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

童话的世界:魁北克城Quebec City是魁北克省的省府,魁北克省官方语言为法语,省内大多数居民是法国人的后裔,日常语言是法语。因历史原因,魁北克省和加拿大其他地方在语言、风俗等方面差别比较大,省内有些居民希望该省脱离加拿大的管治。1980年和1995年,魁北克省分别举行过一次全民公决,决定是否脱离加拿大自己独立,但都没有得到过半数选民的同意。 加拿大班芙Banff国家公园内弓湖Bow Lake加拿大班芙与美国黄石和澳洲爱象,并列世界三大国家公园。纵贯北美西岸的落矶山脉绵延万里,在美国构成了鬼斧神工的黄石景区,而在加拿大这一段则形成了以班芙为中心的一串宝石般壮丽的景点集群。 加拿大Jasper和Banff国家公园交接处的哥伦比亚冰川Columbia Icefield,面积大约为325平方公里,厚度为100到365米,每年降雪量约为7米。 Banff国家公园内的梦莲湖Moraine Lake,它位于十峰山下,海拔高度为1884米,湖泊面积为0.5平方公里。由于梦莲湖是一个冰川湖,因此只有到每年六月底,湖水才到达最高线,折射沉积的岩粉,呈现出美丽的蓝绿色。 温哥华内斯坦利公园Stanley park,就在温哥华的市中心,也是我去的最多的一个地方了)这个市内公园总面积为6070亩,几乎占据了整个温哥华市北端。斯坦利公园北临巴拉德湾Burrard Inlet,西临英国湾English Bay,是北美地区最大的市内公园。斯坦利公园人工景物极少,以红杉等针叶树木为主的原始森林是公园最知名的美景。 从温哥华到多芬诺Tofino大约需时半天,开车从海天高速公路Sea to Sky Highway前往搭乘渡轮BC ferry,沿途是海天一色,尤其夏季里晴空万里、天色湛蓝,美不胜收。然后还要再开车几小时方可到达。Tofino是著名的观鲸胜地,同时也拥有着壮阔的海岸线。 西雅图里的华盛顿大学University of Washington是一所世界顶尖的著名大学,世界大学排名第9位。华大中的建筑歌德式风格为主,中央广场为红砖铺,又叫Red Square。每到4月左右,樱花盛开,景色更是绝美。正对广场的苏赛罗Suzzallo图书馆是典型的歌德式建筑:众多拱门镶嵌人物雕塑,门柱与窗框上都雕有复杂精致的花纹。这个图书馆是华大里我最喜欢的地方。二楼阅览室的彩绘玻璃窗,在夕阳余辉的映照下会发出淡蓝色的光芒,更为这栋庄严而肃穆的建筑增添不少璀璨的色彩。 薰衣草盛开的时节,这一年,我刚刚到北美。 照这张照片的时候,已经是快要离开了,那一次的郁金香节,真应了“乱花渐欲迷人眼” 初春在温哥华的Garibaldi Provincial Park snowshoe,我爱这种非高海拔雪山,哈哈 纽约,纽约,复杂的城市 旧金山的金门大桥,是世界著名的桥梁之一,是近代桥梁工程的一项奇迹。大桥雄峙于美国加利福尼亚州宽1900多米的金门海峡之上,历时4年和10万多吨钢材,耗资达3550万美元建成,由史特劳斯设计。因其历史价值,于2007年由英、美两国合拍成同名纪录片。上面拍的著名其他电影相当不少,从电影“毕业生”、“X战警3”到“007系列”都在这里开拍。顺便插一句:我很喜欢旧金山这个城市,充满了艺术气息。 美国非著名国家公园之Bruce Canyon National Park 美国Mt Rainier National Park中的Reflection Lake,这个湖名字就是反射的意思,我去的时候还不是最好 加州圣地亚哥San Diego的一个海滩 给我亲爱的虎鲸也放一张,这是在圣地亚哥的Sea World。