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。 (

加蓬位于中部非洲的大西洋海岸。赤道穿越,为赤道多雨气候,国土面积的85%为热带雨林所覆盖。它有3个截然不同的自然地理分区:沿海平原(范围在离海岸20到300公里之间),山区(利伯维尔东北方的Cristal山脉,中部的Chaillu Massif山脉,其最高处在lbounDJI山的顶峰,1575米)和东部的稀树大草原。沿海平原构成了世界野生动物基金会的大西洋赤道森林带中生态区域的一大部分,还包含了多片位于中部非洲的红树林,其相当一部分分布在与赤道几内亚交界的穆尼河河口处。加蓬(法语:République Gabonaise)是位于非洲中西部的一个国家。其西面是几内亚湾、西北是赤道几内亚、北面是喀麦隆、东面和南面由刚果共和国包围。国土面积大概是27万平方千米,估计人口有150万人。首都和最大城市是利伯维尔。加蓬的经济比其周围的国家繁荣的多,他的人均国民收入是撒哈拉以南非洲平均水平的4倍。这很大程度上要归功于他的海上石油生产。加蓬在1975年到1995年期间是石油输出国组织的正式成员。他是锰、铁和木材的出口国。加蓬最大的河流是奥果韦河,长1200公里。加蓬有3处喀斯特地貌区,几百个洞穴布满在白云石和石灰石上,如Lastoursvil le,Lebamba,Bongolo以及Kessipougou等。许多洞穴至今还没有被人探索过。一个国家地理探险队在08年夏天调查了这些岩洞并把它们记录下来。加蓬同样以对保护自然环境所作出的努力而闻名。2002年,加蓬总统奥马尔·班戈·奥迪巴指定其国土不低于11%的面积作为国家公园的一部分(总共有13个国家公园),是世界上最大的自然公园之一,使加蓬成为了未来重点生态旅游目的地之一。自然资源包括:石油、镁矿、铁矿、黄金矿、铀矿和森林资源 。人口20余万的让蒂尔,是加蓬的第一大港口和重要矿业城市。让蒂尔原称伊益泽,后被葡萄牙航海家洛波·贡萨尔夫发现,便易名为贡萨尔夫。1873年被法国占领。1900年左右,许多欧洲人和周围地区的非洲人来到这里,逐渐形成了一座城市,并以前法属赤道非洲总督让蒂尔的名字命名这个海港。1956年法属赤道非洲石油公司在让蒂尔地区发现两处油田:60年代在这里又发现了一系列海上油田。70年代,石油产量猛增,使加蓬进入非洲著名的产油国行列,让蒂尔亦逐渐成为加蓬的“经济中心”。加蓬最主要的经济活动,石油的开发和提炼,木材的加工和出口,均集中在这里。加蓬90%的石油从这里出口。世界第二胶合板厂——加蓬林业公司胶合板厂也建在让蒂尔,该厂产品一半以上远销欧洲及美国、加拿大、日本等国。我是一名中石化员工,2008年9月,因我所在的中方公司与加蓬石油公司有合作项目,我才有机会来到非洲加蓬国,在让蒂尔周边地区进行了,为期五个多月的石油地震勘探工作。回国前在让蒂尔市区休整期间(就两天),逮到机会就和同事一起去了海边,感受了一下异国风情的海滨浴场,可惜时间紧没能下海游一场。 美女图片在44楼 让蒂尔港(Port-Gentil)是加蓬的第二大城市和主要海港,也是该国的石油和木材工业中心,1993年估计人口80,000。让蒂尔港位于奥果韦河河口的一个近岸岛屿(Mandji),但该岛附近大陆都是森林地区,没有桥梁连接两地。该城由法国人在19世纪建立,以殖民地长官埃米尔·让蒂尔的名字命名。 浴场的这个区域很安静,设施比较高档,一眼就能看出是属于白人区。。。 一个人安静地躺在那儿,晒着日光浴。。。。。 蓝天与白云,海水与沙滩,令人心旷神怡的地方。。。。 浴场很大,还设有吧台、餐饮区、休闲区;晚上还有演唱舞台,供游人自娱自乐,黑人的舞技乐感很棒,可以想象那情景很嗨的。。。 ([]
去大马旅行,事先并没有计划,只是看到机票便宜,证也容易,才动的念头。现在有时间,跑一趟也无妨,做了些功课,那边的海岛漂亮,但去多了没有再去的欲望,放弃。做一次休闲游吧,不去太多的地方,选择了吉隆坡和马六甲两个地方。在网上买了一本LP中文版的马来西亚、新加坡、文莱,打算按图索骥。 订好机票,等待证。夜观天象,13日有东风,乃出发良日,恰巧俺的机票也是当天午时的。哥们的机票是南宁--广州--吉隆坡。 从市区到机场20元,跑37分钟。机场大巴5:30--22:30,每30分钟发一班。 到了南宁机场,找到南方航空公司的窗口,一女坐台,长相略差,感觉她不好说话。果然态度不友好,问啥都不耐烦。俺想要张往返的机票,别人的攻略说在吉隆坡出边检时要看机票的。此女却说老子的机票不是在他们南航买的,你在那买的机票就找谁要发票,NND老子是在网上买的,现在去找谁要?然后烂指头一指行李托运窗去那边吧。 去到南航的自助办理登机手续的机子,把护照号码输入,结果显示不可以办理,俺OUT了。这破机子只认身份证,不理睬护照。去柜台办吧,工作人员说把我的行李直接发吉隆坡,我说行,省得在广州再办一次。心里却在想中转一次会不会丢啊?然后安慰自己不会的。南宁-广州-吉隆坡的登机牌一起打了出来,10点过了安检,就在里边发呆。 飞机晚点了,某猪还真是乌鸦嘴,气!南宁机场 在机场看到军机在起飞,歼7型飞机,老掉牙了,还在玩。 到广州白云机场B航站楼,走到A航站楼很远,不出站走这边的就我一个人。找到国际出发厅,安检、边检,花了不少时间。然后又是发呆,上网。后来发现我呆错地方了,去吉隆坡的登机口在楼下,登机牌没写。闲着没事,拍飞机玩。 正点从广州起飞,快到吉隆坡的时候,空姐发了入境卡,我有几处不会填,请教了别人,我邻座的见我半天没填完,就帮我了。一个国内的旅行团,都是导游帮填入境卡。21:05到达吉隆坡国际机场KLIA,机场很大,识都是英文和马来文,俺啥也看不懂。跟着别人走,东拐西弯的,走了一段长长的路。到了一个门口出去,别人上了大巴,俺停住,拿出行李单问门口的警察,他指了大巴车,我就上去。车子转了一大圈,走了几分钟到另一个门。找到边检窗口,排队等候。国内团的导游居然还问我该怎么办手续,我就叫她让人排好队就行了。 出了边检就是行李到达厅,运输皮带在转,看不见我的包。心想糟了,就几件行李还没人拿,但没我的,就转了一圈看,还是没有。先是拿这行李单给工人看,比划着说我的行李NO,他们明白了就去找,等一会来说NO。指着一个穿绿衣服的人,让我过去找他。看他也挺忙的,几个人围着。一会去和他比划了一下,明白我的处境,用对讲机叽里呱啦的说了一通,老子一句也没听懂。然后用英语对我说,没有找的你的行李,其实我就听懂两个单词,一个是NO,一个是包。我说中文,现在该怎么办?不知道他听懂没有,让我去一个地方,伸出手比划,往前,再往右,再往前,嘴一直在说。反正俺明白了,就过去找。走到没路的地方有间办公室,文字不认识,见人就拿出行李单给他们看,点头让我坐下,知道找对地方了,后来才知道这里是失物招领处。他们拿着我的单子进屋里兜了一圈,又打了几个电话,告诉我机场没有我的行李,我居然听懂了。然后问我要机票,我说没有,只有登机牌,拿给他们看了,又要护照。让填表,老子只看懂了姓名、护照一栏,其他的都不会填,下面还有丢失物品清单,我更不会填了。他们那没有人会中文,让我填了日期和航班号就算了。双方说话都不懂,就看图说话吧,他们拿出一张印有各种箱包的图给我看,俺明白了,指着一个背包。就在一张表格上写,然后又问我什么就不知道了。还是在图上指指点点,我想了一下,估计是问包的颜色。