第二次在8264上发帖找伴,临行前两个礼拜,才发的帖,详见召集帖https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1204496-3-1.html,急匆匆组了队。其实对我这样的懒人而言,实在是因为赶不上4.6小豆他们的队,而我又刚好要赶在4月底前赶回成都,这个时段找遍8264,绿野,磨房都没有合适的队伍跟,悲催!看来只有硬起头皮自己来,其实我是多么多么的希望有组织可以依靠,而我只需要走,不停的往前走,那才是我要的幸福户外生活。 而且发帖,从一开始准备走贡嘎,我也就准备了只留点照片在空间占个位,没事了自己看看,留给关注的朋友看看,就没想过要发帖。对我而言,发帖是一件多么悲惨的,饱受折磨的事情。花那么多时间码字,回忆,整理照片,坐在电脑前,我会发狂的。从玩户外这么多年,05年开始的,我就写过两篇帖子,但是只有一篇是写完的,另一篇就半途夭折了。而且都是在转山的路上就已经用日记的方式写在了纸上了,回来只是打上去,配点照片。出发贡嘎以后,从一出发时就安排了我们的小美女,还是在校大学生的小许负责本次的游记。但是,现在我一定要写,而且还要坐在电脑前凭借回忆原原本本的写上去。 以上啰嗦了那么多,就是因为有些话,我不得不说,不吐不快,所以我不得不写。先介绍下我们的队友。 小许 远近 谢雨 土狼 土狼+1 万里,可惜我这没有他的单人照,后面唯一的一张合影有他的一点影子,队友们有他照片的帮我贴吧。还有说明一下,我们成队为了包车方便是五个人,土狼和+1是他们先一天就到了老榆林,但是我们出发前就有联系,觉得可以一块走就等齐一块,其实是他们两兄弟在前面等着我们,辛苦了。 蔚蓝 闲话少说,我们来边图边叙。 一进到日乌且沟不久,就见到了传说中的红石滩,一个一个的红石滩,或深或浅,间断分隔。自然的和外面人工的就是不一样! 每天起床有太阳照着是多么幸福的时光,连那个影子都那么绚丽,这丝丝缕缕的阳光,让我想起我们翻过日乌且垭口后的那一晚,那一日,我们就在大雪纷飞中拔足狂奔。 而事后想起来,矛盾就是从第一晚的扎帐开始的。我的想法是我们从水电站开始徒步,大致一个小时左右就可以到格西草原扎帐,我们的攻略上也是这样安排的。我们晚上800从水电站出发,走了大约半个钟,在一个平台处,万里先是说他上去打望下,我本来在前面领路走的,然后就是大家在等他下来,10分钟左右他来了,然后就说今晚不走了,就在这扎吧,我把我的意思和大家说明了一下,然后表明我不算是领队,大家按户外的规矩投票吧,那边谢雨最先举起了手同意就地扎帐,然后是小许,我看了看远近,她没说话,我说那就扎吧。当晚下车的时候我就觉得头沉,过远近帐篷和大家沟通了下我就回帐篷睡了。 沟通挺搞笑的。明天继续! 继续我们出发第一晚的沟通,全队五个人,三男二女,我简单地介绍了下我们的行程,计划,再次和大家确认下,这里面谢雨和小许算是新驴,也是第一次走长线和第一次高海拔徒步,远近是爬过雪山的老驴,也就是我眼中的雪山派,万里,老驴,据他介绍是深圳登协的,俱乐部商业领队。蔚蓝,老驴,第一次带队走这样的长线。这次大家出来,我不是领队,首先要申明,我只是自己想走这条线,约几个朋友一起走,好玩,也可以分摊车费。其次,大家出来户外,尤其像我们这种重装徒步的,大家一定要了解自己。明天22号我们的目是上日乌且,23号翻垭口到磨西沟,24号冬季牧场,25号贡嘎寺,26号中午上木居,已经和多吉大叔约好了他们的小面包26号中午11点左右在那接我们,定金都已经放了,订车也是大家在老榆林就集体同意的。万里接上说,那要在子梅垭口住一晚。我看了一圈大家,没人有异议,那就稍微修改下,24号赶到贡嘎寺,25号子梅垭口扎帐,其他的不变,这一趟,我关注三个点,日乌且垭口,贡嘎寺,子梅垭口,其他的无所谓。从攻略上来看,明后天会比较辛苦。还有就是遇上大家有分歧的地方,我们大家投票选择,我说完了。 接下来就是万里同学,他说,首先,蔚蓝是我们的总领队,大家有什么事,要听从安排。其次,高海拔徒步,可能每个人高反情况不同,走到哪儿算哪,我们是出来玩的。当时听了那话,我第一感觉就是我们五个人的小队,什么总领队!未必还要整一排的副领队什么的。还有我们是重装穿越,什么走哪就算哪,那我们还做计划干嘛,还重装干嘛!在我眼里,重装就意味着能吃苦,想吃苦,以苦为乐,起码那个几天是。只是当时这些话没去说而已!当时就再次重复了没有领队这个说法,我们大家一起玩,只是前期攻略我在做而已,大家还是按投票做选择。万里听我那么说,又提了个:那大家就试下每个人轮流一天做领队,让大家体验下做领队的辛苦。我当时就没接那个话。心想,这个领队有什么权力嘛?一天到晚都在赶路看风景,有分歧了也是大家投票。而且让两个新人去做领队!完了我就回帐去睡了,我睡的是万里的帐,他们四个在远近的帐里接着海聊。这儿还有个小插曲,当时扎下帐时,我就和万里说,你要抽烟,尽量到外面抽,我不喜欢闻烟味。万里是把烟枪,他听了就跑远近帐去抽了,抽到多晚回来的?反正我早睡着了。到了行程的后面,远近一直策蔚蓝睡的帐,坐的车是不能抽烟的!说到我也觉得自己有点过分一样,把他从自己的帐篷里赶出去一样,其实我没赶哦!几个人无聊枯糙的走在沟中,一走就是两天,偶尔回头望望,就一直是这几个山峰垛那儿,听那个雪山派美女一直说说,后面最高的是什么田海子峰,是她的下一个目。我貌似没一点印象,哈哈,除了穿越贡嘎,我们道不同! 传说中的虫草,可别只找到美女哦 小荷才露尖尖角,小贡嘎 阳光如此多娇,引无数白云竟折腰 从我们扎帐的地方出发十几分钟就到了格西草原 经过格西草原后不远,我们追上了前面的土狼哥俩,从这两队变一队,我们变成七人队。 还有从出发地就一起走过来的两位当地挖虫草的村民,一路和他们聊过来,他们也是认为现在过垭口,难。而且我们今天要赶到上日乌且,不可能。 17:30,我们终于到了下日乌且处的一处废弃的牛棚处,只剩下半围的一堆石头了。万里提议今天不走了,小许有点高反,头晕。其实这时候离天黑还有老长一段时间,我们对下日乌且也没有明确的地。攻略上称从下到上日乌且还需2个小时,如果这儿算下日乌且,我们今天完全可以按计划赶到的。我说,大家看看吧,如果今天扎帐在下日乌且,那明天我们翻垭口前的体力消耗将会很大,而且时间上对我们也挺不利,我们必须赶在中午时间翻垭口。而且前面是什么状况,垭口前垭口后是什么状况,我们没有人走过,所以尽量多留足点余地给自己。大家都比较纠结,土狼那边那个兄弟,体力也比较不乐观,因为体重的缘故,他上到高原喘得厉害,土狼给他从两岔河租个马到下日乌且,牧民就问他要了五百,其实攻略上这也就一个多钟的路程。但是这哥们精神很乐观,他随我们,我们走,他也走,我们扎,他们也扎。问关键还是回到我们这,我建议大家考虑后面的路情,尽量赶到上日乌且,但是万里提出不走了,而小谢和小许无条件的跟他的意见,远近无所谓,不发表意见,我随大家吧。只能如此! 当夜因为有土狼他们带的腊肉,我们这边貌似都带的干粮,我带的鱼啊肉的都是那种超市买的包装的,对那种家用的有天然的亲近感,我很自然的就跑那边撑肉吃去了。小谢,小许和万里三个人在谢雨的帐篷那边弄饭吃,我们四个围在远近的帐篷里烧肉吃。今天晚上我都头痛有越来越厉害的趋势,让我想起EBC的几个观景点的苦痛,脑门两边使劲往脑袋中间挤,这样的头痛就是我的高反的典型代表。土狼的席梦思抬了一个放在帐篷里,我坐在里面,身体挺舒服,比他们任何一个都要舒服吧!但是头痛。土狼和他兄弟在折腾肉和面,我和远近就等吃就ok,玩户外这么长,似乎凡事都在亲力亲为,没享受过这种待遇一样,只是现在才反省过来的。外面慢慢的下起雪粒子,越来越大,后面又转成雨,尤其是晚上我回帐篷睡了,耳听着外面的雨转变成瓢泼大雨,担心扎在坡上的远近的A塔被水泡,防潮垫和睡袋全被水泡,那觉可真没法睡了,让万里大声叫应她,万一不行就大家挤好了,只是没有一点回声,雨的声音太大。 是夜,因为雨雪,因为有啤酒,因为有美女,我们四个好像聊了很多很多,聊到很晚了大家都不肯散一样。而关于明天关于贡嘎的,大家心头都沉着呢,估计不乐观,我们转回老榆林泡温泉算。 早上照例是小谢和万里最先起来,他们两个真的好精神,在外面转了一圈又一圈,我们还在睡着呢!我们都喜欢睡到太阳晒帐篷,睡袋,才有想爬出来的精神。 他们两个兜完了,来到帐篷前,外面昨晚下好厚的一层雪,估计垭口上,路上又平添一层。万里提议可能日乌且垭口过不了,改走盘盘山垭口,小谢也建议这样。我听了,认为这样不妥,第一我们没做盘盘山的攻略,第二,那边时间会比现在的路线多两天时间,我们的干粮和时间都不够。而且,从整队的行进速度的随心所欲,和昨晚恶劣的天气,我都只想下撤到老榆林泡着了。他们认为盘盘山应该只有一条路,而且刚好有一队重庆驴友走盘盘山,但是我认为盘盘山怎么可能只有一条路,哪座山都绝不止一条路,这个太冒险。而重庆队有租马,我们重装是没有办法跟得上的。如果大家不走日乌且,我就选择下撤,想走盘盘山的就跟万里走吧,但是我建议你们到两岔河租马,有马就有向导。当时三个人的小碰头就是这样了,结果就是他们两种选择,盘盘山和下撤,我的选择:日乌且和下撤。 等到大家都起来了,我提议大家都思考一下,我们下一步怎么弄。这时,万里同学很激动的说,他今天上午哪里都不去了,挖虫草去!