写下这个我就感觉有点矫情,咱一个平民百姓,既不是李白更不是乾隆皇帝,用这样的的口气似乎有点不知天高地厚,但于我来说,这四月清明来扬州,除了这句话外,一时还真没想起其他合适,于是就斗胆借用一次,反正现在李白、皇帝也都不在了,随他去吧。 清明小长假,影友们都去皖南“发春”了,我不想再走一次重复的路线,于是就想着“另辟蹊径”,去哪儿呢?三天时间也只能在周边走走,于是想到了去兴化看垛田油菜花,但从兴化影友那里得知今年春来迟,清明期间油菜花还没冒影子呢,只得再改线路,于是乎,扬州这备选线路就被列入了计划。做好决定后立刻上网买了往返火车票,扬州,我来了! “故人西辞黄鹤楼, 烟花三月下扬州。 孤帆远影碧空尽, 唯见长江天际流。” 俺就把李白的这首诗,权当做是送俺的吧。嘻嘻~~~ 4月1—2日 晚上1155的车,为了赶最晚一班公交车(俺们徐州除了1路公交外,最晚的公交车是晚上1030),1030就到了车站,反正带了书,就坐在候车室里看《藏地孤旅》,火车晚点,候车的人内心烦躁,唏嘘不已,我反倒不着急,晚点就晚点,看书呗。1220,列车进站了,候车的旅客蜂拥而入,检票员根本没法检票,我有卧铺票,自然不着急,顺顺当当的上了车。这趟车的列车员很是勤快,每到一站就在车厢里吆喝着到哪个哪个站了,我就奇怪了,卧铺车都是换了牌的,半夜三更的,谁下车你叫谁不就得了,你这一吆喝,全车厢的人都醒了,经她这么一折腾,这一夜我几乎没睡成觉,真是郁闷。 清晨730,火车到站了,出站便联系表弟,他已帮我订好了住处,按照表弟短信的“指引”很快就到了宾馆,放下行李换了行装便开始了我的扬州之旅。扬州火车站我是第一次到,知道这是一个新建启用不久的车站,没想到有那么新,真和徐州高铁站有得一拼,除了火车和公交车,什么车都没有,附近连个便利店都没有,我下车想买张地图都没地儿买,要不是表弟事先帮我预定好宾馆,下车后找住处都够我折腾半天的。 只有两趟公交车的扬州火车站广场 下了火车乘坐26路公交车进市区,一路过来全是风光带,城市绿地搞的很漂亮,一看就是新区,人气不旺,市容不错,也很整洁,就俩字:干净。这和扬州人的固有生活习惯应该有关,老扬州人不是有“早上皮包水,晚上水包皮”一说嘛,这干净还真是扬州人的一大特点。 26路坐到文昌阁,打车到了表弟帮我订的中江嘉和苑里的嘉庆宾馆,这里交通很方便,到了宾馆放下行李坐5路公交车直奔瘦西湖。 瘦西湖02年单位5.1组织活动时我到过一次,那次是雨中匆匆行游瘦西湖,已经十年过去了,这次再游,发现瘦西湖已远不是一个小小的湖了,而变成了瘦西湖风景区。扬州这十年的变化也是惊人的,瘦西湖虽然“瘦”,但有李白和乾隆皇帝“撑腰”,来此的游人数量也多了N倍,特别是清明小长假期间,整个园里都是人,用接踵而至已经不能形容游人之多了,“烟花三月下扬州,游人蜂拥挤断桥”,是这次瘦西湖游览的真实写照。 既来之,则玩之。你挤你的,我玩我的,心态不能受影响,人实在太多我就不拍照了,坐湖边自己看景,发呆,调整自己心态,不跟旅行团屁股走,尽量躲开人群多的地方,景区里的背景音乐成了我舒缓情绪的“良方”,耳朵里听着音乐,眼中不去看人,心情随着风景走,也还算没完全被败坏掉心情。 从瘦西湖东门进来后,沿湖先往南走,湖边白玉兰和连翘盛开,白色和黄色,桃花也在开放中,但湖边更多的是棠梨花和垂柳,花红柳绿连翘黄,配上那幽静的湖水,还是很美滴。瘦西湖东门 万花园 一.百花争春 。。。。。。。。 。。。。。。。。 。。。。。。。。。 。。。。。。。。。 这次游览瘦西湖没跟着导游蹭听,完全自己瞎转,也不去管那些所谓的景点故事了,只按照人少的原则随意的转悠,只赏景不听讲了。其实瘦西湖那些个故事听与不听对我来说不重要,我欣赏的是那美景而不是乾隆喜欢哪里不喜欢哪里,我想找的是我的感觉,与他老人家无关。走累了就随意找个地方坐坐,中间在景区游客中心看到几个卖陶笛的年轻人,边卖边吹奏,那独特的音色吸引了我,干脆找个椅子坐下来闭目倾听,这种“享受”已经很久没有了,能在风景优美的瘦西湖边听到这样美妙的乐曲,真是惬意。姐游的不是景点,是心境。“两堤花柳全依水,一路楼台直到山”。二.湖光泛影 。。。。。。。。。 瘦西湖风景片暂告一段落,下午去临沂拍约稿片片,等俺周一回来再继续扬州行~~~XDJM们,特此告假~~~瘦西湖景区里不仅有美丽的湖光山色,还有秀美的古典园林,这也是观赏瘦西湖风景的内容之一。三.清幽园林 这是瘦西湖景区里最高峰顶上的风亭,春风吹来,亭角的风铃叮咚作响,美妙动听。 小金山,瘦西湖最著名园林景观。小金山又称长春岭,位于瘦西湖狭长河道的顶点上,由历代挖湖后的泥堆积成岭,登高极目,全湖景色尽收眼底。文人雅士看中此地,构堂叠石代有增添,至清代成为瘦西湖最引人处。有“湖上蓬莱”之称。近人巧取瘦西之“瘦”,小金山之“小”,点明扬州园林之妙在于巧“借”:借得西湖一角,堪夸其瘦;移来金山半点,何惜乎小。岭上为风亭,连同岭下的琴室、月观,近处的吹台,远景近收,近景烘托,把整个瘦西湖景区装扮的比“借”用的原景多了许多妩媚之气。门口伫立的两个笑狮是很罕见的。为求喜气,来此的游客都会摸上一摸。 借取西湖一角堪夸其瘦;移来金山半点何惜乎小。就为欣赏这陶笛的美妙之声,俺在那闭目静坐了一个小时。 著名的熙春台,现在是茶楼,进去另外购票。 二十四桥名联 静香书屋 转完湖边又沿着瘦西湖北边的新景区游览,这里有一个绝好的去处——盆景博物馆。