我穿的是红色的衣服,就扯了一下衣服给他看,他发出一个单词,红色?我说YES。他就笑了,指着图上的红色图案。蒙对了一次。 行李丢失无非是还在广州,没有发过来,或者在这里被人拿走了,前一种情况到是不怕,能找回来。后一种就麻烦了,一定找不回。话说偷行李的没听说过多少,肯定会有。奇怪的是老子并不是很着急,也不是很淡定。在空调下还出了几身汗,要是包真的丢了,损失也够我吐几次血的。 用打印机打了一张单子给我,写些什么也看不懂。不断的做打电话的手势,指着单子上的电话号码。我以为是国内航空公司的电话,就叫他们帮打。但他们说不是,再说什么我就听不懂了。看号码也不象国内的电话,然后叫我去5楼找警察,也不明白为什么。走到换币的地方,有几个国人在那里,问谁懂英语,帮看一下单子写的什么?一个男的帮我看了,说这是一份财产丢失证明,其他也没说什么,帮不了我。还是谢谢他了! 折腾到23点了,出了三楼行李厅。上五楼找警察,他叫我下三楼,就这样跑了几趟。还是先换钱吧,看了2家银行都是1元人民币换0.42元马币。换了一些,就去买手机卡,也不知道那里有卖。胡乱问卖东西的,都是马来人,不懂中文。遇到一个华人,说了地方就过去,找了好久,机场太大了。 买到电话卡18.5MR,***们帮我试过说好了,我打中国的固定电话,一阵叽里呱啦的话,听不懂。给***们听,她们说了什么我也不懂,反正打不了。和她们只能用几句简单的英语交谈,多的我也不会。打不通她们也没办法,让去三楼一个卖手机卡的地方去问。下去拿着装手机卡的盒子问工作人员,他指了个方向。(语言不通也能办事)找到了,会说几句中文,说我的卡不是在他们那里买的,不理会。只有在他们这买的才帮看,见鬼了。老子试着拨了国内手机,通了。原来这玩意是不能打固定电话的。 继续找俺的行李,在三楼遇到本航班的空姐,她们问了情况,表示帮不了什么,让我去五楼找南航的服务窗口或许他们有会中文的,可以帮我。问我的导游呢,回说是一个人来的,她们很吃惊。 入境大厅在五楼,去找南航的服务窗口,走了两圈都没找到。那里的工作人员都不会中文,但我说自己是chinese的时候,他们都会表示不会中文,如果有会的就叫过来帮我。找到了东方航空的窗口,一个台湾人帮我问了他们,说南航的下班了,明天也是在这个窗口上班。 有个警察岗亭。排队,到我的时候就拿单子去问,他们又是打了一通电话,还是告诉我机场没有我的行李。我想让他们帮打电话都广州去问看行李是否还在那边。怎么说他们都不明白,他们说什么我也不懂。 有几个中国人在旁边,过去问他们有懂英语的吗?一个女孩问了我情况,他们都叫她帮帮我。警察这边很忙,就去了服务台,她用英语和她们说,再翻译给,她们又在打电话查,花了半小时,弄明白了。 失物招领处给我的纸条上的电话是他们的,让我留电话我没留,我根本就没有电话可留。然后说早上6点再来问一次,如果还是没有就别浪费时间了。中国的女孩要坐1点的飞机,先走了,非常感谢她!服务台的***就做了个睡觉的动作,告诉我6点再来。她会在这里等着我,一定帮忙的。 找地方睡觉吧,这时候去宾馆开房不划算,我知道机场有宾馆,要480元人民币一晚。看看边上的座椅躺着几个人,俺也去找了一个位置,躺下,却睡不着。广播老在响,先是马来语,然后是英语,最后是中文,提醒登机的。 眼睛辣辣的,睁开就难受,但又睡不着,起来逛逛又躺下。居然有只小蟑螂来逗我玩,没心思理它,一口气把它吹到地上,过了一会睁开眼睛,又爬到我腿上了,抓住它用指甲掐了一下,放开它还能爬,再掐一次,放地上,没事一样的溜达。不会吧?没掐疼它?闻了一下指甲,有一股蟑螂的狐臭味。去卫生间洗手,非常干净的,有一股浓浓的香水味,一点臭味都没有,比国内的机场好。 折腾到4点睡着了,5点又醒来,肚子饿了,找东西吃。机场的东西很贵,转了一圈还是吃肯德基吧,打发了肚子,继续回去睡觉,熬到6点多。 去找服务台的***,她打了个电话说行李找到,让我接电话,我说我接有什么用,又听不懂。她说是china,一听对方说中文的,告诉说行李找到了,你去找警察办手续去领,一激动赶忙谢谢她,挂了电话就去警察岗亭排队。早上很多人,机场里的工作人员都要来这里登记、领工作牌,还要在左手腕上套一个纸圈,交1MR。到我的时候,警察打电话去三楼,占线,要我在一边等,他先帮别人办事,约十多分钟,另一个女警打电话。然后对我说了一堆话,就听懂了2,以为要叫2MR,拿出来,她又说NO,没办法她就在我的单子上写了2点钟,我指了左手腕说2,yes 。明白了下午2点再来。看了一下有一班广州来的飞机12点到的。能在机场丢行李的机会不多,各位看官要把握好机会啊! 在机场等到下午2点,浪费时间,进市区去才是正道。溜到一楼找巴士,攻略上说有一辆车贴有2颗星星的是去唐人街的,我看到一颗星的车,没敢上。东张西望的乱转,居然让我找到了大巴车站,看到有去china town的,问了一下,拉客仔说到的,10MR,买了票在等车。其实是两个公司跑这条线,都在拉客,还有人买到8MR的车票。 上车睡觉,要一个小时才到市区的。 到了茨厂街,先急着找Red Dragon Backpacker,事先把地址写在一张卡片上,问了几个人才找到的,住下后才逛街。白天的唐人街不热闹的,卖些小吃、冰镇饮料,空荡荡的没几个人。我住的旅馆 唐人街 突然涌来一群学生,叫喳喳的,在搞什么仪式或活动,全部是讲华语的。聚在一起喊**,振兴华语什么的,开始以为是台湾来的,问一个学生,说是本地的。 人很多几条街都是他们的身影,在相互拍照。一个个的拍,在叫快点,到你了。我插了一句,轮到我了,他们大笑。 唐人街都是中文,看着亲切,没有外来人的感觉。可以说普通话、广东话,小吃也很熟悉。纵横也就几条街,很快就走完了。炙热的阳光,晒得皮肤发烫。喝了一杯罗汉果龙眼冰糖炖冬瓜茶,1.5MR,很多人排队买的,口感不错。 街道狭窄,摊位占据了人行道,延伸到路面了。要在本朝,城管早发威鸟。卫生还好,大家都比较注意。房子大都有些年头了,处在城市中心地带,在某国也是属于强拆对象了。 一个大棚把一条茨厂街罩了起来,大马的雨说来就来,说走就走的,许多当地人出门都带着伞,我的包里也带着伞,用过几次。china town是属于夜色的,下回再表。 看地图,小印度离此不远,想去看看。问了卖冷饮的大嫂,她说了一个方向,只要找到卖黄金的街,一问就知道了。走过一条街转个弯,就不清楚方向了。拿出地图问人,发现很多人不会看。连续有几个人指同一方向,结果走反了。管他呢,都是没来过的地方,那都一样,我也没有固定的目。 看到了老火车站,建于1911年,外表还漂亮,有伊斯兰风格。想进去看看,有门卫守着,锁门的,算了。大巴拉来几车中国游客,一窝蜂的下来拍照,挺热闹的,看着他们很开心的样子。 一对老外情侣,在相互拍,我过示意帮他们拍合影。那女的高兴坏了,亲密的搂着男的拍。然后对我说Thank you very much,一路来都是我对别人说thank you的。俺终于有机会被感谢了,阿门!过街的灯,只要按下去,1、2分钟绿灯就会亮起,行人可以平安过去,我试了还好用。([]

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([]
