其实从云南回来已经N久了,但是现在才想到在这里写上自己在一路上囧事。特别是彝族区所发生的故事。希望跟8264的朋友们一同分享我的旅途过程。快乐,艰辛,惊恐与幸运! 我的行程是从大理到丽江徒步+搭车。{大理住在苍山上的一栋废弃房子3天} 丽江到泸沽湖徒步+搭车。 泸沽湖再到楚雄参加火把节。 楚雄坐火车到阳朔。 7月19号一个人背着80公升的背包就踏上了那未知精彩的旅程,坐了25个小时的火车到达昆明之后,第二天马不停蹄的坐车赶到大理。和去年徒步西藏认识的小猫汇合,我们在网上找到了一个帖子,是几个也是驴友的男生发帖说找到一个基地,只需带上帐篷就好。于是我们和他们联系好,最后走出了大理城来到苍山半山腰,一座废弃了的两层大房子,没有只有门和窗户的构架在那里,很是破烂,一楼我们就作厨房,二楼我们作为寝室,二楼是木板的,而且还有几个洞,晚上起来上厕所没注意的话脚就会掉进去,升到一楼。我们4男3女就在这里 暂时住下了,2台单车,2把吉他4顶帐篷,这就是简单的住所。男的煮饭,女的就下到山脚下去打水。 别人看起来好似有些艰苦,但是我们乐在其中,很是惬意。 下面给大家看看我们住在大理的半山居吧! 这是半山居的整体 这是我们的帐篷 这是室内的一角 这就是我们的成员啦,我们在大理相聚, 又在大理分开,又再相聚,又再分开。这些是我在大理的生活,我们白天走一个多钟或者是骑单车到大理城里玩【山路很颠簸,坐在后座的人会有飞起来的危险,所以这不是一个好选择】,蚂蚁批发了一些小玩意在古城里摆地摊。但是在我们刚刚离开他摊位的时候城管就来了,直接把可怜 的蚂蚁连同货物一起带走,我和小猫,乌龟到处找城管局找不到,只好等蚂蚁出来,没过一会儿,我们的神人蚂蚁就留着鼻涕来找我们了,货物 还在,钱也没被罚,我们问了问为什么?他说本来要罚200的,他先是来硬的,别人没理,后来就灵机一动,想想一些心酸,热泪盈眶的说了许多可怜话,城管叔叔看见一个七尺男儿都哭了,吓到了。说;你别哭啊,我们又没把你怎么样。 PS;忘记写了我们在半山居的饮食情况了,这是重点。我们什么都没有,也不准备花钱。洱海边有个废弃了的【南国城】AKEN还有SHASH带上我和乌龟,晚上潜入南国城把锅子,煲汤的罐子拿了出来【这虽然是不好的行为,但是鉴定那里已经是人去镂空废弃很久了才这样的】 买了一些佐料和米,菜呢有时候买,有时候就拿着袋子去‘采青’。煮饭的就是那个罐子,每天很早做饭,等到吃的时候总会是快10点钟。饿死大家了。 关于手机等充电问,有一个女孩,是个骑单车出来的,知道我们住在那里,就专门找到我们,然后每天骑车上来给我们收电池到山下充电,晚上又上来给我们送。后来她又跟别的驴友说,那些驴友也对我们有兴趣,就买了很多好吃的走了很久的路到山上找我们,但是我们没在,只有AKEN在。真是遗憾啊。 这就是我们在大理的大概生活了,3天后我,小猫。乌龟,蚂蚁4个和他们分开,开始徒步去丽江,到那里也发生很多很囧,很搞笑,。很多很瞎的事情。现在先写到这里吧··! 从大理开始了我的徒步之旅,第一天就暴走了12个小时。一路上无数的搭车人和开车人给我们送来注目礼。但是,更多的是汽车尾气! 我们在看风景,但是看风景的人却在看我们。有很多人甚至把相机拿出来把我们当风景拍。我很讨厌,起码叫我准备下造型嘛!呵呵!一路上吃的是馒头加咸菜或压缩饼干。行程艰辛但却快乐。走了一天下来觉得走这公路很没意思,就想搭车。蚂蚁就建议我搭个车回到 大理再做火车去丽江,我瞪着我的小眼睛对他说;你当我今天走了一天是郊游来的啊? 第一天走了30公里左右,晚上扎营的地方也不好找,最后找到给并不理想的地方,别人家门前的大坝上,而且全是鹅卵石,睡在上面 跟全身按摩似地。第二天腰酸背痛。 上传两张我们行在路上的照片····哈哈 再来张美美村姑的 第二天我们决定分两队走,这样容易搭车。猫猫和蚂蚁后走,一面等AKEN,我和乌龟很快就被一辆拉牛奶的三轮车拖上,一大早就做上敞篷车,喷香的 牛奶和我们两个挤在一起,吹着晨风,真爽啊。就这样我们换了几个车当天就到丽江了【大理至丽江搭便车还真不好搭,徒步也不是好选择】 哈哈,我和乌龟率先到达丽江,听说束河比丽江古城要安静些,所以我们直奔束河古镇,白天就去丽江玩。晚上找了个旅店住下,放下包袱真的好轻松,束河没有丽江那么的吵杂,但是商铺同样也是很多,喜欢安静的朋友可以选择到束河,丽江就是很热闹,哪里都是人啊。 我和乌龟在就束河慵懒的等着后面的朋友来。 额···不会压缩,照片太大了! 舒服了两天,小猫他们就来了,AKEN又找到了一个基地,所以我和乌龟乖乖的搬出了旅店,到了古镇边上的一个村庄里一个还未建好的两层 小房。和大理的一样,二楼是木板的,不过有门有窗。蚂蚁大概是太累了,搭好帐篷就睡了,但是一楼能放帐篷的空间实在太小了,只能搭一 个,于是我们几个就把一些东西放一楼,拿着帐篷就上二楼。 走了一圈都没看见楼梯在哪.因为人家还没修楼梯呢,但是有一个面有一跟很长的木头靠在二楼走道那里,于是,AKEN就爬了上去,把 东西也带了上去,可是,我们3个女的就有点弱了,小猫还好,当男孩使。我和乌龟又怕高,又怕摔,而且还不知道怎么爬。研究和摆弄了讲 半个钟,终于上去了,搭好了帐篷,可是,下去呢?怎么办?唉····上山容易下山难啊··! 二楼有3个房间。我们在最里面的一间。半夜乌龟想上小厕,可是又下不去。实在没办法了,就在最外边的一间解决了。 第二天,我和乌龟要为了要下楼,在楼梯楼研究了将近1个钟,才胆战心惊的下去了。蚂蚁也起来了说;昨天晚上下好大的雨哦。 我们就很讶异,因为我们很晚才睡。说没有啊。 蚂蚁又说;就在我帐篷这边还漏雨呢。 我们几个对视了一下,直接笑爆,这是天降甘霖!哈哈,龟姐赐给你的! 暂时写到这里,该吃饭了。明天该写出发泸沽湖经彝族区所遇见的破事。惊险,无助+幸运! 在丽江待了几天,于是我和乌龟两人上路,徒步泸沽湖,原本计划走7到8天,结果4天就到了,当然是一路搭顺风车啦。朋友常常问我幸福是神马?我觉得徒步在路上累的快趴下了,来了一辆农用拖拉机让我免费上车,这就是幸福。 从丽江出发到了城外车很少,半个钟看见一辆也不夸张,我们甚至怀疑自己走错路了。在大山的承托下显得我们两个如此的渺小 行在路上 走了大概10来公里,有一辆农用拖拉机的大叔主动把我们带上,然后捎了10来里路,在我们下车的时候再而三的嘱咐我们两个女孩子要凡是 小心,不要怎样怎样,真的很谢谢他。 于是我们再走了一段路,那山真TM的大而高。我们一直在山顶上走,走过一个山头到了宁丽十八弯,路程长没关系,关键是大写八字的路 让我们很不想走,我们翻过围栏站在悬崖边是一直在考虑要不要先把包扔下去。然后我们慢慢爬下。足足在悬崖边站了有20分钟。最后还是没 有这样做,太傻B了觉得。但是后面找到了当地人走的小道一直是直走下去,路上有许多水果偷偷的摘了几个石榴,很好吃。还有许多毒蘑菇 但是我们还是采了,因为觉得很好玩。到了下午四点左右,我们就想搭车了。所以就招了这天的第一次手。女孩有优势,招手基本丢停,但是 女孩子也有劣势,因为毕竟是女孩。 很晚了,睡觉。下次再写。明天还要搬家,不知道什么时候装网线才能上 外话,晕!写了一个多钟数据都丢失了又要从写!真的是玩我! 言归正传,现在继续‘石榴姐’的徒步之旅,说到我和乌龟招到了一辆货车,司机大哥是宁蒗人。直接去宁蒗,我们喜出望外。 因为可以省几天的路程,真是要泪奔啊···下午四五点钟坐车,大哥请我们在树底村吃了晚饭然后就赶路了,虽然说是七八十公 的路程,但是因为是在上山走而且路很窄,又是晚上行车所以开的比较慢,一路上大哥跟我们说这里的彝族人有多野蛮,每天都喝 很多酒,然后就闹事,打架。上次他把车停止路边就被他们扔石头把玻璃砸破了。女孩子一般很少出门。他们是从奴隶社会直接跨 到社会主义所以很多地方的彝族人不被那么的同化。还保持原有的风格。 一路上遇到的不管是本地人还是外地人都在提醒我们注意安全,说他们野蛮,但是我们并没有觉得有什么,认为是他们为了让 我们两个要更加注意安全而夸大了,吓唬我们。现在这样的社会怎么还可能这样呢?所以,这是我们犯的一个大错误!!! 到宁蒗已经是晚上12点啦,我们下车谢过大哥准备找地方住或是搭帐篷,但是大哥说他也要住店所以一起找吧。我们找了四五 间酒店都没地方了,最后在一个巷子里大哥叫我们等他去问,我在等的时候就跟乌龟说;不要等下他出来说只有3人间了哦。结果 不出老娘所料,他和我说的一样。我很反感想走,但是乌龟觉得都那么晚了又很累,两个女的在一起不会怎样的。所以也就住进去 了,和乌龟一起洗澡的时候我就说,等下我们把行李都乱七八糟扔在一个床,我们两个挤一起。回到房间大哥已经躺下了。我们也 直接睡觉而且是开灯,大哥说开灯睡不着,于是把等关了,他老是找我们说话我们就不愿意说了,再怎么的一天下来已经很累了, 况且开长途车的司机更是需要补觉了,我就觉得他有点不对劲。我和乌龟就装睡。他看我们没理他,于是他就坐了起来,又说话。 我们依旧不理,他就走到我们的床边,我有点怕了。我睡里面乌龟睡外面,他就对乌龟说;小全和大哥说一下话吧。 乌龟说她实 在很累了必须要睡觉了。后来不知道他又说什么,我睁开眼睛看见他好像是裸着半身,好像也没穿裤子。我就叫乌龟开灯,但是又 怕他连底裤都没穿,怕他变态。乌龟也怕他不穿裤子。犹豫了一天,但是看他还是很有点过于是就开灯,我就叫乌龟走。大哥一边 穿衣服一边叫我们不要走,因为他可能也怕宾馆老板认识他觉得很丢面子。但是我们一点都没有理会直接收拾行李。他就说,你们 两睡这里我出去睡行了吧?可是还是不舒服觉得,我们铁了心要走。在楼下我们叫老板给我们开门,他就叫老板不要开,一直又在 说外面如何的乱,但是我们根本对他的信誉度一点都没有了。还不死活不让我们出去。忘记我们说了什么,然后老板开门了,不然 我们差点打110了。 当时已经凌晨2点多了,找了几个地方都没房间,于是我们准备到城外找地方搭帐篷,但是走在路上左边一堆人歪歪斜斜,右边又是 那样的一堆人,我们一开始还很镇定。走到城外两边都是水稻田不能扎。看见了一座还没建好的房子我们跑了过去,但是房子里有恶犬 把我们又吓的跑出来。真是屋漏偏逢连夜雨啊。我们继续走。这次有点怕了左边有一堆喝醉酒的酒鬼。我好怕啊,这里房子那么少,出 事了叫也叫不到啊。前方左边有个路口是走进城了,我们还是回城里吧,快到拐弯处又是一群醉鬼。没办法,必须硬着头皮从他们身边 经过,我拉着乌龟飞快的绕过汽车躲避了他们。 走到一个吃宵夜的地方,我们也饿了,也想休息一下我的心脏,真的是怕死了。里面有几个人在吃东西。我和他们就攀谈了起来,大叔问了我们发生了什么事。 我们也不肯说,但是就说晚上很怕这里喝醉酒的人。大叔说这里是有这样的风气,你看我们都在喝酒,你也来一杯!这样的事情我可不想再喝酒了,我们说实在 找不到地方了,就和乌龟商量去公安局和他们说说让我们在操场住吧。因为以前也在公路局有住过,心想公安局应该更靠谱,更有安全感。,于是大叔给我们找了 一辆面包车给10块送到公安局,叫司机一定要把我们安全送到。在准备上车的时候又有一群醉鬼过来了,而且还有几个人脑袋上包扎着,很怕。有大路不走,偏要 挤到我们这里准备对我们咋的,大叔看他们走过来直接挡住我们,不让他们接近我们。所以我很感动。再怎么样总会遇到好人的。 和大叔告别我们来到了公安局在城外,大门关着,司机按了喇叭走出来一个穿制服的男人,我们给他说了我们的情况他还比较好说话上去打电话汇报领导。我和 乌龟就在操场等,但是大门又锁起来了,我们的行李还在车上,司机还没走,但是车和司机在门外。我们在等的时候从楼里走来了3个男人,我们一开始以为是刚放 出来的或是水电工。一个胖一点镶着银牙,一个嘴角有道疤,一个穿着制服但是像穿别人的一样。他们走过来就很凶加藐视的问我们干什么来的,我们态度很好的把 情况又说了一遍,银牙一直用当地话跟我们说,我们大概听的懂一点点。 嘴角有疤的就斜眼问我们是不是犯了什么事啊?把身份证拿出来。其实身份证拿出来很正常的,但是他说话的态度确实像审问犯人的,而且有不耐烦。我就说; 我们两个女孩子会犯什么事呢?而且我们只是来借个操场的一个角落,明天一早就走。 他就觉得我们又要到他们这里住又要招待我们似得,银牙还在用本地话唧唧歪歪,乌龟就说请你说普通话好吗?我们听不懂。有疤的人就斜眼看着乌龟,我就很 生气,心想不就是借个操场住至于这样吗?所以我就不想在那里借住了,想出去但是门又锁着,等到一开始那个人下来给我们开门吧。 司机还在外面等着,我怕耽误人家回家,就叫司机把我们的东西拿下来放在门边。那个有疤的人就以为我们就要住在这里,就用当地话叫他不要把东西拿下来, 我听懂了,就说;放心我死都不会住在这个鸟地方,师傅把东西放下来,司机放下东西好像走了。他们还在这里碎碎念。我突然觉得好无助,两个手无缚鸡之力的 女孩子凌晨3点还在为这些事和别人吵,而且他们一点都不客气很凶的和我们说话。我满以为公安局是最安全最值得信赖的地方,但是现实就是这样,让我失望到不 不行。转身我的眼泪已经哗啦啦的掉了下来,觉得很委屈。拉着乌龟背起包就走,那个人从楼上下来说看看身份证就可以住了,但是现在我是一刻都不想待在这里 ,这个拿着人民的钱,在这个并不富裕的小城盖的格外显眼的公安局里。 