在我心里,所谓的幸福就是:两个人,一辆车,满世界的美景。还有镜头里只有我的你!记忆中盛夏的婚礼和初秋启程的蜜月旅行,随着立冬节气的到来忽然就加快脚步离我远去了,是时候静下来好好做一个记录,记录这场从认识C同学的那一天起就无比期待的旅行。 有时候觉得和C同学的那场婚礼只是个华丽丽的幌子而已,并不代表要收心开始平淡的家庭生活,而是给了我一个正当的理由和C同学一起谋划一场远渡重洋的疯狂蜜月旅行——25天,从西到东,途经22个州,血格n次清零又迫于“长征”还没结束,只得用呈现在眼前的一个个壮丽景色努力让自己回血,开过雪原和荒漠,每天日夜兼程,行程13000公里,全无蜜月该有的闲适和甜蜜。只因为某一天你眼神清亮的看住我,说了句“想去”而已。行程路线图,第一次在地图上画出来的时候自己也被深深的震撼了一下,相对这个行程来说25天真的太短了,但是为了把有限的蜜月时间充分的利用起来,最大程度的看遍美国的美景,我们真的也是蛮拼的!微凉的西雅图的夜晚,美剧中无数次看到的太空针塔,看到它也算是实现了我多年的夙愿熊牙公路,确实算得上全美最险峻的高速公路,一路上看遍从林海到雪原的各种美景黄石公园东北门的lamar valley,在暮色的笼罩下变得格外温柔在这样荒芜人烟、鲜有车过的公路上 把车轮陷进了路边的沙土里,手机又没有信号,当时的心情,至今都还记得 很多朋友私信我,问我关于证和行程的事,私信回复太麻烦了,关于证可以加我QQ492107016,其实美国证很好办的,至于不会说英文,我觉得问不大C同学的小小梦想,娶了老婆还是要抱着裸女照相,我真是个宽容大度、温柔贤惠的好老婆。。。出发前,我本计划着这是一次两个摄影爱好者的旅行,相互学习摄影技术,木有想到就这么变成了你爱拍照我爱笑的世俗组合关于机票:由于这一次旅行终于不像前面的若干次那样说走就走,而是有一段不算短的准备时间,所以我们终于能享受到提前两个多月订票的幸福感(虽然我知道很多穷游大神都是提前半年订票的),去程我们买的是韩亚航空的机票,从北京经首尔飞旧金山,在首尔有一天的停留时间,两人共7500rmb;然后由于C同学突然脑子一热又很想去西雅图看看,所以我们又买了美联航的当天从旧金山飞西雅图的机票(我们真的是no zuo no die的典范啊)两人共1200rmb;回程就轻松多了,买了国航从华盛顿直飞北京的机票,两人共8500rmb,虽然跟有些大神淘到的廉价机票不能相比,但是由于航程的时间还是比较舒适合理的,所以我俩对这个票价还比较满意。关于证准备去美国旅游的话只要事情定下来第一件需要考虑的事情就是证,因为美国个人旅游给的时间是一年,在这一年期限里什么时候出发都可以,所以甚至不用考虑具体的行程,只要在面时准备一份简单的行程单就可以。而且只有证通过后才好安心订机票和酒店,所以越早越好。而且证是面时当场知道结果,干脆利落。Day 1盼望已久的蜜月终于开始了,醒来的时候脸上带着超灿烂的微笑~,早早爬起来继续打包前一天晚上没收拾完的行李,然后拿上两个大箱子和三个拎包奔去C同学的单位接上最后一秒钟还在打电话交接工作的C同学,速速赶往机场,托运了行李,坐在登机口,终于可以关掉手机了,暂时忘掉各种烦恼,好好享受两个人晃荡在异国他乡的幸福感等着登机的时候比较无聊所以拍了一下特地为这次行程去做的美甲,图案都是我自己设计的,从上到下依次是汉堡包、66号公路、纽约夜景和米国国旗,事实证明做个这种美甲还是有好处的,好多与当地人之间的交流都是从他们好奇的看我的指甲开始的。([

2013年春节,准备去越南柬埔寨看看。 原计划是从南宁陆路进越南,由北往南穿越越南到柬埔寨吴哥窟后回国。 做好计划开始买飞机票时发现,从柬埔寨暹粒回国的机票比较贵,从国内去胡志明的机票倒是比较便宜。 这次去柬埔寨主要就是去看那世界七大奇迹的吴哥窟,去寻找高棉的微笑,这是不能略去的。 于是就有了直飞胡志明市,由胡志明市去柬埔寨暹粒,再回到胡志明市,再一路北下,经过美奈,大叻,牙庄,惠安,顺化,河内,下龙湾回国的路线。 虽然去柬埔寨走了个回头路,但从节约自己并不充分的资金上来看,还是个不错的选择。 废话不多说,直接看图说话,虽然照片质量不好,但以量取胜吧。 一千多张照片记录了全程,并附有路线攻略。 春节前,赶上越南证涨价,我们是两次入境越南,需要一月两次入境,两本证花了1140元。 福州飞上海再飞胡志明市两人机票包括税费2850元。 因为我们的飞机是凌晨到达胡志明市,在国内预定了宾馆,2晚总计30刀,加接机14刀。 带了1300刀,剩余290刀。两个人总花费约10566元。 飞机正点到达胡志明市已经是凌晨1点了。 出关很顺利。 走出机场就看到有人举着我们名字的大牌子。 如果不是这么晚到达,根本不需要订酒店和接机,机场有大巴去市内。 在BOOKING订的房间总是不能让人满意,(但又能去哪里订纳?), 只有一个优点是提供早餐。 住在范五老街的小胡同里,走出胡同口就看见The SinhTourist的招牌。这个小帅哥是店里唯一会汉语的人。要不然,真不知道只会几个英语单词的半大老人怎么搞定买很多班次的汽车票。在The SinhTourist买了明天由胡志明市去柬埔寨暹粒的车票。本想买好回来时由胡志明市去河内的OPENBUS全程票。由于赶上了越南的春运。虽然现在是提前了一星期买票,但只有胡志明--美奈--大叻这一段路程有车票。而且只剩余4张票,赶紧掏钱把这一段的票先买了。其实在范五老街有很多家公司经营OPENBUS。我们从The SinhTourist出来,走了不到50米,看到一家公司卖OPENBUS票。可是售票员不会汉语,我们又不懂英语。正在对牛弹琴时,一位新加坡人也来买票,帮助我们买好了后半程的车票,而且还是全程卧铺车票。显然,这段路程的车票已经涨价。现在想想,The SinhTourist不是没有票,他是在等涨价再卖。涨点钱能买到票就好。我们后来遇到很多人买不到车票,从而打乱了整个旅游计划。