离开六库,来到中缅边境小城------瑞丽。好奇的找了个小旅行社,只180元报名参加了缅甸一日游。南坎、木姐两城一日游:游金皇宫,木姐市场、金鹿寺、民族花园、中心大佛寺、芒坎寺院.....缅甸旅游也是每个到瑞丽旅游者的心愿。到当地的旅行社打听,说现在因为那边打仗和借旅游之机贩卖毒品的太多,瑞丽边境不再办理到缅甸旅游的手续了,但是可以偷渡过去,偷渡!在距离国门不远的地方,导游让我们下车,再换车,过了污水沟和一块空地,又进了一个围墙的铁门。然后上了跳条船,几分钟后到了对岸。导游才说,我们已到了缅甸。我说怎么没经过海关,也没有经过检查?导游笑笑没说话。我一看我们来到一停车场,里面全是缅甸牌照的卡车。陆陆续续又来了几个人,在那里又等了好大一会,来了一辆能坐四五个人的小车,把我们“运”到一个挂缅甸国旗的大金殿院子里。这时我们才明白,我们是“偷渡国境”来到了缅甸。在金殿一路之隔,肃立着“中华人民共和国瑞丽口岸”的大门头。原来,神奇的偷渡如此简单。摄影器材:尼康D80+18mm定焦镜头(首次尝试全程使用定焦镜头,折合为27mm),当然也是迫不得已的选择,在澡塘会镜头用坏了,变焦环失效,只好当定焦用。纪实摄影:一天之内拍了五百多张照片,显然是粗制滥造,喜欢真实的影像记录,好玩而已。欢迎加入“心灵的家园QQ群187964471”终于对上了接头暗号!又来了一船偷渡客大家抓紧时间匆匆上岸接应的车辆久久未到,寒冷的凌晨中大家燃起一堆篝火取暖.......... 无聊之中拍了几张招贴画,是啥意思也不懂....... 木姐不是人,是个地名,它地处云南瑞丽八十一号国门缅甸一侧。木姐系缅甸语地名,即“繁华热闹的城镇”之意。它是缅甸掸邦西北部的一个边境镇区(相当于县),而且是缅甸的国家级口岸。 木姐位居瑞丽江南岸,依山靠水,风景秀丽,气候宜人。1300年,掸王赛纪在那散(今木姐机场)建了两座桥,并辟为集市。1900年,木姐仅有200多户,1000多人口;1968年发展为1000多户,5000余人;1991年增至2500余户,17000余人。今天木姐已有贺孟、岗南、市场、南街、北街和基督教街6条主要街道,商贾去集,车水马龙,生机勃勃,欣欣向荣,已发展成为一个“繁华热闹的城镇”。随着中国投资200亿修建的从缅甸西部口岸皎漂经木姐到瑞丽的铁路竣工,木姐将迎来更大的发展。 这是偷渡游的第一站。 木姐金鹿寺原先藏有的珍贵文物明永乐二十一年(1423年)永乐皇帝下敕谕一道,赐铜印一枚,蟒袍一套,象牙碗六对,珊瑚树两株,金佛四尊。明嘉靖三十七年(1558年)曾遭哈砸部劫掠。 于清康熙二十六年(1687年)由互助佑宁寺僧人根登罗哲搬到现址重新修建了这座寺院,清康熙三十年(1691年)建成显宗学院(讲经院),从而形成一座乐都地区藏传佛教格鲁派寺院。清廷赐名“福祥寺”,康熙皇帝赐“福寿”斗字金匾一桢。同治年间陕甘总督左宗堂资助修缮,并“护国渡世”匾额一桢。 缅甸是一个崇尚佛教的国家,所到之处庙宇比比皆是,佛身金碧辉煌,金顶直入云端,金鹿寺便是中缅边界的一大著名景观。拉人拍照的小女孩心怀鬼胎的缅甸秋导秋导在寺庙也准备推销缅币见到一本小学课本 合影一次收五元呢也不知道那盘子是如何固定到头上的往佛像头上浇水------挺奇怪的做法([]

Babe Beach极小极小,我估算沙滩长度最多20米,但是很美。不过吃个午饭,也要付个门票钱才能上岛,有点小郁闷。我们的大船,从科隆颇有声望的SEA DIVE RESORT租来的,可以坐12人哦~ 但是只有我们2人坐着它进行私家线路游~ Kim大叔开船技术很棒,而且做饭很好吃。螃蟹船在海水奔走时候,总是不敢坐在船头拍照,拍一晃悠掉下海去喂鲨鱼,于是现在趁着大船停靠岸边,爬上船头拍一张合影,哈哈。3,科隆(Coron)- Twin Lagoon,门票100P每人。这个双子泻湖,非常特殊,它的美,只有在俯视图才能见到。由于需要从景区入口处潜水,再爬过一个石壁,才能进入景点内部,所以,无法带单反进入。里面景色只好卖个官司保密喽,哈哈~景区入口处,有渔民的孩子,非常热情地和我们打招呼,并且表示愿意表演高难度跳水给我们看,但是希望我们拍照记录,很可爱~4,科隆(Coron)- Smith Beach,门票100P每人。这里也是个小海滩,但是比Babe Beach美很多,同样都是花费100P,显然来这个更值。还有,这里是极佳的欣赏日落的小岛哦。 在这里,最令我兴奋的,是我捡到2枚超级个性的大海星,抱着它们爱不释手~身后那艘超小螃蟹船,很可爱,哈哈~给大海星们,来一个特写~这个小海滩,仔细看,能发掘出很多景中景,这片波光粼粼的浅滩,就是其一。最后再来个坐在小海滩的合影吧~5,科隆(Coron),Malcapuya Island, 门票200P每人,环境保护费50P每人。玛卡布亚岛,距离科隆镇2小时船程(单程),螃蟹船停靠岸边后,我们没有任何感觉,反而觉得这片大山,2个人也要交500P很不解,后来船东解释说,停靠的是岛的背面,不是我们要看的景色所在,我们需要翻过一道小山丘,才会看见真正的美丽海滩。于是,翻过那个小山丘后,我简直惊呆了,这里的景色让我颠覆了自己以前对海的认知,美得一塌糊涂~ 先来张和Malcapuya岛的岛合影~ 在这里,整片海滩有时候,只属于你一个人,可以放肆的海滨天堂岛上迷人景色~远处登高眺望~蓝天,白云,大海,结合在一起的美好图画~椰子树倒影落在沙滩上~虽然烈日快把我烤化了,还是不能放弃和这么美的大海合影的念头~玩儿水,哈哈~还是泡水里凉快我和兔兔,在这片美丽的沙滩上留下了我们的脚印,EO是我们英文名字的缩写~此行带的唯一的一件BIKINI,赶上这么美的一片海滩,难得~这个大树是怎么变成这样的呢?很像一只大蜥蜴的骨架岛主很好心的给我简单介绍了这个岛,他在这里居住超过14年了,并且给我摘了一个他种植的腰果做礼物,哈哈,第一次知道,腰果长这个样子。([]
喝卡布其诺是幸福的,在零乱肮脏的小店吃一碗面条也是幸福的;去米兰是幸福的,穿越嘎玛沟被蚂蟥吸点血也是幸福的;...珠峰下晒太阳是幸福的,帐篷里梦呓到十二点同样是幸福的。它存在着,就无所谓形式与结果。这就是信仰! 最近一年,穿越珠峰东坡的环线很火爆。多数队伍都选择从优帕村徒步过晓乌措、晓乌拉路线,很少有从伦珠林村翻越朗玛拉倒穿的队伍。大多数嘎玛沟穿越团队,选择的是翻越桑穷拉、措拉垭口的路线。这次,从嘎玛沟源头一直到陈塘,包括上游全程的完整路线,算是目前为止最完整的嘎玛沟攻略。对于幸福,每个人的理解都不一样,一个人在不同人生阶段也不一样。那么信仰呢?有总比没有好,可想始终恪守虔诚,除了狂热,更需要的是偏执...主:群驴乱舞时间:2012年5月地点:珠峰东坡傲嘎营地人物:后面再一个个单独介绍 [实际行程时间安排]D0,拉萨集合, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-5-1.html 住陆青年旅社。 D1,拉萨—定日县(白坝), https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-6-1.html 包车到白坝,13座依维柯3000元,下午到达白坝,入住雪域E族饭店。 D2,白坝—扎西宗—曲当乡—伦珠林, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-11-1.html 包车经扎西宗乡到达曲当乡,提前经乡领导联系好的牦牛已经到达伦珠林,我们住在曲当珠峰旅馆,边防登记。 D3,伦珠林—拉则营地, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-14-1.html 一早搭货车10余公里到达伦珠林村,和牦牛汇合整装出发,沿着小溪、河谷右侧上行,当天扎营在拉则营地。 D4,拉则营地—朗玛拉—措学仁玛营地—邦布其营地, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-16-1.html 上午1000出发,翻越海拔5360米朗玛拉,经过措学仁玛,湖水结冰,没能看到雪山倒影。 大约1600过措学仁玛营地,1700在邦布其牧场扎营。 