记:如果你厌倦了伦敦,你就厌倦了生活——山缪尔·约翰逊Samuel Johnson。伦敦回来已经2月有余,刚回来就想将这几天的经历分享给大家,于是邂逅了8264.来过,就不曾离开。也在这里认识了很多朋友,一篇篇的游记,一张张的照片,挑动的是内心同样的神经。我知道,青春从未逝去,因为有8264,让青春和梦想再次起航!之前因自己用苹果照的,未能将美丽多彩的伦敦展现给大家,让我苦恼了好大一阵(之前帖子链接伦敦,我来了)。还好前几天收到大洋彼岸的一份包裹,里面有这次活动的全部照片,于是便整理一下再次呈现。一样的旅程,不一样的精彩!!D4出品,必属精品。豪门盛宴,马上开始。。。Awards-临行前的晚宴 ([]
后记前置:离开农大林场返回鸟市,需要经过庙尔沟乡。我坐在于杰车靠里的一个涂料桶上,紧靠着后面的包,在坑洼的道路上颠得身体各零件都叮啷响。大多时候都闭着眼,心里没有喜悦,亦无重压忽释的失重感。而是一阵虚无,空荡荡地虚无。遂想起鳌太之行之后的心情,与如今完全不同。沿着前辈们的足迹,历练一番,仅此而已。虽假寐,但思维却是活跃的,第六感如蛛丝般向四面八方延伸开去,触摸那破败却热闹的乡屯,随路边大喇叭里节奏明快的维族手鼓颤抖,体味咿咿呀呀歌声里的别样风情;触及了头屯河滩上那一树树怒燃的金枝,如果让黄叶折换成人的感情流露的话,那么这些杨树必是酒到微醺,胸怀豪迈的大笑;触及了赭色荒坡上的芨芨草、盐生草和垂头丧气的土豆们,它们像路边那个修车工一样,艳阳之下发着怔。触丝继续延伸,心怀怜悯地俯瞰着、抚摸着这支离破碎的天山北麓,这些干涸的台地,残留着乌孙故国的驼桩,栽着汉唐屯边的玉米,哈萨克人的先祖打着呼哨,手执弯刀,呼啸着奔到巴尔喀什湖以西。而斜阳里,张骞执节缓辔,驱万千牛羊,牤牛黑如缎,绵羊白似雪,像云团般滚过千万年冰冷清冽的天山河溪东来,自此,茫茫戈壁、数千里天山,立起高牙大纛,归了汉家版图。闻道寻源使,从天此路回。牵牛去几许?宛马至今来!那是辉煌耀眼如“昆莫”的时代啊!转而马蹄声乱,金戈悲鸣,狼藉的时空碎片反复交织,溅落在天山南北的千沟万壑里,晃动着蒙古人的骁骑,荧惑出波罗尼都的刀锋,兵燹里雪莲开了又败,浓烟中云杉耸入苍穹。这天山年复一年,流淌着清澈若无的乳汁,养得这片天下男子骁勇精干,女子皓齿明眸,瓜果甘甜如醴,牛羊肥壮似膏腴……萦绕……萦绕……无数画面在萦绕,然后一切复归虚无,恰似一枕烂柯。10个人,11天,彳亍奔波,个中滋味,各自胸中翻腾,必有惊涛骇浪之势,但相比身后云颠里的群峰、眼前这雄浑苍凉的五彩台地,恰似白驹过隙,刹那烟火,如达坂间腾起的荒尘般,微不足道。行者如蚁,更辽阔的天地,还在远方。可以直接跳至具体行程的某一天浏览,谢谢D1:24楼D2:91楼D3:119楼D4:168楼D5:287楼D6:315楼D7:521楼D8:605楼D9:665楼D10:729楼D11:774楼 活动总结:托苍天之福,给予了连续11天不冷不暖的良好天气,让我等安全进入,平安撤出。太冷则过河遭罪,宿营遭罪。太暖则融雪加剧、河水加大,不冷不热,实乃天助。暗道一声:侥幸!惭愧!托前人之福,公开了大量的资讯并提供成熟轨迹,让我等追随前辈们的脚印,得以完成,感谢你们的话好几TV。托后方队友、亲人之福,始终给予我们强大的支撑,致谢!本次活动最终成行10人,于9月21日在乌鲁木齐集结,于22日进入白杨沟开始徒步,第5天,登上蒙特开增达坂之后,队员漫步者因急需赶回鸟市,离队加速前进,于9.27日抵达C线终点,辗转巴伦台、和静县城去鸟市与家属汇合。其余9人于第6日翻乌兰达坂转入V线,最终于10.2日中午1330抵达位于昌吉市庙尔沟乡的农大林场。平安顺利地完成了整个穿越。行程概述:9.22,1130