我们避开了国内的春运,来到越南却赶上了越南的春运。看来,春节期间也要避开越南旅游了。这家公司的马路对面有换汇的,汇率比市中心区的金店低点。换了点越南盾去吃午饭,就在大街边上的小店。价格一点也不比国内便宜,越南人做生意是一致对外,内外有别。范五老街志性建筑。旅店有简易地图。范五老街距胡志明市的景点并不是很远,我们也想走路沿线看看。来前就听说越南的水果鲜榨汁很好喝,路边看到一家,结果是大失所望。晚上回来在小胡同的另一出口处,有一家现做现卖,有很多人坐在小板凳上等待,那个才是好喝。街边小公园街景在繁华的大街中央广场,有一尊骑马铜像,是越南的民族英雄陈元汉。他昭示世人,越南人民是不会忘记历史的。说到越南的历史,是离不开中国的。秦朝时,秦始皇派军队征服了越南北部,中国的版图扩大到越南。公元10世纪,五代十国时,交趾叛乱。爱州(今越南清化)牙将吴权在海门镇打败汉军,次年称王。968年越南丁朝建立,安南最终建立了国家,但一千多年来一直作为中国的属国或藩属国。19世纪后期,法国对越南进行殖民侵略,清朝派兵抵抗,冯子材和刘永福、黑旗军等参战。1885年,清政府与法国订《中法新约》,被迫承认越南独立。从此,越南彻底从中国版图独立,并沦为法国殖民地。1945年第二次世界大战结束前后,胡志明在越南北方的河内宣布独立。而南方还处在受法国殖民保护的保大皇帝管辖之下。1954年7月21,署《日内瓦协议》。《日内瓦协议》规定,越南以北纬17度为界,南北分治,北方由胡志明领导,南方由保大皇帝统治。1955年7月17日,美国撕毁了《日内瓦协议》,取代法国在越南南方的地位,设定了所谓的越南共和国。吴庭艳发动政变,废黜保大皇帝,自己当了总统,建立南越南共和国,首都为西贡。自此,越南南方沦为美国新殖民主义的殖民地。1961年,越南战争爆发,美国与韩国、菲律宾、泰国、澳大利亚、新西兰等国组成联军,介入了这场战争。中国出动军方和大量民力、免费物质,支持越南,援越抗美。1973年1月27日《巴黎协定》订,美国承认越南民主共和国在国际上的法律地位,退出越南战争。同年3月从越南南方撤出全部军队及其同盟者军队和军事人员。1975年5月,胡志明领导的越盟(即后来的越南劳动党)击败了吴庭艳政府。1976年7月,越南南北实现统一,定国名为越南社会主义共和国,首都为河内。为了纪念胡志明的伟业,将前南方首府西贡改名为胡志明市。陈元汉铜像前方是滨城市场,是胡志明市最大的市场。里面各类生活旅游纪念用品齐全。还有各类越南小吃。越南曾经沦为法殖民地,法式烙印无处不在,从早点的法棍到街边的咖啡店让人以为身处欧洲某小镇。中国元素也无处不在,从门面上的汉字到理发小作坊。刮胡子捏背与国内一样舒坦。无论大街小巷,摩托都是绝对的主力。原来以为越南是个穷国。现在已经颠覆了以前的认识。越南国家是不富,但人民却不穷。不像天国,国家富人民穷。到总统府已经快4点了,拍了张照片没进去。门前有妹妹执勤,很乐意与我合影。合影后还到没有路灯的马路上将往来车辆叫停,让我们轻松过马路。胡志明市路边有很多这样大的公园,供市民在公园里休闲歇息。从总统府走到红教堂只有几分钟的路程。圣母大教堂是法国人于1883年建成,据说建造教堂的红砖全部是从法国运来,是仿照巴黎圣母院钟楼的设计建造的。教堂不收门票,但只对游客开放前面一小部分。站在教堂的入口处,看那高大的穹顶和花窗,配上庄严肃穆的神像,显得庄重又有气势。从教堂前方看,两座40米高的白色钟塔直冲云霄。门前伫立着一座重达4吨的圣母玛丽亚雕像,红色基座白色雕像与身后的红教堂相配的极为融洽。红教堂的旁边是百年邮政局。从外表看是一幢普通的欧式建筑。但里面穹顶设计源自伦敦水晶宫的大玻璃屋顶。漂亮的地砖,红色电话亭,手绘的西贡地图和墙上巨幅胡志明画像勾勒出一幅豪华又安详的画面。我也不能免俗,在这豪华又古老的邮局里寄出一张写给自己的明信片。走出邮局,四周景色。红教堂正对着的路是胡志明市最繁华的一条路。路口街头的宣传画,好像又回到40年前的中国。中国统治了越南上千年,越南的很多民俗与中国一样。传统节日主要有春节、清明、端午、中秋、重阳等。现在春节快到了,路上张灯结彩,很有过年的气氛。也不乏高档商场,大牌云集。进百盛商场看看,世界各地的大牌都能在这里看到。二楼还有吃饭的地方。PHO24米粉连锁店在越南很有名气,但我不喜欢吃米粉,没尝试。走过百盛就是歌剧院,歌剧院的建筑风格是最具法属时期的建筑。([]
放点片花,先吸引一下眼球【先预览一下~】【写在开始前】 子辰打来电话的那个早上,我连牙都还没有刷,正在给阿呆做着早饭。 挂了之后也并没反应过来,脑子里只剩下几个关键词语:南美、自驾、40号公路、不要钱!又呆了几分钟后,我就只记得不要钱了。(高的家伙是小马,矮的家伙就是阿呆哈哈~) 小广告一下,我们的微信公众号往下看哈哈(最右边就是我们在沙溪的家了~) 还以为拥有充足的时间准备,因为计划的行程开始是15年的3月27,收到消息的时候连14年都还没有跨过去呢,但哪知道工作上的事情正好特别多,一直到出发前我都还没有做功课,只知道这次要去的地方应该是地球上直线距离最远的了,脑袋里一片浆糊就跟着走了,以至于下面对线路和行程的整理,完全是回来后才搞明白的......线路及自驾说明【线路及自驾说明】为什么选择40号公路?相比较美国那几条耳熟能详的自驾线路来说,阿根廷的自驾线路鲜有人知。说实话,当初接到子辰兄的电话让我做行程安排的时候,我才第一听说40号公路,在网上能查到的关于它的自驾攻略几乎没有。但它在外国旅行者中,特别是摩托骑士口中,就像朝圣之路一般,为什么呢?来看看我下面的介绍吧~ 安第斯山脉是世界上最长的山脉 ,从北到南蜿蜒七千多公里,构成了整个南美大陆的脊梁,山脉本身也是阿根挺和智利两国的天然国界线。在山的东侧,有一条全长近五千公里的公路,自阿根挺南部的火地岛向北一直到达玻利维亚边界,大多数时候与安第斯山脉平行。