,且当后表。 一夜卧铺下来,有三个方面的感受。 首先,与中国不同的是,卧铺床是没有铺好的,每个床铺上只有卷好的垫絮和棉被,旁边会有一套卧具,包括床单、被套、枕套、毛巾,全是白色的,装在一个塑料袋里,一看就是清洗干净的。 我们学着俄罗斯人的摸样,自己铺好床,装好被子和枕头,(毛巾是给洗脸用的)。等第二天早晨再把床单、被套、枕套和毛巾都取下来送到列车员处,自己收拾好床铺,卷好被子和床垫。(之后我们到家庭旅店,也都是如此发送床上用品的。) 这种自助的模式能让人感觉用具的洁净,但实施的关键是需要人们自觉收拾,自觉归还。 一节车厢的顶头左边是一个巨大的垃圾桶,人们有垃圾都是自觉地放到那个垃圾桶,另外一头是列车员的房间,房间门口是热水桶和一个装满了小吃食品的大盘子,列车到站列车员就把那个盘子收起来,等车发动了再端出来放在外面,上面有巧克力、咖啡和一些袋装小吃食品,都有价格,人们要买就自觉放零钱在上面,因为列车员是经常 不在附近的,(相当于中国那些穿梭在各车厢的流动食品车,只是物品没有那么丰富), 我去倒水的时候看着那个盘子不免感慨,真的没人偷吗?那些物品和零钱真的那么安全吗?(拍的照片因为火车晃动不清晰了,没放上来) 还有一个明显的感觉,车厢里无论有多少人,都非常安静,也有俄罗斯人在结伴说话的,但都只是轻声耳语,旁人是听不到声音的。这与我们国内在车厢里大声地说笑及随意吃食品完全不同。这种体验在之后的地铁、公汽、城市列车上及(没有中国参观团的)景点都能感觉出来,安静的公共场所俄罗斯各处所见。 自助式铺床、没有人看守的小吃售卖盘以及安静的车厢,这些细节是不是一块反光镜,照出俄罗斯民族的素质和文明。 作为经常出行的中国人,我们是否需要对自身的行为和习惯进行反思呢?折叠好的干净的一袋用品 躺在干净的床单和被子里面,感觉很安心,很喜欢这种安静地移动空间,也喜欢上了这种网上结伴而行的方式,大家一路相互照顾,但却无需多的寒暄和言语,经常保持着各自的思考空间,这给我这个喜欢胡思乱想的人,提供了绝好的驰骋之地。 不知怎么就想到了安娜卡列尼娜,她就是在圣彼得堡开往莫斯科的列车上遇到的沃伦斯基,她就是在这趟奔驰的列车上踏入了改变自己命运的启程,曾经那个品德高贵,教养十足,美丽大方,受人尊敬的上流社会的模范妻子,为追求爱情离经叛道,以致最后为爱而亡。这个复杂的俄罗斯女性文学形象,甚至比真实的人物产生更大的影响,一直在世间流传。 火车的终点站,就是安娜的城市,圣彼得堡,这个曾经的帝王之都,会承载怎样的繁华,我们还能否寻觅到她所依附的那份上流社会的喧哗和骄傲…… 第二天天还没亮,我们就到了目的地,走出火车站,发现雨停了,抬头望去,只见明月当空,这是从中国走过来的中秋月吧,我们在圣彼得堡见面了! 整齐的楼房和站前广场的方尖堆静静地矗立着,迎接着我们的到来。 我们网上联系的家庭旅店就在火车站附近,于是,大家 拖着行李兴高采烈地前往住所,准备开始我们的圣彼得堡之旅!下接第6页 根据地址我们找到了那个临街的小院,三面都有门,只有正对的门前亮着灯,看那样子,也像个家庭旅店的样子。但大门紧闭,怎么敲也没有反应,看门上贴有电话,打了半天没有人接。再拨一个电话,传出来的全是鸟语。 几个人在门前僵持了半个小时,终究没进到里面。大家决定先到街上去吃个早餐,然后等天亮了再想办法。 这家店是二十四小时营业的连锁店,虽是咖啡店但也有各种快捷西餐小吃。 店里没有客人,只有一个小伙子在柜台后面听歌,看到我们进去,很热情地对我们笑着,拿出菜单让我们点。 菜单以俄文为主,但配有图片,而且有部分英文单词。 这是我点的猪肉卷,配一小碟酸奶,一共199卢布。 一顿早餐一下子就花去40元,还真是有点奢侈。而且,吃下去,感觉是没吃饱的,不过想着两卷肉下去了,应该营养是够了的。 这刚开始呢,可不敢想念豆浆、油条、小米粥了。 这个猪肉卷正式拉开了我们西餐的序幕! 吃了小帅哥做的早餐,突然有人想到让他帮忙打电话,他是能听懂对方的表达的。这招果然好,小zl告诉他我们的意思,他能听懂几个英语单词,也算明白了我们的大意。他打完电话,告诉我们具体的情况,我们团队的那位男士出去寻找,竟然找到了旅店。之前我们敲了半天的地方原来是错误的,并不是那家,而是旁边右手边的那栋,门小得很,门前也没灯,难怪晚上我们找不到了。我们到得太早,订的房间还没有空出来,大家简单的洗漱一下,把行李放在过道上,一致决定先出去玩了再说。嘿嘿,这下,我们可以出门了! 后接第19页 走不远就看到清晨的那个火车站,天这么蓝,方尖堆在阳光下变了模样。一直都听说圣彼得堡一年晴不了六十天的,我们来的头天就奖励给我们一个大晴天,嘿嘿,真是幸运,回家继续攒人品!(他们说人品好就会出行遇到好天气!)我们今天的计划是去“皇村”,必须先坐地铁,然后转公交。那么接下来就是找地铁站。我们这几天做得最多的一件事就是“找”,找地铁、找车站、找旅店、找景点等等,自助游因为有不断地寻“找”显得更加丰富多彩。估计火车站里肯定有地铁,我们就从昨晚出来的地方又进去。白天来看圣彼得堡的这个火车站,感觉比莫斯科的那个好多了,墙上巨大的圣彼得堡的地图,相对宽敞的候车厅,还有各种艺术的雕塑和壁画,已经让人感觉到了圣彼得堡的气息。进了地铁,才发现与国内的地铁差别太大了。 第一感觉就是特别深,踏上通往地铁的自动扶梯往下看,根本看不到底,估计从上到下得花二分钟,只见彩色精致的广告灯箱一个个向后移动,我们就好像鼹鼠似的,一下子钻到地洞里了。 查了一下资料,圣彼得堡的地铁有些是建在地下100-120处的地层中,其中至少有一个地铁站是世界上真正的深度最深的地铁站。一是因为地表层的原因,另外更重要的是战备的因素。据说,斯大林时代在建造这些地铁的时候,都是将其作为防空战备的场所,那个时候正是核武器发展迅速的时代,所以不惜巨资投入其中。地铁入口处深长的电梯把人们带入地底站台第二个感觉,是站台设计都不相同,各具艺术特点(这个特点在莫斯科地铁更为突出),站台头顶是彩色的壁画,墙壁是材质不同的雕塑,在顶棚还做了别致的石膏花边,俄罗斯民族的艺术性渗透在各个角落。 第三个感觉,发现有设计完全不同的候车通道。不知道是不是采用了不同的技术,有的跟国内一样候车站台是开放的;有的好像是一个封闭的空间,像地下通道一样,大理石的墙中间一道道全封闭的门,特别厚实,人们是无法知道是否有列车过来,只有等门开了,才可以直接进入车厢。普通的候车台全封闭的候车台 小zl招呼大家下车了,钻到地面上,发现川流不息的车流中间,竟然有一道很漂亮的凯旋门,前面还有几道有轨电车,很有特色的街景啊,先不管那些,过了马路拍照再说。一会小zl叫我们了,“大家回地铁站。”原来我们下错了站,早下了一站。哈哈,错了也好,错有错的景色!