肩上背的手上挂的怀着某种急切的、甚至忐忑的心情,一层一层地打开自家的门。一切依旧,除了门口的一层薄薄的灰尘。放下行李,打开窗户,眼睛在日历上停留了片刻,那是出行时的日期——4月1日。我有点费力地一迭迭地撕,直撕到今天的日子——5月1日。它明我的自驾游已经走了一个月,或确切地说走了31天。 旅行是一种生活方式。 有一种风景具有长久的磁性的迷惑力,有一种文化会使我们更易于接受自然界的的诱惑,有一种向往自由的心使我们更敏感于刻板生活的窒息。于是就有了间歇性的、类似病理性的反应,轮回式地隔段时间去走走,去发泄,去观察,去欣赏,等等。 例行文字: D1:福建省宁德市七都 D2:福建省泉州市开元寺、清净寺、洛阳桥、安平桥 D3:厦门鼓浪屿、南普陀、海滨浴场 D4:田螺坑土楼 D5:路上,晚宿广州市 D6:黄埔军校旧址、开平碉楼、赤坎镇 D7:路上,晚宿三亚市 D8:亚龙湾海滩、三亚湾海滩 D9:尖峰岭、天涯海角 D10:三亚湾 D11:博鳌、文昌市、海口市 D12:买轮胎、路上,晚宿北海市 D13:北海银滩、红树林 D14:明仕田园、德天大瀑布 D15:通灵大峡谷 D16:阳朔西街 D17:漓江漂流、月亮山 D18:大榕树、象鼻山,晚宿三江县 D19:肇兴侗寨 D20:荔波小七孔桥 D21:西江苗寨 D22:镇远 D23:路上,晚宿梵净山农家乐 D24:梵净山 D25:凤凰 D26:张家界袁家界、天子山 D27:张家界金鞭溪、黄龙洞 D28:路上,晚宿恩施梭布垭石林景区 D29:荆州古城 D30:钟祥市明显陵夜宿婺源 D31:兰溪市诸葛村——回家 全程的第一张照片,记录我的新车公里数:3138KM 全程的最后的一张照片,记录车至朋友家门口的公里数:12103KM。12103-3138=8965,也就是说我们大约自驾游走了九千公里。 在梅州市至广州市的高速公路上堵车1小时,始有了我的新车菲亚特/菲翔的首拍照片,是它的优良性能保证了旅途的安全。 本次出游共4人:醉翁之意,即我,全程驾驶员;翁嫂,拙妻,刚拿到驾照,尚不能跑高速,只能作紧急情况下的备用力量;我的一位老友许先生和他的妻子(按照网络上的习惯,我正考虑给他们取个网名)。现在应早点进入正,其他的有关旅行中的实用性建议或经验教训等将在后续部分添加或补叙。第1天福建省宁德市七都4月1日由于一些琐事的延搁,我们直至下午1点钟才动身。心里想,筹划了这么久的计划终于去实行了。心一直为禁锢所苦,这下子轻快了,自由在前方指引。下午才从温州出发,跑不了多远,最远可到福州。但我对大城市毫无兴趣,从一座钢筋水泥跑到另一座钢筋水泥,有什么意义呢。且中国的城市大都千人一面,有特色的寥寥无几。闽北是温州的门槛,太姥山已去了两次,福鼎市也买过水产。想起上次看朋友手机上的一张照片,那是涂滩,河图洛书般的天书图案,抽象美啊。朋友告诉我那是宁德市的七都,今天就冲着去七都。5点钟到了七都,顺着沿涂滩的公路,雨势渐大。打伞去问渔家,他说拍摄点正在这附近,只是现在是退潮时间,要到潮水涨到半淹涂滩上的栅栏时才好看。我问,那会是几点呢?他笑着说,得明天11点。哇哈,等不及了,看来我不是摄影中人,没这份耐心。胡乱拍了几张“舟自横”的照片,就去宁德市投宿了。 回温州后,我给我的一位热爱摄影的同学通了个电话。他说在七都摄影要侯天气、时间和潮水,要登上附近的山头,下面是他拍摄的照片,你看多美啊。 第2天 开元寺、清净寺、洛阳桥、安平桥 说城市都千人一面也不尽然,比如说这泉州。当红砖白窗低层楼房初入眼帘时,你会眼睛一亮。但当大片的连街倒巷满目红砖屋出现在眼前时,你真有说不出的诧异,疑为进入异域。在这有着海上“丝绸之路”起点之称的,有着世界性文化沉淀的“海滨邹鲁”的回光返照下,我驱车到了开元寺。 曾在唐开元26年,唐玄宗下令在凡因战争而造成重大伤亡的地方建寺,以超度亡灵,寺均以“开元”命名,因此全国以“开元寺”命名的寺不知其数。 开元寺是福建省最大的寺庙,建于唐武则天垂拱二年((686年) 寺庙两侧为东西两塔,高40米,是泉州市的象征和志。塔为石塔,周身有点发黑,显现沧桑。 下为佛教中大名鼎鼎的菩提树 一代高僧多才多艺的弘一法师李叔同在泉州弘法修持是最长的。丰子恺、潘天寿均为其门下,下面的歌词即为丰子恺抄录。([]