顺便休整!我还未及吭声,平时不怎么表态的远近高兴地附和道,那我去你帐篷里睡觉去,昨晚一点都没睡好。小谢和小许一看,说那也挖虫草去,我说,你们要挖,要休息,你们呆着,我下撤!说完大家散了,万里和小许挖虫草去了,小谢去沟里拍照片。 1050分,蔚蓝,远近,和土狼兄弟两我们四个继续上路往日乌且垭口进发。至于事情结局为什么又发生了这么大的改变,请继续关注! 一路向日乌且垭口,只是图片上的不是我们,而是挖虫草的村民,这时节去,家家户户都上山挖去了,要找个司机,向导之类的,可费老劲了。 在下日乌且,发生了最滑稽最重大的一幕,我们七个人的队伍分成两队,一队在原地挖虫草,一队继续向日乌且垭口进发,我们四个整装重新出发,将近夭折的贡嘎穿越走出最坚实的那步 就在这雪地里撒把野 上完长长地碎石坡,是一个小垭口,一路顺着小水沟向前,就到了路书上小豆他们扎帐的巨石旁了,此时,大雪纷飞,我们四个队形严谨。 再往前,就是日乌且沟的尽头,远处连绵的就是日乌且峰和----。 未到山前,我们就要从右侧的山坡上往上往前横切了,爬升正式开始 上垭口前的最后见证人,专职挖虫草,他介绍的和小豆路书上的差不多,垭口雪到了大腿,估计很难过,建议不要去了。看我们那么坚决,告诉我们翻过前面那个小雪坡,再到视线尽头那个大雪坡,后面就是垭口,大雪坡前都有他的脚印,让我们跟着走。到此,看来一切都对得上,我的心稍安定一点。 一路上坡横切,间或会是灌木丛,日乌且沟慢慢掉在了脚下,小贡嘎也慢慢成为了背影 我们需要穿越左侧的雪地,才能爬上左侧的小雪坡,所以小,是因为她后面的更大,我们走近她时,看不到头顶和脚下出路在何方!只有上面,还是上面。这时的天,和纷飞大雪似乎一点关系都没有 路,就在脚下。 我们就一直坐在这,傻傻的等。从1520一直到1700,等着土狼他们两个上来,其间甚至发生了几轮激烈地争执。远近的观点是大家是一个队,就要等齐了一起走,前面就是雪线了。我则坚持,土狼他朋友在下面沟里已经是疲惫不堪地跟,这回一上坡准没戏了,估计这一趟就是我们两个的事了,你要上,我们就上,你要不上了,我更不上了。远近还是坚持就算他们不上了,也该上来和我们说声。这道理俺懂,俺也知道,这个结果,七个人的队,只剩下我们两个上去,就算过不去,起码我们去试了,很难让自己心里接受!但是大好下午的一个多小时,不就是最好的证明!我们实在是不能再等下去了!要么下撤到沟底和他们一起下撤,要么就是往前,尽量往前,再找合适的地儿扎帐。只是拗不过她的殷殷期盼,我只有轻装回头去找土狼他们两个,回头近300—400m,是一处高台,在那几乎可以望到沟底,扫视,呼喊,毫无反应。就这样,她彻底绝望了,我们才重新上路。后来下山后和土狼联系上,确实是他朋友走不动了,决定放弃,下撤到沟底,我们的呼喊他们能够听到,只是他们的回应我们听不到,风大,逆风。 看上去,我们离沟底是多么多么的近,但是我们走上来,很辛苦,甚至和土狼他们连告别的话都没能说上 雪地上徒步,让我想起在Cho La Par,我最不擅长的就是这个,一会会的工夫,已是脚发软,不知是走雪地特费劲,还是心里鸭梨山大,而且这个小雪坡的雪已经比那个垭口的雪厚得多了。我是男人,当然得我来开路! 雪坡上来了只是后面的还是雪坡。我们不知道后面等着的会是什么?更糟的是,挖虫草人的足迹慢慢地就没了,在白茫茫而刺眼的雪坡中我们迷失了方向,只记得往上,往上。 前面的坡太陡,我们已经折腾了一天,我们得省着点,选择横切,希望可以绕到垭口前 左侧,沟的对面就是万古不化的冰川,在阳光下呈蓝色,不时会有轰然塌落的巨响([]

穿越昔日日本(江户东京建筑园)1993年,在东京都立小金井公园内开园的江户东京建筑园是一座户外型博物馆。建筑园占地约7公顷,园中排列着从江户时代到昭和初期的29栋复原建筑物,按年份排列,也就是从1652年到1942年期间的建筑。许多历史建筑物难以在建造的当地保存,却又有着极高的文化价值,建筑园的使命就是将这些历史建筑物按原样移建,并在此基础上进行保存和展示。建筑园是模仿东京都的地形而设计的。东区是商人和手艺人居住的平民区;中心区域是江户时期武士及明治时代以后(1868年~)官员及实业家等人的居住区;西区则再现了田园式的农户居住的武藏野高地。在这种独具匠心设计的园内,不同建筑保持着各自固有的环境氛围,所以在建筑园里散步,不由得产生一种时光倒流的感觉。在茅草屋顶的民宅里,每天都有志愿者在地炉里生火,这样做一方面是用烟熏防止茅草生虫,另一方面使得建筑园的来客追忆起当时的农家生活。当迈入东区平民区,一种奇妙的观光气氛便会大幅增加。之所以产生这种感觉,是因为这里有着明治时代的石造警察局建筑和街灯等物品,还有在商店的货架上摆放着仿制明治时代的商品,这不仅仅是建筑物的再现,也是将当时的生活情景进行再现。这正是江户东京建筑园的一大特征。(摘自網絡)公園內深秋的景色公園內建
斐济,南太平洋上的群岛国家,靠近国际日期变更线。老婆一直想找个大一点的海岛走走,要有美丽的沙滩要有小城市转转,人又不能太拥挤,思来想去FIJI转几天吧,国人可能会少一些沙滩上人头也会少一点吧。 地点选好了,设计路线吧,南京出发,只有两条路线,上海--首尔--楠迪(大韩航空),南京--香港--楠迪(斐济航空)。我选择了斐济航空,因为价格稍微便宜一些,一人香港往返8300港币左右,斐济航空官网直接信用卡订票。 https//www.fijiairways.com/ 酒店呢,本来是在BOOKING上预订了HILTON的房间,后来在新浪微博上找到了@没有蛀牙的LEO,他是斐济蓝洋旅游服务公司的运营总监,人很好跟我介绍了游玩细节,通过他们公司预订客房要比网上订便宜,由于需要提前预先支付给他们公司2天的房费,我还特意去银行做了境外汇款,HILTON的一卧室海景套房313美元一天含早。最后我很喜欢这个套房,直接住了4天主岛,没有去外岛住。 废话不多说了,慢慢上图。乱拍:500W手机,1000W可下水的佳能卡片机,1000W的佳能入门单反南京出发,春秋航空飞香港,春秋是在是坐着痛苦,膝盖直接顶着前面椅背位置太小了,痛苦的2个小时。个子稍微高一点的真心不适合坐春秋。 搞不懂,最近天天有航空交通管制,莫名其妙延误一个半小时。到HK啦,排队入关,9转18弯人虽然多但是前行速度还是比较快的!香港人效率值得赞扬。斐济人就慢的要死。找到FIJI AIRWAYS换登机牌,之前为了找个好位置拍照,已经研究了空客A330的座位跟机翼的位置,在网上选择了座位。我们的飞机,很显眼的FIJI字样。餐食还不错,主食是鸡肉配土豆泥!FIJI在国际日期变更线边上,比北京时间早4个小时,斐济第二天早上7点半到就是北京时间3点半,再加上晚上坐着睡不着确实有点累。 斐济主岛维提岛,首都是右下角的苏瓦。飞机到楠迪机场,黄颜色的记是我们酒店的位置。放到一张海湾的卫星图,右边能看到楠迪机场,图片南边两条主干道相交的地方是楠迪市区,很小,比国内一个镇子还要小。西部的港湾就是酒店区,索菲特、威斯汀、喜来登、希尔顿,还有一家不晓得叫什么名字。港湾特写,右侧伸出去的半岛上排列整齐的白色房子就是我们住的 Fiji Beach Resort And Spa Managed By Hilton。下面会附上我在飞机上的航拍照。图片中内陆的港湾叫Denarau港口。五星级酒店区,跟 Denarau港口 伸出去半岛,拥有最长的沙滩!BULA~我们到啦! 这两天上传图片都有问。开始有热带的味道了!香蕉树、椰子树路边很多。我们住的酒店,前台很小但是很有特色。度假村最高的也就三层楼,很多房子就两层楼。我们的房间,楼上顶头第一间,阳台虽然没有躺椅但是有一个BBQ烧烤炉子,这个我喜欢!房间说是要下午3点才能拿到,存了包就往港口走。那有很多餐馆、游客中心、超市、商店。就酒店走过去也就15分钟。酒店对面也是海湾都是资本主义的别墅跟私人游艇!4个小时的时差,我一夜没怎么睡,赶紧找店吃点东西吧。港口遇到个东北厨子聊了好久,厨子打算回国发展了。就在他家吃吧,门头忘记拍照了,就拍了隔壁的店名因为比较特殊。港口貌似就这一家中餐店。BY THE WAY,港口用美元换斐济币比机场换要实惠。第一顿饭,点了只龙虾98,炒了个牛肉,加青菜。加小费总共130,折合人民币400多点。当地的素菜着实难吃,可能是水土问。我的阳台!第一天的夕阳起居室,拉门后面是卧室,卧室再里面还有个拉门是浴室,干湿分开并且淋雨跟浴缸都是分开的。([]