马路中间的凯旋门,听说圣彼得堡有四个这样的凯旋门,全部是由生铁做的,也不知道我们是到的哪条街。凯旋门上的雕塑很精致,建筑物上都有配套的雕塑是圣彼得堡建筑的一大显著特点。看上面的数字,这个凯旋门是1830年左右建造的有轨电车在马路中间穿过。游记后接31页 下了地铁应该坐11路公汽,等了一会,过来一辆,等六个人还没上完就下来了,说是坐反了。过了地下通道到马路这边,就见着11路过去了,却不知道哪里是车站,几个人又浩浩荡荡地沿着车的方向去找。 真是佩服小zl,在一个路口,她竟然又跑回马路对面去问人,竟然还给她问到了,我们就稀里糊涂到了一个广场,一看那个雕像就知道——列宁广场,又白捡一个景点。 看到这个雕像,想起了小时候看的一部电影《列宁在一九一八》,十月革命时圣彼得堡是苏维埃政权的司令部,列宁在这里领导了那场震惊世界的革命,为了纪念列宁,这座城市甚至在他遇害后被改名为列宁格勒,但时过境迁,现在俄罗斯对这个事件保留好感的人越来越少,很多人更愿意称那场革命是“政变”,是将俄罗斯带入苦难深渊的开端,圣彼得堡甚至出现过列宁雕像被炸的事件。 但不管怎样,列宁还在这里站着,像彼得大帝、叶卡捷琳娜二世一样站立在圣彼得堡城市的中央。 看来,俄罗斯民族对于自己的过去还是很包容的,所以,在这个城市我们可以触碰到很多的历史痕迹,无论那段历史是红色的还是白色的。列宁演讲时的动作还在广场上留存,他的激情曾点燃的是一场革命正如诗人马雅可夫斯基所说:这里每一块石头都记得列宁。 圣彼得堡的公汽没有中国的公汽那么先进,我们坐的是一辆像依维柯那样十几座的车,车上人一直不多,偶尔有几个人站着。 车上没有售票员,也没有专门的收款机器,大家上车,把钱放在司机旁边的引擎盖上,多部分都是自备零钱,如果需要找零,司机回过头来在旁边的盒子里找给顾客。给钱给得简单,收钱也收得很随意。 我们把地图给司机看,司机比划了一下,35卢布一个人,我们请他到站招呼我们一下,也不知道司机听懂没有,反正他笑着点了点头。 坐在公汽上,一路欣赏圣彼得堡的风景,觉得很是惬意,到哪个城市都该去坐坐公汽,真正地坐在当地人中间,让公汽慢悠悠地带着你在城市中穿行,那样,你能真正感受到这个城市的气息和脉搏。 皇村在城市的南郊24公里外,公汽好像开了很久似的,停在一片小树林前面,乘客和司机都告诉我们到站了,有人还指给我们前面的路。 大家下来沿着公路走着,过了马路是一个转弯。 转过弯,大家不约而同地惊呼起来,完全被眼前的景色给震住了: 一条笔直的路,阴沉厚重的云朵前,左边是大片红黄相交的树林,形成一条彩色天然屏幕,一瞬间就出现那个词:开满花的树!那么壮观而气势,宏大中透着娇艳,只憾人心! 树下是碧绿的草坪,草坪上都是落叶,一阵风过,红黄的叶子缓缓飘落下来,有的还飘到草坪边的流水中…… 环卫工人正在收拾草坪的树叶,好像在收拾自己的家园一般,他们的身影让画面更加鲜活,好像是一段注脚——劳动也是一种风景!游记后接第33页 后来才知道这就是叶卡捷琳娜花园的一侧树墙,参团的旅客可能是从其他的路过去的,他们直接就坐车抵达了皇村的门口,所以这条路上才这么清静,清静得如此绚烂。那些秋天的色彩随着脚步的挪动,缓缓拉开序幕,原来它们是衬托,它们的身影是为了那个蓝色金顶——光彩夺目的叶卡捷琳娜宫! 我们到了目的地“皇村”,她还有个名字叫“普希金村”,是因为普希金小的时候在这里读过6年书,而普希金被称为是俄罗斯民族语言的创作者,“俄国文学之父”,所以,人们为了纪念这位伟大的文学先锋,在1937年将这里改名为普希金村。 但短短的6年的读书生活,除了后人留下的一座雕像,整个宫殿和花园再也找不到普希金的痕迹,走到哪里都是皇家的气息。所以叫皇村还是最贴切的。 我们进了园子,竟然看到的大部分都是中国旅游团队,熟悉的皮肤、面孔和声音,让我们有回到了中国的感觉。 皇村分为几个部分,我们还是先排队进入叶卡捷琳娜宫吧。 进入宫殿是需要单独买票的,(100卢布),这里屋里屋外温差很大,一般进入房间都会脱去外套,整个俄罗斯的这些室内参观场所都不允许带外套和背包进入,都必须存起来。所以,每个景点都有大范围的存包、存衣处,有专人的管理。这让我想起曾经看过的小说和电影的一些场景,那些外国人出席宴会、party之类的活动就是进门先脱去外套和帽子,将这些交给看管人,看来这是一种习俗了。我们就好比是那些被邀请的客人一般,嘿嘿,有点意思。 大家戴好鞋套,先上二楼吧。 非常幸运,正好有个中国旅游团进来,我们就跟着一起了解这座宫殿吧。 18世纪初,彼得大帝为了夺取一个适合的出海口,打开面向西方的“一扇窗口”,对当时的北方强国瑞典发起了战争,在征战到今天叶卡捷琳娜宫的所在地时,遇到了特别顽强的抵抗,在浴血奋战后,终于攻克该地。彼得大帝感到好奇,于是抓来给一名瑞军俘虏询问,原来当时的瑞典国王很喜欢此地,希望在这里建一座行宫,彼得大帝听后笑了,说道:“回去告诉你们的国王,这里以后就属于俄罗斯了。” 战后,彼得大帝就将首都从莫斯科迁到了圣彼得堡。一次,彼得大帝来到他的一个宠臣家喝茶,被上茶的女茶奴的美貌所吸引,就索要了这位女茶奴,并一生宠爱她,封其为后,还就将这块地赐给了她,她当时只是让人简单的盖了一座二层小楼。她在彼得大帝死后成为俄罗斯新一代女沙皇,史称叶卡捷琳娜一世。她去世后,即位的伊丽莎白将那小楼拆除,在此地大兴土木,建成了今天的叶卡捷琳娜宫摸样,而她及后面的历代沙皇也经常前往此地度假,所以这里称为“皇村”,那个宫殿叫叶卡捷琳娜宫。([]
一个人的旅行,自拍就变成了技术活。想一个人自由的旅行,想去哪去哪,但是又怕没人拍照?那就继续关注吧,末尾我会告诉大家我是怎样自拍的~【768楼已更新自拍心得】第一次正式发帖写游记,先自我介绍一下,我20岁,大二,工程系女...15岁以后一直在美国上学,家在北京,祖籍湖南人。我是一个爱旅行,爱摄影,爱户外,爱大自然的姑娘~ 苏格兰的小镇风光比大城市的景点对我要更有吸引力。如果想抢先行看到我旅行的图片,可以上instagram找jackieechen )这次旅行分两部分。第一部分是5.20-6.4游学(边旅游边上课),第二部分就是课程结束6.4-6.15以后我一个人的穷游。我会主要分享一个人的旅行部分,末尾会分享游学时的自拍,和自拍教程~自己十天,吃住行花费400英镑左右。住 主要是青旅平均一天20磅,十天200磅。行 主要是火车,大概200磅不到。吃 全是水果和饼干花生酱。我不是很在乎美食。属于eat to live(为了活着而吃)的人。对于有些live to eat(为了美食而活着)的人就会很难在吃上面省钱了。 【照相设备】照相设备:佳能60D, 头18-135mm,三脚架,快门遥控,iphone(很多都是手机拍的), GoPro我爱好摄影,所以设备比较全,但是我觉得技术比设备重要所以一直没有换全副或者上红圈头。