D5,邦布其营地—汤湘观景台—俄嘎—巴当—傲嘎, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-21-1.html 早餐后出发,在山坡小道上蜿蜒前行,从汤湘观景台下到沟底俄嘎草地,到达巴当草地后一部分人留在了巴当营地, 一部分继续前往傲嘎营地,牦牛把我们一部分人送到傲嘎后返回巴当营地。 D6,傲嘎—白当—BC—白当—傲嘎—巴当, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-24-1.html 早起,700起床看到日照金山,整理好早出发进入卓穷河谷,经过白当营地,中午到达珠峰东坡BC,下午返回巴当。 牦牛今天又把我们的装备驮回巴当营地,与另一队汇合。 D7,巴当—汤湘—夏浓—措朗湖—卓湘, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-33-1.html 700起床,1100出发,经过汤湘爬升,山腰穿行,经过夏浓牧场到达风景如画的措朗湖营地,下午下到兰花谷在小溪水边扎营。 D8,卓湘—沙基塘, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-41-1.html 很少有人走过这段路线,1000出发,从卓湘牧场三岔路口往南是新路线,向北经兰花谷去晓乌拉为传统线路, 沿河而下,首先经过马卡鲁东坡河谷,过河谷可以去马卡鲁东坡BC。继续行进经过一个小木屋,傍晚到达沙基塘。 D9,沙基塘—晓乌米(嘎玛沟河边营地), https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-47-1.html 上午1100正式出发,中间经过几个木板桥,路过一些废弃石块建筑及潺潺溪流。 这一天,穿越原始森林,晚上在嘎玛沟河边一沙滩地上扎营。途中偶有蚂蟥出现,营地蚂蟥成灾。 D10,嘎玛沟河边营地—陈塘, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-53-1.html 这一天路线较长,早上700起床,1000出发,过夹牛沟,最后看到梯田的时快到陈塘了,再需爬一个大坡后才能进入山腰上的陈塘。 D11,陈塘—藏嘎村—那当村—定结县, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-60-1.html 班车到定结县,去年路修通到那当村,今年路已修到藏嘎村。 D12,定结县—日喀则—拉萨, https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1256837-75-1.html 定结县早上9点前去日喀则的班车,下午到日喀则后换乘去拉萨的班车,傍晚到达拉萨。登场人物, ----兔子,美女哦! 登场人物, ----没钱不帅,我们的二师兄,帅哥哦! 登场人物, ----易水寒登场人物, ----边界,我自己~~ 登场人物, ----飞鸟、劳拉、风萧萧,风萧萧兮易水寒~~搭档!登场人物, ----劳拉,只是一个传说!寂寞美女~ 登场人物, ----小鱼,帅气吧~登场人物, ----六折,带头大哥~ 登场人物, ----不帅,近照,我们的收队,尽职尽责~ 登场人物, ----飞鸟,化石专家!嘿嘿~ 登场人物, ----砍 刀,美食专家~~ 登场人物, ----腾云,又一美女~登场人物, ----骨气,赶牛哥~ 登场人物, ----风萧萧,体能哥~曾穿拖鞋从背崩走到墨脱 这里是喜马拉雅腹地,有3座海拔8000米以上的雪山,有10多个高山海子。在这片美丽神奇的土地上镶嵌着一片绿色的宝石,就是960万平方公里国土上的最后一片陆地孤岛——陈塘镇,陈塘峡谷区地处喜马拉雅山主脊南翼,是印度洋暖湿气流北上高原的重要通道,有3条河流朋曲、那当河、嘎玛藏布在此汇集后进入尼泊尔境内。那当河、嘎玛藏布为朋曲的两条支流。该流域地势差异大,有天然牧场和农田,牧有牦牛、犏牛及藏系绵羊,种有青稞、荞麦、鸡爪谷等农作物。陈塘与世隔绝,没有任何的外界侵扰,在宋代随着西夏王国覆灭而逃亡的党项王朝后裔在这里找到一个绝佳的安身之地,并用自已太阳般的热情与活力与其它民族融合,形成了神秘的独特的民族--夏尔巴人。他们利用惟一的交通工具牦牛,用自己坚韧的双手和嘹亮的歌喉在这里顽强的生存着,并创造着夏尔巴奇迹!也是这次徒步的最大诱惑!全体队员合影--从左至右后排:砍 刀、没钱不帅、劳拉、六折、风萧萧、临渊羡鱼、飞鸟、边界 前排:兔子、骨气、易水寒、腾云, 日照金山~继续更新... 决战雪山之巅 --兔子与鱼登场人物, ----临渊羡鱼,拳师~ 登场人物, ----腾云,美女调酒师~~后面的更新内容基本按照以下目录顺序来更新,详细攻略附之:第一天、拉萨-白坝第二天、白坝-曲当第三天、曲当-拉则第四天、拉则-邦布其第五天、邦布其-傲嘎第六天、傲嘎-巴当第七天、巴当-卓湘第八天、卓湘-沙基塘第九天、沙基塘-晓乌米第十天、晓乌米-陈塘第十一天、陈塘-定结第十二天、定结-拉萨营地小景※ 去西藏 ※这是我最近4年来第三次进藏,2012年5月,我们一行12人又一次踏上了西行的列车,经过近50个小时顺利到达圣城拉萨,一座属于天堂里的城市。世界屋脊的青藏高原充满了神奇,昆仑山、唐古拉、念青唐古拉,还有美丽的青海湖、可可西里、那曲草原。雪山脚下,天地之间,藏羚羊、黄羊、野驴、牦牛一路相伴。云那么白,天那么蓝!虽不是第一次进藏,可看到这高原美景就忍不住拿出相机咔嚓个不停。大脑也随之开始兴奋...※ 去西藏 ※西藏,正是为了那极致的美景,为了那蓝天、白云、雪山的圣洁,我们这群人才几乎每年都要聚在一起,带着一些痴迷、执着、坚毅和承诺,去亲近西藏运行,去领略大自然的神奇与博大,去找那一点点属于我们的幸福...远行,就这样在坐在车窗前,望着车窗外的白云,列车上播放着歌颂高原的曲子...我们一路来到拉萨※ 拉萨 ※ 回到了拉萨, 又见到了布达拉, 依然, 拉萨河轻轻流淌, 八廓街人来人往... 他正用偏执来抗拒这个不知是谁造就的乱世... 这就是信仰![费用]很多人比较关心费用问,先给大家说一下费用问,我们不是商业队伍,全部费用AA,队员兼任义务CFO,预算是从拉萨开始往返2000-3000元。以下为实际的花费,人均2000元左右,以供后人参考:拉萨-白坝,包车费3000元(司机:洛桑,13908906012,人不错),人均250元(嗯~ 别笑哦,赶巧了~) 白坝镇在318国道上,新定日(协格尔镇)的珠峰景区售票处就在白坝镇,如果去珠峰必须在此购买门票,去樟木、尼泊尔也可以在白坝镇停留。 包车最方便,可以从直接从酒店出发,13座依维柯3元/公里,车顶有行李架。拉萨到新定日县城单程504公里,包车按照往返1008公里收费,到白坝往返1000公里。 白坝物价较高,吃住较贵,吃一碗面都15元,住雪域E族饭店,间160元/天,24小时有热水(估计多数人怕高反,也不敢洗澡,嘿嘿~~)。 如果不包车,从拉萨坐车到日喀则80元,然后换乘去定日的班车70元,可节省100元,注意:从日喀则去定日的班车较少,如果赶不好时间点就要在日喀则多呆一天。 另外注意:在白坝有卖化石的藏民,千万别买,全假的。若真要留个纪念也罢,花5块钱买个当纪念品不错!当然你若有钱...白坝-曲当,包车费3000元(车主:尼玛才旦,13518924783,司机:桑杰,13889026202),人均又是250元(嗯~ 你就偷着笑吧~) 包车,其实也是定日县-曲当乡的班车,22座中巴,当地人从定日到曲当车票75元,但是车子不是每天都开,外地人在珠峰路切村检查站那查珠峰门票,有珠峰180元门票就可以放行,不去珠峰也得买票有点过份了,除非你有其他办法。(若有敬请分享~~) 班车老板就是利用这检查站多赚点汉人的钱(除非你长得象藏人,否则下车),不买票不放行,除非你有其他办法,包其他车也是。 最好的办法就是跟班车老板砍价了,可以让他包含从曲当乡到优帕村或伦珠林村的卡车费用,要知道他们在曲当找车会便宜很多。 在曲当住珠峰饭店,40元/床位。租牦牛费用,12320元,这是全程最大一笔费用,人均1026元。 