公路经过阿根廷的3个大区11个省份,跨过18条主要河流,13个大湖和盐湖,有桥梁236座,沿途经过20个国家公园和保护区,包括南美最高峰阿空加瓜登山大本营,并连接27个安第斯山过境山口,这就是被称为世界上最荒凉的阿根廷40号公路。 切.格瓦拉曾在23岁时,骑着他的诺顿500驶入40号公路,开始了他的旅程并写下了《骑士日记》。后来这段故事还被改编为电影。(科普完毕,我也是网上看来的~) 而这次我们是从布宜诺斯艾利斯出发,由东向西跟随7号公路然后在门多萨向南转入40号公路。整个行程我们将作为子辰兄的摄影助理同行,这也就是为什么免费的原因了。(实线是自驾线路,全程是4000多公里,虚线是飞行线路。由于没有办理智利证,所以车子无法跨越智利国土去到乌斯怀亚,只能是从埃尔卡拉法特飞到了乌斯怀亚。)(没有任何意外的话,这是我进行过最长途跋涉的一次旅行了,为了到达目的地,我们从沙溪——丽江——北京——多哈——圣保罗——布宜诺斯艾利斯,光在飞机上坐着就耗费了30多个小时,很多次不知道白天黑夜,对于目的地的兴奋感早都被消磨完了。) 算起来也是第二次在国外自驾(第一次是在土耳其沿地中海自驾,就是上一篇烂尾的游记,因为没时间实在写不下去了。。。),但是之前也说了没时间准备,所以关于租车、证件、路况等等都一无所知,好在子辰和小马在出发前做足了准备,我也得以拿来整理如下: 关于驾照:阿根廷是认可国际驾照的,但我没有~ 所以驾照就是去公证处公证一份西班牙语的翻译件即可。 关于租车:由于我们的车辆是旅行社直接提供的,所以我不知道具体的费用,不过在阿根廷安飞士和赫兹我都有看到,所以租车是完全没问的。 关于加油:阿根廷大部分的车辆是柴油动力,而柴油的价格因为地区、品质和不同的加油站的区别,价格在1到2美元不等。柴油型号也是多种多样,我们一路基本都是添加的EURO。 关于路况:现在的40号公路较以前已经改观了很多,这一路上,80%的路面都已进行了硬化,剩下的20%虽是弹石路,但也较为平整。 关于过路费:一路上只有在7号公路上遭遇过收费站,不论是高速还是国道,比国内的收费稍便宜一些。转入40号公路上没有任何收费。 其它注意事项: 1、阿根廷只要是行驶在路上的车辆,都是全天开大灯的,不过当然是近光,远光灯去死~ 2、在跨越一些省界的时候会有宪兵或者警察对车辆或行李进行检查,而有一些是要对车辆进行消毒处理的(过程不复杂~),也由一些是不能带水果过境的...... 3、路和交规和国内基本一致,除了绿灯不亮不能右转。 4、路况虽然不错,但是尽量不要开夜路,沿途野生动物太多,撞到牛啊马啊什么的一点也不稀奇。 5、不要超速,罚单很贵,因为我们被罚惨了。。。 6、上了40号公路后,看到加油站的话,就算还有半箱油也宁愿先加满,也不要问我为什么知道~ 对了,还有关于汇兑:我们是在国内换好了美金,但是在阿根廷银行里换的话只有1:8.5左右,也由攻略说在布宜诺斯艾利斯的弗罗里达大街换可以到1:12左右,但是很多人说会换到假币,并且用不完的钱拿回银行也换不回美金,综合考虑到安全和便捷的问,我们一直是找导游换的1:10,在一些店铺是可以直接使用美金购买的,1:11的样子,也可以进行兑换,不过只兑换50和100的面额。 其他的我暂时也想不起来,如果大家有什么问,我一定知无不言~(根据上面的行程看来,大家应该也明白了,我们这次的行程时间很紧,每两地之间的路程都很遥远,大部分的时间都是在车上看风景了。。。)人和物的介绍【人和物的介绍】 说了这么多,下面就介绍一下这次同行的已经是好基友的和在行程中变成了好基友的队友们~ 小马,江湖人称马哥,这个蚂蜂窝账号是她的,是的,现在不是她在写,是她分配给我在写~ 因为她是我媳妇,我也没办法。 我们被别人组了一个组合叫“猴年马月”......自从认识她后我就跟着她玩了好多地方,是的,我是她的小跟班~ 她常年在玩,这会她在楼下玩阿呆,作为资深的玩家,她不写的原因用她的话说就是她有更重要的事情要做,所以这会她应该是在谋划下一次旅行或者是正在盯着某一家航空公司的特价机票两眼冒光~ 还有就是,上一篇烂尾的土耳其自驾游记,责任在她哈哈...... 子辰,某知名网站编辑,我们只在“猴年马月”的婚礼上见过一面,第二面就直接是这次在首都机场T3了。 深度文艺中年,旅行途中带了两本书,一本丢了,另一本看了两页。 因自诩风光摄影师,而本姓李,所以偶尔我会昧着良心叫他“安塞尔.亚当李”,一般是在他买单前后~ 关于这次的旅行他也会在汽车之家的论坛里发布游记,当然我们的角度肯定是不一样的,因为他183CM,我168CM(什么都不要说~),我们看到的世界完全不同~ 而且他放言要在游记里每天写死我一次,我期待看到我的各种死法~ 为什么要写死我?因为当他自诩纪实摄影师的时候,我没有叫他“李布列松”~ 由于我就带了一个小相机,而且是35定焦不能换头的,所以以下如果有一些展示不出来的我就借用了子辰的照片,为了区分,我的加了水印。 我,名怿昀,大家都叫我猴子,这个我本来是不愿意的,不能你叫我猴子我就叫猴子啊,我也得觉得好听才行,可是因为我本姓侯,所以Duang的一下,大家都叫我猴子了。随着这些年越发无法卖萌,那些嫌我老的人也就越来越多的叫我师兄或者猴哥~ 这也就自然变成了“猴年马月”组合~ 由于兴趣爱好过于广泛,自然精通的没有几样,平时就靠着拍照和设计混混日子。每一次的旅行都是跟着马哥混,成长自然是惊人的,至少我英语以前只会Yes和No,现在已经会You can you up了~Leo,我们这次行程的地接导游1号,除了中间有事离开了两天,都是他在陪着我们,据他自己说,我们这次的行程他和EX都来过,说多了都是泪,哎~ 自幼随父母从台湾移民阿根廷,完全融入了阿根廷的生活,现在已经发展成了国际倒爷,平时除了带游客走走看看,会把国内的小商品卖到阿根廷,再把阿根廷的红酒卖到国内~ 此人拥有一身练过又反弹了的肌肉,身高堪比“安塞尔.