我们走的时候还听见他们说了一句,这姑娘脾气还挺倔的啊。 但是我已经不想理会。走了几步又实在咽不下这口气。和乌龟回过头就对这大门骂他们;操你大爷! 你们TM的就是一孙子!垃圾! 骂了就走了,朝着泸沽湖的方向走,我们不知道怎么办,只是就这样走。乌龟也蹦不住了。也流了眼泪,她说是看见我哭才哭的。 走了大概100米左右,一辆车开过来,我们一看,是载我们来的司机师傅。他说;你们别理他们,这里的警察和黑社会都是一家,刚刚那个嘴角有疤的好像是黑社会。 司机师傅叫我们上车,说带我们进城给我们找宾馆。我们上车还不忘问了一句;坐车要钱不?司机说;不要! 找了几个又还是没有,到了那里算是最好的酒店【等于我们这里的3星吧】他认识那里的保安,保安也说实在找不到地方,司机大哥又问可以让我们在这里的操场搭帐 棚吗?他说不可以,因为都停的有车。司机大哥没办法了说;你们愿意就睡在我车上吗? 我说;你放心把车子给我们睡? 他说;没事! 于是把钥匙给了我们说明天早上来拿车。我们终于有地方睡觉了。云南晚上还是比较凉的。我和乌龟合着衣服把 后座打到就睡了。时间已经是凌晨4点。 早上我们是被人敲玻璃敲醒的,我一睁开眼。妈呀,每一面窗户上都趴着一个人在看我们,我马上叫起乌龟。唉!真囧啊! 保安说他们要把车挪开好做晨练。我们也就起来了,8点钟司机师傅来拿车了。我们和他道别就走了。 本来打算在宁蒗待几天等到火把节了好参加正宗的火把节,但是现在我们一刻也不想留在了这里。越快离开越好。 PS;忘记写了,在司机师傅把我们从公安局附近拉回城的时候,我们刚上车,就看见警车开出来了,朝我们这个方向找我们估计。但是我们叫师傅直接看过去,当做没看 见。不想再和他们扯了。 现在给张照片,是我们早上出发走的照片,旁边两个是彝族人,我们怕到都对他们敬而远之的地步了。 走过前面这个医院就到了城外,我们还在说着昨天晚上的事,实在很生气。说着要不要经过公安局的时候进去把昨天的那几个挨千刀的事情给他们领导反映下?后来 想了一下还是觉得,不去比较好官官相护,警匪一家。到时把我们直接说是妨碍公务请到那里喝几天茶就划不来了。正说着。远远就看见一辆巡逻车开过,往公安 局的方向开,一看其中一个就是昨晚的银牙,他也看见了我们。但是我们离马路还有些距离。我们就这样对视。然后我和乌龟就直接用了一个很不文明的手势对着他 也是送给他的,那就是竖起中指!然后一边还在骂;你大爷的。孙子之类的。但是那个人就是这样看着我们,然后就进公安局了。 这张照片是我们早上经过公安局的时候拍的,我们就是在这铁门内发生的这些破事! 那么大的地方却容不下我们两个女孩子!上面写太多字了,这里放点图片当饭后汤吧!不然有点干!先是来张曾经的半山居的正面照! 这是坐在窗户上拍的黄昏苍山 这是大理洱海!还可以啦 我们每天都会自己做饭,所以,吃的菜就是百家菜啦。当然也要包括自己捕鱼。这当然是男士们的事啦,不过最后只捕到一条很小很小的。先看这架势吧 这是SHASHA还有AKEN 哈哈····!这是小猫和乌龟 然后就是束河了,我们住的村子旁边的向日葵 这是束河下午的天空 每次住的房子里当然不会有水啦,所以洗漱都要跑去其他地方,这张是咋们出来洗漱的路上拍的,没有拍洗漱的地方,是一个三眼泉!好了,一次放了有些多。是因为还在搬家今天就要把网线拿掉了,怕没那么快写上。 下次该写离开宁蒗我和乌龟两人身心疲惫上路所遇到的囧事。在我和乌龟睡在车上的那天被围观的同时小猫和蚂蚁在丽江早上起来也被围观了,因为他们就在大药房门口 搭的帐篷,也够强悍了! 过两天元旦咯,提前祝8264的朋友新年快乐! 47# peixie11 现在家里还没接网线,所以不能及时更新。尽情期待吧! 大家好,我又回来了!接着说我和乌龟从宁蒗出发。一般情况下一天我们走30公里左右。但是由于折腾了一个晚上也没睡好,所以第二天我们的 精神是相当的差。别说走了,包都背不动了。我和乌龟才走1公里就在马路边休息了,照这样下去我们说今天能走10公里已经很不错了。我们就这样 走1公里就休息半个钟,于是我们决定那么搭便车。从城里刚出来还真不好搭,边走边招手。走了有很长一段时间了终于有一辆货车停下来搭我们了, 幸运!因为马上前面就是一座大山要翻越,又是可恶的大弯路,我们很不喜欢。车子一直把我们搭到山顶。因为他要去山顶的石料厂拉石头,只能送 到那里了,在山顶我们分别之后已经是中午十二点了,和乌龟找了一个离马路稍微远点的山坡的树林里准备吃午餐。午餐也不过是早上在城里买的馒头 加咸菜,还有在丽江买的牦牛肉!中午的阳光很明媚,我们吃完午餐就在地上用衣服铺了一下,躺在上面睡觉。因为实在太累了。我们一睡就睡了将近3个钟,睡的很死,后来为什么醒的? 说起来还有点囧。我们都睡的很沉,后来天上突然下起了一颗一颗的大雨,一开始乌龟还没感觉,我是知道下雨了但是就是起不来。后来天空直接响起了一个 大大的炸雷,把我们吓的马上有了精神爬起来收拾东西就走,因为我们就在山顶,而且还在树下,雷来了不劈我们还劈谁啊? 等我们跑到公路的时候两个人都焉了,低着头烟雾缭绕的山里缓缓前进!一边走我们还一边担心今天住在哪里啊?万一晚上也像刚刚那样我们就完了。又 走了很久雨没有了,我们两依旧是走走停停,但是还是在山上都是下坡和平路。等又走到一个山和另一个山的中间时,那座山更高了,而且又是大弯路。我们两 快倒了都,于是招了一辆皮卡车,上面有3个男的,一说话是乌龟老乡四川人,在靠近泸沽湖那地方修机场。上了车后我们说很怕彝族人,他们也说了在这里也要 比较注意,以前又发生什么什么样的事啊,说的我和乌龟更胆小了。他们把我们送了很远的路,到了一个分岔路他们和我们要分开了,但是又是在山脚下,我们 说我们不走公路,直接从中间爬上去,这样快些。 他们帮我们把包弄好,看着我们先走,我们两个就在那么大的山的衬托下一步一艰难的往上爬。才走没有几步,他们叫住我们说;你们快下来,我们把你们 送到山顶吧。好人呐···!真是泪牛满面啊。开车到这个山顶都开了很久。到了山顶大哥说只能送到这里了,后面都是平路和下坡,走玩这座山就到大水沟了 离泸沽湖很近了。 和他们分开后我们继续往前走着,但是现在对本地人是相当的怕啊。远远的看见前面马路不远有一群小孩,我们都紧张的要命, 就怕他们走过来,于是,背着那么重的包我们还是尽可能的走的最快,我们多么希望路上能不见到一个人啊。等到看不见那群孩子 之后,就在前面就有2个彝族的老婆婆在路边坐着,但是看见我们就站了起来朝我们走来,我们很是害怕,他们在我们身边不知道 在说些什么,就一直在说。我们也不知道她们听不听的懂我们说的,后来直接给了她们几块钱就快步离开她们。没想到她们就在后 面追着我们,别看两老婆婆年龄那么大,弯着背,但是追起我们来那个速度刚刚的! 我和乌龟看见前面又是大弯路,但是土质很松,很容易滑下去。但是我们想也没想直接就溜了下去,走了有那么远了觉得那两 老人再怎么也追不上我们了,于是我们在一个拐弯处坐下休息,远处的山下有一个村庄,我们被这两天吓的不敢去,因为快晚上了 怕走到那里天晚了要在有人的地方搭帐篷。我们就在那里想要不要搭车?一边考虑一边在吃晚餐。但是吃完这个晚餐第二天的粮食 也没有了,喝的水也没了。我们决定下附近找个好点的地方扎营,我爬上拐弯处的坡上去看看地形,不看不知道,一看吓一跳。那 两个老人家居然也在拐弯处,只隔一个拐弯,而且还在我们前面。吓的我一身冷汗,我马上跑去告诉乌龟,觉得那老人家好诡异哦 身体也忒棒了点吧? 没办法了,我们只能躲起来。于是乎两个装这胆大其实胆小如鼠的我们就在山凹里找了个地方,中间是一条小溪,两边是草地, 还有一些树木可以挡着。看这风景是挺好的。但是有一个劣势,那就是那都是小斜坡。即使这样我们还要等到天蒙蒙灰的时候才敢 搭帐篷,当时我们都恨不得帐篷就和树的颜色一样,心想以后会不会发明出变色帐篷,到什么环境变什么色。呵呵! 斜坡有些不好睡,我们睡到半夜头是离开枕头的,因为滑了下去,然后我们又爬上去睡,就这样反复几次撑到了早上,在这里 拍了两张照片,一张是还没搭帐篷,在躲那两个老人时候,等着天黑的惨状! 再来一张就是我们搭在斜坡上的帐篷! 看这坡斜的!徒步没有那么容易,特别是女的。最特别是胆小的女的! 好了,明天继续写怎么恢复了胆量,后来还和彝族村民在一起,带我们去摘水果。又怎么去蹭的泸沽湖的门票的! 和蚂蚁,小猫汇合,被热情的人请喝酒。 66# 太阳哥哥 我们就住在苍山上的,当时也准备爬,但是刚刚好那几天有个游客在苍山失踪了,不停有搜救人员上去搜救,所以我们也不敢去凑热闹。 76# 花褂子 是啊,现在回想起来都有点哀伤 在斜坡那里怕怕的度过一个晚上,第二天我们早早的起来,但是早上已经没有吃的和喝的了,于是我们抓紧时间赶路,到前面的村庄找吃的。 今天行程相对轻松,等着小猫和蚂蚁赶来。于是我们走到黄腊老村,一开始还有点胆颤,因为毕竟是彝族区嘛。但是实际接触了其实还好。除了 有些语言不通,年轻人还是可以沟通的。到了一个小卖部是一个中年妇女,我们买了两桶泡面,大姐就邀我们到她家里坐着休息,我们好几天没 洗头发了,她就给我们打热水让我们洗头。 这就是黄蜡老村的大姐 我们准备要走的时候看见大姐就 邀请我们去她家的果园摘些果子带走,长的像小苹果的,叫花红?忘记了。 这是和一个彝族大姐一起去摘的,手上提的就是,不过她摘的都是青色的。 这是彝族大哥和他的双胞胎 其实真正的接触下来也没那么可怕,只不过他们自己也说晚上女孩子都不怎么出门,因为男孩子太爱喝酒了,喝了酒就爱惹事。这已经习惯了。 大姐热情的留我们下来过两天之后的火把节,我们婉言拒绝了,要赶去泸沽湖。大姐就带着我们在附近转了转。 告别大姐我们继续赶往大水沟,我们两属于特安逸的女人,累了就马上休息,在路边看见有大的水泥管我们就坐在里面避暑,然后吃东西。因为, 等到小猫来了肯定不让我们这样。所以趁他们赶来之前我们就尽情的放纵休息,为了悬崖上的一朵花,我们会扔下背包冒着危险爬上去欣赏。 我们在下午3点左右到了大水沟,在一个吃米线的地方吃了点米线就坐在那里等小猫他们坐车赶来。这个地方前面几公里就是泸沽湖门票站了, 门票站离泸沽湖却还有20几公里。等了一个钟左右小猫和‘神人’蚂蚁就来了。为什么叫蚂蚁神人呢?那是因为他是恶心界的一朵奇葩啊。后面再 说说这个神人怎么恶心。 我们在往门票站走的时候,有一位当地人告诉我们,走对面的山上悄悄的过去可以躲过78块钱的门票。但是昨天有3男1女就被截住了。我们说 我们就往正门走,但是不想买门票。老远就看见门票站的人在那里堵车看有没有游客,然后收门票。他们也老远看见我们了,认为我们是昨天的3男 1女,走进才发现是3女1男。这是他们后面跟我们说的。哈哈! 我们走到跟前他们叫我们买门票,我们就说没钱,没钱就不让进去,他们说。我们也就不紧不慢的说,我们在这里坐下休息可以吗?于是在 办公室门口坐了下来,小猫和蚂蚁拿出了方便面向他们要了开水然后泡着吃,我则拿着上午摘的果子出来,让大家吃,然后就聊天,工作人员也 来和我们聊。蚂蚁这个神人,原本衣服后面破了也不缝一下,任由他破,甚至还撕烂他,原来的裤子和衣服闲重都扔的没有了,甚至还把牙膏也 扔了,真的是服了一个大男人了。背的包比我还小。那就算了,常常在我们吃东西的时候拧鼻涕,抠鼻屎,然后用弹指神功弹走,每次到这个时候 我看着就饱了。现在在吃泡面的时候就在我们和乌龟对面蹲着,我一下就看见他裤裆破了好宽,像开裆裤一样,这也不缝。唉!说也说不通。我服 就叫他脱下来我给他缝,他也懒得脱,说就这样了。所以我们一致认为他就是一朵奇葩!就是一‘神人’。 我们在开蚂蚁玩笑的同时,工作人员也和我们一起聊天,我们说我们走了好远才到这里,就让我们过去吧,他们说这是原则问的。有个大肚子 工作人员说我们骗他们,早上开车过来,路上没有看我们在走。就在这时有辆旅游车过来司机看见我们就说,咦?前两天看见我们在走,今天到了?真 厉害!然后就给我们说好话,旁边的其他游客也到那里说好话。他们有点松了。后来继续和我们聊天,慢慢的就说;你们今天不要走泸沽湖了,晚上 可能下雨,路上有很多蚂蟥。再说今天也走不到的。我们就故意说;你们又不让我们过去,怎么走啊?那人就说,你们跟那个大肚子领导说下吧。我 们就一起叫;领导~~~~~! 他也不理我们就走近办公室了,我们觉得没戏了。没想到他出来就拿着四张门票卡给我们,叫我们做纪念。把我们高兴 死了。他又说,今天你们几个小鬼就别走了,都下午5点多了,晚上就在我们这里睡吧。这里比山上好多了,你看有四星级的厕所,还有浴室。让你们也 整理一下。 耶!万岁! 过了一下,他们要开饭了,就叫我们一起去吃,我们说真的吗?乌龟故意就说;人家是开玩笑的啦。领导就说,什么开玩笑?吃一顿饭又怎样? 快来,今天你们想吃多少就吃多少! 哇咔咔,我们已经几天没吃到白米饭了,更没吃到肉了,我们都说,我们要吃肉,拼命的吃!他们都笑了。 果然有一大锅炖肉,我们就拼命的吃,把那几天补回来,他们怕我们噎着就拿来矿泉水给我们缓缓。真是好人呐,我们说,真是谢谢啦。