建议从乡里提前联系好牦牛,一头70元/天,每头能驮运3个大包,本来我们计划租用6头牦牛,因季节原因牦牛中间无法吃到草,又多带了些牦牛的粮草(否则,牦牛会罢工的~~) 最终8头3个牦牛工,如果是环线出发地和结束地相同,费用按照实际发生天数计算,我们不是环线,从曲当进、陈塘出,计划徒步8天,给了他们16天的费用。 8x(8+3)x70=12320元 个人观点:当地老百姓比较纯朴,不要过于跟他们去计较这一点点费用,我们出去玩都买了保险,人家一路听你的跟着你翻山越岭,容易吗?陈塘费用,住宿40元。 到达陈塘之前没有任何费用,到陈塘镇,建议去品尝当地的鸡爪谷酒,镇上只能住政府安排地方,吃饭只有一家贵州人开的饭店(正在装修),山下藏嘎村能提供吃饭和住宿。 当然我们去陈塘就是为了从政府的厕所里看对面山谷里的绝美风景(注意:只有厕所那里能看到~~)。陈塘-拉萨, 从小的地方到大地方,车子会越来越多,一半就不用包车了,陈塘到定结班车70元/人,也不是每天都有,可以提前联系,人多就能来接你。 定结到日喀则80元/人,日喀则到拉萨80元/人。其中还包括一些FB费用(在陈塘喝了12桶鸡爪谷酒~~酒桶啊~~),日喀则、白坝、曲当、陈塘、定结等地全部饭店FB。人均2000元左右。※ 第一天、从拉萨出发 ※我要说:无需豪言壮语,我们只是跟随着前人的脚步,走了过来。感谢前人留下不少攻略,也算让我们有备而来吧。...最吸引我的当属那张措学仁玛三座雪山的倒影,就是冲它而去的...结果...这天,从陆青年旅社出发...我,已经习惯了高原,也喜欢上也高原,下火车到再出发,我们只在拉萨停留了一个晚上...早到的朋友已经从荒野那里每人准备好了2个气罐这是刚下火车时的情景 ~这哥俩像不像逃难的?~~要特别感谢在拉萨招待过我们的那位朋友([]
几个月前来到驴友论坛,此地高人辈出,令人惊叹不已。看帖看久了也想贡献一点自己的经验,但我没有上山下海的体力与毅力,我的工作也不允许请太长的假,要说户外活动,实在没有拿得出手的东西,想了又想,只有2007年去新西兰的自助旅游还值得一看,于是就整理一下,发了上来。事先声明,我是台湾人,我知道有很多事物在两岸有不同称呼,例如我去的New ZEALand这个国家,你们称为新西兰,我们则称为纽西兰。入境随俗,我会尽量用你们的说法,但是这篇游记内容繁多,我不可能事事求证。如果你们觉得有些句子怪怪的,那就是台湾习惯的说法,也许我疏忽了没有改正,或者我不知道你们会怎么说,请见谅。新西兰由两个大岛组成,也就是北岛和南岛。这是我和老婆在2007年春节去新西兰北岛自助旅游半个月的游记,只去群岛湾(Bay of Islands,北岛着名景点)和奥克兰(Auckland,新西兰最大城市)两个地点,游记大纲如下。2月18日:高空云层、奥克兰、派希亚的晚餐2月19日:派希亚的清晨、我们住的汽车旅馆、熟悉环境、罗素小镇、晚餐2月20日:哈鲁鲁瀑布、到处闲逛、糖船餐厅2月21日:出发之前、海湾巡航、返回派希亚、晚餐2月22日:海豚发现之旅、再访乌鲁普卡普卡岛、水下风光、归途、再访糖船2月23日:清晨出发、公路休息站、九十哩海滩、沙丘滑行、瑞因格岬角、午餐和点心、巨木森林、晚餐和姜汁汽水2月24日:出发之前、海滨步道、欧普瓦的周末市集、森林步道、预约的晚餐2月25日:被放鸽子的高空跳伞2月26日:三访乌鲁普卡普卡岛、晚餐2月27日:清晨的日出、空中俯瞰群岛湾2月28日:出发之前、奥克兰的旅馆、外出逛街、亚伯特公园、夜景3月1日:晨景、奥克兰大学、失望的玫瑰花园、奥克兰公园3月2日:迪芬港一日游、晚餐、奥克兰灯节3月3日:到处走走、海事博物馆、墨西哥晚餐、尾声 2月18日高空云层出发时还是冬季,台北总是灰天暗地,凄风苦雨,感觉很郁闷。到纽西兰就不一样了,二月是当地天气最好的月份,清晨在飞机上醒来,就看到一望无际的蓝天白云,预报一个美好的假期。照片上奇怪的七彩颜色是偏光镜造成的,不知为何,在高空就会这样。整个行程我都把偏光镜装在镜头上,懒得拿下来了。2月18日奥克兰一下飞机就坐巴士到市中心的巴士站,离出发还有一段时间,就在附近逛一逛。回复 roray 的帖子谢啦!您是第一个回复的码头边的渡船大楼(Ferry Building)。 码头的一角 刚离开码头的渡船。这一家Fullers在奥克兰和群岛湾都有据点,经营渡船和当地旅游业务,我们这一次旅游都搭乘他们的渡船,也参加了他们的三个旅**程。(旅.游.行.程.当中的游.行.被河蟹了 )码头旁的街景,周日的下午,街道颇为冷清。 2月18日 派希亚的晚餐坐了十小时的飞机到奥克兰,又坐了四小时的巴士才到群岛湾(Bay of Islands)的门户小镇派希亚(Paihia),抵达时已经是晚上七点,终于到了,好累啊。 我们在派希亚的住宿地点是停泊点汽车旅馆(Anchorage Motel)。旅馆就在海边,沿海的路上有一整排餐厅。第一天的晚餐选择了隔壁的六号餐馆(Cafe No. 6)。六号餐馆和海滩只隔着一条马路,这一带的餐厅有很多座位设在户外,我老婆正在看菜单。 绿唇胎贝(green lip mussel),用白葡萄酒煮,加大蒜、西洋芹(parsley)、橄榄油、柠檬汁,新鲜又美味。 这是spreads & dips,spread是用来涂抹面包的酱,dip是用面包沾来吃的酱。盘子左边有四个小格,分盛四种酱料。黑色是陈年义大利醋,黄色是特纯橄榄油(extra virgin olive oil),白色是黄瓜优格酱,橘色是兼具咸酸甜味的奇怪果酱,还有面包、黑橄榄、生菜叶,随个人喜好自由搭配。典型的生菜沙拉。 2月19日 派希亚的清晨群岛湾是纽西兰的旅游重镇,但是本身的人口不多,这一带的小镇都是几千人的规模,派希亚也不例外。这个海边小屋就在我们的旅馆对面,出租帆船、小艇、自行车等运动器材。旅馆前的海边道路。这里的房屋旁边都有宽广的草坪和大树,令人羡慕。看下面的房屋就知道这棵树有多高,如果在圣诞节来个张灯结彩,会是非常壮观的圣诞树,不知道他们会不会这样做。 这里的房屋不是整片都一个样,而是各有特色小小油罐车,给直升机加油用的 从旅馆走十几分钟就到了码头,在码头边的一家咖啡屋吃早餐。柠檬酸乳酪蛋糕,烤得太干了,不好。([]
Northern Wilderness, Solo Traverse of the Great Chang TangMr YANG Liusong, a Chinese who just finished the first solo traverse over Chang Tang by cycling from west to east in recorded human history, shared his stunning Expedition with all of us through the forum 8264 https//bbs.8264.com/thread-512349-1-1.html .

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 b
GO 摩托 伪少年 从乌市回来已经有段时间了,一直忙于生计或无为的工作,反倒是热衷的旅行却有些淡忘了,其实也不是淡忘,只是无可奈何的耽搁罢了。现下总算有些闲情了,就把这次的摩托环旅发上来,顺便给后来者做一点点参考。本次摩托旅行共计14000公里,全程走完丹东起始至抚远东边境,抚远至额济纳北边境,额济纳至乌鲁木齐全程国道。期间伏暴雨,过草原,滚沙漠无境不有,当然,各种危险与乐趣也是并存的,恶犬,车祸,绝水之类更是常伴左右,此间不多说,待兄弟下文慢慢道来。 出发前言 小屁,是我的一辆机车。其实,我也无法分辨它的性别,按理说男人都喜欢自己的摩托是位凶猛的钢铁侠,能够无坚不摧,霸气十足。但我宁愿它是位可人的女子,因为我实在不愿意骑在一个男人身上太久了。小屁是前不久刚从一位兄弟那里接手的,自己从网上淘了点东西,把它稍微化了个妆,但却无法改动它的心脏,所以125cc的机车,拉到高速总有力有不逮的顿感,排气管还不时发出嘭嘭嘭的声音,我大怒之下就为它取名叫做小屁。因而我也不再想象它是个似水美女了,毕竟此名不雅。 说到小屁,我不由想起刚被我低价卖掉的上一任机车。就是那一辆不起眼的本田摩托陪着我征战了09年的西藏之旅,不论是波密的泥石山洪还是五道梁的冰风雪雨,它都把我安全地带出了困境。