星期二,遇见一个国家叫朝鲜每个国家都是品牌。 都有特色, 小心翼翼是行前行中不断提醒自已的箍, 在这个国家,要有自制力,不能任性。 哪怕你是摄影师也要放下身段,不能拍的,始终不能拍, 城市无码,心中有码。 伟大和伟大充满着世界, 有鲜花时送鲜花, 该鞠躬时就鞠躬。 香烟,丝巾,文具是不二的小费。 导游的筒裙、高跟鞋是不同于一般市民的一种时尚意义, 之外,更是在你身边,前后左右若隐若现。 无形告诉你,这里是墙,那里是墙。 界线严明, 确怀疑过剩。 有人说这里的人民很幸福, 我想说:嗯,……。 朝鲜有朝鲜的文化, 有惊人的革命历史, 有举世的发明, 嘹亮的歌声中,透出整齐划一的步划, 伟大构成了幸福。 人民享受着:粮票,布票,矿泉水票,鸡蛋票,油票,,,,, 还有,好空气。 但物价,对中国人却高得出奇。 三天的行程,我竟然很想回家, 真是很无耻的想法。 原因可能是胃不好,总是有饿感。 回国后,我告诉别人:在星期二,我去了朝鲜。 然后,别人一脸的惊奇。 特别提示:胃不好者,请多带食品,尤其是喜肉者。 回上海了,看到如此多的回贴,真的很惊奇。但我想说,这个贴子,只是一般的摄影贴,并非焦点访谈。大家评评拍得好与不好,我就很开心了、或大家玩笑话说说也未尝不可。有关于政x治方面的事,本人不太懂。这方面的事,如有不同意见,请去政x治版块开贴,或请直接去中x南x海(地址:天安门边上附近),那才叫有种! 如这条路行不通,移民也行,没钱去美国的话,非洲也可以。等这里让你觉得还可以住的话,再移民回来也是很好的选择。 在这里发牢骚与事无补。也不用装着很懂。导游接机后,问我们要了行程。一看,如数家珍般改变了若干的行程。万寿台是第一站。宏伟的雕塑前,前来献花鞠躬的人,一队接着一队。小朋友竟然连伞也不打,冒雨献花 看着被雨淋湿的小朋友,有点百感交集。我想,了解朝鲜这才刚刚开始吧外国游客来这里,必须买鲜花,必须去伞去帽去墨镜,必须鞠躬 军人来得和群众一样的多,一拨又一拨。可见伟大领袖在他们心目中的份量 广告与现实的距离 导游们在这里有偶遇也有常遇 雕塑前方,是开阔的视野雨不小了,参观完后,我们撤回中巴。中巴边上的一轿车,引起了我们的注意,没有LOGO,也猜不出是什么牌子,但看上去有点像美国车 隔着二层车玻璃,快速的拍一张 继续发片咯,,,, 参观完毕,婆孙俩出门相送国营店的营业员向我们介绍香烟,我们每种买了一包。试烟后,再决定买哪一种 转眼,我们来到被朝鲜抓获的美国间谍船上参观。在这里,我觉得美国人的脸每天都在被朝鲜抽着。船上比较狭小,船边也只能过一个人,从一个窗口,我偷窥了一下 各种设备,已证明是间谍船无疑。(https//news.163.com/09/0324/13/5564T3N2000136CK.html) 有兴趣的,可以看一下联接。 船上的水兵,明显有苏联水兵的影子船上的解说员,中文说得特别好,还带有东北味道。走起,下一个目地,平壤地铁,,,, 人少车少,空气好 走进地铁口,好像有一股的湿霉味,不仅仅是这里,很多室内地方,都有这种小小的味道。可能,我们的嗅觉,太落后。这分明是太阳的味道。这里有世界上最深的地铁,这是一条长达百米的电梯。据说,最深的达300米,我想再深的话,就可以穿透米国了 走过一段漂着太阳味的长廊,一转,站台出现 对于陌生的人,我理解这种眼光 “红灯记”不仅仅是中国的,更是世界的 读文看报,有文化 拼图展示社会主义一片光明,是马赛克拼的。不过,此马赛克不是彼马赛克,你懂的 先上后下 我们进了第一节车箱,好像这是专门为外宾准备的。车开动了,我恋恋不舍的回头看了一眼红灯记MM 找个空的车箱,摆一下POS ([]

更新时间: 2024-07-10 14:20:42
前段时间准备休年假,和老公讨论去哪玩儿。俺俩都是爱吃的人,对美食情有独钟,在郑州基本每星期都要吃几个地方。想当年谈恋爱的时候,一个重要的保留节目就是:吃饭。呵呵,那时候他父母正好在广州给他哥哥带孩子呢,所以俺们是每天,中午,晚上都在外面吃,吃了大半年,就这样吃进了婚姻……哈哈,废话少说,转入正。话说两个爱吃的人最想去的地方是哪里(补充下,俺俩都可能吃辣)?当然是天府之国——四川了。其实这个念头我们去年就有了,可是,可是,由于众所周之的原因,俺们没能去成……去年4月,俺们决定5月份去成都玩,结果没去成,震了;去年12月份,俺们又准备去三亚玩,结果又没去成,霍乱了……俺老公QQ的个性名都变成:度个假咋这么难呢?呵呵。俺的年假是10天,可是工作繁忙,领导只同意俺休5天。老公时间比较宽松,所以,加上两个周末,俺们只能休9天的假。于是,定于6月13日正式出发。第一步,定机票。一个朋友告诉我了一个定机票的网址,上去一看,赫,价格还真是便宜哦。郑州飞成都,最低价237元,加机场建设费也才287,比火车卧铺还要便宜哈。最重要的是非常节省时间,因为俺们总共才休9天啊。但是因为领导还没正式批俺的假,所以没敢定。等周一上班跟领导说好,机票价格又涨了!还是俺那个朋友,她是经常到处飞的,说帮俺定算了,结果……人家在南航网站上定了个往返套餐,1人750含机场费,有够便宜吧?但是,人家只订上了一个人的!我慌了,这不让我和老公分道扬镳嘛!于是赶紧又定,结果那个票价是一路飙升啊,我犹豫了两小时还是定了,万一最后同班飞机没票了咋办,后果相当严重啊!最后的价格是两个人往返所有费用1838元。搞定!接下来,定酒店。先是看上了成都国际青年旅社,后来觉得太专业了,俺们可是离驴友的档次还差好大一截呢。后来在熊猫故乡网站上看到了推荐酒店的一个帖子,就上去看了下,没想到还真找到了满意的,是一个酒店式公寓,名字叫“成都之家”,展示图片都很漂亮,就像自己家一样感觉。我很喜欢就定了6晚。后来等真正住进去,发现真是物有所值,房间真的很漂亮。一室一厅一厨一卫,40平米左右,还有一个大阳台,位置在王府井,太平洋百货后面的正成财富id,离著名的春熙路北口走路只要5分钟,价格是128一晚。而且闹中取静,晚上也不吵,很好睡哦。描述:酒店的房间先发张酒店的房间图,这个是老板拍的哈~~~我自己也拍了几张,后面附图——是不是很有家的感觉?然后,该安排成都的行程啦。和老公意见一致,此次度假以休闲游为主,不要搞的那么累。真是两个懒人哈哈~~~鉴于时间有限,而我们又想过过嘴瘾,乐山和峨眉山就不去了——这可是著名景点啊,哭~~~但是,估计以后出差有机会去滴,就留点想头吧。老公强烈要求去都江堰,于是决定行程安排如下:青城山1天,都江堰1天,熊猫基地半天,锦里、武侯祠半天,杜甫草堂、青羊宫半天,其他时间就在市内逛逛,吃些大餐和小吃,呵呵。以吃为主~~~对了,插播一下,成都市今年4月份发行了熊猫卡,因为当时已有去成都的念头,就申请了2张,花了十几块钱邮寄回来的。别小看这张卡,这趟下来我们省了将近1000块钱呢,就这还只逛了一半景点,呵呵。今年想去成都的TX赶紧申请吧。 闲话啰嗦完毕,正式飞赴成都。 话说6月13日,俺们起了个大早,赶8点的飞机,随身携带两个拉杆箱,两个背包,还有偶提前打印好的自助游攻略和美食指南,嘿嘿。到成都已经是10点多了,出了机场大门就是大巴,10元1人,如果打车的话到住的酒店要50元左右。该省的钱就要省啊,俺们还是坐大巴吧。不得不说下,成都的机场大巴比我们新郑机场的班次多多了,基本上买了票就能上车不用等,一班坐满开走马上就来班新的,也许是因为人流量大吧。这点我们还是没法比的。 大巴坐到终点站岷山饭店,然后打车去酒店,花费9元。上楼找到老板,办理了入住手续,已经12点多了。老板是一对年轻夫妇,大学毕业后在此创业,人很不错。偶把打印的美食攻略给他看,请他帮忙指正,居然他说了好几个我都有打印,哈哈,看来我的功课做的不错哦。描述:从客厅看过去描述:大大的阳台还是卧室,是不是感觉很通透?住的酒店图片,实拍~~~挺喜欢的是不是很有食欲嫩嫩的蛙肉豆花,真的很好吃,也是成都特色一盘凉菜,好像是鸡,香辣香辣的成都的第一顿饭: 中午决定去吃老板推荐的一家店“自贡好吃客”,那里的跳水蛙是一绝(环保人士请自动忽略哈)。不过他事先提醒我们要微辣就可以了,因为他吃中辣觉得太辣了。偶们已经有些迫不及待了,立马打车直奔目的地,在科华北路川大西门旁边。 这个店的门脸不大,第一次路过竟然没看到。出租车司机又兜了一圈才发现。进店一看,100%的人吃的都是跳水蛙,呵呵。闻着那个香气,俺们的哈喇子都快流出来了~~~等了20分钟,终于端上了锅来,二话不说,开吃!