从贵州回来半个多月了,整整一个月的跋涉和游览,乘坐火车汽车一路奔波,经常忍不住在山清水秀的地方徒步旅行,总行程计10000公里,其中:乘坐火车里程8300公里,汽车里程约1400余公里,徒步里程约250余公里,还有市内交通若干。 一个月中,看到得太多,想到得太多,得到得太多,一时难以品味和消化,以至于兴奋的情绪久久未能平静,迟迟无法安下心来写游记。可好多朋友天天追在后面催债,只好打起精神,努力成文。 这次贵州旅行全是乘坐公共交通,在近一个月风雨兼程的旅途中和其后近两个月撰写游记的日子里,我一面欣赏贵州秀丽山水的旖旎风光和奇异民俗,一面努力寻找与其相关传的传奇典故和古今传说;一面踏访各地的文物古迹和红军长征的红色旅途,一面费力探寻其背后遗留的时代碎片和历史烽烟,希望让这个帖子不仅仅简单地展现一次旅游过程和几张美丽图片,更能告诉朋友们这些图片后面的传奇故事和厚重历史,使一篇游记在时空上有所突破,变得更有厚度,更有伸展性和可读性,让朋友们通过这篇帖子和我一样能了解更多,收获更多,也为自己在未来重读这篇帖子的时候,给自己留下更多的时空记忆,所以我给这篇游记起了个目就叫做:跟老山羊穿越时空游贵州——访旖旎风光奇异民俗后的传奇典故;寻文物古迹红色旅途上的历史烽烟希望大家都能喜欢。此次出行贵州部分行程如下图: 出行时间:9月13日晚22点从沈阳出发,10月13日下午15点回到沈阳,正好一个月。具体行程及到达当地的时间为: 沈阳(0913)—安顺(0916)—兴义(0918)—安龙(0921)—贞丰(0921)—黄果树(0922)—安顺(0922)—织金洞(0923)—贵阳(0923)—镇远古城(0924)—凯里(0925)—朗德(0926)—凯里(0926)—福泉(0927)—麻尾(0927)—大小七孔(0928)—三都(0928)—榕江(0929)—从江(0930)—肇兴(0930)—黎平(1001)—隆里(1001)—锦屏(1001)—三门塘(1002)—远口(1002)—天柱邦洞(1002)—贵阳(1003)—青岩古镇(1004)—南江大峡谷(1005)—开阳(1005)—遵义(1006)—仁怀(1006)—茅台(1007)—习水(1007)—大同古镇(1007)—大足(1010)—重庆(1011)—沈阳(1013) 说起此次的贵州行,本来是去年的旅行计划,但去年8月份,当年和我一起走川藏的哥哥(参见我的帖子《兄弟写行走川藏》https//bbs.8264.com/thread-83145-1-1.html)突然发现罹患癌症,半年后竟不治身亡。 在哥哥最后的日子里,我放弃了计划中的旅行,抛开了工作,一直在医院陪伴左右,亲眼看着原本天性乐观、身体健壮的哥哥受恶疾折磨,一点点失去生活的乐趣和生命的活力,体重从80多公斤在不到半年的时间里就瘦的皮包骨头,最后油尽灯枯,离我们而去,深深感受到在恶疾面前,渺小的人类那种无助和无奈。 送走了哥哥,我更加体会到人生的短暂和脆弱,更应当保重身体,享受生活。正像我的一位朋友在今年中秋给我发的短诗所写:一年转眼又中秋,荏苒光阴似水流。把盏临风思爱友,隔窗对月寄情酬。人生短暂有终点,世事纷繁无尽头。莫让功名空误己,今宵不享待何求? 哥哥生前,曾一直盼望我能尽快退休,希望我退休后能和他一起继续享受旅行全国的乐趣。可这一愿望,竟然终成遗憾! 哥哥去世后,我跟嫂子要来了一直伴随哥哥旅行的佳能SD1400相机留作纪念,并承诺带着它继续今后的旅行生活,让相机代替哥哥观看和记录美丽的祖国山河。于是,今年9月,我带着哥哥遗留的相机,开始了筹划两年的贵州之行。 为什么选择去贵州旅行? 在全国众多的省份中,有几个是我从未涉足,甚至从未路过的省份,贵州就是其中的一个。对这个人们传统观念中天高地远的蛮荒之地,我一直没有太多的关注,也知之甚少。 其实早在2002年我第一次开始自助旅行去凤凰,在租了一辆自行车去阿拉营镇的黄丝桥古城时,知道再前行几里地,就可以进入贵州省,那时就在心里埋下了有朝一日要去这个夜郎国度一探究竟的愿望。 然而,十年中,尽管我每年都要出外旅行,甚至先后去了越南和泰国,而贵州省却一直没有列入我的旅行计划之中,这个美丽的旅游大省也一直没有留下我的足迹。 直到去年,我终于把远行的目瞄向了这里。 为什么要去贵州旅行?一句话两句话说不清楚。在我搜集资料的时候,看到一位贵州朋友写的文章,似乎可以较全面的回答这个问,让朋友们对这个美丽神奇的地方有一个全面的了解,故转发到这里,供大家参考(此篇介绍文章中的插图均来自网络,特此说明):原文地址:https//blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_70f15b1c01017rpx.html贵州:美丽神奇的公园省,自驾游、户外运动的天堂贵州游侠 贵州有着非常宜人的气候,零度以下及三十度以上的气温很少出现。一月份平均气温摄氏四到九度,七月平均气温也只有摄氏二十三度至二十七度之间,夏无酷暑,冬无严寒。地震、台风、海啸及较大的洪水等自然灾害与贵州无缘。贵州境内植被十分茂盛,一年四季到处都是郁郁葱葱的景色。贵州大小江河、溪流遍布,湖泊水库众多,随处可见青山绿水、奇峰绝壁。风景名胜、文物古迹遍布全省各地。一年四季都适合休闲旅游、探险猎奇。 贵州的大小瀑布成千上万,形态各异,美不胜收。除了气势磅礴响声震天的黄果树瀑布和十丈洞瀑布外,有的纤细绵长飘飘洒洒,有的几个瀑布叠成一串浩浩荡荡,有的多个瀑布排成一排各显风采。有的从悬崖半腰洞中喷涌而出如巨龙下山,令人目瞪口呆。荔波小七孔景区十二公里就有瀑布六十八个,兴义市马岭河峡谷六公里内也有瀑布几十个。中国十大瀑布水帘洞之一的穿洞河瀑布,在其五十多米长的瀑下居然贯穿着一条水帘洞,从古代起就成为道路的一部分。黄果树大瀑布 贵州的溶洞也是成千上万,除了被作家冯牧称为:“黄山归来不看山,织金洞外无洞天。”的织金洞、总长达一百一十公里的双河溶洞外。有一眼望去如一轮明月挂在山间的穿洞,有曲折盘旋绵延几十公里穿州过县的长洞,有洞中有洞、洞上有洞、洞旁有洞、洞洞相连,使整个山变空了的空山洞。有如戟似剑的石膏晶洞,有的水中有洞、有的洞中有水、有潭、有暗河激流,还有许多古人类居住过的山洞。有电影[云雾山中]土匪盘踞的窗子洞。有关押张学良、杨虎城的麒麟洞、阳明洞、玄天洞、有在洞口修筑城墙,在洞中躲避土匪战乱的堡垒洞、有在洞中建有飞机发动机制造厂五层厂房的高大洞穴,有洞中吹出狂风的风洞,惠水的波云洞旁一个小洞会吹出寒冷的风,即使是盛夏你也不敢在此久留。有上万个燕子盘旋其中的燕子洞,蝙蝠居住的蝙蝠洞,。溶洞中景色各异、美丽绝伦。任你打开想像的空间、用尽赞美的词语,也无法形容它的美妙和神奇。织金洞 贵州还有很多天生桥,大方青虚洞天生桥高大宽敞,桥下曾拟作为飞机库和跑道,蒋介石曾在桥洞下宴请过两千多人。黎平天生桥拱型规整圆滑,跨度一百一十九米,桥宽百米,堪称世界之最。瓮安仙桥居于高山之巅远望如天桥一般,有许多天生桥已被作为公路桥使用, 纳雍的九洞天、大方的八洞天更是由多个天生桥组成。湄潭的百面水有二十一个天生桥。黎平高屯天生桥

