今年完成了我一个很大的愿望,登顶了马纳斯鲁,但也留下一个小小的遗憾,本计划登完山后去徒步EBC,尼泊尔最有名的徒步线路之一,但10月份却因为登山周期太长,不得不结束就赶紧回京。。。而我是一个开始计划就无法停止的人,难怪朋友喜欢说俺变态,兔子承认就是,人生不有些小小变态,那该多无趣~~~对于我这个近两年都在雪山丛中行走的人来说,看雪山真的没有什么吸引力,此次之行必须有其他的名目,才能让我在回到北京才一个半月后又重返尼泊尔~~那就是我的无敌兔兔~~~自从马纳斯鲁回来后,我对摄影开始着迷,突然发现登山除了埋头苦走外,一定不要忘了用眼用心去搜寻和享受途中的一风一景,把这种感受带回来珍藏,且与大家共享。这才是登山的最高最美境界~~当然,是在你力所能及的范围内。这次的行程安排很简单,很休闲,我的摄影装备就成了主角,一个无敌兔+一个1635镜头,外加朋友专门为我带来的28300镜头。。真的是重磅出击(光28300就有4斤重),不知道我这个新手能拍出满意的片片没,不管结果怎样,我都很享受这次徒步~~除了学会单反的基本使用,更主要是为以后登山适应了背相机,真希望下次我能用广角拍下登顶时的照片~~这次尼泊尔之行最完美的是,我带回来了两个8000米山峰的夏尔巴攀登纪实,一个是安纳普尔纳,一个是干城章嘉,都是难度极高的雪山,摄主是今年刚完成的14座雪山:明玛。。在发到安纳普尔纳日出那会儿,我会把从马纳斯鲁拍到的安纳普尔纳,和这次拍到的,及视频里攀登截屏全部放一起比较,让大家从全方位了解安纳普尔纳这个世界高难度的8000米雪山,为什么她如此大的魅力~~~~~~~~~!! 徒步基本线路:D1. 11月30号,飞机到达昆明,与山友聚会。D2,12月1日,早9点50飞机,尼泊尔时间10点到达加德满都,午餐后返回机场2点小飞机直接飞往博卡拉,半个小时,机票98美金一人。住博卡拉D3,12月2日,早8点15,坐车到NAYAPUL,一个半小时到达,10点开始徒步,4点到达GHANDRUK,海拔1900,入住安纳普尔纳hotel,间200尼币D4, 12月3日,8点出发,1点半到达CHOMRONG,海拔2170米D5, 12月4日,8点出发,1点到达BAMBOO午餐,3点到达目的地DOBAN,2580米D6, 12月5日,8点出发,2点半到MBC大本营,拍照。D7, 12月6日,4点半出发,前往ABC大本营,拍照,返回到MBC,下撤到BAMBOO,住下D8, 12月7日,8点出发,下撤到~~~(啊,我忘了是哪个地名了,找了再说吧)。D9, 12月8日,下撤到NAYAPUL,直接坐车回到博卡拉。D10, 12月9日, 博卡拉玩一天D11, 12月10日,博卡拉坐大巴到加都,入住加都。徒步结束啦~~~从机场出发,谢谢胖胖相送~~熊哥说咱这是去走秀,嘿嘿,真不想每天都是一身徒步装,灰突突的,偶尔得瑟得瑟也是性情中人嘛~~昆明,我的山友们,从左往右:飞鹰,阿汤哥(胖子),白天,婷婷,张京川,漆伟左边四位(包括我)相识在6000米的雀儿山~~~然后是我,婷婷,漆伟属于我们的7000宁金抗沙~~~最近的是我,婷婷,张京川我们三个的8000米马纳斯鲁,~~~我们都有缘相识相伴在雪山,以后还会继续我们的雪山梦~~~胖子阿汤哥说: 抱着两位8000米的美女,感觉就是不一样啊。。。祝贺明年的7000顺利。在博卡拉,入住的花园式客栈,好漂亮哦。。。博卡拉很多这样的客栈的,下次还会来博卡拉好好玩几天,这儿比加都值得多逗留几日。飞机上的航拍,像一群可爱城堡里的居民们在欢迎我们的到来~~在博卡拉客栈里试拍,这是咱第一次带无敌兔兔出国拍风景,一定要好好学习!!在博卡拉街头闲逛,乱拍~~~他们的建筑总是让我很喜欢。。。在这个时候,我看到他们的校车。。。我没办法不愤青~~~尽管尼泊尔很贫穷,可,他们的孩子很幸福,很安全!!!从博卡拉去往NAYAPUL的路上,从车内抓拍的鱼尾峰,一路上,我们都跟着他,似乎就是为他而来的,安纳普尔纳反而成了配角第一次向导问我是否看出来山顶盘踞的虎,我看了好久也没看出来,后来看出来后,每次一看鱼尾峰,就只看到一只虎。。。呵呵再将回程时拍到的鱼尾峰一同发出来比较下,差距真的挺大的~~~为什么摄友们总喜欢多次跑一个地方,就为了不同时期的风景途中又是小美女,呵呵。。。和上次马纳斯鲁的美女有的一拼呢。开始徒步。。好熟悉的景儿啊,和马纳斯鲁徒步途中的感觉差不多 这儿,原来真的是世外桃源~~~背包是Lafuma,它是十一郎收藏的一款背包,因我只有28升冲顶包和60升的大包,我说我能60升背包加上拉杆箱出来吗?。。。哈哈,狼哥怕咱丢人真拉拉杆箱出来,将悉心收藏的此款背包借与我,应该市场上很难找到吧~~~~北京已经是寒冷的冬天,而这儿却是秋风拂过稻花香~~~途中遇到这个小孩,很欢快的跟在我们身后,唱着歌,我回身相机对着他的时候,他就会背手,立正,站定很拘谨的看着我,步子也不敢迈了~~跟随我们到了一个休息的客栈,我们再喝茶,他远远那么看着我们,复杂的表情不知道什么内容经过一片梯田,不知道地里种的是什么,喜欢这种安静祥和的感觉~~~是麦子呢?还是稻花捏?哈哈~~这样的台阶被无数人行走,踩踏,也见证了无数行者各方姿态,笑容,和身影~~我们,也曾来过~休息时,也不能关掉手里的相机,我要练习,我要升级,我要~~~变成拍照达人!!!2号一早8点15坐车到NAYAPUL,用时1个半小时,10点开始徒步。晚4点到达住宿地GHANDRUK,1900米,入住宾馆安纳普尔纳,间200尼币一间。。。今天历时6小时,很慢。天气不错,很热,穿短袖,速干即可。(可惜我以为会较冷,只带了一件长袖速干,没的换了)。。。一天多数是石板台阶,很简单,注意看指示不会迷路。途中买一次饮料150尼币一瓶,较贵。一路上都有手机信号,可以打电话,发微博,只是发不了照片。。。。