乌孙是公元前二世纪崛起于新疆伊犁河流域的西域古国,鼎盛时期人口达到63万,一度成为西域三十六国最强大的国家,在伊利草原留下了悠久的璀璨历史。东汉末年,乌孙内乱国势羸弱,在鲜卑的攻击下退入葱岭散居,至今天山深处还残留着乌孙古城遗迹。 乌孙向南越过天山沿塔里木河东行直至长安,是乌孙与汉朝使团、商队往来的通道。乌孙(包扎墩)古道与夏特古道相距近200公里,均是连接天山南北的通道,被统称为乌孙古道。 60多年前,一支军队成功连穿了两条古道,1946年,已经控制伊宁地区的三区民族军制订了南北中三线作战计划,南线作战部队于1946年6月从伊犁州特克斯县琼库什台村出发,翻过包扎墩达坂,穿过130公里长的乌孙古道越过天山进击南疆,攻占了拜城和温宿县,在攻打南疆重镇阿克苏失利后,又于10月突破国民党军队在夏特古道的阻击撤回北疆。 我们计划重走60年前的这条行军路线,先从北到南穿越乌孙古道,再从南到北反穿夏特古道回到北疆。 这是一场没能最终完成的旅行,当旅行戛然而止的那一刻心中满是沮丧。无奈和惆怅渐渐淡去,伴随着记忆的回放,那些不断泛起的点点滴滴却总是试图提醒我,这已经是一场完美旅行。 利空出尽是利好 研究路线做好攻略,接下来就是招兵买马,每年的寻伴总是个难,今年也不例外。原计划组建六人队伍,可是折腾了几个月,临到出发前一个月才勉强凑够四个人。 以前每一次旅行都没有超过两人,所以四人的庞大队伍已经让我很是满意,不过,即使是这样低水平的满意也没能持续多久,出发前第9天,一个队员因事要求退出。通常情况少一个人也不打紧,在人数问上我早就习惯了随遇而安,但走这条有些风险的线路,少一个负责技术和安全的核心队员,简直就是釜底抽薪。剩下两位同伴让我心里直打鼓,一个是价真货实的路痴型傻走驴简单,另一个是对线路毫不关心的摄影迷老米(米老鼠)。 简单一门心思痴迷于走路,但从不去关心怎么走,她说看到攻略和地图上的花花碌碌就头晕的厉害,我也就没强逼鸭子上架。 老米忙着研究负重拍片功略也不会去关心徒步攻略,老米这是第二次徒步,第一次负重,为了凑够人数,在我软硬兼施的动员下好不容易才把他给拉入队伍,他原本不是路痴,处于对二十年老友的盲目信任让他自甘堕落成了路痴。 虽然都是两眼一抹黑,路痴甲和路痴乙却具有强烈的革命乐观主义精神,他俩意见高度统一,“队长,怕啥呢,走不通回头是岸。”很干脆的把一大堆烦恼丢给了我。 去年穿越乌孙古道的小蜜蜂特意叮嘱我,三个人过科克苏河上的溜索基本不可能,那些溜索绑在离地近三米高的树干上,人手太少很难把人托举起挂上溜索,除非你能像猴子一样爬树。在那些纠结的日子里,不止一次梦到自己出现了严重的返祖现象。 纠结的日子里利空消息传来,科克苏河上的溜索已经被洪水冲断,线路受阻,于是紧急研究备用路线方案——绕道溜索上游木桥多走两天多翻三个达坂完成穿越。 备用方案还没捂热,更大的利空接踵而至,而且是坏事成双——溜索上游所有的木桥都被洪水冲毁,必经之路科克苏河已经无法逾越+夏特大冰壁断裂,线路有大变动。 这些不能回避又没法证实的坏消息让人头疼,我试图把这些重大利空与甲乙同志分享,两同志沉浸在徒步装备购置和摄影器材添置带来的网购快乐中,显然无暇它顾,不过他们的意见仍然很统一,“队长,别怕,走不通回头另找一条路走就是。”似乎天山里通向南疆的坦途多如牛毛。 我只能心怀侥幸的安慰自己——兴许,利空出尽就该是利好了吧。 反复研究路上可能会遇到的困难,保护措施也独个儿演练了好几次(甲乙同志都很忙,没空参与),心里还是忐忑不安,骨灰级路痴已经指望不上,只能叮嘱自称地理高考98分(20年前还是100分制)的老米认真研究攻略,我想,路上有个人商量总是能壮壮胆。 第二天,老米兴奋的告诉我,“攻略看完了,搞半天才弄明白我们队伍是先走乌孙再走夏特呀!”说完顺便问了一句:“背几个镜头合适些?三脚架带哪种?”直接打消了我拉人壮胆的幻想。 出发前了解到今年还有几支队伍进乌孙,一交流才发现很不对劲,几乎每支队伍都是经过多次拉练层层筛选淘汰才组建起来,对这些队伍来讲,走过墨脱就自称强驴的人连参加拉练的资格都没有,选拔队员的准最低也是特种兵级别。 回头再看我们生拉活拽勉强凑成的队伍,怎么看怎么像草台班子,不过心里还是暗自庆幸,幸亏我们是今年第一支溜进山的穿越队伍,否则在路上遇到特种兵,民兵们多半都不好意思招呼。老米老友第二次徒步第一次负重 八卦城 9月19日清晨8点35分,从乌鲁木齐出发的5815次列车驶进伊宁市火车站,提前联系好的王师傅(王正林13519993637)已经等在火车站门口,坐上车就直奔徒步起点——特克斯县琼库什台村。 特克斯是乌孙古国夏都所在地,现在的特克斯县城始建于1938年,因完全依据后天八卦图建成而得名八卦城。 据特克斯县志记载,南宋嘉定三年,道教全真七子之一的丘处机应成吉思汗的邀请前往西域,在游历天山的途中,发现了特克斯这块“风水龙脉”,丘处机用后天八卦图确定了坎北、离南、震东、兑西的八卦方位,这就是特克斯八卦城雏型的最早传说。 1936年,新疆军阀盛世才的岳父宗秋浚调任伊犁屯垦使兼警备司令,精通易理的宗秋浚也发现了特克斯这块风水宝地,他亲自设计了八卦城图,1938年,特克斯县县长班吉春开始主持修建八卦城。 八卦城堪称《周易》八卦学说与城市规划实践完美结合的经典之作,八卦城以城中心花园为太极“阴阳”两仪,按八卦方位向外辐射八条主街,每条主街长1200米,每隔360米一条环路,一环8条街,二环16条街,三环32条街,四环64条街。这些街道按八卦方位形成了64卦,整个八卦城栩栩如生的演绎了《周易》学说的深奥内涵,简直是建筑史上的奇迹。进山前在特克斯县最后一次进餐,所以这碗大号牛肉面端上来后,我又另添了一份牛肉和一份面条 路痴甲培训路痴乙 从特克斯县出来很快进山,拐进河谷,眼前的水电工地干得热火朝天,面对挖得乱七八糟的道路,王师傅有些傻眼,他说去年来的时候这里的河谷静悄悄。 一辆水泥搅拌车突突的开过来,开车师傅竟然是王师傅的熟人,一阵寒暄后,在他的指点下东绕西绕终于绕上进山的碎石路。 百无聊赖中,简单竟然破天荒的关心起线路来,听到简单漫不经心的随口一问,老米立马来了精神,临时抱佛脚掏出功略开始认真讲解起来。