可可西里自然保护区是我国目前建立的面积最大,海拔最高,野生动物资源最为丰富的国家级自然保护区之一,被誉为“世界第三极”和青藏高原珍稀野生动物基因库。 可可西里自然保护区位于青海省西南部的玉树藏族自治州境内,东经89º25’~94˚05΄,北纬34º19’~36º16。其范围为昆仑山脉以南,乌兰乌拉山以北,东起青藏公路,西迄省界。保护区西与西藏自治区相接,南同格尔木唐古拉乡毗邻,北和新疆维吾尔族自治区相连,东至青藏公路,总面积4.5万平方公里。 可可西里地处青藏高原腹地,平均海拔在4600米以上,最高峰为北缘昆仑山布喀达板峰(亦称新青峰或莫诺马哈峰),海拔6860米;最低点在豹子峡(昆仑山南鹿红水河横穿博卡雷克拐弯处),海拔4200米。区内地势南北高,中部低,西部高而东部低。可可西里山和冬布勒山横贯本区中部,山地间有两个宽谷湖盆带,地势较平坦。海拔5500米~6000米以上的山地,有现代冰川发育。如布喀达坂峰(6860)米,马兰山(6813)米,少数超过5600米的山峰也有小规模冰川分布,如东岗扎日(5882)米,冰川总面积达1700多平方公里。 可可西里是羌塘高原内流湖区和长江北源水系交汇地区。东部为楚玛河为主的长江北源水系,主要为雨水、地下水补给,水量较小,河流往往是季节性河流。西部和北部是以湖泊为中心的内流水系。区内湖泊众多,据统计,面积大于1平方公里的湖泊有107个,总面积3825平方公里,其中面积200平方公里以上的湖泊有7个。最大的为乌兰乌拉湖,湖水面积为544.5平方公里,是青海省第四大湖。可可西里湖泊大部分为咸水湖或半咸水湖,矿化度较高。 区内现代冰川广布,冰川总面积2000平方公里,著名的有布喀达坂冰帽冰川,马兰山冰川、岗扎日冰川等,是“中华水塔”的宝贵冰川。本地区有许多奇特的自然景观,如山谷冰川,地表冻丘、冻帐、石林、石环、多彩的高原湖泊,盐湖边盛开的朵朵“盐花”,以及现代冰川下热气蒸腾,水温高达91℃的沸泉群等,有机地组成了其他地区所不及的本区特有的地质资源。 本区气候特点是温度低、降水少、大风多、区域差异较大。境内年平均气温由东南向西北逐渐降低,在西金乌兰湖地区有一明显暖区,最暖区年均温为-4.10C,最冷为最西边的勒斜武担措,年均温为-10.00C(推算值),最低气温-46.40C,其它地区均在两者之间。 可可西里地区年平均降水量分布趋势是由东南向西北逐渐减少。在173~495毫米之间。本区风大,是全国风速高值区之一,在风力较弱的季节。西金乌兰湖附近仍出现瞬时风速为24.0米/秒的大风(1990年7月9日16时47分),年平均风速分布由东向西增大。区内的土壤类型简单,多为高山草甸土、高山草原土和高山寒漠土壤,其次为沼泽土,零星分布的有沼泽土、龟裂土、盐土、碱土和风沙土。土壤发育年轻。受冻融作用影响深刻。 区域内由于受到地理位置、地势高低、地形坡向及地表组成物质等各种水热条件分异因素的影响,自然景观自东南向西北呈现高寒草甸-高寒草原+高寒荒漠更替。其中高寒草原是主要类型。高寒冰缘植被也有较大面积的分布,高寒荒漠草原、高寒垫状植被和高寒荒漠有少量分布。高寒草甸、高寒沼泽仅分布在极个别的地区。可可西里地势高峻,空气稀薄,气压偏低,氧气稀薄,只有低海拔地区的一半,烧开水的沸点只有80多度,被称为“世界第三极”。自然环境严酷,气候恶劣,人类无法长期居住、生产和生活,因而保留了其原始的生态环境和独特的自然景观。 本区生物区系种类少,但青藏高原特有种比例大,且种群数量大。据多年观察,哺乳动物有29种,其中11种为青藏高原特有,鸟类53种,爬行类1种,鱼类6种。区内高等植物有102属,202种,其中青藏高原特有种84种,占全区种类的41.56%,其中属国家重点保护的一、二类野生动物就有20余种。包括大家熟知的野牦牛、藏羚羊、野驴、白唇鹿、棕熊等。本区的特有生物种类不但是我国的珍稀动植物,而且为世界上所嘱目,在学术上和自然保护上均十分重要. 以上资料择由《中国国家地理》杂志 2009年10月2日在青海省格尔木市休整一天,作高原适应并作连续穿越可可西里和阿尔金山两大无人区的准备,车子油箱全部加满油,给养车上的汽油和柴油备用油箱也全部加满,准备2桶50L的淡水,以及矿泉水若干箱,馕、面包等干粮,火腿肠、鸡爪等小吃,还有大米、面条,青菜以及宰杀好的两只羊。 格尔木地处青藏、青新、敦格公路和青藏铁路交汇处,为青海西部交通枢纽。南可通西藏,北可达甘肃河西走廊,西可去新疆,东可到省会西宁。是西藏通往祖国内地的重要中转站和物资集散地。 格尔木是蒙古语,意为“河流密集的地方”,地处青藏高原腹地,市区位于柴达木盆地中南部格尔木河冲积平原上,市区平均海拔2780米,全市人口27万,其中汉族人口占83%。 格尔木城雕 10月3日早上一切准备妥当,开始出发,可就在宾馆的停车场,给养的大车在倒车时刮到一旁的小车,保安费了好大劲,才找到车主,看到我们是新疆的车牌,提出要到西宁修理,光来回油费和耽误的时间就开口要1500元,连修理费一起要3000元。一番协商不下,把我们撩在宾馆等候,工匠他们到交警处理,巧的是处理的交警有亲戚是新疆库尔勒人,他偷偷告诉我们不要露出着急的样子,要装作有大把多时间磨泡,最后那位小车的车主经不住拖时间,以1500元了事。可也把我们等的将近中午,才急急忙忙开拔,走上青藏公路的109国道。 前方的雪山就是被称为“万山之宗”、“龙脉之祖”,在中华民族文化史上位居中国第一神山的巍巍位昆仑山。 昆仑山口地处昆仑山中段,格尔木市区南160公里处,海拔4767米 昆仑山口记碑分为主碑、副碑、陪碑、雕塑、底盘五部分,材质为汉白玉。主碑高4.767米,是昆仑山口海拔高度的千分之一,碑底座用花岗岩块石砌成9.6平方米基础,象征她屹立在祖国960万平方公里的坚实土地上。 到了昆仑山口就算进入可可西里自然保护区33685915_1272165201yXHH.jpg我们已办好进入保护区的手续,将要由东向西穿越可可西里。 从昆仑山口行驶不到20分钟,就到聊不冻泉保护站 不冻泉保护站海拔3700米,据说这里的泉水常年不停的喷涌而出,即使在寒冷的严冬也从不封冻,因此被称为“不冻泉”。不冻泉被当地藏民视为神泉。在不冻泉有旅馆、商店,还有加油站,可是没有油可 加 整个青藏铁路拉格段难度最大控制工程不冻泉特大桥,全长2.95公里。是目前世界上海拔最高,穿越冻土层最厚,科技含量最高,施工难度最大,空气最稀薄,条件最恶劣的高原特大桥。 昆仑山脉亚洲中部大山系,也是中国西部山系的主干。从东向西绵亘2,000公里(1,250哩),西起塔吉克的帕米尔,东至昆仑山口和毗邻的青藏诸山脉——布尔汗布达山脉、巴颜喀拉山与阿尼玛卿山。昆仑山宽度变化相当大,很少超过201公里(125哩)。在西部边际,该山形成中国西部西藏高原与塔里木盆地之间的一个内亚壁垒。北部支脉阿尔金山继续延伸这一山脉组合。玉珠峰、玉虚峰传说是玉帝两个妹妹的化身,是明末道教混元派(昆仑派)道场所在地,是中国第一神山。玉珠峰,海拔6178米,位于青海格尔木南160公里的昆仑山口以东10公里,是昆仑山东段最高峰,南坡冰川末端海拔约5100米;北坡冰川延伸至4400米。山峰顶部常年被冰雪所覆盖不冻泉大桥底看到的昆仑山玉珠峰 虽然还在青海境内,可道班却是西藏的道班,不知何故。 可可西里国家级自然保护区管理局共有5个保护站,其中常年有人值守的保护站4个,全部都分布在109国道边。按照距格尔木(管理局所在地)的远近,分别为沱沱河保护站、五道梁保护站、索南达杰保护站和不冻泉保护站。可可西里腹地的卓乃湖保护站由于条件恶劣,每年7、8月藏羚羊产羔期才开始派人值守。索南达杰自然保护站https//www.xxcb.com.cn/show.asp?id=182950 30 这个没有先例的我国第一个民间环保站,是以因保护可可西里野生动物而壮烈牺牲的原治多县委书记杰桑.索南达杰的名字命名的。1994年1月18日,索南达杰被偷猎者打死后,在零下四十度的严寒中被冻成一尊持枪射击的冰雕。他曾经说过“在中国办事如果不死几个人, 是很难引起全社会重视的。如果需要死人,就让我死在最前面。”他生前梦寐以求的, 就是在青藏公路边建一个自然保护站, 从而遏制疯狂的淘金者和偷猎者。 来自四川的探险家, 摄影师杨欣走过这里, 听到索南达杰的呼唤, 便义无反顾地走上了索南达杰的道路。1984年,“绿色江河”发起人杨欣开始关注长江,15次到长江源头地区考察,发现长江源头地区生态问,1995年倡导发起“保护长江源,爱我大自然”活动。1997年在长江源头建立起中国民间第一个自然生态环境保护站——索南达杰自然保护站,同时开展了系列的长江源生态环境考察和环境保护宣传教育活动,启动了民间长江源环境保护运动。 由于索达南杰保护站附近水源的盐碱含量高人不能饮用,他们每隔四五天就要到三十公里之外的不冻泉去拉水。他们日常生活所需的粮食和蔬菜也要到几百公里之外的格尔木去购买。 每个保护站都配备一辆巡逻专用的吉普,主要用以巡线工作。 在索南达杰保护站看到与公路平行的青藏铁路和巍巍昆仑雪山、玉珠峰 就在索南达杰保护站旁边不远处的叉道上进入可可西里腹地。 15时24分满载给养的红色的东风沙漠王给养车正在离开109国道

玉虚峰相传为玉皇大帝的妹妹玉虚神女居住的地方。传说,当年玉皇大帝见昆仑山雄伟高大,气势轩昂,景象万千,且离天庭很近,便在昆仑山顶修建了一座轩辕行宫。玉帝的妹妹玉虚得知后,很不服气,说玉帝霸占的地方太多了 ,不仅占了天上,还要把地上的好地方也据为已有。玉帝没有办法,只好把其中的一座山峰让给了玉虚。玉虚便在这座山峰上为自己修筑一座冰清玉洁、俏丽奇美的行宫,而且经常带着众姐妹到此游玩,所以,这座山峰就叫玉虚峰。 玉虚峰下的野毛驴也已经吃饱喝足,远远的看着我们这群天外来客在夕阳的映照下,亭亭玉立冰清玉洁的玉珠峰越发显得妩媚可可西里荒原上的中秋月也迫不及待地早早挂在了 天边

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 bir