虽说俺不懂园林和盆景艺术,但有此机会观赏一下还是有兴趣的。进入展厅,第一眼看到的是一幅巨型国画。这幅画我拍了5张,现接成3张与大家分享。 。。。。。。 。。。。。 瘦西湖里不仅有盆景博物馆还有年画展览,出游就是让人长见识,不去看还真不知中国的年画有这么多门类和风格。山东杨家埠年画四川绵竹年画。绵竹曾是地震灾区,印象里重建后的绵竹好像是按苏州江南风格建造的新城,不知是不是和苏州桃花坞有什么关联。 瘦西湖景区里除了有万花园,有湖光山色,有清幽园林,有盆景年画展外,还有一处特殊景观——法海寺。佛塔古刹法海寺,又名莲性寺,建于隋唐、重建于元代,有着1000多年的历史,是全省惟一的净律双修尼众道场。它与白塔、银杏构成了一个完整的旅游景点组合。 。。。。。。。

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([
这段旅行发生在2009年9月底。每次听到马丘比丘都会联想到宫崎骏笔下的《天空之城》。因为马丘比丘(Machu Picchu)也像是一座云中的城堡,海拔2430米。和宫崎骏的Laputa一样,她神秘的隐藏了几百年,只在当地人的传说中提到。直到1911年才被美国耶鲁大学的一位历史学家发现,从而把她带到了西方人的眼中。今天,马丘比丘是南美洲最重要的考古发掘中心,也是秘鲁最受欢迎的旅游景点,每天接待来自世界各地的朝圣者。2007年马丘比丘被评为新世界7大奇迹之一。让我带着你们从古印加帝国的首都库斯科(Cuzco)出发,沿着安第斯山脉中的印加古道,走向神秘的“失落的印加城市”马丘比丘。 这次的筹备工作做了很久。秘鲁政府为了保护古迹,限制每天进入印加古道的人数。所以得提前3个月通过网上在一家当地的向导公司预定报名,提前保留进山的许可证。和我同行的是我们登山野营圈的一个朋友,朱哥。其实这次是我把他忽悠来的。我们的飞机先到秘鲁首都利马,到的时候是凌晨4点多。然后入关之后转秘鲁国内的飞机去库斯科(Cuzco)。库斯科是秘鲁西南部的一座海拔3399米的城市,也是古印加帝国的首都。向导公司要求我们必须在进入印加古道之前提前3天入住库斯科,这样可以让身体逐渐适应高海拔的环境。刚下飞机,突然听见音乐声大作。神马情况?只见在库斯科的机场大厅里,一群人穿着当地的民族服装跳起舞来。然后有两个mm来给我们脖子上戴花环。不会是专门为了欢迎我们吧?后来知道是当地旅游局为了欢迎游客搞的。每来一趟班机就跳一场。嘿嘿,虽然不是给我们的专场,但是这热情让我本来困的不行的大脑又兴奋起来。我们入住的旅馆是一个家庭客栈。是我在网上事先订好的。来了之后,发现是个意外的惊喜。原来这个客栈是一个小院别墅改装的。里面的环境非常别致。我们的房间在二楼,从我们的阳台上能看到古城库斯科的全景。 小院的布置非常养眼。有花花草草,别致的小桌。客栈里有自己的厨房,餐厅,提供早餐。平时餐厅就是我们的会所,一边喝着可卡Coca树叶泡的茶,一边和店家聊着天。店主人是个德国老头Hinez,退休之后就搬到了这里来。库斯科基本上没有什么工业,全靠旅游业和农业,高原的空气没有被污染。安顿停当,决定出去觅食。天空中下着毛毛雨,我们走在石头铺的街上。 找到一家小餐馆。看上去很别致。女招待在给朱哥介绍秘鲁的土豆。原来这里是土豆的发源地,有300多个品种。我饿极了。汤一上来就开喝。这是Alpaca肉做的汤。哈哈,待会儿告诉你们这是神马动物!他家的小面包很好吃。秘诀就是用土制的烤炉来烤面包。请看!哒哒... 库斯科的街上有很多富有特色的小店。很有历史留下的韵味。这些巨石垒砌的墙基透露了昔日帝国首都的辉煌。每块巨石之间结合紧密,几乎没有缝隙。库斯科最辉煌的时候是15世纪,在16世纪初1533年西班牙人入侵之前达到巅峰。当时的印加文化有自己的语言,但是没有文字。印加人高超的建筑术就像他们神秘的文化一样在历史的长河中失传了。至今无人知道这些巨石是从哪里采来的,墙基是如何建造的。 市中心的中央广场Plaza de Armas旁边有一个天主教大教堂,是15世纪西班牙人入侵之后建造的。用的石头是把印加人的宗教建筑捣毁之后搬过来的。去向导公司报道交完钱之后,决定找一家好点的餐馆尝尝当地的名菜,烤荷兰猪!对面的这位帅哥的眼神怪怪的。可能是没见过多少中国人吧。这就是著名的烤荷兰猪!吃完之后有点失望,皮有点硬,肉挺少的。 在海拔3399米睡了一晚上之后感觉好多了。第二天在库斯科继续适应高原,参观库斯科附近的海拔3701米的萨克塞华曼(Sacsayhuaman)遗址,一个由古代克立人在1100年用巨石修建的伟大建筑。在印加文明来到库斯科之前,克立人是这里的居民。每个石头之间没有水泥或泥浆来粘结,只靠自然的结合。据猜测这是一座军事城堡,但是已经无从考证。当地导游说如果你不知道怎么发音,就念Sexy Woman。哈哈,这下我记住了!很难想象这些大石头就这样,靠着互相之间的支撑挺过了900年。 晚上去了一家很有特色的当地小餐馆。当地人的主食中主要是土豆,大米。肉类包括牛肉,Alpaca,鱼等。烤荷兰猪只有在节日的时候吃。招待我们的是一个当地的小伙子,英文名字叫Albert,真名我忘了。现在库斯科的居民由麦士蒂索人-殖民时代外来欧洲人和本地人的混血后代,和当地的安第斯山民组成。真正的印加人随着印加文化的消亡也被同化绝迹了。