云南德钦的梅里雪山和雨崩相信许多喜爱旅游的朋友都耳熟能详。而我,算上这次的雨崩6天之行因该是今年第3次带驴友来到梅里雪山,过去的2010年214国道迎来的是一场人工的灾难,从去年4月后开始破土动工修建二级公路,但至今未果,直到这次我们雨崩之行结束返回香格里拉道路状况还是一片狼藉……在痛苦的颠簸后,最让人期盼的就是让这条令人神往滇藏路能够早日迎来崭新的面目。在全封闭施工的这些日子里,还是有许多不畏艰险游人或组织者绞尽脑汁设法来到这里,梅里雪山的神秘诱惑确实是让人无法抵挡,绕路、换车、打时间差、寻觅小路、连夜狂赶……一系列能够想到的办法都在“只要能到梅里”的欲望驱使下产生。到现在如果你要问“梅里雪山、雨崩能去吗?”回答一定是:“可以去!”“幸苦吗?”“确实很幸苦”……现在总算好了,路是通了,只是还有些难走,反正滇藏线总是在缝缝补补又一年中度过的……先不说这些了,既然能去,就算是我这样到过这里许多次的人也同样向往,并且依旧如此激动!带队这次的雨崩之行也是非常另人满意的,原因是特殊的天气让我们全团人都感受了不一样的雨崩!清晨的日照金山分外令人震惊!雨崩神瀑浮云中夹杂的大雪更是为我们此次朝圣之旅增添了洁白和纯净。梅里雪山是藏民心中的神山,当看到他时敬畏油然而生,卡瓦格博早在800年前就被藏民奉为神山,而且是藏区八大神山中唯一的男性神山,每年秋冬季节,尤其是这个时候,许多来自西藏、四川、青海等滴的藏民到此朝山转经,其中雨崩神瀑是比去之地,因为转经的人们都相信,能够被“雨崩神瀑淋湿,就能求得福气!接下来再慢慢介绍,全篇大概会有400多幅全都是梅里雪山和雨崩的图片,相信你一定能够看个大致的过瘾。其中整个行程中的香格里拉、虎跳峡等其他部分的介绍我都省略了,因为那些不是本帖的重点,而且现在整个丽江的自助游线路都是大同小异!照片也是漫天飞舞,参差不齐。我就不做太多的描述了,慢慢看,看我们一趟雨崩之行到底能够感受到些什么,值不值得!就请跟我的镜头扫过,一有时间我会慢慢更新的,不过按照惯例我还是将和往常发新贴一样先做个记录:行程时间:6日 里程:丽江-香格里拉180公里 香格里拉-飞来寺 200公里足有 飞来寺-西当温泉50公里左右 西当温泉-南宗垭口 12公里(徒步)南宗垭口-上雨崩7公里(徒步) 雨崩-冰湖 12公里(徒步)雨崩-神瀑7公里 (徒步)人数:10人 用车:福特 方式:丽江云行户外俱乐部 活动 徒步里程:80公里左右(3天完成) 气温跨度:-3°——15° 相机:50D 18-270具体攻略可见 www.aaa5.com 提示:备一个小背包,在徙步时,小包内只要装上一套换洗内衣、裤,可以背相机、饮料、食物即可。进雨崩切记不用带太多的东西,轻松上阵。厚一点的袜子二到三双,最好是户外袜,通气性强,穿久了也不会有异味。雨崩里面的条件是非常有限的,但手机和相机充电是完全没有问的,信号是时有时无,进山之前最好是先和家里打好电话以免担心,驴友有必要准备一些常备药。其他的就无所谓了,外话:在梅里雪山、雨崩等藏区很神圣的地方最好是不要乱说话,跨经幡,要尊重当地风俗习惯,我见过很多这类不注意的人和事情,乱说话可能会给自己带来不好的运气……云南最美的村寨-雨崩还是由于修路的原因我们不得不第一天就直接从丽江到飞来寺住下,当天晚上没有风,从来没有见过这么多星星的夜晚,美极了,一道道的银河好像就在头顶不远处,梅里雪山只在我们对面留下了一道轮廓,由于光线太暗,根本没办法对焦,花了半个多小时就曝了下图这么仅有的一张12点钟的梅里雪山。第二天清晨,在住所窗口架上三脚架拍的梅里雪山全景,只是广角不够28的广角确实很尴尬。这个是日照金山开始的前兆,天气真是太好了,不过这段时间能够看到日照金山的几率是非常高的!我边拍边叫醒同行的团友,这样的风景是绝对不允许错过的。梅里雪山是藏民心中的神山,十三峰一字排开,让人领会到自然的伟大,敬畏油然而生。日照金山的那一刻,白马山头观景处一片寂静,放佛所有的人都深怕打扰了神山焕发光彩。神女峰是我看到过这么多雪山中最秀美的一座山峰,每次到梅里总是先把镜头对准她,与卡瓦格博截然不同的是她的气质一眼就能看出似女人的高贵,旁边的五冠峰依偎在右侧传说是卡瓦格博与神女峰的儿子。卡瓦格博6740米,云南第一高峰,威仪俊朗锐利如剑锋直指天空,尊严从不轻易让人朝觐。雨崩神瀑其实就是从五冠峰高耸的悬崖顶坠下,因水源为神山的雪水,所以特别神圣.日出那一刻,满目皆是金山。快马下到飞来寺新修的观景台,这里确实是最佳的观景位置,只是收费有点昂贵,60元的费用真是让人望而生畏……好在我来过多次混了个脸熟,领队证也没有出示,直接进去狂怕。日照金山是很短暂的,夏天出来的时间会早一些大概7点15左右,而冬天金山是8点后才慢慢出来,但冬天和春天的天空会更加清澈。看到过很多拍金山的照片颜色过于鲜艳,看起来还真如金子般绚丽,其实真正当时的颜色是很不好把握的,相机不同拍出来的效果和颜色是完全不一样的,这个把握相信谁都做不好,当时看到的场景颜色和照片差别太大。远瞰这片村寨好像就在卡瓦格博主峰脚下,其实这里离主峰还有很远,真正主峰脚下的村寨是明永村。不能只顾关注雪山了,其实佛塔和雪山的配合才显得分出彩。在佛塔前拍梅里雪山会更具有浓厚的宗教色彩。回复 mxhsz889 的帖子呵呵,谢谢,正在发,会陆续更新的!瓦格博在眼前显得特别高大,每个季节来看到他都不一样,非常神奇!因为当天就要进雨崩村,天已经很亮,大概已经9点多了,我还在继续不断的拍会很晚才能进到雨崩村里,飞来寺下去到西当温泉还有50公里的山路要开车进去,到西当温泉后就只能徒步进山了。 集结了所有团友准备出发!回复 歪歪_79 的帖子嗯,一定加油!不过平时工作忙,我一有空就会来发帖的!谢谢版主支持!!从飞来寺下去会有两条线路,一条是西当也就是去雨崩的必经之地,另外一条就是去明永冰川,明永冰川大概需要徒步2个多小时,冰川像一条凝固的河流从卡瓦格博主峰的山谷汹涌而下,冰面下就是雪水流水声震耳欲聋,明永冰川也是不非常不错的景点,只是我们这次的重点在雨崩,所以就不对这里做太多的图片介绍了。雪山周边的密林深处,经常会看到朝圣的藏民,他们世世代代与神山交往,虔诚地视神山如祖辈,所以卡瓦格博也叫做阿尼(爷爷的意思)卡瓦格博。到梅里雪山就怕广角不够用,28的广角总是差了一大截,没办法,换个方法把整个雪山群拿下.先谢谢以上给位朋友帮顶!!!!{5_135}在不同的平面看雪山会有截然不同的效果,这个地方是在前往西当村的路上的澜沧江大峡谷边拍到的。之后我还会贴上一些不同的角度给大家参考,因为很少有人去拍这样的角度,所以建议大家留意一下,不然大家的照片都一样也就没意思了。回复 摩托摩托 的帖子嗯,雨崩的就在后面,稍等。卡瓦格博和明永冰川。从飞来寺开车往下大概15分钟左右会到达一个挂满经幡的神台,这里看到的神女峰和在飞来寺观景台上完全就是两个模样。听过很多人说梅里十三峰他们怎么数都没有十三座?其实你换到这个角度就会明白为什么数不出有十三座了,因为有些山头是需要到特定的角度才能看到的。澜沧江梅里大峡谷,过了这个峡谷才能到达西当村,这里也只有唯一一座能够过峡谷的大桥,桥前面就是雨崩景区的门票口,所以到雨崩想逃票有点不大可能……呵呵。这个角度的卡瓦格博我相信很多人都没有看到过,这个是我们从西当温泉出发后爬到山的另一个侧面拍到的,而这个位置可以同时看到白马雪山群和梅里雪山群,但由于密林遮挡这里其实根本不是理想的拍摄位置,而且到这里很容易迷路,坡也非常难爬,还有比较危险,所以不推荐到这里来,我自己去年走过这边,但是今年还差点迷了路,好不容易在天黑之前找到了大路,不然真的头大了……如果你对自己有信心,体力超强的话可以考虑从南宗垭口再往南上坡20公里的样子估计能找到这里,不过,呵呵还是不推荐去,因为如果没有向导,在这里迷路到时候哭都没用了…… 从迷途中出来找到了一条大路,这条大路虽然可以到南宗垭口但还是走个没完没了的,但路上的景色确实让我感受不一般!([]