你们这里 这里有什么事让我们帮你们做的,我们今天就帮你们做,他们说没有,也不要我们做,我们也不管了,吃完饭就帮他们洗碗和扫地。算是回报吧。 吃完饭我们洗漱好了就做在外面和他们聊天。晚上他们就开着车到其他地方买了一箱啤酒和我们坐在办公室一边玩扑克牌一边喝酒,拿了一个大碗 就那么一碗一碗的喝,我们和乌龟酒量太差不敢啊。只是陪喝一点点。小猫和蚂蚁就一直在玩,到后面蚂蚁都醉了。喝完准备睡的时候还吐了。到了第二 天醒来还直说自己没用,把撑的要死的饭全给吐出来了。 早上大哥还问,蚂蚁还在吗? 哈哈,都在笑他。 我们准备走之前,和小猫去前面商店买干粮,一边认为没有早餐就买了桶泡面给我吃,我在吃的 时候,他们打电话过来叫我们吃早餐。我一看,惨了。我这里还有泡面呢,那岂不是太浪费了?于是剩下的全让小猫吃掉。两人回去他们已经吃好了,留了 两大碗给我们,我们觉得很好吃,可是碗太大了。我们两都吃不完,想倒掉,看看没人就走到厨房,准备倒掉的时候大哥进来了,我们赶紧装作加一点汤, 然后又坐回餐桌吃,怕他们知道了觉得不好,小猫实在吃不下了,一只手撑着头就看着面。等到大哥离开厨房,我们又赶紧跑去,把他倒掉。大舒一口气啊。 要出发了,和咋们门票站的大哥们一起拍了张合影作为纪念。永远记得他们给予我们的帮助。谢谢! 84# 花褂子 谢谢花褂子的支持,可是好像人气惨淡啊!伤心中! 离开门票站我们四人开始赶路,虽然只有20来公里,但是基本上都是上坡。所以很是吃力。于是,我们在路上就把身上的笔还有蚂蚁购置的小玩意, 全送给路上遇见的小孩子了。跟着要爬一座很高很大的山,我们没准备走公路,但是又没有看见有可行的路从中间插到上面的公路,于是小猫和蚂蚁就 走到前面去看,准备趟过小溪爬上去,我和乌龟则贿赂一个4岁左右的小女孩问她有没有路上去,她就告诉了我们她家院子后面有。于是,我们兴高采烈 的以为自己会赚到了,走了捷径,于是和小猫他们比赛。等我们爬到一半的时候才发现没路了,没办法了,童言无忌啊。我们只好在松软的沙石上找路走 很是危险。好不容易爬上了公路以为自己比他们快,还想着慢慢走等他们,没想到小猫都在远处的马路上半躺着等我们,蚂蚁这个看着还算壮实的男人,其实 弱的像个女人,才慢慢爬上来。我们到了一起就把包一扔坐下休息,因为这样爬山太TM耗体力了。接着还要爬,但是我们几乎是没看见路,全是相当松软的 沙石,上面长满了蕨类植物。而且还时不时会发现有蚂蟥在那里。走起路来走一步滑下来三步。一不小心甚至会滚下去。 现在放一张在爬坡时候的照。但是只看的见植物,因为蕨长的很高,所以把脚下的沙石都盖住看不到。 但是看的出来坡很高。 这里的从一个地方看另一个地方就在眼前,很近很近但是走到面前的话往往要花上几个钟头,这不夸张!我们爬上一个坡就要休息一下,还要小猫 赏一个棒棒糖补充能量,蚂蚁一心只想赶路就拼命催促我们,我们只好又启程。这坡实在太高了,在一起路还没有修通的时候,真佩服杨二车娜姆一个 女子揣着几个鸡蛋走出大山。我最敬佩的两个女人一个是三毛,另一个就是杨二车娜姆了。很多人是很讨厌她的,主要是因为她在快男当评委时的毒舌, 但是我觉得那些人是不用脑子想事的,听风就是雨。一天到晚就在讲别人的坏话和绯闻,好的,正面的,积极的一面却没注意。 泸沽湖,如若不是杨二车娜姆,我也还不知道这个名字,最初也是从她的口中初识这个地方。也开始想看看她所生活过的女儿国是什么样子的。 我们走了一个上午多才到达山顶,妈呀!终于看见朝思暮想的泸沽湖了。就在【看起来是近处,其实是远处】的地方。真是鸡冻的热泪盈眶啊。 来给乌龟咔一张留作纪念,不过我们站反了,上面的牌子写的是【欢迎下次再来】,咱才刚到,还没走呢! 到了这个地方后面的路可就轻松好多了,这是相比上午的路。下午三点多我们就开始走下坡的路了,真是欢快啊。一路歌声的前进。到了这里旅游车经过的 多了很多,我们在看风景,看风景的人却在看我们。因为我们已经成了他们眼中的风景。一开始没发现,车子在我们身后时就开始有很多人拍照,只觉得有东西 闪闪的,等车子经过时就听见有人说,快点快点过这边来看。 或者是说;快点把相机拿出来。之类的话,。 以前我们遇到这样的情况有时候我们也会恶搞一下,有时招招手,有时扮鬼脸,有时候扮酷,有时候自己在嘀咕;再 看 我们的话就给你敬礼,然后就傻BB的敬军礼,把车上的人搞蒙。 我们不想让别人老是看着,所以又走上了不是路的路。 现在发一张我们走下坡时候的照片,这里我们不想背包了,到后面直接把包滚下去,人就跑下去。 就这样,我们时而走公路,时而穿丛林。慢慢的离泸沽湖更近了。在一个观景台这里看了泸沽湖的全景,兴奋的不行。虽然景色一般,但是 经过自己的辛苦跋涉,千山万水才看见的风景显的格外的美,这种美和一般游客走马观花所看见的不一样,感受也不一样。目的重要,但是过程 经历更重要。 相机问所以拍的不好,但是最美的影像留在我们的心里。走到这里时我们已经疲惫不堪,虽然湖就在脚下,但是还要走很长的路,所以我们 就在这里小休息了一下,但是还是睡着了。 这是乌龟,现在回看起来,其实挺心疼的。([]

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.

(本帖所有水下照片版权为猪娃蛋仔所有,独发8264,请勿转载!) 在印度尼西亚尼 苏拉威西岛的北角有一个著名的“海洋国家公园”, 叫本娜肯国家公园 (Bunaken National Park)。 相信潜水爱好者对“珊瑚三角带”一定很熟悉,而本娜肯就在珊瑚三角区域的中心*。*(珊瑚三角带:由马来西亚,印度尼西亚,巴布亚新几内亚,菲律宾,所罗门群岛,东帝汶所组成的海洋区域。 它被称为 “海洋里的亚马逊”,占据了五百七十万平方公里的海域,是全球海洋生物物种的中心。在这里有超过3000种的鱼类,500多种珊瑚,6大种海龟。) 本娜肯国家公园有超过390种珊瑚,这也提供了很多鱼类,贝类,爬行类,海洋哺乳类和软体动物栖息地。它包含900平方公里的海域,其中本娜肯岛就是我们这次潜水的主要目的地。除了本娜肯岛,我们这次也去了蓝碧海峡 (Lembeh Straits)玩垃圾潜水 (Muck Diving),但是运气不好没有找到拟态章鱼,没关系以后还可以再去。 因为马来西亚,泰国,菲律宾目前都属于雨季,阳光不充足,也因为小编特立独行的个性,(别人去的地方我偏不去),所以诗巴丹,海豚湾,斯米兰,仙本娜可以以后再去。 自从今年初从书里认识了这个潜水圣地,小编可谓做足了准备:在新加坡凑齐了一身合适的潜水装备,还托朋友在日本专门买了佳能5D MARK III的SEA&SEA防水壳和照明配件;2个月前就买了机票,联系当地的潜水中心,预定了酒店的房间,一定要做到万无一失。 这10天的潜水带给我无限的乐趣,“和海龟一起潜行,从扳机鱼群中穿过,智斗八爪小章,水深40米沉船内寻宝,蓝碧海峡搜寻小生物,鼻腔血管爆裂”, 最后美景证明了一切都是值得的。 为了方便大家阅读,小编把此帖分成了3部分:装备篇;行程篇,摄影篇(珊瑚和鱼类科普)。1. 行程篇 :https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1884010-pid-35895318.html2. 装备篇 :https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1884010-pid-35951243.html3. 摄影篇 :https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1884010-pid-35964226.html行程篇:1 - 航班,机场,证信息 2 - 酒店,潜水中心信息 3 - 潜水准备和须知 4 - 本娜肯潜点特色介绍 5 - 蓝碧海峡潜点特色介绍 6 - 高地一日游 (火山 和 内陆湖) 7 - 离境 及 潜水总结第一天当然是坐飞机了,虽说印尼 Manado (万鸦老/美娜多) 属于东南亚北半球,但是飞行距离还是很长,差不多9000公里左右。小编选择的是新加坡航空公司的班机,从北京飞到新加坡樟宜机场,然后转机乘坐SILK AIR航空飞到美娜多,飞行时间一共是9个半小时。大家也可选择乘坐印尼鹰航,相对来讲会比较便宜,但是必须从雅加达转机,比较耽误时间。印尼是落地证,只要你的护照不是白本,几乎不可能拒。证费25美金,有效期30天。 美娜多的 Sam Ratulangi 国际机场不大,办理证,入关,提取行李用不了多久,但是入关时需要按手印提取指纹,只要从容地走程序,一切都不成问。(小编是第2次去印尼了,所以护照和指纹以留记录,就更方便了)。(图片来自网络)(图片来自网络)走出机场立刻就能看到司机举着我的姓名牌,握手寒暄之后,把行李搬上车就开始往酒店出发了。机场距离酒店大概有50分钟车程,小编这次选择的酒店和潜水中心不在市区,而是在西北角的WORI 区,能隔海遥望Bunaken本娜肯岛, Manado Tua美娜多二号岛 和 Siladen 西拉丹岛。来到酒店,没想到正赶上大装修,酒店大堂正在吊灯和添加内饰,中部的游泳池在扩建,小别墅区的VILLA HOUSE 也在加层翻新,难怪之前联系的时候说没有别墅房了,心里多少有些不爽。 登记的时候,前台小妹端来了迎宾果汁,哎!毫无添加剂,没有水的勾兑的味道啊!混合的苹果,橘子和牛油果的香味,现在回国也想试试自制一下。漫步在7公顷的绿茵地上,周围被椰树环绕,想到这几天能在这潜水,一种莫名的兴奋感油然而生。 (图片转自网络)左边的锥形火山是 Manado Tua, 右边的长条型岛就是 Bunaken.房间还算可以吧,该有的都有,不该有的也有。 我的单人间在三楼,可以俯视整个酒店,房间整体成白绿色,一天三潜之后躺在豪华大床上也能恢复体力。 独立空调,温度风速随你控制。 浴室24小时热水,只有淋浴,没有浴池,水量还是很大的,估计可能是离海一步之隔的原因吧,略有有一点咸味。 每间房都有落地窗大阳台,累的时候也可以坐在外面欣赏美景,感受海风。整栋楼都有无线WIFI,但是速度真的是不敢恭维,要不然我就全程直播每日行程了。电视里有很多国际频道,不过小编没有看电视的习惯,具体有没有中文台还真不清楚。最不爽的还是蚊子,热带雨林气候嘛也没办法,每天早晨服务生打扫房间肯定要敞开门的,然后晚上就轮到我把它们挨个拍死,“哎,你不下地狱,还能是我下吗?”(图片转自网络)因为潜水日程是从第2天开始的,所以晚上也没什么事干,正好可以去泳池检查下相机潜水壳是否漏水。大泳池是正在装修扩建,不过还有一个小泳池,“没关系,只要有水就行!” 一开始检测当然不能放相机进去了,不然一旦漏水,连相机都遭殃了。 把机壳和闪光灯的O-Ring 分别图上一层硅油,检查封闭后下水,哦也!一切正常!把潜水壳放回房间后,就是拿上PADI AOW的潜水证,NITROX 富氧许可证和一大袋子的潜水装备赶往酒店的潜水中心登记。很多朋友都说自己潜过水,但是却是无证,我只能告诉你,你那是体验潜水,费用昂贵而且只能潜到10米左右,水下真正的美景你根本感受不到。还是考一个潜水证吧,初级的4天就完事了,小编的进阶潜水证也只用多出两天时间,之后就能潜到40米,还能学会简单的安全技巧和浮力掌握知识,你说值不值呢? 所有潜水装备,除了潜水电脑,潜水手电和相机外,都可以存在潜水中心,每天管理人员会帮你运到船上,装上“压缩21%氧气含量的空气金属气罐”,清洗,晒干;你唯一需要做的就是出发前检查物件是否齐全,检查氧气气压是否达 200大气压。检查完潜水证,填完登记表后,(其实就是证明没有疾病之类的)我还在潜水中心借了两本鱼类科普画册,这几天学一学没有坏处,希望这次看到的鱼类都能叫出名字。因为要潜至少8天,每天至少3潜,所以尽量不要重复潜点,除非偶尔几个真的是非常美丽,值得再去。根据本人的潜水经验,一般早晨8点开始出发,所以尽量早起吃多一点自助早餐,保证一上午的能量供应。 一共两潜,潜点尽量安排在岛的东面,这样阳光可以斜射在珊瑚礁上,色彩会比较鲜艳,对于用鱼眼镜头拍摄大场面效果会非常好。中午12点回酒店,要立刻吃午餐。 下午2点出发,这时太阳已经开始西下,所以去岛的西边吧,可以换成准镜头拍摄鱼类。夜潜一般在6点,可以把潜点安排在水下沙地和珊瑚礁潜点,这时虾兵蟹将都出动了,拿上你的微距镜头,手电和摄影灯吧,小生物的特写全靠这些装备了。记住每次潜水之后都要休息至少一个小时让身体排出氮气,一般就是坐在船上瞎聊,这时可以提前准备一些零食,比如香蕉,茶水之类的。小编每个早晨出海都会灌一壶红糖姜茶,不但可以补充能量,还能让大脑兴奋起来。Bunaken 本娜肯潜水点Lembeh Straits 蓝碧海峡潜水点前5天差不多都是在本娜肯岛周围潜水,此岛非常特殊,海下四周都是深不见底的悬崖,所以WALL DIVE可算是全球闻名。小编几乎全程按照摄影计划实施,偶尔也会迁就同船的日本潜友,去一些他们喜欢的潜点。每一潜都会有潜导带队,没队最多3人,绝对可以照顾的过来。潜导们对这里非常熟悉,跟我说海底就是他们的家,在家里找到想找的东西易如反掌。潜水第一天:潜点1.