我的勇敢是赐于你的坚强,再见了浙D·RM483 再次纪念我的朋友,你的离去代表了我新的征程。 我一直认为自己是一个男人,喜欢所有男人喜欢的纵情与不羁,并且我愿意为之付出巨大的牺牲和承难,我是这样爱着自由的大地。| 她躯体的任意一个角落都是值得让人抚慰的,所以我总喜欢骑着一辆斑驳的机车,驰骋在她的躯体上,不辞辛劳地来回奔波。有些人就把这种叫做摩旅,我不置可否。因为我只是坐在同一个位置上,领略它的风情。虽然我从此有了日行千里的本事。 其实,我也都快老了,不论是青春还是苦涩都将离我而去,取而代之的不过是碌碌的生活,还有甚微的躁动,可这又将于我的回忆何意呢?那么,我就再走走吧。我,对,就是自己。GO吧,摩托,还有,伪少年! 夜宿洑东小镇 那一年,我说,当我跨上机车的时候,我知道,红旗飘起来了。不知为何,当事过境迁,我的血液里不知觉地少了那份激动。取而代之的竟然是深深的迷茫和无措。我逐渐驶离了绍兴,身后的一切好像都像流质的液体一样,我能感受到它从我心头点点滴滴的消失,这使我沉重!原来,我也会想家。 7月7日是自己出发的日子,这是我一早就想好了的。可我却没来由地乏味,直到7日凌晨才算把行装收拾妥贴。把特意从金华赶来为我践行的老哥也累的够呛。离开家已经快十一点了,没有人告别,女人也没有说话,临走前,我拎着帽子细细地看了她一眼,她似乎有些无动于衷,好像就跟往常一样,她对面的男人只是骑着摩托去附近的小球场转一圈就回来了。我的心也就这样安静下来了。 天还是燥热不安,一直到出了杭州城,空气才变得好受些。其实,在出发前的两天,我还认为会从福建一直南下再往西,这也算完成了我穿越湎越边界的梦想。但日头一天比一天猛烈,我只好选择北上内蒙再转战新藏了。 出了浙江界,宜兴地段的太湖公路显然更适宜骑行,不仅路面平整,晚落的太湖风也别有清新。此时,太湖面上已是雾如丝缕了。我择了一条小道,刚容一车通过,颤颤巍巍地往湖边上走。小道边上是一条小渠,大略是附近的村民开凿起来引水的。骑了没多久,我隐隐看到渠道的入口处有个东西在水里翻腾,再一看,居然是个人!我吓了一大跳,手头一哆嗦,死命地按了两声喇叭。水里的人听见动静,呼噜扎进了水里,我正迷惑着,这边小渠的边上就爬上了一个光着上身的小老头手里还拖着一蛇皮袋鼓鼓囊囊的东西。我好奇之极,便问他在做甚。小老头从爬上岸就一直在拖那袋东西,听我问话也不搭理我,背着东西就走了。我心想,这太湖人家也的确与众不同啊。我骑车往前刚走几步,看到坝上描着一行红漆:严禁挖掘芦笋。看来那小老头怕是被我抓了个现行啊。 到了洑东,天气已经微微暗下来了。宜兴也遥遥在望。于是准备找店家住下,在整个小镇悠转了一圈,只发现一家小超市上开了一个小旅馆。跟店家说了价格,便上楼去试看情况。人还没走进去就闻到一股浓重的异味,于是赶紧下楼撤退。这时,我有些后悔没在太湖边搭帐篷了,虽然湖水藻类横生,无法洗漱,但至少落得空气清新,还省却了费用。我正犹豫着,边上一位大妈就过来主动招呼我,说她家可以住人。我打量了一番,觉得大妈面慈目祥,理应不是坏人。再说,我也无财色可劫,就心安理得跟着大妈走了。到了大妈家才发现是一家非常小的副食品小店,斑驳的外墙,不起眼的小字,如果不是附近熟人,断定不会有外来的客人光顾。大妈告诉我说,早几年,洑东还是相当繁荣的,自从镇上的琉璃瓦厂倒闭了,人口也逐渐稀少了,现在连大集市也搬到另一个小镇上去了。大妈似乎很愤懑自己所住的地方成了这副光景,我心下也黯然,一城一池,繁芜终无定数啊。5631KG,离开绍兴中午累了,骑到路边的林子里休息了一会(遥控器就是好用,即使一个人,也照样拍的卡卡的)洑东小镇里的小店 夜营映山 此刻我拘居在这顶窄小的破帐篷里,一边打字一边问候着送我帐篷的兄弟。这该死的帐篷居然每一节帐杆的橡皮绳都是断的。这让我彻底丧失了修复它的决心,只好将就着把帐杆扣起来了事。 昨夜有些乏了,许久没有出门,身体和自己都有些忘记旅行的疲惫了。早晨醒来,不论是肩膀还是腰椎都酸疼的厉害,连左手也有些不得劲。勉强地从三楼把行包拎下来,再捆绑干净,已经是9点过了。临出发,大妈再三叮嘱我要注意安全,我感激地挥别离了我旅行中的第一个驿站。 一路上的风景乏善可陈,除了一层不变的火热,就是扬着一屁股灰尘的大货车。对于它们,我厌烦而恐惧,所以我想尽快地离开这一段有城市的旅程。这也是促使我放弃走东海岸线的原因之一。出了洑东,一路往北疾行,路上遇到几位摩托爱好者,狂飙着大排量的机车轰鸣而过,期间居然还有一位女的,我有些郁闷,骑着追了一段,最终还是放弃了。毕竟我只是骑着一辆125的小屁,上了80迈还不停地打盹放炮,着实令人恼火。 过了宜兴,日头越发猛烈了,40几度的地表把车垫烤的火热,我甚至能感觉到背上的汗液顺着股沟一直流到了内裤上,黏抓在皮肤上湿漉漉的让人愤怒。总算熬到了一家加油站,刚把车子停下,超市里冲出来一人,是个小胖妞。我以为她要来加油,连忙示意她说不用。但她还是径直冲到了我面前,一脸兴奋的。“骑车旅游的?”“嗯。”“一个人?”“啊。”于是小胖妞就露出一脸的羡慕。说。“你去哪呢?”“环游”“啥?”我一时不知该怎么解释,于是想用一个地名来答复她。想了想,就说去西藏。小胖妞果然兴起,瞅着我一个傻乐。我看着胖妞有趣,也来了话唠。就说。“怎么,想去?”小胖妞不假思索道,“那是”“那就去呗”我故作怂恿。“咋去,我又不会像你这样骑车。”“跟我走呗,我带你。”我有些不怀好意。“那怎么成,你一个男的,我……”小胖妞有些难为情。“那有什么关系,大家都是成年人,你说是吧?”我有些乐了。小胖妞听我这么一说,闹了个红脸,怏怏地回超市去了。没过多久,她又走出来,让我跟她回超市,说里面有空调,凉快。我自然求之不得,于是又在超市坐着跟几位大姐侃了会。不过小胖妞不知跑哪去了,待我走了也没再见到她。离开了宜兴地界,一直走过南京、滁州,除了在滁州寻买了一个读卡器,便再无停留。那样的城市和温度,对我早已没有了吸引力。临近傍晚,西边晚霞映染,道路却也变得多姿多彩了一些,只是路向偏西,太阳刚照在脸上,总觉得有些晃眼,一路慢走慢行倒也安全无虞。天色渐渐暗了。前方小城还相去甚远,于是我想着在路边按个帐篷,但由于上午下了雨,所以草地上到处都是坑坑洼洼的水汪子。正没辙,突然发现离马路不远的树林子里似乎有一个小庙宇。我大喜过望,急忙骑着车过去。到了近处才发现是一座废弃小砖房。门前已经长起半人高的杂草了,看来此处是久无人居了。我下车去查看,发现两扇铁门被铅丝箍的严严实实,除非用老虎钳否则根本没办法打开。我透过门缝向里一望,目之所及,到处都是散乱的袋子和垃圾,还有一个木椅子正端端正正地摆在房子的里屋门口。我突然感觉有些阴冷,脑中闪过一丝怪异的想法。于是急急忙忙退了出来。走到车边,又好好打量了一番这间房子。原来,刚才走的急,没发现此处附近没有一家民居,周围还特意的环绕了一圈柏树。我不知这是何意,不过,我也彻底打消了要破门而入,堂而居之的想法。太阳一落山,天就黑的特别快。我又骑着车行进了十几里地,前方就是明光城区了。可我被刚才的遭遇一折腾,心里还认准了今夜非露营不可。泥地、草坪肯定行不通,不仅潮湿,还寻不好一个取水的地方。我毫无目的地骑着车瞎转悠,经过一个叫映山的小村时,路边一盏昏暗的小灯吸引了我的注意。赶近处一看,果不其然,还真是一个学校。听见摩托车的突突声,门口的小房子里钻出来一对中年男女。他们见我拖着一车行李,插着个小旗,觉得非常惊讶。当我告诉他们说想在学校的操场上打个铺时,男女便爽快的同意了。学校并不大,甚至有些破落。搭好了帐篷,我去问门卫大哥,询问有无可以洗澡的地方。门卫大哥热情带我到教学楼后面的林子里。到了那里我才发现,所谓的洗澡居然就是拎着井水冲个凉而已。大哥说这里没有自来水,平时他们都是这样洗澡的。我倒也无所谓,反正打小也是这么过来的,乘着四下无人,痛痛快快脱光了衣服洗了澡。我只是好奇平时孩子们是怎么洗手的呢? 洗完澡刚回帐篷,大姐就过来问我吃饭没,要是不嫌弃就吃点,他们也刚吃完。出于礼貌,我就婉拒了她的好意。在帐篷里啃了中午留下的半块压缩饼干,觉得应该跟大哥大姐聊会天才对,于是拎着水瓶顺带着去装点水来。大姐很是热情,捧出半个大西瓜,三人就围坐在校门口的木头桌子上边吃边聊。大哥告诉我,前几年他们一家子都在永康打工,也是最近才回了老家。