免得大家问一个人旅游怎么拍的这些照片,我都是用三脚架支着自己拍的。苦逼哄哄啊 没有一个会拍照的男朋友。仔细看很多照片都可以看到快门遥控器 哈哈我和相机的自拍一张~行头齐全我们出发吧~我一直想在大学毕业前能够周游世界。学生时代有时间没金钱,步入社会有钱却没时间。这个世界这么大,不去多看看永远只是活在自己的世界里,以为这就是全部。我总想走得远一些,爬的高一些,看得多一些。在以后的某一天,回想起那年少轻狂的时光,花样年华,三月桃花,一个背包,浪迹天涯。老爸总是说我,女孩子乱跑什么,放假多看看书,给我搞上哥伦比亚再说!老爸保护欲很强,但是平常忙也没时间管我。我在身边就会管得严,不在身边就任由我自己。所以放假我不想回家,回了家老爸就不放人了,不在他身边的时候他就不管。爸妈一直很相信我,我这次一个人出去,他们都没有多说什么。反而路上遇到很多人提醒我,一个小姑娘要注意安全,还心疼我天天吃饼干什么的。平常在学校我打工做助教判作业,食堂兼职,一礼拜20小时,一年也有4000多美金收入。老爸每年给的零花钱也绝对有的省。出去前老爸还说打工的钱快没了就给你打点,但是我也没要。我不爱开口求人,钱多有多的花法,钱少也可以活的很潇洒。看,我这次出来,不算机票,吃住行才400多磅!哈哈哈我特自豪。吃饼干我也开心 【行程】集体游学5.20-5.23 Dublin,Ireland (3 nights)5.23-5.27 Londonderry, Northern Ireland (4 nights)5.27-6.5 Belfast, Northern Ireland (10 nights)独自旅行6.5 从Belfast做游轮去Cairnryan, Scotland 距离北爱尔兰最近的苏格兰的地方。然后做Bus去Glasgow随便逛逛然后做火车去Stirling(小镇,很有风情)一下午往返,然后最后一班车去Oban6.5-6 Oban (海岸小镇都别有风情 一定要去一个)6.7-8 爱丁堡 Edinburgh6.9 Inveness (尼斯湖所在)6.10 晚上回爱丁堡住一晚,第二天一早火车去York6.11 York 早上到晚上火车去Oxford6.11-12 Oxford(可以去Bicester North购物 嘿嘿 女生嘛 无论我多么爱大自然我还是一样爱逛商场,最后没去成,懒得了 哈哈)6.13-6.14 伦敦 唯一一个提前定了住宿的 因为怕旅游高峰找不到地方住几张预告片。明天开始正按时间顺序~ 【第一天】6.5一大早从Belfast做7点多做最早的游轮到达苏格兰最近的地方Cairnryan,一个小港口。22.5英镑,2个多小时达到。我打车去的港口,花费大概10英镑。提前半小时去就好。像飞机一样会托运大行李checkin之类的。不过很快。游轮在direct ferries(订票链接 3w.directferries.co.uk)游轮环境很好,里面有餐馆,购物,免费电影院。里面很大很多层,可能是因为我买的很早的游轮,人也很少。大家都找个舒服的地方躺着睡会养精神。我最喜欢跑到最上面的甲板上吹海风。一个人感觉特别自由。终于一个人出来旅行了 我是个很随性的人。但是在生活中能有多少能随着自己感觉走呢。这次我什么计划也没有定,没有提前定火车票,没有提前订住宿,就连要去的地方也是跟着当地人口中的美地而随时变化着。(在这里说一下,如果想要在上一层次的省钱,并且知道自己要去的地方,可以提前上网订火车票或者巴士,哪怕提前一两天都会便宜一些。) 简单说一下衣食住行【行】出行真的好多方法。飞机,火车,游轮,大巴。1.飞机提前买也很便宜,但是看不到沿途的风景。尤其是苏格兰,沿路实在是太美了。苏格兰给我的感觉就是一个字,绿。哪儿哪儿都是绿油油的。沿途还有紫色的花,听当地人说貌似是野花。这么美的野花,给一路上的绿加了点彩。2. 火车我这一路的首选。在欧洲,我觉得首选还是火车,方便快捷。**火车通票。可以选择买BritRail Pass,但是必须要在国外买好。我本来要买的,但是到了才发现,只能国外买,英国本地不卖。一张通票,随时,随地hop on hop off。想去哪去哪,免去了排队的麻烦。 **省钱法。但是一定要有确定的行程。可以去3w.thetrainline.com 提前订票。避免高峰期(大约早上10点前)就和飞机票一样,价钱一直在变,要提前订。选合适的时间。这种票只能上你买的特定的那个时间的那一班火车,通票和临时买的就可以任何时间的任何一班车。**临时买。到了火车站临时买也可以,会稍微贵一些。近的地方我都选择的临时买,因为我没有确定行程。一天当中随时想哪一趟火车就上哪一趟。起晚了也没事。往返票很划算,一般往返票和单程相差价格不到一英镑。临时买的往返票,当天任何一班车走,返回的票一月内有效,任何一班车回。唯一一个远途的从爱丁堡到伦敦,临时买的话要150+英镑,有朋友飞机才50磅。所以这一段我采用的提前定。提前订分了两部分,从爱丁堡到York(37磅),York到London(20磅)。York再去伦敦的路上,不防去玩一趟,不大的小镇一日游可以。提前订省了100磅。Glasgow火车站~3.游轮去英国周边的小岛玩啊什么的。这次有点遗憾没有去一个岛玩玩。Oban是个港口小镇,非常方便的。英格兰玩到后面去Oxford时候都懒得拍照片了,都差不多,可能只是对我,大自然风光更吸引我。我宁愿后面不去Oxford省下那一天在苏格兰边上的小岛玩玩。4.大巴大巴很便宜,但是耗时间。在Inverness的时候碰到一个澳大利亚背包客,提前两天买的大巴去伦敦,才20多磅。但是要12小时从Inverness到伦敦。有时间的话,大巴还是很不错的。这张图是到了Cairnryan后一出来就有citylink到Glasgow的大巴。17.5磅,2个多小时到。大巴站离Glasgow Queen Street火车站很近。一路上风景绿油油的。感觉特别惬意。我是一般一上车就睡,但是尽管那天早上5点多就起床,我也不愿合一下眼。苏格兰第一印象,绿油油的。 【住】住的都是青旅。平均20一天,伦敦会贵一些最好提前订。我一般定离火车站近的地方。除了伦敦,我感觉英国各个城市都和小镇一样,很小,走就能到各个地方。一个女孩子拎着行李还是火车站近的地方比较方便,而且一般都在是downtown市中心。爱丁堡一下火车站就是最繁华的王子街,全部是购物。 伦敦很大,不过地铁很方便。我觉得住paddington附近不错,回去的时候可以直接搭去Heathrow机场的快轨 15分钟到机场,很方便。而且离Hyde Park海德公园,Oxford Stree牛津街(购物血拼的地方)也很近。