重装扎营作为一个领队,在下仅能呈显给您一个平淡却平安的行走故事,假如这个故事处处充满血与火的洗礼,刀光剑影荒诞惊心的可怖,拿愚昧当谈资的话……那,要么我是骗子,要么我是傻逼。将头颅拴在裤腰带上的行走时光里却藐视安全至上的铁律,或是大智若愚,或是大于弱智。我曾经傻逼过,以后不会再有。在下行文向来又臭又长,不喜欢的看看图片就可,多谢您的赏光。 感谢TOAKS为本次活动提供钛锅产品,因其良好的产品性能,给团队的行程带来了极大的便利。感谢大河户外长期以来对团队从信息到物资的大力支持。感谢紫魅老总尽管跨行业但仍对我们的户外理想给予深切的关注和大力的支援。感谢因相同理念聚在一起的新老朋友,你们在后方给予我们强大的定力,像狗一般在达坂上喘气的时候,我不得不想起和你们一起撸串的日子,浓厚情谊,有生之年,不可磨灭! 每个人的运动机能和技能都各不相同,团队,需要的是取长补短,优势互补,任何一个细节的疏忽和失误,都会给整个团队增加意外风险。因此,出发之前就需要像军工厂的安全等级一样把安全警报指数提到5A级别。我们的做法是出发前捋顺清单,将清单提交大家讨论,逐个核实装备的可靠程度。毕竟自己的能力非常有限,没有能力装牛逼深知NB和SB,就是一字之差。成王败寇。自然法则。每个人都根据自己的现有装备状况,在“安全、周全、UL、经济适用”的理念下逐个更新升级,确保自己狗皮包袱里的物件没有多余的,也不会物资短缺。没有能力像8264的诸多资深玩家一样,UL到极致,仅是尽己所能了,出发之前基础装备重量为17505克(包含相机及配件),保温壶灌满水之后增加800克。最终在乌鲁木齐重新打包后幺重,出门前总重22kg。后增加了一公斤葡萄干,到呼图壁之后买了5个馕背着,其实全程仅吃下大半个,其余队友瓜分。到了白杨沟煤矿后,增加了一包红糖。事后证明这包红糖给予我非常大的帮助。每天到营地先烧热水,煮红糖,结合宝矿力粉,然后有一口没一口地慢慢喝,对自身的运动后的身体恢复起到了极其关键的作用。有的人认为运动后急切饮用大量水会造成水中毒,比如浮肿、器官胀痛等等,是有一定道理的。各人身体机能不同,我庆幸自己没有排水这个问,因此大量饮水并没有出现过不适症状。关于户外食品的问,我们是按照各自口味需求分头准备,继续延续单兵装备全套准备的理念,避免出现因意外导致人和装备、食品出现分离的情况。食品在徒步活动中最重要的营养和够热量。这个在队友芽子的鳌太帖子里有相关论述。鳌太——"侥幸"走过,妹子的十一SOLOhttps//bbs.8264.com/thread-1896840-1-1.html关于线路的信息点,可以参考队友海舌的精确纪录天空湛蓝阳光晴朗-记金秋狼C+V的日子(11日行程已更完)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1902972-1-1.html另外,还要追求饱腹感和口感,尤其是我对口感非常挑剔,出发之前,我不断强调了口感良好的食物对精神的抚慰作用。这个观念是来源于大神杨柳松的羌塘穿越,看到他在后期对每一瓣蒜的渴望,对吃糌粑粉的放纵,令人震撼!是的,食品在极度单调的环境下,是内心信念和安全感的很大一部分来源。单糖和多糖、碳水化合物、蛋白质、维生素、纤维素、无机盐,缺一不可。我按照45000卡路里的总值来准备这12天的食品,指导思想是满足大运动量的热量需求,并还有所冗余,以备不时之需。出发之前食品准备按照这些简单的理念来准备,就不会没有头绪,眉毛胡子一把抓,乱七八糟背一大堆冗余的食物,那是要把自己玩残的征兆。绝大部分食品在上图中了。其中士力架搞多了,带了九小块,仅吃了一块。晚餐:肉类准备了12份腊肉,腊肉亚硝酸盐多,并不是理想食材,但优点是好保存。辅材干蘑菇、干木耳、干白菜,主食:14份熟化米;早餐:自己配置的高能粉末,气得咬牙切齿的事情是,炒制过程中收快递,结果糊了,导致每天早餐像吃耗子药;午餐:少量馕,呼图壁买了五个馕背着,结果全程只吃了大半个。路上能源补充依靠大量葡萄干、巴旦木。呼市购买了一公斤葡萄干,实际消耗约400克,第六天留了一半给牧民。剩下的出山竟然还有少量。调剂:儿童钙锌挂面,因为捡了两瓶辣酱,面条奇迹般地好吃,早晚都忍不住煮一点,(面条携带采用脉动瓶装,避免垃圾产生),结局是面条严重紧缺,原本准备了九天量,结果翻过蒙特开增达坂就吃完了。