入住客栈时天气阴了,对面的山一点都看不到,拍到门口草坪上几个小孩在踢球玩这张是我用手机拍到的门前小花,很喜欢~~3号,徒步第二天,早8点出发,只1点半就到了目的地Chomrong,2170米,(看介绍说要7个小时,夸张了点吧,我们走的实在很慢)路上除了刚出来的石板台阶路,就是一个大下降和上升,天气有些阴,没怎么拍照,所以走的比较快点,说快其实相比较昨天而已。。。很长时间在喝茶看书听歌,拍照。。。晚上入住鱼尾峰客栈。晚餐披萨,见到不少韩国中年女人,还有几个澳大利亚的,人还不少呢。。要是再旺季,估计地方不好找。泡在漂亮的客栈,好好享受这段时光吧,在这个时刻,任何纠结,不开心都只是浮云~~都市里忙碌的奔波,地铁里的人头攒动,马路上车笛乱鸣,拥堵的车流~~~那些对这儿的人们来说,根本就是天方夜谭~~~这俩老外就是穿着红色冲锋衣坐桌子边的那俩。。。性格很奇特,怪异,也很友好沿途这样的客栈很多,都很亮丽,在这儿徒步真的是一种享受,也是它们总让我停下来拍半天~~他们很爱生活,就像这些花儿一样~~喜欢一路被鲜花簇拥着的感觉,它们很香的哦~~经过这个空旷简陋的排球场地,想象着孩子们开心的场景,其实很多东西都是表面的,来自心底的感觉和心情有时候不需要那些华丽的装饰~~~就像徒步,远离喧哗,绚烂,浮躁。。。享受最真实的自己。简单,幸福!~我喜欢登山和徒步,她让我更加懂得生活,懂得爱生活~~今天天气有些阴暗,走的兴趣索然,正觉得有些疲累的时候,看到这个客栈,云里雾里,就和童话世界一般,我们像打了鸡血般,停下来狂吸了了一阵带水蒸气的空气~~~尽管今天不是大晴天,但一路上的风景别有一番滋味,尤其当你在一片迷雾当中,看到透过云层写下来的一道蓝光,那种兴奋,鸡冻。。。是别的店里买不到的~~~我已等待千年,城门为何还不开~~~([]

[ ]9、16晚六点半青岛准时出发北京徒步长城,这是几年来第一次如此准时出行,感谢童鞋们。在天津和黄骅之间,大雨瓢泼而至,再加北屿短信告之北京大雨,心骤然又不安起来,虽说之前看密云晴天,但现在对天气预报着实不敢抱太大希望,只能想没雨就好。一路雨中行至北京,五环接上娜娜。行至密云,路边一点雨的迹象也没有,大喜。17早七点半从古北口上山,沿长城蜿蜒行走。且行且拍,队伍慢慢一点点拉开,据说走在前面的是小报记者,走在后面的是摄影师一路慢慢走来,在金山岭长城内沐浴阳光梦回明朝等落日也是很开心的一件事、、、、、、、18日清早三点半起床四点农家出发,四点十分进检票处,一路急行军四点半到达后川口上到敌楼上,开始夜爬长城。司马台景区于2010年六月因景区修整关闭,而我们要去的望京楼就在司马台景区内,大家不远千里来到长城上,望京楼也是一个必须要去的地方之一,集体决定后要夜爬长城就为了避开景区保安,及至到了司马台景区内因长城内地面以修复,逐开始了跑城。一路小跑过了铁索桥,经东坡村八点十分上到望京楼和仙女楼。中午十二点离开密云,天津晚饭顺便逛了意式风情街并观看天津夜景。于零晨四点抵青,至此结束长城徒步开心而快乐的旅程。以流水帐记录全程,后续期待油国佳文有片片的童鞋全程砸过来,分享开心快乐之旅第一张是从古北口到金山岭的线路图,全程17公里用时10小时,其中行走才用了五小时多点,其余时间不是在拍照就是在休息,很惬意呢。因第二天的数据丢失没有详细的记录,只能用景区线路图来做个大概说明,走涵龙沟经丫髻山寨、花楼、东五眼楼、麒麟壁、文字长城、过温泉水库经东坡村直达望京楼,大约也有十公里左右。 野长城游记去穿越古北口、金山岭、司马台三段长城是很早之前就定下来的,为此兴奋了好久,耳畔一直回响着张明敏的《我的中国心》这首歌:“长江、长城,黄山、黄河,在我心中重千斤,无论何时,无论何地,心中一样亲。留在心里的血,澎湃着中华的声音...... ”一直盼着这一天的到来。之前出去玩,心情总是非常的愉悦,而这次长城之行心里却觉着沉甸甸的,可能是长城在我心里过于神圣,就像是朝拜一样吧。作为中年人,在面对这些历史古迹的时候,感触与年轻人会有所不同,可能会更深一些的。车在漆黑的高速公路上飞驰,我的思绪早已飞到了长城之巅。夜很深了,车厢里早已没有了年轻人的嬉闹声,进入河北境内,下起了雨,且越下越紧,进入耳畔的只有雨声和发动机的低鸣,秋雨打在车窗上,就像打在我的心头,一丝寒意袭来,不禁打了个寒战。这是怎么了?我渴望了解历史,我离着历史越来越近。长城,我来了。登上长城,残缺破败的残墙断壁映入眼帘,心中不免平添了一丝苍凉之感,但它雄伟依然,尽显残缺之美,抑制不住激动的我频频按下快门,始终冲在队伍的最前头。以前我来过长城,但那是修复过的慕田峪长城,心里涌现的只有感叹和自豪,而这次站在未修复的明长城上,头一次与古代遗迹有了一种心灵的碰撞,我能读懂你吗?我觉得长城与圆明园不一样,虽然都是历史遗迹,虽然都已破败,但长城体现的是古老中国的强大和不可战胜,而圆明园则寓意着中国的耻辱。一个从强大到衰败的中国历史就这么浮现出来。我不是搞历史的,我只是历史长河中的一个过客。我也是一个爱国者,我为我的祖先感到骄傲。今天来到这,除了震撼,我只能用我的思维去了解它,解读它;用我的双脚去丈量它,接触它;用我的心灵去抚摸它,亲吻它。 长城从嘉峪关而来,向山海关而去,绵延近万里; 长城从历史而来,向未来而去,历经几千年; 长城从儿时父母的故事而来,也必将在我们的子孙中传唱下去,世世代代,永不停息。 在古代,长城用它坚强挺拔的身躯抵挡外来列强的入侵;在现在,长城用它苍老破败但依旧雄伟的容貌迎接中外慕名而来的游客;到未来,长城必将成为中华民族的象征,中华儿女的中华魂。而此时的长城则像一位老者,静静地安卧在那里,向人们讲述着中华民族的兴衰荣辱,讲述着它所目睹的历史故事,讲述着它曾经的辉煌,从没停止过...... QD胡司令古长城有感 2011、9、20 古北口二十四眼楼 感谢8264感谢欧格翠 偶也来凑个热闹吧这是第二次走长城了,去年的九一八清晨五点半我和花花还有绿海坐在北京西站边的肯德基看着窗外未明的天及飘忽而至的大雨,商议着还要不要去箭扣,最后决定先去逛京城再去箭扣。