走路10多分钟。这是在Oban的Backpackers Plus,很干净。这是Belfast的青旅里面的样子。看到下面的小铁笼子了吗,可以自己上锁的。有些青旅会有自己的小柜子或者小笼子。有些被单也需要自己铺一下。我在Oban的时候,10点多才到,临时找的地方,最后一张床...不然我就要露宿街头了。 所以后面我学乖了,前一天或者当天早上找好里火车站近的青旅。补充一下【住】如果经济富裕,可以考虑住民宿或者B&B。环境好住在当地人家。这是几个出游很方便的app第一排1,2是查火车时刻的the train line和National Rial; 3是citymapper在伦敦的时候看路,差地铁线路。第二排都是住宿。hostel world查青旅;2是airbnb可以查当地民宿,很想住但是还是节约钱买漂亮衣服吧;3是coach surfing没有用但是推荐下,可以免费驻当地人家,可能是一个沙发,或是客房。但是我没有时间建个人主页了所以没有用。最后一个tube map是查伦敦的地铁线路【食】我主要就是吃饼干蘸着花生酱。其实我一点也不介意,我觉得很好吃 哈哈。除了这些我就买水果吃。懒人嘛水果洗洗就好了。饼干1英镑一大包,花生酱4磅。10天后,两包都没有吃完。去了几次超市卖水果,一次10磅左右。大概吃就花了40磅不到。10天… 不雅的说,我感觉吃了就拉了,没啥用,就满足那一下。我不如省下那钱买几条漂亮裙子,可以穿好多年呢。哈哈这是我十天的伙食。中间有买过酸奶,鸡蛋什么的补充一下。但是我对吃的要求真不高。在爱丁堡的时候遇到一个马来一个泰国的男生,听说我吃饼干可怜兮兮的还请我吃好吃的,好感动。还是好人多。【衣】我带的衣服不多,很多青旅可以洗衣服的,这一个多月我总共洗了2次。只带了4件T恤,但是我带了15条内裤…哈哈女孩子的话衣服什么的尽量少带,因为到这里肯定会买哈哈。留着地方。带衣服尽量可以多穿几层的。因为天气变化很快。我带了这些:4件T恤 (黑白灰,一件彩)2条裤子(穿一条,一共3)一堆堆内裤3件格子衫一样的随便可以在t恤外面一套的1黑色长袖1薄针织衫1睡裤(legging)1裙子牛仔马甲真的装起来很少~ 来了以后买了些衣服什么的。最重要的是件军绿外衣,不然我冷死了- -出行要带的少又要在照片里多变,就要多带基本的黑白灰内搭。上面一个T下面可以短裤可以长裤,可以半身裙,冷的话外面穿上针织衫,大衣什么的。这边5月底大概10多度。但是太阳出来会很暖。所以尽量多穿几层,热了脱,冷了套外衣。现在终于理解以前看的街拍为什么穿着t恤戴围巾,穿着裙子穿大衣了哈哈。【其他】雨伞/雨衣,感冒药(这边冷,天气多变,备着吧)学生证(有些门票会便宜~)锁(我忘带了,囧)在青旅多人间床铺下会有一个小铁笼放东西,可以锁起来安全。 【通讯/wifi】我住的各个地方都有免费wifi。因为离开Belfast以后就是独自旅行了了,所以买了张sim卡。主要是要用google map免得丢了。有网还是很方便的找吃的啊,地图啊,传照片啥的。各种便利店都可以买到,跟他们说需要simcard就好。很多选择,其实都可以,反正就用这么半个月吧。我买的3公司的卡,信号不错,火车上大多都有3G。1英镑Sim卡,最低充值10英镑。是按流量收钱,不过很便宜,我狂用也都够用。 【第一天】6.5继续坐游轮到达Cairnryan大概9点多,外面立马有citylink的大巴到Glasgow。临时上车买的票。大概中午12点左右到达Glasgow.初定计划是去Oban住一晚,Stirling住一晚,但是错过了中午去Oban的火车下一班要4点多。买好了票要等三个多小时。走不住的我不到一小时就坐不住了,发现去Stirling的车很频繁,火车站还有寄存行李的地方,问了问当地人说Stirling三小时玩+往返足够。留意了下最晚一班今天去Oban的是6点半左右,我有4个多小时呢。于是我就突发奇想的跑去了Stirling。在Stirling火车站。很小清新的火车站。在小镜子前自拍了一张哈哈。最前面发的站在火车站边上没有行李的那张就是Sitrling火车站。在晚上去Oban的路上,更是一路看到很多小清新车站,爱得不得了,但是停车时间超级短,无奈没有拍照啊啊啊。如果有喜欢小清新,森女文艺范的摄影爱好者可以去啊。从Glasgow到Oban的火车途中经过很多qq的车站,记忆很深刻的是Lock Awe的车站。很窄的火车道但是旁边有探出头的紫色野花,边上绿油油,不大但是精致。这两张是在城堡外面的城墙那里拍的。苏格兰这边很多小镇都有一个小山头可以俯瞰整个小镇,Stirling城堡和爱丁堡都是在山上,可以看全景。在城墙外Stirling往返Glasgow的票才7.8磅临时买的。单程票7磅。大概40分钟左右到。Stirling是个很Q的小镇,有Stirling Castle。拿着三脚架走走停停的拍照,最后只剩一个多小时,没有进去城堡,反正我是打算去保存最完好,最大的爱丁堡城堡,所以就没有多花那十几磅看这个了。感觉都差不多。 【第二天】6.6 Oban前一天晚上搭着最后一班6点半的火车到达Oban。全程3个多小时大概十点到。很幸运,火车上有个Oban当地的男生,他在英格兰读研究生,跟他聊了一路,告诉我Oban去哪里玩,可以住在哪个青旅,一路上还给我指出经过的湖还有遗弃的城堡。聊了聊美国英语和英国英语一些好玩的用词区别。比如美国的裤子叫Pants但是在英国指的就是Underwear内裤。当地人叫湖泊loch而不是lake。等等。俩家Oban小哥给推荐的青旅只剩一张床位,正好留给了我这个空降人员。哈哈。很幸运第二天是个大晴天~~这次旅行最喜爱的两地方一个是Oban一个是Londonderry。Oban属于苏格兰高地,附近有很好的登山地方。火车上的Oban小哥告诉我可以去BeninLora Hill。他就要去那爬山,要是我多呆一天就可以搭个顺风车和他一起,可是我时间不充裕。Oban很小,整个小镇就一条主路,又临着水,还有林荫小路。爱得不得了。两个景点,Dunollie Castle 和McCaigs Tower。出发~见镜子必自拍 哈哈沿着岸边的路走走停停拍照片,坐在海边吃面包片(peanutbutter sandwich花生酱+面包片 哈哈)沿岸风景。哈哈拍了几张游客照~到了三点多实在是热,而且相机快没电了,我就跑回青旅换了条裙子穿。带来了这么久终于暖和到能穿上裙子了。现在出发去小城堡~ 一路上全是绿油油,特别适合拍小清新,森女范儿 哈哈路上看见作画的老爷爷,他自己也融入了画里~我想说,没有时间观念的我,一路拍拍停停,到了的时候都5点多了,正在拍这张照片的时候来个人看我自拍呢跟我说话,我就问他城堡往哪走,他说已经关了,10am-4pm。