语言不通走暹逻 泰国南北独自行 ——让你感同身受的图文游记 对于我们这些第一次踏出国门的土人们来说,泰国是个熟悉而又陌生的国度……当我带着在国内旅行养成的与形形色色宰客斗智斗勇万事戒备的惯性前往,更让我等看到反差巨大而感悟良多。 曼谷的喧闹与华丽,清迈的宁静与质朴,苏可泰的恢弘与震撼,阿育塔雅的辉煌与没落,涛岛的原生与狂放,这一切构成了一个异乡人眼中的泰国,五彩缤纷而又回味无穷,这就是泰国的魅力,包容而又含蓄的耐人寻味。 ——深圳磨房:我行我诉序言天上掉馅饼网站助我游泰国 喜欢旅游,走过了国内许多的名山大川之后,虽然偶尔也曾浮现出希望出国看看异国风情的念头,但跟团游不是我喜欢的,自助游?想一想兜里的银子,和我那听不懂、看不明白又说不了的英语,一想起来就望而生畏。 于是安慰自己,国内有这么多地方可去,一个中国相当于一个欧洲,走遍全国在国外也相当于走过了好多国家。出国,先算了吧。 可今年年初,不经意间获得了一个去泰国旅游的机会。 那是年初新浪旅游论坛——乐途旅游网例行的年初大评奖,五花八门的项目大多与我无干,可是乐途网和艺龙旅行网联合举办的2007年《难忘之旅》的征文却让我动心,刚好07年9-10月我和哥哥一起自助游完了川藏线,回来后写了一篇长篇游记《兄弟偕行走川藏》(https//bbs.8264.com/thread-83145-1-3.html)发到了乐途旅游论坛,于是抱着重在参与的态度报名参加评选,没想到天上掉下个大馅饼,正好砸到了我的头上——蒙乐途网诸位评委错爱,我成为两位特等奖幸运获奖者之一,奖品是:由艺龙旅行网提供的——北京至曼谷的往返机票和曼谷皇宫饭店的三天住宿。 机会难得,上天提供我出国旅游的机会,我不能再错失良机,一定要利用这次机会,好好游览一下这个美丽国家,圆我一个出国旅游梦。感谢乐途网和艺龙网,让我的出国之梦提前变为现实。[ ] 因为一直没有出过国,也一直没有去泰国旅游的打算,所以对泰国了解并不多。但在耳濡目染之间,我还是隐约知道:泰国是一个佛教国家,是一个千佛之国,是一个充满热带风情的地方,那里常年花木繁茂,弥漫着花香,那里人人以礼相待,是一个古迹众多的文明古国。我还知道,在泰国的南部,有许多美丽的海岛,那里晴空碧海,更有美丽的海底世界,是旅游度假的胜地。不过我的了解也仅仅如此而已。 在出国之前,我觉得必须对泰国的历史和地理有进一步的了解。因为在我读中学的那个时代正是文化大革命期间,后来虽然复课闹革命,但恰恰我最有兴趣的历史和地理课没有恢复,所以我的知识结构中,最缺乏的就是这两方面的知识。每次旅游前我都不得不想办法先恶补一气。 找到一张泰国地图,我有一个惊奇的发现。我们都知道:大象是泰国的国宝,大象在泰国的历史文化中占有重要地位,它们不但是战场上的坐骑、建筑工程的好帮手,白象更是泰国人崇敬的吉祥之物,是“王”的象征。泰国人喜爱大象胜过我们喜爱熊猫。从地图上看,这个崇尚大象的国度的国土形状恰恰就像一头卡通大象,这真是奇妙的造化。 摊开泰国的地图,将角度顺时针倾斜45度左右:你就会看到这头大象清晰的身影:高耸的额头,硕大的蒲扇一样的大耳朵,长长的伸进马来半岛的长鼻子,鼻子下张开的大嘴和短小粗壮的前后腿,如此形神俱备,如此惟妙惟肖,真是令人叹为观止。 泰国地图[ ] 网上这样介绍泰国的历史: 泰国目前的地方,几千年前即有人居住,但并不是现在的泰族。据一般的了解,泰族是发源于中国的南部,而于公元第十一与十二世纪才移居到目前的泰国。考古学家在泰国东北部的曼清发现许多古老的遗迹,证明泰国的文化起源于大约五千年前的青铜文化期。史前正确的资料至目前仍然不明,因为泰国的风俗和残存的文化一直在变动,而且很少记载下来,尤其在第十八世纪,由于受到外族的侵略而损毁了不少早期的文物。 公元第十三世纪末,泰国史上的第一位最英明的国王--盂莱大帝,就在目前泰国北部的清莱与清迈一带建立了一个繁荣的社会,当时所兴建的庙宇显示受到佛教很大的影响。一般而言,泰国除了受到印度佛教的影响外,盂族、高棉族对泰国的影响也不小。 泰国最大的民族是泰族,这些住在北部的民族,早期已能够自给自足,但他们的军事力量都相当薄弱,在公元十三世纪初,终被邻国吴哥王朝的高棉族所征服,不过,高棉人这段入侵的时间并不长,泰族在1238年打了一次胜仗,从高棉人手中夺回了素可泰城,并建立起泰国历史上的第一个王朝,定都素可泰。 素可泰在巴利文里的意思是“幸福的黎明”。当时,泰国还没有统一的文字,因此用“素可泰” 作为第一个王朝的年号,以表明新时期的开始。 素可泰王朝的君主为兰甘杏大帝,他被泰国人尊称为“泰国之父”。其最大的贡献,是将国内通行的真腊(即高棉)文字,改创成泰国自己的文字。约在1283年,泰文开始在全国流行。 兰甘杏大帝受人尊重的另一原因,是他团结各族,以平等方式对待泰族以外的少数民族如高棉人、马来人和华人。他本身亦崇尚佛教,并派信徒到锡兰(今斯里兰卡)学习佛经,让他们回国后宣扬小乘佛教教义。 素可泰王朝建立后,国泰民安,其势力开始向湄南河盆地流域扩展。到公元十四世纪初期,素可泰王朝的势力,已经影响整个马来半岛和老挝(即僚国)一带。 兰甘杏去世后,强盛一时的王朝逐渐衰弱下去。此时,泰团东部的一股泰族势力,正在日益,很快蔓延到中部地区。1347年,一名太守的女婿拉玛铁菩堤,结集兵力在湄南河和巴塞河汇合的地方,建立了一座新城,取名阿育塔雅(华人称之为大城),并立号为王,这就是后来的大城王朝。 拉玛铁菩堤称王后,立即展开外交和军事攻势,有意占领整个湄南河流域,包括北部的素可泰王朝。他的精明思想和治国才能,为大城王朝的基业奠定了基础,且取代了素可泰王朝的地位。 大城王朝维持了四百多年,经历了三十三位君主。十五世纪末,绕非洲好望角至东方之航线开辟后,欧洲人开始前往泰国通商。首先到来的是葡萄牙人,他们占领了马六甲一带后,于1512年抵达大城。从此,荷兰人、英国人和法国人亦相继而来,企图在泰国这块富饶土地上获得利益。 此外,泰国与邻国缅甸在这一时期经常发生冲突,持续了一段很长时间。 1767年,缅军再次攻人大城,城内的王宫、佛寺、民房和艺术宝藏均被摧毁。一时昔日辉煌的殿阁,只存残垣断壁,如今荒草遍地,谨供游人凭吊而已。 大城王朝的京城在1767年陷落后,缅军仍留下士兵驻守,以镇压泰国人的反抗。但在泰国东南沿海一带,却崛起了一支抗缅部队,这支部队的主将原是大城王朝的将领郑信(在中国史书称郑昭)。郑信是华人后裔,其父郑镛原籍广东澄海,由于家贫才往泰国谋生,并与一泰族女子结婚,于 1734年诞下郑信。 郑信在大城被侵当日,率领随从逃出大城,于泰国东南的罗勇府建立基地,组织力量,半年后部队分乘战船,沿湄南河而上,首先攻破了西岸吞武里,继而乘胜追击,到大城与缅军展开血战,最后终于收复了沦陷的大城。 郑信进城,目睹昔日首都大城只留下一片焦土,故决定迁都湄南河西岸的吞武里,建立起泰国的第三个王朝--吞武里王朝,并削减了据地称雄的其他势力,收复失地,统一了泰国。 然而,宫廷内部的争权夺利,很快又再次出现。郑信在执政后期传说因妃嫔争宠而精神错乱,并于1782年在一次倒戈事件中被杀。另一说称郑信被乱党困于宫中,后死在囚中,时为四十八岁。吞武里王朝就此覆灭,为时只有十五年。 后人为纪念郑王的丰功伟绩,特在吞武里区域内建立郑王庙,并在大罗斗圈广场中央为郑信塑造了一座纪念碑,碑上耸立着郑信的骑马戎装铜像,策马挥剑,英武之极。每年12月28日即郑王加冕之日,循例在铜像地区举行郑王朝祭大典,并封锁附近公路,举行两昼夜的文娱活动。 郑信的王朝被推翻后,其手下部将昭披耶节基登上了王位,他就是拉玛一世王(拉玛是取自泰族民间传说的一位英雄人物),也就是目前泰国的王朝,即当今皇上蒲美蓬大帝(拉玛九世王)之先祖。 由于地方太小,加上国防上的理由,拉玛一世王把国都从西岸的吞武里移到了湄南河东岸,于是曼谷就成了泰国史上的第四个国都。至此泰国开始得到安定,曼谷王朝或称节基王朝或拉玛王朝至今已逾二百多年,而国都仍然是曼谷。 拉玛二世王,1809年登基,在位十五年,曾遣使赴北京二次,时为清朝道光及嘉庆年间。 拉玛三世王(在位公元1824至1851年)开始又对西洋各国开放,甚至当时美国也派了首任官员出使泰国,接著美国的传教士也来了,他们同时也带来了印刷术,经过改良后使泰国开始有了泰文的印刷,另西欧医学、造船学也传入了泰国。 拉玛四世王蒙库是节基王朝的英明国王之一,是泰国历史上第一位接受西方学术思想的国君,精佛学,重科学,知识广博。他通晓许多语言。如拉丁文、英文等。他是第一个准许平民亲近的国王。为了抵抗西方国家的侵略,他与邻国化干戈为玉帛,又与西方国家建立了外交关系。他曾写信给美国南北战争时期的林肯总统,声明以物质支援他(电影《安娜与国王》里面的国王就是这位拉玛四世国王)。 王位传到拉玛五世王,也就是泰国史上最著名的朱拉隆功大帝,他从事大力的改革和积极的建设。他废除了奴隶制度,兴建学校、博物馆、国立图书馆,并在国内修建了第一条铁路,发展道路系统,创办邮电局和其他现代化设施。历史学家称他执政的时期为“维新时代”,实际上可说这是泰国现代化的开端。他是引导泰国现代化的英明国王,在位直到公元1910年。 朱拉隆功于1910年逝世,后人为纪念他的功绩,在曼谷国会大厦前的广场摆放他的铜像。