不得不说,真的很辣也很香,借用一句成都话:巴适!岳飞写的前出师表后园美景巨大的滴水观音,离的有点远看不出效果孔明锁,据说可以打开,但我摆弄了半天仍不得要领接着说啊。吃完了美味的跳水蛙,决定去武侯祠和锦里逛逛。到了武侯祠,熊猫卡派上用场了,刷卡免费换票,感觉不错呵呵。因为是周六,所以里面的人还挺多,风景不错,我们顺着人流闲逛,看了几个景点就出来了。印象最深的是后门附近有一个小小的花园,不像我们这里的小花园都是种的花啊草啊什么的,这里种的都是盆景,有盆栽的,也有直接种在地上的,都非常巨大,真是南方特色啊。逛完武侯祠,出来发现还不到5点钟。锦里就在隔壁,但是听说锦里的晚上是最漂亮的。怎么办,就在我们犹豫该去哪里打发时间的时候,一个桥边的露天茶座映入了眼帘。哈哈,真是想瞌睡就来了枕头,早就听闻成都的茶馆是街头一景,泡上一杯茶,你可以懒懒的坐上一天,那个悠闲~~~这个茶座的名字也很美:花间月。于是,我们就找了个靠栏杆的位置坐下来。桌椅都是木质的,头顶有遮阳伞,身后是浓浓的树荫,飘来阵阵凉意,舒服啊~~~一人一杯茶,品味悠闲人生要的是青城山特产的竹叶青,开水一冲,绿意盎然~~~夜色中的锦里休闲的人们你见过这样的星巴克吗?像不像大红灯笼高高挂?在茶座坐了一个多小时,眼看天色渐暗,我们准备去小吃街吃些东西。一路走来,各色小吃琳琅满目,刺激着我们的眼球。肥肠粉不能不尝,伤心凉粉名字特别,还有三大炮什么的~~~我俩东买西买了一堆,开始大快朵颐~~~光顾吃了,没怎么拍照。吃饱喝足,开始逛逛锦里的夜景。白天挂着的一串串的灯笼派上了用场,次第点亮。果然夜色中的锦里美丽迷人,弥漫着浪漫和悠闲的气息。呵呵,住的地方个人觉得还不错。推荐大家去成都的可以看看他们的网站:www.9090950.cn锦里小吃街的肥肠粉肥肠粉,不得不尝的四川小吃,估计爱辣的MM都喜欢~~~台阶旁的同心锁幽静的小路绿意逛完锦里,已经快9点了,我们都有点累。坐车回到酒店,洗洗睡吧,明天一早准备去青城山。6月13日行程结束。14号早上,我定的7点钟的表,结果等我们出门,都已经8点多了。就在酒店旁边的小吃店一人吃了碗牛肉面做早餐,花费10元,味道还不错。貌似成都的随便一个小吃店味道都不错哈~~~吃完面,打车到游客集散中心(10元),几乎所有省内游的线路都在那里发车。忘了说啊,我和老公都非常不爱跟团,感觉那样不自由也玩不好,所以我们一直都是自助游的。买了2张10点钟到青城山的车票,19.5元一张,花费29元。同车的老外很多,几乎占了一小半,想起近来流行的HINI,有点小寒~~~顺利到达青城山,已经快12点了。我们决定先吃点东西再开始爬,不然饿着肚子没力气了~~~在此鄙视一下自己,还没开始行动就吃了两顿了这顿午饭吃的,简直是......反正强烈不建议在青城山脚下的这个饭店(好像叫什么阁的)吃饭!饭是夹生的,还很硬,菜也是,前所未有的难吃。我勉强吃了小半碗饭,就咽不下去了,老公吃了一小碗。不过附近好像就这一家店,生意还很火爆勉强果了腹,我们就开始向青城山进发。一进山门,一股凉意扑面而来,满眼绿色。不愧是青城天下幽啊。虽然是周末,但游人不多,走到幽静处,更是前后无人,颇合我意。突然想起一句话:山中日月长。在这幽静的山中,就是什么也不做,静静的发呆也是好的。爬了10多分钟,我们这经常坐办公室的身板就不行了,俺俩都是汗流满面,气喘如牛。“不行了,歇歇吧”,老公率先垂范。就这样,我们三步一停,五步一歇,2个多小时才爬了一小半。在半山的一个茶社又歇了会儿,吃点东西喝点茶,我们向天师洞进发。终于到了,再歇会儿看来这身板真是该锻炼了。听说去年地震的时候把老君阁震坏了,眼下还在维修,我们就不准备往上爬了。说实话也爬不动了。眼看时间快到5点了,我们还要赶到都江堰住宿,俺们就咔嚓咔嚓拍些片片打道回府了。有个很奇怪的现象,我们爬山的时候,经常在大石头底下看到密密麻麻的树枝,顶在地和石头中间,不知道虾米意思。石头和地之间全是树枝,啥米意思啊山上的道观天师洞,俺们上的最高处天师洞后面的道观夜晚的南桥桥顶的图案独自莫凭栏桥下的滔滔江水继续更新哈。话说我们一路下了青城山,差不多5点半左右,很顺利地在停车场找到了通往都江堰的101路公交车,上车1人2元。不过这2元钱可真值啊,坐了差不多1个多小时(注:都是郊区公路,跑的飞快哈)。主要是听说都江堰的夜市很不错,所以俺们两个爱吃的人,就打算在这里住一晚了,呵呵。因为当初我定计划的时候,是准备住在青城山的,所以都没有查都江堰的宾馆。现在两眼一抹黑,到底住哪儿还心里没谱呢。不过隔不住咱运气好,就在车到了都江堰市区俺们东张西望的时候,发现俺们后面坐了两个老先生好像当地人,于是就请教:都江堰有什么宾馆好住的,离都江堰景区近一些的?俩老先生笑了:跟我们走吧,我们就住那旁边。俺们一听,哈哈,真是老天有眼,下了车屁颠屁颠的跟在人家后面就走。原来就在都江堰景区大门旁边就是一座桥,叫南桥,过了南桥就是南街,街两边全都是旅馆,有点象家庭旅馆那样子的。老公有点洁癖(哼,在此鄙视一下),没办法我们一直往里面走,找了一家99元连锁酒店住了。房间倒是挺干净,可惜太小,连个桌子都没有,包和衣服什么的只能挂墙上,跟我们在成都住的没法比。据说在北京还有连锁,也是99元,难以想象会是什么样子,难不成是地下室?强烈建议在都江堰住一晚上!夜晚的南桥很漂亮,而且很干净,桥下就是滚滚的江水,或凭栏远望,或斜坐桥面,微凉的夜风吹在身上,怎一个爽字了得!对了,临行前我整理了一些青城山和都江堰游玩的攻略,回来后结合自己的体会重新整理了一下,在此发出来,以供TXM参考。青城山前山、都江堰自助游攻略一、交通费用1、成都新南门车站——青城山前山,车票19.5元/人。2、青城山前山——都江堰,出前山山门,在停车场乘101路直达车到都江堰,路程1个小时,车票2元/人。3、都江堰客运站——成都茶店子车站,车票15.5元/人。(注:都江堰客运站只有到成都茶店子车站的大巴,不过茶店子公交车比较多)二、青城山游览路线1、游览门票前山90元/人。2、前山索道(月城湖→四望观)单程30元/人,往返50元/人。3、前山月城湖船票5元/人。4、步行游览路线:前山山门→天然图画(0.8公里)→天师洞(1.5公里)→朝阳洞(1公里)→上清宫(1.5公里)→老君阁(0.5公里)→四望观(1公里)→月城湖(2.5公里)→建福宫。游览下来大约需要半天多。索道游览路线:前山景区大门→怡乐窝→月城湖(渡湖)→缆车上山→凌云山庄→上清宫→老君阁→下山原路返回到上清宫→朝阳洞→祖师殿→天师洞→五洞天→凝翠桥→山荫亭→天然图画坊→怡乐窝→前山景区大门(整个游览需要5个小时)。三、都江堰游览路线1、门票90元/人。2、推荐游览路线:景区离堆入口→清溪园→伏龙观→宝瓶口→飞沙堰、离堆→鱼嘴→安澜桥→二王庙→秦堰楼→玉垒山→玉垒关→西关→城隍庙→十殿→玉垒山景区出口。游玩时间3-4个小时。地震后二王庙后面的景点不能游览(2009年6月份)3、观光车10元/人不需要坐,路程不远。四、住宿前山:星级酒店、山庄别墅不少,适合来青城山度假、养生的游客,间从两百元至上千元不等,但一般季节均可打折。山中部分道观,如上清宫、天师洞(推荐)等也可住宿,20—60元/人。山中还有农家乐,30—80元/人。都江堰可住在南街,有很多旅馆可供选择。五、注意事项1、前山主要是道教文化,文物古迹多集中在这一区域。门票为90元/人。2、重要景点介绍:青城前山的主要景点有天然图画、天师洞、朝阳洞、上清宫、老君阁、四望观、月城湖、建福宫等。3、提醒:青城山的山道入口和出口几乎被各种索道和新修的仿古庙宇遮没了,要找到登山入口和出口不太容易,甚至会有不良工作人员告诉你上山只有坐索道一种办法。所以强烈建议喜欢徒步的朋友买好导游图再上山。还有青城山后山的自助游攻略,因为现在后山没有开放,没去成。听说比前山好玩。在此也发出来,给后来者参考吧。据说年底就能开放了~~~青城山后山自助游攻略一、交通费用1、成都新南门车站——都江堰,车票16元/人。2、都江堰——青城山后山,从秦堰楼后面直接出都江堰景区离堆大门,门口乘101路直达车到青城前山,路程30分钟,大巴车票16元/人。3、青城山后山——成都新南门车站,车票25元/人。二、游山费用1、游览门票前山90元/人,后山40元/人。2、前山索道单程30元/人,往返50元/人;后山金骊索道单程35元/人,往返60元/人;后山白云索道:上行35元/人,下行30元/人,往返60元/人。