亚当李”,至今单身,在此征婚(我保证是他让我说的~)据说叫Leo的人都很自恋,听上去好像比较偏颇,但是这位Leo再次证明了这一论点。如果楼下也有叫Leo的不要怪我嘴贱,我也是听来的而已呵呵~小白,导游2号,在Leo有事的那几天与我们同行。自高中时来阿根廷留学,至今大学虽没毕业,婚倒是结了一个,说到这,得说说他的这个媳妇,反正我是没听明白,你们来分析分析:信仰古巴一个巫术小教派、出生在一个犹太教家庭、半阿根廷半法国血统、金发、职业是护士。没听明白吧?但听上去很不错的样子~ 当然他和我们分享的最多的还是结婚之前积累的各种经验,对于这些经验我无法一一道来,但是我们都建议他写一本《阿根廷各州各信仰各民族各肤色泡妞指南》,书名虽长,但一定很实用,而且一定要先给Leo看看~漫长的准备 仓促的开始 (从沙溪到布宜诺斯艾利斯)【漫长的准备 仓促的开始(从沙溪到布宜诺斯艾利斯)】 出发前的一个月,我总算有时间瞟了一眼地图,哎呀,我要从南走到北啊~ 不对,是从北走到南,但差不多啊,北面多热,南面多冷~ 这一路走下来温差可够大了,当下眼珠子一转,拨了朋友的电话,谁让他是搞户外用品的呢~ 就这样,还没开动,朋友就给赞助了衣服鞋子,而且都是顶级的~事实证明在世界尽头的冷风中给了我们十足的温暖啊,啥户外?神州户外啊!(毫无广告痕迹)下面还有二维码~~ 具体准备证的问就不详细再说了,我们的证是通过旅行社代办的,但是资料都是自己准备好的,后面免去了面也算是方便了很多。 就这样,拖拖拉拉的准备了4个月,期间我们和子辰连面都没见,直到出发的前一天,我们三个从三个不同的地方出发,马哥从沙溪到丽江找我会合后直奔机场飞向帝都。(以免又购买易碎品放在背包里收到挤压,特意买了个行李箱,我们自己设计的关于沙溪的贴纸也总算有地方贴了~) 我们乘坐的是卡塔尔航空的班机,凌晨2点起飞,子辰一直在忙着准备这个行程的各种资料,一直到起飞前1小时他才赶到机场和我们见面,要不是我们的护照还在他手里,我们早过关逛街去了,没办法等到他后直奔值机柜台。 就这样,我们出发了,在过关后去登机口的轻轨上我问子辰:关于行程,我们聊聊?;聊啥?就是我拍照,你也拍照,别的想到的再说,飞机上还有20多个小时呢~;......([]
♥写在前面的话ϖ9;爱是一场风花雪月的追逐爱是直到天荒地老的奔跑世界太大我们很小唯愿至此启程,心手相连,踏遍天崖,走到海角……回来后,始终有一段话萦绕在我脑海中,难以飘散——沉醉巴厘岛,情迷印度洋。一花一世界,步步是天堂。大家好,自由行菜鸟先向各位前辈、各位看官鞠一躬!这是我和老公第一次手牵手走出国门!我之前只有一次自由行韩国首尔的经历,而老公简直就是这方面的小白。出行前我做了很多功课,终于给自己制造了一次完美的蜜月,完美的旅程。这篇文章,重游记、轻攻略,但若仔细阅读,一定能发现我带给大家小建议及各种tips。这篇文章,重图片、轻文字,请各位把它看做是一个感性的女子,对于一次旅游感性但真实的记录。作为一个入门级摄影爱好者,这次旅行照了好几百张图片,希望邀大家共赏!欢迎各位指导、观摩、提问……谢谢!===大片预告===蓝梦岛coconuts酒店的无边泳池巴厘岛醉美夕阳一花一世界步步是天堂 印度洋的壮阔海景难忘碧海蓝天好吧,新人携夫婿露脸,欢迎各种拍砖。(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……===大片预告部分结束,正文即将开始=== 出行前我们还真的是准备了大半年的时间啊!从完全不懂这世上还有廉价航空开始……囧~~~到慌里慌张的亚航抢票(由于慌里慌张,搞到最后还要改出行时间,于是承担了亚航高额的改费,悲勒个催!!!)踏遍了各大旅游论坛,吸取了N多前辈的成功经验和精华!甚至很多行程都是直接照搬前辈的。所以我们自认为我们的行程还是非常合理的。巴厘岛必去的区域这次我们都走到了。10天行程虽编排得满满当当,但一点都不累,松紧适度。前4天主要是跑景点,后6天悠闲轻松泡villa~~~乌布、lovina、kuta、uluwatu、蓝梦岛、nusadua~~~我们的行迹遍布了巴厘岛6大区,真是一次充实的旅行!利用网上的一张巴厘岛主要景点地图,画出了我们的路线!按照不同的彩色笔墨,再配合地图下面的文字,我们的每日行程就清晰可见啦~~~! 一说到巴厘岛,大家都会想到这是一个浪漫的地方。适合恋人牵手旅行,适合新婚夫妇共享蜜月……网上总是流传这一个说法——巴厘岛是一流的酒店、二流的海滩、三流的景点。1、对于海滩,我觉得巴厘岛确实不算很灵(蓝梦岛的dream beach除外,嘿嘿)2、至于景点,在我个人的理解下是有争议的,巴厘岛有很多人文的、历史的东西,需要沉下心来慢慢品味,虽然相比我国的历史景观相对渺小,但却有着独特的浓郁的巴厘味道!3、说到酒店!巴厘岛就确实很赞啦!我们全程住了6个酒店,有300多元一晚的经济型酒店,也有好几千两晚的私人villa,都相当的舒服!而且若不是蜜月,真的很推荐大家在巴厘岛多发掘几百块一晚的酒店呢,性价比超级高,而且一点不逊于那些奢华酒店!那么就从订酒店开始吧。我们全程一共选择的6个酒店,有冷门的,也有极其热门的。事后发现,其实真的冷门的更好。嘻嘻。因为事前没在别人的攻略或游记中看过图片,到了实地以后会有更多惊喜!首先说一下入住酒店的总体情况:9月4日-6日,乌布pertiwi 酒店deLUXE room 2晚9月6日,lovina nuguraha酒店1晚9月7日,kuta oASIs酒店1晚9月8日-10日,kuta villa de daun 叶子别墅2晚 (蜜月套餐) 9月10日,蓝梦岛coconuts酒店1晚9月11日-13日,nusadua kayumanis 肉桂别墅2晚 (蜜月套餐)出行前比较了最著名的两个订房网站booking和agoda!也学习到了一些。booking是预定后不需要付款,到了酒店后再用当地货币现场支付。