每年 10月 23日他的祭辰之日,此广场都有纪念活动举行。 朱拉隆功去世之后,英、法便在泰国各自划分势力范围。 由于拉玛六世王曾在英国剑桥求学,同时也曾服役于英军,所以第一次世界大战时,泰国就派兵到法国支援同盟国。大战结束后,泰国也就加人了国际联盟。 第一次大战以前,泰国人是只有名字而没有姓氏的。大战后拉玛六世王就宣布每个人可有姓,因为时间不长,所以至今泰国人虽然有姓但很少用,而通常只叫名字。 随著世界民主潮流之推进,皇族的权力渐渐被宪法所限制,拉玛七位王执政后,结束了长达七百多年的君主专制,于1932年12月10日开始实行君主立宪,颁布宪法,于是泰国成了君主立宪的国家。由国会组织政府处理国家事务,一直至今。 第二次世界大战期间,1940年泰国为了保持国土的完整,与日本订友好条约,次年日本军队进入泰国。泰国军民感到对日本抵抗并非上策,遂加入了轴心国。 战争结束后,虽然轴心国(日本、德国等)失败,但泰国乃因“非原始发战国且没有出兵”而仍被邀加入了联合国,目前泰国国内驻有联合国的分支机构。 拉玛八世王,是五世王王子公摩銮宋卡王子之长公子。1934年继承王位,时因第二次世界大战起,随王太后驻跸瑞士,1945年回泰准备举行登基大典。不幸于翌年6月9日中枪驾崩,在位12年。 当今王上拉玛九世王,1927年12月5日在美国麻省康毕城蒙奥本医院诞生,爵称蒲密蓬·阿伦耶勒亲王。 1934年,拉玛七世王驻跸伦敦宣怖逊位,因无所出,宫庭按谱立嗣君,奏请王兄继承大统,号称颂绿巴拉民他拉玛哈南他玛希隆陛下,简称拉玛八世王。1935年,当今王上以王上御弟身份加封蒲密蓬·阿伦耶勒王弟。 1946年6月9日,拉玛八世王突告驾崩,当今王上以先王无嗣,按王族继承法规定宣布登基继承大统,号称拍昭裕华蒲密蓬·阿伦耶勒陛下,简称拉玛九世王。 溯自1946年,王上秉政以来,爱国爱民之圣怀,为国为民之圣务包罗万象,几乎日无稍懈,宣慰四方,视察民瘼,垂询当地官府军警详情,赐问各地民教卫生情况及生活实况。 节基王朝第九世王蒲密蓬·阿伦耶勒陛下于1946年6月9日登基以来,至今已六十余年,他是泰国有史以来在位时间最长的一位盛世明君。几十年来,王上以他超人的智慧,不屈不饶的毅力,为泰国的民主自由和繁荣进步建立了不朽的功绩。 王上以坚定的决心,高度的热诚和德泽广被的亲和力,把全国经济地位不同、宗教信仰不同、种族背景不同的各民族人民团结成一体,朝向经济和社会建设的总目。 2007年12月5日是王上80圣诞之日,泰国全体臣民都以欢欣鼓舞的心情,热烈举行盛况空前的崇庆活勤,以颂扬王上爱民若赤、圣泽广被和伟大仁政,表达全国万民感戴王恩浩荡的赤诚。 [ ] 在网上众多驴友的游记中,我看到了更多的真实的泰国:现代与传统并存的东南亚大都市曼谷,庙宇林立、幽静古朴的“泰北玫瑰”清迈,古迹密布,撼人心魄的素可泰和大城,以死亡铁路和桂河大桥闻名于世的北碧府,还有如珍珠一样散布于太平洋和印度洋上的景色秀丽、风光迷人的潜水休假胜地苏梅岛、涛岛、普吉岛、皮皮岛等等…… 看过了关于泰国的历史介绍,又看了许多驴友的泰国游记,我对泰国越发产生了浓厚的兴趣,恨不得马上出发去拜访这个充满鲜花、微笑、历史古迹和佛像及寺庙的国度。 3月26日,接到了艺龙网和乐途网的获奖通知。经过与艺龙网的冯小姐反复沟通,我定下来5月11日和5月25日的泰航往返机票及5月11-13日在曼谷的住宿,其它时间由我自行安排在泰国北部和南部的自助游。从那时起,我就开始在网上搜集有关资料,做出行准备。 想到语言不通的我要在泰国生活和旅行十几天,一切都要自己操劳,想起来头就有些大。 本来省事的办法是找一个旅行社,跟着走就是,凡事有人操心,可我实在不希望我的第一次出国游变成这个样子。还有一个办法是找个英语精通的游伴,可以省心,又可以分担住宿和乘车费用,可一来时间合适、性格投缘的伙伴不好找,二来,我希望的旅游方式(徒步、骑车等)不是一般人能与我共享的,想来想去,还是一个人方便。 仔细想想,一个人旅行也没啥了不起,多年的旅行经历给我一个最深刻的印象就是,许多事情远不像想象的那样复杂和艰难,只要去操作,总会车到山前必有路。 语言虽然不通,但我三十年前读大学时也多少学了一点哑巴英语(对付看,不会说,不能听),后来读研究生也突击过一阵,虽然几十年过去,都扔到了爪哇国,可泰国离爪哇国不远,这次去那里走走,能捡回一星半点也说不定。 当然,为了避免无法沟通陷于困境,我买了一本《出行不求人》的中英文会话小册子,进行突击培训。后来,我无意中发现家里有一个《译博士》电子辞典,是十多年前老岳父送给读中学的女儿的礼品,可她一次没用过,正好为我所用。 其实,换个角度思考,语言不通也不是一无是处,它会让你静下心来,更仔细地用眼去观察,更细致地用心去感受。那会是一种更独特的体验。 感谢 Google Earth,让我在出行之前就在计算机上看到了我要住宿的饭店、行走的街道,参观的古迹等等。 感谢发达的现代网络,网络上朋友们的大量游记和图片让我对将去的地方有了很深刻的感性认识,并提前获得了要去城市的各种旅游地图。 通过网上查询,我甚至知道了素可泰老城的63处遗址中只有十几处遗址比较重要,值得关注,并确定了它们的具体位置;知道了在大城遗址中那尊最重要的树包佛就在Wat Mahathat入口处右面的古树下,不注意就可能忽略;知道了在大城府和素可泰可以买到很便宜的水果,知道了泰国的火车、汽车和轮渡的时刻表,了解了各种车船联运和住宿的行情及最低价格。 这一切,使我能很容易提前安排自己的旅程。 在网上,我还找到了一个教泰文的网站,跟着学会了要去的几个泰国旅游城市的泰文发音,学会了一些最基本的泰文会话,并有可能把一些最重要的会话用泰文打印下来,在我的泰国之行中发挥了重要作用。 在此基础上,我制定了自己此次泰国旅行的详细计划。 长时间提前准备攻略有个极大的好处,就是可以随时补充材料,修改行程。 经过反复研究修改,最终我确定了如下行程,实际上基本按其执行:日期 日 程5月10日:早715火车到北京、白天逛北京,晚上住机场附近5月11日:820飞机,1215到达曼谷; 下午:曼谷繁华商贸区徒步,塔楼、世贸(四面佛)、沿拉玛一世路到MBK中心,沿帕亚泰路南下,到地铁“山燕站”(Sam Yan),穿过小巷,到苏拉汪路,走到江边,南下席蓬路,返回到帕蓬区,晚上在帕蓬区消遣。5月12日:徒步去考山路,法政大学、参观大王宫、玉佛寺、卧佛寺、黎明寺等; 然后去唐人街和华兰蓬火车站买去清迈车票5月13日:桂河大桥一日游5月14日:大城一日游,晚上乘坐1920火车去清迈5月15日:清迈:素贴山一日游; 下午租自行车:博物馆,城区、晚上:夜市5月16日:继续骑车环游清迈城,拜访寺庙和民居5月17日:早车去素可泰,素可泰新城半日游 5月18日:素可泰老城一日游5月19日:早车回曼谷,晚上去苏梅岛5月20日:到达苏梅岛、摩托车环游苏梅岛5月21日:继续摩托车环岛游、1030去涛岛,涛岛半日游5月22日:涛岛一日浮潜;定回曼谷联票5月23日:涛岛半日;下午涛岛经春蓬回曼谷5月24日:国家博物馆,考山路,胜利纪念碑,机场,25日035飞机5月25日:650到北京,中午火车,晚上到沈阳 [ ] 行程确定之后,随着出行日期的临近,我还做了一些出国旅游所必需的其他准备: 1.护照、证、银联卡(虽然是第一次出国,我还是没提前换外汇。一方面,在国内换泰铢非常不方便,只能先换美元或港元,到国外再二次换汇,我嫌麻烦,网上介绍银联卡在泰国的ATM上到处可以提款和刷卡消费,汇率也很优惠,于是就直接带了招行的一卡通出国了,为防万一,还另外带了一张沈阳盛京银行的玫瑰卡); 2、相机、录音笔、小电脑(出行前,妻子给我配了一个微型的E-PC电脑,重量不到一公斤,功能却很齐全,可以看图片、写文章、听音乐,还可以无线上网,非常方便,这正是我企盼已久的东西。出发前,我把所有收集到的资料、攻略、地图、驴友们的游记等等,除打印部分外,其余的统统拷贝到我的小电脑里,随时查阅,十分方便。) 3、出发前,买了一双新凉鞋,因为在泰国,人们通常穿拖鞋,可我一来不习惯,二来如果穿拖鞋,原来的鞋还得背着,所以穿一双凉鞋,一举两得。但对于我这样喜欢徒步的人来说,穿新鞋出来其实有点风险,因为新鞋没经过磨合,不可能完全和脚,很容易产生问。不过我这双鞋还好,可以调节松紧,所以没产生什么大问。 4、此外还带了一个指南针和一个小望远镜,前者帮助我在陌生的地方确定方位,发挥了很大作用。后者则偶尔登高望远时使用。其他如换洗衣服和洗漱用具等,不一而足。总之,此次所带东西尽量精简,轻装上阵,反正只有半个月,需要的东西在泰国也可以及时补充。 全部东西整理好以后,连我那40升的小背包都没装满。 记起有位叫做Tony Wheeler的人说过:“如果你决定要出发,那么旅行中最困难的部分已经结束,那么,上路吧。” 于是,5月9日晚8点,我背着我那个40L的小背囊上路了。我要坐晚上925的54次快车,从沈阳先去北京。本来11日早8点的飞机,我完全可以明天白天去北京,可反正周末没什么事情,早点去看看奥运前的北京也不错。 [ ]5月10日 北京一日 首都改造迎奥运 我喜欢坐火车旅行,去北京已经无数次,可路边的景色还是百看不厌。 