在绿湖又接受了小伙多余的一包面,分了一半给海舌,一直吃到出山。 行前准备:我们的风格一向保守,保守到准备鳌太穿越,愿意花5个月的时间准备。来到世上的鸟,都翻过命中的山——大鳌太完美穿越纪略,反思和行摄https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1782788-1-1.html此行准备中除了拉练体能之外,更多的精力花在了营造“默契”这两个字上,行前会议拟定了大家全都明白的沟通方式,9.21日在乌鲁木齐集结之后,作为技术指导,慢起步再一次召集大家开会,进一步明确卫星电话的使用方法,进一步明确绳索等工具的用法,统一了过河所必须要用到的手语——沟通障碍才是路上最大的恶魔。起初,神创造天地。…… ——有一阵子,我和旅途在群里常用这句话做聊天开场白。(下面这段话并无恶意,请信宗教的朋友多多原谅。)“地是空虚混沌。渊面黑暗。神的灵运行在水面上。”神说,要有小浣熊,就有了小浣熊。神看天山是好的,就把天山分开了。神称东天山那条线,为博格达环线,称中天山那疙瘩,为狼塔。有C线,有V线,这是头一日。………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………起初,大家仅仅是动心狼塔C线的穿越,因为队友们继鳌太之后,需要再次安排假期,并且一请就是8天,这对于任何一个抠抠索索给员工发薪水的老板来说都是罪不可赦的无耻行径。可期盼的假期就是国庆了。因此初步计划了几个假期自由的队友先去尝试一下博格达的徒步线路。谁知道,队友们八仙过海各显小灵通,纷纷施展三寸不烂之干锅鸭舌,神奇滴搞定了假期。我和我的小伙伴们全都惊呆了。啥也别说了,直接C+V吧,这样省心,从拉练到物资准备、行前功课都好协调。博格达只好安排在下次了,也许下次拜访天堂湖的时候吧。端午鳌太学习总结了很多有用的经验,本次行程在鳌太的基础上进一步进行了优化。装备和食品的UL化,是重中之重,深知保护膝关节,呵护自家老腰是未来能走得更远的前提。因此基础装备都在拼命地轻量化。行程规划了11天,加上应急食品,食物需求量是鳌太穿越的2倍;基础装备按照-15°来准备,比起鳌太增加了许多重量,但团队还是规划了一条总体负重红线:20kg。大家就照着这条红线去努力,虽然没有全部做到,但有效地控制了整体负重。在此特别阐明一个观点,那就是无效负重的“蝴蝶效应”。假如你出发前随意往包里多塞了一双50克的袜子,那么你就要在接下来的11天内消耗50克袜子不断爬升下降11个单位日的能量。而产生这些能量的来源是食物,因此你需要多背负11倍50克物体做功消耗的食品,每个人的能量转换效率各不一样,假如你的能量转化率低于平均值,意味着你的食物消耗量更大。更不要忘了,将这些并不需要的食物转化成能量,你需要燃料来烹调,需要水来进行化合作用。要么同时增加燃料背负,要么面临能源危机。而在大运动量的条件之下,因为无效负重产生的多余食物摄入带来的化合作用,将增加人体的器官负荷和代谢压力,影响身体恢复的进度,进一步影响第二天的行走……无效负重过多的行程,就是一出悲剧。你不是旅途,你不会持续制造查克拉。 20日到了鸟市,闲得无聊,各种美食都要尝试一番,一顿乱吃 公园北街是个让人一下就喜欢上的地方。20日提前到了鸟市,直接住这儿,是二爷去年走狼C住过的地方,14日漫步就借着考察西北市场的口号提前到了,随后在新疆户外群得到了热情的新疆朋友们周到接待,对于这么个不会吃的主儿却被带着吃各种好吃的,叫我这样的伙夫怎么平心静气地再憋下去?然后老头还隔三差五打个电话向我描述公园北街如何如何好,直接把我一张硬座票忽悠成经济舱机票,这不今天刚收到还款通知,我准备拿行程单找他报去。小陈妞推荐了《我的阿勒泰》,我一口气扫了一大半,囫囵吞枣。毋庸置疑,仅在乌鲁木齐小摊撸过串的人就谈对该地的了解,诚为世人所笑,但因为李娟的文字,让我意会了许多大美新疆所具有的的本质气息。