接下来按顺序给大家慢慢道来,后面还有很多很好看的照片)这次20天横扫加拿大的旅程是在2012年8月完成的,当时决定回国,走之前想带着爸爸妈妈玩一次加拿大。不晓得大家觉得带爸妈出游会是一种什么感觉,那次阿林的经历是很累相当累但是又很有成就感。爸爸妈妈不会讲英文,我设计的行程中那些地方自己之前也一次未去过,需要安排相当详细,从各种交通工具到各种酒店。我爸又忘记带驾照。。。所以自驾都是由阿林一个人完成,最长的时候一天开了快10个小时的车。加上觉得那些代理证的其实都有点黑钱的嫌疑,连爸妈的证都是我自己搞的,所以是真的很累。但是要看着爸爸妈妈玩得那么开心,回去之后还一直回味,却也觉得真的很幸福很值得。作为子女,上学之后一直离家在外,玩的时候也多半顾着自己,户外那种爸妈更加无法参加,却忘记了其实他们也希望去看看这大千世界,更加希望享合家团聚的快乐。这次旅程,涉及到加拿大东部四个城市,落基山脚下三个国家公园以及温哥华周边,为了充分体验加拿大,阿林设计的行程使用的交通工具有飞机、火车、轮渡、租的车和自己的车。再贴一下行程计划:D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)加东7日:D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D3 租车前往尼亚加拉大瀑布(Niagara Falls),当日返回多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D4 白天游多伦多城市,傍晚坐火车前往蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D5 上午游蒙特利尔老城区,下午租车前往渥太华,游国会山,住渥太华(Ottawa)D6 开车前往魁北克城,游魁北克老城区,住魁北克(Quebec city)D7 游魁北克城周的脉脉含情瀑布(Montmorency Falls)和圣安妮大峡谷(Canyon Saint-Anne),之后开车回蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D8 游蒙特利尔城区,坐飞机返回温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)落基山4日:D9 从温哥华开往Valemount镇,住ValemountD10 游Jasper国家公园,开冰原大道(Icefield Pkway),晚上到Banff国家公园,住BanffD11 游Banff国家公园,开弓湖河谷公路(Bow Valley Pkwy),游Yoho国家公园,住灰熊镇(Revelstoke)D12 从灰熊镇开回温哥华,途径鲑鱼湾(Salmon Arm),住温哥华(Vancouver)温哥华周边(都住在温哥华):D13 卡皮兰诺吊桥(Capilano),UBC(英属哥伦比亚大学)D14 温哥华城区,格兰维尔岛(Granville island),史坦利公园(Stanley park)D15 爬松鸡山(Gross mountain)D16 游白石镇(White rock)D17 游马蹄湾(Horseshoe),走West dyke trail,游渔港小镇StevestonD18 经海天公路(Sea to sky hwy)到德国小镇惠斯勒(Whistler)D19 坐轮渡去维多利亚(Victoria),游维多利亚D20 打包行李,晚上去Spanish Banks Beach海滩看晚霞因为温哥华周边有些地方我去过多次,比如史坦利公园、白石镇、惠斯勒、维多利亚等,所以在讲述这些地方的时候,我会把之前自己去过时候拍的照片也插一些进来。