每年至少游一个地方,是这几年一直所追求的。当然,都是自由行。2011年去过新疆,进行过一天的徒步,就被这种旅行方式深深吸引,全身心地投入,去感觉大自然对身体和心灵的冲击和洗礼,让所有的一切得到彻底的放松,徒步游的种子已在心底发芽。一直在网上找各种徒步线路,国内的、国外的。尼泊尔的几条徒步线路闻名世界,其中以ABC、ACT、EBC最为代表。EBC线路大都在5000米以上,最担心高反无法适应,ABC和ACT都是比较好的选择,有逐步适应的过程。选择很久,攻略看了N多,决定进行安娜普尔纳大环(ACT)徒步,原旅伴都因各种原因无法成行,一咬牙,决定个人独自前往,路上再找旅伴。而且因为是一个人,仗着身体素质好,ACT也成熟,决定不找向导,不雇背夫,挑战一下重装徒步大环。除了新疆一天漫步式的徒步,个人从来没有其它户外经验,重装徒步更是没有经历过,心里还是有点发毛,临行前几天加入了一个QQ背包客群,找到了一个和我同一线路的旅伴,就这样,开始我人生第一次重装徒步行。 尼泊尔徒步线路众多,被称为徒步者的天堂,一点也不为过,而安娜普尔纳大环线则被誉为“世界第一徒步线路”。确实,一圈走下来,深切地感受到了她的魅力。先把行程列一下,给想去的朋友一个参考:第一天:加德满都—Besisahar—Syange,乘车13小时;第二天:Syange—Dharapani,徒步9小时,行程21公里,上升850米;第三天:Dharapani—Bhratang,徒步10.5小时,行程23公里,上升950米;第四天:Bhratang—Ngawal,徒步10小时,行程17公里,上升830米;第五天:Ngawal—Manang,徒步3小时,行程10公里,下降140米;第六天:Manang—Tilicho Base Camp,徒步7.5小时,行程16公里,上升660米;第七天:Tilicho Base Camp—Tilicho Lake—Sheree Kharka,徒步10小时,先上升1000米,再下降1150米;第八天:Sheree Kharka—Letdar,徒步8小时,行程13公里,上升150米;第九天:Letdar—High Camp,徒步7小时,行程7公里,上升650米;第十天:High Camp—Thorung Pass—Muktinath,徒步6.5小时,行程14公里,先上升566米,后下降1600米;Muktinath—Jomsom—Ghasa,乘车5小时;行程49公里;第十一天:Ghasa—Tatopani ,乘车3小时,Tatopani—Ghorepani,徒步7小时,行程17公里,上升1700米;第十二天:Ghorepani—Poonhill—Ghorepani—Nayapul,徒步10小时,行程16公里,先上升330米,后下降2230米。在加德满都“New Bus Station”乘车去传统徒步起点BESISAHAR,一点也看不出是新公交车站的味道,车站破旧,车也破旧,但人还是很友善的,这个感觉,在尼泊尔整个行程中都能感受到。路上堵车是家常便饭,尼泊尔全境就没有几条公路,所有去尼泊尔旅游的人要有心理准备。当然,有飞机的地方,乘机是最快的选择,但尼泊尔的飞机安全吗?心里打鼓,2012年9月28还掉了一架。尼泊尔的卡车都很具有观赏性,都类似这样跟大篷车似的 到了BESISAHAR后,原徒步起点从这开始,但现在已经开始往里修路了,大部分人会继续乘车,我们也在BESISAHAR换乘,一辆公交挤满了人,挤不进的就坐车顶。不过,坐在车顶,必须具备两项条件,一是技术好,因为在山路,车子在行进过程中不断摇晃,而且幅度不小,要当心被晃下来;二是心理素质,这车在山路上行走,一边就是靠着悬崖,下边是滚滚的河水,有时车轮离悬崖不到30CM,坐在车里都有心惊胆战,在车顶,没有一定的心理素质估计够呛。行至一半,又堵车了,那辆430的公交坏在路边,正好是拐弯路口,所有车不得都停下来。大家注意,在尼泊尔山区,公交的底盘比越野车的底盘要高得多,往往很多越野车过不去的,公交车反而能过,当然,这是指专门在山区里通行的公交车。有几位老外等不了啦,干脆背起包来走人,反正是来徒步的与我们同车的俄罗斯小妞干脆当起了模特就这样,我们折腾到晚上8点才到SYNGE,基本上旅店都没满了,顶着头灯找了一家住下,没热水洗澡,随便吃点东西,擦擦身体睡了,听了一晚的浪涛声,第二天早晨起来,才发现住在了河边。