贵州河流大都流淌在幽深的山谷间,有乌江、清水江、南盘江、北盘江、都柳江、赤水河等较大的河流,还有数不清的支流和小溪,河水清澈,河道蜿蜒,落差较大,景色优美,水质极佳,可用于漂流的河流有八百二十条,已开发漂流的河道就有四十多条。还有数不清的阴河暗流,时明时暗,妙趣横生。北盘江大峡谷及北盘江大桥 贵州有着难以数计的古树名木,直径数米、树龄几百年的各种古树分布在全省各地,树龄千年以上的古树也有几十颗,最大的藤类植物的直径竟达半米。被称为植物活化石的桫椤在黔西北成片生长,硕大的古树被当地人民敬为神灵,从而得到精心的保护。站在苍劲挺拔、饱经风霜的古树下,你也会对它产生深深的敬意和发自内心的喜爱。 在横跨在大小河流和溪沟上的上千个古代桥梁中,除了前面提到的石拱桥、石梁桥外还有各种结构的古朴的木制凉桥、板凳桥、充满了古代人民智慧和勤劳勇敢精神的竹索桥、藤索桥、用竹杆连接两岸树木形成的竹杆桥、以伸到对岸的树根为梁的树根桥。以铁链固定在巨石上连接两岸形成的铁索桥。以砖为料的砖拱桥,以石为墩以木为梁的木梁桥,将石料固定排列在水中形成的汀步桥。无一不以其原始、古朴的风貌展现在人们的面前。反映了古代劳动人民的聪明才智。荔波小七孔古桥

贵州境内还保存有几十段数公里长的古驿道,这些古驿道均为石板或石块铺筑,经过数百载风雨的洗礼,已经非常光滑洁白,古驿道上有驿站、关隘城楼、烽火台、屯兵堡垒。古桥古树。三国时期关羽之子关索修建的关索古驿道留下了一路的遗迹和多少神奇的传说。巾帼英雄奢香夫人修建的龙场九驿还一段段残留在乌蒙山脉上,一座座古桥为你讲述着一个小女子的博大胸怀。从孔明塘、孔明山、诸葛洞、诸葛峡、孟获屯、双泉寺等三国遗迹中似乎还能感受到历史的硝烟。青岩古镇定广门前古驿道 在贵州各地都有着众多的古代达官贵人、文人墨客留下的摩崖石刻、摩崖造像、岩溶造像、古碑刻、岩画及被称为写字岩的古代文字遗迹。关岭的红岩碑留下了难以破解的千古之谜,反映了贵州丰富的历史文化底蕴。贵州摩崖石刻 贵州古代各民族的墓葬也非常奇特:苗族的洞葬是把棺木集中存放在两面通风的岩洞中,水族是将遗体放入用精制石板做成的三层棺木的下层,而将其日常用品及粮食放入上面两层,以供主人“享用”,并在石板外面刻上花卉及主人生平经历的图案及文字。还有一种崖墓是在垂直的岩壁中间开凿出墓室将棺木放入,然后安装石门。满族墓葬则是将土坟用料石封包,在料石表面雕刻精美的图案及文字,并修筑高大的墓碑及宽敞的拜台。近年又发现花溪一个岩洞里有用一段整木料凿成的棺木,彝族的向天坟被称为中国西南的金字塔。夜郎王的坟墓则像一个卫星接收天线。贵州古墓 许多曾经走出家乡的贵州名人的墓葬也保存完好,如贵阳的李端棻,曾任清朝礼部尚书,是北京大学的首倡者和戊戌变法的幕后领导人。黔西的李士杰,廉洁勤奋,官至兵部尚书。思南的田仰为明清两朝兵部尚书。思南的郭石渠,任清朝监察御史,勤政廉洁、关心农民疾苦,力遏吏治弊端。曾任山东巡抚、四川总督的织金人丁宝桢重视海疆的巩固和枪械的制造,关切黄河的治理、打击贪官污吏、关心民众的疾苦。凯里的孙应鳌曾任多种要职,被提任工部尚书而谢绝。在家乡著书人。都匀人扶纲曾任明朝最后一任礼部尚书、兵部尚书,忠君爱国,将被吴三桂杀害的永历皇帝遗躯迎回,安葬在自己的家乡。黎平何腾蛟曾任相当于现国防部副部长的兵部右侍郎,明朝灭亡后宁死不屈,自缢身亡。遵义的黎庶昌从光绪二年起就先后担任清政府驻英国、法国、德国、印度使馆参赞,并两度担任驻日使馆钦差大臣。普定人任可澄曾任云南、贵州省长及北洋政府教育总长。花溪人刘清曾任山西巡抚,曾千里迢迢将油茶树苗带回家乡,开发家乡的油茶生产。息烽的明代贵州都指挥使李孟明曾将鞭打奢香夫人的马哗捕押进京。凯里的石邦宪曾任明代贵州、湖广总兵。这些贵州人民的优秀代表永远受到家乡人民和全国人民的尊重和敬仰。他们的陵墓也是记载历史的一页。贵州古墓 由于喀斯特地貌的影响。贵州有着非常多的奇妙的泉井,有的像串串葡萄从井底升起,有的似颗颗珍珠浮出水面,有的如有人控制般一日三潮、一天五涌,还有的一有响声就马上涌出。施秉的双井相隔百米一黑一白。修文的三潮水迎接过无数的名人轶士。荔波的永济泉井低于地面十米,取水要从精美的拱券下沿阶梯进入。丹寨的打鼓井每隔几分钟就会涌出水流,并发出轰隆隆的响声。许多泉井的水下长满了各种颜色的水草,终年青翠诱人。遍布在全省各地的温泉,含有多种矿物成分,非常适合人体需要。 贵州还保存着非常多的古城墙和古城门,贵阳青岩古镇、锦屏隆里古城、黄平旧州古城等保存完好,它们以虽然苍老但依然坚固的身躯,屹立在贵州城乡的大地上。隆里古城

贵州有许多高差极大、幽深狭长的大峡谷,狭窄的一线天、猴跳岩奇特神秘,雄奇的石峰石柱、古老的植物构成茂密的植被贯穿峡谷,泉水遍布,非常适合徒步穿越和露营。随处可见的悬崖绝壁,是攀岩的极好场地, 贵州许多处于原始状态的高山密林、峡谷溪流以及神秘的洞穴,都非常适合进行登山探险、探洞溯溪等户外运动。马岭河大峡谷 许多近现代的矿洞遗址也值得一游,如万山、修文的汞矿,水城的铅锌矿,晴隆的石膏矿等。 贵州一些现代建筑也值得驻足一看,如随处可见的大小不同、结构各异、姿态万千的公路桥梁组成了中国桥梁的博物馆。而各式各样的大小水电站则是中国水电工程的博物馆。桐梓建于四十年代的天门河水电站,已经运行了六十多年未曾大修过。猫跳河短短几十公里的河道中密布八个结构不同的水电站。坝陵河大桥 贵州的各种美食小吃十分丰富,不论你走到哪里,都有令你开胃难忘的美味佳肴。 贵州,三里一景、十里一貌,沿途风光也处处奇妙,如你开着你的越野车游览贵州,景点最少的县也够你玩满一天,而景点较多的县你三天也玩不全。而且如上所介绍的景点绝大部分都没有开发,不但不收门票,还是你们独自游玩的:“私家花园” 贵州:美丽神奇的公园省,自驾游、户外运动的天堂。来吧朋友,你会迷上它、爱上它的。 看了贵州侠客的这篇帖子,我对即将开始的贵州之行充满了期待。 按计划,我在出发前20天上网定火车票。本来原来的计划是从沈阳到重庆,经重庆去遵义,在遵义开始我的贵州之旅。可沈阳去重庆的火车是从哈尔滨发车,网上不出售沈阳出发的卧铺票,这让人很无奈。后来查到有一列从长春出发去昆明的火车经湘西过贵州,可以在网上定卧铺票,于是决定改乘这趟车。本来,如果从少走冤枉路起见,第一站应当选在贵州镇远,可这趟车到达镇远的时间不好,是下半夜的1点34分,于是只好继续往前坐,到安顺下车,因为这趟车到达安顺是早上的6点47分,正好开始新的一天。只是这样一来,我的乘车时间将长达56小时,跨越3300公里,无论时间还是距离都创下了我最长的一次单次乘车记录。 9月13日下午下班后,我去大东副食买了些熏鸡、火腿、方便面等食品水果,然后回到家里。 火车10点54分发车,晚上9点30分,我背起背包,走出家门。虽然出门就有公交车,我还是徒步向2.3公里外的沈阳北站走去。我喜欢徒步,尤其在这喧嚣散尽的宁静的都市秋夜,清风和煦,让人心旷神怡。都市漫步,既可以有效把控时间,又可以运动身心,享受生活,何乐不为? 半个小时后,我已经来到沈阳北站。整修改造了整整两年的沈阳北站终于全面完工,地下通道四通八达,宽敞明亮。出租换乘全部在地下对接。 走出地下通道,安检进站。来到候车室。等车进站。 火车正点进站,上车以后已经11点,关灯睡觉。 D1—D2(0914—0915):火车上 早上醒来,已经6点多钟,火车还没出山海关。 从沈阳和我一起上车的老爷子,87岁了,身体倍棒,自己上下中铺毫不费力,真令人羡慕。 原来,他是和闺女一起来沈阳探亲,儿子给买的回程票。13日晚上儿子送他们到火车站。到车站,闺女一看手里的票,竟然是14日的。因为着急回去,她连忙到售票处办改,还不错,竟然有票,不过原来的两个下铺变成了一个中铺和一个上铺,而且不在一个车厢。没办法,闺女只好把老头送过来,安顿好,然后回到自己的车厢。 