Albert的祖先是麦士蒂索人。秘鲁和很多南美国家一样受殖民时代的影响,她的官方语言是西班牙语。Albert在荷兰来的义工开的学校里学了英语,能跟我们交流。他听说我们是中国人,非常兴奋!Albert邀请我们从马丘比丘回来后到他的店里来庆祝。 进山前的最后一天我们去了当地的一个集市。路上停车休息的时候发现了这种神马!!对,就是咱们网民称之为草泥horse的神兽!这回见到神兽本尊了!其实人家有大名的,左边毛短的叫Llama,驯化后用来当运输工具。(骡子?)中间毛长可爱超萌的叫Alpaca,贡献的是他们身上的毛和肉。他们都是羊驼的一种。无辜的羊驼们,被我们的网民调侃。到了集市自然是一通转悠。两个大老爷们儿逛这里其实很无聊的。MM们应该会很喜欢,因为有很多精美的南美和秘鲁风格的小饰品。哈哈,老爷们儿还是找到了他们喜欢的东西。这种当地的玉米及其美味,粒儿大汁多很嫩。但是卖相不太好看,摊主往上面浇了一砣绿色的稀糊糊的酱。好了打住,你懂的。但是酱的味道很好!朱哥已经迫不及待了! 我们当天晚上没有回库斯科,就在印加古道入口外扎营。向导公司提供了帐篷并选好了营地。我们的队伍到齐了。一共是15个徒步者,2个向导,20个协作加厨师。一起晚餐时大家开始互相介绍认识。一晚上安然无事。醒来看到早晨的阳光照在安第斯山脉的雪峰上,山尖在雾气里时隐时现,煞是壮观!这就是印加古道入口的牌子。我们的徒步队伍包括2个中国人,5个美国人,2个匈牙利人,2个新加坡人,2个澳大利亚人,1个英国人,1个来自百慕大。在这里就不一一赘述了。我在路上慢慢介绍。在入口处登记,每个人都要对护照号。如果没有预定,对不起,请回吧。过了桥就是印加古道了。一共是4天的徒步穿越,期间要翻过海拔4200米的隘口。此时的我兴奋无比,马丘比丘,我来啦!一众人等登记完毕,向着遥远的群山进发。我们的向导一边走一边给我们讲解印加古道的历史。很敬业!另一个队伍的协作在我们后面。向导让我们给他们让路,这些协作虽然背了这么多东西,但是任然行走如飞!我们的协作早走在前面去了!在一个路边小店休息。可爱的安第斯小孩,吃着我们送他的薯片。路上的第一天很轻松。大家在吃午饭的帐篷里有说有笑。朱哥要试试协作的自制的背包。他其实有点像当地人,我是指黑的程度。第一天很轻松,我们很快到了过夜的地方。协作已经把营地收拾好,我们就在附近玩咯!我发现2009年的我那时候是个胖纸,还带个小红帽子。 同队的澳大利亚女孩Lilly-这里称呼她小莉,要给大家照合影。小莉很会搞怪,结果把大家逗乐,被大家反拍!她曾经是澳大利亚女子手球队的成员。手球在她那里是没人看的运动,找不到赞助。她练手球纯粹是自己的爱好。因为队里没钱,澳大利亚也没有体育总局这样的干爹,所以没能来2008年的北京奥运会。第二天早上起来是个好天。今天的路程很艰苦,要翻越4215米的隘口,就是地图上最高的那点。蓝蓝的天空飘白云啊... 山上的天气说变就变!一下子来了一片云,居然下起了小雨。向导让我们几个走的快的先行,到了隘口之后等着后队。我,同队的新加坡夫妇-Elaine爱玲和Rhys锐思,和美国人David大伟,先到了。之后是大伟的老婆Rachel瑞秋。瑞秋是个护士,大伟是个律师。大伟和瑞秋住在北加州旧金山北边的一个小镇上。喜欢搞怪的小莉。这是她的经典表情。 小莉的男盆友Tim提姆。左边是我们的主向导兼队长Juvenal胡文诺-胡哥。两个最年轻的协作,一个19,一个20,忘了他们名字了。走在前面的穿棕色冲锋衣带黄色头巾的是来自纽约大都市的女孩Alison阿狸。阿狸29岁,也是个律师。 来自加州首府沙加缅度的Gloria-葛姐。葛姐在加州政府工作。和当时加州州长阿诺施瓦辛格在一层楼里办公。来自匈牙利的帅锅甲-Laszlo拉兹。2008年受金融危机影响没了工作,干脆出来满世界玩。背着各种摄影器材的朱哥。惭愧,俺在2009年是拿着一个卡片机闯天下。其实现在还是卡片。红衣帅锅是来自英国的Stafford-史大福,在纽约市工作。旁边的是他的未婚妻Laura劳拉,来自百慕大。劳拉的父母是英国人,60年代移民到了百慕大。隘口上的合影!胡哥左边的是来自新加坡的小两口爱玲和锐思。他们俩都是干律师的。我们这拨人里律师特别多。在隘口上我们人都在云里,周围雾蒙蒙的。胡哥怕变天,催促我们立刻往下走。 大家知道最难的路段已经被我们征服了,心情轻松得下撤去今晚的营地。左起:大伟,葛姐,阿狸,拉兹,瑞秋,匈牙利帅锅乙-忘了名字了。别看大伟的职业是个律师,平时自己训练马拉松和铁人三项。在干律师之前,和朋友一起搞了几年乐队。帅锅乙想不起来是干嘛的了。第三天早上大雾弥漫。我们队旁边是一群初中生。胡哥说学校组织他们来走印加古道,相当于秘鲁的爱国主义教育。树梢上凝聚的水滴,是那么的晶莹透彻! 在雾中来到一座古堡。胡哥让我们稍作休息。葛姐是个了不起的女性。50多岁了,有两个孩子,最大的已经19岁。她自己出来走,是我们队里唯一的独行侠。来秘鲁之前已经在墨西哥玩了俩礼拜。葛姐是墨西哥后裔,所以会说西班牙语。多年前父母是非法移民来到加州干农活。葛姐从小吃苦,长大之后考上斯坦福大学。毕业后立志于公共服务,在加州州政府工作。葛姐告诉我州长阿诺喜欢在办公楼里抽雪茄,搞得空气很不好。他们就用德文写了一堆“此处禁止抽烟”的传单贴在楼道里。雾中的印加古堡更增添了神秘感。古堡的下面是一个前哨,相当于咱们中国古城建筑里的卫城。