也就是那次有幸在箭扣长城上看到了云海,看到残破而峻美挺拔的古长城(https//bbs.8264.com/thread-513143-1-1.html)心生感慨:明年现来一次。没成想因中秋节的原因日期延后的结果是和去年箭扣仅相差一天,呵呵,偶声明,真不是故意的。闲话少叙,图归正传,因这次活动有不少都是提前预留出本次活动时间,故而回来后都很忙,片片都没时间发,偶先发几张,小卡片成相效果差,勉强看吧。敬业的摄影师,据说假牙也露出来,唉,我真不是故意把嫩拍成这样滴我起誓:绝不破坏长城的一草一木,做到除了脚印什么也不带走 我们的队伍向着长城的方向前进,在这里你可以放飞心情,踏着脚下的明砖一步一个历史的向前走、、、、、偶来几张险滴,其实顺长城再往前走一个敌楼的位置,有个可以上长城的地方,当时不知顺城墙爬上来的,还好有惊无险每个人都安全上来了 那天出其的好,天很蓝,白云大朵大朵的漂浮在空中静止不动,如同块块棉花糖通过箭口望去,长城如同一条巨龙静静的卧在那里,诉说着几百年的沧桑 来几朵棉花糖 这就是金山岭长城中的障墙以下片片全部由胡司令所拍,版权归司令所有在这个收获的季节,一地金灿灿的玉米,成为成王爷穿越前掠夺的粮食在阳光下 在曲折蜿蜒、错综纵横的千山万水间, 那一座一座的列城,屏障和烽堠使你长城内外的子子孙孙 统一成了 一个在世界上独一无二的伟大民族! 秦皇无策建长城,刘氏仍穷北路兵。若遇单于旧牙帐,却应伤叹汉公卿。 无名小花静静绽放在长城角下,同日月星辰见证长城风雨天津意式风情街头上的工艺品,让我们这群刚从时空穿越而的人有一丝的不适应([]

我像大多数少年一样,也偷骑过家里的摩托车,后来被母亲发现,因为担心我的安全,才不得已将车子转让。 我一直认为母亲骨子里的闯劲要强于我,我后来的坚持行走和母亲对我精神上的影响密不可分。母亲上了年纪以后,更萌生了一些闯荡的想法,比如徒步西藏。她想了,便开始准备,之后的半个月中,她两次徒步往返30公里以外的外婆家。我看她认准了要做这事,于是积极帮她准备户外旅行用品。她也将我中学骑过的自行车翻出来维修保养,骑行锻炼。 外婆和母亲的妹妹说母亲疯了,反对她的一意孤行。而继父也不愿意和母亲结伴同行,导致家庭气氛一度乌云笼罩。母亲很难过,我更替母亲难过,一个人想实现自己的理想,要遭受如此多的阻力。 母亲很喜欢我的那些摩托车,我骑过的她都很喜欢。她不会上网,就用手机拍下这些车子的照片存着一个人的时候默默地看。她最喜欢我的BMW 650GS Dakar,她总和别人形容,我儿子骑宝马,那个车子如何如何威猛。 我这几年的行走,大多是自私的痛快,钱够生活了,就偷溜出去透气。2012年春,有了我和雨的蜜月骑行之旅,我深刻意识到,旅行是快乐的,而家人应该分享这种快乐。2012年12月21日,传说中的世界末日,不去管它真或者假,我只想带上生命中最重要的两个女人雨和母亲一起旅行,无论生死,在一起就好,在路上就好,圆梦就好。 感谢潘修环先生,让我的梦想有机会成为现实。https//www.whtv.com.cn/whtv_dslm/tv1/b/z/201209/t20120919_321202.shtml关于随菠逐雨的一则采访 从北京八一制片厂录制湖北卫视的综艺节目归来,开始出发前的准备。这个环节就像上班时的例会,要说的、做的还是那几件事,但却又非说非做不可。 我接手的是一台嘉陵的企业展示车。这台车平时是用来做企业文化宣传、展示、路演的,后来要卖,但武汉车友无人问津,所以被搁置在嘉陵仓库里落了厚厚一层灰。车子实际里程数非常少,而且性能调校很不错,只是外观有几处磕碰,局部保养不周有些起锈。 以一台JH600A的价格获得了这台JH600B,我觉得还是值得的。我准备把它稍事打扮,随我、小雨和家母去远行。接手这台车属于权宜之计,因为母亲的首次长途旅行,我不想让她骑行;而一年两次长途骑行,对于雨的身体消耗又实在很大,思索再三,我决定选择JH600B作为此次旅行的座驾,我们一家三口同乘一部车子,有说有笑、其乐融融,想必也是非常美好的。 接手JH600B之前有些担心行李空间不足,等真正见到它时,所有的担心就烟消云散了。JH600B座椅后部的行李空间实在很大,放一个人进去都并非难事。 今天把车辆送去兄弟的专业汽车美容店进行外观保养,并在边斗中铺设汽车使用的地胶,隔音,耐磨。同时网购了GPS电源插口改装件以及3条全新轮胎,等这些配件到后,再做整车的保养(包括机油、机滤、冷却液更换;链条、牙盘维护;更换进口电瓶等)。八一制片厂内,和节目中的4位“妻子”合影。“人生是如此的辉煌,生命是如此的精彩”,和延参法师聊生活、聊机车、聊女人产生要带母亲一起去旅行的想法源自她的一条短信。 2012年8月20日今天感觉好多了!记得平生还是第一次感冒、发烧,病得如此重。连续三天高烧39°,还好昨天早上体温降到37.7°,今天体温终于正常了。我的身体一直都挺好,不太容易感冒更不会发烧,这次的情况可能是因为年纪大了吧。人要是患了病就像垒不起的一滩烂泥,眼睛都不愿睁更别谈想做事了,就连想想都觉得难,咳,什么也干不了。哈!现在好多了真的要好好想想我要做的事:我想把徒步西藏计划提前一步,在明年开春我生日那天出发(4月3日),是否对生命存在的思索有更深层的意义?不知老伴是否也愿意陪伴我一起同行,如果不愿意我也不会怪他,我能想象的到这么久的路程要走到何时,路上有多少艰辛和困难在等着。还有很多想象不到的难,谁也无法预料这么久的路程都会发生些什么,到那时都必须要去面对。所以老伴愿意陪伴是求之不得,皆大欢喜;不愿意也是情理之中,那么就有我自己去挑战,我是不会给自己打退堂鼓的。