记不清了,好像这个就是那老头的闺女。 乘坐56个小时的火车,对许多人是一种难以忍受的事情,对我则无所谓,在我看来,上了火车,它迟早会把你送到你要去的地方,所以,只管像在家一样,该干嘛干嘛。 虽然这条路已经走过了无数次,可我总是看不够沿路的风景。 正是新兵入伍的时节,很多车站都有新兵等待乘车去部队。这是在天津车站等待上车的新兵。 火车上的人们,消磨时间各有各的方法。年轻姑娘们最时尚的当然是玩手机。 车上的美女和美少妇还真不少。还有顽皮的孩子和慈祥的老人 这几位,分别是辽宁石油学院、中国石油大学和青岛石油学院毕业的大学生,幸运地被中石油聘用,被派到昆明参与前些日子引起很大风波的安宁PX石油项目。在火车上,他们小心地和一位当地的姑娘(下图)论证当地人对石油人的态度,担心群众闹事,生命安全得不到保障。 昆明姑娘说话语速极快,机关枪一样用本地话给他们解答。 火车一路行进,15日晚7点到达湘西张家界。这个地方我2002年来过,那是我第一次开始自助旅行,就是从那以后,我开始了迄今12个年头的自助游经历。 D3(0916):多云转晴 安顺—云峰(七眼桥)—安顺早上,睡醒以后,发现车停了,透过车窗,原来火车刚刚到达贵阳。7点整,火车晚点几分钟到达安顺。下车出站。 走出火车站,先找旅馆。 出火车站前行不远就是一个小集市,许多老乡前来卖菜。其中最引人瞩目的就是身着奇异装束的屯堡妇女。安顺地区,是600年前明王朝屯垦戍边的屯堡的密集分布区。 从贵州中部一直向西,再向西,就是云南。这是从内地通往这个著名的西南边陲最为便捷的途径。从600年前开拓的古驿道到后世修建的公路、铁路,都沿着这个方向不断延伸。 1902年,日本人类学者鸟居龙藏在贵州考察时,在安平县(今平坝县)郊外,看到几个打扮既有别于当时的汉族,又不同于附近少数民族的妇女,引起鸟居龙藏的好奇。向当地人打听:这是什么民族?一些当地人告诉他,这是“凤头鸡”。 第二年,鸟居龙藏的同事伊东忠太在安平也注意到这个特殊的人群。他问地方官员,官员回答是“凤头苗”。其实,所谓“凤头鸡”、“凤头苗”,就是地道的屯堡人。他们是当年江浙一带正宗汉民的后裔,是当年屯垦戍边的将士的妻女。所谓“凤头”,就是凤阳头,是600多年前明太祖朱元璋的家乡凤阳女人的梳头方式。 如今,600多年过去了,这些屯堡女人的装束依然保持着祖制,鹅黄色的长衣大袖,外围黑色的围腰,腰间系上一条彩色丝带。精致的花边透着江南刺绣的神韵。长发挽起用圆网罩于脑后,并且佩戴着玉簪等首饰。这些明朝皇帝朱元璋老家汉族妇女的正统装束“凤阳汉装”,屯堡女子一穿就是600多年。 据说“文革”初期,有造反派来强迫她们卸去“奇装异服”,可他们一走,女人们照样又汉装穿上身。 与外界长期的误判形成鲜明对照,屯堡人对于自己的身份有着清晰的认识,在安顺,哪怕是目不识丁的乡下农妇,你问到她什么民族,来自何方时,她都会毫不犹豫的回答你:“我们是屯堡人,我们的祖上是朱元璋‘调北征南’的时候来到贵州的。” 屯堡及屯堡文化和其背后的传奇故事,正是我此次来安顺旅行最感兴趣的东西之一。 走过集市,来到安顺汽车客运站(客运南站,安顺有好几个客运站——除了南站,还有西站和北站等等),在这里找个小旅店,安排住下。 安排好住处,放下背包,出去逛街。 本来按照原来的计划,今天准备去云峰屯堡景区,可昨天在火车上吃糖时,把嘴里的一个烤瓷牙牙套粘了下来,这下子吃东西非常不方便。必须得赶快修好,这是个大事情,关乎今后一个月的顺利旅行,所以我改变计划,今天先在安顺市内转转,顺便找地方修牙。 走出旅馆,走进车站对面的小巷,里面是一个很热闹的集市。还有一个小学校,一群孩子正准备上学。 在小巷转了一圈,回到南华路上,继续北行。 毕竟是南国,此时,沈阳已经秋雨降温,人们全副武装。可这里的姑娘们还是一身短打,看着就清爽。。 来到转盘塔山东路和塔山西路的交界处,这里有安顺的名山——西秀山,这是一座在平地间突起的石山,峻峭挺拔却并不太高,大约有三十米左右,山上有一座石塔,洁白如洗,塔身呈锥形六边体,七级,据说始建于1326年,是元代安顺三大建筑之一。 山下有绕山一圈的休闲公园带,很漂亮,上山有木制的栈道,沿栈道登上山顶,顿时视野开阔,小小安顺尽收眼底。 从山上看,山后有一座天主教堂,是一栋四合院建筑,很宽大,整个建筑似乎都是老建筑,但在礼拜堂的后面,竟然有一栋中式的亭阁式的建筑及几栋高大的中式砖木古建筑。 下山继续北转,这里可以看到西秀山全貌。 山脚下是一个小广场,一群人正在跳街舞。 中秋快到了,这里还准备举办月饼展销会。 小广场旁边,西秀山脚下还有一座寺庙,名为“圆通寺”。是两进的庙宇,据说始建于1352年,后来逐渐建成一组宏大的建筑群,曾排名安顺三大寺庙之首。但到“文革”后仅剩一座大雄宝殿,近年已经修复。 圆通寺旁边就是我在山上看到的天主教堂,这是一个四合院建筑,两厢是二层楼,正面是礼拜堂,墙面是用精石料砌筑成正三角形,顶部有十字架。 走进礼拜堂,麻雀虽小,五脏居全,很像那么回事。 看过了圆通寺和天主教堂,继续前行,来到有一个十字路口,这里正在进行路口改造。透过围栏,看到街区对面有一组古建筑,这就是安顺武庙。 安顺武庙是很有名气的建筑,原名慈云寺,据说始建于明洪武十五年(1382年),有600余年历史,原名寿亭侯祠,后改称关帝庙。清康熙五年(公元1666年)改建为武庙。在民国八年(1919年)因将关羽、岳飞合祀,又称关岳庙。但安顺人一直称其“安顺武庙”。 武庙大殿石柱堪称安顺各寺庙之冠,36根石柱全系整料白料石,柱间均用厚木枋穿斗连接,其选料之精,雕凿之实,连接之妙前所未有。整座武庙囿于地理,占地不广(仅3200平方米,为文庙的三分之一),但其规制齐备,布局精致,殿宇楼阁相得益彰,廊庑厅厢各呈特色,座北朝南之象观亦合武运之道。武庙泮池成八梭形,暗合八卦,此亦有别于其他古建筑,为武庙增色不少。大殿塑像有二,皆关羽像,一为坐像,一为行像。一殿二像且为同一人,此构思布局匪夷所思,为天下唯一。其柱联贴切有味:“兄玄德,弟翼德,德兄德弟;师卧龙,友子龙,龙师龙友。”([]
《序》 置身车水马龙,霓虹闪烁的都市,竟然觉得如此陌生。眼前晃动的,依然是棘丛倒木、悬崖峡谷,还有那雄浑的山脊和广阔的苔原。徜徉在长白山的怀怉,与世隔绝的7天6夜已成我与队友们生命中不可磨灭的一部分,必将带给我们永久和激动人心的回忆。 对于每个户外人来说,穿越长白山无疑都是一个美好的梦想。然而,由于长白山特殊的地貌和管理等方面的原因,并不是每个人都有机会实现这个梦想。对于立志成为吉林户外精英团队的特战山地旅来说,穿越长白山更是我们的一种责任和荣耀。2008年,我们胜利完成了长白山南北大穿越(https//www.ccfreeman.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=24453&extra=page%3D8),然而,这个胜利无法让我们感到满足,因为我们的计划设定的只是从一个位置登上天池火山口。2010年,当我们准备从多个位置再次登上天池火山口时,途中遭遇了恶劣天气,不得不临时改变线路,抱憾而归(https//www.ccfreeman.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=27995&extra=page%3D4)。 