忙着现炒现卖着意卖弄的老米,显然没注意到简单已经听的昏昏欲睡,忍不住嘀咕了一句,“路痴甲培训路痴乙。” 老米讪笑着住了口。 琼库什台村 翻过山口,蕴积已久的乌云终于垮下脸,雨开始下个不停,山谷里浓雾弥漫,能见度极低,王师傅紧握着方向盘,汽车缓慢滑行在泥泞的下山道上,雨雾中我们抵达了徒步起点——琼库什台牧业村。 下车后,开始重新打包收拾,一群哈萨克牧民迅速聚集过来,围着我们指指点点议论个不停,出发前拍合影时,看稀奇的牧民们呼啦一下涌进镜头,毫不客气的把几个穿越主角给生生挤到角落里去。 下午三点半,我们在淅淅沥沥的雨中出发。出发前的合影,牧民成了主角,中间这位大汉颇有点舍我其谁的气势 甲可思摸 雨雾在山谷里快速涌动,山林溪流忽隐忽现,我们沿着湿滑泥泞的马道往山谷深处走去,出发后老米显得很兴奋,拿着相机拍得很起劲,泥泞马道上左右穿插频频按动快门,尽管镜头上已是水珠点点,还是时不时的来个雨中静物特写,队伍走走停停简直就像是幼儿园的春游。 琼库什台村是哈萨克族牧民聚居点,不时有骑马牧民赶着牛羊回村,入秋后天气渐冷,天山深处的达坂已经积雪,牧民开始从深山牧场往村子里撤,牛背马背上驮着大捆大捆的家当。 沿途牧民总是向我们投来好奇的目光,路上临时抱佛脚学了一句哈萨克语的“你好”——甲可思摸,这下终于能派上用场,于是见人就是“甲可思摸”,把迎面而来的牧民挨个“摸”了一遍,尽管“摸”得很认真,老米有时还帮着“摸”,有些牧民甚至连“摸”了好几遍,我们殷勤的劳动却没有收获热情的果实。 大多数牧民骑在高头大马上傲然斜睨,神色冷然,骑马的看不起走路的我能理解,自古以来,骑兵瞧不起步兵本就是一种光荣传统。所以,偶尔有骑兵点点头就会引来我们使劲的“摸”,偶尔有骑兵赏脸回“摸”步兵一下,这一“摸”总是让我很激动。驮着全副家当回村的牧民,这头牛长的有些喜剧,像是戴着白色面具 再来一次? 进山的道路沿着溪流左岸缓慢爬升,穿出树林,雨水更加稠密,茫茫白雾笼罩着山野,哗哗的流水声回荡在山谷。 云雾中行走,我们对风景的期待已经降到最低准,偶尔浓雾倏忽散开,那仿若施舍般显露出来的茵茵草地和山谷木屋,总是引得我和老米手忙脚乱,很没出息的抢着掏相机。 斜坡上马道泥泞湿滑,泥浆被牲口践踏得一团糟,所谓马道,现在看起来就是马走起来很爽,人走起来很不爽的道路。不愿在泥浆里深一脚浅一脚的踩,改走上斜坡草地,不料绿茵草地积满水更加湿滑,暗藏杀机。 没走出多远,支撑脚一滑,身体陡然歪斜,肩上压着70斤的重量,担心受伤不敢硬拧,把相机紧搂在怀里,侧身重重的倒在泥水里,慢慢的爬起身,已成了个泥人。 老米和简单呆呆的看我表演,连忙转头问老米:“拍照了没有?”两人连连摇头,看到我遗憾的表情,老米说,“或者,你再来一次?”斜坡草地,看上去很美,狼狈不堪的从地上爬起来,满脸是泥 邀请来得太早 爬上山坡,道旁木屋里走出一个年轻女子,在雨中径直向我们走来,用生硬的汉语招呼着:“休息不?吃饭不?”反复问了几遍又用手做出扒饭的动作。 走在山谷里,沿途擦身而过的牧民都显得很冷淡,突然走出个年轻女子这么热情的邀请,巨大的反差让我有点受宠若惊。 通常在旅行途中,别说这样热情的邀请没法拒绝,即使是蹭吃蹭喝的机会偶尔乍现,都会让我忙不迭的扑上去。 回头看看老米和简单,他们对年轻女人的热情邀请显得无动于衷,的确,年轻女人的邀请来得太早了些,即使在冰冷的雨水中走路很不爽,可是才走一个多小时就让他们停下来吃喝享乐,老米可能无所谓,简单多半打死也不从。 悻悻婉拒了女人的热情邀请,继续向雨雾弥漫的山谷深处走去,走出很远,还心欠欠的频频回头张望。 路痴定律 雨水无休止的倾泻,内衣已经湿透,气温降得很低,就在卸包吃馕那一小会儿功夫,双手很快就冻僵,连馕饼都拿捏不住。 走到近7点半,道旁又是一座空置的木屋,新疆的天空到9点钟才全黑,拿不准天黑前还能不能遇到木屋,这样的坏天气在泥泞的草地上扎营简直就是一场悲剧。 在木屋里扎营,老米没意见,简单却很不乐意。 简单已经冲到前面很远,被叫回来时满脸的不情愿,她说刚开始兴奋起来,状态正好走的正带劲就叫停当然很不爽。不情不愿的卸下包,简单还舍不得进屋,带着没走满意的无奈表情,独个儿在雨中转悠了几圈又主动提出去河边提水。 简单高高兴兴提着水桶去河边继续过瘾,我和老米燃起篝火,身上的衣服都快烤干,简单还没回来,心中有些惴惴不安,正准备出门找人,简单带着满身水汽闯进来,满脸惊惶地说:“糟糕,迷路了,差点我就回不来了!” 到100米远的地方打水也会迷路?我和老米面面相觑,都有点回不过神来。 细问才弄明白,简单来到坡下的小溪,装满水桶掉头就走,走到一个断崖边才发觉走错了路,既然已经走晕了头,路痴驴肯定弄不明白自己走到了哪里,也弄不明白自己是怎么走到这里来的。呼喊了几声没有回应,简单这下慌了神,提着水桶东奔西跑,却总也走不出山沟,后来糊里糊涂从某个地方钻出来,看到木屋才好不容易摸回来。 “打水后你怎么就没按原路返回呢?”老米觉得不可思议。 “转过身就糊涂了,以为走的就是原路哒,每次都这样,只要我认为方向是正确的,那一定已经弄错了。”简单一脸的无辜,显得很委屈。 老米是第一次领教简单的路痴绝活,很有些后怕,“早知道这样,应该把救生哨给你带在身上,迷路了就吹哨。” “哨子解决不了问,以后简单去打水得给她配个向导。”路痴驴的路痴本色我曾经深刻领教过,已经是有点见惯不惊,不过看到老米对简单的路痴本质认识还不够深刻,忍不住开口提醒他。 经过了这茬,对路痴驴的保护开始形成制度,行进队型严格固定——我开路,老米收队,简单夹在中间。同时明确了三条纪律——绝对不允许简单冲到队伍前面或在队伍后面逗留;行进途中,必须确保简单始终处于我和老米至少一人的视线以内;绝对禁止简单同学的营地活动超过视线范围(嘘嘘除外)。 这才刚出发,简单就给我们来了个下马威,路痴定律随之出炉——只要简单认为是正确的,那一定已经错了。 英俊少年 清晨,雨过天晴,浓雾依然弥漫山谷。 收拾出发已经10点钟,一个哈萨克少年骑马追上我们,超越后却并不远去,就呆在前面三五米的地方慢慢催马前行,英俊少年显得对我们很感兴趣,坐在马背上回转身,眼神直勾勾紧盯着我们。 “甲可思摸。”连摸几遍没有反应,英俊少年马背上回身的姿势仿佛凝固一般,依然是直勾勾的盯着,始终保持在我们前面一点走着,颇有点带路的意味。 