第二天的早餐,煮土豆加奶茶,配点自己带去的榨菜,心里觉得土豆含淀粉高,热量必然高,能应付徒步的消耗出发时的背负,毕竟是新驴,这种背负让我第一天就差点崩溃。胸前挂着小包和相机,大包在肩带紧紧贴着肩膀,整个负重都在肩和脖子上,大包腰带是松的,老驴一看就知道背负不对。刚出发时还是这么意气风发的样子。徒步开始,我的新伙伴--阿健,一路上多亏他照顾,才让我顺利完成大环徒步。看了这张照片,才明白为什么叫“驴友”。这大环线上,各个客栈的补给,都是这样人扛驴驮上去的。 前两天的路,都是这样山清水秀空气好,除了有时会闻到驴粪味,至少还是乡野的气味。没有城市中的喧嚣和汽车尾气的污染。我们几乎都是每天上午7点出发,下午2-5点到目的地。这是我们经过的第一个之字坡。大环线上,这种之字坡比比皆是,这种比较缓的坡走起来还不太费劲,后面有几个之字坡,走的差点让人崩溃。 前面山谷中的村庄是JAGAT,是大环线上第一个比较大的村镇。路上碰到去上学的学生,很大方地合影。尼泊尔虽然经济落后,但对教育十分重视,我们经过的地方,最好的房子基本上都是学校,而且全免费教学,学生统一着装,走出来看着都赏心悦目。这些学生上午10点上课,下午4点放学,每天往返需要走路2个多小时,真是很辛苦。但看他们,脸上都洋溢着笑容,很能感染人。阿建同志跟同学们在亲切交谈,尽管他的英语水平很差,但孩子们还是觉得他很帅,愿意交谈。在这山区里,一般都是几个村庄才一所学校,因此大多数孩子上学都得翻山越岭,一趟要一个多小时。到一JAGAT村口。这些村庄,除了日常农作外,大部分都兼营客栈,以接待越来越多的徒步者。一路上,村里的客栈大都很漂亮,而且干净,尤其是被鲜花装点,别有一番风味,让人流连。客栈的老板娘和她的孩子,看到他们我们照相,很友善地对着我们微笑,那孩子笑容中带着些羞涩,但都是那么真诚,我明白了,为什么那个写尼泊尔的书名叫《尼泊尔的微笑》,朴实的笑容确实打动了我。 过了JAGAT,路过的瀑布逐渐增多在这种山清水秀的地方徒步,真是一种享受辛苦的背夫。他们的背负能力真的很强大,背着这么重的东西,比大部分徒步者都快,而且基本上都穿着拖鞋。这两位的拖鞋算是很好的,穿人字拖走大环的背夫占大多数。而这种背负就是专门用来搬运石头用的。中午12点左右,我们到达CHAMCHE,只是简单地吃了路餐,便继续赶路了。走出村口约一公里后,我们发现河对岸也有一条路,而且徒步者明显比这边多,怀疑自己是否走错路。后来才知道,我们走的这条是新开的路,传说大环线要修公路,估计是真的。但为了保险起见,我们还是打算去走老路。我们返回CHAMCHE,在村里一个不起眼的地方找到了老路的路口。感觉这样的路才是真正徒步的线路,在公路上走算怎么回事呀。我们走的第一座铁索桥。在大环线上,这种铁索桥很多,走起来晃悠悠的。 我们还在桥上照相的时候,遇到了昨天同车前来的俄罗斯姑娘。她们本来没有背夫,后来感觉重装无法走完大环,昨晚临时在住宿的地方雇了村里的背夫,费用好像也比较低,一个背夫一天700卢比(约50多元人民币)。但如果要保险一些,还是跟当地旅行社雇用背夫,能订合同,不满意还可以投诉退款。天下驴友是一家,见面了自然很高兴。 这种路走起来有点费劲,落脚点不实在。 哥俩第一次合影。有飞流直下三千尺的感觉。我曾经在《中国国家地理》杂志上看到过这幅图,当时惊为天堂的徒步环境。现在,这座挺拔险峻的山峰拦腰被切了一段路,山体和植被完全被破坏,给这美丽的山谷添了一道永远无法弥补的伤疤。从理智上,我也知道山里的人要发展经济,改善生活,但看到这一幕,还是不自觉地感到心痛。([]

等陆续在第二,三页更新>20岁前,勾画着梦想,20过后,遥不可及;25了,觉得梦想就是个屁,快到30,恍然大悟:若真是屁,那么没有梦想,俺连屁都不是!好吧,俺承认俺的粗俗。不过话说回来,俺一直敬仰并尊重着那些默默坚持自己梦想的人们,因为拥有梦想本应被尊重,而当梦想着地,就更应得到尊重,因为梦想不能一直在天上飘着。所以俺在快到三十而不立之时,也选择接接地气。工作多年后,梦想于我是奢侈的,大家都曾像短片老男孩年轻那样有着伟大的梦想,而在现实的奔波中,已经荡然无存,忘了当初的梦想,甚至都不知道什么是梦想了,快奔三了,但我依然年轻,为什么不能在年轻时把梦想抓的更紧些呢?