我问在哪我去门口看看,因为我明早8点就走了,他一听让我沿着路往前走他去屋里拿钥匙给我开铁门去了…真是好人多啊好人多。好人一生平安~当当当~小城堡Dunollie Castle~ 好Q啊哈哈,里面在修建不让进。背面的树藤,古老的感觉。小城堡边上奇形怪状的树 哈哈从城堡回来,慢慢开始冷了,回去加了件衣服,大概8点多去找McCaigsTower. 不是很远,在小山坡上,在上面可以看全景~ 今天天气特别好,因为白天慢悠悠的拍照片,我也是无意的选了这时候来,正好赶上了落日!超级美!真恨当时没有拍延时拍摄做视频… 苏格兰这边晚上10点才落日,11点才黑天。早上3,4点就开始天亮,一天很长。慢慢天黑的Oban今天多写点,明天要去跳伞...不知道还能不能活着回来【6.7】Edinburgh 爱丁堡早上搭着最早8点多的车回到Glasgow转车去Edinburgh。一出火车站就爱上了这里。古老的城市,不一样的气息。【6.7】Edinburgh 爱丁堡继续爱丁堡街头,拿着地图找Castel进城堡很幸运又是一个大晴天,在城堡上可以看到爱丁堡全景,还能看到远处的海岸。我会告诉你们我为了拍那几张照片爬到城墙上,被security保安警告好几次嘛。哈哈。在这种旅游人多的地方就是管得严,我在Londonderry的时候爬上爬下都没人管的。 晚上去Calton Hill上看日落。上面有几个纪念碑。爱丁堡慢慢天黑漏了一张Stirling城堡大门的照片。要睡啦,现在还在美国有时差。明天去跳伞,如果活着回来继续更新~~ 今天去跳伞~我活着回来啦!谢谢支持,不好意思没有时间一一回复大家,只有快快更新给大家饱眼福啦~插播几张今天跳伞的照片~太爽了!在空中飘着,看着远方的地平线,感觉一切都在脚下,那么渺小,时间都静止了。下一步打算考个跳伞证,以后自己跳!!!PS 有朋友问这些是谁拍的。这几张跳伞的照片是跳伞的地方都会有的随行录像和照片。我本来特意买的gopro手腕带也不让带。。所以没办法自己拍自己录。心疼死了一百多美金...不过人生第一次,记录下来也值得的~ 不好意思啦大家,今天一天没更新。因为白天去跳伞什么的。回来整理了剩下的一些照片,先发上来给你们饱眼福,字之后再加把,现在美国这里已经凌晨了,困死了但是中国是白天,不想让你们等着,所以熬夜更新一下再睡觉~我乖吧~这是继续【爱丁堡】的几张这在爱丁堡城堡里面calton hill上面准备看日落【6.9】Inverness继续【6.9】 Inverness这个小镇也很小,很喜欢,就是沿着一条河River Ness好像是。因为附近有很有名的Loch Ness(尼斯湖)(好像是15分钟大巴,不记得了,因为我没去...我知道,跑那么远上去高地不去看尼斯湖不是白去了,不过这就是一个人旅行的自由所在。我后来觉得这个小镇很Q很美,想留在这边拍照,可能去尼斯湖时间就会很紧。 打听了一下,那边又是一个城堡,看过爱丁堡的了感觉都差不多。又不想仓促拍片,所以决定不去了)这个镇很绿很绿,让我想起Oban通往迷你小城堡的那条小路。绿油油的,像秘密花园一样。偶尔还有哪些紫色的花。被一片绿色环绕着,原本浮躁的心也沉淀了下来。决定多在这里享受一会悠闲的时刻,不去扎堆看尼斯湖了。沿着湖走,在河中央有小岛!小道上面超级绿超级大棵的树。就问路人Ness islands在哪就好。真的超级绿...适合拍摄小清新,森林系的片~([]
8月22日晚上从马来西亚的吉隆坡飞去了意大利的罗马。在欧洲的行程还没有确定,就从罗马开始旅行基本上就走一步看一步,走到那就算那呗。。。旅行中没有闲工夫写文字就简单的发点图片吧!纪录下走过的行程:意大利:罗马——梵蒂冈——佛罗伦萨——比萨——锡耶纳——圣吉米亚诺——米兰瑞士:卢塞恩———苏黎世德国:巴州———国王湖奥地利:萨尔茨堡———维也纳捷克:布拉格———克鲁姆洛夫德国:柏林———汉堡荷兰:阿姆斯特丹———马斯特里赫特比利时:卢森堡:法国:肯尼亚:坦桑尼亚:在意大利的驴友有木有?求各种形式的拼房+拼饭。。。去欧洲是上中学时就有的愿望,这次终于有机会实现,实在是老天的恩赐咯!在旅行的过程中重拾自我,一个人来到欧洲,需要溶入这里的生活,否则自己会很痛苦,我想我应该能做到。我想能溶入这里的生活是因为我没有像大多数中国人那样把自己摆在亚洲人甚至是中国人的位置上跟他们交往。作为同是吃食物造粪的地球人,没有什么区别,如果他们是吃粪造食物的,那我们天朝人也不敢吃食物了,但是还好他们和我们一样也是娘了个希匹的造粪动物,这样想我们就是平等的哇哈哈。。。没有来欧洲之前就知道这里的空气很新鲜,大概相当于杭州空气质量优的日子,甚至更好。所以下飞机走出机场,不由的做几次深呼吸,我终于又来了,自由的欧洲。这里是没有压力的欧洲,没有人在意你有钱没钱,没有人在意你在这里是否有房,是否有车,是否穿名牌,是否结婚,甚至没有人在意你是否穿衣服。。。总之,不会有人会在意你的一切,爱干嘛干嘛。你要是觉得失落,你就失落,你要是觉得寂寞,你就寂寞,你要是觉得自由,你就自由。第一次去欧洲,基本没有行程上的设计,觉得那里都难以割舍,这样可能这次的欧洲之行注定是走马观花只能对欧洲历史、文化作一些基本的了解啦。不过这也不要紧,按照家里的安排明年应该还是会去欧洲留学,学习企业的管理。虽然自己并不喜欢这个专业但还是应付一下吧,希望自己将来的另一半能有企业管理上的天赋,这样以后就不用我自己直接来管理公司,可以过一些自己喜欢的生活方式,就像扎大叔那样选择30多岁就退休到处旅行过些简单平常的穷日子,希望这样吧。。。算算来8264快半年了,期间得到了很多领导、老驴们的关心与指导,这也是我一路走下去的动力源泉,看到你们能开开心心的来这里评分跟帖,善善真诚的在圣母玛利亚的像前替你们祈福啦!!!罗马的中央火车站Roma Termini,过几天会从这坐火车去佛罗伦萨。火车站的周围就是中国商贸城,有很多福建人、浙江人在这里长住经商。到了罗马就按照LP旅行指南上的介绍直扑那家物美价廉的冰淇淋百年老店,从罗马中心火车站走过去大概20分钟左右的路。这家冰激凌店的制作完全遵循自然原则,所有选料均为时令水果、天然坚果、奶、蛋等,甚至除了原料本生含水外制作过程不再加一滴水。因此在入口后,绵延松软的口感、新鲜且层次鲜明的味觉体验,感动各年龄层的视觉及味觉,它更是意大利爱美女性的最爱,低脂、低糖、低热量,最低乳脂肪含量在10%左右,吃了也不会发胖的哇哈哈哈。。。还有那些美味的冰激凌糕点。。。吃完冰激凌后坐地铁去罗马斗兽场,到了那里感觉比想象中要破旧,进到里头,也没有在电影电视中看到壮观,就是大环套小环的圈圈里面象迷宫一样的一排排小巷似的隔间,真不知道当时残忍嗜血的罗马人是怎么观赏人与兽或人与人的血腥决斗的。出了斗兽场,爬上了山丘顶,可以俯瞰一下罗马废墟的全景。。。斗兽场的旁边这个建筑物看起来有点像巴黎的凯旋门斗兽场外面有很多这样的货,你花几个小钱就可以与他们合个影什么的,下次那个胆子大的姐妹与他们合影的时候顺手掐掐他们的肌肉看结不结实哈哈哈哈哈哈斗兽场的外围轮廓这俩姐妹踏着电动车围着斗兽场转来转去不知是什么的干活斗兽场外面的石头路上一辆精致的扫垃圾车斗兽场二楼的走廊有一个古物博物馆,在这些玻璃柜里面陈列着古罗马时期斗兽场里勇士们华丽的盔甲、武器。。。等等([]