其实,沿途的哈萨克牧民虽然冷漠,却总会不由自主流露出对旅游者的浓厚兴趣,虽然长居深山不善交流,脸上总是一副冷漠表情,但身体语言却暴露了他们的内心想法。 通常牧民远远看到我们多半会早早的挺直胸膛,在马背上坐的笔直,经过身边时突然催马加速,快速跑出一段再潇洒的勒马回头张望。 这个英俊少年也不例外,尽管骑在马上就像一尊雕塑,但看得出雕塑对我们的兴趣是相当的浓厚。 死的比活的管用 马道从山坡上切到山谷溪流边,一座木桥横跨溪流,另一条路沿溪流左岸通向山谷深处,“包扎墩,这里?”我指着木桥试探地问少年,少年很快做出回应,使劲的摇着头,再问了一遍,少年还是摇头,还抬手指了指左边的山道。 其实攻略上写的很清楚,过桥是正道,不过,攻略是死的,人是活的。 相信人还是相信攻略,这是个问! 后来回想起来,提出这个问,就已经是脑子被驴踢了的表现。 心里拿不准,指着木桥又问了一遍,少年坚决的摇摇头,催马走上左边山道停下来等我。 少年很执着的等在前面,犹豫了半天跟上少年,爬上草坡,少年脸上绽开了笑容,竟然哼起曲子来,拍着马鞍冲我招招手,示意让我上马。 我回头示意简单,简单很不屑的摇摇头,这下少年兴趣马上发生转移,掉转马头紧随简单身旁行走,眼睛直勾勾的盯着简单,曲子哼的更起劲了。 翻过山坳,浓雾中传出犬吠声声,木屋前几只牧羊犬作势扑咬,一个汉子应声出门喝止。看到我们,汉子显得很激动,手舞足蹈抛出一长串话来,他越激动我心里越拧巴,因为他的汉话太拧巴。 果然,我们走错了路,虽然人是活的攻略是死的,不过这次死的显然比活的更管用。 好不容易逮着个能开口说话的牧人,连忙拉住他询问科克苏河上的溜索。 “不在,没有了。”汉子连连摇头。 “桥?木桥?在不在?” “不在,冲走了!” 汉子的回答让我心里一沉,老米和简单心态很好,“到了河边再说吧。” 汉子叫来一个老汉,指着树林方向,让他带我们抄近路插过去。 光线的诱惑 随着老汉跨过独木桥,翻过山坡,走出树林,眼前豁然开朗,宽阔的斜坡草地一直延向浓雾弥漫的山谷。 告别老汉,顺草坡而下,遮蔽山谷的浓雾仿佛被一只无形的手牵引,大幕般缓缓向上提起,山谷里的草甸、木屋、牛羊从大幕下一点一点显露出来,阳光星星点点洒落草场,沉睡的大地开始苏醒,盎然生机在起伏的山峦间涌动。 由衷的喜悦在心里流淌,我踏露而行,缓步走进慢慢显露的梦幻世界。晨雾的帷幕慢慢拉开,云雾渐渐散去时的光线那么迷人,我和老米像中了魔似地,频频举起相机按下快门。 帷幕吊胃口般走几步就拉开一点点,云雾一点一点的拉开,阳光一点一点的洒落,大脑已经停止了运转被视觉支配着,恍恍惚惚走上几步,就举起相机按下快门,三步一停,五步一顿,一点一点被诱惑着迈动脚步。 这段路程的记忆很模糊,或者当时脑子里本就已经是模糊不清,简直就是一段魔幻的演绎,恍惚中已经不是在行走,似乎化作了一股快乐的溪流,从山坡上缓缓淌进雨后初晴的山谷牧场,就像一个蹩脚的后期剪辑作品,上一个镜头里我还在山坡上面对着茫茫白雾,下一个镜头切过来已经站在仙境般的谷地四处张望。 雾气渐散,阳光一缕一缕穿透云雾,仿佛带着重量般冲坠到山谷草地,草尖上密集的露珠在阳光映射下精灵般熠熠生辉,仙境一样的通透色彩在山谷里流动,清鲜的青草芳香,湿润的泥土气息,伴随着袅袅缥缈的薄雾在草地上飘荡,沁人心脾。 都是迷路惹的祸 几道栅栏挡在面前,牧场上忙碌的妇人走过来指点我们从栅栏低矮处翻进去,刚落地,她的老公从木屋后转出来,热情邀请我们进屋喝茶。扔下背包径直往屋里去,我不敢客气,怕一客气就把机会给客气掉了。 汉子叫卡德拉洪,他一眼瞥见我手里的相机,伸手就把老婆拉到面前,问我:“照相?” 俗话说吃人的嘴软,这样的问话通常也就只是走个过场而已。 卡德拉洪拉着老婆转来转去摆POSE,拍了逆光拍顺光、拍了牧场背景换木屋背景再换牛羊背景,拍完老婆接着拍夫妻照,也是顺光逆光牧场木屋牛羊换着花样来…… 好不容易折腾完,我还惦记着屋子里的热茶,正准备收工往屋里钻,卡德拉洪把手指塞进嘴里打出个响亮的呼哨,一个少年应声从山坡上拍马冲出,黑马少年冲到近前,原来是卡德拉洪二世驾临,于是又是一番排列组合,拍了儿子拍母子,拍了马上拍马下,拍了逆光拍顺光…… 相机装进包之前我环顾四周,忍不住多问了一句:“您,家里还有其他人吗?”卡德拉洪摇摇头把我们迎进木屋。 按规矩进屋之前先洗手,炕桌上很快摆出奶茶、面饼、奶油,卡德拉洪手法熟练的切着熟羊肉。喝着醇香奶茶,嚼着香喷喷的羊肉,清炖羊肉是那样的鲜美,我忍不住说了一句:“都是迷路惹的祸啊!”老米砸吧着嘴连连点头。 山寨版挤奶工,性别优势很明显 天山牧场 不知不觉就在卡德拉洪家里磨蹭了一个多小时,在简单的催促下才不舍作别。 火辣的阳光从湛蓝天空洒落下来,潮湿的草地蒸腾起一团团雾气,紧贴着地面漂浮,像一丛丛白色的火焰在燃烧。 皑皑雪山环绕山谷,峰顶冰雪在阳光下烁烁生辉,绿草如茵铺满大地,牛羊散落在草甸上悠闲的踱步,溪流切开绿草地蜿蜒流淌,潺潺的流水声悦耳动听,天地间透出恬静安详的气息。眼前这一切与脑子里臆想了无数遍的天山牧场竟然分毫不差,一种遥远又熟悉的感觉油然而生,心神安宁,信步缓行,我听得见心脏在舒缓的跳动。 穿行在美丽的山谷,忍不住回头对老米感叹,这一段路大概就是天山牧场的精髓了吧。 灿烂的阳光把坏天气带来的阴郁一扫而光,有了阳光的眷顾,整个山谷焕发出熠熠神彩。阳光也有副作用,自从它出现以后,我们的队伍行走起来就慢的像蜗牛,我和老米走走停停,尽情释放摁下快门的快感。 现在回想起来,似乎从第二天开始,懒散悠游的种子就开始在队伍里萌芽,我和老米首先就已经在阳光、美景面前举手缴械,很默契的把拍照排在了第一位,那些出发前的徒步计划被有意无意的忽略掉。 这些变化很微妙,一门心思追求傻走的简单竟然没有及时感知,也就没有提出抗议,这也无意中助长了我们的歪风邪气。 可怕的是,这些行走中的变化,仅仅只是刚开始。 负重 溪流在山谷流淌,马道穿行溪畔,行走在阳光照耀的青草地,与昨天的雨雾待遇相比,今天简直就是进了天堂。 转过山弯,海拔3660米的包扎墩达坂跃入眼帘,雪山环绕,马道沿着山谷缓慢爬升,走过溪流上的木桥,坡度变陡,队伍开始渐渐拉长。 