3、前山月城湖船票5元/人;后山翠映湖船票2元/人。4、后山白云万佛洞门票5元/人;后山水晶溶洞门票10元/人。三、住宿后山总共有三四处可以住宿:(1)山脚下,有很多私人旅馆,也有稍大型的酒店。 (2)山上三分之二处的又一村。 (3)坐缆车的话,还可以住在白云寨。(4)山顶白云寺,寺庙内。如果你想第二天一大早登山,可以提前住在山脚下,但这里四周的风景绝对比不上山上的环境和空气。建议还是住在又一村,这里是整个青城山后山山上住宿和餐饮最集中的地方,全部都是很是私人的旅馆,二层的阁楼,一般都是一层是敞开式的灶台和吃饭的地方,二层或三层全是住宿,基本装修都是差不多,除了两三家外把自己家的外墙和屋檐装修成古代风格的,其他的基本是木本色,一律是落地的窗户,屋里装修一般,有电热水器,所以只要有电,24小时有热水,有电视(频道有限)。又一村住宿的地方比较多,建议你尽量往里多走一些,不要光看眼前的旅馆,在后面还有几个,环境比前几家好一些,前几家基本都是集中在一起,你在二层楼,楼下的人稍抬头就看得到你的全景。后面有一家欣欣酒家的,环境不错,他的楼下是一处平台,好像是一处延伸到山那一面的平台,比较有私人空间,几把太阳伞,下面一个长条四人桌,上面铺着好看的镂空的白色桌布,几把四川味道的竹椅,可以坐在那里看着青山,呼吸着清新的空气,喝得茶,或是撮着饭,最美不过。房价淡季价格为两人间40元/天(不含早)。四、攻略1、青城山后山风景都围绕着山间的溪水,一路飞瀑和水潭,风景好的路线都是溪水流经的路线山间清幽,不会热。但一路溪水多,路虽然好走,但有些地方比较滑,大家要注意。2、最好的主要在两段:五龙坊——金娃娃沱——又一村和翠映湖——百米长桥——金骊索道下站。从又一村——九僧洞——白云寺——天桥这一段只是爬山,没什么特别的风景,可以不去。3、山势不是很陡,路面也不错,且有两段缆车可坐。从山下到半山有金骊索道,从又一村到天桥有白云索道。4、我个人感觉,比较好的旅游路线是:五龙坊——金娃娃沱——又一村——坐白云索道——天桥——翠映湖——百米长桥——金骊索道下站。这条路线可游览所有风景好的地方,且省去了九僧洞——白云寺一线比较无聊的地方和一次门票(5元)。 只是需要坐一次缆车(35元)。如果不想坐缆车也可以从又一村水平沿金骊索道上站步行到翠映湖的下方,然后向上走到天桥再折回。只是要坐两次船(共4元)。到旅馆简单洗洗,我们就沿着江边走,看看有什么好吃的。沿江两岸全是小吃摊,一家挨一家屋顶连绵不绝。夜色渐暗,一串串的红灯笼亮起来,星星点点投射到滚滚江水中,此情此景,说不出的心旷神怡。真羡慕都江堰的市民,这种悠闲的生活是他们的常态,而我们,却是匆匆过客。不过小吃的品种让我们有些失望,和郑州的夜市差不多,都是些螺蛳、大虾、野味、野菜之类的,感觉没有当地的特色。和老公来回转了两趟,也不知道该吃啥。突然想吃串串香。问了路边店的老板,说是市区有一家本地人喜欢吃的“西川红太阳”串串香,于是我们就坐了个本地特色交通工具三轮车,跑了差不多15分钟到地方,花了5元钱。不得不说,都江堰的消费还是很便宜的。端上锅来,二话不说,点串开吃。点串的时候,偶和老公有好多东东都不晓得是什么,左问右问的,汗一个别说味道还真不错。他家的料碟有特色,有两种,一种是香油碟,一种是辣椒碟,就是那种干辣椒末混合了磨碎的干花生,蘸着吃起来很香也够辣!另外发现每个桌子上都有一个蚝油瓶子,不明白干什么用的,后来回成都吃著名的玉林串串香的时候才发现,原来也是加在料碗里吃的,我试过,吃起来有种特别的香味。不过好像只有串串香才有这个,正宗的火锅是没有的,比较迷茫吃完一结帐,一共消费73元。呵呵能吃啊~~~吃完饭,我们又回南桥吹了好久的江风,还看了好多美女(主要是老公看,我间或点评),直到夜深了,才恋恋不舍地回去睡觉了~~~6月15日早上,因为前一天爬山的疲劳,起床已经是快8点了。梳洗完毕,把不需要带的东西整理好,到前台退房并寄存,我们就出发去都江堰景区。走在南街上,天空下着蒙蒙小雨,游客并不太多。我们找了一个小面馆解决早餐。成都人习惯早上就吃面食或米线,基本没有馒头稀饭什么的。入乡随俗,我们要了两碗牛肉面,一小碗焖鸡。说实在的,我俩都是很能吃辣的人,可也没有早上吃辣的习惯呢,呵呵。看看这油汪汪的辣椒!牛肉面5元一碗,焖鸡6元,共花费16元。早餐的牛肉面,这么大碗才5块钱焖鸡,6块([]

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([]
序六年前。我刚开始练习瑜伽,瑜伽馆的一位老师,每年都会去印度呆上一段时间,学习瑜伽。那一次,他准备带学生一同前往。我虽心向往之,但他计划的时间,我完全没有假期,只好作罢。我记得他对大家说,在印度不能乱吃东西,否则很容易拉肚子。一年前。深夜,妹夫从印度打来电话,说妹妹因染上登革热,高烧不退,住进了医院,白细胞和血小板不断减少,医生说,如果血小板继续减少,就需要输血,建议由直系亲属输血。妹妹已是第二次去印度,因妹夫被成都的公司外派到德里,负责印度市场的销售,所以这两年的十一,她都会去印度探望他。前年呆了一月,她安然无恙。怎么这一次,只是因为被蚊子叮咬,就染上了登革热?而事实上,每年9、10月份,都是印度中北部地区登革热高发期,卫生条件的不完善便是重要原因。当时,我对蟋蟀头说,没想到,我会因这种原因去印度。赶紧上网查询如何办理印度证。妹夫说,再等一晚,看这晚我妹的身体状况再作决定。所幸,那一晚妹妹的相关指数开始出现好转,并于三天后顺利出院。但,“明年我们去印度吧”,就这样提上了议程。在S姐的建议下,我们提前大半年就订好了去印度的往返机票。我不是喜欢做功略的人,但想去的地方太多,时间却太少,提前做好计划,便能让旅行变得从容点。尤其是,印度软件业发达,提前四个月便能在网上订火车票,电子票打印出来,就可直接使用,方便程度远甚于中国铁路;印度的许多旅馆都有自己的网站,可网上在线订房,也可通过发邮件的方式预订。当然,在订票订房的过程中,也发生过种种问,种种纠结,和阿三们不断通过邮件进行沟通。但渐渐,我发现这也很有趣,我的印度之行,似乎提前几个月便已开始。我关心行程,蟋蟀头却只关心安全。毕竟,这是一个不可思议的国度。不可思议,并不是我说的,这可是印度旅游局的全球宣传口号:Incredible India不可思议的印度。今年7月30日和31日,接连发生在印度北部的两次大停电事故,使得印度半个国家瘫痪,6亿多人的日常生活受到影响,占印度总人口的一半左右。美联社称:“有史以来最大的停电事故已由印度创造!”同样是7月下旬,印度东北部阿萨姆邦土著与穆斯林移民爆发种族冲突,并酿成大规模流血事件。8月25日,又发生两起新的攻击,使得该邦因骚乱死亡人数累计接近90人,数千人流离失所。因太多人逃离,一度造成该地区的铁路中枢系统瘫痪。所以,蟋蟀头的担心,并非毫无道理。我和他解释,我们去的虽然是印度北部,但主要是在拉贾斯坦邦,和那个发生冲突的地区没有一点关系。至于停电嘛,好吧,我也不知道到时是否会发生,但,如果发生的时候,我们可以身在其中,我觉得这也非常有劲。的确,对于爱冒险的我来说,印度正因为种种不可思议,才充满无限魅力。在游记开始之前,让我们先来唱颂一次OM,shanti shanti shantihi (欧姆,香缇 香缇 香缇 嘿)这是我们每次瑜伽课开始和结束时,都会唱颂的一句话。OM,被瑜伽认为是最古老最神圣的梵音,是万物源头的声音,是内在的声音。而香缇,则意为平和、和谐。这也是我在瓦拉纳西的恒河河祭时听到的唱颂声,在日落时的斋浦尔、焦特浦尔城市上方回响的晚祷声。。。唱颂OM的力量,可为你打开心扉,将内心做一次清理。因为我希望你能暂时抛开关于印度的种种成见与偏见,跟随我的游记来一次印度之旅。以平和的心态,去看待印度的好与不好。毕竟,正因这些神奇,成就了这个不可思议的国度。一、抵达...........................................................P5二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡.....................................P8三、火车旅行....................................................