印度第一站初识印度------圣城瓦拉纳西昆明杞子 2011年11月20日下午在一位曾经几次走陆路进入印度的韩国女生的带领下,一行8人包了一辆小吉普车从兰毗尼到达尼-印边境口岸. 下车的首要任务就是换币,而需要换的主要货币就是手中所剩的尼泊尔卢比,因为一般背包客是不愿再从印度尼泊尔返回尼泊尔了.而多数人手里的美金也不用急于在此兑换,因为美金在印度国内都是较为受欢迎的币种,在哪都能换到印度卢比,而且汇率相差不会太大.而人民币在尼泊尔相对还好兑换一些,毕竟在尼泊尔的华人较多,汇率也可以按樟木口岸(中国西藏与尼泊尔最大的陆路口岸)计算.但到了印度,就会让你充分感到人民币极没有市场,他们也可以给你换,但计算下来,相当于10元人民币就贬了只能换1美元了.出境前到处可见的换币窗口 (11月20日 225 PM 尼泊尔时间) 我们8人分几拨分别到不同的窗口去询价,因为这里好多的换币窗口它的汇率开价都不一样,但都会包含一定的手续费.按尼印两国政府的约定,两国货币是固定的11.6 即1印度卢比换16尼泊尔卢比,最终,我们分别在两个窗口均以1.62的汇率换完了手中的尼泊尔卢比.当然,也有相关的攻略和有曾走过这线路的朋友提过在不到边境的小镇白沙瓦可以不用交手续费就可以按11.6兑换,可惜这次我们没有能节省下这笔手续费.印有十七种文字的印度卢比纸币 但各面额都印有圣雄甘地的头像 在此建议,换币时最好别忘了换一点零钱,因为零钱可能马上就要用到,这样会方便很多,不然会面临一些不必要的麻烦,下文会提及到.而且尽量避免换成最大票面1000卢比的纸币,毕竟我们第一次面对印度卢比,我们还没有完全正确识别它真伪的能力.待续......注部分关于城市及景点的介绍摘抄于网络.游记包含部分的攻略/行程还有一些值得记忆的点滴.感谢结伴同行及还有一路给予过帮助的朋友.若内容有些许偏差请予谅解续:完成换币后继续前行,这边陲小镇依然热闹拥挤,若不是有志性的两国国门的话,还真认为这就是一个融为一体的城镇.我们顺利找到尼泊尔的离境办公室,还好这没有其他人在办理(我们已经习惯了排队通关).于是在移民局官员和善的微笑中我们填表盖章,顺利地办理了离境手续. 尼-印边境口岸的尼泊尔出入境办公室 (11月20日 318 PM 尼泊尔时间) 我们随着熙熙攘攘的人流越过了两国的大门,正式跨入了印度的国界.同时我们也在纳闷我们没在离境办公室见有其他人,但却有那么多人和我们同时过境,而且守在国门的士兵也没有检查,盘问,也许真是尼印两国亲密无间到了这种境界.进入印度境内,逐渐人流车流也就越来越多,我们根本无法判断印度的入境登记办公室在哪,于是不断询问路边的商铺老板,可都是同样的回答,一直往前走.这时让我想起一朋友说过,她搭了一拖拉机到边境,但不知不觉就进了印度,没人盘查,一直到了开往瓦拉纳西的汽车站时,她才醒悟她拿着好不容易领到的印度证却还是以偷渡的方式进入了印度.我为了避免我朋友同样的情况发生,一边躲让身边的各种卡车.行人.流浪狗,以至于道路边的各种粪便,一边密切注意那隐藏在商铺中的入境登记办公室.果不其然,在一卖类似布料的商铺旁,也就是在入境方向靠左边的一侧,两道门围了几个欧美人的店面,那就是了……不禁汗哪! 左侧即是隐藏在商铺间的印度出入境登记办公室 (11月20日 340 PM尼泊尔时间) 填好表格办理完入境手续,这才算是正式的合法进入这古老又神奇的国度.接下来我们不得不沿着这川流不息的街道继续前行,寻找直达圣城瓦拉纳西的长途汽车站.本来并不算狭窄的道路却塞满的各种边境贸易货运的卡车,而来来往往的行人也在各车辆中川行而过.车辆的喇叭声,行人的吆喝声,更显得道路的嘈杂.凡是之前到过印度的背包客和所有的旅游攻略都在告戒要前往那里的人,只要进了印度必须提防自己的随身物品,以免被盗,于是乎初到这陌生的环境,所有人都象草木皆兵一样的关注着自己的箱包,而且不知是不是这里刚下过雨的原因,道路略显泥泞,我们一路只能手护着行李,低着头小心翼翼的前行.大约走了半个多小时,终于到了长途客运站,说是客运站感觉夸张了一些,它仅仅是个路边的一个小巷子,里面停了两三辆很破旧的客车罢了.我们询问了客车的信息,得知去往瓦拉纳西的客车是印度时间6点出发,行驶10小时左右到达(尼泊尔与中国时差215印度与中国时差230时差都是比中国晚 以下均为印度时间),离客车出发还有一个小时左右的时间,于是大家付钱购好车票后就四周找吃的,并且买些饼干干粮一类的食品,毕竟等待我们的将是一宿夜车的艰辛旅程. 初进印度的第一餐尘土飞扬的街边炒鸡蛋----要享受它得有一定的身心抵抗力哦! (11月20日 500 PM) 同行的所有人从四周回来便不约而同地讨论起刚刚1小时内各自发生的有趣的事情.之前大家都了解了这国度里小偷和骗子居多,更有甚者曾有人说,过境就会面临十人九骗,而且骗子会有几套方案,A方案就是把你骗光,片甲不留.若是没有成功就再实施B方案,骗你的大部分钱财,依次递减骗取数额.如果被你识破了他的骗术的话,那他也会就像什么也没发生,对你憨厚地一笑,并返还骗你的那一部分.听到这些,是不是会感觉印度人民太TM不可思议了.哈哈!其中一女生描述,去买饼干,议价时都说的15(fifteen),而且女生再次确认了15,付款找补时却收了50(fifty),印度的部分人民经常用这英文发音比较接近的方式糊弄非英语国家的游客,这是要显摆一下他们是英联邦的国家吗?目前还不得而知,呵呵.后来经过女生强硬的一再要求下,印度的店家无奈的按15收费.而另一哥们儿,在买香蕉时,成交并付钱找补后返回途中,再次看了攥在手里的钱,越看越不对,这钱咋那么面熟呢?靠!这不是才兑换完了的尼泊尔卢比吗,付钱给他的印度卢比,找钱找的却是尼泊尔卢比.哈….这事,是不是又好气又好笑.同样,他返回去后,那印度小贩微笑地换给他印度卢比.所以前文所述的在换币时,尽可能的备一些零钱,避免在找补时被不良小贩钻了空子.还有其他人也或多或少碰到些问,但总的来说吧,这些骗术可能在这国家内自己身边都将出现不少,但也不至于有多让你伤脑筋,只要注意一些细节,凡事多留心一些,应该是可以避免的,再说,这类事也是这不可思议的国度它文化的组成部分吧!待续...... 续:说是6点出发的车,最终到了7点才发动,.通往瓦拉纳西的公路却不象国内的所谓国道基本都通高速路,它那顶多算也就二级路面罢了.其次,我们乘坐的这大客车,除了能让我找回些童年的回忆外,实在是再没有什么好感了.现在已时值冬季,也算是印度最凉爽的时候,但车箱内仍就透着些许热浪,不禁庆幸自己选择这段时间来到印度,否则那真是万万扛不住的. 在印度搭乘这样夜班车的人真的伤不起哪! (11月20日 800 PM)这破旧的大客车由两名司机轮换着驾驶,时速30-60迈行驶在颠簸的道路上.不料,才行驶两个多小时,客车就缓缓停下,司机下车检查了好长时间没有上来,车上的人也纷纷下车方便,并询问情况,得知车胎爆了,要换轮胎.而更叫人悲催的却是,这车上没有备胎,要等待维修站送轮胎过来.也许印度乘客都习惯了这种意外,没有怨言,相安无事,而作为外国人的我们也只能相视感叹这备胎又占不了多大地方,难道他们对自己的车况信心十足?还是每次出现这样的状况,不管车辆在什么位置,都由维修站送轮胎?无奈的等待了一个多小时,客车再次发动.午夜经过戈勒克布尔,到处的灯火辉煌,同时看见了火车,感觉它算是途经的第一个印度城市.进入市区后,不时传来锣鼓声,从车窗外望去,一支盛装打扮的队伍正喜庆的沿街而过,面客车驶过另一条街又有一队,大家都以为今天又是印度的什么节日吧(印度国内隔三差五就是节日),一问身边的印度人,才知这是结婚的仪式,也许今天的是个印度嫁娶的好日子吧!接下来又是晕晕乎乎的几小时车程,凌晨4点半,客车终于到达瓦拉纳西车站. 凌晨时分到达瓦拉纳西汽车客运站 站内席地而睡的印度旅客 (11月21日 458 AM) 我们懵懵懂懂地下了车,都把行李堆到了站台上,有的靠在行李上休息,有的翻看LP攻略,计划下一步的行程.最后大家还是听取了多次来过这里的韩国女生的建议,现在时间太早,在车站休息至6点左右坐TUTU车直接到恒河边的旅店,那里是外国游客的聚集地.天蒙蒙亮起来,我们也到了恒河畔的街区,接着开始步行穿越巷道寻找合适的旅馆.之前知道瓦拉纳西是个能给背包客截然不同感觉的城市,有的是大爱,而有的却是极其厌恶.当时只能凭想象,充满了困惑,非常渴望早日来亲眼目睹一下.此时,身陷其中,我也体会到有人厌恶的原因所在天刚亮,本就阴暗潮湿的巷道更显得昏暗湿滑,更离奇的是,所有巷道内都有牛站立或睡倒横在其中,经过一宿,随地到处堆积了粪便,使得行走不由的得格外小心避让.其中有的同伴早已嗤之以鼻,表示不想在这过多停留,有了下一步的计划便立马撤退. “神牛”在巷道中横刀立马 (11月21日 645 AM) 待续......续:我们找到久负盛名的”久美子之家”,包括LP都有推荐的这家旅馆,它就紧贴恒河,而此时恒河大雾弥漫,能见度极低,不免都在担心我们来的不是时候,连河水在哪都看不到,这圣河难道将与我们无缘? 久美子之家下的恒河河畔大雾弥漫(11月21日700 AM) 进入”久美子之家”后,发现原来由日本人开的这家旅馆已由一对印度老夫妇经营了,上楼看过床位,这条件并不理想,最终还是选定一家由韩国人开的OM Rest House,300卢比一个间,每人150卢比,相当于20元人民币不到,而且卫生条件要好很多. 久负盛名的”久美子之家”旅馆坐落在恒河河畔(11月22日906 AM) 安顿好住的,注意到恒河上的浓雾在慢慢散去,便迫不及待的想到恒河河畔感受这古老国度的魅力所在.瓦拉纳西是印度教徒心中的圣地,他们人生的四大乐趣------“住瓦拉纳西、结交圣人、饮恒河水、敬湿婆神”有3个都要在瓦拉纳西实现.中国唐朝高僧玄奘当年历经千辛万苦,最终要到的极乐西天指的就是瓦拉纳西. 恒河河畔(11月21日1057AM) 待续......续:瓦拉纳西位于印度北方邦境内,是印度最古老的城市,相传是由印度教中主管生死的湿婆大神所建,信奉印度教的人们相信湿婆常在这里的恒河边上巡视,凡在这里死亡并火化的,均可免受轮回之苦,直接升入天堂,所以每天都有成千上万的教徒从四面八方赶到瓦拉纳西. 恒河河畔供奉湿婆神的庙宇(11月23日700 AM) 沿着河畔漫步,恒河里的景象着实让我们感叹不已.河里不仅有祈祷的教徒,也有洗浴的”神牛”、祭祀的香火.只是经过了几千年洗礼,已经形成各河段分区域特定的功能及含意. 恒河里每天都给”神牛洗澡” (11月21日401 PM) 而其中最为震撼的一个区域就是隆重的焚尸场.没有被烧成灰的尸体被抛入河中,各种污物在河水中时隐时现.从常识上看,恒河很难说得上卫生,但这并不影响恒河在印度教徒心目中的地位.相反却强化了他们的信仰,通过这样的方式,他们希望能洗净现世的业障,而让自己的灵魂平安进入生命的轮回. 远方燃烟处便是恒河河畔焚烧尸体的区域(11月22日843 AM) 尽管在尼泊尔加德满都也有印度教类似的宗教场所(帕斯帕提纳庙也俗称烧尸庙),但相较而言,那里仅是印度教各项活动其中的一个缩影.但在这里说明一点,在这个区域,作为游客的我们,可能没法理解这种仪式,但我们必须得尊重.对于逝者的亲友有的或悲痛有的或随意而安,所有的一切就是这古老国度的文化的组成部分.而我们不能放任自己的好奇心,拿手中的相机或DV肆无忌惮的捕风捉影,所以此文的图片中没有这类细节待续...... 回复 long7475 的帖子并不是直接扔哦 是在恒河河畔烧续:向恒河里放祈福灯的妇女 (11月23日 648 AM) 印度教徒相信恒河能够自我清洁,认为世界上只有恒河水不会滋生出传染病菌,所以他们放心地饮用这里的恒河水,并且用容器把水带回家里,以便在一些隆重日子喷洒在自己身上.由于整个注意力都集中到了来世,以至于忽略了现世的周围环境. 恒河里晨浴前面向日出的祷告 (11月23日 708 AM) 此时节,已算是枯水期了吧,河对岸放眼望去,干涸的河床已然成了一片沙滩.而沿着恒河靠城市这方的几里地,都有极为特色的古老建筑倚河畔而建.有木质的,有砖墙的,也有沙岩的.它们一座座的象古堡一样,挺拔地屹立在历史的长河中,也形成了瓦拉纳西一道非凡的风景. 极有特色的河畔建筑 (11月22日 845AM)待续......续: 漫步当中,曾一起在尼泊尔办理印度证而提前到达瓦拉纳西的朋友,相约于恒河河畔一个叫莲花的餐厅(LOTUS RESTRANT).见面,曾经相伴在一个国家,分开后又到另一个国家再次相聚自然有聊不完的话,从一路的艰辛到圣城瓦拉纳西,大家彼此都有不同的经历和感受.可以眺望恒河的莲花餐厅 最最最受欢迎的是它免费提供WIFI哦 (11月22日155 PM) 身处这别致的餐厅,与外面的环境形成了强烈的反差,安静舒适,并有一半的露台,可以享受阳光微风.站在露台前,一望无际的恒河风景也就呈现在你的眼前.