现在干看门的活一个月能赚个千把块,家里又种了点地,日子也算能过得下去。只是小女儿学习不太好,刚中考完,分数还进不了最差的普高,还得花上一笔钱才行。说到这,大哥脸上有了些忧虑。大姐倒是一副乐天的模样,一直笑呵呵的问东问西,我也说些旅途的趣事给他们听。我向他们打听明日该去的行程,他们也都不知道。其实这些地方离此地都很相近,只是他们除了生活的老家,还有曾经打过工的陌地,就从未出过远门了。出了宜兴,日头愈发猛烈了骑的乏了,就在路边小憩一会儿映山小学校的操场杂乱的操场几乎没有一块平整的地方,篮球架下算是有一小块水泥地可以扎营学校没有浴室,甚至连个可以遮掩的地方都没有,只好在树林子里打水冲了个凉开学时,大哥卖些小文具和零食以贴补家用。门卫室里只有一台没有有线电的电视。 第三天 不懂自己心一早,我还睡得迷迷糊糊,门卫大哥就过来喊我起床,说给我准备了早餐,吃完了好乘着凉快赶路。我虽然还想再赖一会,但肚子的确饿了,昨晚的半包压缩饼干早已消化的无影无踪。于是赶紧收帐、叠包、打捆、装车,连洗刷也比平时快了不少。只可惜,待我赶到门卫室时,大哥刚好外出,大姐也不在,只有他们的小女儿在收拾锅碗。我瞅了一眼桌子,上头还放着两份菜,显然是留着给我的。一盘是番茄炒蛋,鲜嫩的西红柿裹挟着几块金黄的鸡蛋片儿。还有一盘是咸菜炒肉丝,咸菜油亮油亮的,几条历历可数的肉丝也显得特别诱人。我暗暗吞了口唾沫,也不知该怎么开口说起这回事。小姑娘只管低着头捣鼓被挖的干干净净的电饭锅,既没说话,也没啥示意。我局促地站了会,只好在门口灌了两瓶热水,又问她要了张便条,给门卫大哥留了我的地址和联系方式,便骑车走了。一直出了江苏界,沿着微山湖往北就进入山东地界了。山东,是个颇有分量的省份,无论在哪方面都是行道的翘楚,就如一只蓄势待发的东北虎,虎视眈眈地紧盯沪江,直观近年来的趋势,大有你干不了老大那就我来的感觉。山东不像别的省份,很多的大镇小城或许你都没有听说过,但它的每一个城市每一个地方似乎都能让人有零星半点的记忆,更难能可贵的是它值得称道的肯定是景观或者文化,而并非别的。 只是山东不是我现在要走的,它已经够热闹的了,并不需要现在的我再去画蛇添足,该我去的,是那够寂寥的荒芜之地。到了晌午,因为睡眠不足,人开始恍惚起来。我在路边找了片林子,停好车后便在树上挂了吊床。这是出发前特意买的,是午睡防蛇的利器。不过,因为我太害怕蛇了,所以把吊床绑的高了一些。导致我爬上去的时候连摔了两次。一次摔得四脚朝天,一次摔了嘴啃泥。幸亏附近没蛇,要不然估计连蛇也要笑话我了。吊床晃晃悠悠的,树叶子还不时扇点凉风,再加上知了啊青蛙啊什么蜈蚣蚂蚁的大合唱,很快我就睡着了。没想到这一睡就是一个多小时。醒来一看,时间已经是下午三点了。照路程计算,今天是过不了泰安了。急急忙忙上了路,一路风驰电掣,眨眼间就早已几十公里之外了。都说山东汉子是爷们,大男子主义不可一世。原先,我倒不信。不过一路上的计划生育语,倒是让我对自己产生了怀疑。“关爱女孩,就是关爱民族的未来”,光是这条语,一路上就见了不下十次。我不知山东政府是不是因为要纠正重男轻女的思想,不过,在我看来,这条语倒是别有内涵。“未来”是什么,未来就是将来,就是将来的人。将来的人怎么来的,那就是女人生下来的。所以女孩长大了就是生未来的人的人。所以要保护和关爱会生孩子的人。那么到头来,女人好像真成了繁衍工具了?当然,这只是消遣而已。甭管他在生物系统上是雄性更具有主导地位还是雌性更具有决定权,反正在下一世,谁也不知道自己会不会变成另一个人。到泰安已经晚上八点了。泰安城早已灯火万家。找到青旅,把行装收拾干净,准备到外头吃点东西,却发现附近街上的小吃店都关了门。回到旅舍,大厅里有一帮男男女女在安排行程,又有几人在吹牛,说是这一遭走过了多少个城市,哪一个城市的美女最多,又吃了饕餮了多少美食。安排行程的,都在计划着怎么从南天门登顶,夜宿泰山之巅。大伙儿都很兴奋,似乎正要去完成一件伟大的壮举。我听听看看,忽然发现自己好像早已远离了这个群体,我依稀看到了五六年前的自己也曾这么憧憬每一次旅程。是我开始自闭了,还是我的旅途没人会懂? 虽说只是小小的五河县城,但依我看来却并不比江南的任何一座小城差。况且人家那还是蓝天碧水不说。睡吊床也是一门艺术啊,真是下床容易,上床难 第四天——淋雨早早的我收拾了行囊,逃也似的离开了青旅。我不知道怕什么,总感觉待在这里,它将会消磨了我的意志。而我往后的行程却需要足够的坚强与无畏。 早上醒来,身上的包又多了几个。可能是昨天午休时忘记了在背包上喷药水,使得不少虫子钻了进去。于是,它们便搭着我的车一路的咬,一路的笑,跟我一起来到了泰安。期间,还有不少个被我不断晃动的背包给压死了,到晚上脱衣服时,我才发现它们小小的黑瘦的尸体。在泰安城的铃木专卖店换了机油,听我说起要环游大边境,老板一个劲地表示佩服。我心下有些不以为然,既然都佩服我了,干啥子还不送壶机油哩,还收了我几十块钞票……在出城的路上,遇到了几位赶着驴车的老农。看见驴,我就远远的躲开了。我怕驴,这是有历史原因的。几年前,我与一重庆的哥们从日喀则回拉萨,路上遇到一头小驴子萌态可掬,便凑上去给它照相。可不知它是被激怒了还是被刺激了,一下就兴奋了起来。我一瞧,这动向不明啊。连忙给那兄弟打招呼,他还不知所以,正乐呵呵呵逗它玩。我就说,哎,哎,你瞧它那玩意儿。那兄弟一瞧,嘿,锤子!小驴子那东西嗖嗖嗖的涨了起来。我靠,两人心里一哆嗦,撒腿就跑。那小驴子见我俩窜开去,还得意地追了过来。幸亏这畜生被桩子给拴着,要不然我那跑不动的胖子兄弟准被那驴子给糟蹋了。驴这畜生,还真摸不透它是怎么想的,它是把那玩意当生殖器呢还是当武器?要是当生殖器,它是否把我俩给看错了对象。要是当武器呢,我看这驴准是被自己给踢了,普天下用这个当武器的我可是第一次见到啊。所以我有些害怕驴这动物,当它看上了你的时候,不管是要攻击你还是糟蹋你,都会举起它那威武的工具,让你颜面扫地。刚过济南黄河大桥,天就开始下雨。我在桥头的小店里坐了半晌。小店没有店家,只在门口放了把长椅子供路人歇息。我坐下没多久,一对弟兄也骑着摩托过来躲雨了。他们两个就自顾着玩手机,我闲着没事就抓苍蝇玩儿。耽搁了半来个小时,雨就停了。我又出发上路。没想到才到陵县,雨又开始大起来。我干脆找了家小店,准备吃点东西再走,这时已经是下午末时光景了。小店不大,店家卖的是羊杂汤还有一些鸡蛋饼和孜然饼之类。不过门口贴着一语,口气不小,曰:陵县第一家。不知道是陵县第一家口味呢,还是陵县路口第一家?我一时有些内急,想借店里的厕所一用,刚跨进门,差点就熏昏过去。厕所内脏乱不堪,阵阵异味扑面而来,更让人大倒胃口的是蹲坑旁边居然还排满了密密麻麻的啤酒瓶子。我没细看空瓶还是满瓶,胡乱洗了个手就急忙退出来。走到餐厅,店家的小孩已经把一碗羊杂和两块鸡蛋饼搁桌上了。我心想,都已经点了单了,不吃也浪费。俗话说不干不净吃了没病,出门在外能喂饱已经不错了。于是也不想其他,三下五去二,把粮食全部干完了事。只是雨一直不停地下着,从陵县之后的两百多公里,我就一直浸泡在裹满雨水的雨衣里。除了一只防水的鞋子没有进水,其他的,包括内裤都成哭泣的海洋。那个时候,我好像又回到了09年的波密。那时的318国道波密段被山洪冲垮了一个百来米长的缺口,路上堆满了泥石流留下的大小石头,上面又有山洪不停地泄下来。我骑着摩托车在东头望了半天,最终还是决定涉水而过。不然必须要等到武警把国道抢通,那时不知是多少天以后的事了,而318是波密进藏唯一的通道。当我骑着摩托到了水路中央的时候,不幸发生了,车轮子被地下的石头卡住,车身失去了平衡,连着人一起栽在了水里面。我一下子惊慌失措,扑腾着站起来,水刚好没过了腰际,而摩托车和背包却全部浸在了水里。我顾不得浑身冻得发冷,想要把车扶起来,可背包灌满了水压着后座,就像是把车子死死地钉在了水里面。我绝望的放弃了。我抬头看了看河对面的那个武警,他从开始就站在自己的那辆大卡车前看着我,既没有在我涉水之前喊停,也没有告诉我那个地方水会更浅一些。或者他的任务仅仅掌握动态向上级报告吗?我抬头看着他,他也望着我,那一脸漠然的模样至今也使我记得。于是,我放弃了向他求助。重新蹲下,把整个手臂环抱在摩托车的架子上,狠狠的把它立了起来。至此,我也明白了,有些时候,我只能靠自己,哪怕再绝望再无助,坚强才是最好的动力! 泡了一天的雨,到了晚上手开始胀痛晚间找了家旅馆住下。