这次一反常规,在游记开始前先奉上功略,只因为我想鼓励那些对印度感兴趣的同学,如果喜欢,就上路吧。上路,其实没你想像中那么复杂。证篇办理印度证,最早只能在出发前一个月。只要准备好相应材料,印度证非常容易申请,一般在提交资料后五个工作日内便可领取证。送后,在上海印度证中心的网站上,可在线查询证受理的进度。审核完成,便可去证中心领取护照。在上海办理印度证需准备如下材料:1、证申请表一份。(在线填写https//www.vfs-india.com.cn/shanghai/chinese/tourist_appliCATionform.html,并打印)2、2张近期(50mm

火车篇作为铁轨上的国度,印度是亚洲最早拥有铁路系统的国家,至今已有150多年的铁路历史。铁路总长63200多公里,亚洲第二、世界第三。到印度旅行,不能不坐火车,因为它是最便捷的交通工具。而且,在这个不靠谱的国家,尽管火车晚点现象严重,但还是要比乘飞机靠谱许多。 1、购票网站www.cleartrip.com 非常好用的购票网站,不仅可以订火车票,也可订机票及住宿。 提前四个月就可订票。座位等级分为:AC First Class(1A)/AC2 Tier/ AC3 Tier/AC Chair Car(CC)/Sleeper(SL)/Second sitting(2s)带AC的都是空调车厢,AC1是软卧,分隔成一间间,有房门;AC2与AC3都是空调硬卧,区别在于AC2是两层卧铺,AC3是三层卧铺。 印度有严格的等级制,体现在火车上就是,非该等级的乘客不得随意进入。一般乘坐AC的都是社会阶层比较高的印度人,素质相对较高,车厢比较干净整洁。而乘坐二等座的则是社会地位较低的印度人,车厢内脏乱差,甚至连窗户也没。 印度火车票不贵,与中国相比,便宜很多。天气热的时候去印度,建议还是选空调车厢吧,对自己好一点,没啥不对。当然,如果以体验为名,想和当地印度人挤二等车厢,那你得作好万全的心理准备。但如果是单身女性上路,严重不建议。 2、cleartrip今年的订票新规,账号必须与印度铁路局IRCTC的账号相关联,但IRCTC的账号又必须用印度当地的手机号注册并激活。此新规一度让准备去印度的同学不知所措,但很快便有同学找到相应解决办法,并通过一次次实践加以完善。前人栽树,后人乘凉,详细的账号注册功略请参考此帖:《完全图解印度火车账号注册成功》https//bbs.qyer.com/viewthread.php?tid=635989&extra=page%3D1 3、订火车票是实名制,详细到还需写明性别与年龄。用VISA或者MasterCard的信用卡进行网上支付。订票成功后,打印出来,便可直接使用。火车上列车员会查一次票,出示打印出来的电子票即可。AC First ClassAC2AC3 住宿篇大多时候,都是在火车上睡一宿,第二天早晨到。再加上乘火车可以预先知道出发与到达的时间,所以时间相对比较确定,建议提前预定旅馆,再要求旅馆提供接站服务,既可避免在火车站与tutu司机砍价,在路上被tutu司机忽悠,还可节省车费(我们的六段火车,全是免费接站)以及时间。也许你会问,如果少了这些,是不是少了很多体验?当然不会,因为除了长途坐火车,在一个城市里的交通主要还是tutu,你被他们忽悠以及反忽悠的机会多了去了。一、推荐预定住宿的网站:1、www.booking.com,网页显示可选择中文,而且每个旅馆都有世界各地游客的点评,非常简单好用。2、www.cleartrip.com,印度本地的网站,从网站界面上说,和booking.com一样好用,但全英文的页面,对于中国人来说,肯定不如全中文页面来得清楚。而且有时同一个旅店,在cleartrip上订需预先付费,但booking就不需要,而且在入住日期前几天,还可无条件取消预订。所以此次行程,如果没有旅店的官方网站,我就在booking.com上预定。二、推荐查看旅店评价的网站:www.tripadvisor.in中文版即 到到网此网站只能查询,不能预订,所以从某个角度来说,上面的点评比较中肯。即使是别人游记中推荐的旅馆,建议你还是来此网站上看看大家对该旅馆的评价。虽然个人感受都比较主观,也许一只老鼠就可毁掉你对这家旅馆的所有好印象,也可能会因一个小花园而对它赞不绝口。尽管如此,综合大多数人的点评,你还是可以有个比较全面的了解,以更好做出你的选择。所以,我们此次行程订的七家旅馆,除了最后一家稍微有点不值,其余都非常好。为了方便大家参考,我把预订的七家旅馆逐一作个点评。但需要提醒的是,房间不同、时间不同,房价差异会很大。每年10月下旬至3月,印度较为凉爽,比较适合旅行,房价会比夏季价格偏贵。 1、德里——Hotel Hari Piorko价格: Rs.1650+10%= Rs.1815/晚 住一晚 从机场接机Rs.700预订方式:www.book.com预订点评:位置非常好,位于背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区,也就是鼎鼎大名的Main Bazaar。距离新德里火车站500米,距离康诺特广场1公里。我通过邮件,预订了酒店的接机服务,对方在邮件里告诉我,到酒店前台付出租车的费用。可到了酒店,工作人员却出尔反尔,明明说好是Rs.700,却要收Rs.800,当然,最后也只收了Rs.700。另外,我们到酒店住下时已是凌晨三点,淋浴只有冷水,没有热水。关于淋浴,我曾特地在邮件里和酒店确认过,因为在tripadvisor上有人点评说,酒店晚上没有热水淋浴。酒店在邮件里保证,一定有热水淋浴的,请我放心。说得那么肯定,结果还是没热水。不过,到了早晨,热水淋浴倒是蛮好的。除了那两点,该酒店各方面都还不错,在tripadvisor上的口碑很好,也是cleartrip推荐的酒店之一。推荐指数:★★★☆☆其余酒店参考:Ginger Hotel(Ginger New Delhi):距离新德里火车站200米,连锁酒店,类似如家。坐机场快线到火车站,出来后对面就是。https//www.gingerhotels.com/HotelSearchResults/Default.aspx本打算预订这家酒店,但提前几个月,网站就显示新德里店房间全满。据说这只是酒店的营销策略而已,因为新德里店位置较好,大家往往都订这家店,而导致在德里的另一连锁店没有生意,所以一般只会提前一点时间开放预订。我觉得酒店这种想法很奇怪,我们并不会因为你这家店满了,就选择你的另一家店,我完全可以选择相同地段的其他店。印度人的思维模式有时真的很奇怪。 2、瓦拉纳西——Scindhia Guest House价格:Rs.1800 + 12.42% tax = Rs.2025/晚(含早餐)有阳台,有空调,有冰箱 住两晚预订方式:酒店网站https//www.scindhiaguesthouse.com/index.html 在线预订Email:scindhiaguesthouse@yahoo.com点评:酒店就在恒河边,每个房间都面向恒河。因为在焚尸台Scindhia Ghat旁边,所以酒店的名字是Scindhia Guest House。酒店非常干净,地板擦得很亮,和外面的环境相比宛如两个世界。酒店口碑极好,最好提前预订,但很多人都抱怨发了邮件去订房,却没有任何回音,只好放弃。建议直接在酒店网页上在线预订。我当时在网上在线填写预订表格并提交,十七天后,酒店发来邮件,确认我的预订。虽然我对这家酒店强烈推荐,但我写到这里,刚看了一下网站,相同的房间,房价已涨至Rs.3373,房价有效期从2012-10-1至2013-3-31。推荐指数:★★★★★其余酒店参考:Alka Hotel, www.hotelalkavns.com因座落在恒河边,被好些网友称为瓦拉纳西的首选。我发邮件询价,然后看tripadvisor上对该酒店的最新评价都不太好,说房间旧,不干净,服务也不好。酒店回我邮件告诉价格,尽管房价比Scindhia Guest House便宜许多,我还是没有选择这家。房间外的阳台相连我们的房间,有阳台,有空调,有冰箱从阳台上看到的恒河风景 3、阿格拉——Sai Home Stay Bed & Breakfast价格:Rs.1550/晚(含早餐)住一晚预订方式:www.book.com预订酒店Email:saihomestay@yahoo.com点评:选中这家,只能说是缘分,看tripadvisor上的评价,很多人认为是在印度住过的最好的一家酒店,便让我立即决定选择它。尽管从旅馆的名字来看,似乎只是一家小得不能再小的家庭旅馆。旅馆真的不大,只有几个房间,但房间却挺大,装修很新,很干净。有一个小花园,小得只能放下一张桌子,但在那里吃早餐,却是非常温馨。老板很亲切,很有气质,英语说得非常好,一看就属于印度的中上层人士。他家的菜也做得非常好吃。尤其是餐具,精致漂亮,感觉他是一个很会生活的人。