而对于非常在意消费水准的我们,这里的价位是可以接受的,更受很多外国游客欢迎的是它免费提供无线网络(许多旅馆不提供 WIFI就算有也是计时收费的.),以至于在恒河边晃荡累了的我们就会在此点瓶可乐,惬意地享受一下午了.在莲花餐厅远眺恒河及恒河大桥 (11月21日 204 PM) 顺着河边回到城镇,到处的凌乱又映入眼帘,本就不为宽敞的道路两边挤满了各种小贩,而路中央也堆满了各种垃圾.喜爱与厌恶的复杂心情顿时由然而生.紧邻恒河的集市 (11月21日 1102 AM)待续...... 续: 在瓦拉纳西的停留期间,恰逢同行者的生日,在这印度教的圣地,用过只有素食的晚餐后,他无奈的感慨,自己还没有过过这种没有晕菜没有任何酒类的生日啊,只有买点巧克力回去为他的母亲庆祝一下了.这话说得听起来都有些凄凉,于是我们还是不甘心地再次努力寻找啤酒, 我们走出巷道,进入拥挤的瓦拉纳西街头,一直沿着街道仔细地注意所有的店铺,希望能出现我们想要的东西,但在这视饮酒等同于犯罪的印度教圣地,不得不再次令我们失望. 华灯初上的瓦拉纳西街头 (11月22日 714 PM) 瓦拉纳西街头华丽的莎丽店 (11月21日 521 PM) 无奈,我们又返回巷道中.途经几个商铺都不抱希望地小声试问,终于一商铺的妇人示意我们稍等一下,便拿起电话,小声地用印度语讲了一通.一会儿,一当地男子将我们带到另一商店,商定了啤酒品牌/数量和价格,并要我们在此等十分钟然后便收钱骑一辆摩托离开了.大约一刻钟过后,那人回来,手里拎一袋子,里面用报纸包裹着啤酒,并告诫我们要悄悄在旅馆的房间里喝.此时此刻,我已经感觉我是在犯罪了! 历尽艰辛才得到的生日啤酒------KINGFISHER (11月22日 942 PM) 回到房间,打开啤酒.久违了的口感终于找到了.我们一边聊天一边小心翼翼地低声碰撞瓶口以表庆祝,可让我们意外的是,这啤酒比国内的要给力许多,一瓶下去是有明显的力度的,一看酒瓶识,确实酒精度要高一些,要不然还真以为是我们都很久没喝含酒精的东西,早已不胜酒力喽!最后,感觉气氛略为单调了一些,找遍电脑里所有的音乐,没有那首庆生歌,只有一首温岚的<祝我生日快乐>与生日相关.于是就有用它来助下兴吧,音乐响起的同时,这哥们儿的眼泪也快下来了......唉,要在瓦拉纳西过生也怕是场杯具啊! 待续...... 续: 相比起那些刚到瓦拉纳西当天就因承受不了这里的环境而离开的背包客来说,我们呆的时间也算长了,呵呵,于是便在计划离开的前一天订了去往阿格拉的火车票.就在巷道内不远处就有订票代理机构,它也只是在你订票票价的基础上加一定的代理费,总而言之,也还算合理. 面对即将踏上印度的火车,最好还得准备一准工具哦,到过印度的所有人几乎必带锁,不管是东方人还是欧美人,甚至在后来看到印度人民上了火车后,也同样拿出锁把行李锁在座位下专为上锁设计的环扣上,可见,锁这种再普通不过的东西却能在印度国内的火车上发挥着其相当积极的作用啊. 就在瓦拉纳西市场中购买的上火车前必备的”装备”------锁 傍晚,我们按订票代理机构约定的时间取到了预订的火车票,四人同行的就共同出了一张票.当我们仔细看了车票后发现,基本都符合我们的要求,但有一项出发地并非我们所在的瓦拉纳西,而是BUXAR,便让工作人员解释,他告诉我们,当日已经没有次日从这到阿格拉的票了,只有预订瓦拉纳西前面的一个站才行,然后再改从这上车.解释完,我们都面面相觑质疑他所说的,最后这可爱的印度人用发誓的方式向我们保证,这张车票绝对没问的,既然都这样了,我们相信即使有问他们店铺在这里,也可以再来找他们.于是便回去准备下一站的旅程.四人同行从瓦拉纳西至阿格拉的火车票 次日,用过午餐并备了一天的干粮,毕竟从瓦拉纳西到阿格拉要坐一天的车程.然后四人背起行囊走出了巷道,刚出巷道就有许多TUTU的驾驶员上来招揽生意,谈好价钱后便上车赶往火车站.TUTU车刚要驶出这街区,进入市区时,有一警察招手把车拦了下来,而司机便主动掏出20卢比交给他,这算是过路费还是索贿?不懂.但我想起有的背包客说过,最好走出这街区再坐车,不然司机会多加钱,原来是这个原因.最后TUTU车到达火车站站口,付钱时司机非要多加那20卢比不可,我们也非常气愤一据理力争,那钱是他自己给的,并没有征求我们的意见,而且上车前也没有向我们说明这个情况,凭什么要给,于是我们塞给他谈好的数额便头也不回的进了火车站. 过了简单的安检后便在大厅内的显示屏查看我们这列车的月台号,随后找到月台就开始了这漫长的等待,因为只要不是起始站发车的话,中途上车的火车基本都要晚点.四人在这简陋的月台无聊至极,四处张望,一会寻找人群中有无印度美女,一会看看铁轨中间的”神牛”,最后我们看到了脚边垃圾堆上窜来窜去的老鼠. 靠!就连火车站里的铁轨旁也有”神牛”的身影 (11月23日 359 PM) 差不多晚点一小时后,属于我们的列车终于来了,所有人都一跃而起奔向自己的车厢,拥挤的情形不禁让我想起了春运,但看样子在印度,天天都是春运啊. 随着列车的慢慢滑动,我们也即将告别这令人感叹的城市------瓦拉纳西. 瓦拉纳西结束 下一站阿格拉回复 祖传根治鼻炎5 的帖子但人家的文化传承得却非常好啊 印度第二站“完美建筑”泰姬陵在这里------阿格拉昆明杞子2011年11月24日下午,经过20小时左右的车程,火车终于驶入了历史名城------阿格拉,作为统治了全印度几百年的莫卧儿王朝曾经的国都,它积淀了深厚的文化底蕴.而其中首屈一指的就非泰姬陵莫属了.当初选择阿格拉作为下一站也正因为它在这里静静矗立了三百多年,必须亲眼目睹一下它的那份纯净,那份高贵,还有它背后那刻骨铭心的爱情故事.下了火车,环顾四周却对这曾经的国都有些许意外,整个车站冷冷清清,没有了瓦拉纳西的拥挤和嘈杂,这反而使我们有些不太习惯,阿格拉车站内寥寥无几的旅客 (11月24日 124 PM)我们走出火车站,可能阿格拉距离首都新德里仅两百多公里,现在只是一个较小的车站.车站外有一个停车场,停满了各种出租车,有小轿车也有我们熟悉的TUTU. 阿格拉车站的售票厅 (11月24日 130 PM)我们按照LP的推荐,与TUTU车司机谈好价后直接赶往泰姬陵南门寻找住处.似乎所有的背包客都手持一本LP,到了南门附近,随处可见各国的游客,很明显,这也是一个外国人聚集的区域.比较了几家旅馆后,最后确定住在一家300卢比一个间的旅馆,而最关键的是,它的天台可以远眺泰姬陵的全景,并且没有任何的遮挡物.待续......注部分关于城市及景点的介绍摘抄于网络.游记包含部分的攻略/行程还有一些值得记忆的点滴.感谢结伴同行及还有一路给予过帮助的朋友.若内容有些许偏差请予谅解续:放好行李,一看时间还好,便迫不及待地走向南门入口.通往南门的是一条四五米宽的巷子,而整条巷子此时还有很多印度人在排队入园.当即就被这阵式给震住------要是排队,那等进去后那天都黑喽.. 排队过安检入园的泰姬陵南门 (11月24日 403 PM) 当打算放弃当日入园时,便到售票处询问次日几时开馆.可售票员告诉我们,泰姬陵每周五闭馆,而现在购票还来得及参观,外国人票价750卢比(这是印度我去过的最昂贵的门票),是不需要排队的,直接过安检便可进入,但除相机和小包外,不允许携带任何的电子设备和背包.于是我们以最快的速度买票,存包,过安检.最后终于踏进了泰姬陵的南门,穿过人群,迫不及待地进入园内,它便映入了眼帘. 身边嘈杂的人群无法影响它的宁静与祥和 (11月24日 417 PM) 泰姬陵全称泰姬玛哈陵(TajMahal),它坐落在亚穆纳河右侧,是莫卧儿王朝第5代君主——沙·贾汗(ShahJahan)对他心爱的皇后慕塔芝·玛哈(MamtazMahal)之爱的见证. 泰姬陵下的亚穆纳河 (11月24日 420 PM) 待续......续:泰姬陵的建造背后有一段动人的故事,话说沙·贾汗与皇后结婚19年,皇后在1630年第14次生产中去世,临终前向国王要求了4个承诺,其中一项便是为她建造一座人人可瞻仰的美丽陵墓.于是沙·贾汗便耗资500万卢比,完成了这座震惊世人的大理石艺术建筑,作为爱妃长眠之所.而在他死后,与皇后一起被葬在泰姬陵.泰姬陵便成了一座伟大的爱情纪念碑,它是一代君王爱情的见证,向世人讲述着他们的爱情故事.甚至有后人比喻不到长城非好汉,不到泰姬陵就没到过印度,它不再是一座陵寝它是这古老文明的完美体现(11月24日540 PM) 泰姬陵的构思和布局充分体现了伊斯兰建筑艺术庄严肃穆、气势宏伟的特点,整个建筑富于哲理,是一个完美无缺的艺术珍品.所有游客都把印度人民的这一非凡杰作称为印度的奇珍.泰姬陵被誉为“完美建筑”.它由殿堂、钟楼、尖塔、水池等构成,全部用纯白色大理石建筑,用玻璃、玛瑙镶嵌,绚丽夺目、美丽无比,有极高的艺术价值.是伊斯兰教建筑中的代表作. 泰姬陵西侧的清真寺(11月24日442 PM) 虽然它是一座陵寝,可它却没有通常陵寝所有的冷寂.相反你感到它似乎在天地之间浮动.它的和谐对称、花园和水中倒影融合在一起创造了令无数参观者惊叹不已的奇迹.估计有2万名工匠参与了泰姬陵的建造,历时22年才完成.据说参与了工程的建筑师至今没有一位被记录肯定参与了陵寝的建造——这对这个建筑物却是很适宜的,因为建造它的本意在于让人们只记住在陵寝里的人. 平静的水面倒映着泰姬陵(11月24日428 PM). 待续......续:也许是次日不开放的原因,此时已近黄昏,但仍有源源不断的参观者涌入园内,当然绝大部分都是印度人,还有很多已经参观完陵墓的人群聚集在园内不忍离去,继续注视着泰姬陵并且似乎还在相互讨论着它的历史和故事. 已参观完毕的印度妇女席地而坐继续瞻仰着泰姬陵(11月24日415 PM) 我们知道时间紧迫,就急促地走近泰姬陵,在大理石台阶下存放好鞋子(进入陵寝必须光脚头顶围巾或带帽),随着人群依次排队准备进入陵寝参观. 排队进入陵寝的泰姬陵一角(11月24日440 PM) 队列慢慢接近泰姬陵的墙面,此时终于可以近距离地感受它的完美工艺了.泰姬陵是用从322公里外的采石场运来的大理石造的,但它却不是有些照片里的那种纯白色建筑.成千上万的宝石和半宝石镶嵌在大理石在表面,陵墓上的文字是用黑色大理石做的.从一道雕花的大理石围栏上可以看到出色的手艺.阳光照射在围栏上时,它投下变化纷呈的影子.从前曾有银制的门,里面有金制栏杆和一大块用珍珠穿成的布盖在皇后的衣冠冢上(它的位置在实际埋葬地之上).窃贼们偷去了这些珍贵的东西,许多人曾企图挖取镶嵌在大理石栏上的宝石,所以现今进入陵园只能携带随身的小包.但不管怎样,泰姬陵的雄伟壮丽仍使人为之倾倒. 陵寝外墙均为大理石镶嵌的雕花(11月24日451 PM) 进入陵寝后才知,它其实也就二十平方左右的一间屋子,陵墓位于屋子中央,四周都是镂空图案的大理石墙面,所有参观者顺着队列顺时针环视一周后退出屋子,于是便再次走到园内仰望晚霞中的泰姬陵.待续......续:据说泰姬陵百看不厌,它在一天里不同的时间和不同的自然光线中显现出不同的特色.朝霞升起时分,初升的一轮红日伴着亚穆纳河袅袅的晨雾,仿佛要将泰姬陵从睡梦中唤醒,此时的它显得静静的.中午时分,泰姬陵头顶蓝天白云,脚踏碧水绿树,在南亚一向耀眼的阳光映衬下,更出落得玲珑剔透,光彩夺目.傍晚,泰姬陵迎来了它一天中最妩媚的时刻,斜阳夕照下,白色的泰姬陵开始从灰黄、金黄,逐渐变成粉红、暗红、淡青色,随着月亮的冉冉升起,最终回归成银白色.在月色朦胧中,泰姬陵显得格外高雅别致和皎洁迷人,犹如美人泰姬在含情沉思.据称,泰姬陵最美丽的时候,是皓月当空的夜晚,白色的大理石陵寝,在月光映照下会发出淡淡的紫色,清雅出尘,美得仿佛下凡的仙女. 晚霞中淡青色的泰姬陵 (11月24日 505 PM) 本想看看月光下的泰姬陵,可一直匆忙的我们已经饥肠辘辘,便依依不舍地走出了南门.此时,天黑也慢慢暗了.我们穿梭在陵园南门外的街道,寻觅合适的地方吃饭.不经意就在路两旁的商铺中发现有中国的香烟在出售,有”玉溪””紫云”等等,这让我们十分意外, 泰姬陵外的商店出售的”玉溪”烟 仔细端详,这些烟还不错,具备了各项进口识的包装,而且价却更让我们诧异不已,90卢比,相当于10块钱人民币多一点哦,.此时已经迫不及待地想尝一尝久违的家乡味道.于是便付钱收纳,拆开点燃,继而崩溃...... 又是一包”稻草”(我们对印度假烟的评价).的确,要真是正品的话,那早被反倾销喽. 90卢比的中国烟------便宜没好货啊 待续...... 续: 我们找到一家招牌上也有韩文的餐馆.同伴乃东北的朝鲜族.想看看这家有没有好吃点的韩餐以及它的性价比,便进去坐下.非常年幼的服务生给我们送上菜单,同伴接过后仔细浏览了一遍,当翻至最后一页,便兴奋地对我叫道”啤酒”.这一叫差点吓我一跳,还正想开玩笑说.哥们儿,你想酒想疯了吧,但想起这家伙虽然不懂英文,但熟悉韩文,便拿过菜单寻找那我们期待出现已久的”Beer”.果然,它就在那里,确确实实在那里.这也是我第一次在这国度的菜单里看到了这个贴心的单词. 