雾灵山顶的恶搞北京之巅的钢管舞以及以后无数次的恶搞 后来,西湖林成了环保哥云蒙峡奠定了此后环保哥的殊荣也曾,在甸子梁石板烤肉 夜探后河的烤鱼海陀山的不眠夜和每个周末的自驾旅行 而后为了深度环游中国,2011年末尝试第一次骑行买“白鹅”后第一次远行北京到秦皇岛一夜340公里的“遭罪” 可只为听那海的声音后来平遥之旅追寻着爱……………………………………………… --------------------------------------此分界线后,想哪说哪,拍啥贴啥,可能直播很久,具体多久,俺也不清楚,但绝不太监--------------------------------------《前传》 出发前,北京的十年很重要,容俺回顾下: 生命中不可磨灭的一个十年,此后就离俺远去,记录下俺的这个十年。 2011年冬的某个周末,滑雪追尾,韧带扭伤,休息了个把礼拜,想了很多,意识到要做的事太多;以前大部分时间都在为别人忙活,真正为自己那点子所谓的梦想并没多去把握,而是一再修正一再拖延,追其所以,可能并没那么洒脱,豁达,牵盼太多。 2012来了,奔三迫在眉睫,却依然…… 只是留下了很多快乐和追求快乐的心态。 02年来京求学正好10年,回顾十年,依稀记得那个刚背包迈出西站,仰望高楼车流,乳臭未干的青年。 光辉的大学留下一堆朋友和一道手腕疤痕和无尽的回忆素材与谈资; 未毕业,先在国内某原创动漫做了半年动画,年少轻狂选择离开技术,而现实的逼迫离开了最初的艺术梦想; 其后广告公司上班1年有余,中途和公司老板及朋友弄B2C,在人流中低头不见双脚的双井,开了家实体店,却因个人,网购方向,市场等尚未成熟,失败告终; 期间接着读广告学学位,那时脑袋进水,或是被门挤了,为了中途开饭店,学业未遂。饭店的关闭,至此经历着人生一段低估,无所事事,对生活惶恐,命运再次转折; 为了谋生,进入一家房产公司,在经济楼市低潮的07年底08年初,一个月卖出资产达千万的三套房子,可能即将荣升店长之时,似乎自己和自己又开了一个玩笑,选择了离开; 重整旗鼓继续从事广告,而这次选择了广告业务,大概半年,觉得不能默默无闻,选择离开; 随后一直经营着一家广告公司至今,客户也算行业内数一数二的,但为了内心那个声音,现今只能暂时关掉,断掉自己的后路,背水一战。 写这个经历,或许是想给自己一个放弃现在生活,重新开始的理由,只需要一个微不足道的理由。 记得当时还是看尼尔斯骑鹅旅行记的那个年龄,趴在家里书桌旁,眼望窗外,想着有一天我也要像尼尔斯一样去旅行,去看看这个世界。 所以走出了湖北,来到了北京求学,这么一来就是十年。 而今又回到了原点,依然怀揣着最初的梦想:是想去看看这个世界,看看自己生活的位置,看看外边的精彩和无奈。 也许一年也许两年,但肯定的是我再次和自己开了一个玩笑,一个让自己睡觉都能笑醒的玩笑。 等俺旅行回来,会去赡养父母,结婚生子,相妇教子。 这个十年于我最大的收获就是: 学会了对自己诚实!上段写的比较长,这一段用个词语总结下就是:不着调 《拼音》bùzháodiào 《解释》北方方言。 1 比喻说话、做事不着边际,不靠谱的把公司关掉,骑着单车深度环游中国; 2 形容一个生活在北京十年的80后,丢掉北京十年积淀的一切,去完成三十岁之前的一个梦想,从头开始。《 示例》关掉公司 峰子骑鹅环中国 俺叫它:圆梦之旅《主淫》 80后85前,小名:峰子,坐骑:白鹅。湖北襄阳人士。 十年来一直独居北京,热衷疯玩、瞎掰、自虐、骑车、徒步,行动迟缓于思想。《生活现状》 关掉公司的不着调旅行者。 多年的北京流浪生涯,从事过多种职业:学生,动画师,设计师,电子商务,饭店老板,房产经纪,广告业务,公司法人。《附属品》 新浪微博@骑鹅的峰子(同步直播)《时间》2012年4月 至 2013……2014…… 如果玛雅预言失败。。。感谢卡 钱不是问,没钱是有问的。