她的文字,像柴耙子,把短短的新疆之行所接触的繁复信息梳理得妥妥的。我总算意识到,生活在这片土地上的人们,不论民族、年岁,有许多物产丰饶的内地人们所不具有的东西。在其书中有个滴水泉的故事,“她们在走投无路的时候,说,我们去滴水泉吧。”是的,这片土地养人,接纳人。21日早七点,天色昏暗,睡得正香,听到窗外人声鼎沸,疑似做梦,爬起来拉开窗帘一看,秒懂。心中一阵狂喜,老头果然没有骗我。这早市是天天有啊!立即穿衣服下楼,导致当天忘记洗脸。一个人就顺着不长的街道来来回回走了好几遍,看一切都新鲜。上好的辣子、茴香、大料、孜然,一袋又一袋,摆得整整齐齐,土豆白菜西红柿,堆积如山。新疆久负盛名的各种各样的葡萄、瓜果被码放在三轮车上,红紫晶莹。吃穿住用,一条街全齐活,各色人等来来往往,热闹非凡。坐在小摊上大口啃着刚炸出来的大油条,热乎的豆浆,听身边的老头老太,絮叨儿女的鸡毛蒜皮,四十年前那些琐碎的旧事……回来后一遍又一遍地重温那记忆里闪现的一个个表情,那是本地人最真实的最平凡的一面,这个城市或者说这片土地,没有多少祖祖辈辈都定居于此的世系家族,牧民习惯逐水草而迁徙,汉人在历史长河里一直在这里轮值,在某个宅院里能翻出万历五年的族谱,几乎是不可能的。人和土地形成的是不断变动的关系,天上的云是变动的,戈壁和沙漠也是变动的,这必将影响人群的性格。一个未曾在那片土地上居住过的人写新疆,必定是浮浅造作的,而李娟不同,能够在本土和客居之间平滑切换,刻画出许多新疆本土鲜活的脸孔。这些脸孔是恬淡的、安逸的、爽利的、充满智慧的。心像天山般轮廓分明,像戈壁一样辽阔。而我,能在这些公园北街赶早市的人群中,看到她描述的浓浓的乡情的影子。这里不是我的故乡,但她将我对有关故乡的记忆全部点燃。在乡村,乡土历史是由五日一集所组成的。赶集,就是乡土全员参与的社会编年史。。公园北街,是个接地气的地方。这一切对于一个南蛮子来说,深入内心。 关于垃圾处理:坚决执行LNT原则。垃圾处理是个很敏感的话,处理好自己的垃圾是每一个人必担的责任。我记得风版就此讨论时猛虎大哥说了一句话,为什么会有垃圾?这是句一语惊醒梦中人的真知灼见。是的,与其焦头烂额琢磨怎么处理自身产生的垃圾问,不如在出发前尽可能减少垃圾的产生。出发之前预想了垃圾的处理方式,10个人11天的垃圾产生数量会比较大,焚烧是很不环保的处理方式,是简单粗暴的处理模式。尤其是塑料等焚烧,会产生二噁英等强致癌物质。又想要采用焚烧的模式处理,又想要尽可能地降低对环境的冲击,必须寻找一个折中。我们要求队友尽可能地集约化包装,杜绝笨重、多余、不好处理的塑料包装袋。纸巾虽然可以降解,但白色污染也十分难看,我们要求严格按照11天的最低使用张数携带。湿纸巾我是按照一天使用3片来准备的,全部外包装去除,用风扇吹干,用一个小密封袋包装。——湿纸巾那点消毒作用只能骗自己,不用也罢。如要携带鸡蛋则打入一个脉动瓶里,密封保鲜。挂面也按需求装入脉动瓶内,密封、防水、利于打包。总之,集约化包装概念一直在贯彻。这使得整体垃圾产生量非常小,尽可能地降低了对环境的冲击。气罐,自己携带的气罐全部背出山。并且因为路上捡了前人留下的残罐,使用完之后也全部穿刺、砸扁一并背出山。小静笑得是发自肺腑的开心,很明显,在乌市,她觅食总算成了一件轻松的事情,有这么多的选择余地,又对自己口味,简直是掉进了蜜罐里,换着花样吃。午餐坚决大盘鸡了,晚餐换个花样,中盘鸡!吃得心满意足,话说,你们真的是来爬山的吗……………………………………………………小静是个有追求的人,为了给本次活动增加强度,锻炼自己,愉悦心灵,出发之前几天,不小心把一锅滚烫的水倒自己大腿上了,当时蹦起来两米多高。我在整个拉练过程中最不能承受的就是队友受伤,受任何伤。如今她的腿遭遇烫伤,让我们的心猛地一沉,烫伤恢复慢,对营养、休息、维生素等要求较高,狼塔恶劣的环境下加上过河的低温刺激,恐怕不那么容易好了。这消息真令人忐忑不安。