在这20天旅程写完之后阿林会把大温地区其他到过的地方也介绍一下,说句真心话,温哥华的确是个宜居的地方,而且非常美丽。先放两张爸爸妈妈的照片,看他们笑得好开心! 提前两个月开始弄爸妈证,买机票的事情,列了一个详细的清单出来,大家如果需要也可以按照这个来整理哈,材料齐全应该都没有问。然后从打包行李到如何安检,飞机上注意事项还有下飞机怎么走,足足写了7页纸。还下载了海关入关表填好让他们带着,给他们打印一张纸写着不会讲英文以备不时之需。 D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)坐的是国航CA991,北京时间1550上飞机,温哥华时间1150到,北京和温哥华在夏天的时候是16个小时时差(冬天15个,因为夏天有summer saving time,就是国内说的夏令时)。他们好久都没有出来。。。让我担心了个够呛,而且机场停车费也很贵哦。后来晓得还是语言的问,排队排到那里因为语言问又重新排了个队。其实过关的问很简单,无非是:你从哪里来,你都哪里去,你要去干嘛。入境检查官都是哲学家。开始放两张阿林爸妈的,因为温哥华我实在太熟。。。自己懒得照相,后面的会主要放自己的照片哈)温哥华机场 YVR International Airport,也是人流量很大的。最大优点,离城区近,从我住的地方开车10分钟可达。 后来还看到参加伦敦奥运的加拿大运动员回国,真心很热闹有没有? 加国萌妹子两只,横幅上书:“欢迎回家,我们为你们骄傲”,很有爱。 这是阿林给爸妈找的住的地方,温哥华的家庭旅馆,住得还是很舒服的。我没照那么多照片,就直接拿人家网站上的来用了。这家家庭旅馆名字很汗,叫做“温佳堡”。。。为方便后来人,写地址:7751 Mccallan Rd V7C 2H6, Vancouver, 电话:778-968-2326. 为了证明他们的照片基本属实,放两张自己照的,当时木有点灯,所以比较暗。 D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)当天爸妈都很累,还有时差,就没做太多事情,第二天早上飞机前往多伦多,这是从温哥华机场出发前。航班:Air Canada, Flight 142, 800-1524Air Canada值得一说,和美国的航空公司百花齐放,于是份外便宜不同,加拿大的航空几乎被Air Canada垄断,导致加拿大的机票真心超级贵!看到这些印第安图腾没?这些就是加拿大的历史文化。。。就是收缴了当地印第安人,再拿这个当历史,说实话,阿林一直觉得很扯淡。再放一张爸妈的,从加东开始放我自个的)([]

现代文明社会很容易与低炭挂上钩,俺这里的低炭就是说贴子的口水尽量少喷些,简约嘛也就是文字少些花里花俏,要干净利索地直捣黄龙。 西藏大家也去的很滥了,风景也看厌了。俺也是,青藏线上的风景俺都很少瞧一眼,到是车厢里的藏族小朋友更吸引俺,风景永远都在,大家拱起屁股拍来拍去都是大同小异。可人物是鲜活的就很少有重复的啦。 在拉萨过年当然要去家庭温暖的场合了,年初一在妹子格桑拉姆的家里过,格桑拉姆是西藏的贵族后代,在1998年她上初中的时侯就认识她啦,后来每次来拉萨都会去她家看,她在陕西咸阳的西藏民族学院毕业后分到了政协工作。