我们的向导胡哥是当地人。在库斯卡一带有10多年的向导经验。胡哥一路上给我们讲解印加文化和历史。每个向导必须在秘鲁首都利马的大学里学习一年,通过考试之后才能拿到上岗证。雾气慢慢的散开。云层就在我们头顶上。 如此美景,大家纷纷摆pose,到此一游。小莉还是用她的经典表情。难道这是澳洲女孩们的“剪刀手”?忘了这张是神马情况了。好像是朱哥让我摆拍。山谷中间白色的就是温泉镇。我们将在第四天下午从马丘比丘下到温泉镇,然后坐火车回到库斯科。一路上看到的古堡越来越多,我们知道离神秘的马丘比丘不远了。下山的路上碰到一段很难走的地方。石头台阶又陡峭,又滑。MM们都非常小心。锐思不管他老婆,只管在底下给她照相。爱玲也不抱怨。好像老外女人都挺独立的。终于大家都安全的走下来了。胡哥说我们这个队真是很强。对向导没有太多的依赖性。 又见更多的古堡。看来离皇上的行宫不远了。动次,打次,动次,打次,弯弯的河水从天上来,流向那万紫千红一片海。。。哎,不对,2009年的时候还没有神曲呢!哥又穿越了。。。山谷里的河是乌鲁邦巴河,孕育了曾经辉煌的印加文明。我和胡哥在这安第斯山脉中合影一张。 第三天的晚餐是厨师给我们做的最后一顿饭。他特意给我们做了个蛋糕。上面的字“Feliz Viaje"是西班牙语旅途愉快的意思。中间的目光呆滞的女孩是Florina-小佛mm,来自纽约市,阿狸的同事,也是个律师。出生在乌克兰,很小的时候随父母来到美国。平时喜欢跑马拉松。这几天由于高反,一直走在队伍的最后,但是也坚持下来了。胡哥给我们下了通知,明天早上要起个大早,赶在日出之前到达Sun Gate -太阳门,俯视被初升的阳光慢慢照亮的马丘比丘。和厨师协作告别之后,赶紧洗洗睡了。 第四天早上全队不到5点就起了。天还没亮,只有朦朦的星光。在去Sun Gate太阳门的路上,看到日出前的晨光。胡哥催促大家加快步伐。印加人把太阳门修建在一个山脊上。如果天气晴朗,从那里可以俯视到马丘比丘的全景。我们到达时,太阳正在从我们背后的群山之中升起,轻轻地掀起马丘比丘神秘的面纱。我队伍一众人等开始准备好拍照。哒哒。。。晨光下的马丘比丘!有点日照金山的感觉。可惜我当时只有一个卡片,没法完美得带回那壮观的瞬间。远处安第斯山脉中的一座雪峰在云层中时隐时现。胡哥开始催促我们抓紧时间。从太阳门下到马丘比丘还有2个小时路程。我赶紧摆个pose,让朱哥抓了一张。队长发话了,“Come on!Let's go!” 快点!大家出发了!大家可能会想,这么显眼的建筑怎么会隐藏这么久没被发现呢?我当时也有这个疑问。胡哥告诉我,马丘比丘在1911年之前被茂密的植被覆盖着,而且经常大雾笼罩。除了当地山民,外来的人很难察觉到在这样的崇山峻岭中还有一个古老的城市。我们队今早能看到晨光下的马丘比丘,是很幸运的。很多时候山上有雾或者下雨。上传网上的两张1911年拍的马丘比丘照片,可以看到树木和藤条把这座古城包裹了起来。我越来越觉得马丘比丘和宫崎骏笔下的天空之城有很多相似之处。经过4天的跋涉,我们终于到了!有经验的胡哥给我们挑了一个好地方。说是很多明信片就是在这个地方拍的。This is the postcard spot! 于是大家纷纷合影,摆pose!胡哥摆了个金刚的pose。我摆了个山寨阿诺的pose。 胡哥是个敬业的好向导,而且知识丰富。来张合影吧。真是天公作美。我们是很幸运的一队!看到马丘比丘背后的那个山峰了吗?她叫Wayna Picchu 瓦纳比丘,比马丘比丘高360米。我和朱哥商量好了要爬到那上面去。([]
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。([]

是的,我回来了,从我热爱的西藏,遥远的拉萨回来了……记得那天,同行的队友在信息里说:我现在醉氧呢,你呐,到家后怎么样?记得那天,户外的老友问我:你西藏行的图片和文字呢?我们期待你的帖子呢!记得那天,那天,那天……我一直在回忆中不停的整理那些已经变成“昨天”的相片,突然觉得无论相片拍得有多烂,我都舍不得删掉…… ——记附加队友“橄榄”的游记帖子:且撤且珍惜——记我的2014西藏珠峰东坡、希夏邦马峰南坡之旅(全文完 )https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2177860-1-1.htmlA279; —— 前 序 —— 今天,我开始在断断续续的回忆中写那段还未曾远去的日子。写我在西藏的步履,便会不由自主的想起一路上看到的那些双手合十、高举头顶、一步三叩的虔诚和执着;写我在西藏的步履,还会有一种感觉让我情不自禁的想起那些清澈的眼眸,总想再抱一抱他们,那些淳朴的孩子,是他们让我的身心,还有那曾经途中的坚强,没来由的在今夜再一次,再一次败给了记忆中的这一份“柔软”……是的,今夜我还是想你,想你之际会令所有的“思念”肆意地顺脸淌下,流进嘴角,咸咸的,涩涩的……这种感觉像极了一场绵长而无果的爱恋,在每一个夜深人静的夜晚从未远离。 ——记 藏传佛教文化…… 藏区的孩子…… 去西藏,去雪域高原,终点不是目的,路上的每一天,每一个恰到好处的瞬间,才是生命中难得一见的美景。