十一假期选择越南是因为越南离生活所在地近,国庆期间估计不会像国内那样人山人海(尤其近期越南f*an*hu*a事件影响去的人更少),费用低,今年独自出行过于密集费用支撑不起奢侈行~哎,现实啊。10月1日上午出发,10月13日上午到家,历时12天,完成越南出行计划。这次行程超出我的预期略多,我很享受这次旅程,即使大部分都是孤单寂寞冷的苦逼时刻,即使手机遗失,即使语言不通,即使几乎不能遇到中国人,然而,越南这个国家带给我的感受远超我对它的期待,这一次的越南,是一场精彩纷呈的旅程。这是我第一次出国,也是我第一次独自出国,嗯,这两句话有区别么?自己一个人默默计划、一个人默默出行,偶尔搭上伙伴,避开众多人群,拒绝大众化,会找攻略上没有或者是资料极其匮乏的地方探索,嗯,这就是我要的,这是我的行程。旅程关键词句:孤独、文化、追寻、世界、迷失、享受、餐饮、情调,南中国海,安静海边城市头顿的艳遇,黑夜无人森林骑行20公里到屁股肿、饥寒交迫之际巧遇仅有的德国大使馆人的BBQ邀请、原始森林里和越南人民现抓现吃原始森林里的野蛇,中国边检温暖大哥请早餐请车,无手机无电子设备无时间的异乡生活,偶遇河内解放60周年庆还剑湖畔的烟火,西贡圣母教堂圣洁醉人的唱诗歌声,友好的各国人民,英法中三语混合混乱的交流...2014.12.30补充:文章很长很长很长,请给耐心,请给耐心,谢谢。文字和逻辑还会再整理,以后有时间再修改。

planet&蚂蜂窝获得,8264相关详细信息实在略少(这也是我想在这发越南行程详细帖子的原因)。蚂蜂窝都是小资晒攻略,原本我可是想穷游,加点户外自虐活动的;lonely planet确实比较背包客,只选择我认为有意思的,最期待的是它介绍的菊芳国家公园里的徒步。交通:国内可以从南宁出发,南宁-越南可以选择大巴/火车,在凭祥过关;火车一天一列,汽车一天几班。越南境内主要交通方式:飞机、火车、汽车;速度:飞机>汽车>火车1)飞机在大城市间航班数量不少,都是越南国内的航空公司,有越南航空,越捷航空,捷星航空,喷射航空;可在国内网站“去哪儿网”购买,也可在航空公司官网购买(VISA卡可支付),或找当地旅行社代买。票价不会太高,航空公司常有优惠,部分机票在去哪儿网买不到,那就需要到官网购买或找当地旅行社/你住的旅馆代买,他们会收一定的手续费,或多或少看你运气了。2)汽车open bus我也不知道是啥意思,我只知道对我们这些“外国人”来说,Sinh Cafe(现在改名为sinh tourist)是最有名的,车票可在官网购买,车次多覆盖广购票便捷(百度就能找到官网,英文的);除了Sinh Cafe,还有FUTA,这家bus公司经营范围主要在越南南部,给我的感觉是:四通八达,车子干净,车次丰富,服务质完善。据说价格和sinh tourist差不多,不同的是futa还没有英文网站,越南语官网可预定车票和接送点,他们的接送服务是免费的,接送小车车是奔驰品牌的(一开始看到奔驰志的时候我还以为是哪个傻逼贴上去的,结果居然是货真价实的大奔,我蹲墙角去)...货币:在越南通用货币应该是越南盾和美元,我准备了520美元带过去用于支付房费和防身,在凭祥车站跟私人兑换了200人民币的越南盾,大约是1比3400的汇率(我没数钱,也不知道那人钱给够没,越南盾大数额我会脑乱的,当然也可能是我没认真做货币汇率的攻略的缘故),其余的全是在ATM机器上取现,显示是人民币,取出来就是越南盾,汇率银行自动计算,单笔取现费用貌似是14元,双向收费,我愿意让银行赚我手续费,因为它是机器不会太坑我或者说要坑的话也不只坑我一个人,嗯哼。证:我在淘宝上找旅行社办理,350元,当天办理隔天拿到,速度快,出率高。语言:越南语,英语,大的地方景点服务人员和酒店会点英文,还有不少同志会讲法语,所以准备好英语就够用了,我全程英语,偶尔用法语,急的时候飚中文(当然基本上只有我自己听得懂),也有过画图或者show手机图片的时候~餐饮:清新无油的菜式为主,该国乙肝病毒肆虐,据说乙肝在该国超过50%是病毒携带者,建议出发前一两周在国内医院验自己的乙肝抗体,如果没有乙肝抗体,就在医院注射乙肝疫苗再去,如果已经有很强的乙肝抗体,那你再放心出行吧!以免出国一趟把乙肝病毒给带回来,那就亏大了呀。环境:很多人跟我描述越南的落后,河内多烂,去过之后我倒觉得这些观点有点以偏概全了。每个城市都有繁华整洁的地方也有破破烂烂的地方,即使是上海这样的大城市,在地铁站宝山站(好像是)附近,一样有几十年前破旧无比的烂房子,南宁火车站周边也是残破混乱的样子。河内法国区还是蛮干净整洁漂亮的,繁华高档的样子是出来了的,街边的高大梧桐树形成林荫大道,36街区本来就是老街,破破烂烂的肯定的,我就不说了。但貌似人们就爱看人家的破破烂烂,总觉得那才是人家的本色(抠鼻)然后到处说这就是哪个哪个城市,哎;西贡中央邮局圣母院附近的环境都还不错,正对圣母院门口的那条路走过去,小资小资的,还有城市别墅,范五老街就有点小乱小杂但也还好;稍微小一些的城市,大叻、头顿给我感觉是舒适,干净,整洁,没有疯狂的摩托车,安静美好,岘港就有一丝工业城市的感觉,海边沙滩漂亮、自然。所以,我说咱就不要老去人家破破烂烂的地方然后回来说人家破烂,也看看人家进步的一面--真实存在的一面,当然也别就觉得人家就是天堂了,比起我大中国,肯定是没那么高大上了,不过我们大中国的土地是国有的,美好基本上也是通过拆迁得来了,越南土地属于个人,自家房子自家那块地,政府可是不能说动就动的呢。住宿:预定部分全通过booking,据说booking定比agenda便宜,我是看中booking不会在预定当天扣款,booking需要银行卡担保,在规定期限内可以修改或者取消订单,除了热门酒店例如安娜曼德拉外,普通酒店可在入住前三天修改或取消,agenda是立马扣款。花费:穷奢结合,12天大约4000元-6000元人民币(若为两人同行,那么按照我这路线人均约4000元人民币),费用大头集中在房费&机票&无奈的出租车费。 城市间交通&住宿费: 瞎扯几句,做攻略前的某晚,我一直在思考去越南旅行的意义,不断自我否定,最后差点就要放弃行程了!仅仅是为了出国,然后到越南各个著名地点走一遍表示本人已到此一游?岂不是跟在中国各个著名收费景点走一圈一个样,本来在国内就鄙视这种玩法,还到国外去玩这种,必须的纯属有病,那不去著名景点第一次出国的你要去哪里你能去哪里你懂去哪里?无聊地走在越南古老甚至破败的街道,感受所谓的本地的原始的气息?以前在在国内很多城市出差都已经做过这样的事情了,可是做过之后你能怎样别人又能怎样,街道还是那条街道,也许和国内的街道没有任何区别,甚至许多国人跟你一样都在这么做,回过后发图发感慨,真有那么多感慨?我估计我是没法再有的。到越南体验在国内做不到的土豪般的享受,海滩度假?即使在越南用自己愿意花得起的钱也能土豪到哪儿去呢,真土豪应该是要去迪拜之类的地方吧。如果花着确实并不算高的价钱去住越南的高级酒店海景房,在国内已经有过不少不错的五星级海景酒店体验了,按照国内的经济水平来看是绝对比越南的要优质的,所以感觉也没有必要。或者说只是单纯地在这个国家走过一圈,不停地走,走完了能走出什么呢?我说我大中国地大物博在哪儿走不是走,非要到外面走。或者说拍漂亮的照片,就我这破水平,能拍出多好的照片,若是拍自己岂不是换个背景拍照而已空洞乏味。在越南追寻美食吃上当地小吃?很多人都会这么说,可是真的很好吃么,可能不见得哦,寻找优质餐厅吃上色香味俱全的美食,也许就是你在国内吃的洋餐差不多吧,说实话在国内也吃过越南食物,也有好朋友是做越南餐厅的,食材简单各种拼凑,其实人们吃的只是新鲜感并非味道,对于金牛座美食主义者来说,可能还是比较不能满足的。寻找越南遗留的法式风情,追寻法国文化的遗迹?以前常常有这样的想法,即便我是学法语的,我对法国能懂得多少?这个小国家又能有多法式?应该先去法国再来这儿找才好吧!在越南寻找商机?