而且这家还是我们此行中最便宜的一家旅馆!推荐指数:★★★★★我们的房间小花园 4、斋普尔——The Umaid bhawan heritage Hotel价格:Rs. 2600/晚(含早餐)有空调,有冰箱 住两晚预订方式:酒店网站https//www.umaidbhawan.com/index.htm 在线预订,需输入信用卡信息作为预定担保,如果在预订时间没有入住该酒店,会被扣掉相应房费。点评:这是我们行程中房价第二贵的一家酒店,因火车晚上 22:20才到斋浦尔,加上晚点因素,估计我们到酒店都快24点了,但也要算一晚的房费,定这么贵的房是否有必要?但酒店网页上的照片实在太漂亮了,美轮美奂的,让我完全失去抵抗力。等我们入住后,我有多庆幸选择了这家酒店!从进房间的一刻开始,我就给房间的每个角落拍照;第二天起床吃早餐,也是从门外的露台茶几,拍到餐厅;晚上又继续拍阳台上的露天餐厅与歌舞表演。拉贾斯坦在建筑和绘画上的艺术风格,在这家酒店得以淋漓尽致地呈现,精致的壁画、装饰,屋顶、屋角细致描绘的花纹,无不透着浓浓的异域气息。免费供应的早餐,并非简单的土司、蛋卷,而是丰盛的自助餐,味道还非常赞。晚餐是在露台上的餐厅,不仅有现场歌舞表演,还有现烤的羊肉,食物味道不错,我俩都爱上了那里一道用茄子做的菜肴。而且,我在这里喝到了来印度后的第一瓶啤酒。要知道,印度的很多餐厅都不供应啤酒的,因为大多数人不吃荤不喝酒不抽烟。推荐指数:★★★★★其余酒店参考:Hotel Pearl Palace, https//hotelpearlpalace.com/LP推荐,网上口碑很好。但我提前四个月预订定,也没订到,酒店回我邮件,说已客满。我很庆幸这家挤满驴友的酒店客满,有时,我比较喜欢能找一些与众不同,但又很有特色的旅馆。 5、乌代浦尔——Hibiscus Guest House 价格:Rs.2000/晚 住两晚预订方式:www.hibiscusinudaipur.com/index.html 发邮件预订酒店Email:hibiscus-udaipur@hotmail.com点评:这家酒店由tripadvisor推荐,网友评价排名第六。距离那家鼎鼎大名的dreamheaven guest house很近,走路5分钟就到。之所以没有选择据说位置超赞的dreamheaven,是因为那家被 LP推荐的酒店,历史实在太长,完全可以想像酒店陈设的老旧。在tripadvisor上果然看到很多这样的评价,让我毅然决定选择一个新旅馆。这家酒店距离湖边仅5分钟,有个雅致的小花园,非常安静。住了整整两天,除了我俩,没看到一个住客,以致于蟋蟀头在第一天就有想换酒店的冲动。我却很喜欢这样的静谧。没住dreamheaven,但可以去那里吃饭啊,据说那里的食物味道很好。但去了dreamheaven后,我非常庆幸自己的选择,dreamheaven实在太老旧了,窄小漆黑的过道,让我感觉随时都有老鼠在这里串来串去。第二天去dreamheaven旁边的一家高级酒店Karohi Haveli上厕所,顺便参观一圈后,更是让我对自己的选择欣喜。Karohi Haveli几层楼高,是家名副其实的酒店,但个人感觉酒店大而冰冷,没有小旅馆那种温暖气息。房间也没有比Hibiscus 更好。Karohi Haveli是一个网友游记中的强烈推荐,她是因为老鼠乱串,房间环境不好,从dreamheaven中逃出来的,于是把Karohi Haveli描绘得如天堂般。我很早就写了邮件想要预订这家旅馆,在邮件中我写了check in的时间,向酒店询价,酒店回我邮件,告诉了我几种房间的房价。价格很高,我又是一轮邮件和他砍价,最后他同意给我一个折扣价,面朝湖的Super DeLUXE ,Rs.3000/晚。尽管房费依然偏贵,但我想,既然在印度最浪漫的城市,住贵一点的酒店无妨。于是马上回邮件,告诉他我就定这间了,请他确认我的预订。没想到,酒店回我,这个价格只在4月-9月有效,不适用于我预订的10月。真是晕倒,我在第一封询价的邮件里就写得很清楚了,我抵达的时间是10月7日!价格不适用于10月,他给我报价干嘛?还这么折腾要了一个折扣价。再问他,那10月的价格何时出来?他回答说不知道。于是,我彻底放弃这家酒店。印度人有时教条得真是不可理喻。推荐指数:★★★★★其他酒店参考:1、dreamheaven

住两晚预订方式:酒店网站https//www.jeerihaveli.com/index.php 邮件预订:info@jeerihaveli.com 点评:酒店位置非常好,屋顶餐厅和阳台上都可以看到梅兰加尔古堡,感觉古堡近在咫尺。酒店老板热情得让你难以招架,亲自领我们进房间,介绍周围景点,赠送地图。他希望蟋蟀头帮他拍点照片放在他的酒店网页上,但他的举动又让我们有点不快。我们临走时,他竟要求我们给他的员工付小费,我们虽没有拒绝,但感觉奇怪。淋浴不好。于我而言,一旦淋浴不好,对该酒店的印象就会大打折扣。如果楼顶阳台上的煤气罐没开,就没有热水。而酒店并不会24小时打开煤气罐,晚上如果没有特别提醒,肯定会关掉。但这一点,我们最初并不知晓,老板领我们进房间时,讲了很多,却没讲这点。只说打开淋浴后几分钟就会有热水。晚上我洗澡时,等了十多分钟,也仅一点温水。等蟋蟀头去洗澡时,已经纯粹是冷水。因夜已深,我不太想再去叫醒酒店人员。但第二天早上,淋浴依然是冷水,出去问老板,他面带笑容地告诉我说,“洗澡前和我们说一下就行了!”无语。我洗澡前还要和你说吗?推荐指数:★★★☆☆我们的房间酒店的露台餐厅房间的阳台

点评:这是我们此行所住的七家酒店中,最贵的一家,但也是最令人失望的一家。可能正应了那句话,期望越大,失望越大。网上介绍,此家酒店距离杰伊瑟尔梅尔古堡只有500米远,精致的哈维利,只有七个房间,每个房间都不一样。哈维利haveli,是拉贾斯坦的传统民居,由石头筑成,装饰华丽,以石雕匠的精工细作为特色。想像中,住在金色的沙漠之城,住在具有异域风情的哈维利里,感觉一点非常美好。此家酒店的确是以石头筑成,有石头雕成的假窗,在桔黄色的灯光映衬下,拍出来的照片也挺美,但仅此而已。房间不大,没有桌子或茶几让蟋蟀头摆弄他的笔记本,让每天都要导照片看照片的他恼火不已。淋浴也不好。如果要洗澡,只能白天,或者晚上22点前。22点后就只有冷水。房间由石头砌成,隔音效果却不好。清晨我们还未醒,工作人员在与我们相隔一个房间的洗手间洗拖帕的声音,真是声声清脆,声声入耳。推荐指数:★☆☆☆☆ 功略写完了。我提供的功略较为简单扼要,只有最基本的证与住行,并没有各种注意事项等细节。那些细节,我更愿意用游记的形式与你分享。我认为,功略应该成为你的拐仗,而非限制;要因为功略,使你的旅行更加从容,而不要因为功略,给自己设定太多条条框框。如果你有完全充足的时间,也许你可以完全无视功略,走到哪儿算哪儿。也许处处有惊喜,但也有可能惊喜变成惊吓。不管怎样,用享受的心情开始旅行吧。游记,正式开始。。。 一、抵达于我而言,很少有提前大半年做旅行计划这件事。印度,是第一次。出发那天是晚上2105,白天上班,我竟开始拉肚子。暗自嘲弄自己,不至于吧,印度还没到了!但庆幸的是,在印度的17天,我没有拉过一次肚子。从上海直飞德里,全程六小时。晚上抵达时,北京时间凌晨340,但印度时间却是 0110。是的,印度与中国有2.5个小时的时差。来到印度的这一刻,时间便又回流了2个半小时。刚走进机场大楼,就有一些同航班的同学驻足,对着这两幅俊男靓女的照片拍个不停。虽不好意思加入其中,但我还是在他们离去后,不能免俗地赶快按了一张。为什么不好意思?因为,这是厕所!先暂时抛开你想像中的脏乱差的印度吧,至少对于初来乍到的我们,呈现在我们眼前的英迪拉·甘地国际机场,干净、明亮、现代,甚至,透着一股禅的气息。在办理出关的地方,一面金色圆盘为底的装饰墙上,有11个手势各异的佛手印,唯一的相同之处是,掌心中都有一朵莲花。手印,是瑜伽修炼时手的姿式。瑜伽认为,手印象征着特殊的愿力,会带来身体与意念的力量。手印分为很多种,不同的手印,对身心有着不同的影响。比如,第一张照片中左数第二个,拇指与中指相连,是能量手印,意即将上天中的能量善加利用,是瑜伽中最常用的手印之一。而莲花,则是印度的国花,与佛教与印度教都有很深的渊源。蟋蟀头正在柜台,等候印度大叔审核证。拍这张照时,我还本能地在想:“这里能拍吗?”毕竟那时距离我们去朝鲜一个月,在朝鲜时,这也不让拍那也不让拍的阴影尚存。要知道,在平壤机场是不允许拍照的!但这里不是朝鲜,这是印度。印度虽贫穷,但却是民主国家。不要说拍机场,连拍军人都可以。 蟋蟀头去行李区域等候行李,为节约时间,我准备去找地方换点印度卢比。所有人的攻略都会提醒你,机场汇率不好,不要多换。不要多换,但也得换一点,不然出去的车费也付不了。距离行李区域不远,有个FoREIgn exchange,尽管有前辈功略提及,机场有四家Exchange Bureau,每家的汇率会稍有不同,但如此夜深,我懒得去做比较了,只想赶快离开机场,去旅馆好好睡一觉。