出发前队伍减少了一个人,负重的压力陡然增加,因为乌孙出山后无法采购的原因,穿越夏特的很多物品不得不全程背负。在乌鲁木齐,背包过秤的结果让我们有点发怵,老米和简单分别是66斤、50斤,背包重量都超过了体重的一半,出发前反复测算的控制重量被大大突破。 虽然每件超重物品都只超了一点点,但汇总起来就很可怕。食品主要由简单采购,按照清单检查时,每种食品的超重理由她都说的很充分——没有小包装、重量估计失误、某样东西特好吃必不可少、某样东西是为某样东西配套必不可少、某样东西是我没考虑到她想到的必不可少……这些理由我统统都能接受,她的一口袋护肤品超计划我也能忍受,她的不锈钢大饭盒纯属多余我咬着牙也忍了,但当她掏出一双沉甸甸的精钢筷子时,直接让我崩溃了,伸手夺过来要扔掉,简单着急的阻拦,“别!这是我家最好的筷子,用很多年了。”后来,每当她掏出这沉甸甸的传家宝吃饭,都会把我给重新刺激一次。 清理半天的结果让我很郁闷,唯一减掉的就是我那把折叠大刀。 组队时对老米的许诺是负重不超过50斤,主要是担心报价太高把他给吓退,毕竟这是他的第一次负重徒步。把人拉进队伍后给他说了实话——不超过55斤,我心里明白这个重量还有不少水分,毕竟我们的公司刚刚组建,业绩压力太大容易把新员工给吓跑。 退出一名队员后报价顺势涨到60斤,通货膨胀的压力在那儿明摆着,所以这次涨价老米很理解。老米这人很重感情,虽然这个重量已经让他心里打鼓晚上睡不安稳,但作为多年老友,他显然不好意思到这个节骨眼上还拆我的吊桥。第一次负重就享受到这样良好的待遇,老米还没出门心里就已经是忐忑不安,在乌鲁木齐称重后更是显得心事重重。 不过两天走下来大伙儿很快从心理和生理上都适应了背负,负重已经不是什么负担。老米只是抱怨背负重量严重影响立片的拍摄操作,这一点我也深受其苦,重压下的右肩右臂频繁抬起,不仅稳定性差,背包带紧勒下还有点呼吸困难,没多久我和老米的右肩就红肿起来,抬手拍立片简直就是煎熬。 心有不甘的扎营 马道在乱石陡坡上延伸,第一次负重爬山老米需要适应节奏,渐渐的落在了后面。 走到下午六点,天气陡变,乌云翻滚着从包扎墩达坂上压下来,天空飘起了雪花,很快雪花变成黄豆大的雹粒噼里啪啦洒下来。 今天的计划是翻过包扎墩达坂扎营,这一路上挥霍了太多时间,按我们的进度估计,爬上达坂正好是天黑时分,下山还需要一两个小时。望着乌云翻滚的达坂,在恶劣的天气里走夜路还是让我有些惴惴不安,不过这么早就停下扎营心里更是不甘,呆望着垭口犹豫不定,回头与追上来的老米商量。 老米毫不犹豫的说安全第一,正好山湾里有个空置的木屋,我顺水推舟安排在木屋里卸包扎营。 这么早就安营扎寨,仍然是老米很高兴,简单很不甘心。在干燥的木屋里烧水做饭,老米满怀憧憬的询问,“我们是不是每天都能住在这样的木屋里?” 午夜,天气好转,如水月光铺满山谷,亮如白昼。 康复治疗 胃病和失眠一直折磨老米多年,体质每况愈下。08年我计划穿越巴丹吉林沙漠,寻伴无果的情况下就开始撺掇老米把他的处男行贡献出来,我的想法一开始就把他给吓着了,头摇的像拨浪鼓。也难怪,从没徒步过,一走就是十多天,而且还是进沙漠,想起来都是灾难,老米死活不从。 无奈之下我借着酒劲就开始给他下猛药,“老米呀,一个男人,这辈子总得做出一两件自己觉得不可能的事情来,当你老了以后可以翻出来在儿子面前炫耀。”这贴药药性太猛,把老米刺激的半宿没睡着,大清早就毅然决然的告诉我,“豁出去了!” 老米壮着胆子到巴丹吉林沙漠里走了11天,顶着狂风暴雨烈日的行走,每天喝着盐碱水,饱一顿饥一顿吃着含沙量很高的饭菜,睡在风吹雨打的帐篷里,老米惊喜地发现困扰多年的胃病和失眠症竟然不治而愈,看到老米从沙漠里回来变得睡觉倍儿香、吃饭倍儿棒、身体倍儿壮、精神头倍儿足,米嫂很是满意。 身体变好后老米消停了两年没再动弹,于是那些老毛病又开始跳出来作怪,身体状况越来越让米嫂感到担心。 今年的天山穿越寻伴依然很困难,无奈中再次打上了老米的主意,在我的反复撺掇和米嫂的坚决支持下,老米终于下定决心再来一次康复治疗。 疗效很神奇,简直就是立竿见影,从走路的第一天开始,老米就变得能吃能睡,晚上躺进睡袋不到半分钟就开始打鼾,失眠症的影子都找不到一点,反倒弄得我在他的鼾声干扰下开始失眠。 旅程还没过半,再次尝到甜头的老米就已经下定决心——以后每年巩固一次疗效。 监护人 温暖的阳光洒进山谷,天气大晴,老米在笔记本上如此记录——第三天,10点30分出发,我们的队伍越来越拖沓。 的确如此,我们的队伍以每天延迟半个小时拔营的速度迅速堕落下去,直到第六天出发时,一看时间竟然已经是中午12点,这才让我们开始悚然警觉。 爬上山坳,宽广的乱石山谷尽头就是包扎墩达坂,达坂上积雪不多,琼库什台村牧民比划的雪深及大腿显然是在吓唬人。 我们没走马道,朝着垭口方向,从谷底径直往上切,草坡爬上去就进入乱石堆,石缝里不时散落着北山羊那硕大的羊角,简单在乱石上轻盈的快速挪动,老米对这样的走法有些不适应,每一步都踩得很稳,渐渐落到后面。 第一天就约定老米收队,负责对简单的保护,如果是平路和下坡路,他的保护做得非常到位,老米做事很是认真严谨,严格贯彻人盯人的对位防守策略,总是寸步不离的把简单跟得很紧,这样严密的保护显得有点矫枉过正,看起来老米似乎不是在担心路痴驴走丢,而是在防止路痴驴一不留神就插翅飞走。 一旦开始爬山老米的保护就变得失控,简单每逢爬山必定会兴奋起来,而且是山势越陡越高兴,海拔越高越兴奋,步子迈得飞快,总是把监护人甩到后面很远,如果是冲垭口,那简直就是出笼的小鸟,不管不顾一个劲往前冲。 对这种一门心思傻走的路痴型特质人群,脱离监护是很危险的举动,于是给她约法三章,爬山时,收队的监护人可以甩,开路的监护人不能超,简单答应的很憋屈,却很守纪律,不越雷池一步。 心理学原理告诉我们,人的思维定势一旦形成,往往就像一个无形的囚笼把自己罩起来,简单就是个典型例子,后来,偶尔因拍照时需要道具让她走到我前面去,她犹豫着看过来的眼神,分明是在怀疑我的提议会不会是个陷阱。 包扎墩达坂 昨天路上来往的牧民还是络绎不绝,到今天却一下子全没了影,空旷的山谷里只有我们仨在孤单的行走。 直到走上达坂下的之字形陡坡,马道上才开始出现积雪和薄冰,马道很好走,严格按照走五十步驻步喘五口气的节奏走路,上升的很快。 