拉萨于我是儿时的梦想,这些年走过青藏、甘南、川西,每次临近的时候,都停了下来。没有触及,是因为我觉得自己的渺小实在没有准备好去拉萨的勇气。有时也幻想着,牵一人可终老的手,在布达拉前鉴证下爱的誓言;有时会想起那一年,在雨崩村里,那个单纯的小伙子用不准的汉语,断续的表达,雨崩夏天我们住,冬天我们就去拉萨。拉萨,拉萨。那是一个让我想想就觉得魂牵梦绕的地方。有人去过拉萨,然后就毅然辞职,从此踏上了间隔年的旅程;有人去了拉萨,去了就不再离开;有人去过拉萨,便抛开了尘世,坦然去圆寂自己的梦。拉萨,拉萨。那是一个让我想想就觉得神奇无比的地方。那梦里无数次浮现的拉萨。它是世界上最缺氧的城市,却成为无数来者的心灵氧吧。拉萨,我终于带着一颗忐忑的心,走向你,走向一个美丽的梦。2013-1-25拉萨 2013-1-26拉萨发呆,布达拉宫 2013-1-27大昭寺 2013-1-28羊湖,卡若拉冰川,日喀则,扎什伦布寺,樟木这篇游记,在物理距离上,可能不是精彩的那一篇,但是,我希望你能慢慢的读,和我共同来分享,这个让我常常眼含泪水,一步一菩提的感受的地方。行走,我觉得不是你走了多远,而是你感受到了多少。初到拉萨,住在东措,这家较有名气的青旅。拉萨的夜是寒冷的,没有了太阳,一切都是冰凉的。不过青旅提供了电褥子和暖阳,还算是比较舒服。东措的墙体可以涂鸦,给我印象最深的一句话是“从北京我飞到拉萨,看到布达拉,没什么感觉,头疼高反了,打了一天针,就回去了”。拉萨,这样风景与心灵都会震撼的地方你都不觉得好,我不知道生活还有什么可以感染你。或许你来,只是因为听到几次这个让人觉得神奇的地方,你来了,却忘记带来虔诚和故事以及坚定的信仰。如果提前你没有做好充足的功课,我想拉萨的众多充满历史的寺庙,在你眼中无非是红砖白墙的形状而已,看过一两座审美疲劳也罢。来拉萨,我觉得最该做的,不是去提前喝上一周红景天,而是看上一周拉萨人文历史的书,你会对这里爱得更深沉。这座除了印度圣地外,藏族佛教徒最主要朝圣的城,有着太多太多的故事。或许你走过的某个脚印就会与圣者们的足印相印相合。这里每一条的道路,都写满了虔诚,心怀敬畏,一切都不那么一样。在拉萨城,我常走走停停,我没有着急去看壮美的风景,我想静下来,让自己的心得到放松。没有想去寻求什么答案,那么获得的可能就是灵性最好的回答。随便站在哪里,我仿若都能看到,许多朝圣的人在一步一扣,她们的眼神让我时常眼泪满襟。要知道,朝圣的人们几个月甚至更长的时间都在路上,他们没有什么先进的装备保障。我见过一个五六十岁的阿妈,脚下是破旧的军胶鞋,一路来的泥泞早已掩盖了鞋子的真实颜色,肩部背着和她后背一样高的玻璃丝袋子,开口处就用麻绳扎起来,背在身上,而腰间挂着一个烧的发黑的水壶……看到这些,我甚至忘了举起相机,我呆望着默默的目送这这位老者,在心底为她祝福。一般朝圣者上路,口袋里会背着糌粑和牛肉干,烧点热水,就着风霜雨雪,便是一餐。据说,许多人死于朝圣的途中,经过的人,会取出死者的牙齿带上路,最好到达时,将牙齿塞进大昭寺某根柱上,代表替死者完成心愿。如果,我可以什么都放下,什么都不要,修得为来生,修在未来,我不在乎今生的疾苦,所经历的风尘与艰辛,我坚信来世的轮回,我的心会生出一朵美丽的睡莲,它让我日日安稳,伴我安眠。第二天去了布达拉宫,冬季是淡季,票价100元。如果你住在平措,有一部分房间是开窗即可看到布达拉宫的。这座占地总面积36万余平方米,东西长360米,南北宽270米,主楼13层,高117米,是世界上海拔最高,集宫殿、城堡和寺院于一体的宏伟建筑真的是和我想象里一模一样。太多的图片上看到过它的外观,除了气势宏伟外,从建筑的角度来说,真的没什么可以惊呆的。但是如果你了解布达拉扩建的历史,或者站在它的脚下,不仅仅对它是仰望了。在布达拉宫参观需要遵循所有藏传佛教的禁忌,例如不能戴帽,不能拍照(指进入宫殿以后,宫殿外可以拍一些“外景”),不能踩踏门槛等等,大殿内部比较阴冷,即使在阳光充足的中午。绕行布达拉宫为顶转经路。布达拉是拉萨最具特色的代表,这么说一定不为过。无数次的在宣传片,画册中见到。她的美,大气而端庄。今日来到它的脚下,顿觉自己的渺小,如蝼蚁。据说几百年前,这是一个完全没有图纸而建造出来的宫殿,从建筑的意义上来讲,说它是瑰宝也当之无愧。布达拉宫的美,在天然,在历史,在人文,在建筑学,在依然流动的朝圣者就像它的血脉,绵延而生。布达拉宫内是不允许拍照的,或许只有这样,才为布达拉宫殿批上一层神秘的面纱。我没有雇导游,在里面晃荡了一个钟头不到就出来了。或许只有厚重的历史,才可以让人在这里驻足。不得不提一下,布达拉宫的洗手间是很具特色的,建议感受下。从布达拉宫出来,顿时觉得外面温暖无比,暖洋洋的太阳就这样照到身上。冬天进入布达拉宫还是比较阴冷的,建议多穿些衣服。参观完了布达拉宫,就开始绕着布达拉宫转经。仓央嘉措的诗,总是让这些感性女青年心生期待,即便是很多人还没有这种信仰,她们依然会转动经筒,为自己修得福分。此刻,我站在你的脚下。凝重的,我不敢呼吸,我知,每夜遇到的是你,梦一次,是不是就算走过一遭,能不能,就此,阔别已久的心事,行不行,就此,就这样沉淀下去。当,我遇到你,我想这将是个开始。【摄影贴士】早晨七点可到对面的药王山观景台进行拍照,观景台有开放时间,请自行关注,也可到龙王潭拍倒影。 次日去了八角街后,去看被誉为西藏之眼的大昭寺。在拉萨,想早起是很困难的事情,按照生物钟,七点多就醒来的我,还是翻了个身,随即睡死过去,天太黑了,没有阳光的拉萨早晨,是很冷的。日头起来,室内渐暖,已是九点多了。简单洗漱,去隔壁的好利来喝过早点,就去八角街上。那是一个我很想去淘货的地方,无奈市场经济的大潮把这里也搅和的和街边小摊很相近。朋友遇到了有缘的藏族兄弟,说是改天去家里看比较老的藏刀。我与这里的佛珠终无缘不欢。逛了很久,没有遇到一串合适的。去时正逢当地道路改造,很多地段是扬尘严重的。冬季的皮肤是干干的,但在这里我的眼眶却是经常湿润。我看到那些不畏尘土的人,他们一路跪拜过来。脑门上是血肉与灰模糊在一起的颜色。只有意念和理想是没有什么可以阻挡的吧。喜欢看那些朝圣者的表情,哪怕是暮年,也是纯粹的,简单的。