令人心喜的韩国餐馆的菜单 期待已久的啤酒终于上桌了,当我们正准备豪放的畅饮时,小服务员便过来,提醒我们将酒瓶放到桌下,要喝时再提起来喝,看来这里禁酒也是半遮半掩啊!酒足饭饱后,劳累一天的我们便回到旅馆休息了.次日,早上的行程锁定在一个名叫法塔赫布尔西格里的世界文化遗产.法塔赫布尔西格里位于阿格拉市西面而40公里处的阿格拉县,城堡遗址得名于其附近的一个名叫西格里的小村.1986年被列入世界文化遗产.与一个来自上海的哥们用过早餐,然后参考了LP的介绍,每人25卢比坐TUTU车到汽车站(乘LOCAL BUS,但汽车站的名字忘了,这里也有通往新德里的客车.),每人花了27卢比便上车出发,而车票是交钱时便用像POS机一样的东西当场打印出来给你,我没零钱,就付了30元,还在等找补时,售票员告诉我下车时再补,后来我发现好多人也都是这样的,也许这就是他们的习惯吧. 令人惊悚的LOCAL BUS的驾驶位 (11月25日 933 AM) 这上年纪的客车缓缓驶出阿格拉市区,一路颠簸地驶向法塔赫布尔西格里.途中经过几个小村镇时,也有上上下下的乘客.当在一个比较热闹的集市停留时,这哥们看见有兜售香蕉的小贩,便忍不住问了价格,被告之5卢比一个时,就掏10卢比买了两个解馋.刚成交后,他座位旁一学生模样的男孩告诉他,在这里,香蕉是12卢比一公斤.听后,这哥们便将头转男孩,口里含着剥开的香蕉,用诧异的眼神质疑这男孩说的是不是真的哦.约两小时车程,到达法塔赫布尔西格里汽车站.下车时,一位和蔼的大娘还提醒我向售票员找补3卢比,真是没有这样的习惯,我们确实很容易把这事给忘了,这时才注意到,下车后的很多乘客都依次排队在等找补.出了车站,发现它就设在城堡旁的小集市中,外面就是熙熙攘攘的街道. 西格里村镇街道上的骆驼拉车 (11月25日 1129 AM) 街道两旁都是各种小贩,当然也有卖香蕉的.这哥们迫不及待地想要证实邻座男孩的话,便上前询价,当我们还价12卢比一公斤时,小贩说不可能,于是我们就转身准备离开,那小贩却又叫住我们,同意了这个价格.而哥们同时也仰天大呼,他还是给印度人给讹了.想到这2块人民币不到一公斤的香蕉,从来没吃过,并且品相及味道一点都不差,于是乎每人买一公斤,都恨不得把它当饭吃了。待续......续:从LP上了解到,这古堡也是曾经的皇宫,面积相当大,得好几个小时才能逛完,所以尽管还没有饥饿感,但都觉得还是吃些东西再进城堡方便一些.后来发现,这些商贩中好多是卖的同样的东西,看上去像是国内的香酥饼,我们猜想,这可能是这个村镇的特产,一定得尝试一下,便20卢比买了两个,分别尝后,确实不错,又香又酥.而后又吃了些带了些东西,便来到了城堡门前. 仰望城堡拱门的印度老者 (11月25日 1148 AM) 法塔赫布尔西格里城堡是莫卧儿帝国的首都所在地.此城建于1569年,由阿克巴大帝下令建造,但完成后因水源问,14年后便废弃了.现留在城内的宫殿和寺庙如达加清真寺(Dar-gahMosque)、风宫(PalaceofJodhBai)、鹿塔(Hirannar)等,都一一显示莫卧儿王朝时的繁华景况.按照伊斯兰教习俗,必须脱鞋光脚才能进入,于是我们存放好鞋后步入城门,而里面硕大空旷的清真寺让我们豁然开朗. 城堡清真寺内景 (11月25日 1205 AM) 法塔赫布尔西格里的意思是胜利,故后来又命名为胜利宫.其修建经过如下阿克巴大帝虽拥有妻妾多人,但结婚多年仍膝下无儿.某日路过西格里镇,遇见一位先知沙林,自称能预卜未来,便请求其指点迷津.沙林预言阿克巴将可获子继承帝位,但必须遣送两位妻子住在西格里镇.后来其中一位印籍妻子果然生下一子,大帝为感谢先知,将他的儿子取名为沙林,就是日后继承阿克巴帝位的加汉基尔王. 而沙基·沙林·契斯提的墓就在此清真寺院中央,墓上的雕刻装饰精美绝伦. 加汉基尔王的陵寝 (11月25日 1208 PM)待续......续:法塔赫布尔西格里城堡既是莫卧儿文明的体现,又将许多风格相同的纪念碑和寺庙荟萃一地,形成建筑群体的典范.其中最著名的是达加清真寺,它建于1571-1572年间,可容纳1万名信徒作祈祷, 清真寺内弹奏的穆斯林 (11月25日 1209 PM) 该遗址的大多数主体建筑以红沙岩石为原料,组成众多颇具特色的寺庙和一座气势宏大、装饰豪华的皇宫,突出地体现了莫卧儿文明的辉煌成就. 城堡内的红砂岩建筑 (11月25日 108 PM) 两个多小时后,我们游览完了整个城堡,清真寺当天是免费开放,但老皇宫的门票是300卢比.我们顺着城堡外又环视了一周便坐上返回阿格拉市区的客车,赶往下一景点------阿格拉堡. 法塔赫布尔西格里城堡外牵牛的农民 (11月25日 140 PM)待续...... 续: 阿格拉堡,全部采用红砂岩建造而成,故又称红堡,与首都德里的红堡齐名.它的古堡建筑是印度-伊斯兰艺术顶峰时期的代表作. 阿格拉堡城门 (11月25日 423 PM) 阿克巴大帝(系沙杰汗的祖父)选中了现今阿格拉堡的城址,费了近8年的时光,终于在1573年建成了这座古堡.它具有宫殿和城堡的双重功能,城墙高20米,因全部用红砂岩砌成,在阳光照耀之下,发出刺眼的红色.堡内有著名的“谒见之厅”,是莫卧儿王朝帝王接见大臣、使节的地方. 阿格拉堡内的”谒见之厅” (11月25日 503 PM)另有加汉基尔宫(Jehangir’sPalace)、八角瞭望塔(OctagonalTower)和莫迪寺(MotiMasjid因用纯白色大理石建筑而成,精致典雅,故又称珍珠寺)等建筑物.古堡内的建筑物曾多达500多座,但保留至今的已经很少.1983年被列人世界遗产名录.加汉基尔宫是城堡中的重要建筑物,宫内大院四周有二层小楼环绕,宫墙金碧辉煌,彩画似锦。 加汉基尔宫外的二层小楼 (11月25日 515PM)待续...... 续:这古老的城市似乎永远都有那个凄美的爱情故事索绕着.阿格拉堡有一座八角形的石塔小楼,登临塔顶,极目远眺,可以看到举世闻名的泰姬陵,前面就是亚穆纳河,与阿格拉堡遥遥相对. 从阿格堡远眺泰姬陵 (11月25日 438 PM)据说,当年沙·贾汗国王本原计划在河对面再为自己造一个一模一样的黑色陵墓,中间用半边白色、半边黑色的大理石桥连接,与爱妃相对而眠.但泰姬陵刚完工不久,其第三子奥朗则布(Aurangzeb)弑兄杀弟篡位成功,沙·贾汗国王本人也被囚禁在离泰姬陵不远的阿格拉堡的八角小楼内.此后整整8年的时间,沙·贾汗每天默默地坐在小楼中,只能透过小窗,,怀着无限的思念之情,凄然地遥望着泰姬陵,似乎在倾诉他那一颗孤寂哀伤的心.后来视力恶化,仅借着一颗宝石的折射,来观看泰姬陵,直至最终忧郁而死(病死).但有幸的是,沙·贾汗死后被合葬于泰姬陵内他的爱妃泰姬的身旁. 被囚禁八年的沙·贾汗就在这八角小楼远眺泰姬陵 (11月25日 509 PM) 我们较为仓促地浏览完阿格拉堡,此时夜幕也已经降临.从城堡出来,就有许多人力三轮车夫上来招揽,上海哥们提议,这交通工具还没坐过,还是体验一下吧.于是商议好价格,以每人15卢比到达泰姬陵南门.一路上这三轮车夫很奋力踩着车子,不时用裹在头上的围巾擦拭额头上的汗水.当骑行上坡时,他再也踩不动了,就下车拖拉,而我们也不忍再坐着,便下车步行.最后,若是坐TUTU可能15分钟就能到达的路程,我们却花了半个多小时. 夜幕下骑行的三轮车夫 (11月25日 541 PM) 到达阿格拉的第三天,我们和偶遇的两名台湾男生一行五人确定一早便坐LOCAL BUS赶往印度的首都------新德里.打整好背包就一起出门坐了一辆TUTU,告之了司机汽车站的名字(前一天去法塔赫布尔西格里的车站,曾询过去新德里的票价是150卢比.),并再三地与他确认.一刻钟后,他却带我们到了一个只有两辆客车的小车站,看似是属于那种私人的营运的客车.司机下车便和售票处的人嘀咕了几句,然后对我们说到了,我们没下车就质疑他不是这里,他解释说这里也可以坐车,而且车好车快等等.我们一问票价才知是250卢比,于是再次强烈要求司机重新带我们去原来说好的车站.司机无奈地上车,最后到车站又向我们索要多跑一个地方的车费,所有人都很无言,这坑爹的人居然还能提这要求,便递给他谈好的车费,头也不回地踏进车站,准备新的旅程. 阿格拉结束 下一站德里 印度第三站(中转站)印度的心脏------德里昆明杞子2011年11月26日傍晚,客车终于到达德里市区的汽车站。第一次到印度地名最为熟悉的城市,而且就是首都,难免有些激动。而作为印度之旅的中转站,第二次是从北印阿姆利则南下路过时做了短暂停留,第三次则是订了从德里飞往广州的机票,从果阿北上仅停留了一天。此次印度行程其中很重要的一个环节就是在尼泊尔时与印度穆斯林的朋友MUNNA相约27号在德里相见,因为我们受他邀约同去他在克什米尔的家乡作客。所以,我们一路计划着时间,于26号到达德里,准备第二天等他从加德满都飞抵德里时联系。华灯处上的首都,热闹非凡。我们跟着两个台湾男生(他们已经在德里住过几天)坐上TUTU驶向最近的地铁站。一路上,可爱的台湾男生向我们建议:德里城市较大,而且城市里有几处都值得去的古迹景点,交通还是地铁即方便又便宜,只要进地铁站办一张SMALL CARD,那市内的交通问就基本解决了,离开德里不需要时,再到窗口还卡,退走卡里的余额和卡费就搞定了。后来在几次来到德里的日子里SMALL CARD确实带来了很多便捷。进了地铁站,于窗口前交了100卢比(其中50卢比是卡费50卢比是充值)。便拿到了SMALL CARD。通过安检,来到站台前,春运的一幕又呈现在眼前,唉……印度人确实太TMD多了,尤其这里是首都德里。挤进车厢,继而换乘,最后在NEW DHILI站下车,出了地铁站,就是新德里火车站了,然后穿越过火车站,到它的另一侧,对面就是大多数外国人聚集的区域,我们在台湾男生的指引下就要住在这里的SPOT GUEST HOUSE旅馆。双人间和间都是400卢比一间,也就每人200卢比。 SPOT GUEST HOUSE的双人间 身后是卫生间 (11月26日 1044 PM)次日,没有市区的游览计划。因为一周以来,都在日以继夜的赶行程,是得好好休整一下,而更为重要的是下午MUNNA到德里后要第一时间联系上,商量去克什米尔的安排。下午,按我们约定的时间,联系上了MUNNA,他随后来到我们住的旅馆接我们,确定我们去克什米尔的人数,便帮忙订机票。只是他之前就订了第二天的机票才2000卢比左右,现在再订已经没有同班的票,只能订到后天的了,而且票价是3800卢比,但是为了这行程中的重点,我们商议后一致同意,最终确定了他28号飞走,而我29号飞,并再次约定他会在航班到达时来机场接我们。一切办妥之后,MUNNA便尽地主之谊带领我们开始游览德里市区的景点。坐上TUTU车几人来到了德里红堡下,可能是周日的原因,红堡外聚集了相当多的人群,进城堡还得排队。 周日红堡外喧闹的街道 (11月27日 351 PM) 德里红堡(简称:红堡,Red Fort, Lal Qil'ah、Lal Qila),自1639开始建造,耗费了近10年的时间才完成。它是莫卧儿帝国时期的皇宫,自沙.贾汗皇帝时代开始,莫卧儿首都自阿格拉迁址于此。红堡属于典型的莫卧尔风格的伊斯兰建筑,紧邻亚穆纳河,因整个建筑主体都是用红色砂岩所建,所以呈红褐色而得名红堡。 红堡有护城河环绕,四面环以厚重的围墙,气势非凡,在设计的同时兼顾到美学及战略因素。城堡内的建筑包括明珠清真寺、公众厅与私人厅以及专供皇帝使用的冉玛哈勒宫等。 德里红堡的城门(11月27日 403 PM)待续...... 注部分关于城市及景点的介绍摘抄于网络 .游记包含部分的攻略/行程还有一些值得记忆的点滴 .感谢结伴同行及还有一路给予过帮助的朋友 .若内容有些许偏差请予谅解 续: 几人走到城堡下的广场,里面的工作人员示意我们要进城堡得先到旁边购票,过去一问票价好像是200卢比,MUNNA便征求我们的意见。我个人认为,周日城堡里的人也肯定是超多的,而且从城堡外看也是红砂岩的建筑,和阿格拉堡可能类似吧,于是建议去市区其它地方再逛逛算了。 从红堡广场出来,我们双穿梭在拥挤的人街道上。MUNNA还不时地提醒我们注意好自己的东西,尤其是钱包,因为在这里,什么情况都会发生。步行一段后,我们在路边一个小摊前停下,小摊上有黄瓜有白萝卜还有胡萝卜,样子挺新鲜的,MUNNA便建议咱们尝试一下这萝卜。说实话,若是只有我们自己,是不会吃印度路边上卖的东西的。但他都敢吃了,我们也就体验一下喽。我挑了胡萝卜,就看到摊主拿起,用刀从中间剥开,撒上各种料(看不懂是些什么),再次合上递给我。一试,胡萝卜味不错,而中间那料应该是盐和MASALA(印度的一种香料 味挺重),反正吃起来怪怪的,不太习惯。路边摊上各种的萝卜 (11月27日 412 PM) 继续前行,扑面而来一股刺鼻且恶心的气味,前面步行的人也纷纷走下人行道,绕开前方这段区域,我们随之走过一看,靠!真够震憾,这就是闹市区里男士专用的卫生场所?”