以前在脑子里也YY过很多次,越南就是90年代的中国投资都能赚钱,也是传说,而且就这短短的几天自己瞎摸索过去还商机个毛线,坐车走路的时间都不够用。在越南,我可以做什么,我想做什么,我希望得到的效果是什么?成了亟待解决的问,不解决就没法继续了。最后我能想到突破口的是:文化。LA CULTURE, C'EST L'AME DU VOYAGE. 唯有文化,是唯一与众不同的东西,一千个人的眼中有一千个哈姆雷特,我能够解读的东西才是能够独特的属于自己的东西,所谓旅行若是没有目的没有意义没有解读,跟在家里有何分别?此刻恶补文化,才是至关重要的事情啊。纠结完毕,才能继续做攻略,说实话大部分攻略千篇一律这好那好,这美那美,或者这不那么好那不那么好,难啊。我还是没有办法走出自己的一条路线,那我应该如何选择呢?最后我把想要在越南做的事梳理,把每个城市想要完成的事情逐一记下,这才有安心感,先完成任务,其它的交给缘分吧!!详细计划&可能产生的费用:英文比较烂,凑合一下能看懂吧?话说为啥我的行程啥的都是英文为主呢?明明英文那么烂。答案是:5月,8月在越南都发生了较为严重的fa*nh*ua事件,因此我打算不在非必要时刻,尽量不要明显地显示出自己的华人身份,以免给自己带来不必要的麻烦,所以尽量避免满口普通话和随处可见的中文字体,要是因此客死他乡就太不划算了。有人鄙视我,说好好的中国人不做,非要去不欢迎你的国家还要伪装不是华人,丢人!这个问我思考了很久,可是我不觉得自己有哪里不对,但是我又没有办法说出来反驳,很难过,我想可能是大家的角度不同吧,我想我所偶选择的不是一个不欢迎我的国度,但是我愿意去看看他们的状况如何,事实证明他们是欢迎的,他们不欢迎的是部分华人,但是我很可能被他们误认是他们不欢迎的那种华人,而我想要在那个国家做的事情不是去让他们讨厌,而是去完成我的心愿我的目的,在此过程中为了避免误伤,因此适当不表露身份或者是伪装身份以保个人安全。 证办理:可自行办理,也可旅行社代办越南证需要准备:护照1本/两寸照片2张/证费用越南在南宁有驻华使馆,证费据说现在是D35,折合人民币应该RMB220不到。我是找旅行社代办(原因:懒,大使馆来回打车费和材料准备费用估计和旅行社代理价格差别不大。)旅行社:南宁鑫辉旅行地址:南宁市东葛路凯丰大厦B1601(公交车在东葛鲤湾路站or一附站院过去都不远)淘宝链接:https//detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=22424504698&spm=a1z09.2.9.131.UrY8cL&_u=e94gf67e738证费+服务费套餐:RMB3492寸照片翻拍打印费:RMB10(我没照片又懒得拍,10块钱工作人员翻拍护照上的照片解决)这链接是去过的朋友给推荐的,9月10日上午我拍下套餐,再按提供的便格式将相关信息用Word填清楚,通过阿里旺旺发给客服,下午把护照送到接收点凯丰大厦B1601,9月12日上午便收到短信说证已出。速度超乎意料,靠谱,推荐。我的人生中的第一个证下来了,Vietnam,就是不知道为啥证不在第一页,而是放到中间页。我提供的处境日期是9月30日,返回10月12日,结果旅行社操作变成了validfrom 30/09/2014 until 30/10/2014,不过我想这并不是坏事。提醒:务必提前想好入境日期和出境日期,在便上仔细填写,如果需要修改,一定通过旺旺,建议确认两遍。后期打电话更改虽然显得速度很快,但是没有聊天记录依据,工作人员在办理众多证过程中很容易遗忘,那么悲剧的还是你。(我在送护照的时候遇到一个外地的妹子就是电话更改的,结果工作人员是按照旺旺聊天记录提及的时间办理的,结果…不过出了这事工作人员倒是积极联系相关人员寻求更改的可能性,不过结果如何我就不得而知了) 国际往返陆路交通(我在车站直接要的最新版本):如何购买BUS票?只说琅东站的:带上你的护照,到琅东客运站任何窗口都能购买,而且可以提前购买,至于提前几天我没问。票价168元,保险10元,合计178元,时长6-8小时。除了直通车,其它都是在凭祥过海关之后换当地巴士,巴士乘务员会说点中文的。如何购买火车票?带上你的护照,到南宁火车站退票窗口购买(要不然就是国际售票窗口,我记不清了),可以提前购买,提前几天我不清楚,因为9月28日去买9月30日的票已经卖完了,票价貌似是220,河内到南宁貌似是要贵一点,时长大概是10小时左右。火车是咱中国的列车,乘务员都是中国人,听说边境检验的工作人员也跟在列车上的哦~到凭祥的时候他们也下车然后进行边检。 货币兑换:中国银行兑换美元,到越南兑换越南盾(银行、货币兑换点、酒店、珠宝店兑换)保险购买:https//www.mafengwo.cn/insure/chujing-1369981039396.html出租车:MaiLinh Taxi 38383838Vinasun Taxi 38272727据说这两家一定是正规的,选择他们就等于选择了一份安全保障哦 还有什么信息补充么?想不起来了,先上主要内容吧。河内 Ha noi--政治中心,城市景观我乘坐早上10点南宁琅东汽车站出发的国际巴士,下午6-7点到达河内(河内时间,比北京时间早1个小时),车子停在红河酒店门口,下车有许多人在那拉客。琅东汽车站有国际候车室,环境不错,国庆第一天琅东站里人山人海站都不够站的,国际候车室的优势就体现出来了,有座位还是软座还有动画片看。到达河内有个约好的,之前见过一面的学生妹妹来接我。见面后相互确认然后离开下车的区域,向前走了一段路才蓝了出租车先去酒店,酒店位于教堂附近。话说这个妹子是个广西民族学院的学生,申请到河内某知名大学学习,也是刚到河内不久,越南话还说不顺溜,我们彼此不熟,是朋友的朋友的朋友,知道我要来河内就给我们介绍了,然后妹子热情地来接我准备趁着她的周末带我逛逛河内。见面不多客套,直奔主:酒店。哈哈。在酒店办理入住后放好行李便出门寻找食物,路过教堂时月正悬挂在教堂之上,让我想起了吸血鬼日记,氛围诡异,听说这个教堂平时阴森,出过很多灵异的故事。 著名的还剑湖距离教堂和酒店仅数百米。还剑湖确实十分迷你,或许和国内一所大学里的小湖差不多大甚至没那么大,而比起南宁的南湖公园,十分之一不到吧。红色小桥位于湖上,桥的另一面是一个小小的景点,收费,没进去,目测是道观寺庙祭司一类地。 街道,冒着被突如其来的小车车撞死的危险站在路中央拍的,还好车不多。路旁是生长了多年的法国梧桐,形成林荫大道。 教堂附近某个地方,这大哥的手势真逗~我总觉得哪里不对劲,看着看着我就乐了... 越南春卷,spring rolls,店家这英文翻译得实在是简单明了啊。越南春卷大致分为炸春卷和春卷两种,普通春卷里面会有虾仁或者牛肉,加点黄瓜之类的生蔬卷起来吃,旁边给你配上一碗鱼露沾着吃,通常大家还会再点一杯冰茶或者柠檬冰茶搭配一下,我这点的是柠檬汁lemon juice 25千越南盾。图一这家店就在教堂侧面的一条小街道上,这里聚集着许多外国人,各种旅馆、餐馆、咖啡吧、酒吧、旅行社,热闹非凡。我没记下店名,味道还可以,价格偏高,西方人吃的多。还有一家是越南本地人很爱的一家店,小摊铺在路边,正面对着教堂门口,右手边九十度那条街走进去,大约50米,左边,你会看见有很多人的一家店,那里的春卷是炸的,炸春卷,价格实惠味道很好,估计只有第一家店铺的一半不到价格,冰茶大约3元人民币(越南盾10千盾),春卷1份25千盾,一个人一炸春卷一冰茶就够了,一般他们都送一盘杂蔬,有生菜、薄荷叶,还有不知道名字的,胃大的嘴巴馋的除外~可以随便点,花不了多少钱,老板会说一点点英文的,她懂的。不过,听说这些蔬菜-----是重复利用的,明白不?可能每一家都这样吧。 河内的法国区环境还不错,建议各位除了迷失在36街,也到法国区迷失一下,会有不同感受的。在一家看起来很像卖古董表老店看到两个手表很可爱,那朵花的是120美元一个,看牌子是欧米茄的,老板说可以便宜点100美元,我估摸着欧米茄不能这么便宜吧就没下手,虽然样子我蛮喜欢的。