她弟弟在内地南通上过学,后来考去了天津南开大学,很温馨的一家子! 在春节前后十天里,中尼公路下起了暴雪,路封了,有些春节前提前去樟木的人都被困在聶拉林,进出不得,食品缼少,一桶方便面都卖到了三十元。 在拉萨时结识了三个旅伴拼车先从拉萨坐班车到日喀则,再从日喀则包车到老定日,老定日很难找车,这个天气没有车敢去,后来好不容易包了个车去聶拉木,半夜后车到聶拉木后马上找旅馆休息。这二天路上的雪被解放军淸理了很多,但还不能通车,前几天困在这里的游客也请了背夫徒步去了樟木,第二天俺们也请了背夫,一人50元帮俺们背包,刚开始走时都是结冰的路,一路有很多货车都在路上挂了,就这样公路走走又走走便道,走了十二小时就到了樟木。到了樟木后找不到路走只好去尼泊尔啦。 人物:从右到左 阿峰:广东湛江人,文艺青年,无业,平时搞些画画、设计 小悦:阿峰的女朋友,四川大学的研究生 小吴:南京人,复旦大学在读MBA 扎西:小学文化,住址不定,金牌无业青年扎西相关帖子连接:(汗斯推荐)【穷行印地】Mumbai----Chennai----Calcutta图文(68楼最新更新)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-346551-1-1.html【THAILAND】蓝蓝的天/蓝蓝的梦(KO PHI PHI)+(PHUKET)的几百张照片https//bbs.8264.com/thread-342525-1-1.html越南越走越南。。。。https//bbs.8264.com/thread-335652-1-1.html高棉的眼泪】------无数个骷髅头向你泣诉着柬埔寨的荣辱与兴衰https//bbs.8264.com/thread-377174-1-1.html在西宁告别了拜拜、老虎、楼蓝和二位表妹后坐上青藏铁路往拉萨而去。。。。准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲路上的状况,大货车被困住了([]
风景人文篇:上海的阴冷雾霾的冬天似乎永远都不会结束了,虽然立春已过依旧春寒料峭,无数次的问春天什么时候来啊,却在一场又一场贵如油却不会一场暖过一场的春雨中期盼了一次又一次,失望了一轮又一轮。终于再也不能忍,7:30的早班机飞到了赤道边南半球的小岛,把那矜持缓慢的春天直接跳过,直奔盛夏而去。转机新加坡,折腾到巴厘岛,尚未落地已经暮色渐起,机翼上闪烁的灯光如初升的早星,此生最近距离的夕阳映红从未见过的异形云彩,好像列队的礼兵欢迎这不远万里追寻盛夏艳阳的心情。被炫目的阳光晃开了眼睛,在乌鲁瓦图喝个早茶,乌鲁瓦图又称“情人崖”、“乌鲁瓦图断崖”、“乌鲁瓦图天涯海角”、“望夫崖”,位于巴厘岛西南海岸,直面印度洋。每个绝美之地必然有段魂牵梦绕的故事,何况这个号称“情人崖”的浪漫盛境:传说很久以前一对青年男女相爱,却受到父母的阻挠,为了追求爱情的自由相约在此跳崖。从此,巴厘岛乃至全世界的青年男女都怀着对自由爱情的憧憬到此遐思,当今时代更需要那份单纯的勇气和真挚。相信那对炙热的恋人,融身在这地球最纯美的一滴眼泪里,化作海豚相伴相依或是鸥雁双宿双栖,也不负这神的美好恩赐。下午乘复古敞篷吉普前往海神庙(Tanah Lot)。一路热带风光,稻田椰树,伴着咸咸的海风轻轻摇曳在蓝天白云之下,烈日暴晒的焦躁早已抛掷脑后。整个印度尼西亚以信奉伊斯兰教为主,巴厘岛是唯一信奉印度教的地区。海神庙始建于16世纪坐落在海边一块独立的巨大岩石上,海浪凶猛地拍打着海岸,激起千层巨浪。