所幸,是表皮烫伤,经过医生治疗和几天时间的恢复,最终在胶布的保护下,不再影响行动了,这才让大家心里放松一点。伤病,安全起见是要退出活动的。具体会发展到什么程度呢?一旦出发,就需要到白杨沟达坂之前再来进行客观评估了。如果依靠团队的协调能搞掂的,尽可能不退出活动。准备这么久,帮助队友在确保人身安全的前提下实现梦想是一个团队应有的原则。 D1:9.22,1130 抵达白杨沟大油罐处,开始徒步。1830抵达预定营地扎营;平稳顺滑的热身之路,峡谷时而大放时而紧收,给初来乍到的我们好好地上着入门课,大家顺利地适应了地形、光照、水温、路况等等。 蝴蝶飞不过沧海。随缘飞不过餐馆。小缘子只有在端着碗的时候,内心是澄澈通明的,一花一世界,一碗一菩提,三碗是开悟,五碗纳须弥。 辽阔的世界,遥远的雪山和五彩的山地,这些五花肉一般的台地之内,往往藏着丰饶的宝藏。对陌生的地貌,着迷 想到要躲进深山了,联合国的事不用管了,白宫的文件不用了,阿拉伯国家联盟的烂事不用协调了,慢起步桑一脸贼拉得意,递个三弦就能唱一曲了十一点半,内地时间上午九点半,抵达徒步的起点,传统上,大都从这开始迈出狼C的步伐。作为不喜欢拍合影的队伍,这次是拍合影较多的一次。 看着队友一步步走进云山深处的感觉真好,神秘主义思想笼罩了我全身。 行走在光栅里,让时间有着强烈的递减感。好好行走吧,好好逍遥吧,每一步都是在人世间最后的倘佯 前人用云杉树干搭的简易桥,落到我们手里时,上面因流水而结满了冰,我用杖尖慢慢地把冰都捅掉了,大家顺利通过。 漫步总是嬉皮笑脸地几步就嗖嗖地过了河,装了弹射器似的。 朝圣之路 纬度高、地势和空气通透,造就了每天早上出发后的独特现象,阳光总是从南坡的上方斜射下来,由于和坡面夹角较小,故,阴影很重,对于喜欢拍照的人来说如获至宝。因为它提供了层次细腻,对比强烈的的画面。你不仔细观察,那么这些石头和草就是缺乏生气的。 ([]

单车朝圣----写在前面的话 不知道从什么时候起,我没有什么太大的欲望了,但并不是说就无欲无求了,弄的上纲上线跟了却尘缘了一样,那是不可能的,我对和尚没兴趣;只是觉得生活很简单,翻过来覆过去就那么点东西,实在是没劲。每日都这么周而复始的,你们不觉得无聊吗,但说回来吧,更像是食之无味弃之又可惜了,所以先活着,看看还有什么。 过于安份的人,是因为心里住着躁动野兽,活了二十几年了,一直都是搂着的,总觉得放不开,放开了怕大家受不了,当再次面对那些束缚的时候,我想说的是。。。去TMD。 想去那里不重要,重要的是这个过程,更重要的是这个决定。 最近有这么一段话流传着:不旅行的借口可以找一百个,比如护照不好用啊、证太难啊、英语不好啊、语言不通啊、学业为重啊、水土不服啊、没有旅伴啊、工作太忙啊、家人不放心啊、恋人反对啊、安全没保障啊、最近手紧啊、体力不支啊……但是旅行的借口只有一个:走! 我想告诉自己或者你们的,就是在我们仅仅能有用的活着的这几十年里,想去做任何事情,别在给自己找理由,理由多了去了,牵绊多了去了,我们没太多时间等时机成熟,什么时机算可行,你去做了就是TMD可行了。 —— 说点狠俗的。 有些事情, 现在不做, 或许, 一辈子都不会做了。(以上写于2012.2.14)生活总是在我们毫无戒备的时候对我们劈头盖脸的一顿毒打,我们不能反抗,也无法反抗,我们唯一能做的事就是,挺胸抬头的看着它,让它打的不开心。时隔一个的月的时间,发生了点我曾经认为可以承受,当真的发生了自己身上又承受的苍白无力,慢慢的体会着自己内心对生活态度的变化,越发的认为我的绝定是对的,希望这个决定能带给我更多的变化,心里上的或者身体上的(甩掉点荤油总是好的),可能我活的过于感性了,现在变成一个感性的胖子,我觉得认识我的人都让我渲染的开心了,可自己却没真正的笑过,可能有点自大,不过不算过,今天又看上边的话,也许有人会认为年少轻狂吧,虽然不年少了,但这次请允许我再轻狂一回。 都说是末日 我说是天堂。 ------------------------------我来了拉萨,你在那里。