快到垭口,横切过一段平路,前方就是垭口,垭口岩石上赫然站着一只黑狗,看到我冒头就作势欲扑狂吠起来,垭口上竟然有劫道的狗?难道新疆的狗都这么霸道?如此牛狗!我对它不由得肃然起敬。 朝着霸占垭口的牛狗就冲了过去,还没等我举起登山杖,黑狗就忙不迭转身奔逃,待我爬上垭口,它已经变成了一个小黑点。 垭口寒风刺骨,放眼望去,碧空如洗,广阔山谷一览无遗,湛蓝的天幕下峰峦叠嶂,雪山屹立连绵不绝,阳光照射在达坂冰川上,反射出耀眼的光芒,我们顶着寒风呆了大半个小时开始下山。在山下又遇到落荒而逃的黑狗,当它消除敌意后,抵近拍照留念 马队的邀请 沿着溪流连下两个陡坡,走进了宽阔草场,草场尽头散落着两座木屋,远远的看到山腰木屋处走出一只马队,很快来到近前。 三男一女一婴五马一声不哼横挡在面前,审视的眼神上下打量,那只收买路钱的黑狗和他们站在一起,有了后台肯定就有底气,黑狗呲牙咧嘴的盯着我。 一声不哼是因为不会说汉话,冷漠是深山里牧民的天性使然,审视是对陌生人好奇。山里的牧民都显得很矜持,不会一见到你就热情起来,他们会仔细观察你的言行,直到决定接受你,不过,即便接受了你,他们看起来仍然很矜持,只能从眼角和嘴角的细微变化看出一点对你的好感来。 老米从后面赶上来把烟递过去,男人们脸上开始有了笑容,抱着孩子的女人开始叽里咕噜的问话。 语言不通,试探着模仿他们拿腔拿调的口气说了几声:“我们,去,科克苏河。”男人们对视一眼,有人点了点头,指了指山下科克苏河的方向,领头的大鼻子汉子拍了拍空马鞍,示意我们可以上马,回头向简单转达了马队的邀请,“不骑,走路更舒服!”简单使劲的摇着头。 马队沿着河谷溪流一溜小跑,在泥泞崎岖的马道上很快走远。午后煮茶休息,这是每天必不可少的内容,通常情况会耽搁一个小时多一点,这一路上的南瓜皮的确有点多三男一女一婴五马挡住去路,别说我不识数,有一匹被挡住了我们试图追着马队走,但两条小溪缠住我们的脚步,马队很快没影了
带你一次游遍呼伦贝尔我的四次骑行之路 这是我三年来骑行呼伦贝尔的经历。 之所以现在才集合成帖,不是想三年不鸣,一鸣惊人,而是因为一个字——懒。 不过这样也有好处,沉淀下来的的才是精华。因为时间就像一把大漏勺,滤过了了无数细节,却留下了那些深深刻在脑海里的东西。 狐狸乌鸦说过,游记要写的像小说一样好看,像散文一样真情,像杂文一样真实。狐狸乌鸦是一个牛逼的人,所以能说出这样牛逼的话。我也喜欢这样的游记,因为别人不是去看你的流水账的。但我不是作家,写不出那样牛逼的文字,只能罗列成流水账给大家。与此同时,郑重声明,我也不是一个摄影家,帖子里面的照片也只能称为记录而已,拍摄工具更是五花八门,有入门单反,有普通卡片,有手机摄影,甚至还有视频截图。归结起来一句话——不喜莫入。 之于为什么要选择骑行的方式,我也答不上来。因为这个问我已经思考了整整三年,至今没有答案。 三年前那个阳光灿烂的下午,在一个名叫哈达图的村庄,一个跛着腿的老太太问正在狼吞虎咽消灭冰淇淋的我一个困扰着所有骑行者的终极问,你为什么要骑行? 为什么?骑行的意义,到底是自我救赎,还是自我放逐。是去陌生的远方寻找世界上的另一个自己,还是逃离现实的尘嚣让一切归零。是一种对未来的觊望与躁动,还是一种在现实压力下的爆发与抗争,抑或只是一种像模像样地装逼。 我不知道答案,所以我当时只能对那个跛腿老妇装逼地傻笑。 我在三十岁之后,有那么一段时间,会经常想到死亡的问。对于我们而言,死亡代表着生命的结束,以及之后的全然的未知,但比死亡本身更可怕的,是死亡的不确定性,死亡当然“将来进行时”,但“将来”可能是指遥远的几十年后,也可能就指下一秒。所以佛家不去探求长生之道,而是告诫世人要“活在当下”,这也许就是我选择骑行的终极原因。此外,骑行的过程和生命的进程极其相似,自然与社会的和谐之道,自由与未知的矛盾之道,顺境与逆旅的参悟之道。可以说,生命本身就是一次充满不确定性的骑行,沿途的风景固然值得留恋,目的完成也必不可少。 关于呼伦贝尔,大家可以询问度娘,她比我的介绍详尽得多,这里无须多言。要让我归纳一下,那就是骑过西藏的,一时骑不了西藏的,或者不屑于骑行西藏的,骑行呼伦贝尔吧!你来或者不来,那水草丰美的草原,松涛激荡的大兴安岭,纵横交错的河流,就在那里等着你!视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!!! 一、单车环骑呼伦贝尔(2012年7月22日开始,总里程约2126公里) 满洲里市——黑山头镇——七卡村——室韦乡——莫尔道嘎镇——根河市——甘河镇——加格达奇市——大杨树镇——莫力达瓦自治旗——阿荣旗——扎兰屯市——柴河镇——阿尔山市——新巴尔虎左旗——满洲里市 二、沿着大兴安岭的脊背去漠河(2011年7月22日开始,总里程约750公里) 牙克石市——库都尔镇——根河市——金河镇——满归镇——漠河县——北极村 三、陪你一起看草原,我的归乡之旅(2011年7月30日开始,总里程约600公里) 海拉尔市——伊敏镇——阿尔山市——索伦镇——乌兰浩特市 四、草原民俗之旅(2010年7月20日开始,总里程约380公里)牙克石市——海拉尔市——拉不大林市——恩和乡——室韦乡视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!! 视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!! 视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!!视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!! 视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!!视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!!视觉盛宴即将开始,精彩片花抢先看!! 