岩石本身因风化形成天然石柱,将整个庙宇顶在巨石顶端。潮起潮落,岩石和庙宇时而被海水拥裹与陆地隔绝,如一座孤岛突兀于海洋;时而与陆地相连,身着白衣包裹头巾的朝拜信徒延礁石攀至庙宇,向庙里供奉的海神与千年蛇神献上敬拜。门口有一股喷涌了百年没有间断的泉水,即使与汪洋大海近在咫尺,依然保持甘甜而非咸涩,倒是像极了中国人尊崇的桀骜精神,任环境澎湃激荡,我自保持清者自清。偶尔有顶着重物的妇女,贩卖铅笔的儿童擦肩而过,这大海的民族自由怡然的精神就如海边飘荡的帆船风筝一般勇敢无畏。金巴兰的沙滩烧烤是当地一绝,一边品尝各式海鲜,一边看落日将如写意画法的大师泼墨将海天染成了一片绚绚丽剔透的红紫色。远处机场的跑道向海中延伸,飞机如流星划过天海交界,如旧日峥嵘码头有勇士扬帆起航亦有游子凯旋归航。夜幕中繁星渐起,沙滩上烛光点点,咸湿的风轻轻抚过脸庞,激昂的浪轻轻吟唱,叫人沉浸在这身心灵的饕餮,仿佛堕入了一个永不醒来的仲夏夜之梦 清晨早起,沿海滩边跨马徐行,羡慕当地人策马飞奔的矫健,自己的小马驹只缓缓的被人牵引时而小跑几步就紧张的我浑身是汗。然而闲散踱步,马蹄踏得浪花起倒也在怡然自得。再过几天,就是巴厘岛的传统节日“魔鬼节”。传说这一天魔鬼会从整个岛的上空飞过,因为魔鬼喜好亮光所以整个巴厘岛都熄灯静寂,所有商店、酒家全部关门打烊,甚至在这一天里机场都没有起降的航班,家家户户闭门不出,只有魔鬼节大游行的人们举着各式魔鬼敲锣打鼓穿街过巷。所以路边随处可见为大游行准备的雕像,据说每家的男孩子自懂事起就开始跟父辈学习这门手艺,成年之后自然就负责起本家制作魔鬼雕像的任务,看着这些形态各异栩栩如生的庞然大物,叫人不禁钦佩这淳朴民族的智慧。比硕大的魔鬼雕像更壮观的,是满城飘荡的彩旗,原来适逢巴厘岛大选前夕,各个党派的候选人都在街边巷角拉起了招牌,候选人明媚的笑容对每个过路人绽放,只需在门口竖一把大旗就表明了支持的党派。我们苦苦追求探索的民主之路,似乎用一种近乎原始的简单粗暴方式实现着~民主的最大志便是位于岛中心的小婆罗浮屠。小婆罗浮屠实质是一座为纪念巴厘岛脱离荷兰殖民统治的抗争纪念碑,也是整个巴厘岛最高的建筑,佛教群塔的外观虽然没有爪哇岛上真正的婆罗浮屠气势磅礴,却也算得上壮观雄伟,登至塔尖,俯瞰半个巴厘岛,近处绿树掩映妖娆红墙,远方海天共享壮丽一色,万种风情尽收眼底。路边随处可见闲散的放学儿童,据说巴厘岛的孩子们只上半天课,其余时间全部嬉笑玩闹好不快活,其实何止儿童,就连成人,都三三两两坐在路边专门设立的发呆亭中,只为发呆。在这个只有拜拜最重要的国家,除了早中晚三次的敬奉好像真的无事可干,就连法律都为之通融。因为岛上主要交通工具是摩托,岛民又喜欢骑得飞快所以不戴头盔是重罚,但若你穿了拜拜的衣服,裹了传统的头巾,就视作敬拜的穿戴而可以不带头盔。神说,你为何事而担忧呢,你看那树上的鸟儿,神且叫他有吃食,何况是神最爱的儿女呢。([]
在08奥运年的盛夏,奥运火炬即将传递到丽江的前夕,我们一群网上约好的驴伴,通过丽江云行户外俱乐部的组织共同来到了向往已久的丽江古城,开始为期半个月的彩云之南的自助游旅行,当我第一天踏上丽江古城,就被这具有悠久历史和灿烂的民族文化丽江古城所吸引。白墙青瓦的明清建筑,小桥流水的高原水乡,浓郁民族特色的纳西族风情,如同油画般湛蓝色的天空,都令我们如流年忘返,在都市钢筋水泥森林中呆惯了的我们,见到如此美,仿佛来到了另一个时空,来到了真正的世外桃源。在丽江时间的仿佛是静止的,可以不必想那些繁杂的工作,不必被紧张的生活节奏压得喘不过气来, 在这里可以晒晒太阳,喝喝茶,真正的享受宁静、古朴、舒适的生活。