后来听朋友说越南仿古手表很出名,我就庆幸自己没有冲动。 河内历史博物馆,里面有许多珍贵的占婆遗址带回来的藏品,值得一去,票价好像是40千盾,十几块人民币。 镇馆之宝:木雕,数百数千年不坏 占婆国,赤裸裸的XX器崇拜的国家,不解释。知识普及:公元初的几百年,在越南中部某个区域生活着一个名为占婆的民族,正是他们创造了显赫一时的占婆文化。千年之后,这种文化依然能够通过尚存的占婆庙塔建筑艺术呈现于世人面前。据以往一些专家研究并公布的资料表明,占婆庙塔的建造始于7世纪末并延续到17世纪初。占婆人在9世纪时创造了大量的庙塔建筑、城堡建筑和雕刻作品,观留存至今的庙塔建筑遗迹群有20余处,是越南传统文化的重要组成部分。由于占婆庙塔建筑在各方面的杰出成就和特殊意义,位于越南广南省维川县维富乡的美山(My son)地区的占婆庙塔建筑遗迹已被列入《世界遗产名录》。1868年,法国人发现了柬埔寨建筑群,随后在1898年他们又发现了越南占婆民族的美山遗迹区。美山的占婆庙塔精美绝伦,建筑中还包含有极具艺术价值的石雕作品。占婆(champa),东南亚的古国之一,与扶南(funan,今柬埔寨)一样是最早有史可考的国家。领土的范围大概在越南的中南部,也就是汉朝所建的日南郡的大部。 其居民主体是源自印度族的占族人(至今尚未完全被越人同化,是越南和柬埔寨的一个少数民族),所以受印度文化的影响极深,一度信仰婆罗门教。考古资料显示,湿婆神(婆罗门教的主神之一)在那里受到了广泛的崇拜。占婆国公元一世纪末从东汉政权治下独立后,北与中国各王朝,南与柬埔寨各王国长期交战,没有落什么大下风。但是安南人兴起之后,占婆人却在和他们胶着几百年后逐渐被蚕食,出了几个想振作的国君,也只是输得更惨。最终在安南后黎朝黎圣宗亲征下彻底瓦解,沦为安南的属国,并最终悄无声息的被越南人同化。这个古国的存在时间,几乎有一千五百年,其情形和拜占庭帝国颇为类似。冯承钧先生说,一部越南史,实一部越占交争史。随后我还要到岘港去一趟占婆文化遗址--美山 越南著名的"客先死",嘿嘿,我看了看,没敢坐,怕一个不小心自己先给挂了~~~“客先死”现在不是特别多,我在河内兜过好几圈,这是我见到的“客先死”最集中的地方,大部分乘客是金发碧眼的西方人。 位于法国区的河内剧院,OPERA,里面好像还有不错的酒吧(餐厅),旁边是一家占地面积较广的咖啡屋,露天的,很多西方人坐在这里喝咖啡晒太阳。在这一带,可以看到Longchamp,Prada,lv等品牌专卖店。 还剑湖边街景,冰茶随处可见,人们就在马路边席地而坐喝起冰茶,随心随意。卖花,果然有点儿传统 说说河内这家酒店吧。酒店感觉十分出色,booking上我预定的是splendid star,到酒店后,打开手机booking软件,将预定信息和护照交给前台,他们确认过后不是先说房间入住,而是用用不算特别准的英文亲切地询问我们要喝冰茶还是咖啡,跟我们聊天,然后才开始说他们已经给我们预留了房间,不需要担心,由于那间房有点味道,所以打算给我调整到另外一个店,splendid ora,今天新开张的分店,房间是比我原来定的小一点,但依然很漂亮,问我愿意不愿意。房间小点是没关系的,不计较那么多就同意了。随后工作人员继续跟我们聊我们的行程,并且赠送地图,给出许多实用建议。随后我们去看房间,splendid ora距离splendid star不远,转了个弯就到了,新开张的祝贺花篮还在呢!前台同样善,同样跟我了解我有没有出行计划然后给建议,热情而且亲切。酒店前台,房间确实不错,我只拍了照片在手机里,所以现在没有图片了。(我手机丢了哇!)房间两张大床,床品ok,洗澡室空间宽裕,房间里还配备了一台崭新的华硕笔记本电脑供顾客使用,白色钢琴烤漆的款式,越南版本的看不出型号,说实话,在异地看到曾经是自己家的产品,觉得很温馨。房间价格合计人民币180左右,booking上显示这个价格他们是给了一定优惠的,看看房间看看价格超值! 在法国区,随便找了家看着还不错的餐厅吃午餐,点了套冰淇淋,主食,汤,结算150元人民币左右。这个环境这个地段是可以接受的,味道不觉得出众。据说是起源于米国的一家餐厅,这我就不好追本溯源了,然后我也忘记自己点的叫什么名字了,全是越南文和英文,这是我第一次出国第一次看纯外文菜单,不知道那些单词和哪些食材哪些烹饪方法挂钩,看着大概能看懂的,偶尔拿手机出来谷歌翻译一下,就那样搞定了,小慌慌张张的也不好意思一个个问服务员,就算问服务员估计也要问半天,词汇量不足他说了我也不能懂啊~这牙两头一样 2号下午五点多我从河内到胡志明市,机票349元人民币含税,去哪儿网上购买的,河内市中心到机场距离比较远,酒店前台可以帮忙叫车,价格是15美元/车,可坐四人,略不便宜。出门时偶然发现隔壁一家专门租车的小店发现去机场的车是11美元/车,四座,通过聊天判断这个店是正规的,跟老板定下来了,交钱后他会认真地给我开一张明细单,3点出发。(后来我从岘港飞河内,从机场打车到附近,合计人民币120左右,这么一算,我那11美元也就是70人民币左右,便宜了很多。)因为只有我一个人去机场安全问还是要操心一下,为了让自己在遇害情况下能得到最快速度的解救或者说能在遇到啥事情后还能给家人留个线索留个念想,我在上车前把汽车车牌、联系车的店面信息、联系方式发给朋友,并告诉朋友如果半个小时发现我和他们完全没有联系就替我报警。事实证明,这家公司真的靠谱,一路上一辆小汽车一个本地男司机和一个外国女乘客在40分钟的路程中,没有发生任何意外状况,顺利到达机场,心安啊,要知道,国内最近妹子坐黑车失联事件频发,找到的结果没一个是好的,像我这样只身在外难免不担忧。本帖末尾我贴了租车公司名片,供参考哈。 我走到相应换登机牌处排队,到我的时候我跟妹子说英文,好像大家都说的不是很好,不过后来还是顺利拿到了登机牌,不知道是不是因为廉价航空,所以登机牌就是两片小纸条,亮瞎我双眼了...真的要这么...随意么?为了避免丢三落四,我的行李简单分成2部分,1个小拉杆箱,1个轻便的防水手提包,以前大包小包的老是搞丢东西或者找不到,这次就好很多了,单反不用时放在防水手提包里,低调。 他们都说,路上我会捡到小伙伴同行的,但是我想说,知道现在,过去将近36小时了,我还没找到小伙伴,所以我估计是因为我人丑嘴不甜,没人搭理我我也不主动寻找搭理人家~终于等到登机时间了,我一看航班号,最后一个数字不对,目的地和其它数字都对,我开始怀疑是不是办登机牌的美女给我搞错了,或者是说我因为在中国代购的所以航班号不一样,心理暗骂:靠!坑爹啊!我拿着机票去问登机口的美女,由于双方英文都不利索,所以她只是说这不是你这航班登机,你要等。妈蛋,这明明就是我登机牌上写的登机时间和登机口啊和目的地啊,我了个去啊,要是搞错了我去不了胡志明市就囧了。我再次重复我的疑惑,她还是说了同样的话,能咋样呢?回去坐等呗。还是不安啊,我就主动跟旁边的小哥哥搭话了,我说你也是去胡志明的?他说是,然后我说我也是,然后我要求看看他的机票,我就是想看看他的航班号是不是跟我的一样,拖个人垫背的总好过自己一个人嘛。他给看了,尼玛,果然他的航班号是对的,就是他登机,我慌张了,我问他为什么我的不一样,交流了一会儿,我知道了,他的预计登机时间是3点半滴,航班延误鸟~~这么看来我的航班应该也是延误了。跑到信息栏一看,果然delayed,但是没有预计出发时间,哎,延误也不广播通知一下,吓死我了,国内一般都会中英双语大声广播的,习惯了。斜对面的出家人,Ta们到底是男僧还是女僧呢?这个问困扰了我很久。我在垃圾桶旁边找到了一个插座,就蹲坐在垃圾桶旁边的柱子旁给快没电了的手机充会儿电,有时候累的不行就坐到远一点的座位上死死盯着手机,幻想手机被拿走的各种可能性。夕阳已下,一抹橘红的光打在垃圾桶和柱子上,居然有了一点神圣的感觉。 