我爱你们,我的兄弟。 2012年3月19日 天气 无限大风 下午出发的,实在是煎熬不住了,以为双城不回有多远,从不骑车的我,让这50公里给我上了一课,到双城时候已经8点多了,路上水被冻住,什么也喝不到,走到7点多我就把预备的压缩饼干吃的光了,那个时侯看路书上说一天能骑150公里,其实我看了是在骂娘的 ____________________ 时光冉冉。到双城已接近9点,没什么力气,这是在被窝里拍的。2012年3月20 扶余风婆婆就跟死了孩子一样,大风吹,大风吹,真骑不动了。刚刚骑出来没经验,忘记带补给,东北这种地广人稀的地方你是知道后果的,只能看见无垠的苞米地咆哮,你妹的。坐骑小白登场。 很有心情放水的时候也来一张第一次上这种路的时候,悄悄的告诉你 绝望了。一个人在路上最难打发的就是寂寞,而不是这寒冷。看到一次绝望一次,这个时候我还在想什么时候我能到拉萨 到了扶余就赖在这里不想走了,找了个小旅店,在众人看国宝的眼光中悄悄的藏到屋子里 收拾东西。2012年3月22日德惠 我记得有人说话,当你去实现梦想的时候所有人都会帮助你。出发不远就遇到俩位老者也从后面骑着车就朝我来了,一路与我同行,嘘寒问暖的,着大冷天真的很温暖,可惜的是当时太过激动,忘记留下照片做个回忆。 晚上终于汇合了德惠的老胖,还真胖,不过胖的很儒雅,我曾经很自卑我头很大,他出现以后,我的后半生充满的希望。回复 ValueSun 的帖子明天吧 传不上去了,不知道为什么。人生如戏,你不知道下一秒你在那里,别活的太认真了。 2012年3月24日 在德惠休息了一天等胖子准备下,今天才出发。 早上这里的雪下的很大,其实根本就不能走的,别说骑车开车都费劲,但这心等不了了,还是走了。 暴雪的恶劣程度我不想再描述了,如图。总之正常人都要崩溃,而我瞬间正常了。 零度左右的空气让落下的大雪变成了冰水泥巴的混合物,过往的车辆有点人性的还ui走快车道,没人性的就直接迸溅到我们身上,每次我都会伸出中指对准他们的倒车镜,浑身上下没有一点干的地方,又冷有潮,也记不清多冷,多远,多累了,像噩梦一样在长春醒来。德惠的老胖2012年3月25日 公主岭连续扎胎4次连续大风连续上坡什么都不想说。补胎休息中。 2012年3月26日 四平从前不知道计划,后来学会计划,再后来被生活打乱计划,再后来计划着打乱生活 一天持续的大风,无限的上坡,50公里的四平天就黑了,胖子也挂了,甘闹了,我对东北的厌恶已经从肉体上升到精神,骑车东北那天我要对着北方磕一个。 第二天去看了个儿时的老友,算是这个城市给我的唯一安慰。胖子晚上家里突然有事回去了,我这盼了一路的伴也没了。 2012年3月28日 开原袜子军团一路无聊的骑行,突然发现这个大学,那些年亲的面孔在操场上流动,突然有些凌乱想到自己这十年。好像大喊一声 “青春”却像失声了一样变成一抹微笑,我闭上眼睛,张开双臂一路滑行,一路飙泪。开原的旅店是眼下路上遇见最贵的地方,在城市里跑了几公里最后才弄了个70大洋的。不过条件很好。2012年3月29日 铁岭第十天才到这里,真的有点大意了天气的威力。今天又是大风让我不在急躁,反而淡定了许多,吹去吧,你吹我就不骑。我懒的拍照 见谅。2012年3月30日一路没什么风景,到沈阳遇到一位老者,很热情的跟我聊了一阵子,我也没敢说我去拉萨 - - 忙完了许多事情天已经黑了,其实在北方这地方,我这一身装备行头想找个旅店还是有点挑战的多数时间是旅店在挑我,不是我在挑旅店,今天很幸运遇到了一对年轻的小夫妻店,老板娘还很卡哇伊 :)看我是骑行的人,略显激动的在我身旁蹦跶很久,还冲了杯咖啡给我。2012年3月31日 辽中旅店的隔音不是很好,早上起来的很晚了,也是骑够了,东北,这季风我就不说没风才奇怪。2012年4月1日 愚人 锦州又遇锦州,古人已不在。今天的吃饭的地方是最让我崩溃了刚进城就找了个吃饭的地儿,服务员问我吃什么?我示意了一下别人手中的菜单。她说等下,哦,你吃什么?我:给我菜单。她:你吃什么?