够气派”……红堡外的”公共卫生间” (11月27日 418 PM) 差不多步行了一个小左右,来到了德里最大的清真寺------贾玛清真寺。这里应该是MUNNA最熟悉的地方了,边走边和我们介绍这里的种种,可惜我们水平太差,大多都没听明白,我猜是有关伊斯兰教的信仰吧。后来了解到,伊斯兰教的发源地在阿拉伯,后来传入印度,成为印度的主要宗教之一。这个贾玛清真寺是全印度最大的清真寺(“贾玛”的意思是“大”),也是目前世界上最大的清真寺。这座清真寺高大而庄严,建筑在一座岩石小山的高台上,距离地面大约有9米,远远望去,三座弧形突起的白色圆顶和两支高耸的尖塔,在蓝天白云的衬托之下,雄伟壮丽。1857年民族大起义时,英国殖民军对起义的德里人民进行报复,曾封闭大清真寺达5年之久,甚至扬言要炸毁它,当德里人民交付20万卢比后,才得以回到穆斯林手中。每到礼拜日,特别是伊斯兰教的重大节日,穆斯林从四面八方来到这里朝拜,把清真寺门前挤得水泄不通,数以千计的头戴白色帽子的教徒,排列整齐,跪在地上虔诚祈祷,一望无际,蔚为壮观。 最大的清真寺------贾玛清真寺 (11月27日 449 PM) 离开清真寺,已到黄昏,我们在MUNNA的引领下,穿过几条喧哗的街道,来到一个小巷,两边全是餐馆,每个餐馆门口都琳琅满目地摆放着各类特色的招牌食品。而最吸引眼球的还是锅碗里的牛啊羊啊鸡啊的肉类,对于一星期以来,基本没沾过荤腥的我们,现在真是名副其实的垂涎欲滴啦。待续......续:MUNNA带我们进了一家生意爆好的清真馆,真可谓人满为患哦,已经没有了座位。服务员示意我们稍等就可以用餐,于是无聊的十多分钟后终于落座,坐东的MUNNA拿菜单点完菜后服务员就给我们上了印度版的可乐。而接下来却又是漫长的等待,尽管在尼泊尔时,我们已经习惯了他们的做饭效率,本想穆斯林们应该会麻利一些,可他们还是一样,若这样他们要做一顿中餐的话,吃客定会有生命危险的! 印度可乐的味道就像LOGO一样------真棒 (11月27日 515 PM) 等待中只能依靠这可乐来缓解饥饿和抵御口中分泌的唾液。菜品终于还是上来了,有牛肉鸡肉还有烤鱼哦,太棒啦!此时,在我眼内,MUNNA绝对是不折不扣的款爷,我们必须不遗余力地发挥吃货的精神用血雨腥风的方式完成这些桌上的美食来报答MUNNA。仅仅用了等待的十分之一的时间就基本完成的所有的肉类,甚至在餐间都差点忘了拍个照做纪念。接着服务员上了馕和炒牛肉末,我们跟着MUNNA的手法用馕把肉末卷起来一块吃,味道好极了。餐毕,我们总结了印度之行的餐饮精要:在印度教徒的餐馆除了咖喱还是咖喱,要想打牙祭,还得找穆斯林哪! 我们要把一周以来所缺的荤腥全都补回来了 (11月27日 522 PM) 饭后MUNNA又叫了TUTU车,带我们去印度门。 它是纪念二次大战中死亡的9万名印度士兵,类似凯旋门。夜晚的印度门广场灯火辉煌,也如同我们每个城市的人民广场一样,是所有市民饭后休闲的地方。而这周日,刚好有一海军乐队在印度门下举行汇演,整个广场的上空都回荡着他们的歌声。 夜灯上的印度门 (11月27日 652 PM) 这是在德里和MUNNA相聚的唯一一天。第二天,他将飞抵克什米尔,而我们就还有一天可以自行安排。 待续......续:次日早上起床,在旅馆外吃过OMELET(印度最常见的早餐 两片面包夹着加了许多调料的煎蛋),其他朋友都要接着休息不想出门,于是便照两位台湾男孩推荐的景点独自出发。坐上地铁驶向第一站阿克沙汉姆庙(Akshardham Temple),听说这座寺庙比较新,好像建于上世纪90年代,但整个建筑没有使用任何钢铁建材,由纯粹由红砂岩和大理石建造而成,融合了印度神话和北印度各派的建筑文化,有两万个栩栩如生的印度教神像,且分别错落有致,具有很强的立体感。一下地铁,在站口就询问工作人员,阿克沙汉姆庙该怎么去,不想他却告诉我,今天周一,那里是不开放的。我顿时无语,而后他看我有些不失望便又说,那离地铁站有点远,步行得半个多小时,一般都是坐出租车去的。想来想去以即耽误时间去外围看看那不如去下一景点算了,无奈又进了地铁站。地铁站内阿克沙汉姆庙的大型宣传图 (11月28日 1007 AM) 为了避免同样的杯具发生,回到地铁站便向工作人员询问我的下一景点库特布高塔是否开放,得到肯定的答复后,我上了回市区的地铁,后又转乘另一条线,最后在地图示的站点下车。库特布高塔是首都德里著名的城市地之一,还被称为“印度斯坦七大奇迹”之一。联合国教科文组织于1993年将其收入世界文化遗产名录。据说,公元1193年,由奴隶王朝第一个国王库特布̶6;乌德•丁开始修建,后由其继承人在十四世纪中叶最后完工。此塔建造目的,是象征胜利,故又称胜利塔。关于塔的起源,很多人相信建造此塔是为了象征当时穆斯林在印度的统治,但也融合了印度教与伊斯兰教的特色。 一柱擎天的库特布高塔 (11月28日 1145 AM) 出了地铁站,又坐上TUTU车,几分钟之后便到了库特布高塔大门。继而花了250卢比进入园内。在此之前,对这地方是完全陌生的,即使曾经听到过,但也从来没有记住过它。现在身入其境后,我不同自主地便被它的宏伟壮观所折服。当天晴空万里,没有一丝云彩。红砂岩所建成的高塔呈朱红色,一层层由粗到细地叠加,冲入云霄。抬头望去,它映在蔚蓝的天空中,显得格外壮丽。塔身雕刻着古老的文字图案,每一层的图案各异,据说是由不同国王所建,第四、五层因年久失修倒塌,再加上一次飞机事故,使原来的百米高塔,降到如今的高度(现塔高72。5米)。漫步园中,到处留有浓厚的伊斯兰教宗教文化遗迹,高塔与各类建筑以及园内四周的围墙上都布满有刻有伊斯兰文的砂岩。 园内围墙上雕刻有伊斯兰文的砖块(11月28日 1150 AM) 待续......续:游览一圈后出园,返回地铁站。就在这片区域附近还有莲花寺,它是一座风格别致的建筑,它既不同于印度教的庙宇,也不同于伊斯兰教的清真寺,甚至同印度其他比较大的教派的庙宇也无一点相像,它建成于1986年,是崇尚人类同源、世界同一的大同教的教庙。它高34。27米,底坐直径74米,全部采用白色大理石建造。莲花寺外貌酷似一朵盛开的莲花,故称莲花寺。这与印度的历史有一定关系,莲花在印度教和佛教派中被奉为神物,在当代印度人心目中又贵为国花,所以这座庙宇一建成就备受印度人的喜爱。地铁快到莲花寺站时,我从窗外就注意到莲花寺的那夺目的屋顶一扫而过(地铁这段是城市高架),接着地铁减速进站了,说明出站后不用再坐其他交通工具就可以到。出站时。包括我仅寥寥几人,想来这应该只是个偏远小站吧。 罕见得看不到人的德里地铁站------莲花寺 (11月28日 219 PM) 凭着感觉大致的方位,大约步行一刻钟便到了莲花寺的大门,看到的却是同样的大门紧闭,门口的提示牌也注明了周一不开放。此时真有些崩溃,但又有些不甘心,便走向大门,看到守卫就央求能否进门拍张照片就走,因为我明天就要离开德里了。他指着围栏上端的监控探头告诉我,他本人很愿意帮我,可无奈那监控不能让他犯错。怀着沮丧的心情,环绕寺外街道,看能否找到一个围栏内没有遮挡物的地方,好生拍个莲花寺全景,也算不虚此行了。可惜寺庙一圈走了近一个小时,都没有较好的视角,最后回到大门附近,看到一处寺内植物低矮的围栏柱子时,便一不做二不休,干脆跃身跳上柱子,以绝对的高度按下了快门。 跳到围栏上拍到的莲花寺 (11月28日 210 PM) 用不雅的方式获得一张照片后,也算稍稍弥补一下悲催的无奈。随后凝望手里的德里地图,看到国会一带有不错的建筑,心想既然到首都了,那里也该去走走的,至少大街道上不会封闭,严禁通过吧!还是搭乘地铁,出站后走几分钟就到这片区域。这里没有了川流不息的车辆,没有了熙熙攘攘的人群,也没有了尘土垃圾。这是我在北印过见最为清爽的地方,真的。 这让我想起<三傻大闹宝莱坞>里的街道(11月28日 302 PM) 待续...... 续: 漫步其中,终于感受到一些首都的气息,宁静祥和。街路上空无一人,与街道另一头的印度门市区形成极大的反差,甚至有一疑问都出现在脑海里:这块区域是不是对印度国民所禁止的,就像国内许多地方都有”闲杂人等 严禁入内”的警示。直到看到空旷的草地上有休闲的市民,这奇怪的问才得以消失。 国会大厦外休憩的市民与白鹭 (11月28日 308 PM) 四周都有持枪的警卫人员在站岗和巡逻,每隔几十米就有岗哨。从远处看个个英姿飒爽,”神圣不可侵犯”,而每当你走过他们身旁时,他们都会向你露出友善的笑容,示意欢迎您的到来。而你也会情不自禁地在他的感召下,回报一个微笑,或是一个半摇头(印度人民表示同意和赞同时是半摇一下头)。 八角亭下的哨卫 而街道的另一端就是印度门 (11月28日 324 PM) 这区域中有一块草地,可能是专供活动展出或是进行外事交流的吧。而就在这,当天可能有某个活动正要举行,停车场停满了各种电视台的信号车,还有各种记者有的举着相机拍照,有的扛着摄像机对着手拿话筒的讲解员。 身着盛装奔向活动会场的印度妇女(11月28日 328 PM) 待续......续:一天不停地走动,略显疲倦了,于是沿着街区走向另一个地铁站准备返回住地。一路上不断地感受着异国情调的人和事,的确,独自置身于印度,你能随心所欲地去留意那些你所感兴趣的一切东西。可能德里是人与动物间相处最为和谐的首都了吧 (11月28日 344 PM) 当然,也有对你感兴趣的当地人会和你搭讪,问东问西,甚至会要求和你合影,但我都婉言谢绝了。因为好多攻略有提过对于这事需要慎重,而我在泰姬陵时曾在一位印度父亲的请求下与他的儿子合影后,随后就有一群人围下来要求和你合影,搞得你真是有些不知所措。所以要杜绝这种事就要从一开始就婉拒它。 回旅馆途经的清真寺 (11月28日 359 PM) 最后搭乘地铁回到旅馆,做次日出发克什米尔的准备。29日清晨,我们再次背起行囊,来到新德里地铁站,乘坐直达机场的地铁专线。过了安检,我们想要确定我们的机票是在哪个航站楼应该在哪个站下车,机场专线它仅有五六个站点,而机场附近有三个吧,于是我们把电子票给入站口服务台的工作人员确认,他们似乎也不能肯定还叫来了主管,他仔细看后,告诉我们应该在机场前一站叫TEMINAL 3的地铁站下车,并又在电子票上用笔帮我们写下这个站名。当我们谢过刚要转身离开时,他们又提醒我们需要购买机场专线的车票,我们说有SMALL CARD时,他们微笑地告诉我们这卡不能在这专线使用,必须重新买,票价是60卢比。购票进入站台,就看到它随时都有一条非常崭新的地铁在候客,大约每隔一刻钟便出发一趟。 舒适快捷的机场地铁专线 (11月29日 739 AM) 又花了不到二十分钟的时间,我们就到站下车了。此时觉得,德里的这条专线非常靠谱,尽管德里城市非常大,交通非常糟糕,但到机场的时间却是最好控制的。 出了地铁站,这离TEMINAL 3航站楼是还有些距离,还得叫上一辆出租车才行(其实也不算出租车了,就像咱们国内跑私运的黑车),和我们相当熟悉的铃木面包车主谈好价后最后用了十分钟终于到了机场。待续......续:我们第一次到印度机场,预留的时间较多,到达时离登机还有一个多小时,也听说一进机场大厅就得检验你的证件和机票等等,若是你出来又要重新检查,所以要打发这些时间,进去之前,我们可以好好看看这里的四周。近些年,可能印度受到一些恐怖袭击的影响,印度政府对安保方面的工作真可谓做到严防死守,航站楼附近随处可见全副武装的戒备。 机场大厅外巡视的吉普 (11月29日 900 AM) 半小时后,经过门卫的检验后进入到了机场大厅,开始办理登机手续。这里只有国内的航班来往,可能也都是一些印度较小的航空公司在此运营,人流没有想象的那么大,很快便完成了托运等手续。最后,我们的航班准点登机起飞,飞往我们既期待又忐忑的克什米尔。 候机厅外我们即将乘坐飞往克什米尔的小飞机 (11月29日 953 AM) 第二次来到德里是12月5日晚9点从北印的阿姆利则,乘坐夜车大巴南下到德里,然后再确定去往南印的时间及方式,而且大巴是6日清晨7点到达。每个人都极为疲惫,必须在此停顿休整, 我们仍旧回到原来住的SPOT GUEST HOUSE,一进房间便倒下睡着了。醒来已到了晚饭时间,突然很是想念家乡的味道,于是取出寄存在总台的提包,拿出我们在尼泊尔就备好的所有食品及电热杯,重新尝试最值得回味的主食------方便面。 其实方便面都不是没有好吃的时候------就看是在何种情况下罢了(12月6日 645 PM) 待续......续:次日,我们计划时间要赶在圣诞节来临之前离开阿果的话,就得提前预订去往果阿的车票,因为一到圣诞节,果阿的食宿就将要翻几倍,那是我们很难承受的了,尽管那里节日的气氛十分的诱人。刚进车站,就有人上前搭讪,当得知我们的要求时,他带我们到了售票窗口,准备排队购票,可同伴觉得这个似乎是个售站台票的窗口,并不是我们要去的专门为外国人提供售票服务的地方。于是就重新四处寻找,最后,在那售站台票的窗口就有楼梯,上到二楼便看到很多欧美人聚集在这,这就是专门提供外国人车票的大厅。我们填好了购票申请表,依次顺着大厅四周的凳子不停地换座排队。终于到了我们,一经查询,这离圣诞还有半个多月的时间,去果阿的火车票却已经售完。无奈,只能先到孟买,再考虑到果阿的行程。 很多外国人在大厅内排起环形的队伍等待购票 (12月7日 1216 PM) 本想在德里可能就只有一次机会到机场坐飞机,因为我们计划南下后,也许会在果阿或是再往南的城市飞离印度,而这唯一的一次也没能到它的国际机场,还是有些遗憾。可真是计划没有变化快,当12月13日订了新德里飞往广州回国的机票后,我独自从果阿坐火车于15日再次到达德里,而这次就是在新德里国际机场出发了。 新德里国际机场的大厅外景 (12月16日 740 PM) 在即将离开之前,步入新德里的市井,购买一些较有特色的小礼物,吃了最后一顿印度午餐,虽然之前的一个月,它是如何地令我们头痛。回到旅馆后,整装打包,继而踏上机场专线的地铁。 在印度一人吃的最为“饕餮”的一餐 (12月16日 1255 PM) 待续......([]