儿子,替我多多谢谢那些关注和关心我的圈里人,我不会让他们失望更不会让自己失望。还有一段时间我可以做些准备,这是我给予自己的一次最高峰的生命之旅。 母亲这条短信深深感动了我。她病得最重的时候没有告诉我,而自己抗过了痛苦把迎接希望的信心带给了我。她是一个经历过太多磨难但仍然有梦想的人,她在实现梦想的过程中阻力重重,而我要做的就是帮她克服这些困难,勇敢去追求梦想。今年初的东南亚之旅,使用了米雅贡嘎的大型防水袋,感觉防水效果和扩展容量都非常满意。所以在淘宝上又购置了两只,满足我、母亲、小雨的随身物品存放。国内可以买到的女款摩托车车服实在不多,几经周折才找到MOTO-GIRL品牌的女款车服两件。粉色小雨,黑色母亲。同款异色,两人搭配起来应该非常好看。 经过《户外探险》杂志的介绍,今年3月我开始与专业户外品牌kailas进行合作。2012年东南亚蜜月之旅,KAILAS提供给我和小雨宿营装备(帐篷、睡袋)以及户外情侣装、软甲冲锋衣等产品进行试用。KAILAS的VIVI小姐亲自为我和小雨挑选每一件情侣装,用她的话说,她觉得自己在为我们挑选嫁妆。让我非常感动。 这次为母亲圆梦的长途骑行活动,再度受到KAILAS的支持,VIVI小姐为我、小雨、母亲准备了一箱户外装备,今天快递到家中。 我不是高帅富,我是穷屌丝。KAILAS的产品我是消费不起的,但我却有幸能用得上这样专业、时尚的户外产品。感谢KAILAS的慷慨,感谢VIVI的体贴,感谢所有朋友的支持。世界末日,我为大家祈福。 武汉武昌有一条又窄又乱的巷子,里面隐着三位“技术型宅男”。一位是进口车维修技艺高超,拆各色发动机如探囊取物的聂权聂师傅;一位是弯管焊接,制作的护杠媲美进口原装的二伟师傅;还有一位精通KTM,刷电脑搞改装,拥有完美KTM 990SMT的胡炯胡师傅。我车子碰到的大部分问都会找这三位“技术型宅男”解决。 这次也不例外。JH600B就在这条又窄又乱的巷子获得新生。 新款的JH600B应该表头位置已经安装了车载电源插头,我这款还是需要自己动手改装。这次出行使用的GPS仍然是服役了3年的Garmin 400T。 上午电话给嘉陵武汉的负责人,得知发票和合格证刚刚办好,应该下午会发快递给我,这样看来,上牌照至少要推迟到下周一(17日)了。 武汉市区目前摩托车牌照无法办理,只能考虑武汉郊区。近郊纸坊区只接受本区居民办理车辆上户。下午把小雨的身份证变更到武汉郊区,临时身份证也要周二下午(18日)才可以拿到。 嘉陵JH600B的轮胎是建大轮胎专供,三轮可以互换,型号是4.10-18 75P,与普通2轮摩托车的轮胎不通用。淘宝上的价格接近400元一条。米其林、普利司通、倍耐力都没有同型号侉子适用轮胎,说明嘉陵600B与建大轮胎是战略性合作,国产品牌的强强联手。 更换全新的4.10-18 75P绝对是个体力+技术活。“技术宅男“聂权聂师傅歇了三口气,抽了4根烟,花了近2个小时才把3条全新轮胎更换完毕。建大的此款轮胎花纹深、胎质饱满,触感偏硬,是为复杂路况、长距离穿越设计的轮胎。我预估此轮胎正常负荷使用,应该可以连续行驶10000公里以上,等待事实验证了。 母亲原计划17日下午的航班。结果飞机故障,推迟到18日早飞武汉。我电话母亲说,如果真是20、21日的航班,还真不放心让她乘飞机过来。 目前遇到些麻烦。JH600B武汉全市无法上牌,只能去咸宁办理,代办人员说要10天左右。等不及,准备将车运至云南楚雄,结果物流又碰到麻烦,德邦、天地华宇、中铁都不受理。佳吉受理了,但只能运至昆明,且要价过高,仅打箱和运费就近3000元。 考虑从武汉骑车过去。但母亲年前需要回家陪外婆过年,这样国外旅行的时间就被压缩。 要想一个办法才行。 办法总比困难多,对此,我坚信不疑。 当我获知佳吉快运武汉至昆明收费近3000元时,我开始考虑接受最坏的结果:从武汉一路骑至云南。最大的问首先是车辆没有合法手续,任何一次交通检查都有可能终止我们期待已久的旅行。其次这个季节行驶在中国中部地区,赶上恶劣天气,身体承受的痛苦绝对够骂自己一万次SB。还有国内路程过长,我不得不压缩东南亚的行程,这对于将首次跨出国门的母亲来说,绝对是很大的遗憾。 午饭后,天气放晴,我觉得自己需要再出去碰碰运气。从网上获知大型的物流市场都集中在武汉汉阳区,距离我的居所几十公里,于是驾驶JH600B向汉阳走。我是外地人,对武汉不熟,对汉阳更加陌生,一路走一路问,经过了十几个路口,擦身几十位交警。今天的汉阳也不知道发生了什么情况,交警扎堆,每过一个路口就有4,5位警察叔叔。我心提到嗓子眼,但只能故作镇定,以正常偏慢的速度向前行驶。速度不敢提,怕交警认为咱做贼心虚,在下一个路口截堵,JH600B这车想逃还真是难度不小。 人品一路爆发,支持我从居所顺利开至物流中心区。前后走了三个物流中心,最终找到一家做云南专线的三志物流公司。老板是个小伙子,瘦高、很精神,读高中的时候也是个摩托车爱好者。JH600B不打箱直接运输,省去打箱费用。我听他详细描述完车子如何用叉车送到货车上,用什么样的箱子进行隔离、保护工作,才放心不少,交了运输费用,打车回府。 网购了21号去云南的火车票,世界末日,我们就要出发了。 从云南可以陆路入境的国家有三个:越南、老挝、缅甸。 越南允许携带自行车进入,对于摩托车的政策不是非常清楚,有车友成功从老挝进入云南,但大部分被挡在国门之外。老挝允许携带摩托车入境,目前磨憨-磨丁口岸基本是国内车友自驾去东南亚的唯一通道。缅甸的政策比较特殊,瑞丽口岸可以深入到缅甸境内,而其它几个口岸只能在距离边境线几十公里范围内活动。瑞丽口岸不允许携带任何交通工具,只能乘坐旅行社巴士前往曼德勒以南。 老挝和泰国都可以落地,但问是从磨憨出境,如果没有老挝的证,中国方面可能不允许出境。但从泰国清孔返回老挝会晒口岸时,是可以入境老挝再办理证的。