百无聊赖地在机场不知道干嘛,手机网络用不起,机场WiFi连不上,我在河内小妹妹带我在小商店办了一张越南电话卡,100千买卡,100千充话费,送300兆3G流量,2G流量免费无限量使用,但这卡在我手机上经常读不出信号,通话和网络信号都非常不理想,后来我听说,在越南三星手机的网络信号比较好,可惜我的是ASUS。磨蹭半天终于到登机时间了,我特么才想起我今天是提前到胡志明的,还没定房。次噢~~booking刷半天上不去,于是我急急忙忙给朋友发短信,让完全没经验的一个好朋友帮忙上booking定,也不知道能不能成功预定上,住哪里,我就登机了,关机了。JETSTAR是廉价航空座位比较拥挤,前后左右距离都很近很近,我好像是坐在中间位置,坐在我右边的是一个系着古琦皮带的微胖越南壮年男士,不知从哪开始我们搭上话的,他说法语比说英语还要好,听说我会法语,他讲起自己在法国住过四年,主要是在那边工作的,然后就一直跟我说法语聊天,那小语速跟法国人一样一样的,我有时候还真的是跟不上了!心情还是小雀跃的,能随便遇到跟你讲法语的人可不容易啊。我俩一会儿法语一会儿英语,有一搭没一搭地聊天,他还问我到胡志明以后乘坐什 么交通工具,我说我还不确定,我在想他只是随口问问咩?还是他以为我在勾搭他然后他在测试我?~想多了~哈哈坐在我左边的是个身材不胖不瘦个子不高的越南本地大叔,他看我和另外一个大叔聊得不错,笑盈盈问我们是一对吗?当然他是用越南语隔着我和另外壮年问的。他看着我就笑,他说的我也不懂,然后我就觉得他一定是想邪恶了~~哼哼。右边的壮年给我翻译,然后我们俩说出我们也才认识的实情,完事,但大叔还是不时地冲着我笑,用着我听不懂的越南话和和热络的表情与右边的壮年聊天,我总感觉不能是特别好的事儿~我一度以为他们是不是在商量着咋把我给卖了~~最近工作量大天天加班或者乱七八糟事情,都来不及更新,再等我几天哈,我会慢慢写完的。 捷星JETSTAR不提供免费航空餐食,仅提供收费餐食,我在机场看到晚点的时候就已经到机场的餐厅吃了,饿不起啊~要了一碗面条,instant noodles,英文不好只知道rice noodle是米粉,所以我以为只要不是rice noodle就一定是面条了,上来以后果然是面条,只不过是方便面,直接用热水给你现泡的方便面。呃~貌似扯远了~嘿嘿。壮年独自要了一杯咖啡喝着,我补眠。将近10点到达西贡,手机信号几乎为0,那张在河内办的还冲了100千盾话费进去的越南的vinafone卡也是一样的!后来我才知道原来在越南三星手机对vinafone卡的匹配度是最高的,其它的都有各种信号问。下了飞机我没跟着他们走,而且先去机场问讯处有没有大巴之类的车子去市区,他们说没有了,只能打车。出租车很多,但是没有看到明显的英文或者中文提示,我一个人不敢独自打车,手机也没信号啊,我就四处搜寻中国人,不久被我听到了几句熟悉的乡音,立马一改之前的苦瓜脸转而嬉皮笑脸地腆上去求一起打车,好在他们不加犹豫善良地同意了,是3个女孩子和1个男孩子,外加1个女孩子1个米国男孩子,还有我,大家的目的地都是范五老街,刚刚好,我也不知道朋友能不能定上酒店,所以我先跟他们到他们的酒店连酒店WiFi看朋友消息,如果没订上我就跟他们一起住同一家店。 车子来了,是一辆可以坐7-8人的小车车。到酒店才知道原来这车是酒店安排来接他们的,收费22美元,还蛮便宜的,我们7人分下来也没多少钱。蹭了一会儿酒店网络才知道朋友已经成功在附近帮忙定好了酒店,150元人民币左右,安泰酒店,离这几百米距离,一对一起打车的小情侣,代号小猴子美女和米国小帅哥吧,他们也没预定,打算直接到了再找,那4个新朋友互留联系方式,道别,小情侣陪我一起找我的酒店,顺便看看我那酒店怎么样。路程不远,几次问路看地图,我们也找到了地点。一栋小楼,普普通通的酒店,老式装修,就一晚我就将就住了,他们到处继续看看。顺便说一下,酒店路上经常有服务员在门口拉客,我把手机拿在手上,就像平时那样举着看地址啥的,他们还是会好心地提醒,take care your phone!说了好多次我都没注意,后来他说了好几次我才明白过来,一开始还以为是说其它地方没住的了让我住他们那呢。咋那么热情捏!差不多一个小时之后我想下楼买水,碰到他们回来了,他们到处看看还是觉得这家性价比高一些,一开始老板是说给他们的价格可以比booking上低的,可是那间房他死活要收人家180,都这个点了,我就帮着讲价,说到12点啦给便宜点啦啥的,那小哥说他们的房间要大些价格是要贵些的,我说你看都12点过了,这个时候还应该半价的,咱都不要半价了啥啥的,最后他给了他们和我房间一样的价格,达成一致。当然这些砍价都是用的英文,我觉得吧~我也是够能说的了,超常发挥啊,来之前我可没做过语言功课也几乎不用英文的啊。酒店位置就在范五老街附近,中间隔着一个教堂似的建筑物,街上很多各种各样的酒店,地理位置是比较方便的,旁边有个全家便利店(family mart),也不知道是不是台湾的那家全家,看着蛮像的。范五老街到安泰酒店之间看到的建筑物,近月圆之夜,月格外明亮,我们在找酒店的路上看到觉得不错就停下来拍照了,半夜拿出相机还是有点心惊胆战。 第二天早上起来,准备转移到预定好的住宿townhouse50,townhouse50居然就在安泰酒店斜对面,需要通过一条5-10米长的小巷子进去,不是特别好找。townhouse跟YHA类似,简洁明亮,我定的是女子6人间,前台都会说英文,很明显这里大部分住客都是西方人。办理入住的时候我问他有中国人吗,他说没有,在我中国国庆节期间居然没有中国人在这里住,好失望。房间和洗手间分开,灯光和设计都是比较亲切温馨的,booking上预定12美元/人,含早餐。床都有厚厚的床垫,有集中的比较大的个人储物间,每个人都有自己的钥匙,不过来这的人我能感觉到都是比较nice而且温和的,所以我们贵重物品都没有特别保护起来,虽然来自不同国家不同地方不问文化,但是彼此间的信任度很高,我觉得和银川一路向北的感觉有点像。房间图:性感滴小内内~~嘿嘿 放好东西我找到前台,他们会热心的问我有什么计划,然后给予指点,并赠送一张应该是他们自己设计的地图复印版,上面会记处该城市主要景点、地例如市场等。而且他们可以提供订票服务,机票、汽车票、火车票,我需要提前买次日去vung tau的船票,想请他们帮忙,不过他们说,现在去vung tau已经没有船了。我不信,发短信给飞机上的那位壮年,叫nha的壮年,用英文短信问他哪里可以买那船票,他回了句法文,让我告诉他我的酒店地址,他过来找我让我指给我到哪买,这句话我小捉摸了一小会,地址不就完事了,干嘛还要到我酒店找我再指给我看呢?他到底是想要哪样?嗯哼,我又往邪恶了处想了~~后来我还是尝试着说了townhouse的地址,townhouse50的客厅是可以聊天的,而且肯定是安全的,然后~~然后~~他居然没回复我了...我也没催,就算了,难道他真的是有想法滴么!1天2天3天都木有回复我,(艹皿艹 )西贡我最想去的就是寻找杜拉斯小说改编的电影《情人》,听说拍摄地点有在唐人街,也就是Chinatown取景,我打算去看看,前台告诉我可以坐1路车前往,并把1路车的乘车地点告诉我。@townhouse50开放式的客厅兼餐厅,安全的会话场所~([]