agoda是预定后即扣款,现在不是只有信用卡的结算方式了,用支付宝结算更划算。两个网站的特价房都是预定后不能取消。价格嘛,反正我查过的房价加上税和服务费后都是booking稍便宜,但我不敢说一定!但是对于我们来说有一个问。因为是蜜月,所以在叶子别墅和肉桂别墅的那两晚,我们都想预订蜜月套餐(就是包含烛光晚餐啊、spa啊、铺满花瓣的私人泳池啊这一类“肉麻”的蜜月项目,我研究了半天,发现两个订房网站都不包含这些项目)所以我们最终还是选择了旅游代理为我们订房,房价会比订房网站更便宜,还能拿到很多benefit !我选择的中文代理是vivian。vivian家都可以通过QQ在线即时联系,也可以电话中文联系,非常方便。有需要代理联系方式的童鞋,可以跟帖回复索要哈~~~ 关于证我们此行是从成都出发,经吉隆坡转机抵达巴厘岛。亚航。成都-吉隆坡。因为要到马来西亚转机,所以涉及到马来西亚证,出行前做了大量攻略+自己亲身体验=120小时的免费过境意思就是:只要你从马来入境算起,120小时内会离开马来境内前往第三国,就只需到了机场后免费的过境即可吉隆坡-巴厘岛。巴厘岛是落地。所以只需准备:1、有效期在6个月内的护照2、回程机票3、在巴厘岛登帕萨机场购买25美金的落地费,获得单据即可这个部分,在接下来的游记中,会有详细图解!!!旅行装备1、出境游保险 国外和我国不一样,对本国居民几乎是医疗免费、义务医疗,但若游客在那里有个小病小灾的,或许都要支付高额医疗费。 所以出境游保险最好还是备一份。 具体的保险种类,这个确实太多了,未避免广告嫌疑,大家选择适合自己的就好。2、转换插头+接线板 按照别人的攻略,出行前我们就准备好转换插头+接线板。就单看我们的行程,涉及到的两个国家马来西亚和印尼就使用不同的插座插头,所以转换头必不可少,现在电子设备又多,再带个适合自己的接线板,就不怕充电烦恼啦。3、防晒霜+晒后修复 左边第一瓶粉色的是网络大热——水宝宝!我买的是无油无泪配方,我觉得真的不油呢!(我可是大油田哦!)朋友6月去柬埔寨用的水宝宝一小管的那种,她说那种很油!大家各自斟酌吧。 中间绿色的是香蕉船晒后修复,是芦荟精华来的。真心好用!在巴厘岛期间我和LG争相涂抹~~~被强烈阳光晒后皮肤先会起小颗粒,然后痒痒的,这时就赶紧抹这个,不要让皮肤发展到变红甚至脱皮的状态。总之这次出行,我们只是晒黑,真的完全没有晒伤! 最后金黄色那个就是大名鼎鼎的安耐晒金瓶!小贵!但是上脸的东西总想用精细一点!日系产品真的是无油,涂上去很清爽,我大油田肌,涂了这个还能再抹BB霜呢! 4、防晒衫 以前真心不了解这个用途,只觉得淘宝上一抓一大把,20-30块钱一件。直到出发前我一个闺蜜告诉我一定要买它,闺蜜刚从韩国留学回来,在韩国期间经常去海边浴场,她说人家都穿这个直接下海,她也穿,皮肤一样会被晒黑,但是不会晒伤! 一听到不会晒伤!我肯定就买了!于是为了拍照需要,我一次买了4件:玫红、荧光黄、橘色、白色。 这衣服的确强大!浮潜时直接穿着它下海,没有晒伤,和我们一起去的老外都晒得通红!上岸后一接触阳光没一会儿就干了!大爱!后来几天,我老公连T恤都不穿了,直接沙滩短裤配防晒衣,又潮又舒适又防晒! 5、水下相机 最后一件就是水下相机啦。我是在TB上租了一台。第一次使用,第一次浮潜,体会到了海底世界的美妙哦!嘻嘻! 带着水下相机出行海岛真的是乐趣多多。 泳池里可以照,浮潜时可以照。懒得拿单反时还能救个急!超多照片接下里的游记中一一奉上! 9月3日晚2130左右,我和LG抵达双流国际机场1号航站楼(现在1号只有川航和国际航线了),人还是蛮多的。因为出发前一周我才去了首尔,深深认识到成都人民对于出国旅游的热情,所以我们特意提前了很多到机场。 由于一周前才从这里出境,所以比较轻车熟路,拿着网上打印好的亚航登机牌,去柜台托运了行李后带着LG第一个冲到出关的地方。 由于我护照上有韩国证,所所以成都边检那个GG看了啥都没说就放行了,LG是白本出境,照例被拦下来多问了几个问。 我们的经验是:成都护照白本出境前往落地国家是完全没有问的哈,只需要提供你前往国家的机票就可以了,边检甚至没要求我们出示返程机票(我们准备了)和酒店订单。童鞋们放心出境吧。 9月3日2350,亚航红飞机准时起飞,9月4日4:30,准时降落吉隆坡LCCT廉价机场,一下飞机,顿时感觉真的是——廉价机场啊!一周前才去过韩国仁川机场,这差别确实太大了,LG说这个机场好像个工厂哦。不过廉价嘛,人家亚航的营销手段是很高明的。 下了飞机后就跟着大部队走,进了机场大厅直接上自动扶梯。上了二楼后,有马来证的朋友直接右转,一长排出境的柜台直接去出境就可以了。办理过境的朋友就看下图哈!!!!上了航站楼二楼后直走看左边,1分钟内就能看到!直接把护照和下一程机票递给过境窗口就是了,然后等着喊名字! 喊到名字的童鞋,拿回护照和机票什么的,转身往后走,后面是一排出口,从最左侧的出口出,把护照再给官员检查一下就可以出去了。(这段话有点儿绕,主要是当时忘了拍照,但仔细读读一定能体会的) 但这里有个问哈。第一次9月4日到达时是凌晨,就没有人要求我们填写马来西亚入境卡,但出境准备前往巴厘岛时,海关貌似问了我们为什么没有入境卡的存根,但当时我还没习惯马来英语确实听不懂,连问了几个“what”,他也无奈就放行了。 第二次9月13日是晚上抵达的,办理过境时就让我们填了入境卡的,然后把存根给了我们,第二天出境回成都时边检就收了我们的存根哈。看到有攻略说是在飞机上就要发放的,如果有朋友去的话,可以在飞机上就问问空姐、空少(有会中文的),该填的东西还是要填好,避免不必要的麻烦哈! 可以确定的是,去和回都没要求我们按指纹。 比较了吉隆坡LCCT机场和巴厘岛登帕萨机场。 LCCT的工作人员明显有素质的多!东南亚人民确实看起来就不那么“面善”有点凶的感觉,但是LCCT的工作人员你真的可以放心大胆地问他问,会热心给你指点的,不会像巴厘岛登帕萨机场,那些工作人员一副没见过钱的样子,总是找中国人索要小费,强烈BS!!! 