我是昨天晚上才大概了解这些信息,所以打消了去磨丁口岸办理老挝落地的念想。网上联系了一家昆明的旅行社,老挝和泰国证大概需要5个工作日。计划抵达昆明后将护照委托旅行社去办理,然后快递至西双版纳。而我们则前往楚雄办理车辆落户,之后去西双版纳等待护照到手。[摘自母亲笔记]2012.12.17 我期待已久的时刻终于来临。 今天我早早起床了,天气真的很冷,但很晴朗。我带着一颗火一样的心愉快地踏上我梦寐以求的旅程。 来到候机大厅准备换登机牌,可怎么也想不到,当我把身份证递给前台服务小姐,得到的不是登机牌而是一盆冷水:这次航班由于飞机故障还没有从武汉机场起飞。 她哪里知道我的心情?你想象得出狼吞虎咽时被突然卡住了喉咙的样子么?我张着大嘴瞪着眼睛望着她,像傻子一样愣在那里。服务小姐也盯着我看,又重复了一遍刚才的话,我才缓过神来。 天哪,这温度降得也太快了,真的一点准备都没有。我从高空一下给摔到谷底,不知所措。[摘自母亲笔记]2012.12.17 我期待已久的时刻终于来临。

新加坡樟宜国际机场航站楼内出租车行驶在绿意浓浓的街道上蓝天白云映衬下的街区 便利的交通、交流无阻的普通话、良好的治安管理、发达的经济、干净整洁的环境、绿意充盈的热带风情,充满活力的新加坡是出国旅游不容错过的观光地。 由于时间有限,很多游客都是跟团旅游,在新加坡逗留的时间只有1、2天,多是走马观花。 其实,如果能够静下心来慢游,新加坡是非常不错好地方。新加坡在细节上让人感觉很舒服,一切细节都是以人为本,换钱问路和交通都很方便。 进入新加坡,首先要达到新加坡樟宜国际机场。樟宜机场相当漂亮,据说是全世界唯一的5星级机场,也是国际上最繁忙的机场之一,给人的感觉是大而不空旷,干净温馨,到处都是绿化,很漂亮。 机场里有汉语指示,跟着指示,能来到出关与填入境卡的地方,机上没填的或者不合格的在这填吧,边上就是WC,这里有各种语言的新加坡地图和旅游资料,可根据自己需要随便免费拿走。这些新加坡地图和旅游资料相当实用和人性化(在新加坡市内,仅一张旅游地图就需要10新币,相当于人民币50元)。 樟宜机场有3个航站楼,t2和t3都可以坐地铁,t1需要坐机场的快客到t或t3坐地铁,在机场乘公交和打的也很方便。 在新加坡住5天以上最好办个Elink卡,地铁、公交、小超市和一些小店都可以用,每次坐车能便宜不少钱,离开时退换余款留个卡可做纪念。新加坡的地铁孩子90cm以上就要买票。 在新加坡旅游,完全可以自己坐地铁、公交或出租车去每个景点,很方便。新加坡的地铁系统发达,互相换乘方便,而且新加坡地铁站许多与公交站是纵横交叉的,可以不出站换乘公交车。新加坡的公交系统也很发达,上下车自觉刷卡就可,根据行驶距离自动计算收费。但新加坡车厢里不准吃东西、喝饮料,否则罚款几千元人民币,逃票罚款也很严厉。 新加坡曾是英国殖民地,开车习惯与国内相反,方向盘在右边,车辆和行人都是靠左行驶,刚去时很不习惯。有一天,看到一辆车里面一个很小的女孩在开车,很惊讶,再仔细看,她是坐在副驾驶上,她爸爸在另一边开车呢。哈哈! 在新加坡的七天里,几乎没有见过警察,更不要说站在马路边上的“协警”了,最繁华的十字路口也没有警察指挥交通。 新加坡的治安也是国际上出名好的地方,在这里旅游,你会感觉很安全。感受新加坡之一——漫步岛国看狮城 干净清新亦繁华(概述篇) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2172957-1-1.html感受新加坡之二——休闲小岛走不停 亚洲最南寻风情(圣淘沙篇)https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2182169&page=1&extra=#pid50347652感受新加坡之三——参天巨树生满园热带风情绿无限(植物园篇)https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2231866&page=1&extra=#pid53500784感受新加坡之四——绿意充盈总统府世外桃源乌敏岛(总统府和乌敏岛篇)https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2253589&page=1&extra=#pid55203314感受新加坡之五——海风轻拂鱼尾狮 流光溢彩夜迟迟(滨海湾篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2255988-1-1.html感受新加坡之六——狮城国花胡姬花千姿百态芬芳开(胡姬花篇)https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2299743&page=1&extra=#pid58352540感受新加坡之七——小印度里寻缩影甘榜格南回族情(新加坡河等篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2322447-1-1.html感受新加坡之九——狮城春节气息浓牛车水里最喜庆(春节和牛车水篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2330106-1-1.html感受新加坡之十——方式灵活有初院 环境优美好校园(南初篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2344728-1-1.html感受新加坡之十一——享誉全球名高校 环境优雅美校园(南大篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2354269-1-1.html 从首都北京离开心爱的祖国 中英文对照的新加坡地铁线路图 夜色下的首都机场停机坪 到达新加坡就遇到在国内难得一遇的彩虹天 行驶在街道上的公交车 有的地方地铁线和公交并行 干净整洁的街区 司机在清洗大车车轮,在国内很少见过这样洗车的吧。 