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([]
(202 253 301 356 384 421楼加小视频)故事的开始应该从去年底和一对小夫妻去云南说起。三人到丽江后在当地报团,梅里四日行。此行交了很多新朋友,尤其是艾米和咋呼哥(这个外号我起的)很幸运的遇到他们俩,因为他们,我才第一次意识到,原来旅行可以一个人。因为我是多出来的单女,所以需要和其他团员拼屋。艾米---之后四天的室友。喜欢一个人有时候只是感觉,我和艾米很投缘。非要说原因的话,那就是她和我表姐感觉很像。在香格里拉的酒吧,在艾米和领队的谈话中,我第一次听到了雨崩。在我还没搞清楚雨崩到底是什么的情况下,已经和艾米相约,转年的六月底或七月初一起去雨崩。从云南回来,上网搜索,被那些有着耸动的帖子吸引,坚定了去雨崩的信念。登山鞋、登山杖、速干衣裤、背包、帽子、墨镜、雨衣.......对于我这个准备当初级驴友的人来说,需要装备的东西太多。接下来的几个月,我高兴的在网上买着。很多时候,理想和现实是不一样的。四月底,艾米告诉我,因为工作的一些原因,假期可能没有了,所以雨崩应该暂时无法去了。说好一起的,那就要一起啊!我是这么想的。既然这样,我就把下一个目的地提前--西藏(我答应过自己一定要去的地方)而雨崩--就这么成了旅行的备选线路。预定假期12天,在我生日前返回。这次的旅行,将是我送给自己奔三的礼物。买书、查路线、看相关信息,在我信心满满的时候,车票,这个我以为不是问的问出现了。假期已定,所以从出发日往回倒10天,我就必须买到车票。第一时间,票没刷出来。之后找了售票点的人,人家说车票都在旅行团手里。打电话到旅行社咨询,证实的售票点人员的说法。还是不死心,决定出发日前一天晚上刷票,如果11点前刷不出来,那就真的没戏了。6月5日,我从晚上8点多就守着电脑,隔几分钟刷新一遍网页,随着时间的推移,希望越来越渺茫。这时看到之前去梅里认识的领队在线,就和他抱怨起来。他说可以来雨崩,他正好带这条线。11点,没票。决定去雨崩。问他什么时候出发,他说9号。如果我要来的话,必须8号到丽江。我回答他"OK!"(后来才知道,他当时以为我是开玩笑的。)确定好目的地后,我开始计算行程和来回的日期,因为之前准备过,所以定行程并不困难。6月6日凌晨2点多,我网上买好了天津到昆明往返的机票。早上7点多,订好了丽江的客栈。下午3点去火车站买了昆明到丽江的车票。 6月6日晚上,在我定好一切后,通知了父母,明天的飞机。之前他们到是知道我要去西藏旅游,但具体细节不清楚。老爸很淡定,询问了一些细节,知道我都安排好后,只提醒我,女生单独出门,一定要注意安全。老妈很不淡定,睁着大眼看着我。她只关心一件事:我要一个人出门旅行。之前也和朋友去外地旅游过,但自己单独远行,这是第一次。别看我年纪不小,以前自己单独去外地,最远就北京。但现在我什么都订好了,她也无可奈何。我在她一晚上的白眼中,收拾着行李,她时不时的在我耳边叨叨,这么大事也不和我们商量一下。我承认这次旅行很突然,朋友们看到微博都很吃惊。有人问我怎么不等等她,过几个月一起旅行多好啊。可我不想等,等来等去,我也许哪里都去不了了。奔三了,做些自己从来没做过的事。既然别人可以一个人旅行,那我也可以!6月7日凌晨,行李收拾完毕。睡觉!CA1401天津---昆明 1545--1910老爸送我去机场。在路上他问我,晚上几点的火车。我说:“10点28,中间有三个小时的时间,除去进出机场火车站,还有2个小时,可以附近转转买点吃的。”“飞机晚点怎么办?”老爸突然冒出一句。“额......周围有大巴,也可以到丽江。”“晚上做大巴危险,你最好白天坐。”“那我晚上在那边也没事啊,你别乌鸦嘴,给我念点好行不行啊。”“我只是提醒你,各种可能会发生的事。”“我知道,所以我查了,周围有大巴。赶不上火车,就坐大巴。”下午两点多,我前脚刚踏进机场大厅,就收到航班晚点的短信。晕,我还哪都没去了,不会就这么不顺吧。飞机预计晚点一个小时,在询问了两个工作人员后,信息得到确认,算算时间,应该还来得及。托运完行李,过了安检,在候机大厅只能干等着了,好在机场有WIFI,刷刷微博打发一下时间。 6月7日1640飞机准备起飞从决定去云南到飞机起飞共计42个小时。出发的时候,天津阴天。云层上面却是另一番景象。这次的旅行,跟第一天飞机起飞后的天空一样。云层上面晴空万里,却在飞到云南境内乌云密布。飞机飞进云层、周围电闪雷鸣,除了黑压压的云雾什么也看不到,飞机不停的颠簸。但最后,飞机还是破空而出,云层外面豁然开朗。大约晚上8点左右,飞机开始广播,因为有气流的关系,没听清广播里说的什么。但隐约听到英文的840。这时前座的乘客拦下路过的空姐,询问到港时间。“940”空姐和蔼可亲的说。940!940!!!!!! 我当时汗都下来了。我1028的火车,还要等托运的行李,完了,完了,铁定赶不上火车。老爸的话看来要成真了。我是找旅店休息一晚,白天再坐大巴,还是直接坐大巴走呢?我心里盘算着。“不对啊,不是飞三个多小时吗?怎么9点多到呢?”另一个乘客问。“哦,840,我说错了,不好意思。”空姐温柔的说。呼.........我长出一口气。出机场打车到火车站也就十几分钟,如果时间不够就上车再找吃的。845飞机降落昆明机场 在传送带边焦急的等着行李,没等太久就看到我的大包,我背上背包就往外走。因为之前来过一次,所以直奔打车的地方排队。上车后司机主动和我聊天,也许因为第一次自己出来旅游,我兴奋的和他聊着。司机师傅人不错,在知道我是一个人后,好心的提醒我,要注意安全。如果有人拉生意,就说自己在等当地的朋友。在火车站附近的小摊买东西,一定要先谈好价钱,尽量使用零钱。如果没有零钱,注意找回来的钱,别有假币。遇到什么事,打电话报警,110很快就来,别忘了昆明的区号0871。看看表,时间还够,询问司机火车站周围哪家米线不错。司机推荐老滇,并开车到那里。我一只脚刚踏出车门,餐厅的卷帘门“唰”的就拉下来。额.........人家关门啦!好在司机并没有丢下我立刻走人,给我指明了去火车站的路。其实不远,只要我走到路口,就能看到车站,大概3个红绿灯的距离。步行10分钟,到达昆明站广场。 火车站楼下到是有几家餐厅。建新园,这地方查资料时有看过,晚饭就这了。点了一碗过桥米线,开心的吃了起来。可说实话,真的不咋地,米线汤除了重重的胡椒粉味道,其他真喝不出来。失望,吃了几口就吃不下了。 进站时查的还挺严,要扫描身份证核对信息,并在车票上盖章。坐上火车,终于踏实了!给老爹老娘发信息报平安,一切顺利!车开动,刷微博汇报情况,对朋友们关心的留言一一回复。折腾一天,我也累了,虽然眼皮打架,但睡不着。闭着眼想着自己一个人从天津到了2200公里外的昆明,明天一早就到丽江了。兴奋,激动!淡定,淡定........我对自己说。明天还有一天的行程,现在需要睡觉!好吧,什么也别想了!晚安,昆明没有太好的文笔,只是一篇流水账。没有单反,只是一台家用机,记录点滴。更新小慢,各位看官不要着急!6月8日 早上6点多就醒了,第一件事就是看手机刷微博。(表姐说了,随时关注我的微薄,超过一天不更新,她就报警。)手机没信号!!NO!!!!是不是机子坏了?一个人在外,手机没法用那就惨了。关机、拆卡、装卡、重启...........反复几遍后,一种不安全感向我袭来。 确定还是没信号后,我拿着手机放空!!“怎么要过这么多隧道啊,我手机都没信号了。”一个来自东北的大爷对他老伴说着。我突然被点醒,这才回神看向窗外,果然一直在过隧道。在窗外的风景连续的出现后,拿起手机,呼~~~~~有信号。0648拍照,发微博。新浪微博定位:云南省 大理白族自治州 鹤庆县 221省道车上的乘客陆陆续续的起床。睡在我上面中上铺的是刚才对话的东北夫妇,睡在我对面中上铺的两个女生来自广东。五个人开始聊天。东北的老夫妇退休后,除了有时给女儿看孩子,其他没事的时候俩人就到处旅游。他们喜欢爬山、徒步,瞄了一眼俩人的装备,貌似专业驴友!!从对话中我发现,上网查资料做功课的,应该是那位阿姨。夫妇俩打算先在丽江待一周,周边都游过之后再研究接下来去哪。看着他们,感觉真好,心想,如果找老公,一定要找一个能带着我到处旅游的。广东的那对女生,是利用假期来的,时间很短,今天到丽江明天就得走。我推荐她们可以到古城后找个旅行社,来个一日游什么的。730在我们的闲聊中,火车进站,挥手和他们告别。出站后,买了15号晚上返回昆明的火车票。车站广场直行,有公交。右手边的空地有几个人合租的小面包车,再往前是出租车停靠的位置。前胸后背各一个背包,实在不想挤公交,决定奢侈一下,打车走。打车到丽江古镇(大研古镇),大概十几二十分钟,30元。(貌似贵了,我记得上次好像不到20)司机说我这个时间段来不错,在过些日子游客就要多了。古城广场下车,虽然之前来过一次,但一时间还是有点找不着北。环顾一周,啊~~~~~~开封菜(KFC)哈哈哈哈,我知道怎么走了!!!!6月8日 0822早安丽江,我回来了!!!这是之前看丽江的城市宣传片时,片尾的一句话。看后老有感觉了,我告诉自己,如果再到丽江,我一定要对它说:“早安丽江,我回来了!”我是念旧的人,早饭点了去年第一天到丽江时吃的红油抄手。给早餐拍了一张照,上传朋友看后立刻回复,说猜到我会吃这个。去年花30还是40来着,在这里挂了一对许愿牌,拍个照,不知道我的牌子还在不在。可仔细看过之后,发现和去年的数量差不多。小道消息说,这个是要定期要取下来一部分的。我去!早知道不花钱挂了。来之前艾米推荐了高客,但我最后还是订了假期。理由很简单,我是路痴。假期客栈在四方街附近, 从地图上看,在一条大直线上,应该比较好找。9点多,顺利找到客栈。客栈阿姨人挺热情的,但住宿条件一般,没差啦,有地方住一晚就好。整理了行李,洗漱一番,拿着相机和地图出门。在古城漫无目的的逛着。“天雨流芳”好好听的名字。我属狗,所以喜欢狗。看到有狗,就走过去逗它。别看它个头不小,但哼哼起来,像小女生在撒娇。旁边护院的两只狼狗,全都睡着了。楼上传来年轻男女们的歌声,藏文的,没听过。歌声很动听,于是我在路边坐下。听着歌,逗着狗,刷着微博。我现在的状态,应该就是书里所说的“丽江慢生活”吧。听了4、5首歌后,在一曲《青藏高原》中起身离开。如果他们继续唱我没听过的歌,我想我应该会坐的更久。给自己来张自拍,别问我这是哪,我真心的表示我不知道。不知道自己走到了哪里,只是周围的人越来越少,直到发现周围一个人都没有,只有自己。心里有点小害怕,努力寻找周围明显的建筑物,与手里的地图对照着。自拍一张,通过微博告诉大家,我不负众望的迷路了!路痴生存的方式:找人多的路走。终于走到一条热闹的街道,往左看,官门口!我刚才是拐进去的啊,现在怎么站在门口?哎,不管了,好歹现在知道怎么走了。看看时间,该吃午饭了。前行不远就是小吃一条街。我被老板娘的吆喝吸引“云南十八怪,豆腐包着豆浆卖”花10元买了一份煎豆腐,一瓶牦牛酸奶回客栈。回到客栈看到阿姨做了一桌子菜,房客们围坐着吃饭。嘿..........早知道就回来吃了。阿姨好心的招呼我过来一起坐,可吃的都买了,总不能浪费吧。谢过阿姨的好意,坐在旁边的小桌吃着。席间大家互相讨论各自的行程,虽然不知道彼此的名字,但话语间就像多年的老朋友。和陌生人谈笑风生,却如此自在,这感觉真奇怪。 上次来,没去到黑龙潭,所以下午准备去那里。路过广场,看到一群大爷大妈边唱边跳,询问之下才知道这叫纳西打跳。坐在路边的长凳上,边欣赏边照相。衣服很特别,披星戴月?应该是这么说的吧。 人与人的缘分有时真的很有趣。旅行回来后,看到大哥的相册里也有这组照片。询问是不是8号下午130左右拍的,大哥查了图片的属性,结果时间一致。而且大哥竟然在唯一保留的视频中看到了我身影。可惜我的照片,没照到大哥和小欧。([]