北京户外2年有余,圈内认识不少领队和品牌代理,朋友都说,为何不找些赞助,曾也考虑过。但旅行本身是自由的一件事儿,不想自己的梦想太商业化,故不考虑商业赞助。 当然,一年半载的旅程,经济也是要考虑的。钱毕竟有限,所以如果您在俺途径的某个地方,只希望在不打扰到您的情况下,您能提供俺一个沙发,一个地板,抑或一个可供扎帐篷的角落,俺就泪牛满面了。 当然,俺最想结识的是途中遇见的每个朋友,这是您对俺最大的帮助!感谢卡:正面背面整理装备 出发今天把散落在家里各角落的装备捯饬起来,整理真是费时费事的事,伤不起啊!没个女秘更是伤不起啊!选个良辰吉日出发!不多说,有图有真相,有木有?大部分都是陪俺走过大江南北的古董了!数码:笔记本(1),上网卡(1),移动硬盘(1),耳机(1),单反(1),卡片(1),手机(1),移动电源(1),插线板(1),三脚架(1),手电(1),尾灯(1);住宿:帐篷(1),睡袋(2),地席(1),防潮垫(1);厨具洗漱:套锅(1),油炉(1),挡风板(1),水杯(2),调料瓶(2),水袋(1),藏刀(1),洗漱套装(1),刮胡刀(1),吹风机(1);衣服:头盔(1),骑行裤头(2),速干裤头(2),速干内衣长袖(2),速干内衣长裤(1),抓绒上衣(1),抓绒裤(1),羽绒服(2),速干T恤(2),衬衣(1),冲锋衣(1),冲锋裤(1),软壳上衣(1),速干裤(1),牛仔裤(1),袜子(3),徒步鞋(1),运动鞋(1),拖鞋(1),分体雨衣(1);护具:魔术头巾(2),头套(1),帽子(2),眼镜(1),手套(3),护膝(1),套袖(1);修理:气筒(1),外胎(1),内胎(1),修车工具套装(1),刹车线(1),变速线(1),魔术扣螺丝(若干),补胎片(若干),链条油(1);药品:路上现买《理论路线》目录第一部分出京

上午1033莫名出发了,说莫名其实是没有计划,一切随事情进度来办;前些天,为剪辑视频,和同学耽误了几天,所以推迟;不过还好,开始的准备都没有按部就班,而是超长弄完,为此感谢几个朋友和同学,熬了尽一个礼拜通宵。 前夜,没有以前任何一次出行的兴奋,但还是无眠,辗转反侧。早上神奇般醒来,冥冥之中,自有安排吧。惺散开车出门,把要精简的银行卡都搞定,吃了早餐,回来卷好铺盖,就出发了。

本次全部行程17晚19天,意大利和瑞士2个国家,罗马开始,苏黎世结束,其中意大利部分的行程如下:DAY01 夜宿罗马--DAY02 斗兽场、帕拉迪诺山、古罗马广场、坎皮多里欧广场、威尼斯广场等--DAY03 梵蒂冈博物馆、圣彼得大教堂、圣天使城堡--DAY04 真理之口、纳沃纳广场、花之田野广场、万神殿、许愿池、西班牙广场等--DAY05 佛罗伦萨中央市场、圣母百花大教堂、市政厅广场、老桥、米开朗琪罗广场等--DAY06 五渔村 Cinque Terre一日hiking--DAY07 威尼斯小巷闲逛--DAY08 玻璃岛、彩色岛、圣马可广场、圣马可教堂、傍晚刚朵拉--DAY09 米兰大教堂、艾曼纽埃莱二世大街,出发去瑞士,夜宿Lugano到意大利自由行的想法早就有了,07年第一次出国游的首站就是罗马,正所谓初恋的感觉总是美好的,意大利特别是罗马在我心里有一种特殊的意义,无奈当时是跟团游,虽然是个小团,依然无法逃离旅行团走马观花的无奈,蜻蜓点水般在各个著名景点点了一圈之后就回国了,留下了遗憾也埋下了本次旅行的伏笔。由于lz码子功力比较逊,希望各位看官有点耐心,慢慢等lz更新完毕,照片非常多,工程浩大啊,希望各位看帖之余给点鼓励,在此对给评分的各位一并感谢了!有些文字摘自我朋友以前做的攻略,介绍内容不少来自网友的游记,特此注明。各位的评论有的回的比较慢,也请大家谅解! 