2011年的“十一”长假,我们再次向长白山发起冲击,并设定从北坡、西坡和南坡各找一个位置登顶天池火山口。计划名称定为《“三点看天池”7天6夜长白山大穿越》。在4号界碑和6号界碑间,属于我方天池火山口的范围,被北坡景区和南坡景区分割成三部分,连续穿越很难实现。我们所设定的计划,实际上是一次跳穿,而在酷似盆沿的火山口上实现跳穿,除了大落差的上升和下降之外,更要绕过景区和公路,难度和强度大大增加,此外,还必须经过进山和出山的漫长的原始丛林穿越,其间,峡谷遍布,倒木纵横,因此,时间对于这次计划的完成来说更是一个不得不考虑的因素,7天6夜并不宽裕。 感谢上苍,赐给我们晴好的天气。当计划制定周密并准备充分后,天气便是计划成败的决定因素; 感谢大山,保佑我们平安。山是有灵性的,当你怀着执着的朝圣之心走向她的时候,她终将会敞开怀抱接纳你; 感谢队友,给我勇气和信心,你们的一路相伴,才终于让我有机会筑梦成真。 这次穿越,对于年轻的特旅来讲,创造了两个记录: 一是连续负重穿越时间最长的记录—15小时;二是无补给连续露营时间最长的记录—6夜。 对于每个参加穿越的队员来说,每个人都有各自不同的收获。而对于路线的设计和活动的组织者来讲,此次行程对我来说更有不同寻常的意义—四十岁的生日,我正是在穿越途中度过的。先上几张片子: 《秣马厉兵》行走在都市的街头,我的步伐比以往任何时候都更加坚定;环顾往来的人群,突然产生一种凌空俯视的感觉。有人说,喜欢户外的人大多比较自我,回想起7天6夜的经历,这一刻,这种特质在我身上被瞬间放大。为什么要登山,为什么要穿越?这个话实在无需浪费笔墨。酒逢知己饮,诗向会人吟。道不同,不相为谋。能来这里阅读文字的,必定是同道中人。话似乎有些扯远了,还是回到这次穿越,从计划的制定说起吧。顾名思义,特战山地旅(以下简称特旅)的活动自然是以山地穿越为主。根据时间和强度划分,目前特旅的活动主要分为四类:一是休闲计划,以短途的户外放松娱乐为主,同时给家人和朋友创造亲近户外的机会;二是训练计划,就近就便,以提高户外技能和锻炼体能为主;三是作战计划,主要利用双休日或小长假对省内的陌生山地进行穿越,露营一到二日,活动有一定的强度;四是攻坚计划,利用长假,进行长线山地穿越,全程负重,露营三日以上,活动的强度、难度和危险性并存。以上活动分类中,最令人期待、最激动人心、最值得回忆的当属攻坚计划。然而,由于时间关系,一年之中,最多也仅“十一”和“春节”这两次机会。而春节期间,由于习俗的季节的原因,基本很难出行。因此,对执行攻坚计划来说,“十一”长假就显得更为珍贵。自2007年5月成立以来,特旅每年都会利用“十一”长假进行攻坚作战,2011年的“十一”,自然也不会例外。几个月前,队友们就关切地询问这次计划,当时我一直盘算着去长白山锦江大峡谷穿越。直到临近“十一”时,我突然改变主意,决定还去穿越长白山。因为穿越峡谷用不了太多时间,却会为此浪费整个“十一”长假,实在可惜。还有,去年因天气原因,没能按预定路线完成长白山的穿越,让我一直耿耿于怀,总想补上这个缺憾。再有,就是长白山的壮美和博大,时时呼唤着我再次投入她的怀抱。目已确定,穿越的思路也很快成型。第三次去同一个地方,线路的复杂程度必然要超过前两次。三坡连穿虽无法实现,但三坡跳穿总还不成问。接下来需要做的,就是详细的线路设计,这是一项非常耗费心血的工作,需要收集大量的信息,需要反复的权衡和比较,需要想像和假设,需要不断地否定。过程虽很痛苦,但痛苦的煎熬注定会有收获,在出发的前3天,穿越的详细线路终于出炉,所有穿越用图的准备也同时完成。直到这时,我才长出一口气,感到无比的轻松。“把每次户外行动当成作战任务来对待,不打无准备之仗”,这是特旅的一贯作战原则。路线制定越周密,准备工作越充分,计划成功的机率就越高,发生危险的机率就越小。最不费力气的,当属队员的选择。熟悉的,经常一起出队,已经熟悉得不能再熟悉;说不熟悉的,也并非只是一面之交。总之,彼此之间,大家都已相当了解。至于装备和食品的准备,由于有以前的经验做参考,个人东西自己准备,公用物品按分工落实,一切准备工作按部就班进行。9月28日,行前准备会议召开。除了远在吉林的驴行者外,所有队员悉数到场。会上,我向队友们介绍了穿越线路和行程注意事项,并对装备准备情况进行逐项落实,队友们集思广益,对很多细节问进行了探讨和明确,游医和佳一将买好的公共食品发放给大家分头携带。一切就绪,只待出发。 本次穿越过程中所使用的地图和备用图:出行前的准备会上,讲解穿越路线: 公共食品和装备称重: 行程文字写的太慢。先再上几张照片:第一天:夜入深山节后上班,听说“十一”期间我们去了长白山,同事女孩儿以为我们只是在山中找个地方一猫,呆了七天六夜然后就出来了。实际上,我们的行程远非她想像的那样简单。七天六夜,我们一直在与时间赛跑,一直在与自己抗争。如果没有亲身经历过,很难体味到其中的艰辛。七天六夜,我们风餐露宿,疲于奔波,每天除了睡觉,吃饭,其余时间全部用来赶路。而这里所说的路,根本就算不上路,除了天池火山口附近及刚入山时有一小段路有人踩过的痕迹外,其余所到之处根本看不到人迹。我们硬是用自己的身体和双脚,怀着必胜的信念,凭借无畏的勇气,在荆丛倒木、峡谷溪流、高山草甸、陡坡碎石间,开辟了一条通往胜利的艰难之路。经过6个小时的颠簸,载着九名特旅战士的大客车于10月1日凌辰1时抵达二道白河镇。在寒冷漆黑的街头,经过20分钟的等待,热心的出租车司机帮我们联系好了25元一位的旅店,但经大家简单商议,最终放弃了临时住店的想法,决定连夜进山。于是,三台出租车分别载着三名队员,刺破浓重的夜幕,无声地驶向长白山北坡山门。不到30分钟,车辆顺利到达预定的穿越起点,付过车款,告别司机,我们整理好行装,离开公路,一头扎进暗无边际的原始丛林。此刻刚好凌辰2时。9月30日17时,在长春黄河路客运站等车。不出门不知道人多。一路走来,车上,路上,站里,到处都是人。发车比平时晚了一个半小时。没有办法,长假使然,就这国情。寒冷的二道白河街头(拍摄时间:2011.10.10056)包车三辆,即刻进山到达穿越起点:整装待发(拍摄时间:2011.10.10159):一头扎进茫茫的原始丛林:对于特旅战士来讲,夜战已习以为常。开始的一段路,灌木密布,地上是松软的腐殖,头灯的光线在黑暗中显得异常明亮。接下来是松树林,地上是厚厚的青苔和松针,偶尔需要跨过一些倒木,相对来说,这种地貌的通行速度已经是很快的了。经过一条深沟,两次跨过沟中的小河,地势略有改变,爬坡的感觉开始明显。过河爬坡,过倒木(拍摄时间:2011.10.10305)行进途中,忽然发现GPS的指示方向有些偏移,赶紧校正位置,发现下一个导航点应该在河的另一侧,而此时,河谷变得又陡又深,根本无法跨过。于是,我们继续沿河上行,准备择机跨过峡谷。凌辰四点的时候,我们还没有找到过河的合适位置,大家又困又冷,有的队员建议就地扎营,等天亮再行过河。我马上否决了这一建议,因为距离天亮仅一个多小时的时间,扎下帐篷一会儿天就亮了,再收帐篷很浪费时间。更主要的是,此刻,在满是倒木和荆棘且地势不平的密林中,想找到一块营地是一件非常奢侈的事情。幽深的河谷:稍事休息后,我们继续前行,走出不远,发现峡谷这侧的坡度相对变缓,全体队员小心翼翼下到谷底,跨过谷底河流,准备上升至峡谷对面一侧的上方平台。