这是我见到的最大片的古城建筑,让我觉得很震憾,感叹丽江古城名不虚传!大片大片的明清时期的古建筑,仿佛自遥远时空而来,错入今日古城。丽江古城据说有七百多年的历史了,但在很早以前默默无闻,无人知晓,使丽江古城出名的是在九六年发生的次大地震,这次地震虽然摧毁了这座古城部人的家园,但让世人从此知道了丽江,也因祸得福,成就了丽江古城成为世界文化遗产。这是***词的:世界文化遗产—丽江古城在古城的任意位置,都可以看到高耸入云的玉龙雪山!这是进入古城的帜—大水车。很多人知道古城都有是从大水车开始的,最早我也是看到宣传丽江古城第一张图片就是大水车,这次亲眼见到,就迫不及待的拍了下来。大水车是古城的入口,进入古城的水流也是从这里进入古城的,古城很大,错综复杂,但据说掌握一个简单规律就不会迷路:顺水进城,逆水出城。看到流进古城的水推动巨大的水车,就明白了这句话的意思。丽江古城没有城墙,也没有对称的中轴线,街道的走向更是没有规律可寻,初到古城的人,感觉哪里都一样,如同一个巨大的迷宫,一会就找不到方向了。不过据经验的驴友说,古城的中心是四方街,只要找到了四方街,就基本能确定方位了。这是清晨的四方街,我之前一直以为是条长长的街,原来不是,四方街只是一个小小的方场,在很久以前这里曾是古城的集贸市场,现在也是古城最热闹的地方。清晨的四方街,游客稀少,比较适合拍照。到了中午四方街就开始热闹起来,穿着民族服装的纳西老太太,自发的组织起在四方街跳传统的舞蹈,吸引众多游客驻足观看,一些游人忍不住参予其中,手拉手与她们一起欢快的跳起来在丽江每天可见湛蓝的天空,如同水洗过一样,这是在城市所见不到的,就算是有点蓝天,也是带着灰蒙蒙。 圣洁的玉龙雪山,位于古城的北面,是丽江纳西族的神山,终年积雪。蓝蓝的天,洁白的云朵,幽静的古城、清澈的溪流,新鲜纯净的空气,多么理想的人居环境,看来这里才是最适合于人类居住的地方。我们的都市,环境破坏严重,空气污浊,高得离谱的房价,与这里比起来,更本不是什么高质量的生活,看来我迟早有一天会要逃离城市。挂满红灯笼的酒吧一条街是古城的另一大特色,很早以前就听说丽江是艳遇之城,酒吧估计就是滋生艳遇的重要场所吧。不过这里的泡吧、艳遇呀都与小女子无关,我是冲着丽江古城的人文风情来的,我更看重这里的自然之美,白天的酒吧一条街,基本上没有什么人,显得很清幽!从大水车来的水流把酒吧一条街一分为二,中间用小木桥连接起来,水渠傍种着各种花草以及翠绿的柳树。酒吧一条街大约有十几家大大小小的酒吧,每个酒吧的名字都有一翻来历。]这是古城最早的酒吧—樱花屋,据说也是艳遇指数最高的酒吧,没试过,不清楚!这个是“一米阳光”,我就是从孙俪主演的这部电视剧,第一次知道有丽江这么美的地方!“千里走单骑”这是大导演老谋子在丽江拍的一部由高仓健主演的电影,看来这里酒吧的老板个个精明,善于借鸡生蛋哦!夜幕降临,在多彩的灯光点缀下,古城的夜景更显妖饶晚上的酒吧一条街成为了古城最热闹的地方,一排排红色的灯笼散发出暧昧、诱惑的光芒,在灯红酒绿之间, 各色红男绿女穿梭其中。震耳欲聋的音乐声,早已打破了这里白天的宁静,创造出歌舞升平的气氛!不过我很厌倦这种嘈杂的感觉,感觉和城市的D厅没什么两样,所以也只在外面看看,没有兴趣进入其中。早早的睡了,也是为了早早的起来,清晨的古城,街上没有一个人,商铺也全都关着门,这才找到了古城的宁静的感觉,古城的街道都是五花石铺砌而成,散发出冷冷的光泽,默默记录的古城历史。古城的建筑全都是土木结构,连成一排,而且都不会超过二层,据说这是为了防震,想起来,丽江古城就是地震才出名的。