转山、转水、转佛塔,还有那佛前的磕长头、酥油灯前的许愿,这些所有的修心、修性和修行,即使不能融入和参与,我想,今生若能有缘就这样默默地注视着,也很好…… ——记 (橄榄摄) 美丽而神圣的“布达拉宫”……(橄榄摄) 在布达拉宫,在大昭寺,在八廓街,在甜茶馆,在每一处神山圣水的脚下,都会让你受到那一份份微笑着的美好祝福:扎西德勒!在山顶撒一把“隆达”祈祷平安,在飞扬的“风马旗”下敬祝神山,在碧蓝色的湖边,在洁白的雪山之间,撑一顶帐篷,去感受清晨或是傍晚那一缕阳光的洗礼……活在当下,珍惜每一天——让我们在行走的途中“修行”——哪怕只是对身边的人露出微笑…… ——记我在西藏…… 我在西藏……(橄榄摄)海拔5000米的跳跃……(橄榄摄) 我在“珠峰东坡” 我在“希夏邦马南坡” 在这里,所有的一切就如同落在白纸上,变得简单而直白…… 我并不是特热衷写游记,只是每次远行归来,我总会在想,怎样才能留住这些渐行渐远的时光?对我而言,也许把途中点点滴滴的记录汇集在一起才算是一次有意义的出行的结束吧。也许,如果有一天我真的老了,在人生末路的渡口徜徉,在青丝白发,铅华褪尽的沧海桑田,那些让人感动的东西再也感动不了我,令人悲伤的事情再也不能让我流泪,那时,如若可以,我愿在等待岁月苍老的回忆中再一次邂逅这一路的“温暖”;那时,如若可以,我希望还能在这里看到,或是听到我的孩子们为我读这些文字,在似曾相识的画面里,在密密麻麻满是“昨天”的字里行间,想起昔日繁华的风景和风景里的我们,然后,然后让“思念如花”……——记感谢记忆里有你——首先感谢为我践行和接风的队友和家人…… 感谢拉萨的朋友们和两位偶遇拼车的香港美眉, ——谢谢你们的相约与相伴…… 感谢一路有你——与家乡环华骑行的“朱世岱”老师相逢拉萨, 感谢您带给我他乡遇故人的激动和感动……感谢一路有你——曾经“狼塔C+V”路上的队友, 感谢你们在回程途中对我的热情款待…… 感谢记忆里有你——谢谢你们带给我雪域高原旷野中的真诚…… 今天,敞开心扉,要感谢生命,更要感谢你们——感谢有缘与你们同行在AA相约的路上,感谢途中不离不弃的情谊,因为你们的自信与阳光,让我由衷的敬佩与信任,因为你们的加入,让我的西藏之行更精彩……风中,雨中,暴雪中,我们一起走过,你们让我看到了户外领域的风采和户外人的素质。当时光匆匆,别去经年,我们终将会在漫长的岁月中明白最美好的也许不是那一路的风景,而是我们曾经并肩走过的那些个转身的等待和惜惜问候的细节……一缕清风,一丝细雨,一片飞雪,在生命中变成永远难忘的初心,温暖了曾经所有的过往,别后,一声念安,一句祝福,足矣…… ——记“珠峰东坡”徒步的全体队友(从左至右):轻装队员:辽宁的“走来走去”和“随心”、广西的“明成”重装队员:贵州的“橄榄”、云南的“时光”、本人 合影于“优帕村”——徒步“珠峰东坡”的起点……合影于“希夏邦马”南坡徒步的途中……合影于“希夏邦马”南坡的营地…… 贵州的队友“橄榄”,是我去年“贡嘎”之行的队长,一路上很会搭讪和沟通(号称“雨神”,这点是我所不能及的)…… 云南的队友“时光”,或骑行或徒步曾多次进藏,是一名我所信赖的骚大夫,(也是大名鼎鼎的“雨神”,据说拉萨一别后的日子他可是到哪儿哪下雨)…… (一)启程拉萨 又是一场雨,让闷热的午后变得清凉,在这样一个下过雨的傍晚,约三五知己小聚在这空濛的夜色里,谈人生,谈生命,谈令人向往的外面的世界。他们说,你又在路上!走的如此匆忙,让我们再一次追寻着你的足迹;他们说,你怎么能放得下?离得开?舍得去远方看风光无限?是的,生活就是这样,有些事看起来很难,其实做起来很容易——例如“远行”;有些事做起来很难,看起来很却很容易——例如“行走”……——记启程相送,归来相迎,所有的感激之情都在心中…… 从这一刻起,愿途中所有的收获“入眼成景,入心成禅”…… 幸亏提前了一天,飞机经停银川时因拉萨贡嘎机场沙尘暴而被迫停飞, 当晚航空公司安排食宿,调整起飞时间…… 第二天到达“贡嘎机场”已经是正午,25元坐机场大巴不到两个小时到市内,还好,下午办理日喀则地区的边防证比较顺利…… 入住预定的位于拉萨市北京中路亚宾馆旁边的“风马飞扬旅舍”,这里住着是很多骑行爱好者,不愧是“车友之家…… 环境优雅的“风马飞扬旅舍”…… 这里住宿方便、整洁,环境温馨、安静,还有温文尔雅、端庄漂亮的老板娘…… 充分利用短暂的午后时光——我想,逛街和吃应该是所有初来拉萨的朋友们别无选择的节奏…… 大昭寺一景…… 相识是缘——感谢拉萨热情的朋友们…… ([]
〖序〗去年元旦,我在零下45度的坝上草原,极度寒冷干燥的天气,还没回上海,我的手上就开始发湿疹。最初并不在意,却没想到,湿疹越发越多,最后竟伴随了我一年,并发展到全身性皮肤过敏。每次似乎过敏稍好一点,一旦出去旅行或出差,便又再次复发。而去年是我特别忙碌的一年,出差频繁,旅行也很频繁。湿疹却因反复发作,久治不愈,已成顽疾,让我去年整整一年,痒并快乐着。今年元旦,从柬埔寨回来后,十个手指头再次长满密密麻麻的湿疹,让我痛下决心,暂时不出去玩了,哪儿也不去了,就在上海呆着,修身养性。 修身养性,说起来容易做起来难。尤其是身处户外圈,身边的朋友都是不安分的旅行狂热者,春节开始,朋友圈里便陆续晒各类旅行照,接着是各类旅行计划。我又心痒了。 “当【旅行】被按下暂停键,还好有照片可以感怀与想念。只是为何,两个月前的柬埔寨之行,已如两年般久远?”当我在微信上敲出这段文字时,只觉内心悲凉。 人生有当下,还有远方。