从当时在许愿池扔下硬币算起已有6年时间,期间各种事情、各种忙碌,今年做旅行计划的时候,意大利终于进入了我们的攻略中,此外还有跟它接壤的美丽花园瑞士,全部行程17晚19天,其中意大利8晚、瑞士9晚,为了叙述方便,意大利、瑞士行程分2帖分别分享。本来的计划是意大利9晚、瑞士5晚,无奈不靠谱的北京意大利使馆今年对申根白本采取1天只给1个面机会的政策,导致北京意基本成为Mission Impossible!好在可以去瑞士使馆,不过要求在瑞士停留时间最长,于是稍微修改了行程和booking之后,顺利拿下了申根,使馆贴心地给了25天的旅行证,因为离出发还有2个月,机票和意铁也都订到了优惠的价格,考虑在瑞士呆的时间较长,买了8天连续通票(这个全年统一价,没啥优惠了)。一切就绪,只待出发!说意大利(连同梵蒂冈)是神的国度是有原因的,罗马及周边不小的区域在中世纪的相当长一段时间内作为教皇国存在,教皇不但是天主教的领袖,同时也是是作为世俗政权的“国王”,一直到1861年,教皇国的绝大部分领土被并入撒丁王国,即后来的意大利王国。1870年罗马城也被并入意大利,教皇国领土退缩至梵蒂冈。教皇庇护十一世时期,墨索里尼在1929年与教廷枢机主教加斯佩里订拉特兰条约,罗马教廷正式承认教皇国灭亡。所以今天走在罗马街头依然能感受到浓浓的宗教气息,宗教相关的志也是很常见的。 DAY01-法兰克福转机、夜宿罗马一早起来就赶奔首都机场T3航站楼,怕误机提前了3个小时到了机场,2件托运行李将将卡在限重的上限,随后一路顺利的办完通关手续,在国际候机区的必胜客慢悠悠地吃了个早餐,然后来到登机口,发现航班是A380,算是个小惊喜吧,当时在携程抢的特价票,不知道是什么机种,长途飞行还是大飞机比较舒服一点,起码没那么颠簸。这架就是我们要乘的航班。我们是在法兰克福转机到罗马,飞法兰克福将近10个小时,比直飞的13个小时左右还是稍微轻松一些,机上的娱乐设施还是不错的,电影都比较新,足够旅程上看了,整个航程基本就是不断看电影,上饮料、上吃的、上厕所、接着看电影,困了眯一会儿……如此循环,主要看了遗忘战境、After Earth、怪兽大学,然后也就到法兰克福了。 落地后,转机时间只有不到2个小时,还要过一遍安检、入申根的检查,还是挺紧凑的,法兰克福机场设施感觉很一般,有的地方还有异味,路指示也马马虎虎吧,总之在忙忙碌碌的走了很长的距离后,终于办完了所有手续,赶到去罗马的登机口,候机的人群中明显可以看到宗教界人士,一群嬷嬷更是显眼了。飞罗马这班汉莎的广播里有日语,看来意大利是日本人传统的旅游热门地,而且我和老婆也被空乘认成日本人,跟我们用日语打招呼,懒得解释就笑了笑。我们边上坐了一个欧洲大叔,不停地拿着手上的小单反拍这拍那,老哥似乎是个记录控。我掏出攻略先准备一下降落后要办的事情,正在看买机场大巴票时,边上老哥开始跟我聊起来,从大巴票开始,老哥就开始话唠了,用北欧口音的英语聊起他要去的西西里,以及他以前在意大利玩儿过的地方,又聊起他的前女友等等等等,基本上聊着聊着,2小时的飞行就结束了……这老哥叫Gimo(音),是芬兰人,估摸着小50了,依然有文艺青年的情怀,反正我觉得他的心态还是个20岁的人,他一个前女友是意大利人,所以老哥会说一些意大利语,后来老哥在航站楼里问路时候秀了一把他的芬兰式意大利语,貌似还说的不错,本地人都听得懂。落地罗马以后Gimo还是跟我们一路,他也要坐大巴去Termini中央车站,老哥干脆当起了向导,其实我们自己走没问,不过既然他这么热情我们也不好推辞,一边聊一边走。这里也提一下罗马的菲乌米奇诺国际机场,07年来的时候只是觉得设施一般,这次等行李简直可以用痛苦来形容,提取区面积小,设施旧,人多还挺热,很多航班的行李混在一起,转盘上的都是很早之前的行李,转来转去也没人拿,转盘周围挤满了人,个个望眼欲穿。好不容易站到转盘边上,不一会感觉身体被人挤,回头居然是跟我一个航班中的嬷嬷中的一个,基本是最胖的一个,一劲儿挤,为了避免这么不雅的场面,我主动退却了,跑到边上。