7点半火车正点到达北京,为迎接奥运,北京火车站正在整容。 站前广场有警车正在待命,随时准备应付突发情况。 下车以后也没有确定的目,顺着崇文门西街的胡同钻过去,准备去看看大栅栏。 大栅栏前面这一大片平房区马上就要拆迁,大栅栏也正在改造,搞的乌烟瘴气。不过看他们在改造区围墙上画出的规划图,改造完以后会相当漂亮。 每次到北京,我喜欢在北京的胡同里乱串。不过有味道的胡同越来越少。 希望这次前门地区改造后,能给我们提供一些有味道的地方。 从大栅栏的老街瑞蚨祥、荣宝斋门前一路走过去,到处在挖沟改造,大栅栏已经面目全非,只好下次再看。 大栅栏没什么可看,只好折向和平门,从全聚德烤鸭店向北,本来想去西单转转,可新建的中国歌剧院的大圆蛋在清晨明媚的阳光下豁然入目,吸引了我的眼球。那就过去看看吧,转过去,大会堂的后面已经搬迁一空,新歌剧院豪华气派,四周被水团团围住,看了半天没发现入口在哪里。后来才发现,原来要从地下进入歌剧院。 看过歌剧院,眼前来到了天安门,这里已经是人山人海。人满为患。许多旅游团挤在这里。一向不喜欢人多的地方,连忙进入天安门,在午门前右拐,转向角楼,过南池子大街,去王府井。 经过多年的改造,王府井已经旧貌换新颜,可还在进一步改造。也许是折腾得时间太长,已经伤了元气,繁华的商业街不再繁华,原来人来人往、熙熙攘攘的大街,现在竟然相当的萧条冷落。 几个街头雕塑倒是很有韵味,惹的游人纷纷与之合影。 王府井百货大楼今非昔比,更加气派,可门前却顾客寥寥,风光不再。 改造也有好的一面,如同哈尔滨的索非亚大教堂重见天日一样,过去掩藏在王府井楼群后面的一座东正教堂也露出了本来面目。有几对年轻人正在这里举办婚礼。 回到崇文门,在老字号的崇文门菜市场花17元买了一个烧鸡,又买了一斤筋饼作为今天的干粮。 吃了一点饼,看看市里再没什么地方想看,于是回到车站,到640路的始发站坐车去机场。据说市内到机场的地铁已经完工,马上就要运行,到那时候再去坐飞机就简单多了。 汽车中途路过了中央电视台的新工地,看到了正在建造中的被称为大裤衩的电视台新楼。 本来去首都机场的老航站楼应当在天竺镇下车,可我要去新建的第三航站楼,车上的人说去新航站楼在岗村下车更近,所以又往前坐了两站。 下车,在当街的小店买了一瓶冰镇啤酒,一面就着烧鸡喝啤酒消暑,一面欣赏着外面的风景。岗村已经和天竺镇连成一片,这里已经成为民航的宿舍区,许多空姐下了班正准备回家。 吃饱喝足,逛逛悠悠来到一公里外的航站楼。 新建的航站楼很漂亮,周边的环境更漂亮。 我已经从网上查到:从三月份开始,泰航的飞机开始在新的第三航站楼起落。 大厅里有具有中国特色的浑天仪。 我找到泰航的柜台,向值班小姐咨询了有关情况。得到的信息是,今天什么事情也办不了,一切都明天早上再说。 视察了一圈儿,回到镇里,找住宿的地方。 先是在天竺镇转圈,这里宾馆不少,可是价位奇高,都是漫天要价,几个快捷酒店也是如此,从186-686不等,真是莫名其妙。简直宰死人不偿命。 咱们穷驴出游从来都是住10元20元的小店,什么时候花过这个冤枉钱, 继续往前走,我就不信找不到一个便宜的地方。 穿过了天竺镇,来到天竺村,村中心有一个宾馆,看来也不是便宜的地方,继续往前,看到一家住户大门口挂着“房屋出租”的牌子,心想,既然有房子出租,住宿或许有戏。 走进院去,院里住了许多外地人,打听到房子主人的居室,房主是一个残疾人,问他,可不可以在这里住一宿,他很爽快地答应了。问:多少钱?答:20元。 20元,这才是咱这徒步老驴可以接受的价位。我没再还价。 他起身带我来到院里头一间空房里,屋里空空如也,只有一个双层床和一个单人床。 过一会儿,他带着他老婆过来送被褥,跟我说,他老婆嫌要价要低了。 我说,差不多就行了,挣20不是20嘛。 安排好住宿,走出门去,外面是一个小市场,很热闹。虽然没吃晚饭,但不觉得饿,为防万一,买了两个馒头。 到街里的宾馆一打听,果然,最低价166元。该着我省钱买烧鸡。 转了一圈儿,没什么可买,回去睡觉。 5月11日 北京-曼谷 都市里的徒步 早上4点多就醒了,磨蹭一会儿起来,外面,天正下着小雨。 我住的地方距离三号航站楼大约4公里。下雨使我徒步去航站楼的计划大受影响。不过还是先走出去再说。 走到镇里的民航居住区,忽然看到了路边的车站站牌,想起来,对,民航宿舍区不可能没有去航站楼的公交车,果然,一会儿就有车过来,是去2号航站楼的,因为事先知道2、3号航站楼之间有免费摆渡车,所以我就上了车,先去2号航站楼。票价1元。 到站下车,转车,去3号航站楼。 不到6点钟,就顺利到达了三号航站楼。 拿护照取电子客票的时候,我对办票的小姐说想要一个靠窗的位置,可一着急,说成了给我一个靠边的位置,意识到可能误解,连忙更正,说要一个靠窗的位置,可能后一句小姐没听清,结果给了我一个37D的座位,我一想,这好像不是靠窗的,问小姐,她说是,于是犹犹豫豫进去办手续。 三号航站楼是两个“Y”字对接到一起的结构,国内进出港在前一个”Y”字部分,出国则需要先乘坐捷运轨道车到另一个“Y”字部分办手续。 本来以为奥运期间的出国手续多么复杂,所以提前2个多小时来到机场,可实际上也很简单,虽然是奥运期间可能稍为严格了一点。 下了轨道车,先进行边检,从来没出过国,没做过边检,以为很复杂,其实很简单,交上护照,我看边检人员在计算机输入护照编号,估计是看看是否属于嫌疑控制对象,看没什么问,于是盖章放行。 边检完事之后是安检,我的包里装满了各式金属器物--三脚架、不锈钢饭盒、相机、小电脑、金属链锁等等,安检人员让打开包简单看了一下,就放行了。我的大金属水果刀也得以蒙混过关。 并不是故意要违反航空管理条例,实在是我去泰国这样一个水果之都太需要一个好的水果刀。事先也做好了心理准备,被查出来就上缴,没想到果然得以蒙混过关。 也许是水果刀偷渡成功得意忘形,匆忙之间,我装着护照、银行卡和小相机等重要物品的腰包竟然忘记拿走,落到了安检处。 走不多远,突然发现腰包不在,连忙回去找。 安检人员对此类丢三落四人员已经司空见惯,核对无误,把腰包交还给我。 就这样,刚刚6点半,一切OK,就等着登机了。离起飞还有2个小时,这下子消停了,慢慢等吧。 新航站楼候机室的条件不错,里面有免税店,虽然比我后来在曼谷机场看到的小多了。 还有一些中国特色的室内装饰。 机场坐椅下面有电源插座,可以充电和使用笔记本电脑,也可以无线上网,不过要收费。没搞懂怎么交费。 等到8点正,开始上飞机,果然37D是一个靠边的位置,而不是靠窗的位置,想一想,5个小时的航程,还是得找个靠窗位置,找到泰航的乘务长,让她帮忙调换一下,她查看一下登记表,44K没人,于是在登机牌上给我改过来,终于可以靠窗欣赏风景了。 我的第一次出国旅行生活开始了! 泰航乘务组不仅有美丽的空中小姐(空姐),还有漂亮的空中先生(空少,空中少爷)。 起飞前,空姐和空少给每个旅客发了一付耳机,插入座位把手上的耳机插孔中就可以收听飞机广播。因为除了开始时教大家如何系安全带和使用救生衣和氧气面罩等例行功课外,其它时间大屏幕上播放节目时机舱内的喇叭是没有声音的,旅客可以根据自己是否感兴趣用耳机选择收听。扶手上有两个旋钮,其中一个是音量控制旋钮,另一个多档位旋钮,根据我的判断,在当初设计时,是不同档位可以选择不同国家的语言或不同的节目,但实际上飞机上播放的都是英语。 我认为泰航的机前培训设计的较好,在大屏幕显示期间,喇叭中的播音员用准音分别用汉语、英语和泰语各说一遍,又清晰又明白。而我们国内的许多航班是乘务员一边示范一边哇啦哇啦乱喊一气,什么都听不清楚。这方面显得实在是太落后了。 飞机起飞时,外面还在下雨,不过很快飞机就飞上了万米高空,把下雨的云彩压到了脚下。 空中一片云海,不是很美丽,差强人意。 飞机平稳后,空中小姐和空中先生就开始忙碌起来,他们不停地工作,笑容可掬。 9点半,开始发飞机餐,泰国风味,量不是很大,样不少,还可以。 餐后又有饮料,果汁、咖啡、热茶、冰水等,随便选择。没吃饱的旅客还可以要小面包。 饭后不久,小姐们开始发放出入境登记卡,上面全是英文,许多语言不通的人对此很挠头,不知道许多项目是什么意思。不过本人对此早有准备,早就从网上下载了准样式,提前填好了,现在只要照猫画虎,填上就OK。 填过出入境卡,先生小姐开始新一轮的饮料发放。 在他们工作间隙,我来到后舱,给漂亮的泰航空姐和空少拍了几张照片,并和他们合影留念。 今天的空中景物很一般,总希望乘飞机时能看到漂亮的云海,但很少如愿。 只有一次,我从北京飞回沈阳,遇到了最美丽的云海,但很遗憾,那一次没带相机。 飞机掠过了一片片山川河流,很遗憾,没准备地图,不知道都飞过了什么地方,后来才知道,前面的大屏幕上面不断显示的就是当时飞过的路径,不过我离的稍远,看不大清楚。 5个小时的飞行也不觉得漫长,飞机从北京起飞后,先后经过了河北,河南、湖北、重庆、贵州、云南,出境后又经过了越南和老挝,最后在泰国上空飞行了将近一个小时,于北京时间1320,曼谷时间1220到达曼谷的素万那普国际机场的上空。 快降落的时候,从空中看,先是万顷良田,然后开始出现城市成片的房舍,美丽的立交桥和高速公路,然后飞机降落。 泰国的这些高速公路,据说都是日本政府帮忙建造的。不过不是免费援建,而是收费项目。