旅行,早已成为我的信念,是照进琐碎生活的一丝光亮。每隔一段时间,放下工作,放下压力,放下朝九晚五,去遥远的地方放逐一下,再回来时,便已是神清气爽,连平凡生活也换成了美好模样,不觉房价很高,客户很烦,压力很大。 但现在,我必须得做出妥协,与我的身体。 “你一定是以前户外水线走得太多,湿气过重”,“户外睡帐篷时,即使有防潮垫,湿气依然很重”。。。身边朋友帮我找着各种看似合理的解释。但不管原因为何,现在我要做的是暂停旅行,暂停行走。 人生都有阶段性的,不是吗?也许这是我的身体在向我发出的警告。我只是暂时停下来,休息一下而已。远方,永远在前方。我如此安慰自己。 当旅行暂停时,还好我有照片可以怀念,还有文字可以书写。 所以,现在,让我用文字来开始一段旅行吧。。。 D1(12-29) 上海浦东——柬埔寨暹粒暹粒,第一次看见“暹”这个字,我甚至不知该如何发音。问十个人,也许九个人不知“暹”字该如何读,而八个人不知“暹粒”又是何地?你不知暹粒,但你一定知道吴哥。如果你要去吴哥,那你一定得先飞暹粒,吴哥的门户。2012年元旦前夕,小美丽说,"我们去吴哥吧,元旦去吴哥,天气最凉爽。" 每年的11月至次年2月,是吴哥的旱季,也是最凉爽的季节,自然也是旅游旺季。3月开始气温上升,而5月-10月,便进入闷热潮湿的雨季,最高温度可达40多度。无奈时间太仓促,即使计划买大韩航空的机票从韩国绕过去,机票也很贵。那一年元旦,我们放弃了吴哥,我却开始对吴哥心心念念。2013年春秋开通了上海直飞暹粒的航线,我就盘算着,一定要去吴哥。待过了吴哥漫长的雨季,我依旧把去吴哥的时间定在了元旦。还在浦东机场候机,心里已是春暖花开。和蟋蟀头自拍一张,分享到微信朋友圈:“又一次出发,到温暖的地方过新年去!”Tips:办理去柬埔寨的证非常方便,在网上申请电子证,25美元/人,3个工作日即可收到证的PDF电子版本,打印出来,贴在护照上即可。申请电子证网址:https//evisa.mfaic.gov.kh/Default.aspx 直飞的好处便是,4个多小时后,我们已抵达柬埔寨国际机场。柬埔寨的海关人员会索要小费,已是公开秘密。”把1美元准备好,夹在护照里“,很多人的攻略会如是告诉你。但我不准备给他们小费。我们都有合法的入境证,凭什么还要给海关人员小费?排队等候入关。我前面一正在办理入关手续的中国男人,忽然转过身对他的同伴喊道:“他们要我交10元钱,你们有吗?””你就和他说no money!“未等他的同伴给他钱,我的话已喊出了口。那海关人员向我看了看,又低下了头。我想了想,为避免他可能的刁难,我干脆换了个通道排队。轮到我时,我递上护照。海关员接过护照,眼睛也没抬,只喃喃地用中文说了句:"10元人民币。”“NO,” 这次,我的回答更简单。他啥也没说,只低着头把我的护照翻来覆去看。你就慢慢看吧,反正我不会给你钱的。我心里暗暗想着。磨蹭许久后,他叫我把右手放到一个指纹记录仪上,停留许久,再换左手,又停留许久。“NO~~NO” 他嘴里一边咕哝着,一边继续磨蹭着。我安静地等在柜台前,我就不信,不给他小费,他就不让我通行?最后,他终于在我护照上盖好章,把护照递还给我。我心里偷笑,接过护照,赶紧离开。下一个是蟋蟀头了,海关人员也对他说了同样的话,“10元人民币,” 他也用“NO”直接回绝了海关人员。我估计这位海关人员心里已是极度不爽,失去耐心,只让蟋蟀头放了一只手记录指纹,就让他通过了。据说,柬埔寨海关人员的索贿都是中国人培养出来的。如果真是如此,那就让我们每个中国人从NO开始,断绝掉他们这种劣根性。 走出机场时,旅馆派来接我们的车夫已拿着写有我名字的纸牌候在外面。住三晚以上,旅馆便提供免费的接机服务。我们将在暹粒住七晚,便理所当然享受了旅馆的这项免费服务。车夫叫Bunny,我们在暹粒相处了整整六天,我却是在最后一天才知他的名字。当时,Bunny对我们来说,只是一个临时来接机的车夫而已,我们并没想到在暹粒的六天,都将与他在一起,甚至还去了他家里。坐上他的TUTU车时,“take photo?” Bunny问我。他这么喜欢拍照吗?我一边觉得奇怪,一边把镜头对准他。“No,我是问是否需要我帮你俩拍张照?” Bunny摇着手,知道我误解了他的意思。真逗,这漆黑的夜里,帮我俩拍照?但我还是把相机递给他,于是,借着路灯的余光,有了我俩这张初来乍到的照片。 预订的旅馆Avie Moriya Villa(阿维莫莉亚别墅),还真是一幢两层楼的别墅,只有几个房间。老板是个意大利人,据说很nice很幽默。房价不贵,住7晚仅226美元,相当于人民币1377元。出发前一个月我才订房,可能正值旅游旺季的缘故,很多酒店房间都早已预订一空,包括朋友推荐的Motherhome Inn。找到Avie Moriya Villa属巧合,位置好,离老市场近,而且它的网上评分还很高。只是,不到200元一晚的房间,多少让我有点担心。这种担心,直到热情的服务生把我们领进房间,才终于解除。房间虽简单,却很干净,而且还有免费的wifi。蟋蟀头说肚子饿了,要外出觅食。于是,行李放下,我们便再次出门,坐上Bunny的tutu车,让他送我们去酒吧街。当然,Bunny并非免费送我们,他要求收费2美元。在柬埔寨,主要使用的货币是美元,从购物到吃饭的所有消费。而当地货币瑞尔Riel,一般只用来找零。