黎明前,天空是深邃的蓝,云朵是更深的蓝几近乌黑色。远处的特拉维夫城区亦然灯火通明,一副未睡的姿态等待苏醒。or在后座睡着了,想起离开托姆父母家时,狗儿图逖低着脑袋慢摇着身体轻声挪到我身边,or说图逖想和你说再见。 出境的安检复杂了许多,托姆和我先是接受了五分钟左右的问话,分别是希伯来文和英文。随后是旅客配合打开所有行李。安保人员严肃的脸孔,手持探测器对行李箱内每一件物品一遍遍逐一仔细探测检查,如有在以色列境内接受任何礼物须事先说明,这些物品将拿到一旁进行更复杂的检查。安保人员直到随我去值机柜台出了登机牌,行李放上传送带,他才离开。清晨六点半,免税店已经开始营业,取了退税的现金在店里为家人挑选了巧克力。 这天的地中海很静很蓝一如二十二天前到达那日。----------------------------------------------/ 离开以色列/ 以色列安全吗?/ 首都特拉维夫印象/ 到北部(戈兰高地,约旦河、加利利湖)旅行/ 耶路撒冷的生活/ 南部埃拉特珊瑚礁潜水/ 加沙地带旁阿什克隆市的犹太家庭聚会/ 以色列消费水平/ 死海 恩盖迪国家公园../ 续..-------------------- 未经本人书面同意,任何形式媒体不得以任何形式转载本图文 -------------------(该声明原因:并不是因为不想和大家分享这个行程,发帖本身就是想和大家分享的) 这个声明原因是,以前常有网站自行替我注册ID并在未事先通知本人及获取同意的情况下便使用文章和其它行为,所以才有此声明,请大家谅解! ) -------------------------------------------------------- 清晨航班的缘故,飞机上人极少,空下了小半个客舱。 起飞时,北京城还沉睡在黑夜中。旁边的座位是无人的,于是我可以以舒服的姿势半躺在两个座椅上。这样的优待使我在回程航班拥挤的客舱内时甚是想念。隔壁座位的以色列姐妹儿横躺在三个座椅上,从起飞直睡到基辅落地。 临窗俯瞰,地中海是一大片无暇的湛蓝,飞临以色列首都特拉维夫市时,已经隐约可见海滨沙滩上星星点点的人群。本古安机场落地,没有经历传闻中极其复杂的入境过程,只是接受了简洁而严肃的入境闻讯后便可取行李然后出了航站楼。托姆在出口处等候着,车直接开往耶路撒冷。窗外,日落时分的橙红色光线照射在这片土地上,很美。---------------------https//file12.top100.cn/201208241327/81EE779445F42599BC61BB75F8B3E092/Special_241403/Strong%20World.mp3 ------------------------------------以色列State of Israel 以色列(希伯来语:מְ1;460;97;נַ514;י460;שְ474;12;ָא1461;ל希伯来语中意为“与神角力者”,阿拉伯语دَ08;ْ04;َة18;3;1616;7;¡8;رَ;75;ئ;ِيلR06;)是一个位于西亚黎凡特地区的国家,位于地中海的东南方向,北靠黎巴嫩、东濒叙利亚和约旦、西南边则是埃及。以色列在1948年宣布独立建国,目前人口已超过700万,主要来自犹太人族群,也是世界上唯一以犹太人为主体的国家。以色列是中东地区最为工业化、经济发展程度最高的国家,拥有该地区管理最良善、对财产权利保护最佳的经济体制。(摘自百度)到达耶路撒冷的第二天傍晚和托姆到住处附近的sacher公园散步,对这个陌生国家的一切都很好奇。 sacher公园拍摄------------------- 耶路撒冷历史悠久,为以色列和巴勒斯坦共同的首都,大多数国家认为该市的最终地位尚未确定,有待以色列和巴勒斯坦双方谈判决定。现多数国家将驻以大使馆设在特拉维夫市。今天耶路撒冷仍然是巴以冲突的中心。耶路撒冷为以色列最大的城市,同时是犹太教、基督教、伊斯兰教三大亚伯拉罕教(或称“三大天启宗教”)的圣地。 sacher公园拍摄 耶路撒冷是一座用石头建筑在山上的城市,寂静肃穆却又偶尔透露着温暖的气质。有八角街一样环绕曲折迂回的巷子,却有着更深邃的寂静。sacher公园附近拍摄 ----------------------------------- 待在住处一整天,能听到的便是隔着半米左右宽的巷道对面犹太教祈祷室内的吟诵声,唯有末了一句“哈里路亚”听得明白。此外便是偶尔一两路人经过脚步磨搓石板地面的声音和流浪猫喵咪的叫声。这样的静,让人喜欢。 --------------------- 以色列安全吗? 弟弟和朋友们看新闻联播,舆论升级时他们的担忧也随之升级,和另一个国家的战争听起来一触即发。对父母只轻描淡写说会出国旅行一阵子。我是不看新闻节目的,所以于我没有战争也没有国际局势的紧张。如果你相信,在以色列期间我没有哪怕一次的害怕或神经紧张过,因为我所见的是一幅人们再正常不过的生活画卷,丰富而富有魅力更充满着希望和欢乐。以色列朋友们也谈论这场或许会在夏天到来的战争,用平和而普通的语气。我生活在中国,从未担心过某一天会有一场战争,而领土的辽阔也提供了国民殷实的安全感。