先露一小脸儿…… 大片正式开始……(第一部分)单车环骑呼伦贝尔(2012年7月22日开始,总里程约2126公里)满洲里市——黑山头镇——七卡村——室韦乡——莫尔道嘎镇——根河市——甘河镇——加格达奇市——大杨树镇——莫力达瓦自治旗——阿荣旗——扎兰屯市——柴河镇——阿尔山市——新巴尔虎左旗——满洲里市 环行呼伦贝尔总里程2126公里,骑行时间为15天,平均每天骑行近142公里。从呼伦湖出发,绕一个大圈子又返回呼伦湖。前六天是两人同骑,后九天是我一人独行。最短一天骑过70公里,最长有六天超过180公里。走过174公里的边境烂路,足迹踏遍呼伦贝尔所有旗县。期间两次横穿大兴安岭,翻越无数有名无名的大岭,创下过丘陵地区一日爬过几十座山头的个人受折磨记录。直插呼伦贝尔大草原腹地,在34度的高温下,穿越100多公里的无人区。最后在笔直的草原公路上,和几个在路上认识的骑友保持着骑行队形,一会排成S形,一会排成B形……最后终于将内蒙雄鹰铁骑团的旗帜插在了在呼伦湖畔!环行呼伦贝尔的路线图2012年7月21日,我和朋友宝山乘火车从牙克石抵达满洲里,准备开始环呼伦贝尔之旅。结果被在满洲里参加足球比赛的朋友得知消息,非要拉我顶替别人踢上一场比赛。想当年哥也是业余足球场上一位球星级的人物,位置是前腰兼队长,曾经代表兴安盟参加1997年内蒙古自治区三好杯足球赛,还在大学里面率领十几年没有在小组赛里面出过线的中文系勇夺亚军,那可是一袭红衣一位追风少年……无论是我个人还是中国足球,那都是一段阳光灿烂的日子! 我们的骑行从呼伦湖开始…… 百度是这样描述呼伦湖的—— 呼伦湖是中国北方数千里之内唯一的大泽,水域宽广,沼泽湿地连绵。面积2339平方公里,是内蒙古第一大湖、中国第四大淡水湖,与贝尔湖为姊妹湖。呼伦湖烟波浩渺,天水相连,白帆点点,波光粼粼,来这里旅游,不但可以观赏到美丽的景色,还可以品尝到数百种鱼虾做成的美味佳肴…… 不过这是从前! 现在是这样的—— 据气象部门的遥感卫星监测,2000年4月呼伦湖的湖面面积为2370平方公里,到了2010年6月,湖面面积只剩下了1850平方公里,整整减少了520平方公里。 呼伦湖是呼伦贝尔草原的肾,肾坏了,当然会出大事情。最直接的结果就是周边草原的地下水不断补充到湖中,造成草原地下水位下降,加剧草原沙化和草场退化。 所以我们的骑行选择从呼伦湖开始,又到呼伦湖结束,也是希望能吸引大家的目光投到这片草原! 踢完球,简单的和朋友们小聚了一下,带着肚子里的三瓶啤酒和一身的疼痛,我和宝山向呼伦湖进发…… 满洲里和扎赉诺尔之间的大觉禅寺,锗红色的墙金色的瓦,依着山坡而建,衬着无边的绿色,还是比较壮观。扎莱诺尔---猛犸象的故乡! 据介绍,1980年4月露天矿在达兰鄂罗木古河道上进行剥离作业时,发现猛犸象骨骼化石,现保存在扎赉诺尔煤业公司少年宫内。猛犸象是生存于距今33700年前的身披长毛的古代大象。经过半年多的紧张修复,猛犸象化石被合并、装架成一具完整的骨架,沉睡地下数万年之久的巨兽雄姿得以再现。这具骨骸化石装架后高达4.7米,长9米,门齿长达3.1米,据推算它生前的体重在8吨以上,是我国迄今古象化石本中最大的一具,被誉为中国古象王国中的“巨人”。 扎赉诺尔是满洲里的工贸卫星城(县级区)。扎赉诺尔有着悠久的历史,早在二、三万年以前,扎赉诺尔远古人类就在这里繁衍生息,创造了灿烂辉煌的扎赉诺尔文化。扎赉诺尔古猿人头骨、拓跋鲜卑古墓群、蘑菇山旧石器遗址、猛犸象化石、金代边壕等映射着 " 扎赉诺尔文化 " 丰厚的底蕴,构成了扎赉诺尔独具特色的古文化遗址旅游。 第一次扎胎 我在补胎。这时上午踢了一整场足球的身体开始疲态尽显,没有不疼的地方。满洲里到呼伦湖只有36公里,我累得实在难以跟上宝山。也借着补胎好好歇歇!顺便拍一张宝山孤寂的身影这是我第三次来到呼伦湖畔夕阳西下,燕雀归巢,在天空划过一条淡淡的痕迹。残阳给湖面镀上一层薄雾似的金黄,在那水天交汇之处渐渐融为一色 也把地上的两条人影拉长。在这静谧的时光里,坐在木桥上,点燃一根烟,让双腿自由自在地荡来荡去…… 正式骑行的第一天——朝辞满洲里,暮至黑山头! 学过木兰诗吧?有这样一句,旦辞黄河去,暮至黑山头,貌似花木兰的骏马比我的山地车要迅猛得多.我们沿边境线,经胡列也吐至黑山头镇,行程约190公里。这是我最累的一天,昨天踢球的疲劳和伤痛此时都找了上来。平时我和宝山骑行一般都是我来领骑,今天能跟上他都感觉是在拼命! 这是我们住的旅店,40元两个单间,名字起得很好吧? 在大桥上第二次扎胎! 我们途经的第一条大河——海拉尔河从国道变到省道,就是这条路通向黑山头 骑行在一望无垠的草原上,心胸随之开阔,有点草原骑士的味道一个不知名的小村庄,好像是以养牛为主。土坯房,干牛粪,沿袭着千百年来的生活传统。唯有风力发电机,提醒着我们这是现代社会!路边开满了粉红的牵牛花草原人家胡列也吐是扎区到黑山头的中间,疲惫的我们不断地盼望着早点迎来这个地名。宝山一路总问:“狐狸野兔在哪里啊”?通往“狐狸野兔”的道路一路不断经过边防哨所,但是没看见士兵。还有这样绵长的铁丝网……不知道我把照片发在这里会不会泄露秘密。钓鱼岛危机期间,大家要提高警惕,保卫祖国!!!知道什么是行摄之徒吗? 路上的牛交警正在下班回家,我们就这样对视,它在想些什么呢?牛群每日早起吃草,日落归栏,朝朝暮暮,周而复始。我们呢?也生活在一个圆里,每天走着,却困在原地,活着也如同死去……人的存在本身无意义,但人却可以在存在的基础上,用自己的个性和自由,去换来属于自己的意义。 给大家奉上一首《北京青年》的主歌《存在》存在词曲 汪峰多少人走着却困在原地 多少人活着却如同死去 多少人爱着却好似分离 多少人笑着却满含泪滴 谁知道我们该去向何处 谁明白生命已变为何物 是否找个借口继续苟活 或是展翅高飞保持愤怒 我该如何存在 多少次荣耀却感觉屈辱 多少次狂喜却倍受痛楚 多少次幸福却心如刀绞 多少次灿烂却失魂落魄 谁知道我们该去向何处 谁明白生命已变为何物 是否找个借口继续苟活 或是展翅高飞保持愤怒 谁知道我们该梦归何处 谁明白尊严已沦为何物 是否找个理由随波逐流 或是勇敢前行挣脱牢笼 我该如何存在又是一个不知名的小村庄,不过好在有商店,饥肠辘辘的我们用方便面充饥,这是宝山兄弟在喝啤酒。