衣裤都是泥水,累的两腿发软也没劲儿再搓洗,只好胡乱挂在房间里。下楼,看到路边有家面馆,一时间,馋虫狂号! 第六天 从北京到山海关昨天从泊头到北京时,已经下午6时多了,一直过了廊坊雨才开始逐渐停下来,我被淋得狼狈不堪,只好把雨衣脱了,顺着廊坊到北京百十来地的风才勉强把衣服吹个半干。一晚上都在朋友的陪同下度过,期间热情暂且不表。到北京最主要的目的是更添一部分装备,除了重新置换一顶帐篷之外,还让朋友代购了一些当时没买到的蛇药、手术刀片、绷带之类,最重要的是借用了一台手持GPS,希望这能让我的旅程多一份保障。到山海关的路并没有想象中的好走。因为卢龙段102大翻修,一路上到处都是运载的货车,整个下午基本上都是在大货车中艰难的穿行。中间,还发生了一个小小的意外。离开玉田城不久,我就遇上了延绵几公里的堵车长龙,不用说漫天的灰尘弄的我灰头土脸,光是那些尾气也足以把人烤的外焦里嫩了。我越骑越心烦,于是就顺着大货车右侧的空隙,慢慢地开始超车。没想到,前方路边铺满了一层厚厚的沙土,我一时没注意,车轮子在沙地上一打滑,车子便晃晃悠悠地拐倒在地上。而此时离我几米开外的后方正好停着一辆运泥沙的大货车。我心下骇然,如果不是前面排起了队,还真不好说后果会怎么样了。有了这个教训,我特意的放慢了速度,毕竟,任何时候安全才是最重要的。山海关古城游客不多,甚至整条街上也见不到一个背包客。北大街上的几家客栈更是门可罗雀。我骑着车子转了一圈,看到有一家写着“学生公寓”的客栈,心想该是个实惠的去处。我问坐在门口逗狗的老板,家里有铺没,老板满口应承。很是热心地帮我把车推进了院子。院子还挺大,上下两层小楼,一溜的仿古装饰。待我拎着包进了房门,才发现里头其实就是个简易的小旅馆,这倒也罢,只是老板张口就要了100,说是只卖房不卖铺。我拎着包进退不是,想着车子都已经推到院子里来了,装备也拆了,再掉头走人就不合情理了。所以也便答应了。不过,不靠谱的是老板居然要了500块的押金。这小小的家庭旅馆,堪比五星啊。快十一点了,瞌睡虫慢慢开始侵蚀我的意识。该睡了……没玩没了的伪少年。明天,明天就要出关了。出了山海关,过了丹东,我的旅行才是真正的开始!整个古城都在卖这种花生糕,我嘴馋切了一小块,你大爷的,重量堪比切糕啊,而且硬的牙都快崩了。啃了两口,实在吃不了,扔了。 第七天 营口旅途中,最有意思的莫过于遇见形形色色的人了,不论他是否使你感动、忧伤、悲愤、快乐。只有不同的人的存在和交错,你才会觉得自己的存在。我们都在一个城市生活的太久了,很多时候都忘记了世界不只有这么大,能看到的也不只有身边的生命,闻到的也不只有眼前的空气。羁绊太多,在我的意识里父辈的人们几乎都没有为自己活过,我不愿意像他们,虽然我也会有无穷的牵挂。我愿意自己就像一只葫芦岛苇丛里的海鸟,出海的时候一个人,回来的时候满屋子的温暖。这也是旅行的另一种意义。东北人很爽朗,不论男女都是一种天性。如果你找人问路,对方的神态动作有千百种,但语言态度只有一种,那就是逗得你乐。问这大爷。嗨,大爷,山海关咋走啊?大爷锄头在地上一杵,裂开嘴就喊道,你看,顺着这道,别拐弯,使劲儿砸就到了。问那大姐,嗨,大姐,东郭咋去呢?大姐把饺子皮面一捏把,拍拍手站在门口为我指路,看见没?照着这道一直往前走,第一道口往北一转,就往上干,一路别停歇。“砸”“干”“冲”,一个个毫不相干的词到了东北老乡的嘴里,却这般模样,实在令人莞尔。早晨醒的并不早,院子里没有什么声音,况且我也睡得沉。小院老板帮我把车子抬出门,递给我一支烟,两人就有一搭没一搭聊起天来。其实老板并不是当初想的那么财势,听他的说法也颇让人郁闷的。老板青岛人,刚好三十,也算是漂泊过来。在山海关租了个小院子,开了这家不大不小的客栈,平时也没什么生意,主要靠附近的高中学生在此借宿。老板告诉我,山海关这地儿生意不好做,当地政府政策不扶持也便罢了,最要不来的是各级部门三天两头来检查,一检查就得罚款,所以想要在此地做生意得先把这帮公仆喂饱了才成。难怪,昨晚上我在古城里转了一大圈,除了偶有几家本地人在卖那啃不动的花生糕,基本上都是关门大吉,没想到竟然是这种原因。听到这里,我心里不由对当地政府产生了鄙夷。所谓窥一斑而见全豹,一家小小客栈的老被尚且被折腾至此,更不用说其他了。老板唉声叹气,反倒羡慕起我来了,说是如能像我如此这般那倒当真不错。原来,老板为了能在本地安身立命,找了个当地姑娘,以便借用姑娘家的关系打点各种门道。我不由唏嘘,这货,为了挣俩钱,把身子都给搭进去了。出了绥中,我正停在路边照相,迎面骑过来两位自行车友。到了近前一看,带头的居然还是位大爷。一问才知道原来是网上颇有名气的大庆油人李兴德老人,李爷今年68了,从世纪初就开始接触自行车游行,目前总行程已超过三十万公里,可谓真真切切的老当益壮啊。李爷甚是热情,听说我要环游国境线,忍不住感叹,说骑着摩托车周游中国一直是他的梦想,希望有一天能与我一起同游。三人相谈甚欢,留了影,记了电话才挥手致别,我往北,他们往西。沿着海岸线,一路向东北进发,路边都是繁茂的芦苇田。虽然还看不见海,但那股子清新的味道早已扑面而来,我的心也随之清爽了。我见路边的芦苇荡子长得好看,就顺着小道一直往深处骑去,两边苇叶飒飒作响,不时还有咕噜咕噜的水鸟发出打盹儿的声音。我干脆弃了车,沿着小路徒步了一阵,看那无边无际的芦苇一直延伸开去,成片,翠绿,飘扬着,欢乐着,不知还要多久才能有个尽头……路上遇到许多载芦苇杆的车子,就像个背负着如山压力的老人路上遇见两位骑友了无尽头的芦苇荡子营口河大桥营口小城 第八天 丹东海滨公路 营口是座新城,如果只是从大街上走过,你会恍惚它是个大城。楼房虽然不高,但胜在道路宽敞。一入城,我就觉得这地儿比绍兴好,比绍兴亮堂。而到了第二天,我又觉得这地儿还是比不上绍兴,没绍兴实诚。其实,很多北方的小城,包括中西部的城镇,看似不错,基建也搞得像模像样,但毕竟城市基础放在哪儿,深入走一走,就发现那不过是白须儿的西瓜,它里头还没熟。因为在绍兴带的地图册是老版的,内容不是很详尽,所以第二天在图书城重新买了一本。又在肯德基买了个汉堡,一屁股坐在商场的大门口,就着凉水三下五去二把东西吃光,便又匆匆上路了。在计划中,我会在日落前,经过丹东然后到一个叫古楼子的小镇,可由于路上贪玩,便错过了时辰。到了晚间,沿海公路起了大雾,我穿着一件风衣还是被冻得发抖,到丹东城区已经是晚过九点了。丹东没有青年旅舍,在网络上却有一家小有名气的客栈。我吊着肚子按网上留下的地址,一路找寻,到了目的地一问,这兄弟早就卷铺盖不干了。我一肚子窝囊,只好随意在路边找了一家旅店住下。丹东最多的就是烤肉店了,无论在城市的哪条街都可以见到各种杂色的烤肉店名,那家叫王大胖子烤店,这家叫李小矮子烤店,你能想到的名它有,你想不到的名儿它也有,但家家都卖一种东西,那就是烤肉串。一整天了,我就在营口啃了一汉堡,早已饿的昏天暗地,也不及精挑细选,找了一家最近的,让老板各整俩牛羊串,再烧一鸡架子,最后下一碗粉。这就是我在丹东最好的食物了。不过,粉太辣,我挑了俩筷子就咽不下去了,只好浪费。 这一天虽然对不起肚子,但精神上的确非常愉悦。不用说出了盖州走盘山公路那种拉马式的快感,单是庄河至丹东那一段滨海公路,也够让我废寝忘食的了。海滨路上几乎没有什么行车,我摆足了架势把马力往上飙,可惜小屁这东西不争气,过了八十码就给掉链子,一顿一顿的活像被人卡着脖子赶路。我知道它性情,于是便不催促它,干脆慢下车来好好欣赏沿海美景,不时还窜上一码头,驻车远眺,当真是一份惬意无限啊。出了营口开始连续的盘山公路路边的瓜田里,几位妇人正在顶日劳作滨海公路附近的湖泊通往海滨公路的大道,笔直 停泊在码头整整齐齐的小船临近东海,视野变得宽阔起来天快黑了,我还在路上徘徊。是景太美,还是人太醉?海滨公路两侧矗着不少的风车,平添了几多韵味。太阳下的很快,没一会儿,天边余晖散尽,留下一片乏绿的天空,让人着迷到了丹东肚子饿得不行,在街边一排当要了一份米线和几个大串,没想到米线辣的不行,只好强忍着舔两口了事。串嘛味道还成,实在太饿了,再来十窜也不成问,就是有点小贵。 第九天 丹东备战 丹东,今天下雨,淅淅沥沥的,不是很大,却容易打湿路过的人。我这个远方的客人,没有特别的感觉,就如同闲逛家乡的某个小城一样,走过了它的每一条小街。 