于是径直去这家排队。正在排队,有几个中国人从另一个方向过来,去柜台上的电脑,查看了一下汇率,然后对同伴说:“这里的汇率比之前那家好。”一听这话,我心中暗笑,还真让我撞上了。换汇要护照,汇率USD1=Rs49.1。我换了100美元,拿到手只有Rs4870,不用说,少掉的Rs40就是手续费了。出发前就预订了旅馆,因为住在背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区,担心像尼泊尔的泰美尔一样如迷宫般难寻,又是深更半夜,便同时预订了接机服务。等我们取了行李,换好钱出来,一个举着写有我名字的纸片的小伙子,已在大厅里等候。按前人的攻略,最好在机场办理一个airtel的手机卡,3G上网非常方便,而且打电话的费用也非常便宜。于是,和小伙子说明,我得先办一个airtel的手机卡。他往右边一指,“在那边。”右边?不对啊,攻略说出来后左走,就有airtel的柜台。“印度人说的话都不可信,”此时,对于初到印度的我来说,前人的攻略对我影响很深。我自顾自地向左边走去,那里的确有一个办理手机卡的柜台,但柜台上面赫然写着:A I R C E L。aircel 与 airtel,仅一个字母之差,怎么回事?我站在门口,仔细端详了半天。“airtel在那边!”这时,接站的小伙子又指着右边对我说。好吧,信他一次。跟着他往右边走,airtel的柜台果然在那儿。其实确切地说,如果眼神好,在出口处往右边一望,就可看到airtel的招牌。好吧,前人的攻略,有时还真的不可信,宁可信一次印度人。此时,正有三个中国人在airtel的柜台上办手机卡,柜台里的阿三正忙着用手机给其中一个男生拍照,另外两个女生等候中。我问阿三还要等多久?我急着走。阿三回我,很快就好。但看他不慌不忙的速度,我真觉得这“很快就好”根本就不可能。接站小伙子又说话了,“回旅馆去办吧,那里也有airtel,费用还比这里便宜。”这一次,我决定马上相信他。我和蟋蟀头跟在小伙子的后面,出了机场,向停车场走去。他没有帮我们拿行李,一个人自顾自地快步走在前面。“他怎么不帮我们拿包呢?”我问蟋蟀头,难道印度人的接站习惯就是,不帮客人拿包?英迪拉·甘地国际机场距离我们要去的帕哈甘吉Paharganj 地区,大约20公里左右。夜色中的德里,一片安静。同夜色一样安静的,还有这个开车的小伙子。不说印度人喜欢搭讪吗?他怎么这么安静?我心中暗自嘀咕。当然,在后面的十多天行程中,经历了印度人的各种搭讪后,我只能说,印度人的确非常喜欢说话,但也总有些人,不是那么喜欢说话。大约半小时后,出租车停在了我们预定的Hotel Hari Piorko。车停下来后,他转过头,向我要车费。车费,旅馆给我的邮件中,不是说明车费Rs.700在旅馆的前台付吗?我和他解释,旅馆的邮件中是这么说明,我也只能到前台去付款,请他和我们一起去前台拿钱。他又嘀嘀咕咕说了一大堆话,不过我一句也没听懂,大意应该还是希望我能直接把钱付给他吧。我问蟋蟀头的意见。他说,既然旅馆和你约定了,在前台付车费,就还是去前台付吧,否则,你现在付给他,旅馆向你要,怎么办?我觉得蟋蟀头说的有道理。于是,我们不管他继续啰嗦,下车拿了行李就走进了旅馆。一个白发白胡子白衫的老头坐在前台,正在给一位准备退房的老外办理手续。一本硕大的登记簿放在他的前面。后来发现,每个旅馆的登记簿都和这个一模一样,像是政府规定的专用旅馆登记簿。在等候老头给老外办退房手续时,我问小伙子,“旅馆付你多少钱接机?”他说,“Rs.550。” 啊,旅馆赚得挺多。看着他可怜巴巴的眼神,我真想马上把钱付给他。好不容易等老头办完退房手续,他向我要车费了,“Rs.800”。“什么?Rs.800?你邮件里不是写好Rs.700吗?“”那就Rs.750。“老头面不改色地回答。”NO。“我准备一点也不让步。不付给他Rs.550,我就很守信用了,他居然还向我要Rs.800 ?可惜我只打印了booking.com的预定单,没有打印我和他的邮件内容。于是,我把自己整理的攻略往他面前一放,指给他看我在他的酒店名称下注明的:”在前台付pick up Rs.700- extra.“ 其实这并非邮件,他居然扫了一眼后,二话不说,马上就认账了。从他信口开河到最后认账,老头脸上的表情始终没有丝毫改变。看来,他玩这一招是玩习惯了。能唬一个就唬一个。其实,在机场坐预付费的taxi,据说是Rs.400多。他报价后,我没还价,是因为想着深更半夜安排接机,挺辛苦的,也没差多少钱,也就算了。没想到他还玩这一招,真让我觉得后悔,真该砍下他的价才对。 check in后,一个小工帮我们提着行李,领我们到了楼上的房间。房间很大,也很干净。那个king size的大床,实际上是由两个单人床拼成。后来我发现,印度好多酒店的大床都是这样拼合而成。沙发、电视、空调,房间里倒是一应俱全。据说德里因为是首都的缘故,酒店的性价比都特别差。所以,在这样热门的地段,这样的房间,这样的房价的确不算贵。对了,当时的汇率 1印度卢比=0.1182人民币元。一般我和蟋蟀头想把价格换算成人民币以作比较时,喜欢直接除以10,比较简单易算。所以,这个房价,差不多就是在北京上海如家的价格。小工去帮我们买矿泉水和打火机。因为在印度,自来水是根本不能饮用的,除非你有印度人的肠胃。不一会儿,小工回来了,把东西递给我们后,和我算钱,“两瓶矿泉水Rs.33/瓶,打火机Rs.40,一共Rs.106。”“你不说打火机只要Rs.20吗?怎么变成Rs.40呢?”我问他。“Rs.20的打火机卖完了,这个Rs.40的打火机比较好看一点。”他对我解释道。好吧,就算他说的是真的吧。我可不想这么晚了,还为这点钱和他斤斤计较。我掏出Rs.150给他,“谢谢,不用找了。”小工告辞而去。准备洗澡,才发现淋浴根本就没有热水,只有冷水。想着我在邮件里和酒店确认深夜是否有热水淋浴,他在回信中可是斩钉截铁地说“Don't worry.” 看来,问了也是白问。印度人的话还真不能信!在机场时,我还因不相信接站小伙的话而自责,现在,我又再次确信,印度人的话的确不能相信。唉,洗个冷水脸睡吧。谁让这是印度呢?! 二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡早上起床,淋浴终于有热水了,而且水还挺好。酒店的退房时间是中午12点,等我们起床收拾完毕,已差不多12点了。因下午5点过就要坐火车去瓦拉纳西,所以我们准备先下楼和前台说一下寄存行李的事。从电梯出来,还没走两步,就被一男一女两个中国人叫住,“你们是中国人啊!”一到国外,能遇到中国人,的确会多分亲切。原来这对夫妇来自广东,到德里已经四天了。但这四天哪儿也没去,就在酒店睡觉。还从广东带了一只煲来,给自己煲汤降火。因酒店房间不干净,他们便换到这间酒店,说是比之前那家酒店干净好多。女孩叫sofoia,一个自来熟的女孩,她告诉我说,他们在印度会呆二十天,却没准备功略,问是否可以借我的攻略看看。我把手中的攻略递给她,她翻翻后说道,“这么详细啊,借我copy一下吧。”得知他们也没吃饭,便约他们到楼上餐厅一起吃饭,顺便让他们copy攻略。中午时分,餐厅里一个客人也没。估计住店的人,这个时间都到外面去玩了吧!我们四人找了阳台上一个桌子坐下,他们让服务员帮忙去复印攻略,然后我们点餐说话聊天。在得知我们下午准备去红堡后,这对夫妇打算跟我们同行。于是,在印度的第一天,我们就多了一对旅伴。而且在后面的行程中,又不断遇到新的旅伴。一位修理人员,似乎对坐在餐厅中的我们四人孰视无睹,自顾自地开始用电钻在墙上钻洞。尖利的电钻声吵得我们讲话也听不清。去向餐厅服务人员提出抗议,居然一点效果也没,我们只得被迫坐到阳台上去用餐。一推开那扇通往阳台的门,一股热浪夹杂着各种嘈杂声扑面而来。深夜抵达德里时的宁静印象,瞬间瓦解。鸽子扑愣愣地在阳台上飞来飞去,反倒弄得我们不好靠近,生怕惊到它们。实际上,我们真是过虑了。在印度,没有动物会害怕人。 对于初来乍到的我们,哪里会嫌街上吵闹,只会感到新奇无比,趴在阳台的栏杆上四处张望。街上人车拥挤。汽车、出租车、牛车、TUTU车、人力三轮车、摩托车,全部后扎堆在一起,行人却自在地穿行其中。“原来在印度被奉为神的牛也会拉车啊!”在尼泊尔看惯了到处闲着的牛,以致于我对拉车的牛也会大惊小怪。当然,在后来的行程中,我每天都会在街头看见各种闲逛的牛。但在杰伊瑟尔梅尔和一位司机的聊天中,也终于明白,印度的牛虽然罩着一层神圣的光环,但实际上却连温饱这最基本的生活需求也达不到。 远处突然传来一阵敲锣打鼓的声音,我们把脖子伸得老长,循声望去,一辆打扮花哨、车头插着旗子、车顶坐满人的汽车向我们这个方向慢慢驶来。是有什么庆祝活动吗?我们也跟着锣鼓声兴奋起来,可惜,车驶到靠近我们的一个三叉路口,一转弯,便在我们的视线中消失了。“快点出去玩吧!”