莲花由心而生。我匍匐前行的路上,有风,有雨,有尘埃,但,这些是我无关的一切,我只知,我的朝向,是你,一个期许与未来。走到大昭寺的时候,我才真的惊呆了。这里磕长头的人,远远要多于在布达拉宫看到的。虽然到过藏区很多次,但是这么规模宏大的场面,还是第一次见,多多少少的,不再淡定。合掌十字,扣拇指于掌中,双掌举过头顶,再观于眉心,置于喉,停于胸前轻触,拜下时,双膝着地,双掌分开贴于地面,以额触地,活上身前伸,双臂前伸,全身贴地,后而双臂支撑起身重新站立。十指合掌表示悲智并具,合掌经过头顶、眉心、喉部表示积聚善因以成就佛陀之神,拜下贴地表皈敬,着地即起表由轮回解脱。这是在拉萨一位有缘人讲给我的。 在西藏,有这样一首民歌:黑色的大地是我用身体量过来的,白色的云彩是我用手指数过来的,陡峭的山崖我像爬梯子一样攀上,平坦的草原我像读经书一样掀过……这首民歌描述的是藏民信徒从千里之外磕长头朝圣的经历。而朝圣的目的地之一,就是这西藏之眼---大昭寺。 买了门票进入参观,它是有两个入口,早晨正门开放,直达天井小广场。下午则要从南侧门进入。记得走寺庙的时候要顺时针走。在大昭寺供养零钱的时候,最好提前换好角币。当然如果你内心强大,你决对可以放100块,然后自己再找回99块。我看到不少藏族朋友是这样换角币的。拉萨的寺庙多不设功德箱,所以你可以把零钱放到你供养的佛脚下位置。这里的转经,如果绕大昭寺转经为内转经路,绕行八廊街为中转经路。外转经路为:江苏路—金珠路—林廊北路西段—林廊北路—林廊东路—江苏路大昭寺一层供奉有 千手观音 弥勒 莲师 弥勒 弥勒佛塔 大昭寺二层:从左上一开始为 法王修行洞莲师殿 胜乐殿吉祥天母佛龛 菩提道次第殿 佛子殿 药师佛殿 能仁殿 五王殿 骏马殿 法王殿 六道佛殿 传承殿。此处为在大昭寺二层遥望布达拉。 2012年以后纳木错冬日开放,可以说,冬日去纳木错是对身体的更大挑战。除了往返近八个小时的山路以外,还要经过一个5000+海拔的垭口。但这些依然无法阻挡我对神湖的向往。早晨七点从青旅出发,天还没有亮,继续在车上补觉,不想却更觉寒冷。九点不到的时候,天开始亮了起来。太阳也升了起来。阳光变得刺眼。我开始张望着这满目苍茫。苍茫这个词,总是在写作文的时候用到,也未能真正体会到到底何种景色才称得上苍茫。这沿途的风景让我确是感受到了这词的含义。虽不是草长莺飞,风吹草低见牛羊的季节。但是低矮的草壿让人的视线更加开阔,心也变得宽广起来…一路就这样欣赏着风景,听着我最爱的那首“天籁之爱”奔向你,纳木错,那种心情像是去见一个梦里的爱人,期盼而忐忑。若冬天不如平日的美,不知道会不会失望。一路走着,突然想起梭罗曾说“外面越荒凉,我的情绪就越高昂,这一点从无例外,因此赐予我海洋,沙漠或是荒野吧”。拉萨到纳木错一路的路况是很好的,没什么危险系数。终于要到了,到了,远远的望见,一片白色的冰清玉洁。山湖相连,仿若那冰封的湖水,是念青唐古拉山的眼泪,它流到心里,冻成冰。那关于你,古老的传说,我依然记得。纳木错哇,你是念青唐古拉山美丽的妻子,山与水的交融,世世代代的恩爱。这里的冬天汇集演绎着天地间最壮美和最具魄力的风景。虽不见纷纷扬扬的飞雪,但放眼望去,那白雪茫茫,银装素裹的纳木错是那么宁静而端庄。远处的念青唐古拉山银峰玉柱,在那无垠的蓝天映照下把人们带入一个洁白而高雅的白色天堂。那一刻我眼中的你,没有丝毫的羞怯与粉饰,我只是想静静的凝望着你,无法倾听,无一花一草的贪念,此刻,我的眼里都是你,纳木错,我爱你最原始的样子。一月,在固化的白色与蓝调中我更清晰的认识到你的美不若湖,不似海真正震慑我心的,是你的庄严与凝重玛尼堆在这里,替我守望守候的是幸福么还是一个未止的梦 【摄影贴士】到纳木错进行拍摄一般以春夏秋三季为宜,尤以5-9月为最佳。冬季在扎西半岛上很少有人留守,天气太冷了,我这个原产东北的菇凉都觉得要冻哭了。而且那根拉山口有时会因大雪封山。不过,纳木错的光影变化经常始料不及,任何季节任何时候都可能出现意想不到的光影效果。1、一早一晚是拍摄纳木错湖景的大好时机,强烈建议摄影发烧友在纳木错住宿一晚。2、扎西半岛的岩洞里有不少修行的僧人和尼姑,喜欢人文摄影的不妨与他们交流沟通一下。3、扎西半岛的小山包上新修了观景台,体力好的话可以沿台阶爬上去拍摄远景。 4、纳木错湖边修了转经筒,是很好的人像拍摄地。 羊湖-卡若拉冰川-聂拉木-日喀则-樟木这条路线租车时候,是和师傅讲好的两天行程,但是出发一早师傅说,可能大雪会封路,建议要一天到达。我们就选择一天来走。在高原上,不要去相信什么天气预报。一位经验丰富的老司机会给你更好的建议。往往他们车之间都是相互认识的,谁早出发,到了哪里什么路况都会有所沟通。出发的时候还不到六点。我们是打算在羊湖看日出的。羊卓雍措,简称羊湖,距拉萨不到100公里,与纳木措、玛旁雍措并称西藏三大圣湖,是喜马拉雅山北麓最大的内陆湖泊,湖光山色之美,冠绝藏南。位于西藏山南地区浪卡子县,拉萨市西南70多公里,喜马拉雅绵延的山体间,羊湖像一条美丽的玉带贯穿其中,熠熠生辉。日出的羊湖,不见蓝色,但是你会看到漂亮的光影,这也是一种享受。当然,冬天早晨的羊湖,一定要多穿多穿再多穿。西藏的景致,是大气浑厚的美,远远的,看那么一眼,驻足那么一次,也就今生难忘。从羊卓雍错出来后,跨越4330米的斯米拉山口后就来到了卡若拉冰川的冰舌下。冰舌前沿海拔5560米,观看卡若拉冰川的地方海拔约有5400米。在整个西藏离公路最近的就是卡若拉冰川,离公路只有三百多米。这可是位纯正的冰山美人,冰雪沿冰层张裂消融,形成壮丽多姿的冰塔林,那是上天雕琢的图腾,你无须懂得,瞻仰和凝视就是最好的对待。冰川的背后是山势险峻。卡若拉冰川因“红河谷”、“云水谣”等电影的拍摄而闻名于世。接下来,我们就开始一路奔向日喀则,想着能去趟扎什伦布,这座寺意为“吉祥须弥寺”的寺庙。这里供奉世界上最高最大的铜塑佛像,为强巴佛。我心向往着,在这尊强巴佛前许下对于美好未来的希望。期待着能够实现。强巴佛的大殿是定时开放的。([]