咳嗽在前面探路,爬了一半,发现上方有一个断崖,断崖下方土质疏松,滑坠的危险极大,于是我们决定放弃这个位置,全体人员又下到谷底贴着崖壁继续前行找路。上有断崖行不通,我们只能撤回谷底继续找路:走出几十米远,发现上方的坡度变缓,似乎可以通过。我和咳嗽卸下背包,在我的帮助下,咳嗽徒手攀到断崖上方,并继续向上探路,不一会儿,咳嗽转了回来,说上方可以通过。终于看到了希望,大家都略微松了一口气,不过仰望眼前的断崖和上方长长的陡坡,心情又变得沉重起来,爬上去并不是一件轻松的事。开文找出绳子,甩给咳嗽,咳嗽再次爬上坡顶做好保护后,将绳子放了下来,先将自的背包吊了上去,然后,队员们拉着绳子,一个个负重爬上断崖,并陆续爬至坡顶。 咳嗽爬至崖上探路:做好上方保护后,咳嗽将绳子扔给队友: 队友们在崖下等待(拍摄时间:2011.10.1 0450)百度在绳子的保护下爬上断崖驴行者和游医爬断崖KEVIN收队,最后一个爬上断崖在我们陆续攀爬的过程中,天色渐亮,等最后一个队员爬至坡顶时,天光已大亮。驴行者拿出炉具,煮了一大锅咖啡,大家分别拿出自己的干粮,就着热咖啡吃下,这就是我们第一天的早餐。 胜利跨过峡谷,三军过后尽开颜(拍摄时间:2011.10.10530)跨过峡谷,就如同红军渡过赤水一样,我们大踏步向着预定的导航点进发。因为一夜未合眼,上午的时候有些头重脚轻的感觉,下午就什么感觉都没有了,大脑基本是一片空白,双脚就是机械地向前挪动。队友们的感觉估计也好不到哪去,因为他们还不如我能熬夜,但是没有一个人喊要休息,要扎营。 大步向前: 原始丛林中的艰难行进:([]
离上次印尼美娜多潜水已经4个月了,今年春节时我跟老爸一起去了帕劳。这次的行程差不多从去年11月就开始计划了,本来想去马来西亚的诗巴丹,可是本人还是经不起诱惑,执意来到了这里。选择帕劳是有几点好处的: 1. 这时正值当地的旱季,降雨量比较小,所以阴天也比较少,充足的阳光有助于水下的拍摄。2. 12月-2月正是蝠鲼 (Manta Ray)交配的季节,所以有机会能看见成群的蝠鲼。3. 来的人比较多,有机会接触世界各地的潜水爱好者,能够互相学习,探讨其他各地著名潜点。4. 几乎没有受到海洋灾难,2013年底的台风海燕虽然完虐了菲律宾,但是帕劳并没有太多损失。2004年的海啸对贝里琉海域造成了一部分的损失,但是对这次的潜水没有太多的影响。5. 这里有世界独一无二水母湖(Jellyfish Lake)。6. 蓝角(Blue corner) 几乎每一年都排在最佳潜点前五名。7. 贝里琉(Peleliu) 是太平洋战争的美军夺岛战役中最惨烈的战场(远超硫磺岛和塞班),值得来看一下,所以帕劳海域的沉船,和战机残骸也很多。--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------缺点是:1. 人太多了,酒店住房率极高,价格也是猛涨。2. 蚊子太多了,被咬率极高,后果也是极差!3. 水下的潜客太多了, 著名潜点会有很多人来光顾,想要停留看蝠鲼要排队。4. 海浪太大了,踮的我想吐, 潜点离主岛克罗尔(Koror)开船时间长,要45分钟。5. 潜水价格出奇的贵! 一般是140美金两潜,宰你没商量。6. 跟中国大陆没有建交(跟台湾建交了),所以没有直航飞到帕劳,只能转机。关于潜水器材,及潜水摄影器材请 点击 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1884010-pid-35951243.html 由于没有直飞航班到帕劳,也因为起初打算顺便去PG岛潜几天,所以我们选择了经停菲律宾,马尼拉。 可是因为航班延误,整个计划都打乱了,所以在菲律宾耽误了3天,然后在帕劳直接潜了两个礼拜。航班: 一般去帕劳可以选择经停韩国,台北,菲律宾,香港的航线也刚刚开通了。住宿: 帕劳的酒店就是一个字, 贵! 按照酒店等级的排行,春节期间房间价格大概是 80 - 500美金一晚不等。餐饮: 这里是旅游胜地,中餐,美式,欧式,日料,韩料,泰国菜,印度菜。。。都可以看到。价格吗?我们人均每日消费30美金。交通: 当地人很少,没有公共交通,一般就是出租车,或者酒店或饭店的专车接送,其实步行也很方便。安全: 其实听一位台湾朋友说起,这里还是不要在夜间出行,因为路灯比较暗,所以可能汽车司机会看不到你。天气: 热带雨林气候,经常下雨,一般气温在26-31度。货币: 美金网络: 巨慢无比(很难想象一个旅游胜地的网速,竟然会慢到这种地步,一棒打回中世纪时代)语言: 英语或帕劳当地语电压: 110V, 和美国的一样。准备物品: 蚊香,驱蚊水,水下相机,防晒霜,浮潜三宝,美眉们不要忘记比基尼哟!(如果还有其他想要了解的,请在这里回复我)这里没有过山车,没有摩天轮,没有米其林餐厅,也没有大型购物商城,但是在这里度过的两个礼拜里,每一天都不枯燥乏味。 这里有ROCK ISLANDS, 牛奶湖,水母湖,蓝角,大断层,德国水道,这里有碧水,蓝天,绿树,彩虹。 无论你喜欢深潜,浮潜,泛舟,冲浪,还是汽艇,海钓,徒步,航拍,在帕劳你都可以享受的淋漓尽致。 当然,你也可以躺在沙滩上晒太阳,去看看二战时的战场,与美人鱼,海豚嬉戏,或去吃一口当地著名的“养颜蝙蝠汤”!就算单纯的乘船在ROCK ISLANDS 之间穿梭也是一种快乐的体验。这个地方适合所有人,无论情侣,夫妇,老少,还是潜水狂热爱好者(本人),都会在此享受美好的时光,还等什么? 准备好你的行囊,开始新一段神奇的旅程吧!新断层 (New Drop Off) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161442.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162496.html蓝角 (Blue Corner) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161638.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161986.html蓝洞 (Blue Holes) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161457.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161513.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162547.html赛伊斯角 (Siaes Corner) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44163159.html钢盔残骸 (Helmet Wreck) 潜水图片及文字介绍:https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161715.html吊灯洞穴 (Chanlelier Cave) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162996.html大断层 (Big Drop Off) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161688.