新加坡的组屋(普通新加坡人主要的住房,有政府资助),组屋一层供居民聚集、休憩、活动用。 新加坡旅游地图 在新加坡更多的是全英文的地图和志 等车的人们 新加坡有的地铁站带有中英文对照的站牌 等机的乘客 樟宜机场停机坪 樟宜机场停机坪 樟宜机场航站楼内 宽阔的道路车并不多,新加坡有私家车的人较少(政府严格控制私家车购买)。 公交停车站 道路两旁都是绿色 处处都干净整洁 清洁工多是印度人 地铁站多与商场相接,且接的很自然。 商场里可谓玲琅满目 街上的雕塑 精品店 河边的街区 街边的大厦 街边
去过许多地方即便最难到达之地,有一些地方我却从未到达譬如我的内心。视频: Somewhere I have never Travelled 拍摄制作:小爱____________________________________________________________________________2013年3月20日我自以为要去哪里,目何处,理由又何在呢? 很长一段时间我陷在自己制造的冲突里,在梦想和现实中举棋不定纠结不堪。回望自己和朋友们各自的成长轨迹觉得这是乏味人生中不多的有趣事情。起初,我们坐在教室学习,对未来毫无头绪。大学毕业后有了不同的职业,在不同的城市和环境生活,不同的故事发生。有的结婚生子,有的在职场拼命爬到很高位置,有的移民出国定居,毕业六年后大家都很成功,在这个社会获得稳定一隅。 在这群卓越青年中怎么蹦生出了我这个混混?我问自己。 有时觉得自己过的还不错,人们羡慕我,无拘无束,去了他们想去没能去的地方,过他们想过没勇气过的生活,活在他们曾经和现在的梦想里;也得到了不起人物的肯定,觉得自己发展的还不赖。 这部分是虚渺的,骄傲的,坚守梦想的一点底气。 现实些,我没有一丁点存款,没有车没有房子,没有名誉和权利。我一事无成。 总之,我们的人生开始分叉,各自蜿蜿蜒蜒伸出自己的一条路。 每个人都有梦想,哪些人在坚守兑付?人怎么个活法,它都是活。 我的路通向远离城市的山村、荒原,指向喜马拉雅山脉的方向。我等不及要回到那里,赶在现代文明吞噬它们之前。___________________________________________________________________________________ 躺在床上,我很容易觉得疲倦,于是坐到窗户旁的书桌,透过窗户玻璃我能看到屋外树木的枯枝在风中剧烈地摇晃。这是几棵大树,足有五层楼高,乌黑的枝干在干燥寒冷的空气里裸露了整个冬天,已经没有一片叶子可以落下。前年小区绿化规划时没有把它们纳入改造范围,所以住在四楼的我夏天打开窗户仍可以看到城市不多见的美景,浓绿的树叶层层包裹住树端,成群小鸟停在枝头或躲藏在浓厚的叶丛中,唧唧咋咋成天闲扯。 另一侧北面房间的窗户外原本是一小片杂树林,春天里很多树还会开着一串串雪一样洁白的花朵,有的则是大朵的娇艳的鲜红。现在,那里变成了一个休闲广场,我再也不喜欢留在北面房间了,以前的树木全不见了,换上了几株名贵的树稀稀拉拉安置在广场四个角上,还有一些修剪成圆的方的长刺的低矮灌从,小狗们都喜欢抬腿在那下面撒尿拉屎,小区的老人小孩一吃过晚饭也来这里遛弯嬉闹。 我开始回想这次旅途。______________________________________________________________________行程:泰国—柬埔寨—泰国2.16 重庆江北国际机场 — 亚洲航空(含税及行李券780元特价机票) — 飞抵曼谷2.17 曼谷廊曼机场 — 亚洲航空(含税及行李券180元特价机票) — 清迈机场2.17—2.21 曼谷清迈(泰柬过境) 2.21 清迈 — NCA公司夜间巴士(极舒适,高性价,推荐)— 曼谷 — 2.22曼谷Moh Chit 汽车站国营巴士(不推荐私营巴士)— 泰柬边境城市波贝 — 办理返,出境(若需从柬埔寨再次返回泰国,必须办理)— 入境(柬埔寨)— 出租车至暹粒2.22 — 2.28 暹粒(原计划26日离开暹粒,因来到ACODO孤儿院,推后行程2天)2.28 暹粒— 巴士(旅游代理处购买,从旅社接人,过境中转,直至送至岛上,推荐,注意此行程需耗时一天) — 泰国象岛3.1 — 3.6 泰国象岛3.6 象岛 — 巴士(旅游代理)— 曼谷3.7 曼谷廊漫机场 — 亚洲航空(含税及行李券580元特价票)— 西安咸阳国际机场(机票购买、证申请、具体行程及住宿出行安排费用等在相应文章楼层上陆续奉上)______________________________________________________________________本帖导引:* [ 视频 ]Somewhere I have never Travelled 3月20日 我自以为要去哪里,目何处,理由又何在呢? “我的路通向远离城市的山村、荒原,指向喜马拉雅山脉的方向。” 2月19日 我不可能长居清迈 2月20日 低调的名人YB和他的清迈 “其实我一直想象着像阿甘那样跑着跑着,突然他不想跑了,没有理由。” 第1页https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1651909-1-1.html* 2月22日 暹粒城ACODO孤儿院 (Assisting Cambodian Orphans and the Disabled Organization) 2月23日 我好想给她一点新的东西——一个新的人生?