在这里我们发现了同一个群里的骑友明镜的行踪,他一个人昨晚住在了这里。有谁见过这样纯天然原生态的足球场,真不知我们昨天的比赛要是放在这里会有什么效果。这个虎头虎脑的小家伙一点也不怕陌生人。他对我的车子很好奇,结果试骑了以后跟我说,你的车子不好,太沉,不如他的轻巧。然后一溜烟的在草地上骑走了。这个村子有人在院子里喝啤酒,烤肉串,并且大声喊我过去一起喝点,我笑着摆摆手,抓紧时间去赶宝山。由于天色渐暗,我和宝山轮流领骑,以接近三十迈的速度狂奔了近一个小时,耗尽了身体里最后一点能量。我们跋涉近190公里,终于到达第一天的终点——黑山头镇。此黑山头绝不是《木兰诗》里的黑山头, 这里有一个著名的黑山头古城遗址,从辽代开始,后来成为成吉思汗大弟弟拙赤·哈撒尔的封地,距今已有700多年。 呵呵,是一个有历史的地方。而黑山头镇已经成为额尔古纳市重要的旅游中转站,镇里到处都是旅店和游客。 这几张照片是借的,希望大家更好地了解黑山头。 骑行第二天,从黑山头镇到沿边境线经五卡至七卡村。大约90公里,全是砂石路,但路况还算可以,除个别路段泥泞不堪以外。我的身体恢复了一些,基本是我在领骑。早晨的阳光格外柔和……从这开始,宝山不断停下来摆弄他的包搓板路大铁桥,牢固异常,据说是日本人
妈妈你是不是又要出发了?是的我的宝贝。这次你要去哪里?很远很远很远吗?羌塘草原,很远呢!妈妈,那是在哪里啊?咱们家的西北以北。会很苦很苦吗?会很艰苦的。那你不要去了好不好,我会心疼。不行呀,宝贝。这是个约定,不可以退缩的。妈妈,那你走不动的时候,就想着我爱你,想着我在家里等你回来,你就肯定有力气走得动了。。。。好的,我的宝贝,妈妈记住了 前言:这篇游记是我作为普通背包客同时又是一个孩子妈妈出行三十四天点滴的记录。不同以往的出行,这次孩子爱和鼓励一路支撑我走下来。不喜好者绕路即可。 我亲爱的孩子: 离开你的三十四天里,妈妈无时不刻惦记着千里之外的你。作为一个背包爱好者,注定一年中会有段时间不能陪在你身边,对此妈妈心里总怀着一份歉意和愧疚。你心里一定怪妈妈自私,说走就走,可是妈妈要对你说,人一生总要有自己的一份坚持,总要做一次自己想做的事情,走一次自己想走的路。相信等你长大,会理解这一切的。感谢你,小小男子汉,勇敢的面对妈妈不在家的日子,如你所说那样支持妈妈背包。为此,这篇游记献给你,我的天使。 首先妈妈要告诉你,我的孩子,要记住所无论什么事情,只有自己亲身经历才知道真正的事实,切不要以你自己的主观思想去妄下评论。无人区的穿越,不是有些人想象的那么拉风,刺激,玩酷,炫耀,也不是随意就可去,背着包就能走的,不过也不要想的遥不可及,不可逾越。故事很长,我慢慢的讲,你慢慢的听。。。。。。。 我的孩子,羌塘草原在藏北高原,在昆仑山脉、唐古拉山脉和冈底斯山脉之间。这里寒冷无比,真正的滴水成冰,地形地貌多变,有草原、高山草甸、戈壁、湖泊、山川,这十八天,妈妈亲眼见到大自然种种奇妙的融合。这些之前只有在电视或者书里面才有所了解。这里还有许多的野生动物,牦牛,藏羚羊,野驴,鹰,熊,还有一种妈妈不知道名字的鼠类动物。这是个与你生活的环境截然不同的世界。 2012年3月30日:我的孩子:出发了,在送你上学后,回家最后整理行囊直奔南京禄口机场。天一直下着雨,你说妈妈每次出门天气总是不好,你也总是会生病。妈妈真想告诉你,心里多么在乎你,爱着你。因为乌鲁木齐大风,虽然下午两点就到机场了但飞机延误至晚上九点钟才能起飞。还好有朋友把妈妈接到夫子庙喝茶,休息,否则干坐机场候机是件非常磨人的事情。回想一下,出发前,天气一直不好,跑步断断续续,体力没有很好的得到提升,对能不能全程徒步真是心里没底。妈妈会尽量努力的,很多事情,你不去努力怎么知道行不行呢?这是妈妈一直和你说的,妈妈自己也一定要做到。飞机在银川经停,到达银川之前,遭遇气流,飞机颠簸异常厉害,忽上忽下的起伏,我的一颗心却无比安宁。机窗外一玄弯月明亮无比,机窗下是灯火通亮。终于在凌晨两点半,平安降落乌鲁木齐,我的孩子,你肯定在熟睡中呢。 2012年3月31日: 我的孩子:一夜没睡安稳,七点多就醒来了,这是你上学的时间呢,可乌鲁木齐还没天亮。你会诧异了吧?新疆和咱们家存在两个小时时差,直到十点钟街上才慢慢有人出现。和红袖阿姨汇合后,红袖阿姨带着我溜达在乌鲁木齐的小巷里,吃烤肉,新疆凉皮,然后再到干果市场一通大肆采购。干果店里品种非常多,葡萄干,杏干,无花果干,还有大枣,巴旦木,东尝尝西尝尝,都不知道买些啥了。最后乱七八糟瞎买一通, 立刻快递回家,你会奇怪妈妈还没回家怎么包裹先到了。 因为飞库尔勒的航班是半夜的,所以应我强烈要求去逛了下大巴扎。“巴扎”,是维吾尔语,意思就是集市、农贸市场。走到这里,异域风情扑面而来,满街都是维吾尔族人。很多的工艺品琳琅满目。 大风的缘故,去库尔勒的航班很多都取消了,但妈妈和下午抵达乌鲁木齐的队友还是去机场想碰碰运气,还真是运气不错,和大部分队友会合后,在最后时间得到准时起飞的通知。这样凌晨一点钟到达库尔勒。在乌鲁木齐的大巴扎你能看见你熟悉的家乐福,喜欢的肯德基。 乌鲁木齐南北分界线很明显,南边维族聚集地,北边汉族聚集地。一到大巴扎附近,异域风情越发浓烈。不过我没有将镜头对准街上来来往往的人群,似乎真没有这个习惯拿着相机扫街,也并不以此为趣。这个坚持一直到拉萨也是如此,面对大昭寺虔诚的朝见磕头藏民,我不忍心让他们成为镜头里的道具。 仅此一张很远的,维族妇女和孩子的照片,让我想起牵着你的小手散步的场景。 2012年4月1日---4月2日 我的孩子:妈妈夜里总是睡不踏实,咳嗽的厉害。时差的缘故,在这里天天十点钟吃早饭,两点吃中饭,晚上九点吃晚饭。过着不可想象的日子,晚上九点多还天光大亮!吃完早饭,领队挨个的检查个人装备准备情况,没想到妈妈这个菜鸟居然收拾的还能评个七八十分,偷笑中。想想自己之前就是个什么都不懂的傻子一般,所以,我的孩子,任何事情不怕你不会,只怕你不肯去用心学习和做。 有个插曲,因为车队的队长带队还没有回来,出发时间不确定,我们只能原地待命。 晚上十一点半,最后一个队友,湖北的鱼姐姗姗来迟,这样穿越的十名队员全部到齐。大家互相招呼着,闲聊着。领队说,出发日期估计会拖到五号,这要到哪里去溜达一圈才好呢,可不能浪费宝贵的假期。 