现在古城据说还有三万多长住人口,不过外来人点的比例也越来越高,原住民是越来越少,所以只能在古城深入才可以见到一些当地人的民居由于旅游开发,当地的原住民把自家的房子租给外来人做旅社或者商铺,自己则拿着高昂的租金到新城去买商品房,住了一辈子木房子的本地人现在更喜欢新城的楼房。如同钱钟书的《围城》里的人一样,城里的人想出去,城外的人想进来。做为初次来丽江的我,也有一种冲动,想找一个古老的小院,留下来,当一回丽江人! 丽江古城是超大,但开发的也很比较商业化,但旅游开发本就是一把双刃剑,如果不开发不宣传,我们又怎能知道有这么美丽的地方,这里一直会贫穷落后下去,不被世人所知。但宣传好的,名气大了,来的游客多了,又破坏掉这里原汁原味的感觉。最明显的开发就是丽江古城的客栈,据说现在有上千家,从几十元到数千元各种档次的都有,满足不同层次人的需求。当然没有这些客栈,我们就只能住新城,不能真真实实的感受古城的魅力,这里可能有人又会抱怨为什么古城里不搞一些酒店方便游客,但客栈多了,古城的原住民都搬到新城去了,这样古城又被外来文化所占据,总之在开发和保护上,我们的政府有太多的事情需要做。在来之前我也做了不少功课,力求找一家性价比高的客栈,我对客房的要求首先是要干净卫生,其次是服务要好,当然价格也不能太高。毕竟我也是工薪阶层,不是拿公款来腐败的,看了很多家,有些条件真的不错,但价格太高了,都要200-300,还有一些便宜的,但感觉太破旧,出来玩,住的很重要,总不能在这方面虐待自己吧。后来终于选定一家驴友们都推荐的丽江云行丽江户外俱乐部,看了相片,感觉不错,价格也符合自己的心里价位,于是上网联系,客服很热情的回答了我的各种问,第一感觉就是他们很专业,这是他们客栈的院子,据说他们有三家分店,这家是最好的,院子虽然不是很大,但白墙青瓦,飞檐翘角,传统的纳西族民居。充满精致与温馨,有种小家碧玉的感觉!我是从这里查到这家客栈 www.sanjiangclub.com 驴友都评价不错,我发现自己的选择也是明智的!客栈位于一条小巷内,距古城中心四方街也很近,虽然处于中心地带,但这里一点也不嚣闹,非常宁静,很适合我这种喜欢安静的人。房间也不错,温馨浪漫,设施齐全,有液晶电脑和免费电话,符合我需要天天上网和电话与公司保持联系,省了我不少长话费。最有意思的,当我睡觉的时间,居然发现房顶开了天窗,拉开天窗的帘子,可以看到满天的繁星,在城市灰蒙蒙的天空中,连月亮都难得一见,更别说星星的,看来丽江环境确实保持的不错,光看晚上的纯净的星空就知道了。丽江的时间似乎是静止的,在这里一切都过得很慢,没有城市的暄嚣与浮躁,躺在摇椅晒晒太阳也是一种享受,这是我最喜欢坐的摇椅! 这家丽江云行户外俱乐部经常组织驴友结伴出去玩,我选择了一条他们推荐的最经典的一条线路,香格里拉、梅里雪山、雨崩六日游。“香格里拉”一词,是1933年美国小说家詹姆斯·希尔顿(James Hilton)在小说《消失的地平线》中所描绘的一块永恒和平宁静的土地。是个有雪峰峡谷、金碧辉煌且充满神秘色彩的庙宇、被森林环绕着的宁静的湖泊、美丽的大草原及牛羊成群的世外桃源。我去的地方有没有这么美了,但看了他们给我看拍的相片,我决定走这条线路,同行的还有网上约好的一些驴友,不过大部分都是女生,我们这个队女多男少,用他们的话来说,就是美女团,总之我们都对我接下来的行程充满着期待。这是我们行程的第一个景点,好象是香格拉观景台,具体不记得了,不过在这里视野开阔,可以同时见到玉龙和哈巴雪山。右边是香格里拉的哈巴雪山,左边是丽江的玉龙雪山,中间是著名的金山沙,这是哈巴雪山主峰!右边是玉龙,第一次见到这么高的雪山很是激动,不过领队说,当我们见到梅里雪山时,就觉得这不算什么雪山了。