走出机场后,看见的第一个店家就是网络大热的“OLDTOWN WHITE COFFE”(老街场白咖啡),因为要等几个小时才会继续飞,所以我们也选择在这里落脚,点了一份鹅肉粉,一份咖喱粉,一杯冰咖啡,一杯冰红茶,共计人民币70元的样子吧,在机场这个消费还是可以的,就是味道……我LG说我出了川系菜品其他的都吃不惯,所以走到东南亚我觉得就没有好吃的东西……咖喱味受不了的受不了啊 9月4日9时许,继续登机前往巴厘岛。 这是我们乘坐的红飞机!廉价机场,都是自己走着去登机的,哈哈! 9月4日1210分,飞机提前降落巴厘岛,本来还窃喜提前了,结果在跑道上滑都滑行了20分钟,真是1230准点到达啊!!!超佩服亚航的有木有。 一下飞机我又兴奋了!建在海边的机场耶!好美! 可惜单反没电了,我恨!于是水下相机+手机一阵乱拍!巴厘岛是落地!到了登帕萨机场后要做的第一件事就是跟着大部队去办理落地! 做了一个图,这样子一目了然了! 购买落地最好用美元现金,去中国银行可以换到!为什么说最好不要涉及刷卡、找钱等问呢!因为登帕萨机场的印尼工作人员就跟几辈子没见过钱一样,一看到自由行的中国人出现,就会想到小费!!!关于机场海关索要小费的问! 今年6月我朋友去柬埔寨时也碰到海关索要小费,她直接装听不懂,僵持了一下,放行了。但据说巴厘岛这边已经很嚣张了,直接用中文给你说“人民币”!如果在登帕萨机场被海关索要小费,先装听不懂,实在不行就给他,然后记住他的工牌,出来后和接机的工作人员碰头后,由他们的工作人员带着你去投诉!一定要投诉到底的! 如果大多数人英文都没好到可以直接和他理论的地部,所以先服软再投诉应该是个不错的方法!总之不要因为这些事影响旅行心情吧,毕竟也不是针对你一个中国人,是对大多数中国人都这样!哎,强烈呼唤国富力强啊!!!关于机场照相的问! 额!这个问!在登帕萨机场,能不照相还是别照了吧。如果被登帕萨机场的工作人员发现你照相,而你又确实照到了一些关键的示、建筑或者工作人员,那就会被罚款。走到别人的地界,英文又不是特别好,还真是纠结不清啊,于是所谓“罚款”、“小费”的傻傻分不清,也就只能“乖乖”认栽!曾经看到有人说过,登帕萨机场有专门抓人照相的人,会记录下来,过关时找你麻烦,所以大家,小心谨慎为妙!关于护照上落地盖章的问! 出了机场就看见我们订的接机工作人员,他把我们在巴厘岛10天的所有订单都交给了我们。然后他赶紧让我拿护照本给他看,开始还不懂什么事,原来是登帕萨海关经常故意少给你盖章,等你出境的时候就会出问,然后又是一大堆麻烦事,大家都懂了吧?!真是强烈BS!!护照本和出境卡存根上会分别盖章!大家一定要检查清楚。关于巴厘岛出境的问! 一定要妥善保管自己的出境卡存根,出境时要交给海关的。我们出境时就看见有老外弄掉了存根,然后就开始和海关漫长的纠结…… 还有一定要准备好每人150000印尼盾的现金,是出境费用,一定要是印尼盾现金!不然到时候在机场换汇汇率很糟糕! 出机场后,我们就看到了接机的老陈,和我们的司机gede~~~很幸运的是,未来几天的包车行程中我们都不需要更换司机,会一直由gede为我们服务!!!在几天的游览中,我们也和他建立了不错的感情,大家相处非常愉快! 9月4日下午1630,司机gede大叔带我们来到了乌布。 刚去了首尔自由行回来,初到巴厘岛,我承认我确实被shock到了!街道破旧而狭小,交通一片混乱,满街乱窜的摩托车,这是传说中的天堂吗?! 不过各国国情不同,很快也就适应了! 我们入住的第一个酒店在乌布,名叫pertiwi resort & spa。是一家鲜有人提及的酒店。但是入住后我们感觉真的非常好!就像置身在一个热带雨林花园中,每一步都是景色,光是光酒店都能走上好一阵!一到这里,LG就说,度假的感觉来啦! 由于我们到的晚~~~享受到了第一个福利,upgrade!房型被升级了。后来才发现,房间升级一般都是你订的房型已经被住完了,所以想升级的话,晚到酒店才大有希望哦!而且到了酒店后,不妨向前台多问一句是否可以升级,说不定会有意外惊喜!这就是peitiwi酒店的门牌。 小小的非常低调。 在巴厘,即时是超级奢华的酒店,门牌、大门什么的也都很小巧、低调~~~这是酒店的大厅。 呵呵,真心低调的有木有,但很有巴厘岛的味道!巴厘岛的各种石雕都让人爱到不行 爱死了这样的配色,非常有巴厘岛的感觉! 我们是9月4日-13日待在巴厘岛的,好像刚好遇到了学生开学后的一个小淡季,整个行程中住了6个酒店,都没有什么人,除了热门景点海神庙和百度库遇到了大批游客,其余时间大多都是我们两个自己玩。全程10天也只碰到3对中国夫妇(情侣)。这种自由行的感觉,真的很棒!就拿我们入住的第一个酒店pertiwi来说,入住的那两天,整个酒店就我们两个中国人,连亚洲面孔都没有碰到。酒店本身就像一个花园一样……如果有时间,一定要两个人坐在这里静谧地享受时光老公到了这样的环境中,一下子就放松下来,像个孩子,玩得非常开心!!!当然,在热带雨林中,我也很开心哟学一学这个石雕的动作!!! 下午1600,ratu spa的接送车准时来酒店大堂接我们。 ratu spa在乌布很有名,"ratu"在印尼语中是“女王”的意思,做这样的spa是指女王般的享受吗?ratu spa建在稻田边,房间窗外就能看到稻田,别有一番风味。 PS:ratu spa是出发前就在代理那里定好了,代理已经帮我们预订了接送的时间。所以它会直接在酒店等我们。到了做spa那里,自己只需要选择一下精油就可以了。房间内部结构,古香古色的巴里岛风情。选精油的瓶子很可爱!spa结束后还可以在右上那幅图中的三角浴缸里泡花瓣浴+品尝姜茶! 9月4日晚1900左右,做完ratu spa后,我们在wayan咖啡馆享用了到达巴厘岛的第一顿晚餐。 