当我大汗淋漓地挤在行李转盘时,老婆跑去拍一个穿着婚纱到达的的意大利姑娘了,人家还挺配合,主动摆了个Pose。 等了n久终于提到了行李箱,跟着Gimo找到卖机场大巴票的柜台,5欧一张的票还算合理,候车区从大厅走出来路边就是了,这里的环境还真是像国内了,地上烟头不少,还有点脏脏的痕迹。终于呼吸到新鲜空气(不准确,有不少大巴尾气)的Gimo忍不住掏出了烟。 这个角落这是跟国内有一比啊,好在没发现痰,似乎不随地吐痰是老外的底线了。一张合影,不过用超广角镜头把老婆拍胖了…… 从菲乌米契诺机场到中央车站Termini花了将近1个小时,到达Termini时天已经完全黑了,在此跟Gimo要分手了,他和我们定的酒店方向相反,说了一堆感谢的话后,握手分别。因为离定的酒店不是很远,我们决定直接走过去,路过地上坐着黑人的后街时心里还真的有一丝紧张,Termini后面这条街路面不是很平坦,旅行箱的轮子在上面发出挺大的噪音,有时还有上下坡,貌似不远的距离走的我们很疲惫,看看手表已经是当地时间晚上9点40多了(该死的航班延误和超慢的行李提取!),本来计划晚上在酒店附近转转的计划是彻底没戏了,能在10点前感到酒店就阿弥陀佛了。由于订的是B&B,没有24小时的Reception,出发前通过邮件告知了航班号,手机号等信息,但是眼看快10点了,有点担心有没有人等我们,此时lz的手机不知道为什么无法拨通,想给家人报个平安都没成,第二天才好,现在也不知道为什么。离10点还差几分钟时,我们终于看到了酒店的大门,人还没到门口,大门先开了,里面探出一个大胡子光头,我们对视了1秒,老哥先开口了:“Mr. T*** from China?”“Yes。”我这话一出口,老哥深深地输了一口气,一脸如释重负状地招手:“Come in,please。”呵呵,这哥们表情、肢体语言丰富,而且为人极度热情,让客人心生暖意,何况我和老婆还是刚刚经历了将近1天的旅途呢。简单聊了聊,听了这个光头大胡子的Max介绍基本设施和早餐之后,终于可以休息了!这张是临走时拍的,Max绝对是我们此行中遇到的最热情洋溢的店主,大叔灿烂的笑脸让人难以忘怀。 DAY02 古迹大暴走:斗兽场-帕拉迪诺山-古罗马广场-坎皮多里欧广场-图拉真广场-威利斯广场-斗兽场夜景经过一晚的休整,精神终于缓过来了,6点钟开始洗漱,7点20便出发吃早餐。这家B&B的早餐是在街角的一家小Bar供应的,名叫Bar Trani,除了我们俩都是当地人,意大利人的早点很简单,就是站着来杯Espresso,最多再加个点心,比如我们点的蝴蝶酥或者牛角包之类的,老婆要的是橙汁,因为颜色是偏红色的,开始还有疑问,服务生见我一脸问号又确认了是橙汁。说到这里不得不提门口的一只狗狗,我们在罗马住了4晚,吃了4次早餐,只有最后一天没有碰到这只狗狗,意大利的街边不少地方都有栓狗的地方,狗狗也都很懂事地呆在原地等主人。吃着早餐看着狗,应该是对望吧,也许这里平时游客不多,它有点好奇。 不到8点到达了地铁A线的Emmanuelle二世站,入口很好找,自动售票机选择英语之后非常好看懂,投币,选择票数就OK了,跟国内的自动售票机没啥区别,票价单程的就很合算(除了比全球无敌低的北京地铁票价比高以外)票90分钟内有效,出站就失效了。由于当天是周日,地铁里人很少,轻松愉快地到了Closseo站,出了站迎面就是斗兽场了。说到此处又想到07年万恶的跟团游啊,当时跟着导游也是从这里出站,只给了20分钟照相时间,进斗兽场里面是想也别想,外面照相都紧赶慢赶,顶着头顶的乌云匆匆捏了2张准到此一游照,满是遗憾地走了,电脑里现在还存着那时满脸愁容的旧照,那时就想我迟早还会来一趟,如今实现了。下图是意大利特色涂鸦地铁…… Closseo B口出来就有饮水口,可以直接饮用。