https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1651909-39-1.html__________________________________________________________________________________________ 2月16日 重庆江北国际机场登机,我依旧坐在最后一排靠窗的位置,丛背包里取出爸爸妈妈清晨起床为我准备的便当,已经过了四五个小时它们竟然还是热乎乎的。爸爸妈妈是很传统的中国父母,希望我结婚生子,保持一份稳定的工作。我既不想结婚,现在这份稳定体面的工作马上也会结束。我向往绝对无束缚的生活,其中包括暂时离开父母,这让他们伤心难过也为我操心。我们之间产生了许多冲突和争吵。在中国“女子当相夫教子”、“孝为大”这些根深蒂固传统观念下做这份决定是极自私的,让我心绪不宁良心不安。 “自由职业”听着就太漂泊,但我并不是莽莽撞撞做这样决定的,未来的生活或许会很不如愿,但就算有机会回头我也不要。所以往前走的决定我自己负责,后果我全心全意接受。我现在就这么写,希望话说出来,我会勇气大增。无论如何主意已定,这几个月我开始努力尝试让父母了解并接纳我的生活方式,情况也逐渐向好的方向发展。 经济宽裕后,我更喜欢选择飞行的方式旅行。飞机迅疾上升,可以带我更快远离陈旧腐烂的环境,我的恐惧和悲伤,我的敌人和同仁,他们都留在了地面上。 飞行两个小时后,舷窗外的天空从湛蓝变的灰蒙蒙,机上广播说我们已经到达泰国首都曼谷市上空。飞机开始下降,冲透空气中最污浊的那一片后,地面开始隐约出现鳞次栉比的建筑,看上去和这个世界的其它城市很相似。现在这些城市不只布局相似,待在里面的人们他们的生活方式也越来越相似了。地面偶尔会出现一栋接一栋绿树环绕的金色寺庙。这时是冬天,在这个国家却依然有这么多葱翠的绿树,我居住的城市从空中俯瞰只有一整片死亡的灰色。寺庙的金顶在阳光下闪闪发亮,特别耀人眼。_____________________________________________________________________当我终于鼓起勇气迎面人生里汹涌而来的大浪,生命却转瞬为我展示它最灿烂可爱的一面。

在曼谷并没有多停留,我讨厌大城市,今早起床后直接飞往清迈。_____________________________________________________拍摄:吴哥寺______________________________________________________________________________________关于泰国和柬埔寨证申请:泰国旅游证:自己申请泰国证与旅行社代办的区别?1.费用不同申请人自己到使馆申请泰国证费用为RMB230元证费+RMB10元银行手续费合计为RMB240元。2.所需资料不同由旅行社代办泰国证护照+1张2寸白底照片即可,自己到使馆申请泰国证需护照+身份证+在职证明+机票订单+存款证明+照片。 3.a.坐在家里就可以申请证小爱懒人一枚,加上自己去使馆送并不方便,所以通过网上下单,(小爱此次通过“爱旅行网”办理证,大家所在城市的有国际业务的旅行社应该都可以代办,也可以在淘宝搜索可靠的证代理,一定要是可靠的代理喔)证代理公司全套代办泰国证,无需亲自前往使馆申请,免去了至少2次赴使馆的奔波之苦,坐在家里即可轻松申请泰国证。b.自己准备材料赴本辖区的泰国使馆申请证柬埔寨旅游证:1.电子啊电子,无与伦比的方便,提过网络提交证申请表格并支付证费用(25美金),二个工作日后我收到电子证email,下载打印出来即可。好方便啊,都这样吧柬埔寨电子申请地址:https//www.mfaic.gov.kh/evisa/?lang=ChiS2.落地,如果您是白本护照建议先申请证而不是落地,因为白本护照中国的海关可能不放你出去喔:)_________________________________________________________________________关于亚洲航空廉价机票预订:亚洲航空是我们熟悉的廉价航空公司,购买亚洲航空公司机票提早规划,提早订票,通常情况下提前半年预订您一定能买到非常合适的机票;关注亚洲航空微博

傍晚时分,忽然刮起大风,风越来越大,刮落的树叶瞬即又随风上扬,翻转滚动着飞舞很远。夜市上的小贩们慌忙收摊或找来塑料薄膜赶紧盖在售卖的物品上,原本往一个方向走的人流中开始有人掉头转身往不同方向前进,原本拥挤但还算有秩序的道路因此变得熙攘。没过一会儿豆大的雨点砸落下来,一场阵雨来临。____________________________________________________________面对大海,我可以获得一份内心的平静。拍摄: 泰国象岛 日落前夕______________________________________________________________________________________清迈:周日夜市(Sunday Market)安排清迈的行程前一定看看日历,每个周日在塔佩门都有很棒的夜市,一公里长的主道布满了摊点,可以购买很多特色小玩意儿,非常多的美食、街头乐队,好玩的事物目不暇接,即便暴雨也浇不灭我们逛街的热情哈哈)住宿(Hostel)FWD House Hostel Booking 的预订页面https//www.booking.com/hotel/th/forward-house-hostel.zh.html清迈旅社很多,walk in 也是可以的,但如果想要入住心仪的客栈,尤其是旺季,请至少提前二个月预订另,泰国入室内都是需要脱掉鞋子的,我们应尊重泰国的当地礼仪,也为中国塑造良好的旅行者形象:)货币兑换(Exchange)推荐“Super Rich”兑换店,在曼谷和清迈都有,汇率通常比别家实在)交通推荐皮卡改装的双条车,红色车无固定路线,招手停,告诉司机你要去哪个地方,并在地图上识给司机看,确认价格,上车。