观景台下的一座小寺庙,不过我们没有进去烧香,因为我们对香格里拉的松赞林寺更有兴趣离开了观景台,我们来到了著名的长江第一湾,金沙江来到了丽江的石鼓,突然来了一个百多度的急转弯,掉头折向东北,形成罕见的“V”字形大弯,人们称此为“长江第一湾”。 正是因为这个湾改变了长江的流向,成为哺育中华大地的母亲河,可惜相机的广角不够,拍不全,不能完全展示出长江第一湾的波澜壮阔!万里长江,从“世界屋脊”青藏高原奔腾而下,由滇西北进入云南,与澜沧江、怒江一起,一直并肩在横断山脉的高山深谷中穿行,形成举世闻名的三江并流奇观。金沙江是长沙的上游,以江为界这边是丽江区域,对面则是香格里拉区域。感叹云南真是风水宝地,世界奇观在此风云集会,难怪旅游资原如此丰富!金沙经过长沙第一湾后,便流入玉龙和哈巴雪山之间,形成世界最深的峡谷之一虎跳峡! 这是高耸入云的玉龙雪山金沙江如同一条碧绿的飘带穿行在两座海拨高于5000米的雪山之间,江面距离雪山顶峰的垂直落差有3000多米,难怪有世界最深的峡谷之称!从哈巴雪山冰川融化的水形成的瀑布,这条瀑布的水落入虎跳峡,与金沙江融为一体,然后金沙江一直向东流,最后到达上海,汇入东海,看来这条瀑布也是长江的小源头之一了!虎跳峡分为上中下三段,这是虎跳峡的上虎跳,也是平常旅行社到达的地方,江中那块巨石就是虎跳石,据说以前有一只猛虎就是从对面的悬崖跃到这块巨石上,然后跳到对面的岸边,这也是虎跳峡名字的由来。绝大部分游客就在这里欣赏虎跳峡的风彩。但熟不知,更壮观震憾事实上是在中虎跳峡,但出于安全和成本的问,旅行社都不会前往中虎跳峡。还好我选择的是户外俱乐部,可以跟着他们去虎跳峡最壮观的中虎跳。延绵数十公里长的虎跳峡谷从公路上拍到的中虎跳峡谷底这是中虎跳峡的天桥,在峡谷之间横空出世一座桥,从谷底向上看,仿佛在天上。事实上这是一座公路桥,连接峡谷两岸,这样虎跳峡的村民,也可以开车出峡谷了,更多的生活物资也可以通过公路运进虎跳峡!中虎跳峡的一线天,大自然的鬼斧神工把江两岸悬崖削的几乎垂直于江面,象一扇巨大的石门,迎接金沙江的汹涌的激流!滚滚的长江水,奔腾而下,激流形成的巨大声响,震耳欲聋,响彻整个峡谷!激流撞击在岩石上激起阵阵水雾,飘在脸上,清爽宜人!中虎跳峡谷底的巨石,据说这是第二虎跳峡,不清楚老虎也从这里跳过来过。现在水量较小,石头露出来,如果到了汛期,水量大的可以把整个石头都盖住!波涛汹涌的长江水一直向东流,哺育长江两岸的人民,成为华夏大地的第一大江!徙步中虎跳峡的栈道,栈道是古人在悬崖上凿开的路,约有一米多宽,我们必须小心翼贴着里面走,朝外则是数百米深的悬崖,悬崖的谷底则是虎跳峡急湍的金沙江!虎跳峡最惊险的一段,中虎跳峡的天梯,天梯几乎是垂直的,高约二十多米,没有什么防护措施,还是比较危险的,不过傍边有小路,可以绕道过去,一些有恐高的驴友都不敢爬这个天梯!胆大的驴友都上此天梯,当然这其中也包括我,谁叫我天生喜欢挑战。事实上爬天梯也没那么恐怖,只要不看下面,一口气爬上去,也不觉得有什么!徙步完虎跳峡,我们就开始前住香格里拉,从虎跳峡到香格里拉约有二个多小时的车程,不过路上的风景也不错,这里在公路上拍到的雪山!这是香格里拉的哈巴雪山主峰,海拨:5396米,这座雪山终年积雪,从远看一顶皇冠,在香格里拉有“金子之花”的美称。因为这座雪山的难度较低,每年有很多登山爱好者,来登这座雪山,也是入门级的登顶雪山!我们的车马上就到了梦想中的香格里拉,这是在车上拍到的香格里拉的村庄,领队说现在是香格里拉杜鹃花开得最旺的时候,不久就能到花海了!([