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162054.html乌龙峭壁 (Ulong Wall) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162090.html德国水道 (German Channel) 潜水图片及文字介绍https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44164132.html牛奶湖+红树林独木舟+水母湖+浮潜一日游https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44164524.html贝里琉岛的战场遗址https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44194828.html鲨鱼https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44164334.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44164211.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162015.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162065.html海龟https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162977.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161705.html蝠鲼https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44164174.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44164137.htmlJackfish Stormhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44161643.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44163507.html苏眉https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162028.htmlhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44162070.html-----------------------------------------------------------------------------著名潜点的位置分布赛伊斯角 Siaes Coner - 6乌龙水道 Ulong Channel - 8乌龙峭壁 Ulong Wall - 65沙地天堂 Sandy Paradise - 64蓝洞Blue Hole - 11蓝角Blue Corner - 12新断层New Dropoff - 16海龟湾Turtle Cove - 30大断层Big Dropoff - 32德国峭壁German Wall - 34德国水道German Channel - 35水母湖 Jellyfish Lake - 39玫瑰花园Rose Garden - 40吊灯洞穴 Chandelier Cave - 2砗磲贝城 Clam City - 42牛奶湖 Milky Way - 48零式战机残骸 Japanese Zero - 49伊洛残骸 Iro Wreck - 55钢盔残骸 Helmet Wreck - 58(图片转自网络)具体帕劳深潜须知: 在帕劳潜水(Rock Islands)是需要许可证的!有效期是10天,无论你是深潜还是浮潜都是一定要买的,而且要携带,必要时要出示;如果让海上巡逻员发现你没有携带,那么会有100美金的罚款。(丢不起那人啊!)Rock Islands Permit 50美金Rock Islands Permit + 水母湖 100美金和其他地区不同,在帕劳潜水需要开很长时间的船才能到达目的地,一般是早晨9点左右出发,我建议你带上冲锋衣,阴天下雨时,冷风嗖嗖的,为了身体健康一定要准备。这里的潜点一般不管你的潜水设备与气罐的安装,无论你的潜水装备是租的还是自备的,都要自己安装。(所以如果你还是新手,潜水之前还是再温习一下吧)很多潜点的水流非常急,如果你刚刚考完OW证,那么在这里你会发现挑战性很大,做好心理准备。很多潜店都提供免费的 NITROX 32% 气罐,来之前考一个NITROX 证吧。如果你的水下相机是单反,那么鱼眼或广角镜头是必备的。潜点:NEW DROP OFF 新断层潜水级别 初级适合深度: 15-20米新断层可以说是一个小型蓝角,这里你会见到很多海龟,鲨鱼,和热带鱼群。苏眉以及其他大型鱼种在这里也是常客。 新断层的靠近海岸的地方差不多在10米左右,这里有很多种硬珊瑚,然后突然下降至几百米,算是一个峭壁 (WALL DIVE), 在20米左右,你也能看到多种海龟。Napoleon Wrasse 苏眉第一天第一潜刚下水就有这么一个大家伙来迎接我们,估计哥们儿都见怪不怪了,丝毫没有一点胆怯。嘴唇是不是很性感?潜水时会经常看到其他潜团的人,这一组正在使用流钩(Reef hook),固定自己来观察鱼类。老爸拿出他的 GoPro 3, 好像在瞄准鱼头一样。流钩一般固定在BCD的中部,这样能够使你平衡。对比之下看出这条苏眉有多大了吧?我们继续潜行,不知下面迎接我们的会是什么?原来是小鱼群啊,没意思,大鲨鱼在哪?很多鱼藏匿在珊瑚之间今天还去了水母湖,先上一张图,吊吊大家胃口,其他关于水母湖的介绍和图片请点击 339楼 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-2051327-pid-44164874.html楼主大脸自拍,突然一只水母给我迎头一击!(图片转自网络)第二天 蓝洞 BLUE HOLE图中的一对潜客是来自瑞士的夫妇,目测70多岁了。潜水级别: 进阶适合深度: 28米-30米蓝洞是形容一片离海面几米处深的礁石,这篇礁石上有4个洞,全部都连接着一个大型洞穴,我们的船停在礁石边上,潜入海里后至15米处有一个洞穴的入口。 距今几百万年前,当时海平面还没有这么高的时候,淡水慢慢侵蚀了这片岩石,从而形成了现在的状态。洞里除了一个墙面上的一个电贝(disco clam) 以外,几乎没有什么吸引人的生物了。主要是看洞穴型态。从洞里出来了以后我们向左边继续潜行。时不时的也能看到各种颜色的柳珊瑚有人叫它 crocodile fish, 也有人叫它 flathead fish, 我叫它crocodile flathead fish......(扁头鳄鱼鱼?)一把年纪了也卖萌! 老版哈利波特!