按照攻略点了一份印尼综合饭,店家推荐了一份沙爹鸡肉串饭,两杯西瓜汁和一份网络大热的死神蛋糕(death cake with chocolate)。合计人民币120元。由于还是处于单反无电状态,所以只有用手机拍拍食物,没办法拍出用餐环境。这个餐厅很有乌布味道,小桥流水、植物茂密,各种凉亭设置在花草树木间,静谧和谐。 巴厘岛的所有果汁都是鲜榨的。你点完后甚至会听到榨果汁的声音,让你感觉特别原汁原味。我们去巴厘的时期已经错过了当地水果最好的时节(5月-8月),所以酷爱水果的我俩没能一饱口福,可选择面非常少,芒果已经下市了,基本只能选择西瓜、橙汁、柠檬汁、百香果、混合果汁……所以在巴厘的10天里,西瓜汁成为我俩的大爱!(无论是餐厅还是小店,果汁都是折合人民币15-20元左右一杯)餐桌上很巴厘岛风味的小摆件~~~印尼综合炒饭旁边的配菜很丰盛 味道也还不错哦沙爹肉串饭~~~ 这种沙爹肉串是我在巴厘岛期间相对来说比较喜欢的食物,有点烧烤味,偏甜 但这份饭性价比不如综合炒饭高呢,综合烧饭的配菜丰富很多([]

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.

前言:2013年11月1日38天的川藏之旅终于结束...当旅程结束的时候我收拾行囊独自行走谁会在远方等着我依然是那些山那些事那些人用一转身离开,用一辈子去忘记但有一种心情,永远在路上…人在旅途,总会有许多的话想对自己说,总觉得人活在世上,必定要经历很多,承受很多,对于人生经历,不是沧桑,是沉淀。承受,不是苦难,是历练。。。人在旅途,总会有许多错过,身不由己,总有许多遇见,念念不忘。一些梦想,可能会换来一身的疲惫;一抹牵挂,让它淡然随絮,未必不是一种思恋。。。当我拿起相机拍下那一幅幅的精美的画面时,也记录下了那一刻的心境那一刻的豪情!在路上,感悟旅途,感悟生命,品味一种属于自己的人生。。。旅行的过程其实就是一段人生的浓缩,人生其实就是一段漫长的旅行....序:一直一来就有一个梦,梦想自己在有激情有能力有想法的岁月里尽走进藏的7条路线,尽赏川藏大美的山山水水,梦似乎也还在延续和实践中,不知不觉在这几年中已走了新藏线,青藏线,317,318,滇藏线,丙察察线。。。川西洛克线也在我明年的计划中,不料一则消息改变了我原有的计划和预想,于是就有了本次意外的大美行程。。。今年6月的新疆阿勒泰空中花园归来后就着手准备10月去南疆赏拍胡杨的行程,无意中在网上看到2013年9月16日稻城亚丁机场就将开通的报道,顿时恍惚起来,眼前已仿佛看到我那心中的三神山人头传动,满地垃圾的幻象。。。无法再想像!霎那间就暂时去除了10月去新疆的想法,三神山已在我眼前逐渐清晰真实起来,不能再等到明年了!电话朋友公子后开始着手本次行程。。。由于本次行程时间较长,跨度较大,本行程将分做三个部分呈现第一部分:川西徒步穿越洛克线,寻找失去的香巴拉更新一:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-15-1.html更新二:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-25-1.html更新三:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-38-1.html更新四:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-43-1.html更新五:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-54-1.html更新六:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-59-1.html更新七:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-63-1.html第二部分:我在金秋的318,朝叩神山南迦巴瓦更新一:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-70-1.html更新二https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2022294-79-1.html第三部分:魂系山南,追寻自己的前世今生大美行程掠影:木里长海子徒步穿越洛克线三神山: 徒步穿越洛克线:蛇湖乱石飞云牛背山牛背山木格措之秋南迦巴瓦:南迦巴瓦:巴郎雪山四姑娘山双桥沟八美塔公路上风光塔公新都桥姐妹措东达山上米堆秋意米林路上拉姆拉错山南-藏王庙山南-雍布拉康山南-桑耶寺雅鲁藏布江敏竹林寺山南-加查路上的风景羊卓雍错的雪拉萨随拍 第一部分:川西徒步穿越洛克线,寻找失去的香巴拉“在整个世界里,有什么地方还能有如此的景色等待着摄影者和探险者。。。”——约瑟夫.洛克1928.8《香巴拉,世外桃源之地》这是洛克于1928.8月穿越木里-亚丁-贡嘎岭之后写下的激动开篇,他的此次探险之旅也为后来者造就了一条神秘艰辛,景致绝美的世界级穿越徒步线路,并在此后的许多年间引领着无数的探险者去追寻那最后的那一片净土,最后的香格里拉。。。背景简介:稻城亚丁位于四川甘孜藏族自治州南部,地处著名的青藏高原东部,横断山脉中段,东南与凉山州木里县接壤,西邻乡城县并与云南省中甸县毗邻,北连理塘县,面积7323平方公里。其海拔为3750米。亚丁藏语意为“向阳之地”,又名念青贡嘎日松贡布,即“圣地”之意。方圆千余平方公里,主体部分是三座完全隔开,但相距不远,呈“品”字形排列的雪峰。北峰仙乃日6032米,南峰央迈勇5958米,东峰夏诺多吉5958米。这三座雪山佛名三怙主雪山,在世界佛教二十四圣地中排名第十一位,“属众生供奉朝神积德之圣地”。 