队伍有队伍的纪律,领队开了个会议,宣布一些徒步注意事项,路线安排以及物资购买的确定和分工。 学习是无止尽的,妈妈出发前GPS摸都没摸过一下,利用集体学习和实践的时机,赶紧的恶补。这是在无人区最重要的安全保障,没有这个在无人区非常容易走失,领队再三强调必须人手一台。每个人都认真的学习着,出行安全永远放在第一位!这是对自己也是最家人负责。嘻嘻,宝贝,你在照片中找的到哪个是妈妈吗? 新疆除了瓜果有名气,最不能错过的就是烤肉。才到库尔勒队友就强烈建议去吃囊坑烤肉,我很好奇,为啥叫囊坑烤肉?羊肉串咱这也有卖啊?有啥特殊的?到了地方一看,才知道真真的大不一样呢。烤肉是论斤称的卖,透着西北人的豪气,烤肉是放进一个大坑里烤制的,一架架排满。香气扑鼻,诱人垂涎三尺。宝贝,你最爱吃肉,不过你不爱吃羊肉,哈哈,所以假如你在的话,我一点不担心和你抢的打起来。你看见没有,肉就挂在架子上,要肥要瘦随意挑选,一坐下就有人上前招呼,你只管报要吃的部位和数量就好。 跑进厨房,追根究底的找囊坑,哈,果真两个大坑冒着香气,肉就是在那烤制的 呆了一会,烤的自己脸通红,赶紧的回座位,吃是正理,至于拍照嘛。。。。。。满手是油实在不方便。。。回复 ~懒猫~ 的帖子哎,咱菜园子里这会种了颗果树,嘻嘻嘻回复 小小闵 的帖子得了,你一贯作风,完篇时我通知你哈 2012年4月3日我的孩子:这次活动,妈妈负责的是全队的急救常识普及和药品购买。于是早饭后和队友一起按照事先开好的清单将公用药品购买齐全。这么长时间在野外徒步,特别是高海拔的无人区,药品的准备必须考虑齐全。除了常用药以外,还准备了救心丸,地塞米松,利尿片等特殊用药,以应付高反引起的急性肺水肿,脑水肿。一旦有人出现这些症状,药品就是救命的根本。你一直好奇妈妈急救包里有些什么,现在告诉你那里面装着足够动一个小型手术的所有必备物品:手术刀,剪刀,橡胶手套,止血带,针,线,绷带,纱布以及系列外用药,药品就不用说了,还有一块救生毯。这个小小的急救包能保证在野外遇到突发意外受伤或者疾病时,生命受到一定保障 领队看着无精打采的大伙,决定找个地方拉练下,别荒废了憋足的劲。于是GPS采集了一个数据点,根据导航向郊外走去。歪打正着的就到了一个叫库鲁伦格的峡谷里,据偶遇的当地驴友说,这还是天山的一个小小支脉。峡谷初现荒凉的西部景色,只有石块和黄土,连头顶的天都是灰色的。顺着山谷往里走,没有变化的单一,脚下一会是松软的沙石,一会是大石块。我不禁感慨,要是到无人区也是这么个样子,那走起来多没劲,直到下午六点走多出峡谷,热水澡成为每个人向往无比的奖励。 对了,还没给你介绍馕。妈妈给它起了个昵称:新疆面包。说实话,十年不吃我也不会想念它的味道,但作为食品补给,在无人区后半段时间它和玉米糊糊充当了主角。在家里,你吃饭总是挑肥拣瘦,在极限环境下可容不得你做出选择,吃饱是第一。 2012年4月5日:我的孩子:很多时候大人和孩子一样是好玩的,虽然我们嘴上都不承认。当然宝贵的假期耽搁在城市里也着实可惜,百度到库尔勒郊区有个美丽的博斯腾湖,于是大伙的心蠢蠢欲动,和领队死皮赖脸的请假获得一次短途春游机会。线路:莲花湖-----博斯腾湖-----铁门关 莲花湖:博斯腾湖西部一系列相互串通的小湖沼之一,因盛产莲花而得名,是孔雀河的水头,距库尔勒市25公里。湖周芦苇茂密而挺拔,湖水靛青黛蓝,湖心水域开阔,水深1.5--1.7米,明澈见底。夏秋之季,野鸭、大雁、鹭鸶成对成群,翠苇盈荡,水巷曲折,鱼跃鸟翔,荷花绽放。不过我们到的太早,没有一个游客,只有几个维修游艇的工人在劳作着。芦苇未青,白杨未绿,只花几分钟稍作逗留便离开。 清冷的莲花湖 奔向你,奔向自由的飞翔 博斯腾湖,又名巴喀刺赤海,蒙语称博斯腾尔,维吾尔语称巴格拉什库勒,古称西海。是新疆最大的淡水湖泊,位于焉耆盆地的一个山间陷落湖,又称巴喀赤湖。汇入湖泊的河流主要来自西北的开都河、乌拉斯台河、黄水沟、清水河等等。你会很好奇,这里的湖和咱家那的太湖有啥区别?妈妈要和你说,博湖更平静,宽广和安宁。第一次看见这许多水鸟栖息于湖面,在水天一色间自在的飞起飞落,吟唱着它们的歌谣。湖水无声而温柔的拍打沙滩,要是你在,我会坐在你身边安静的看你尽情的用沙子堆砌你心目中的城堡。你也会惊讶于湖边广阔的芦苇和放牧的群马,那与江南湿地的秀丽,小巧是多么不同。一直以来,妈妈总希望你能多接触大自然,不要一直圈在电视,游戏之间,要将目光投向钢筋水泥以外的世界。我的孩子,伸开你的双手,和妈妈一样去拥抱大自然的那份开阔吧! 博斯腾湖那些自由自在的鸟儿们,看着它们,你会觉得自己的心在飞翔 什么是比翼双飞? 我的孩子,太多东西对于你都是新奇的,比如这些放牧的马。回复 梦驴 的帖子矮油,照片呢就是共享的撒,平衡一下你心里,偶注明版权归属好伐 湖水湛蓝,没有堤坝的拦截,你完全可以走近它,感受它的宁静 前往博斯腾湖的路上,我第一次真正感受到大西北的荒芜。绿色似乎被隐藏起来,只有单调的黄褐色一直延伸。戈壁和沙丘覆盖视野所及范围内。气温虽然不低,但春色止步不前。没有树木,连草都没有,只有荆棘一簇簇不屈的生长着。此时我没有意识到,这景致将一路陪伴,直至进入无人区,下一次看见绿色已经在拉萨近郊。 最后一站铁门关:位于库尔勒市北八公里怪石峥嵘的库鲁克塔格山中。两千多年前的丝绸之路,就从这里沿孔雀河进入一条30公里长的峡谷。峡谷曲折幽深,岸壁如刀劈斧凿。据考,从晋代起,这里就设立了关口,因其地处险要,故名铁门关。它是焉耆盆地进入塔里木盆地的一道天险,自古为兵家必争之地。如今的铁关峡谷,峡谷中依山傍水之处,林木葱郁、百花斗艳,亭台楼阁错落有致、点缀其中。这是景点,大门拦起,需要买门票。时间缘故,就在门外看了看。河两边垂柳依依,绿意葱葱,一瞬间有回到江南的错觉。回复 木名字 的帖子呵呵,时间跨度比较大,的确快不了。谢谢你回复 燕小培 的帖子五男五女,嘻嘻,后面会有大合影的回复 幽谷百合-十 的帖子呵呵,个人口味吧?面食我喜爱,不过对馕真的爱不起来。但是有种窝窝馕口味好些(

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([]