托姆和他的朋友们,他们的心境我是很难真切理解的。 以色列实行普遍义务兵役制,坚持“全民皆兵”的原则。凡年满18—29周岁的男性公民、18—24周岁的女性公民,无特殊情况,都要应征服现役。其中男子的服役期为3年,女子的服役期为2年。服役期满后,除少数特殊需要继续服现役外,其他人员一律转为预备役。 坐巴士时通常会和这些持枪的服役青年同车;餐厅用餐时或许会坐在邻桌;超市冷柜选食物时发现你们都喜欢同一种巧克力冰淇淋。这些持枪的男女大多是正在服兵役的青年。朋友静睁大了眼很好奇,他们怎么可以扛着枪到处去,车站、超市、商场、咖啡店、广场,任何地方。就像遇见上学的学生,平常而随意。 左边这个黄头发小男孩眼神很诡异哈哈哈:)这些青年很帅很美更是亲和。和所有游客一样,置身其中你并不感觉危险。 朋友们询问时我有试着去总结自己所经历的这个以色列,但终究很难,不擅于也不去定义什么,只是观看。 第二次去哭墙(West Wall),托姆走的很快,我踩着恨天高,下台阶时滑倒摔跤,广场上一组士兵正在等候将举行的某种仪式,是去驻地前的某种爱国教育,关于和伊朗的那场战争或许会在夏天来临。游客以这群荷枪实弹装备的兵士为不错的背景取景拍照,婴孩在推车里,父母带着他们信步徜徉其间,小孩追着广场上的鸽子四处飞舞,以色列国旗帜随风飘扬。 ------------------------------------------- 特拉维夫印象TelAviv Country 特拉维夫—雅法(Tel Aviv- Yafo)通常简称为特拉维夫,是以色列第二大城市。特拉维夫滨临东地中海,是以色列最大的都会区,也是该国人口最稠密的地带。今天,特拉维夫被认为是以色列最为国际化的经济中心,以及所谓“硅溪”(希伯来语: 3;ואד1497; 1492;סי00;1497;קו3;206;;英语:SilIcon Wadi)地区的心脏。该市具有活跃、摩登、世界主义的特征,被公认是以色列的文化之都。特拉维夫被认为已出现了成为世界级城市的趋势,并被列为中东生活费用最昂贵的大城市。 因为不同于以色列其它任何地方,特立独行的特拉维夫在以色列人民心中冠上TelAviv Country 这个别称,称那是另一个国。特拉维夫中央汽车站附近便是这个城市的贫民区,从汽车站外开始便偶尔可闻尿骚味,这种感觉……。因为是正午,所以在这一区行走还很安全,晚上倒是另一副样貌了,偷盗抢劫卖淫,托姆说真的会很危险。之后是特拉维夫的富人区,乍看很普通也不会引起人的注意,葡萄牙和德国建筑风格,家门前停些靠谱的车。 滨海大道老雅法都通通快速走马观花,直到向希望让我看到更多地方的托姆发出抗议停止这样无意义的行走。海边阳光很好,有微微的海风,这样坐在草坪看大家跑步骑车拍打乐鼓散步冲浪狗狗游泳,这就足够快乐。----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 弹吉他,恋爱,睡大觉 亲吻,亲吻,更多的亲吻 特拉维夫的建筑 特拉维夫的建筑回复 MAYA` 的帖子这个我不太确定:)但从他们的农业来看,在那样的荒漠环境发展却很好,科技技术必须高。接触的以色列朋友也大多从事工业设计及其他高科方面工作,所以大概答案是是的:) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------到北部旅行(Golan Heights and Sea of Galilee ) 逾越节的关系,托姆和朋友们有了两个礼拜假期,我们计划一次到北部戈兰高地的旅行。 戈兰高地位于以色列和叙利亚的交界处,分属两个国家。北起谢赫山南坡,南到雅尔穆克河河谷,总面积为1860平方公里。戈兰高地具有丰富的水资源,被称为中东地区的“水塔”,以色列国内使用的40%的水源都来自这里。高地南部为农耕区,北部的谢赫山麓为林木和灌丛所覆盖的牧场。 若是我,两天的旅行肯定只带个小包就颠颠儿走掉,托姆他们却不一样,车厢后部严实地挤满各种装备和大包大箱,起初我是觉得有兴师动众的,约瑟还蠢蠢欲动打算挂架他的哈雷机车。近戈兰高地,景色更加精致起来,不像随意所为,倒像高尔夫球场那般一花一树一草坪的位置都经过认真的设计。------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------https//file4.top100.cn/201206091245/DDC9CADE7DC7FA2D2DC30C363F8C798A/Special_106417/The%20Sharing%20Song.mp3 --------------- 夜,月亮很低很近。亚利吾拔弹着吉它,篝火燃的很旺,托姆和朋友们用希伯来文交谈,偶尔放声大笑,偶尔用英文问Lin, how about it ,烤牛排很美味,河岸某处有奇怪的鸟叫,晚风拂过。 清晨早些时候有醒过来片刻,朦胧的睡眼外是柔和的光线,绿色和橙色印花扶椅草地都有些歪斜,在它们后面的天空,云彩是粉

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([]