美元与瑞尔有个固定汇率0.1USD=400Riel,通常只有用到1美元以下时,瑞尔才派上用场 。既然一切都用美元支付,所以,柬浦寨的消费并不便宜。2美元,差不多13元人民币,上海出租车的起步价,可以坐3公里。而我们坐Bunny的tutu车,仅几分钟而已,便已到了酒吧街。如此一来,是不是比上海都贵?但当时我没有2美元的零钱,掏出一张100美元,Bunny说,明天付吧。明天,已和他约好,下午送我们去买吴哥的门票。他就不怕我们明天爽约,不坐他的tutu车?我心里暗想。但可能正因为他这种相信,我们也都很诚信。信任与否,从来都是相互的。 酒吧街并非如想像中那般人头攒动、人声鼎沸,毕竟已是午夜时分,喝了酒的人,也大多回房休息了。但五彩的霓虹,震耳的音乐,还是和之前寂静的夜色形成鲜明的反差。“要不要去喝一杯?” 蟋蟀头问我。“不要。”我知道他故意这样问,他其实从来不爱喝酒。我们是来找吃的。但这些光鲜亮丽的酒吧,提供的除了酒水还是酒水。 酒吧街并不长,50米左右,穿行而过后,灯光便黯淡下来,稀稀拉拉摆着一些路边摊。从旅馆出来时,已向服务生打听过,夜里是否安全?即使得到服务生肯定的答复,蟋蟀头仍然一百个不放心,即使要吃路边摊,也一定要找个灯光明亮点的地方。我们还真找到一处明亮的角落。小食摊的玻璃橱窗上竟写着四个斗大的中文:牛肉河粉。“finish,finish!”橱窗后的一个男人对我说道。我站在小食摊前,探头往里张望着,可能看得太过专心,竟对他说的“finish” 充耳不闻。和蟋蟀头商量下,我便对老板说道,“要两份牛肉河粉。”“finish !” 老板大声地再次重申。哦,原来已经卖完,结束营业了。但之前我居然把“finish”听成“fish”,以为他在向我推销鱼了!真是三滴汗啊。 他家已结束营业,但紧挨着他家的另一个食摊,小妹仍在忙碌中。依然点了两份炒河粉,蟋蟀头的牛肉河粉和我的蔬菜河粉。每份2美元。在东南亚旅行的好处便是,与国内的食物差异不大,不会让人在饮食上感觉难以适应。用筷子吃河粉的时候,有点时光错乱的感觉。我们真的已经在柬埔寨呢? 见我在拍照,一老外突然跳过来,张大手臂,做个怪脸,挡在我镜头前面。然后,我俩都哈哈大笑。嗯,我想,我们的确已在柬埔寨了。饭后去逛了小食摊旁边的超市,这里日用品一应俱全,成了我俩后来屡次光顾的地方。除了很多商品是made in China,几个中文字也是赫然醒目。 准备返回旅馆时,近凌晨2点,街头依然许多夜不归宿的游客。他们,是这个城市GDP的来源,也使这个城市无论白天还是黑夜,都充满生机。更漆黑的角落,一排排tutu车沿街摆开。比游客还多的tutu车,生意看来并不好做。如此竞争激烈,所以我们只用了一美元,便坐tutu车返回了旅馆。 D2(12-30)巴肯山日落吴哥窟的门票分为三种:一日票$20,三日票$40,七日票$60。下午17点钟买票后便可马上进去,免费获得一个傍晚,去巴肯山或者吴哥看日落。所以,这一天,我们除了下午430出发去买吴哥门票,然后去巴肯山看日落外,并没有特别安排。于是,便安安心心地睡到自然醒。一觉醒来时,已是中午。从二楼的阳台上往外望去,除了电线太过扎眼外,街上空无一人,安静得有点过分。但这就是暹粒,白天游客们都散落到吴哥的丛林中,只有傍晚以后才陆续归城。所以,白天的暹粒永远都是寂寞的。 昨晚抵达时,夜色漆黑,完全不知我们住的这幢楼啥模样。现在下楼后,才算把这幢Avie Moriya Villa(阿维莫莉亚别墅)看清楚。外墙涂成淡黄色的小楼,看上去倒是分为雅致。二楼阳台上挂着柬埔寨国旗和红白绿的意大利国旗,看来老板的确是个意大利人。只是,旅馆里依然不见他的踪影。我对他有点好奇,为何要到这里来开一家廉价旅馆?这点房费,怎么算起来都不算什么高收入。蟋蟀头说,你以为老外都很有钱吗?说不定他在意大利也就一穷人。 出门时,已是下午两点半,准备走路去老市场吃午饭。看了酒店名片后面的地图,老市场与酒吧街相距很近。蟋蟀头说,你跟我走就行。“你确信你可以找到?”我有点怀疑。虽然昨晚坐tutu车去酒吧街吃过饭,但我依然毫无方向感。“我确信。”蟋蟀头的语气里,倒全是自信。于是,我俩就这样出门溜达了。 “我们现在走的路,比昨晚绕了一下。我只是想看看,这边又是什么样?”蟋蟀头说道,就好像他曾经来过似的。我依旧半信半疑,甚至中途还去问了两个路人,但证明我俩的确一直走在正确的方向。“你知道这是哪吗?”将近20分钟后,蟋蟀头指着一条街的入口。“不知道。”我摇了摇头。“这就是酒吧街啊!”“酒吧街?但为什么和昨晚的酒吧街没有一点相似之处呢?”我不相信。但很快,我发现路牌上写着Pub street。“因为这是酒吧街的另一头。”蟋蟀头非常淡定地说道。现在,我对他的方向感,佩服得五体投地。只是,酒吧街的白天与黑夜,反差实在很大。但为何街头有这么多警察呢?有什么事情发生吗?和警察叔叔确认了下,与酒吧街平行的另一条街道便是老市场。攻略说,老市场集中了很多餐厅。但当我站在这里时,眼前所见与想像中完全不一样。左边一排简陋的小吃摊,散发出来的浓烈腥味,让我只想赶快逃离。后来去这后面逛了一下,原来小吃摊的后面是个菜市场,难怪气味难闻。路右边的餐厅,看上去就精致许多。我很少按别人的推荐去寻找美食,因为在吃这件事上,我从来认为是仁者见仁,智者见智。毕竟每个人的口味不一样,要求也不一样。美食,凭自己的感觉去寻觅就好。