此时的我们,早已按捺不住内心的兴奋,想要赶快融入那无比嘈杂混乱,却又让人激动万分的花花世界。简单吃完这顿早午餐,我俩便把行李搬到楼下,准备寄存。前台叫来一位小伙子,让我们跟着他去寄存。于是,我们跟着他,又重新返回到二楼。他掏出钥匙,打开一间房门,把我们的驮包往行李架上一放,问我们房号,然后把房号写在一个上,往驮包上一挂就OK啦。我问他,“你不给我什么凭证吗?那我凭什么来取包?”他说,“取包时,说你的房号就可以了。”这样也可以?我满肚子狐疑。我已经退房了,现在的房间很快就会住进新的客人吧,我也只需报个房号就可以取走行李?不会搞错吗?“No problem!”他回答我。印度人喜欢说No problem,而事实上,我们认为很多不可思议的地方,于他们而言,真的不是什么问。他们有他们的习惯,仅此而已。只是我们不能理解罢了。在后面的行程中,所有酒店寄存行李都用的是这种方式,告诉他你的房号就行,当然他们也一次都没弄错过。 下午1330时分的德里街头,阳光灼烈,热浪袭人。sofoia 用帽子和口罩把自己包裹得严严实实。而此时的蟋蟀头,在T恤外还套了一件摄影背心,一副摄影人的准行头。当然,这件摄影背心,他在印度也只穿过这一天。因为,印度的高温与烈日,把蟋蟀头的专业形象彻底打败。 酒店距离新德里火车站仅500米,因Main Bazar上TUTU车较少,不利于讲价,我们准备步行到火车站再找TUTU车。火车站门口TUTU车的确很多,但就像商量好了一样,众口一辞,去红堡的车费一律Rs.100/辆,根本没有讨价还价的余地。于是,我们要了两辆TUTU车,一前一后向红堡奔去。在印度坐TUTU车,实在是一个惊险刺激又好玩的游戏,尤其是在车辆拥挤的路上,又或者在狭窄的小巷。每个司机似乎都车技了得,左冲右突,灵巧无比。车与车之间经常擦肩而过,最近的距离似乎只有0.1,车速却丝毫不会减慢,也没有什么交通事故发生。司机总是悠然自得,只有我们这些乘客才会一惊一乍。因路上交通堵塞,大概花了近半小时,我们才抵达红堡。下车时,司机示意我们,我们得走前面的地道,才能穿行到路的右边。因为在印度,车辆是靠道路左侧行驶。地道阴暗,味道难闻。有乞讨的小孩坐在墙角,也有流浪的人躺成一排。眼之所及,只觉凄凉,不禁让我想起电影《贫民窟中的百万富翁》中的场景。快步走出地道,重新回到杂乱的街面,我不禁深深地呼了一口气。阳光灿烂的感觉,实在比阴暗阴沉要好太多。转个弯,沙岩筑成的红堡便出现在了我们面前。到了红堡,先迫不及待地来一张到此一游照。虽然红堡是德里的重要景点之一,但对于将要去拉贾斯坦邦的人,往往都会直接忽略掉这个城堡。因为,在历史悠久的拉贾斯坦,散布着众多迷人的宫殿与古堡,一路走去,直到你审美疲劳。如此一来,德里的红堡,相较之下,似乎就逊色许多,以致于大多数人都直接把它cancel掉。我之所以想去红堡,只因为它是由沙·

准备了一点简单的东西,由于钱不多,所以打算一路露营。 我家在山东临沂,打算先去河南,逛逛开封,洛阳,再去西安,然后南下去四川。过云南最后去西藏。 前期都是山东的城市,马路上,也没什么好的景色。 原本打算一天骑行一百五十公里,结果一出发就是顶风前行。 中午休息时和当地的老乡聊了一会。 忽然发现身边貌似是一家银行。(不过这个。。。很像山寨的)晚饭,一瓶啤酒,清炒豆芽,肉丝炒面。呵呵!忽然想起家乡的笑话,单县人不善,曹县人不肏(cao)。嘿嘿,开封在望,加把劲啊。呵呵,终于到开封了,不容易啊。先抖掉身上的二斤土。然后,进城! 开封是一个美丽的地方!华灯初上回复 weiyibdk 的帖子因为是一个人的旅行,而且各地的景色都在美了再秀一下兰考兰考是县委书记的榜样——焦裕禄同志生前战斗过并为之献身的地方,是焦裕禄精神的发祥地。老大爷不愿上镜,看我拍照片还把脸转过去了。郑州洛阳今天的住宿地虽然天色还早,但考虑到可能在天黑前赶不到下一个目的地。所以就在这里住下了。一个倒闭的饭店旁。嘿嘿,看看哥们的小房子。从出发到现在已经一个星期了,也许出门的时候没看黄历,结果一出门就开始刮风了,紧接着就是降温。晚上在帐篷里冷的直发抖。得佛是怪不给力啊。这几天最想要的东西就是被子,哪怕是个夏凉被也行。如果老天拿被子和美女让我选择的话,我一定会抱着美女盖着被子。嘿嘿。这一路上的生态条件不是很好,都是光秃秃的山和光杆的树,期待进入四川以后可以多欣赏一些路边的山水景色。路上见到一个小公园,貌似还不错。进去看一看。这啥意思?是手么。三条鱼不错吧双龙戏珠瑞兽麒麟回复 温水煮青蛙 的帖子有时间可以让它在路上跑一跑啊这样的小路牵着美女溜达溜达貌似相当的嗨!长寿山,好好的一棵树,你看看给整的。这又是啥意思呢。路上遇见一美女,把哥超过去了,哥当时就怒了,反超! 呵呵顺便拍张照片。 偶米豆腐,别告我侵犯她的头像权。柳树一不小心开始发芽了。路边的野草让我有种想去放把火的冲动,但是怕被惩罚。 这是在去三门峡的路上。这个坡道有好几公里长呢,下起来老嗨了,哇-哈哈哈比核武器杀伤力还大呢,差点整崩溃了。 上就上,你说出来干什么。。。站的高才看的爽好清澈的小河,先洗洗再说。等不到晒干了,挂后面继续上路。GO在去灵宝的路上转走G209 到灵宝就天黑了。明天要是顺风就干到西安,顶风就不好说了。 现在顺风也就相象一下罢了,不顶风太厉害就烧高香喽。貌似里面有华山,不过咱没时间再进山了。呵呵,绝对纯天然绿色产品。无化肥,无农药!([]
[指环王]上一次走得很远,这脚下的路,就像是一部波澜壮阔的巨著,一旦读了开头,就再也停不下脚步。一直觉得,西藏是这个国家最后一片净土,其他的地方,想想就让人愤怒!大宝小朋友又长大了。《魔戒》上映的时候,他还在不能观看的年龄范畴,这不,一卡吧眼的功夫,熟读魔戒的他就跟我说:老爸,我们去新西兰吧。于是,就有了下面这一篇游记,这篇游记记述下我们在这个岛国每一天的脚步:New ZEALand最后告诉我们的,并不是一个地名,那他又该是什么那?。。。。。。。西藏帖子:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-837747-1-1.html丽江帖子:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1410903-1-1.html行程汇总:『02.06上海-Auckland』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-1-1.html『02.07Auckland-Kerikeri』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-1-1.html『02.08Kerikeri-Piha』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-4-1.html『02.09Piha-Rotorua』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-8-1.html『02.10Rotorua-Taupo』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-10-1.html『02.11Taupo-Levin』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-15-1.html『02.12Levin-Picton』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-18-1.html『02.13Picton-Kaikoura』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-20-1.html『02.14Kaikoura-AshBURTON』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-24-1.html『02.15Ashburton-Oamaru』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-27-1.html『02.16Oamaru-Dunedin』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-33-1.html『02.17Dunedin-TeAnau』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-37-1.html『02.18TeAnau-Queenstown』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-41-1.html『02.19Queenstown』