走在转山路上—前言—那一世转山转水转佛塔不为修来世只为在路上与你相遇———————————————————————————去贡嘎转山不是突然的心血来潮,是内心由来已久的向往去贡嘎不是为了与谁相遇,仅仅是因为那座山但,路上的相遇亦是我所向往的不过事实如我初衷,我始终独自走在转山路上————————————————————————————————————————————— 贡嘎山是四川最高峰,被誉为“蜀山之王”,在“中国最美的十大名山”中位列第二,近年因为国家地理的推介,前往贡嘎的徒步者越来越多,知道它的世人也越来越多,但其登顶难度极高,鲜有人能登顶此山,贡嘎山是许多摄影爱好者与户外爱好者的圣地。 我从去年开始了解这座山,去年我在新都桥与人偶遇,无意间得知了这座山峰,不过当时未曾得一见,当时两个人邀请我一起去转山,但当时才刚接触到这座山,对它不明不白的,于是婉拒了对方。回来后我不断的了解这座山,它无与伦比的美很快吸引了我,好片子看多了始终是要中毒的,吕老师的日照金山、某位兄台那不经意的转身....这让热爱摄影的我更对这个地方充满了向往,所以我逐渐确定了要去转山的行程。将近一年的时间,我不断在期待转山这一天的到来,终于,暑假的来到,也意味着我的转山即将开始。 七月对去贡嘎转山来说不是一个很好的季节,甚至可以说是一年之中最不好的月份之一,七月大量的雨水使得可以看到贡嘎山的概率大大降低,正如子梅村一个人这样对我说的“冬天来能看到贡嘎的概率是90%,现在来看不到贡嘎的概率是90%”。但对于还在上学的我而言,能抽出这么长的时间来转山也就只有暑假了。 传统的贡嘎穿越路线是由老榆林进、草科出,一般为七天,逆时针,而我的转山线是草科进、甲根坝出,顺时针。根据藏传佛教的传统,转山转水转经路线皆为顺时针,我虽不信佛教,不过还是尽量按传统来走,其实还有另一个原因是从这条线出来就到达“摄影天堂”新都桥了,且这条线几乎包含了所有观看贡嘎山的最佳平台。路线:草科—界碑石—巴望海—子梅村—贡嘎寺—子梅村—子梅垭口—玉龙西村—甲根坝用时:七天里程:约170KM(自己计算出来的,若不对欢迎各位指正)月份:七月状态:单人、重装、无GPS、无向导负重:25kg左右(出发时)途中黑线为此行路线,图片来自@西藏—假想敌制作贡嘎转山攻略:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1883514-1-1.html 武汉至泸定段6月30日从武汉坐火车至成都,成都转客车至泸定。这次再次深入藏区,离上次入藏已近一年,这次的出发贡嘎山是第一站,后面还有好几站,总共历时原本预计60天,事实上总共历时50天整,上次的入藏虽也是长线,但也只是这次的一半。离开武汉那天并没有很多感慨,只是一个人上路难免显得有些许单薄罢了。这一上路要回来可就是将近两个月之后了。火车是晚上的,我差点错过火车,在武昌站改到了汉口站,我以为武汉站即武昌站,原来有一个站就叫武汉站,比较偏僻的一个火车站。到达成都 次日到达成都,晚点了好几个小时(天气原因),这是我入住的青年旅舍,来之前了解过,入住后发现比想象中的还好,里面外国人居多,旅馆定位人群看样子是针对外国旅客的,前台英文说的麻溜的顺。旅馆出去就是一条河,比较清静。在成都采购的食品,我是按照十天的行程来采购的成都出发前在药店称了一下背包,23kg,背包立不稳,是靠桌子上的,所以实际重量大于23kg,还不包括相机、在泸定添购的物品,所以粗略估计重量总共约25kg左右。成都至泸定路上的风景,才八九个小时,在路上经历了晴天、小雨、暴雨、阴天,真可谓风云莫测!距泸定还有几十公里,有一段小塌方DAY.1 泸定—夏家里电站泸定至甘谷地徒步,甘谷地至草科段坐车前往,下午两点左右于草科徒步至夏家里电站,夏家里电站距界碑石约还有两三公里徒步出城路上,回头遥望远处的泸定城路上的狗可多了,很凶,还好基本都拴住了,不然我要被狗追的在318飞奔,不过这小狗崽没拴着,突然跑出来吓我一跳,凶的很,用登山杖把它赶回去了。草科藏族乡,比想象中还要大些草科有很多这样的瀑布,从高山上一泻而下路上难得能见到一户人家河水非常清澈,前一段时间下雨从山上下来的山上下来的大水,当地人正在疏通在路上遇见的叔叔阿姨,他们开车来看仁宗海的,前面路上涨水了,他们过不去,于是回来了路上的涨水区,水流很急,我沿着路边的石头拄着登山杖才穿过这里路上的隧道,约一百米第一天的营地,这一路有好几个电站,在这里的是成都人,人很好,我要煮面,他们用红烧肉诱惑我邀我去吃饭,盛情之下,实在不好拒绝,遂吃了一碗。晚上在帐篷里处理脚底的血泡,双脚各一个,其实也就是第一天脚下的血泡走着很不舒服,之后的那几天倒还没什么反应了。DAY.2夏家里电站—巴望海夏家里电站徒步至巴望海,路上见过一个房子,有几个藏民,除此之外便什么人也没有,负重的压力有点大,走得有点累。仁宗海电站里夏家里电站很近,一公里左右界碑石,看过之后感觉在电站扎营比在这里要好 巴望海是往然洼沟方向去红色的石头 大路结束处的房子,从这里开始是马道,要进入后面的森林这是往巴望海去的马道的入口 原始森林中的马道,路迹很明显,沿路有马粪、马脚印 偶尔有这样的岔路口,但最后都是到同一条路的途中小憩第一条小河,踩着木桥过去的第二条河,这条很猛,桥被冲走了,想淌水过河无异于找死在河的下游发现了这三根木头,估计是被冲下来的。这是我过河的唯一希望,如果今天过不去,今晚下雨明天水会涨得更大。那就休想过河了,打道回家吧。我过河后对岸拍的,我先将所有装备卸下,无负重尝试过河,过到河对岸确定穿上装备可以过来才回去把装备穿上渡河。河水很冷,与冬天无异。淌过河之后的模样,开始下起了小雨,今天过河是正确的,明天的水会涨的更大。第三条河,木桥很结实,河水流向巴望海这段沿着河滩的路路迹有点不明显巴望海 巴望海营地,四周很安静,只有我会发出声音晚餐是面条,炉具是自己DIY的酒精炉,很好用,我贡嘎转山、亚丁泸沽湖、青藏线都是用它。由于巴望海里的水很浑浊,我只得饮用水煮面,水少了点,吃了回热干面DAY.3今日从巴望海到贡嘎寺,到的比较早,因为途中一个子梅村的藏族大哥用摩托车带了我一小段,天气依旧没有转变,满山云雾,下午在贡嘎寺的时候下起了雨,天气不好,我的心里也一直很忐忑。清晨从巴望海出发,昨晚狂风暴雨啊,还好昨天过河了,照片系三脚架自拍。路很窄、很滑,还不断上下坡,确实只有马和人能走。但,我遇见的那位子梅村的藏族大哥真正让我浑身上下每一个细胞都被他震撼了,大神啊,开着摩托车带着我和包在这样的路上飞奔。就是这辆摩托车,当时我在路上遇见藏族大哥,他说要去草科接个人,我确认我没听错,他要骑这条路去草科!我告诉他前面有一条河涨水了,骑摩托车过不去,他说去看看。过一会儿,他回来了,说过不去,他说让我上车,带我去子梅村,他说前面的路不太好走,而且也不好辨别,怕我迷路。我听了就上车了,背包绑在后面。上车之后把我吓的啊,牛人啊!我都不敢拿出相机拍照,开玩笑,动都不敢动,还照相,生怕一动车就倒了。就上面那种路,过的时候,我是真有点担心啊!不过藏族大哥牛B的技术深深的折服了我,子梅村一个支教的学生说他是子梅村第一骑手,坐上他的车啥都不用担心。出巴望海不久的山体滑坡路段巴望海的尽头是一大片参差不齐的树干这里也要淌水过河,河水真心很冷([]

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([]