就比如这家放满绿植的餐厅,蓝色的桌椅、异域风情的桌布,明亮绮丽的颜色搭配,一入眼,我就挪不动脚了。 餐厅不仅装修考究,连服务员也很漂亮。点餐后,等候上菜时,蟋蟀头让小姑娘坐在桌子一边,给她拍照。我俩是餐厅唯一的客人,所以小姑娘很大方地应允了。她的眼睛大大的,笑的时候特别美。 饭前饮料,一定是每人一个新鲜椰汁。在泰国时,我们是如此习惯;到了柬埔寨,依然如此。同是椰汁,但柬埔寨和泰国的又有所不同。柬埔寨的椰子虽块头大,但椰汁却不如泰国的甘甜,味道偏淡。而且柬埔寨的椰汁比泰国的贵许多,柬埔寨一般$2(相当于人民币12元),而泰国仅10泰铢(相当于人民币2元)。如此一比较,感觉柬埔寨的消费比泰国贵了许多。 我们这顿饭是传统的柬埔寨美食。我的Amok fish 和蟋蟀头的Beef Lok Lak。Amok是当地的一种植物,用它的叶子裹着鱼肉或鸡肉或牛肉,再加上椰奶、咖喱粉、姜黄粉、柠檬香草等调料,在火上蒸熟。选择不同的主食料,便是不同的Amok,所以有了Amok fish、Amok beef、Amok chicken。也许暹粒边上就是洞里萨湖的缘故,所以鱼肉的Amok最为有名。而Beef Lok Lak则是用炒好的牛肉配上柬埔寨特有的烤肉酱。点餐时,我对蟋蟀头说,“我想吃鱼,可是。。。”我喜欢吃鱼,可是因为湿疹的缘故,已经戒鱼很久了。“那就点吧。吃了再说。”蟋蟀头二话不说,帮我做了决定。他就是这样,永远知道我在想什么,不管我是话只说了一半,还是什么也没说。他只是看情况,帮我把想说的话说出来而已。 我对这家餐厅的桌布和桌巾一见倾心,这就是传说中的纱笼布吗?我立即把它列入我的购物清单,只是,直到离开柬埔寨,也再没看见这么漂亮的桌布。 吃完饭,已近下午4点,得赶紧往回走了,因为和Bunny有约,1630来旅馆接我俩。回去时,蟋蟀头说带我走近路,即昨晚我们坐tutu车的路线,居然只用了十分钟左右,我们便走回了旅馆。一路上,见到许多候客的tutu车停靠在路边,也有许多tutu车司机主动过来招呼我们。尽管是旅游旺季,似乎tutu车的生意也难做啊。所以,当我们回到旅馆,看见Bunny已笑脸盈盈地等候在大门口时,便一点也不奇怪了。后来要离开暹粒时,我问蟋蟀头,为何我们从来没向其他tutu车司机打听过价格呢?不货比三家,就选择了Bunny,这似乎没有道理。“这要问你自己了。”蟋蟀头回答我。 1630,准时出发。当时 ,只与Bunny谈好这个傍晚的车费$5:送我们去买门票,然后送我们去巴肯山看日落,最后把我们送回旅馆。 旅馆到售票处并不远,tutu车过去十多分钟就到了。实际上,暹粒本就是个小城,城区到呈哥窟十多分钟,到机场也是十多分钟而已。幅员广阔的是茫茫丛林,以及丛林中的寺庙。吴哥的门票很有纪念意义,因为会现场为每个人拍一张照片印在门票上,于是,每张门票都成了个人专属。最值得一提的是,在通货膨胀的今天,吴哥的门票这十年来都没有任何变化。十年前的三天票是$40,现在依然是同样价格。 买完门票后,我们便直奔巴肯山。中途路过吴哥寺,远远地便能看见人山人海。我倒吸一口气,这么多人,我们如何拍摄日落?对巴肯山的日落,我似乎有了不好的预感。Bunny把车停在巴肯山下,指着不远处的一条山路说道,“你们就从那儿上山吧,我在山下等你们。”放眼看去,上巴肯山的游客也不少。我有点担心,山下这么多人,我们能在人群中找到Bunny吗?或者说,Bunny会找到我们吗?但实际上,我的担心有点多余,Bunny从来没有错过我们,他总是在我们从寺庙出来的第一时间向我们挥手。 在上山的入口处,有个伤残人士组成的民乐团在演奏,我大概看了下介绍,他们自称是地雷的受害者,请求募捐。后来我们在吴哥的每个遗迹入口处,都有看到这样的乐团。柬埔寨曾有举世闻名的吴哥文明,但也曾遭遇几十年的战乱。从1945的抗法战争到后来的内战,几十年的战争让柬埔寨变得满目疮痍。战争中埋下的1000多万颗地雷,比其人口还多,约占全球地雷总数的十分之一。因地雷遍布太广,数量太多,已成为延续至今最大的威胁,给柬埔寨人民带来巨大灾难,被地雷炸伤的人数远大于被炸死的人数。从1991年10月23日“巴黎和平协议”订后,联合国开始往柬埔寨派驻扫雷部队,但据说,要清除柬埔寨所有的地雷,需上百年甚至更长的时间。坏消息是,柬埔寨每天依然有平民被地雷所伤;但好消息是,我们游客去的地方,地雷都已清理干净。只要你走在有路的地方,就不用担心地雷。我放了钱在他们的募捐盒里。后来,每看到这样的乐团,我俩都会捐钱。有人说,有些乐团是假装成地雷受害者,只为骗取钱财。但不管怎样,我相信他们是真的。在神的领地,你敢说谎吗?为了赶上落日,我俩快步向山上走去。巴肯山虽为山,但并不高,高度仅65米,与吴哥窟的高度相近。尽管如此,它也是吴哥区域的制高点之一,所以,它总是被人们列为看日出或日落的地方。爬上山,我俩仅用了十分钟。但一上山,我傻眼了,举目望去,除了人还是人。随着人流往前走,有工作人员在维持秩序,要求大家排成一列,排队上山。抬头,仰望,矗立在山顶的巴肯寺,高高在上。虽然神庙底部大多坍塌,但屹立在山顶的它,依然气势不减。高棉人崇拜山,山与山神,是他们的原始信仰。真腊王朝的国王耶输跋摩一世登基后,把都城从洞里萨湖边的罗洛士迁至吴哥所在的一片平原,并在巴肯山上建立了第一座国庙。巴肯在当时不仅是王朝的中心,也成为婆罗门世界的宇宙中心——须弥山。([]