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-44-1.html『02.20Queenstown-FoxGlancier』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-46-1.html『02.21FoxGlancier-Hokitika』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-48-1.html『02.22Hokitika-Greymouth』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-51-1.html『02.23Greymouth-Chrischurch』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-53-1.html『02.24Chrischurch-Auckland』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-56-1.html『02.25Auckland』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-57-1.html『02.26Auckland』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-59-1.html『02.27Auckland』https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2218197-60-1.html 我在新西兰国家博物馆里看到一幅200多年前的画,钢笔手绘的,画的是地热喷泉以及当时的大地景观,要命的是,跟我现在看到的风景没什么大的区别,这是不是也可以解释:文明发展并不需要象我们这样祸害自己,祸害子子孙孙。回来以后,很长一段时间打不起精神来,是因为我发现我现在做的很多事,尤其是一些貌似收入还不错的项目,实际就是帮着开发商们在祸害这个国家。大量的消耗资源,更大量的浪费资源,最后把自己锁在一个安满空调和空气净化器的房间里,只管把自己窝里的小日子过好,谁管外面的天会不会塌下来。这种生存状态,是圈养牲口似的,人是不应该这样活着的。 这篇游记不是攻略的性质。只是走到哪里说到哪里。随心而已。从网上摘录了一些帖子,附在下面,这些帖子当时对我有很大的帮助。现无私地分享给大家:)租一台车简直是必不可少的!但是,一定请大家严格遵守交通规则!啥是法治国家呐?意思是你要是敢胡祸祸,是谁都多余了,肯定收拾你!新西兰交规贴https//www.mafengwo.cn/i/1026483.html新西兰的证非常好办,可以自助网上办理,邮寄资料。机票可以买新西兰航空直飞,在新航网站上买。它的机票价格挺坑人,一周里面也是随时变化,害的你总觉得便宜票马上就没了。还有很多需要转机的,现在转机澳大利亚还需要办证!澳大利亚人看来也学坏了。租车:新西兰租车公司很多,价格相差比较大。大家可以在网上搜租车攻略。住宿:www.booking.com 基本全程用它解决。吃:新西兰的超市东西很丰富,Newworld这样的大超市每个市镇都有!所有的Motel基本都有厨房。可以解决做饭的问。也可以去吃吃大餐。《Lonely Planet》此行必备。玩:每个景点都有i-site,就是旅游信息中心,可以预订所有的项目。从酒店到各类游玩。服务友善和专业!除非你已经安排妥当,否则每到一处必去! 【2月6日第一天】上海--Auckland能从上海机场按时起飞,那可真是历尽了艰辛。话说这天凌晨,济南大雪!从市区到机场的路全部封闭,这可苦了出门的我们。幸好头一天嘀嘀打车定好了司机(在此严重感谢嘀嘀打车)。这个司机师傅真不错,那么大的雪依然按时到了楼下。高速无法通行,他一路拐弯抹角,绕来绕去,在泥泞里多用了1个小时的时间,终于赶在航班截止前把我们送到了机场。在上海等待的时间不长不短,很顺利的起飞,前往神话的国度--New Zealand。 【02.07Auckland-Kerikeri】十小时的飞行,两顿大餐,蒙头一觉。再看脚下,遥远的国度如今就在碧波荡漾的海水中。顺便提一下,新航的餐食不错。还有新航特选的葡萄酒,供乘客品尝。后来在超市里,也发现了带有新航特选志的各种酒类。到站的第一件事,当然是买电话卡,租车喽。在机场的出站大厅,第一次接触了i-site。在此后的20多天里,基本上隔三差五就要跟它打打交道。 人来人往的到站大厅。明快而且随意。 i-site,信息量极大丰富。本地乃至全国。 新西兰是个农业国家,出于对本国农业和生态的保护,严禁一切生鲜食品带入境内。所以带的食品一定要丢弃。哪怕是飞机上没吃完的酸奶。运动鞋甚至也不允许有泥土。我们买到的电话卡,万达丰的,为什么买他家的那?因为拍的队很长,哈。在机场,给apex电话,很快租车公司派来了一辆中巴,把我们接到租车店。租车手续没做公证,全是我们自己翻译的,服务员也拿不准,回去问了他们经理,回答是可以。于是,开上我们的小马,出发了。说实话,第一次开右舵的车,还真是不太习惯,一个原则:跟车!在看不明白交通状况的前提下,紧跟前一辆车行驶,是最快捷的掌握交规的方法。当然,你也不能一点也不知道交规!去之前补补课。今天我们的计划是,首先北上,沿一号公路抵达北端的小城镇:Kerikeri。不幸的是,我们一上道,天就阴了下来。新西兰全国的公路,限速准就是那么几档。但是大量的公路都是双车道,严禁随便停车,因为根本没地方可停!刚出Auckland不久,我们就拐了个小弯,溜达到一处海滩:Hatfield beach。虽说是浊浪滔天。但是大海毕竟是大海。总是不失时机的展示她的各种魅力。 在高高的崖壁上,还隐藏着数座无敌的海景房。海滩上,长着几棵奇怪的树,没见过,上面结了一些奇怪的果,也没见过。即使这样的大风大浪天气,居然还有奋勇出击,搏击风浪的人。看来生命的意义,对他来说,是征服多少风浪,而不是宅在屋里发多久的呆。 前行的路上,淅淅沥沥下起了小雨,一号公路上的车真心不少!全部限速100km。期间路过一些小城镇,可以路边停车,到4 square这样的小超市采购一点饮用水和食物。 中途遇到了一次堵车,所有车辆按顺序停靠,因为新西兰的道路,出了城市,基本只有一条路可走。所以大家老老实实的排着队。秩序井然。左侧的白色牌的意思是:前方2公里处有超车道!堵车其实也挺好的,可以近距离的观赏一下路边的风景,在一个人生地不熟的地方,车速又快,你是无暇欣赏风景的,安全第一嘛:)北岛的北部地区,山峦起伏,丛林茂密。下着雨,道路湿滑,这不,眼瞅着出事了。一辆奥迪被撞出了路边,玻璃碎了一地。还好人没事。结果又一次的制造了交通堵塞,因为一侧的道路被封闭,所以大家有秩序地单侧轮流通行。没有一个加塞的。没有的意思是即使你排了很长时间的队,心情还是很不错。新西兰的森林覆盖率实在是太高了,高的让这个国家看起来就是一个大花园。云一阵,雨一阵的,一会瓢泼,一会又淅淅沥沥。 走到卡瓦卡瓦的时候,我们决定绕行11号公路,前往派希亚。在离派希亚不远的地方,有一片巨大的红树林,大树参天的,还怀抱着一个河口。树林里有一条步行道。空气好的让人想把自己的皮扒下来晾晾。位置是:35°18'17.02"南174° 6'3.75"东。水里还飘着一些奇怪的种子,像个刚发芽的大豆瓣,后来到海滩上,发现那个东西落地就生根。渐渐的雨又下大了。钻回车里赶路,一拐弯,大雨里捡到了第一个搭车的小伙。他的英语讲得比我好不了多少。好像是个北欧人。我们顺道把他送到派希亚。 派希亚到了。依然阴雨连绵。有几个当地的小伙,看我拿着相机, 冲我做出各种拍照动作,因为初来乍到,不太清楚跟这些半大小子怎么打交道,就冲他们双挑大拇指,又招了招手。海滩上遍布的细碎贝壳。同小石子混杂在一起。漂亮的耀眼。贝壳上还站满了小呆鸟。截至目前,我们也没搞清楚怎么跟这些小呆鸟打交道。 沙滩上落地生根的大豆瓣!这玩意真好!哎,怎么这里连沙滩都有种子争着抢着生根发芽!这到底是块什么样的国土啊! 派希亚,幽静的海。傍晚时分,抵达Kerikeri,第一天行程的终点到了。Kerikeri有一个古迹,是个石头房子。1.一个是石头建筑,名为Stone Store,建成于1832-1836年间,是新西兰最古老的石头建筑。在很久以前,是作为当地居民用来物物交换的场所。2.Stone Store右侧的白色欧洲式木屋,KempHouse,又称 Kerikeri Mission House。是新西兰最古老的木建筑。 建于1822年。由新西兰特有的贝壳杉木建成,由于贝壳杉近年来日益稀少,政府已下令禁止砍伐,这使得这座看似平凡无奇的木房子更加珍贵,目前已列入新西兰古迹保存名单中。小雨里的两座古老房屋。中间夹了一颗硕大无比的树。不知道谁的年龄更久一点?([]