据说日本人是按照过往车辆的轮胎个数收费,4个轮子的收4个的钱,8个就收8个的钱……本来公路建成五年之后就已经回收全部成本了,但是日本人却和泰国订了20年的收费合同。[ ] 到了机场,一进机场大厅,先遇到这位门神迎候大家。 这是印度神话传说中的神猴哈奴曼(我没有搞错吧?)。有人说他西游记中的孙悟空的原型之一。 印度有一篇著名的文学作品《罗摩衍那Ramakien》里写了这样一个故事: 婆罗门教三大天王之一的“那罗延天王”的化身罗摩王,有一次带了美丽的悉达王妃到森林里打猎,夜叉国的十颈夜叉王却趁机把王妃抢走,因而引起了一场人魔大战,猴神哈奴曼率兵帮助罗摩王,结果夜叉王大败,美丽的王妃终于被救了回来。 因此,哈奴曼就成为小乘佛教的护法神。后来我看到:在玉佛寺里到处都是神猴哈奴曼的光辉形象。 网上介绍:这个于2006年9月28日开始启用的新机场的建设长达45年,早在1961年就拟定了兴建新机场的计划构想,直到2002年才开始动工修建,用了4年半的时间完成了这项大型建筑工程。整个机场耗资高达40亿美元(约1440亿泰铢),据说是亚洲最大的国际机场。 该机场由德裔美籍著名建筑师杨恩设计,采用华丽的玻璃和钢骨拱门,具有泰国传统建筑特色,具有全球最大的单一机场航站大厦,占地为56.3万平方公尺。该机场总的占地面积为3200公顷,距曼谷市区25公里,有2条高速公路连接,市中心到机场约为35分钟车程(实际上,由于拥挤的曼谷交通,多数情况下需要一个半到两个小时才能到达市内),目前正在兴建一条长度为28.6公里的高速铁路直达新机场。机场共有120个停机坪,每小时可起降76架航班,其中有5个停机坪可容纳最新的空中巴士A380飞机。在新机场运营的航空公司将达到100家左右。 在曼谷机场,出境更简单,在出境处交上了入境单和护照,边检先生把出境单订到护照上,盖上戳,放行。 OK, 顺利出境。 出境后来到前厅,看到有许多人在接机。旁边立着许多接人的牌子,其中一块牌子上面写着我的名字,这肯定是接我的,可人呢? 四处看看,没有人关注这个牌子和牌子下的我,我就去大厅里面找ATM取泰铢,悠悠万事,唯此为大。经济社会,没有钱寸步难行。 在大厅的一头,找到了一个ATM,众多志中有一个明显的银联志。 2005年5月13日,中国银联与泰国AT网络运营商PCC公司署了银联卡联网合作协议,从那时起,中国银联卡就可以在泰国贴有银联识的AT机上提现。此举将大大方便中国游客在泰国的旅游和购物。 更为人性化的是,所有适用银联卡的ATM上都有中文选择按键,按下去,就会出现中文界面,真的是太方便了。 在这个ATM上先取了5000泰铢,又顺手将1000泰铢在旁边银行的办事处换成了小票以方便使用。 手里有钱,心里不慌,这下子有底气了。 回到接站牌下面,来接我的小伙子已经在等待。简单确认后,他带我到旁边的椅子上坐下,然后出去找来了一辆出租车,让我上车,告诉司机送到什么地方。 我原以为是酒店来车接我,虽然免费接机是饭店的承诺,但对相关的服务人员还是应当表示感谢,所以我原准备到饭店后给司机20泰铢小费。现在既然送人的是出租车司机,那么这项费用就省下了。看来这样办理对酒店来说也更有效率,酒店只要派一个人守在这里,就可以专门负责接送各地来的所有客人,接到人后找一个出租车送走即可,高效、方便、成本低廉,而且完全能满足客人的要求。值得效仿。 来曼谷之前一周,我每天都查询曼谷的天气预报,看到这里一直是多云有阵雨的天气,今天仍然如此,这样的天让人感觉很舒服,不太热。在回曼谷的路上,又先后下了两场阵雨,这雨水是不是太勤了点?? 雨来时,雨骤风急,不一会儿,风停雨歇。 虽然从来没有来过曼谷,可在Gooler Earth 上,我已经无数次看过我要入住的酒店及其位置,所以,当出租车穿过高架桥下面的铁路时,我知道,我的酒店到了。 我在曼谷居住的酒店--Bangkok Palace Hotel(皇宫饭店)及其周边 语言不通总有些耽误事。在酒店大厅办理入住手续时,添完单子,身份确认后,服务生还要收我2000泰铢,我没想明白这是什么钱,又解释不通,就先给了他。 后来我想,可能是押金一类的东西,刚好在大厅里看到了一个中国旅游团,我请导游到前台一问,果然是押金。因为房间有一些收费的饮品之类,饭店还提供一些其他的收费服务,这些都要在退房时一并结算,所以先收了一些押金,可以理解, 到屋里一看,房间不错,服务生告诉我,壁橱里面有两瓶纯净水和一些小包咖啡、袋泡茶等是免费供应的,冰箱里的饮品和其他东西消费后则要付费。 从窗口望出去,一座座高楼霍然入目,从地图上看,我住的皇宫饭店在曼谷中心商业区附近,是曼谷高楼大厦最集中的区域,曼谷最高档的宾馆和购物中心几乎都集中在这个区域。酒店南边1公里外就是以世贸大厦为中心的繁华商业区,酒店东南面几乎集中了曼谷所有的高档宾馆饭店,西边500米外就是尖尖细细,直冲云霄的曼谷最高、据说曾经也是亚洲最高的塔楼--89层的Baiyoke大厦。 在酒店安置妥当,我走出了酒店,面对西面高高的塔楼确定一下方位,向前走到一条主路上,然后一直向着南面的世贸中心方向,开始了我在曼谷的都市漫步。 出外旅游,在一个陌生的城市,我最喜欢进行这种漫步。我觉得,要更深刻地感受和了解一个城市,最好的办法就是用脚步一点点丈量过它的大街小巷。虽然处在一个陌生的地方,语言又不通,但我手里有详尽的地图和指南针,定好了出发前的地,想丢都没那么容易。 跟团游的人们就享受不到这种乐趣。他们到了一个地方,往往东西南北都搞不清,甚至不知道自己是在一个城市的什么位置,中国有些导游为避免麻烦,更是编造谣言,恐吓团员说出去乱逛容易出事,把团员紧紧控制在酒店里,所以许多人来了曼谷,除了几个景点,对其他地方一无所知。 在我出来之前,妹夫给我讲了他们来曼谷的一段遭遇,他和一行人跟团来曼谷,同行的几个人晚上没事出去转街,由于东西南北都搞不清楚,更不知道身处曼谷的什么位置,结果没转多远,就晕头转向,找不到原来的酒店了。打了个出租车在曼谷乱转,四处去问,也不得要领。结果转了大半宿,一直到凌晨三点才找回酒店。这就是想省心跟团游的结果。 我们这些自助背包客绝对不会犯这样低级的错误。 曼谷是一个国际化大都市,僚人家园网站的凌波仙子网友这样介绍曼谷: 曼谷,是个兼具古老气息和现代风情的东方大城,更是个处处充满赞叹的地方。这个城市于1782年所建,是今日泰国政治文化,经济交流的中心,被列为东南亚第二大城市。 曼谷的全称,译为拉丁文有142个字母,译成汉语也有60多个汉字。其意为“伟大的神仙之京城,永恒的绿宝石城,坚不可摧的极乐世界,天帝的皇都,被赠予九块宝石的世界大都会……”,是世界上名字最长的首都。当年,拉玛一世将都城迁至曼谷,用记录佛教经典的巴利文给新首都起了一个长名,将许多美好的称号都加在了这个新首都的名字上,泰国人简称其为“克伦太普”,也就是“天使之城”。 湄南河从绿郁葱葱的泰北山峦逶迤而下,横穿过曼谷,把曼谷分为东西两部分,就像少女腰上的一条曼妙的彩带,给曼谷增添了不少色彩。东部是新城,这里高楼林立,一座座高楼大厦和豪华商场拔地而起,繁华的工商业区,证券交易频繁的施乐姆街,各种跨国公司在此设立分部,而每年在曼谷举行的各种国际会议多达二三百起。然而在洋溢现代化气息的水泥丛林中,曼谷仍然保持着一股东方的神秘气息。湄南河以西是旧城吞武里,那里多是精致的园林,雕工细琢的佛塔,在这里生活的泰国人依旧保持着传统的色彩。 最让人感兴趣的,是曼谷的水上市场。这里的河道多于街道,汽艇和木船比比皆是。据说曼谷新城的修建过程中,许多河道被填土封闭,可想而知,“东方威尼斯”的称号并非徒有虚名。河边的水上人家,满载水果蔬菜的大小船只,在水上形成流动货摊。当船上的农民和小贩向游客兜售商品时,他们会以长竹竿为媒介,将鲜花,水果等递给游客。 令人赞叹的是专供泰国国王和王室成员使用的船只。泰国王室每年都要建造一艘游艇,载王室一家畅游湄南河。船以金箔雕画装饰,非常精致美丽。船首像一只金色天鹅的颈项,嘴里含着一些垂饰,而船尾则像一条大蛇,浮在水面。每年的10月底或11月初月圆之时,装饰得五彩缤纷的王室之舟就会出现,静静地行驰在河中。 在曼谷,观光区可分为王宫边、杜喜区周边、中国城等8个区域,精华在金碧辉煌的皇宫和佛寺建筑。位于曼谷市中心区的大皇宫,由一组布局错落有致的建筑群组成,汇集了绘画、雕刻和装饰艺术的精华,风格独特,闻名遐尔,主要建筑是4座各具特色的宫殿,从东向西一字排开,一色的绿色瓷砖屋脊,紫红色的琉璃瓦屋顶,凤头飞檐。屋顶是典型的泰国“三顶式结构”,集泰国数百年建筑艺术之大成。 曼谷还是有名的“佛庙之都”。全市有佛400多座,到处都可以看到寺庙,香火鼎盛,轻烟缭绕。佛寺建筑精致美观,具有浓厚的东方色彩。最有名的是玉佛寺、卧佛寺等。 漫步在湄南河岸,偶尔会邂逅一两个供着花圈的神龛,或者是替人看相的命相师,泰族妇女摇着载满水莲花的舢板,寺庙里的风铃在沉静的空气中回响着。黄昏的阳光染红了皇宫的金色尖顶,美丽的景致尽在举手投足之间,而这种耐人寻味的感受,也只有亲身体会才知道。 所以说,曼谷之于泰国,正如巴黎之于法国,伦敦之于英国,代表着国家的精神和文化。走一趟曼谷,你会感受到泰国活泼,多变的精神风貌。 这样美丽的景致,如今我正在用自己的脚,自己的眼,自己的心灵,自己的感觉一点点感受,一点点体验。 