罗马及意大利很多地方都提供这样的设施,有的出水口还挺有特点。 Closseo斗兽场是830开放,8点刚过就有几十米的队排在门口了,人虽然不少但很有秩序,连大声说话的都没有,基本上从上了飞机开始生活就进入了低音量模式,后面到了瑞士就更加地明显。买斗兽场(Closseo)+帕拉迪诺山(Palatino)+古罗马广场(Foro Romano)的联票才12欧元,3个景点足足够逛一天的,合不到100人民币,相比之下,国内某些人满为患景点打票价就过于坑爹了!刚开始旅程心情激动,相机头几张都放在M档没调回来,后来发现统统过曝,后期修修算是挽救一下吧。加一张晚上同地点的对比,因为懒得抗三脚架,所以在地铁出口处一个类似配电箱的地方摆拍的,这招以后用到了了不少地方的夜景拍摄,统统没用三脚架,至于构图不理想的,都是回来以后后期剪裁的。拿着票开始游览,票要保存好,后面到帕拉迪诺山和古罗马广场还都要用到。上到二层,里面有个君士坦丁大帝的主展,随便转了转,拍了几张就冲到看台去了。 这个是古罗马时代的马赛克画 斗兽场屹立了2000年,不得不佩服古罗马工程师的伟大,混凝土就是罗马人发明的。讽刺的是对斗兽场破坏最大的不是所谓的野蛮人,而是罗马人自己。据说在中世纪时,斗兽场的石料不断被拆走当做其他建筑的建材。 斗兽场看着很雄伟,不过转来转去基本都差不多,随着时间的推移,进来的游客也是越来越多,想找个人少的地方拍照也越发困难起来。作为世界最著名的旅游圣地之一,罗马常年都是游客如织,旅游旺季就更是如此,好在我们是来自世界人口密度最高的国度,挤过北京上海的地铁,经历过各种人潮人海的洗礼,所以非常适应,何况人家这里秩序还是不错的,基本没见过插队,抢行等行为。 基本上罗马的古迹都会跟天主教发生联系,万神殿就是因为改成教堂早而保留的最好,斗兽场里也有宗教的印记,比如这个大大的十字架和外立面上的识。到过罗马的同志们都知道,真是白天看庙晚上睡觉,在街上逛着逛着就一个教堂,最常见的物件就是十字架、圣母像、天使、教皇的识这类的。不能免俗,照几张留念照吧:) 整个斗兽场有不少零星的残件,动辄1、2千年的年头,历史沧桑感迎面扑来有没有,同是文明古国,我国的很多东西都只存在于史书或者传说中了,“土木”建筑嘛,保存期有限那,没法和爱用石头的古罗马比…… 气势恢宏,尽管已是残骸。 外面逛烦了,又回到建筑里,看展览的游客明显多了起来,主要是模型和一些小的实物,有时间的可以仔细看看,英文介绍还是很详细的。这个模型做的还是不错的,罗马保留的凯旋门还是不少,联票的经典就能看3座,唯一遗憾的是君士坦丁凯旋门在维修+_+,随着旅程的前进,发现很多经典在维修=_=,脚手架成了我们照片中的常客…… 全盛时期的罗马帝国疆域。 出来没多久就被烈日晒脱水了,当天气温高达35度,猛烈的阳光不经遮挡直射下来。撑不住了,只好在黑心的景区摊买了冰饮料,这瓶价格高达4欧的佳得乐真是金贵了,其实同样的东西在罗马超市里才1欧。 晃了2个多小时,和老婆商量后决定去下一站,古罗马权贵的别墅区帕拉迪诺山。维修中的君士坦丁凯旋门…… 回头再看一眼雄伟的建筑 在路上常常能看到骑行的队伍,今天就看到2次,在这样的蓝天和空气质量下尽情运动,对国人来说真是奢侈品…… 沿着君士坦丁凯旋门那条大路,跟着人流很快就到了帕拉迪诺山的入口,这3个景点联票设置的很科学,一个接一个,出口接入口(帕拉迪诺山入口稍微远一点),以前看到有驴友没找到帕拉迪诺山的入口,可能是没好好看地图吧。 进了入口,老婆和我已经累的坐下了,当天35度左右的温度,罗马无污染的空气使阳光显得格外猛烈,没抹防晒的lz夫妇被晒的皮肤发红,感觉这种日照已经赶上马尔代夫的阳光了。 拱形建筑的遗迹 随处可见的意大利特色松树。

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([]