因为雨,也因为丹东是我整个东北边境线的最后一站城市,所以尽量在今天把需要的装备补充完整。在附近的超市买了些米和冰糖,又在街边的劳保店添了一个提包。只是找不到一个合适的油箱罐子,只能在路上再想办法了,如果实在不行,就只好拿饮料瓶子将就了。 下面是我的一部分装备,闲来无事就收拾收拾。求生装备:手持gps 步话机 钓鱼线 鞭炮 ** 工兵铲 强光手电能量装备:糖类 牛肉干 肉松 咖啡 维c求生装备、炊具:汽油炉头 锅子 驱虫剂 辣椒水 冷光棒主食装备:压缩饼干 米 肉肠 大蒜头 榨菜 萝卜头 第十天 雨中的丹东边境 从昨天开始,雨就没有停过。早晨起床,雨还是飘洒着。查看了天气预报,雨还得持续到明日才会停下。我已经在丹东城消耗了一天,思量不能再耽搁下去了,于是收拾了行装,出了城往东北方向赶去。 沿着鸭绿江一路骑行,很容易就可以望见河对岸的朝鲜民居。扫地的老大爷告诉我,丹东对岸就是朝鲜第二大城市新义州了,你也可以乘着船去江里转一圈,对岸的朝鲜人民也可以开着小船来这边转一圈,但都不允许上岸。如果你有兴趣,大可以花上点小钱,在满大街的旅行社里随便找一家,帮忙办个证,就可以名正言顺的随他们去平壤了。我对此倒有些意兴阑珊,最好是纯粹来旅游,口袋再揣上多点儿的钱,那到无妨一去。 丹东是繁华的,对于对岸的新义州百姓来说,甚至是富丽堂皇,虽然他们大部分人此生都没有机会见到这样的景象。要是晚间走在沿江大道上,左手是丹东的灯红酒绿,右手是新义州的冷色萧条,无怪人们都说朝鲜就是解放初期的中国。于此,我想身为中国人还是值得骄傲的。 如果是晴天,那顺着江岸走就更妙了。不用说青山绿水兰黛瓦,不用说碧波浩渺渔船家,光是那纯天然无污染的江风,它直入心扉,除尘驱污,由鼻入肺再贯三鼎,保管你元气大增。可惜今天是个雨天,我穿戴繁琐,头上又压着几斤重的头盔,的确无法感受。虽如此,但所谓山色空蒙雨亦奇,鸭绿江浮游的重重雾气也为单调的江水平添了几分魅惑。 到了一乡村,谓河口村,这里也有一座断桥,游客可以买票走到断桥头。整座桥被人为地卸走了几个墩子,也阻断了朝鲜与中国的通道。我想,会不会,对岸正有一位老人守望着这头的亲人呢? 我离开河口村,沿着边境小道继续往东北骑行。没走多远,路边竖着一广告牌,上曰:南有千岛湖,北有长丰库。敢情是在夸赞这里头的长丰水库呢。我站在岔道口,思忖再三,还是决定去看一看,既然都大老远跑这儿了,也不难为这几十公里的来回。于是便驱车往山里头赶去。路上有不少地方都泡着山洪,又有不少泥石路,我小心翼翼的走着,生怕又像上次那样栽在了水里头。往山里走了大约十几公里,我远远地望见了一座大坝,心想这就是长丰水库了吧,于是加足马力往山上冲。待车子冲上了山坡,我才发现这是水库的西边,除了一些泥沟沟,就剩下一小坛子水库的角落。我有些不甘心,便弃了车往边上的一座院子走去,可能到了院子的那头就可以看见水库的真面目了。没走几步,从里头窜出一解放军,喝道:站住!上哪儿去?我一见来了个兵,就说上前头看看水库。解放军说这是军事禁区,不让进。我没有办法只好怏怏地按着原路返回了。 顺着丹集公路往前走,离长甸还有几公里的时候,雨开始昏天暗地的往下泼,我心疼后座上的几个驮包。日用品虽然有防水袋包着,但一些没防水袋裹着的东西难免要被淋湿了。果然,到了长甸一加油站,我进去躲雨,才发现油箱包里的地图早已被浸了个透心凉。在加油站添了点汽油,又跟加油的大姐聊了会天,雨还是没停下来的意思,反而下的更加拼命了,似乎是存心跟赶路的人过不去。大姐见我淋得够呛,就劝我在长甸找家小旅店住下,待明日开晴再走不迟。我想了想,也觉得只好如此。 我骑着车绕着长甸转了一圈,只发现路边有三两家家庭旅店,一家叫随缘,一家叫平安,另一家我记不清了。我考虑了一下,认为出门在外平安是最重要的,于是就选择了这一家叫做平安的旅店。单间的房费倒也不贵,二十块钱还捎了个电视机,还挂着一小电扇。面积虽然小了点儿,但能在彷徨的时候找到个温温暖暖的落脚地儿,就相当满足了…… 第十天 雨中的丹东边境从昨天开始,雨就没有停过。早晨起床,雨还是飘洒着。查看了天气预报,雨还得持续到明日才会停下。我已经在丹东城消耗了一天,思量不能再耽搁下去了,于是收拾了行装,出了城往东北方向赶去。沿着鸭绿江一路骑行,很容易就可以望见河对岸的朝鲜民居。扫地的老大爷告诉我,丹东对岸就是朝鲜第二大城市新义州了,你也可以乘着船去江里转一圈,对岸的朝鲜人民也可以开着小船来这边转一圈,但都不允许上岸。如果你有兴趣,大可以花上点小钱,在满大街的旅行社里随便找一家,帮忙办个证,就可以名正言顺的随他们去平壤了。我对此倒有些意兴阑珊,最好是纯粹来旅游,口袋再揣上多点儿的钱,那到无妨一去。这里有两座桥一座是通往朝鲜中朝友谊大桥,另一座是断桥丹东是繁华的,对于对岸的新义州百姓来说,甚至是富丽堂皇,虽然他们大部分人此生都没有机会见到这样的景象。要是晚间走在沿江大道上,左手是丹东的灯红酒绿,右手是新义州的冷色萧条,无怪人们都说朝鲜就是解放初期的中国。于此,我想身为中国人还是值得骄傲的。如果是晴天,那顺着江岸走就更妙了。不用说青山绿水兰黛瓦,不用说碧波浩渺渔船家,光是那纯天然无污染的江风,它直入心扉,除尘驱污,由鼻入肺再贯三鼎,保管你元气大增。可惜今天是个雨天,我穿戴繁琐,头上又压着几斤重的头盔,的确无法感受。虽如此,但所谓山色空蒙雨亦奇,鸭绿江浮游的重重雾气也为单调的江水平添了几分魅惑。

今年2.29—3.25,完成了向往已久的尼泊尔EBC徒步和景区旅游,我们的路线是:成都—加都—卢卡拉—EBC(三人原路返回,一人穿越CHO LA PAAS从GOKYO返回)—卢卡拉—加都—博卡拉—蓝毗尼—奇特旺—加都—成都。产生徒步尼泊尔EBC的愿望,最早是因为两年前在我参加活动的杭州起点登山队的论坛上看到“小妖精FAY”的一个帖子《天堂的约会-尼泊尔14日无背夫无向导徒步》(本论坛也有此帖),当时立马“中毒”, 心想“杭州小妖精”去得,难道“杭州老妖怪”就去不得? 年轻人能够重装无向导,我老头轻装用背夫总可以吧?话是这么说,形成决定还需多方了解情况,掂斤估两。我自己的情况是:65岁,数年前被医生宣布为高血压病人,需每天服药降压; 从03年起间或参加过不少杭州周围野山的登山活动,体能在团队中属中下等; 2009年5月去川藏,在定日珠峰大本营徒步5公里,2010年春节从德钦雨崩徒步到梅里雪山大本营, 这两次高原行走都感觉高反轻微;去年五一,作为EBC徒步的热身去爬了浙西清凉峰(海拔1787.4米, 8.5小时上下),下山时陡坡砾石路很难走,把四个脚趾盖都顶黑了,筋疲力尽,但还是跟上队伍走完了全程(能不跟上吗?)。浏览了不少有关EBC徒步的网帖,反复权衡,最终的结论是:走EBC不需要超强的体力,但需要有一点意志和耐力, 需要有高原行走适应高反的经历,因此我基本上是能够胜任的, 尽管从古狗卫星图上看下去,我们将要走的路是如此严酷狰狞。根据旅行必须“有钱有闲”的条件, 我把出发日期定在2012年初,在杭州19楼,8264,磨房,台湾背包客栈上都发了招伴帖,帖子发出后,前前后后来联系的有二十多人,包括香港,日本, 台湾的驴友, 但因为我的日程较长,上班族假期不够或不对应,最后成行的只有四人,其实, 这样的徒步旅行结伴最好也就是4-6人,人多了容易意见分歧各行其是。在搜集尼泊尔旅行资料做攻略的过程中,除了上面提到“杭州小妖精”的帖子,对我帮助最大的就是简如邠女士的书《尼泊尔玩全秘笈》,尽管这本书的大陆版本完全以“中国”的面目出现,没有一字提到台湾, 但一看行文风格便知这本书是台湾作者写的。在此真心对这两位女菩萨致谢。 出发前一天晒装备, 说明如下:60升背包自重2.2公斤,总重11.5公斤,EBC路上拿出自己背装相机水壶的小背包,托付给背夫的重量是8.5公斤。考虑到走EBC本人体力有限, 没有带笨重的单反,只带了两个傻瓜机,打印机用来现场打印小照片讨尼泊尔小盆友的喜欢。事后最满意的装备:骆驼全防水登山鞋(740元),天石海子羽绒睡袋(淘宝886元,舒适温零下4°C--零下11°C,充绒800克,自重1.4公斤),宜家0.5升保暖瓶(29元,看瓶贴属日本退货,却是我用过的水瓶中保温效果最好的,让我能在雪山上喝到热水)。为了保持对外联络并免去网本的重量,专门买了一个爱疯4替换原来300元的双卡山寨手机.