前提:这是2011年的游记,只是发布的比较晚而已~回答下大家的疑虑有时候会觉得,独自旅行并不是一件看起来那么风光的事。在机场等飞机的时候,在lignon hill呆坐着等火山的时候,孤独的夜晚在legaspi的政府宿舍里看电视的时候,咬着呼吸管睁大眼睛看着紫色珊瑚的时候,子夜拿着手电筒走山路回家的时候 ,星光下泛舟海面看萤火虫的时候,在饭店里苍蝇围绕哦中洗无穷无尽的盘子的时候,在MRT出站电梯上回头望着汹涌人潮的时候,经常会想到很多东西,关于旅行,承诺,生命,时间,以及所有的一切。我似乎是为了寻找其中存在的某种意义,想要变得更坚强,更隐忍,更闪亮,更勇敢,所以才迷恋一个人的旅行。但是回首时,发现旅行仅仅是旅行本身,意义之类的东西只是转瞬即逝的心灵悸动,我害怕忘记,渴望惊喜,所以,我背上包,第二次探索菲律宾,我钟爱的国度。 我希望你不是为图而来,而是用心和我一起体会这段旅行,文字有13000多,如果没有耐心,请不要看了。*沙发couchsurfing指的是“沙发客”,一种通过网络联系当地居民免费获得住宿的办法。D1:我回来了依然是红眼delay航班,依然是怨妇一样的心态,每次旅行的开端心境仿佛都不怎么好,没心情欣赏广州的夜色,翻出《挪威的森林》英文版开始看第十遍。不知不觉睡着了,醒来已经是在马尼拉,打的去了international youth hostel.这里就像是我的家一样,每个服务生我都认识,每个微笑我都熟悉。在凌晨2点冲进门,说出“我回来了,亲爱的们。”的时候,仿佛时光倒流,一切美好的事情还会重演。D2:我的家 早上出门的第一个目的地显然是Intramuros,当跪在教堂的椅子上,仰望彩绘玻璃窗的时候,上帝告诉我,尽管过去了3个月的时光,尽管这世界上发生了千千万万的事,马尼拉还是那个马尼拉,Intramuros还是我的Intramuros,youth hostel还是我的家,内心安稳。每次回到马尼拉,最重要的事情非购物莫属,尤其Makati是我最爱,这次刚好赶上FOREVER 21打折,所有女孩像疯了一样在里面抢来抢去。全年都是夏天的国度,毛衣比夏装还便宜,每次都有一种乡下老鼠进城的感觉,眼睛都看不过来的五光十色。逛完大商场就是Baclaran market,因为青旅在附近,Baclaran market成为每天的必经之地。或许你在马尼拉,看过马尼拉湾的落日,去过各大shopping mall血拼,进过Intramuros的每一座古老建筑,但是这还不完全是真实的马尼拉。这座城市有摩天大楼,有古老建筑,更有Baclaran market 污水横流的逼仄街道,在泥水中嬉戏的儿童,推车卖饮品的小贩,鳞次栉比的服装小店,炸鸡的香味,钱币递出的响声,五花八门的Jeepny,街边鲜艳的各种切好的水果……这个世界真实的一面在彼处,也在此处。 晚上在青旅和大家聊天拍照,感叹facebook终于可以用了真是太难得了。D3:没有火山 青旅的隔音效果很差,晚上常有很吵很吵的摩托车经过,宿舍里住的基本都是菲律宾人,早上6点她们就会起床洗漱,睡得不沉,就会被吵醒。可是很奇迹地,我睡到10点才起。和一个日本哥哥一起拼车打的去机场。每次听到我说出自己的名字Sukey时,他就开心得手舞足蹈.....在机场等去legaspi的飞机的时间里,注意到一个女生,化着很得体漂亮的妆容,穿MUJI的衣服,看的书,文字是竖着写的。她就是我后来搭讪的山田蓝子,日菲混血,少见的英文超好没有口音的日本女孩,在legaspi的私立大学读书,在飞机delay的时间里,我们聊到donsol,聊到异国生活,被她表扬我的日语没有中国口音,非常开心。可惜飞机降落后就再也没有见到她。旅行中有无数的离别,我知道只有相逢的喜悦才能冲淡离别的伤感。这次来菲律宾之前匆匆忙忙在couchsurfing联系到了legaspi和coron的两个host,legaspi的host Pearl Marian 是位非常善良的大学老师,竟然来机场接我,带我去cagsawa church ,可惜天气阴沉,不能看到火山全貌。一路上她对我讲述2009年那一场台风,夺去了许许多多的生命。马荣火山就在那里,有时像守护神一样,惠泽方圆百里的田野,有时又称为猛兽,伤害山脚下的人。pearl带我去pacific mall里吃了晚饭,又叫她的医生朋友Jay帮我联系,让我住在政府宿舍里,RMB28一晚还是有空调有电视的单人房,电视可以收到好多中文频道,异国他乡能听到中文是非常开心的事。晚上下起大雨,pearl介绍我去宿舍附近的Bicol Blends Cafe 吃东西,第一次吃到云呢拿辣味雪糕,非常刺激!雨一直不停,她拿出笔记本电脑上网,我拿出书慢慢看。背景音乐是无穷无尽的爵士乐,我喜欢这种安静美好的氛围。([]
这是一篇迟来的游记了。2010年的秋天,一帮朋友自己组了个团去川西,走的一个小环线。 那时候还是个户外菜鸟,装备什么的完全不专业,上牛奶海、五色海累得半死。现在专业多了,体力也好多了,今年已经准备登乞力马扎罗了。 川西的美在国内是独一无二的,它跟西藏、新疆略有区别,壮丽中带着秀美,应该是人一生必去的地方。 旅途的酸甜苦辣,在这个帖子里慢慢发出来跟大家分享。 当时在摄影上也是个菜鸟,刚刚买了个单反,完全属于入门级,只是有一腔对摄影的热情,照片比起很多大师简直就是到此一游的感觉,大家只有凑合着看咯~~~ 马上正式开始游记 第一次到川西,出行之前做了不少功课,特别关注亚丁景区的牛奶海和五色海,因为据说海拔高、路况差、风景好,需要徒步5个小时,路程极其艰苦,很少有人能上去,于是跃跃欲试,觉得此行最重要的目的就是挑战牛奶海。 冲锋衣、冲锋裤、登山鞋、登山杖、相机(550D+18-200mm,50D+16-35mm)、脚架,欢天喜地的开始了7天艰苦的旅程。 最喜欢这张照片,头像就是这张! D1 成都/雅安/泸定/丹巴 宿:丹巴(海拔1800米) 成都出发,经雨城雅安,感受雅安三绝——雅雨、雅鱼、雅女,翻越二郎山,穿越目前我国埋藏最深,海拔最高的公路隧道——二郎山隧道(2812M),过泸定,游览泸定铁索桥,至康定瓦斯沟口,经过瓦丹公路前往千碉之都——丹巴,隔大渡河观梭坡藏寨古碉楼。 极其无聊的一天,天气阴沉沉,加上超级堵车,除了在车上死睡其他什么也没干,翻过二郎山隧道已经是下午4点过,也没有特别感觉到隧道两头风光的不同。路上车子抛锚,修理半天,到达丹巴已快11点,没有任何高原反应…… D2 丹巴/八美/新都桥/雅江 宿:雅江(海拔2640米) 丹巴出发,前往游览甲居藏寨,参观藏族村寨,经八美,观八美变色石林,经塔公草原,抵达塔公寺,经过摄影天地新都桥,翻越高尔寺山(4412M),抵达藏乡小城雅江。 天气依然阴沉沉,一早前往甲居藏寨,所谓中国最美的村庄“之一”。 也就是大山上散落着一户户藏居,有多美我觉得真的谈不上,只是觉得这些人要出去一次太困难,这样的生活条件,就算是住在世界上最美的村庄也没有意义。 甲居藏寨 其间参观了一户藏居,三层,很漂亮的房子 三年前的俺,现在已经老得不行了 每家每户房顶上都很多玉米,金灿灿的 一家藏居门上贴着喜字,两只喜鹊停在房顶上,是喜事招来了喜鹊还是喜鹊带来了喜事 甲居藏寨只是一个开始,真正的川西风光这才逐渐到来 离开甲居藏寨之后,又是坐在车上翻天覆地的睡,中午在八美的一个草原用餐,吃了160元一斤的高原无鳞鱼,微微有了阳光,心情渐好 无鳞鱼火锅,我觉得还不错,就是价格太贵 又蹦又跳的,完全没把那儿当高原 塔公草原又是一个极其无聊的地方,完全被商业化,要不是一杯纯正的酸奶,这地方真是不值得去 川西的手工酸奶,5块一杯,好吃呀,现在都还在怀念 第二天晚上住雅江,一个依山傍水的小镇,环境还不错,依旧没有高原反应 D3 雅江/理塘/稻城/日瓦/亚丁 宿:亚丁村(海拔3740米) 早雅江出发,进入康巴高原,越剪子湾山(4659M)和卡子拉山(4718M),远观世界第一高城理塘(4010M),过毛垭大草原,后翻越兔儿山,过海子山(海拔5020M),观道路两旁壮观的古冰川遗迹,经小镇桑堆抵达稻城。翻越波瓦山,观高原峡谷、看赤土河风光,观万亩杨树林,经日瓦乡,抵达亚丁村。真正的美景,以及真正与高原的战争都是从今天才开始。 这一天翻越3座海拔四千以上的高山,天气依旧不好,但幸运的是下雪了…… 第一座山,小雪 高原厕所,设施简陋,价格不菲 第二座山,大雪,雾蒙蒙的能见度很低 雪厚得已经可以没到脚踝 远处一大群牦牛,我顾不上高原不易奔跑,兴冲冲的飞奔而去~ 我妈也深一脚浅一脚尾随我来看牦牛 到兔儿山是下午,已经没有雪了,风很大,五根脚指头不死死抓着地好像就要被吹跑 因为远处山上有一个像兔耳朵一样的石头,因此此山名为“兔儿山”。很佩服取名字的人。 