曼谷是一个大都市,而且是个国际化的大都市。泰国的城市中,只有曼谷的规模、发达程度和文化沉积等综合指数可以称之为大都市,泰国全国有6500万人口,其中曼谷就占了十分之一,有650万人口。 而第二大城市的清迈面积和人口不足曼谷的七分之一,规模和中国的“大城市”--铁岭相当,更不要说其他城市了。 外面天气阴沉,随时可能下雨,我不能不带上雨衣。小雨给我的都市漫步带来了小小的不便,但它却让我在曼谷最炎热的季节感受到难得的舒适的凉爽。 泰国不愧是一个佛教国度,几乎每个稍有规模的建筑面前,都有一个漂亮的佛龛,里面供奉的大多是泰国人认为最灵验的四面佛。 佛龛前不仅有鲜花、香炉,还有许多漂亮的小彩塑偶像侍奉着。 看驴友们拍回来的照片,最喜欢这些形神俱备的陶偶,很多饭店宾馆前面都有,[ ] 历代国王的塑像也和佛像一样被到处供奉。 曼谷的出租车很漂亮,而且因为所属公司不同,颜色也不一样。 虽然天很热,但交通警察全副武装在街上指挥交通。 在泰国,公职人员的尽职尽责为我留下了极深的印象。 虽然是曼谷最繁华的大街之一,但街上并不排斥作小买卖的的人们,也没有任何城管之类来骚扰他们。 街边的小摊在给人们带来生活便利的同时,也给都市增添了一道独特的风景。 曼谷的交通一直为各国旅游者所诟病。道路狭窄,车辆众多,拥挤不堪。 为了改进交通,曼谷建立起了自己的立体交通体系。 主要道路上方,几乎每个交叉路口,都设立了行人过街天桥。 高架轻轨的水泥支架宽大厚重,在给人沉稳可靠的感觉的同时,也把曼谷本来就狭窄的天空分割的更加支离破碎。 街上到处有佛龛神像,也有许多护法神祗,这里有一个大鹏金翅鸟驮一个不知道哪方的神灵,一个妇女来这里虔诚地叩拜。 这就是世贸中心对面小广场上的四面佛(Erawan Shrine)。没有恢宏的庙宇,没有宽大的道场,如果不是仔细注意,许多外来者会错过这个著名的景点。 据说,四面佛非常灵验,还听的懂包括粤语在内的多国语言和方言,许多游人,特别是香港、新加坡等地华人常专程来此膜拜和还愿。 网上介绍说:四面神其实并非佛,而是神,是婆罗门教三大主神之一的大梵天,在婆罗门教众神的传说中,“大梵天”是世界万物的创造者,他原有5个头,后来被婆罗门教里的另一大主神“湿婆”砍去一个,剩下四个头分别朝向东、西、南、北四方。它有四只手,分别拿着吠陀经典、莲花、匙子和念珠。 据说四面佛的四面分别代表慈(仁爱)、悲(悲悯)、喜(吉祥)、舍(施惠),因此进香时要按顺时针方向对四面佛像四面依次膜拜,四面都敬到,否则不灵验。还有一点非常重要,说是拜了四面佛后祈愿成功是要来还愿的,否则佛就要降罪了。 拜四面神通常使用鲜花串、金箔、香烛和木象(象征幸运),或者将麻雀放生,富有者则雇几名少女在神前跳传统的祭神舞,以谢神恩。 因为还有一种说法,说四面佛是大梵天所骑的大象的化身,所以四面佛旁边还有一些木刻的大象,它们也成为人们顶礼膜拜的偶像。 拜佛还愿者请身着民族服装的少女正翩翩起舞,以娱神灵。 高架轻轨车站楼梯漂亮的遮阳篷,很有点悉尼歌剧院的风格。 路边小景 遇到两位水晶晶(泰国对漂亮的小泰妹的称呼),我举起手里的相机,示意要给她们照张像,两位小姐欣然应允。佳丽回眸,嫣然一笑,于是有了这张照片。 大街上的许多小泰妹(不是太妹)感觉确实很漂亮,笑起来尤其好看。她们确实很爱笑。 也许是东南亚湿润的空气格外养人肌肤,加上曼谷大都市的文化涵养,使这些水晶晶显得格外娇媚。虽然东南亚的阳光应当很厉害,可在泰国的十多天里,无论是晴天雨天,我都没看到女孩们打伞遮阳遮雨,但令人惊异的是,都市里大多数女孩们的皮肤不但不黑,反而相当的白皙。 据说,泰国真正的白皮肤美女都集中在北部城市清迈,因为那里的混血很多,女孩子皮肤很白,高高的,而且很温柔。而南部地区是纯种的泰国人,那里的人长得黑瘦矮小,不好看
这是6个女人的旅行,自从2012年6个女人来了趟缅甸之旅后,心就越来越野,胆子也越来越大。一年忙碌后,到了年底,突然发现去美国的机票好便宜,就一拍即合决定去美西自驾。因为其中三人去年4月已经去美西自驾一次,所以有点犹豫,想起电影西雅图夜未眠,心血来潮就把西雅图加进去,然后又发现西雅图是去阿拉斯加的门户,于是就决定继续向北,去阿拉斯加看极光。 订票订房订车,不到两周6个女人就起程了,三个女人一台戏,六个女人出行注定是一场热闹之旅。 终于到了要出发的日子,因为6个女人,两个有2-3年驾龄,两个今年刚买车,一个有照不会开,一个连驾照都没有,所以决定只租一台车,如此一来都没开过大车,就想租个小点的商务车,这样就担心行李舱放不下6件大行李,于是出发前手忙脚乱的拼箱子,争取只带4个大箱子,于是办公室里被我们搞的一片大乱。去不成又心有不甘的男同事,不时在旁边打击着我们,比如阿拉斯加自驾冰雪路很危险之类的。但心已经飞走的女人们虽然内心不安,却都被激动的情绪冲的根本听不进去。 中午大家在楼下的餐厅聚餐吃了火锅,办公室所有人把我们送到楼下,当时嘴上都没说什么,但总感觉送行有点过于隆重,有点像十送红军的感觉,搞的好像多久回不来似的。毕竟阿拉斯加实在太遥远了,虽然去阿拉斯加看极光是我们的人生愿景,可是这么快就要实现,总觉得有那么点不真实。 机场等待出发,6个女人要拍个出发的合影,自己先拍了一张,觉得还是应该找个人拍合影,于是抓了个旁边候机的帅哥,那帅哥早已注意到这帮疯疯癫癫的女人,一看找他很高兴的过来帮忙,一副早就等着召唤的模样,拍一张还热情的说,看看行不行,不行在给你们拍,看了6个女人走到哪里都很引人注目呢。 微信发出去,立即有回复,你们去哪里?怎么还未成年人禁止入内呀。看看思想不纯洁不是,不就是没注意站到吸烟室门前了吗? 香港中转,在候机室品品咖啡吃吃蛋糕,说实话香港的点心味道真心不错。国泰航空的餐饮还是不错了,冰淇淋还是哈根达斯,早餐还有稀饭。就是十几个小时的飞行时间实在难熬。但女人适应环境的能力是很强的,看,要杯红酒把自己弄得小脸通红,准备酒后睡个好觉的,三人椅子,一头一个抱着对方的脚的,另一个哪去了?原来自我升舱到卧铺了。虽然不太雅观,但毕竟可以躺下睡会了。微信发出又是一片喧哗,这方法不错呀,下次我们也这样之类的。不过这个也只能是我们了,几个女人可以,如果换成大男人这样,呵呵,不太可能吧。为什么?你懂得。抵达洛杉矶是晚上8点多,一夜休息,精神抖擞。天气很好,根本没有中央电视台说的什么,美国到处遭遇暴风雪,走之前搞的家人担心我们,我们自己也担心很冷,带的全部是厚衣服,前半程西部自驾,都没带多少薄衣服,热的够呛。酒店门前阳光灿烂,等着免费班车送我们去租车处提车。 我们租车为了讨便宜找了个特价车,果然是便宜没好货,美国也有钓鱼,先拿便宜价钓来客人,然后再以升级车辆,推销保险等待手段加收费用。结果所以的推销备我们拒绝,那家伙很是不高兴。事实证明那台车果然不好,尤其是刹车肉的要命,在高速上踩三脚刹车,还是往前滑吓死人。就这么台车却是我们开的最长,天数最多的,而且后来发现我们认为小点的车好开,纯属误区,后来租的三台车都更大,但却比这台好开的多。 最最郁闷的是行李箱小,6个女人想尽办法,几度调整,最终行李箱里只放进三个大箱子,还有一大一小只能放在后排的车座上。 由于大部分人都到过洛杉矶,环球影城和迪斯尼也都去过了,白天也没有什么特别的活动,因为晚上要看NBA的比赛,所以只能在洛杉矶市内转转,先去圣塔莫妮卡海滩。这个海滩是洛杉矶最热闹的海滩,夏天会有很多人在这里晒太阳,游泳冲浪。但现在已经是12月了,海滩上没有几个人。 其实对于我们来说,这个海滩的风景实在是没什么,但女人就是这样的感性动物,不管什么环境都能自娱自乐。 这也太能自得其乐,就这么个管理员的小木屋都能让我们臭美半天虽然已经12月,洛杉矶依然很暖和,当天气温近30度,戏水完全没有问; 海滩上有很多海鸥,牠们丝毫不怕人其实到圣塔莫妮卡海滩最重要的原因就是这里,66号公路的终点。66号公路是美国的母亲之路。在19世纪时是一条跑马车的路,1927年美国政府投资修路,断断续续修路十几年,终于修成了这条贯穿美国东西海岸的公路,东起芝加哥西止于洛杉矶的圣塔莫妮卡,全长近4000公路。当时正值美国30年代经济大萧条时期,公路的修建为大批劳工提供了工作的机会,其后也为美国西部的开发起到了至关重要的作用。对于我们来说,最熟悉的就是阿甘在66号公路奔跑的镜头。、超大冰淇淋 洛杉矶除了迪斯尼乐园和环球影城,还有个盖蒂中心。这是用石油大亨保罗盖蒂的遗产建成的一个现代化的艺术中心,前后花费十多年才算建成。艺术馆本身不收费用,只是需要付15美金的停车费。从地下停车场直接坐电梯上到楼上,这里有个小小的电车站,坐上免费的电车,蜿蜒到山顶,就看到白色的建筑,那就是艺术中心了。里面收藏品都是盖蒂生前的收藏品,其中很多价值连城的艺术品,最为著名的就是梵高的鸢尾花,莫奈的草垛和美女。这么贵重的画居然没有玻璃保护,也没有隔离栏杆,可以近距离观赏。不过这么价值连城的艺术品,对于我们这几个不懂艺术的人,真是极大的浪费。 里面很多画和圣经以及文艺复兴有关,不懂圣经和欧洲历史完全搞不明白画的是什么,于是两个女伴开始对着画斜批三国,我在后面听得捧腹而不敢大笑,怕影响到别人,如果作者听到她们的解说怕是气的要从棺材里面爬出来,真是暴虐天珍啊。 ([]