三神山——仙乃日意为“观世音菩萨”、央迈勇意为“文殊菩萨”夏诺多吉意为“金刚手菩萨”,是守护亚丁藏民的守护神山,被评为中国最美十大名山之一2013.10月我们的川西木里洛克线徒步穿越计划行程:D19月28日成都集合宿18:49成都——次日0502西昌N854/N855,历时10小时30分交通:火车宿:火车备选:火车T8865特快,21:08成都——次日07:06西昌,历时9小时58分D29月29日 700/720/740/820西昌——5:00/6:00木里(海拨3100米)交通:汽车住宿:木里D39月30日 7:00木里(海拨3100米)——水洛乡嘟噜村(海拨2700米)213公里交通;汽车住宿:嘟噜村老书记家 D410月1日 8:00嘟噜村——满措牛场(4000M)徒步第1天交通:徒步7小时住宿:露营 D510月2日 8:00满措(4000M)—4-5小时—-藏别(4200M呷日牛场)---2-3小时-万花池牛场全天共6-7小时徒步第2天交通:徒步7小时住宿:露营(呷日牛场或万花池牛场) D610月3日万花池牛场 ——曲纽阿措姆(新果牛场)(4200M)8H 徒步第3天交通:徒步8小时住宿:露营D710月4日曲纽阿措姆(新果牛场)(4200M)—上帝的后花园—呷独牛场(4400M)8H徒步第4天交通:徒步8小时住宿:露营 D810月5日呷独牛场(4400M)——洛绒牛场(4200M)——冲古寺——亚丁村 8小时 徒步第5天交通:徒步8小时住宿:隆龙坝 D910月6日冲古寺—0.5H-珍珠海—4H-卡斯牛棚—4H地狱谷—卡斯村—车行3H-稻城 下坡8小时 徒步第6天交通:徒步住宿:稻城 D1010月7日稻城——康定稻城——20KM桑堆——130KM理塘——146KM雅江——70KM新都桥——45KM折多山垭口——30KM康定交通:汽车住宿:康定D1110月8日康定——成都(各回各家)交通:汽车+飞机康定——70KM泸定——40KM二郎山隧道——110KM雅安——成都机场PS:实际行程略有出入,卡斯地狱谷未走,其他基本按行程饯行本次徒步穿越实际行程图(原创者驴友009):川西地区交通示意图:稻城亚丁景区示意图: 2013.9.26本次木里亚丁穿越之旅总共10人,按照事先的计划,我和朋友公子还有队友巫师,秀秀先行到达成都,提前一天到木里打前站,采购物资,做全队的出发前准备工作9.26号下午3点半,在飞机晚点一个多小时后在成都双流机场终于和公子汇合,住于成都48号青旅,晚上和成都的驴友腐败,第二天也是在和成都我的另外一个户外群的朋友们腐败中先后汇合了队友巫师和秀秀,晚上按照计划火车赶往西昌,次日凌晨5点多到达西昌站西昌-木里只有长途汽车,经过9个多小时的颠簸后我们终于到达木里,一个山中的小城,比预想中的繁华些,入住木里大酒店,价格100元每间,条件还不错第二天也就是9.28号,上午去了木里一个尚未开发的高山草甸长海子游玩,景致非常美!下午采购物资,四点左右剩余6人赶到,大部队终于会师。29号清晨坐着史上最牛叉的带着机械增压装置的小中巴驶向本次穿越的出发地-木里县水洛乡嘟噜村老书记家。。。10个多小时的折腾后我们终于颠到了水洛乡,一个只有一条100米长泥巴路的乡镇,然后在渐渐黑去的夜里转乘五星级座驾还是敞篷的-------拖拉机再哒哒的颠簸一个半小时后到了嘟噜村老书记家天黑透,人已疲,肚已饿。。。住的都被另外一群后来和偶们一直相伴的驴队占了,偶们匆匆吃过就露营于书记家的大厅地板上,相比后面的日子除了吵点点也还不错,嘿嘿PS由于手机的极度烂用,直接导致了从成都-西昌-木里-水洛乡沿途的相片记忆短路和缺失,这个是坚决要吐槽和检讨的,都是这个该死的微信微博惹得祸。。。还好到了木里长海这个美致的地方终于还记得偶有个单反机器,耶!宁静而致远。。。相伴。。。长海子。。
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,我们只去了前面四地。 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,比较了带去的其他产品,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,我们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。我们买的M PHONE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支我们买的是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,我们买的是一小包大约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,我们被直接招呼“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!然后当我们大声纠正“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,我们还是会继续纠正“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我们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,我们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,与我们同车的帅哥就遭遇了惨烈的意外!我们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,不过我们那趟车还是一排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) ` ` ` ([]