在路途上看到的风景,太美了 一路上很多援藏的军车,雄赳赳气昂昂,以非常慢的速度挡住一大堆急得要抓狂的自驾车队 前面一个军车翻了,大家都下来救援。总之一路上见到车祸无数,自驾川藏线难度真是不小 晚上到达亚丁村,之前听闻亚丁村住宿条件很差,但没想到差到这种程度,十几个人睡一个房间,里面有上下铺,有通铺,各个房间之间用木板相隔,完全不隔音,客厅里烧着炭火,房间里烟雾缭绕,加上高原反应,一行人都几乎一夜未眠。 D4 仙乃日/络绒牛场/亚丁 宿:亚丁村(3740米) 早起抵达亚丁村,换马上冲古,游览冲古寺。观北峰“仙乃日”——观世音菩萨(6032M),南峰“央迈勇”——文殊菩萨(5958M),东峰“夏郎多吉”——金刚手菩萨(5955M)三座神山,朝拜卓玛拉措——珍珠海(徒步),畅游络绒牛场。 去之前看了一些游记,挺唬人的,说得要上牛奶海多么可怕,纵使昨夜未眠,今天我还是坚信自己能走上去。 今天本来的行程安排:景区大门——冲古寺(此段骑马);冲古寺——络绒牛场(此段电瓶车);络绒牛场——牛奶海、五色海(徒步) 但很失策,早上出门晚了,骑马早已排成了长队,没有几个小时排不到,无奈,大家只有徒步往冲古寺走,这段路风景很好,费掉一格体力走走也值得。 等候骑马的队伍([]

据说,一只旱獭能卖50元,一个人每天最多可以抓40只旱獭,已经形成相当规模的市场。“没有买卖,就没有杀戮”记不清这是谁说过的话了,看看这些专职的盗猎分子。我们一路下来遇到了有五、六人。 这是沿途看到盗猎分子捕捉旱獭的“扣”晚上8点,我们在呼图壁河源头的一条支流边扎营,营地海拔3100m',感觉有点冷,需要穿抓绒衣外加冲锋衣。今天累计爬升500m,徒步距离12公里,那辆农用车带着我们走了5公里爬升了300米,为我们节约了1个多小时的时间。刚刚吃完饭,来了几位骑马的牧民和孩子,从他们哪里了解到,这条支流上游住着三户牧民,另外两户牧民就住在距离营地200米的山包后面,说来也巧,这时候,从那个山包后面又来了几位女孩子,牵着马过来吃草。在和她们聊天中,了解到我们要找的呼图壁河源头湖真名叫河头湖,哪里是冬季牧场,现在没有人。当他们听说我们要去河头湖时,极力劝阻我们,说我们无法到达哪里,一是因为现在水太大了,没有马匹是过不了河的。二是草原上的狼很多,另外还有熊猫(黑熊),很危险。对于他们所说信息到底有多少可信度?经验告诉我,这些信息只能作为参考。因为虽然他们很了解他们所在的大山,但他们不一定了解我们。对于这样信息我们必须要经过仔细分析才能取舍。况且,我们既然来了,就一定要自己去河头湖看看,直到走不了为止。 二、最大最美的高山牧场--夏热达坂高山牧场2009年10月当我穿越狼塔c线站在喀拉尕依特达坂顶上时,遥望着东南方向,哪里有着比西南方向的哈尔嘎特郭勒高山牧场更加广阔美丽的高山牧场,但由于资料匮乏,无法进一步了解这一地区的详细情况,也不知道哪里具体叫什么?这是当时回来后我所发表的狼c游记里的部分内容:“.....这是个三叉口大阪,往西南方向,是我们狼c前方的路线---哈尔嘎腾郭勒河谷;往东南方向也有非常明显的马道,远看也是个非常不错的高山牧场(但还没有哪里的名称和相关资料);......”2010年底,打开谷歌地球(GE),发现这一片区已经全部置换了高清图片,牧屋、马道清晰可见,这里是呼图壁河和三屯河源头三角洲地区。从GE上看,这一区域沟谷开阔,河网密布,草原辽阔。当然,最耀眼的当属呼图壁河源头的高山冰湖,该冰湖湖面海拔3500m,湖水碧绿,周围被4000m以上的雪山环绕,犹如一颗绿宝石镶嵌在雪山草原之间,非常醒目,着实令人向往......闲话不多说了,继续我们的正。D2日,8月20日,早晨起来感觉非常冷,帐篷周围的草上边都是霜。气温应该在零下5度左右。原计划今天的行程32公里,主要是因为今天的这段路没有过多海拔上升,所以是想多赶点路,争取到达河头湖(当地蒙古牧民的叫法,绿湖是当地哈萨克牧民的叫法)扎营。我们沿着呼图壁河的一条支流而下,脚下的牧草越来越高、越来越好,这一切表明,我们已经进入蒙古牧民的冬牧场。由于是冬季牧场,其他季节禁止放牧,所以草原上的牧草才这么好。这中间过了两次河,由于河水较小,直接跳过来了。这是第三次过河点,过了这里道路将转为西—东方向。 横切进入夏热达坂高山牧场人在画中 来到夏热达坂高山牧场,连平时很少照相的背包者也开始摆起poes,照个没完。 夏热达坂是一座坡度很平缓的小达坂,达坂上的牧草有20cm高,有的牧草已经发黄,里面还夹杂着许多不知名的各色野花,由于地势较高、视野非常开阔。走这样的达坂真是一种享受 石头情迷美丽的高山牧场石头捡的玛瑙石 天苍苍野茫茫看着非常养眼的高山草原达坂,海拔上升也比较平缓,可走起来并没有照片中看到的惬意。总是感觉腿上使不上劲,连领头疯跑的背包者和公格尔也不例外。感觉他们俩走得比我还费劲。清风今天状态不错,一直走在前面,我试着追他,追了一个小时,最后是我们俩最先登顶夏热达坂。登顶夏热达坂顶 在达坂顶,我想拍远处的雪山,刚刚换好300mm的长头,石头也到了。她指着我们背后的草坡说,哪里有一群羊。这是冬季牧场,没有牧民那来的羊群?我回过头看,这哪里是普通的羊群,分明是一群北山羊,数量足有50多只了。以前走狼c和乌孙古道最多见过10多只的北山羊群,这次可大发了。这个长头多次带出来过,可几乎就没有用过,这次可派上用场了。赶紧拍了几张。公格尔还闲太远,想再靠近点拍,我把相机给他,可他向羊群移动了100多米后,羊群却向着更远的山坡也移动了100多米。白忙乎了。这是放到最大的照片了,凑合看吧 夏热达坂的另外一侧也是非常广阔漂亮的高山牧场 从夏热达坂下来,就是我们要过的第二条河,它也是呼图壁河的一条主要支流。来到河边,河水没有想象中大,很好过,河边有几户牧民房子和羊圈,但都上了锁。房子的周围是一人多高的草,走在里面有点渗人。刚好也到中午午餐时间了,照例午餐休息晒帐篷睡袋。有羊群就有狼群,这就是自然界的法则。刚才在达坂顶看到的北山羊群也提示我,从今天开始我们5人将进入无人区,一切都要靠自己。因为呼图壁河源头地区是蒙古族牧民的冬季牧场,其他季节是没有人类活动的。清风还在河里捡到一只北山羊头。拍照留影,弃之河边,还有点恋恋不舍。后来的才知道,这样北山羊头沿途还很多,到后来别说背了,就连拍张照片都懒得拍了。清风在河里发现一具完整的北山羊头 顺河而下,很快就来到两河交叉处,这是呼图壁河上游最主要的“鸡爪"岔,在不足300米的长度内,先后有三条主要的支流汇集。这是第二次两河汇集,左侧的是我们刚刚过来呼河第二条流,右侧是呼图壁河干流。逆行不到300米,又是两条支流汇集,这是第一次汇集,左侧是呼图壁河干流,右侧是呼河的第三条支流 最东边的支流水量最大,也是呼图壁河的干流。溯源干流,就可以到达呼图壁河源头---绿湖(河头湖)。河头湖是当地蒙古牧民的叫法,后来我们知道,当地的哈萨克牧民称呼其为绿湖,我们感觉这个名字更能体现河头湖的特征,所以我们更愿意称呼其为绿湖。呼图壁河干流这时的马道变得时有时无,并且不停在河谷中穿行。这就带来一个问,如果我们按照马道行走,就必须不断涉水过河。但同时,我们看到,右侧的山势比较平缓,即便是没有马道也可以行走。在前队的清风、石头和公格尔趟了两次河后,我和背包者偷懒,提前从右侧山上横切,结果,路还是比较好走的,很快超越了前队。清风、石头和公格尔三人前面趟水过河走了 接下来的路,马道越来越模糊,时而河谷时而山梁。路上的草越来越深,到后来,逐渐出现小片的沼泽或者布满小草包的湿地。这样的路走起来很费劲,一不留神还可能崴脚。山坡上的路需要不断爬这样的小山包 非常感谢楼上各位新老朋友光顾,支持、顶帖!你们的跟贴树已经仔细看过,不胜感谢,谢谢你们的支持!这里不再一一回复,我先抓紧时间发帖子。 河道时宽时窄,马道时高时低沼泽地 需要精心选择落脚地 牧草时高时矮,看看这里的牧草已经有半人多高 前方的绿湖方向已经变天而另外一方却还是蓝天白云([]