因为后来三人放弃了计划中的CHO LA PASS, 所以雪套冰爪都没用上。D0 (2月29日) 上海--成都又一次来到这个驴友中转城市,免不了再去逛逛锦里。D1 (3月1日)成都--加德满都(Kathmandu)950从成都起飞, 1130左右飞越喜马拉雅山脉。80年代某个夏天曾首次飞越喜马拉雅, 那时只看到一片赭色的高原, 如同火星表面, 没有任何生命迹象,也十分震撼, 现在则疑惑当时为什么没有看到积雪呢?飞临加都河谷上空加都国际机场, 尼泊尔欢迎你网上招伴集结的四个人(来自杭州, 嘉兴, 漳州)在加都机场外, 一副神采飞扬的样子, EBC的冰天雪地正等着狠狠地折磨这四个小子。到达塔梅尔区东口。在所住旅馆对门的旅行代理处买了明天去LUKLA的小飞机票(往返205美元),换了足够的卢比。大街上的尼共竞选广告。外国游客受到尼泊尔武警的严密保护:) 自己去尼泊尔旅游局办理进山证(TIMS), 每份1600卢比。如果委托旅游代理办, 每份要2000卢比,但如果你和代理有其他生意可做, 如委托其代办旅馆,机票,团队游,雇佣向导背夫等等, 代理也可能向你提供只要1000卢比或10美元的进山证,其中有何奥妙他们自己知道。街上的骑警, 把照片在电视机上放大看才看出骑警是位女性, 正用冷峻的眼神瞟我这位“老外”的镜头。人行天桥上的盲人乞丐。穿过加都最热闹的传统集市阿森街(ASON TOL)。 杜邦广场纳拉扬神庙距离这个“苦行僧”的背影十几米远按下了快门,不料他却听到了“咔嚓”声立马转过身朝我走来,“哈哈, 可逮着你了,100卢比!”--看他的表情我猜想他心里是这样想的,他走近向我讨钱,我假装听不懂他的话一脸茫然双手乱挥, 最后不了了之。湿婆和帕尔瓦蒂在他们的神庙上方俯视着芸芸众生。尼泊尔人90%信印度教,湿婆(SHIVA)是三大神祗之一,主管生殖与毁灭, 虽是外形是女的,却是个男儿身(像佛教的观音菩萨?),以男性生殖器(LINGGAM)为象征; 帕尔瓦蒂是湿婆的配偶,是喜马拉雅雪山神女,代表幸福美满的婚姻,以女性生殖器(YONI)为象征。D2 (3月2日) KATHMANDU--LUKLA (海拔2840)--PHAKDING(2610)--MONJO(2840)加都国内机场大厅买的是YETI的机票,坐的是TARA的飞机, 驾驶员是典型尼泊尔美男。登机完毕, 乘客中有不少当地女藏民, 是去转山拜佛的。 第一次坐这样的小飞机,觉得命都悬在窗外这个黑铁皮包的螺旋桨上。降落了我们的飞机 卢卡拉山地机场,仅有400米斜坡跑道, 据称居世界上最危险的十个机场之首。在机场出口和出发前在网上约好的两名向导背夫会面,决定今天和随后的行程安排。尼泊尔时间早上10:00启程,从机场边的小路上山。刚才得到消息, 本月14号尼泊尔AGNI公司的一架小飞机从博克拉(POKHARA)飞往江森(JOMSOM, ABC徒步的一个起点)途中因技术故障失事撞山, 机上至少17人遇难。无语。 愿逝者安息, 一路走好。难免会想, 同在2012年, 为什么是ABC, 不是EBC?为什么是五月的他们, 不是三月的我们?想起这次旅行前,老同事(曾在空军中维修飞机)劝我不要去坐小飞机。户外运动的风险当然比坐在家中大,但是,生命的本质,就寓在运动之中啊。 夏尔巴人的孩子, 也许从小就学习这种用头顶承重的负荷方式了。1400到PHAKDING午餐, 1710到MONJO投宿。我们的向导(左)和背夫(右),向导能英语会话, 书写也很漂亮,背夫是他徒弟,看上去18岁都不到吧。 D3 MONJO(2840)—NAMCHE (3440)萨加马塔国家公园门口。 在这里查验进山证和购买门票(每人1000卢比)。珠穆朗玛峰(藏语, 圣女峰)在尼泊尔语中为萨加马塔峰(SAGARMATHA),西方人则习惯称埃佛勒斯特峰(MOUNT. EVEREST), 是为了纪念英国统治印度和尼泊尔时,负责测量喜马拉雅山脉的印度测量局局长George Everest。办公室内记载每年每月进山人数的表牌,2012年3月还是空白。路遇一位在事故中失去一条胳膊的夏尔巴向导,他仍在继续他的职业。 据说今天的路陡升600米比较费劲, 结果却没有感觉, 上午8:00出发, 中午1230即到目的地NAMCHE。下午到市场上去购物,买了气罐, 矿泉水,夏尔巴帽等等。投宿HOTEL TIBET.旅馆店堂里纪念1953年新西兰人希拉里和他的夏尔巴向导诺尔盖首次登上珠峰的的招贴。小时候(1956年)我在上海黄陂路南京路口(现上海美术馆)看过一个《印度摄影展览会》,里面有首次登上珠峰的诺尔盖的照片,所以一直以为首次登上珠峰的是个印度人。 D4NAMCHE(3440)--TENGBOCHE(3860)上午10:00从NAMCHE 出发据向导说这座塔是纪念首次登上珠峰的夏尔巴人诺尔盖的。下午1720在一片阴霾中到达TENGBOCHE的客栈 D5TENGBOCHE(3860)--DINGBOCHE(4410)早上起来挂在室内的毛巾成了冰棍,说明室温在零度左右,自己的睡袋加客栈的一条毯子,基本可以睡得比较暖和。早餐。 NAMCHE以上客栈的房价是100卢比/人,早中晚餐的价格基本上是300-450卢比一餐,热水300卢比/一热水瓶,牦牛奶400卢比/一热水瓶,充电300卢比/一次。 牦牛所背货物的外包装是“浙江温岭工业园区”的饲料袋。今天是上午820出发, 下午1550到DINGBOCHED6DINGBOCHE (4410)今天在DINGBOCHE停留一天,适应海拔。客栈店堂里台湾驴友的帖子。晒鞋,烧水泡方便面。夕阳下的 AMA DABLAM 峰(海拔6858米)D7DINGBOCHE (4410)--LOBUCHE(4940)早餐后在客栈店堂里和房东合影,山上所有的店堂都是同一格局,屋中央通常有个火炉,四周墙边连上约70公分宽50公分高的坐台,上铺毛毡, 再放一圈餐桌,白天可当餐厅,晚间遇旺季客人爆满时可让客人睡在坐台上。柜台上贴了告示提醒健行者在此购买巧克力瓶装水等物资, 再上去越高越贵。 能和心爱的人一起神游喜马拉雅山真是人生莫大的快乐啊, 后面是KANGTEGA峰(6778米) 早上7:50出发,1020到TUKLA午餐,各国登山队健行者都习惯事先做好不干胶LOGO一路留名,俺们下次也要学这一招。这次只能用随身带的红色唛头笔留名(见上方)。爬坡上了这个垭口是一片开阔地,这里有许多在山难中殒命的夏尔巴人和各国登山者的灵塔。 夏尔巴人用石块垒的灵塔。这个德州达拉斯的小伙子25岁就没了, 不知是在雪山冲顶中遇难还是在高反中一睡不起了。亲属的铭文是“愿他的灵魂在此永生,我们爱你, 我们想你”。 在温暖的阳光下看着,读着,泪水忽然涌上了眼眶。 缺氧,大脑有点迷糊,在平坦的开阔地,EBC的温和阳光令人感到舒服,空气中好像有一种甜蜜的意味,体力消耗似到极限,几乎想就地躺下不再起来, 怎么样?像很多高反患者那样,睡下去就不起来了如何?把所有的烦恼一下全部扔在身后,这样的离开世界也未尝不好啊。亲历过许多长辈和同辈的去世,病人躺在医院病床上,围着一大堆心思各异的亲友,身上插满管子,连着生命监护仪,用各种药物维持血压, 心率,血氧饱和度等各项指,延长濒死者的生命,最后再尝试用大电极刺激心脏复苏 - - 难道这样的死就好么?人的血液里,或多或少流动着早先荒野上群居动物的基因,那些喜欢亲近大自然的登山者探险家的生死观,肯定会和一般人有差别啊。 我们还在向LOBUCHE靠拢, 这位法国大哥已经从EBC下来了,这是我见到的最嬉皮士的“驴友”,脚蹬硬底大皮鞋, 身穿一件到处是破洞的皮大衣,用一根带子背着一个SACK (单口帆布袋, 或曰小偷越货用的大袋子),没有帽子围巾, 没有登山杖, 没有开麦拉,可令所有讲究名牌的“装备控”驴友目瞪口呆 - - - - 前方左面是PUMO RI (7165米), 右面是LINGTREN (6749米)。下午1510到LOBUCHE, 今天走的路在地图上量得的直线距离是9公里,但实际上上下下的距离是多少, 就不清楚了。空中不时响起救援直升机的声音,把严重的高反病人送往加德满都救治,一次救助飞行需5000-6000美元。出发前买过人民币165元的美亚保险,一旦出险只要报保单号就可以得到先行救助,但这样的飞行享受还是不要为好。([]