起步20铢/人,也可以包车,小爱有遇到乱要价的司机,所以如果大家对价格不确定可以事先在客栈前台咨询下,做到心里有数) 2月18日 清迈无论何时都是一副慵懒清闲的神态,我喜欢它黄昏时的街景,那时我蹲在某个狭窄街道,眼前移动的人群、车辆都只是剪影,他们的模样、神态、形状和色彩都有些模糊,街灯和车灯是一簇簇闪亮的星光。黑暗逐渐降临,街道两侧的建筑物黢黑的轮廓在深蓝的天空背景下更加清晰,远方云层低垂,灰色上面点缀了橘红。这看上去像是一幅油画。________________________________________________看见这个场景,我听见内心对自己说 “看,这就是旅行的意义。”拍摄:泰国象岛日落______________________________________________________________________________________清迈活动:城区:*租赁一辆自行车或助力摩托车,通常以一天计费。这样的方式穿行在清迈的大街小巷,你会觉得自己更象当地人,而不是旅行者。泰国的行驶方向与国内相反,靠左行驶,一定注意安全喔:)*SPA,街边的小时按摩很local也很便宜。小爱建议无需迷信网络推荐“女子监狱”按摩,按摩技术并无特别,和那里的按摩师交流中,她们也很迷惑为什么去的几乎全是中国人,络绎不绝,她们甚至没有时间休息。*美食,每晚6点后出摊的清迈门夜市,满是当地美食小摊,超美味,极推荐城外:ATV (All Terrain Vehicle即全路况四轮越野摩托车),很容易驾驶,又令人兴奋刺激,推荐漂流,也还不错喔参考旅游公司网站:https//www.chiangmaiadventure.co.thhttps//www.thepeakadventure.com (小爱选择的服务商,ATV价格更合适)______________________________________________________________________________________ 2月19日 我不可能长居清迈 或许有人听了要不开心了。我是不适合在清迈长住的人,才待了两天就已经觉得腻烦,我着急报名了漂流和山地越野这些刺激的户外玩意儿,预算之外多花了一大笔钱让自己有事可做。我愈发后悔自己决定成行这次休闲之旅,太乏味了,这让我更想念西藏阿里的高山和茫茫雪原,这处贫瘠安静的所在有太多东西叫我着迷。 我形容清迈就像一瓶依云矿泉水。精致好品位又怎样,对我而言它就是平淡乏味的白开水。尽管如此,许多旅行归来写出诱人故事的人们并没有骗你们,清迈的生活确实有她滋味的一面,她有很多精心妆点的漂亮庭院,庭院里有开满花的漂亮植物和可爱的陶瓷装饰品;本地夜市有便宜而且美味的食物,这里的各种水果沙冰饮品和芒果糯米甜点真是美味,我深深爱上它们。只是这些珍宝都混杂在一大堆让我感觉无趣乏味的城市影像中。 通常我会去一个城市的博物馆或艺术馆,城市文化方方面面的精华都在那里。___________________________________________________________________突突车司机清晨未如约出现,再赶到吴哥窟时,太阳已经升起,但看到这样的景致仍旧欢喜:)拍摄:吴哥窟日出 2月20日低调的名人YB和他的清迈 旅行中我们总会认识几个新朋友。YB是中国人,工作六年后辞职来清迈定居下来做一个自由职业者,今天晚上他骑着小摩托载我去见识一个有意思些的清迈。 第一站是清迈门,白日里空旷的广场现在满是桌子凳子人群和小吃摊。YB买来猪肉粥让我试试,粥熬的糯软细腻,搭配有猪肉丸子和姜丝,粥融入了肉的鲜味且一点不腻而且入口极其香滑,这是我吃过最好吃的粥了。离开清迈前一定要再来。我在各个小吃摊前垂涎欲滴徘徊不已,最后买了折合人民币一元钱一串的烤肉,塞了满满一小袋,喝足了五元钱一大杯的芒果沙冰、香蕉沙冰、西瓜沙冰,各种水果沙冰。这里所有食物都让我欲罢不能! 我们到了冰河旁一处很有特色的酒吧,bus bar就在冰河铁桥旁,比起沿河其他那些吵闹的酒吧这里安静多了。一辆红色的双层巴士改装成餐厅,布置的很温馨,可以坐下十来个客人。另一辆稍小些的红色巴士改装成了调酒吧。巴士旁是Bus bar很大的露天场地,摆放了二十来套桌椅,每张桌子上都点燃着烛光。有一棵很久远前活到现在的高大古树。YB低头看着脚下的河水向我描述 “水灯节时,这两边河岸会全是红橙橙的烛火,僧人在这样的树下念经,河里尽是纸船载着烛火向下游漂去,数不清的孔明灯载着人们的愿望飞上夜空。非常漂亮!”这简直就是要在我心里种下重返清迈的种子。 YB叫了一瓶啤酒后打开电脑继续写未完成的文章,我取出笔记本开始记下今天的故事。四周是轻柔的爵士乐和坐在附近客人的低喃,空气中携带着水汽和夜晚的清凉。我正无比享受这份舒适和静谧,一位非得要见偶像YB的中国游客跑来闲扯打破了这氛围,真讨厌啊。_________________________________________________《711贩卖店》 黑暗是恐惧的信使。一家711贩卖店独立在浓浓的夜色里,蔓延的黑暗笼罩了除此之外的一切。当夜幕降临时,它是这黑暗里唯一安全的象征,在夜晚比白天更容易对它生出亲近感。 我并不十分讨厌现代文明。拍摄: 泰国象岛 夜间出海归来_________________________________________________ 2月21日 离开清迈 YB来送我去汽车站。我好奇便问他,“你送我离开,会有难过的感觉吗?每一次送走朋友,他们继续向前走,在路上,而你得留在原地?” YB想了想回答,“现在不会了,因为旅行过很长一段时间,想固定下来。”

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([]