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([]
我之萌生去尼泊尔的想法,源于2010年的走阿里环线的路上。回来后就开始埋头查找资料、做攻略、约伴、订出行计划……。找了N个理由,说服自己把尼泊尔列入了优先考虑的长线旅游目的地。到2011年9月2日拟定中的出发日期来临,却没能如愿拿到车票,晕!于是当机立断,比照之前不多、天使预定的5号飞拉萨机票的大体时间,我们也订下了三张9月5日经重庆中转飞拉萨的机票,打算从陆路进入尼泊尔。尘埃落定,尼泊尔:我终于可以成行了!我们的行程D1.长沙(飞机)---重庆---拉萨D2-- D3. 拉萨(尼泊尔驻拉萨领事馆申请证)D4.拉萨(包车)---樟木D5.樟木(包车)---加德满都D6.加德满都(大巴)---博卡拉D7.博卡拉(包车)-- Nayapool(徒步)---UllereD8.Ullere(徒步)---GhorepantD9.Ghorepant(徒步)---Poonhill--- Ghorepant---GhandrukD10. Ghandruk(徒步)--- Nayapool(大巴)---博卡拉D11. 博卡拉停留D12. 博卡拉(小飞机)---加德满都D13—D16. 加都停留(包括加都谷地三古都:加德满都、帕坦、巴德岗)D17. 加德满都(包车)---樟木(包车)---拉萨D18—D20. 拉萨停留D21—D23. 拉萨(火车)---长沙 一、长驱直入尼泊尔 芳姐的临时加入,使得最后由不多、天使、芳姐、康贝莎、葬沙和笔者等六人组成的小分队分别于5号和7号搭乘三个不同的航班先后抵达拉萨。有幸得到在拉萨工作的湖南老乡小周等人的热情接待,让我们有了平生第一次身披洁白哈达的殊荣,安排的住宿地又恰巧就在罗布林卡附近,离尼泊尔驻拉萨领事馆步行仅5分钟的距离,为我们提供了极大的便利。 尼泊尔的证相对比较容易和简单,这一点最是可爱:不用预约,头天上午填好表,一并交上护照及相应的费用(15天行程175元,30天行程280元),第二天下午一般就可以顺利拿到证。于是乎,我们6号上午排一次长长的队交上了护照,7号下午又排一次长长的队取回了护照。 尽管领事馆要求交证取证都必须本人亲历亲为,但因为芳姐要7号下午才能到达,为了不影响既定的行程,我们按在领事馆前排队时道听途说得来的方法,稍微灵活运作了一下,这样六个人的护照同一天都好了,看来有一句话确实是放之四海而皆准的:所有的外国人长得都是一个样! 接下来就是找车。领事馆门前聚集着三三两两揽客去樟木的掮客,我们在排队等待取证的时候本已以300元一人初步定了个车,但当我们取证后再电话联系准备敲定出发时间的时候,居然被放了鸽子。呵呵,还来得及重新找车。这次以400元一人定下了一台车,然而到了晚上,又被要求加价到450元一人。退而让之,只得应允,一切固然当以明天能再出发为大局! 9月8日早七点,藏族司机边巴的华晨金杯商务车带上我们六个人及六个大包还有若干小包离开拉萨,前往国道318的终端樟木。还是这熟悉的道路,路况比较去年又好了不少,不过因为限速,我们的车开得并不快,经过14小时近800公里的奔波,晚上9;15分我们到达樟木。利用吃饭的当口,每人按自己的需要,以112.73的汇率换了至少3000人民币的尼泊尔卢比,至此,看来一切都准备妥当了。 晚上不知什么时候下起了大雨,溪流无休止的哗哗声夹着雨滴或急或缓的淅沥声构成了美妙的和弦音。待至天明雨已消停,但见被参天古木包围着的樟木小镇让轻薄的白云随意缭绕,潮湿的空气中飘忽着不知名植物淡淡的清香,沁人心脾。一切都如此和谐,但很快,窄小街道的宁静开始被早起游客的脚步声快门声还有惊叹声打破…… 早九点,约好的小巴以每人10元的价格拉我们下到了山下的口岸,等候过境的游客已在自觉排队,妙的是在出境大厅待检的过程中,我们就被尼方揽客去加都的掮客盯上,也好,省得过境后再临时去找车,很快我们按6个人共4000卢比谈妥了价格。好在出境的国人手续相对简单,不用填表但验证却是非常严格的,开包检查那是必须的!经过友谊桥进入尼方口岸,在闹哄哄的矮小入境办公房内又是一番折腾,然而应该说是非常顺利的,并没遭受传说中的尼方海关人员的刁难和勒索,于是在北京时间1130分,我们一行登上了印度产的TATA小面包车,开始了13天尼泊尔的奇妙旅程。 因为证,首先得在拉萨停留两天,近在咫尺的罗布林卡广场美景当然不会错过又一次行走在熟悉的国道318上,看看这云像什么?丰收的景色路边的格桑花开得真旺站在5248米海拔的嘉措拉山口,已经可以清晰地看到喜马拉雅的群峰2 g" 一路的艰辛顷刻化为过眼烟云先给自己秀一把一处废墟在阳光下展示它历经沧桑的落寞的美!& 藏羚羊在它们世世代代的家园自由自在地生活半山腰上的樟木小镇一早下到口岸,排队等待过境期待的兴奋挂在脸上顺利进入尼境,和一名尼方海关官员同挤在去加德满都的TATA车副驾驶座上很快,他们成了我们的第一批尼泊尔朋友!这拉风的镜头在国内可难得一见 二、穿越安娜普尔娜的苦与乐 尼泊尔有上百条行山路线,而Annapurna Base Camp 安娜普尔娜大本营(简称ABC)是尼泊尔最时尚的行山线路。这种百分百成熟的徒步线路根本无需攻略和向导,主干线上想要故意迷路也是很困难的。山上遍布旅馆和各类服务设施,甚至还有温泉池,非常舒适安全,还颇有些小资情调。根据所做的功课,为此,我的计划是选择8天徒步安娜普尔娜大环线。 然而到达博卡拉后,不多和天使立马被那里的湖光山色迷住,于是选择了在博卡拉发呆,剩下的四个人多倾向于4天的安娜普尔娜小环线,加上来自北京的老岳和小卢,徒步行山还是六个人。办理登山证环保证、请背夫、包车,所有事务都委托给了燕巢旅舍的女老板燕子,多花了点银子而省了东跑西颠的劳顿和大把的时间。 根据燕子的建议,我们四天的徒步行山安排是: D1.从博卡拉包车至徒步起点Nayapool后,按顺时针方向,上升近千米,徒步到Ullere(海拔1960米); D2.从Ullere徒步至Ghorepant(海拔2860米); D3。从Ghorapant徒步至Poonhill(海拔3210米),然后返回Ghorapant,再下到Ghandruk(海拔1940米); D4.从Ghandyuk徒步至起点Nayapool再乘车返回博卡拉。1.徒步第一天 显而易见,第一天和第三天的路途较远任务将比较艰巨。登山证环保证到手已经是加都时间上午11;00,出发! 从博卡拉到徒步起点Nayapool约一小时车程。进山之后,在接下来的几天里,我们将处于一个没有任何机动车、完全原生态和相对开放的世界。 在经过了几个小村庄后,从缓坡、泥石流滑坡路段,到较陡的山坡、以及据称有3000级台阶的山岗,随着体能的逐步消耗,徒步的强度也越来越大。背负的相机包虽然只有10几斤,却感觉拉着我直往后坠。当太阳西下的时候,我们离营地仍有需步步登高的约两小时距离! 晚归的小鸟在树上叽叽喳喳,和着草丛中的虫鸣为我们鼓劲加油,无奈大腿以下一阵疼痛一阵麻木,大有不听指挥无法支撑自己的驱体之势,只得一次次停下来休息,想方设法补充能量,咬紧牙关挪步前行。 就在此时,安娜普尔娜山区最大最圆最美最亮的一轮明月如同小太阳般从身后的山脊上跳了出来,亮晃晃地刺人眼球,月光像水银一样洒在树上,洒在地上,洒在我们身上,照亮了我们前行的石阶山路。呵呵,今天是中国的农历八月十四,明天就是中秋节了呢! “燕子答应给我们一个杭州月饼大家分了吃的,可惜走的时候都忘了。”不知谁说了一句。 “明天我们买一只真正的走地鸡自己做了吃吧!”马上有人提议。 或许是明天那只不知还在何方的美味走地鸡刺激我的味觉神经的同时,也给我提前带来了能量,我们互相提醒催促,加快步伐,在体能透支,几近虚脱之时,晚830分,我们到达了Ullere。和中国西藏、印度、不丹一样,尼泊尔也是一个生殖崇拜的国家。幸福的一家兄和弟如果你懂尼泊尔语,加入这聊天的行列一定很有趣看来山里人的头\颈部都是相当有耐力的丰收的另一景象徒步第一天的暑热难耐!(
