2009年9月28日 早上5点多就起了床,匆匆去赶民航班车。乘坐845的CZ3682航班,1130到贵阳,在机场问了一下去荔波的航班,已经飞走了,于是彻底打消了飞荔波的念头。到延安西路客车站坐上下午100去荔波的长途车。 上次做长途旅行已经是去年国庆节的事了,那次去的是广西。一年之后再次出行,心中不免兴奋。虽然不是高速公路,但路况还不错,6个小时的车程竟未觉得十分疲劳。一进入荔波就看到了碧绿的樟江,荔波城区就是沿着樟江而建的,可以说樟江是荔波的母亲河。我们住的溪桥宾馆就在樟江边,离长途车站也只有几步路。荔波是一个新鲜而精致的小城,与我想象中的山中小镇的样子完全不同,可能近年旅游业的兴起已经使荔波发生了巨变。 在长途车上结识了两位旅伴,她们也是结伴从北京来荔波玩的。我们一起去不远处的茂兰旅游接待中心咨询了在荔波的日程安排,并订下了后天去茂兰的包车。之后,我们步行去美食街,中途在路边的大概叫月亮小吃的小馆吃了一碗牛肉粉。想不到,吃过米粉竟然饱了,原本要吃荔波烤鱼的,也只好做罢,留待明天了。不过,美美的喝了一碗杨梅汤,很爽。 2009年9月29日 今天的行程是小七孔和大七孔。到荔波之前,以为玩大、小七孔都是要包车的,其实大可不必。在长途车站有很多车到这两个景点,方便极了。 小七孔景区范围很大,要想在一天内把主要景点看完,必须乘坐电瓶车。电瓶车的第一站就是小七孔桥。这是一座建于清道光年间的古桥,石块砌成,桥的规格并不大,中有七孔,因此被称作小七孔桥,小七孔景区也是因此桥而得名的。 小七孔桥把一带碧水分割开来,桥身在宁静的水中投下倒影,四周树木繁茂,是个极其幽静的所在。 桥头的一棵枯树有半截身子在水中,枝条扭曲着,遒劲有形,愈发为这处景观增添了几许古朴。 小七孔景区最重要的景观就是水,各种形态、各种颜色的水。 从小七孔桥沿溪边小路西行,不久就到了拉雅瀑布。拉雅瀑布从山上倾泻而下,汇入响水河,响水河在这一带从高到低形成68级叠水,叠水、瀑布相呼应,千姿百态,很好看。 从这里向上,一共有68级叠水,不过,只有一直沿着响水河走上去才能都看到。 这是68级叠水的一部分,那水极清澈,从高处一层一层地跌落下来,仿佛有说不尽的欢乐。 这就是拉雅瀑布,水被山岩和灌木撕扯成千丝万缕。 从侧面看叠水。 小七孔景区里到处都是瀑布,形态各异。水会为风景增添灵气,此说不谬,小七孔就因水而充满了灵动之气。 这是个不知名的小瀑布。 所谓叠水,其实就是成群的小瀑布。 游览路线一直沿着响水河向上,把68级瀑布都看过,就到了第二个电瓶车停靠点,电瓶车把游人送到下一个景点:水上森林。水上森林属湿地景观,从电瓶车停靠点到水上森林要穿过一片密密的竹林。 在灌木丛中发现了一条蛇,看它身上彩色的斑纹,很可能是有毒的。 水边的丛林里有这种美丽的花,它有一个非常罗曼蒂克的名字,叫曼珠莎华。 美丽的野花在水边尽情开放,伴着潺潺流水,丝毫不感寂寞。 两只蜻蛉落在水边的树叶上,仿佛在接受检阅。 随处可见结了这种果实的灌木,不知道是什么。 茂密的树木扎根在流水里,根系抱定水下的岩石,形成了奇特的水上森林。这是植物为适应多地表水的地理环境所具有的特性。 生物多样化几乎是所有湿地的共同特征。我虽不懂生物学,但也随手拍下一些照片。 全身蓝色的蜻蜓。 蓝头红尾的蜻蜓。 又一种不同的蜻蜓。还有好多种呢,不过有的特别警觉,不易接近;还有的只飞不落,所以不易拍到。 一只花蝴蝶。 这种蝴蝶好象比较少见,身后拖着长长的尾巴。 又一处小瀑布 水生植物极其丰富,典型的湿地景观。 走出湿地,坐上电瓶车,下一站是卧龙潭。 “哇!”第一眼望见卧龙潭,我不由得叫出声来,太美了,美得不可思议!如果不是以前去过九寨沟,恐怕不敢相信,现实中真的有这样美丽的景致吗?难怪,贵州人自称小七孔可以与九寨沟相媲美。我是2003年去的九寨沟,那时的九寨沟在旅游旺季已经是人满为患了,小七孔毕竟还没有那么喧嚣,再说,现在是国庆前夕,还没到游客最多的时候,我们可以在欣赏美景的同时享受一分宁静。 耳边只是瀑布的轰鸣,那是自然之声。 潭,蓝得幽深;瀑,白得耀眼。 卧龙潭和瀑布是由于一道弧形的人工坝拦截了响水河而形成的。 微风拂过卧龙潭,水面波光鳞鳞,煞是好看。 看,这象不象是一只深邃的眼睛! 卧龙潭是小七孔景区的最精华,水在这里变成了令人难以置信的蓝色。潭的四周,林木幽深,仿佛隐藏着许多秘密。([]

金秋十月,有幸与中国民俗摄影协会徐州分会一起去华北晋冀摄影采风行。国庆长假,对去哪里和怎么去一直是个很纠结的事情。十一长假,金秋季节,不出去吧,觉得错失好季节,出去吧,又担心车满人满,到哪里都是人挤人,人挨人,这对于不爱凑热闹的驴友影友们而言是个大忌。正巧摄影协会也在讨论此事,最后决定走一条冷门线路,来一次金秋晋冀摄影采风行,哇,好线路,二话不说,咱报名,于是乎,就“成就”了这趟旅行线路:徐州—清西陵—紫荆关长城—蔚州古城—上苏庄—空中草原—蔚县—暖泉古镇—大同—悬空寺—应县—恒山—平遥—徐州D19月30日 徐州—清西陵 9月30日晚上8:00,一行32人包了一辆大客出发了,一车的欢声笑语,一夜的辛苦旅途,于10月1日清晨到达此行的第一站——清西陵。D2 10.1清西陵—紫荆关—乌龙沟—蔚县 清西陵位于河北省易县城西15公里处永宁山下,离北京120多公里。周界约100公里,面积达800余平方公里。清西陵是清代自雍正时起四位皇帝的陵寝之地,陵内共有14座陵墓,包括雍正的泰陵、嘉庆的昌陵、道光的慕陵和光绪的崇陵。此外还有3座后陵,以及若干座公主、妃子园寝。我们第一个参观的是光绪的崇陵。崇陵是光绪皇帝的陵墓,也是我国最后一座帝王陵墓。光绪帝名载湉,爱新觉罗氏。其父是道光皇帝的第七子醇亲王,其母叶赫那拉氏,是慈禧太后的胞妹。同治帝病故后,由慈禧太后做主,指定继承皇位。崇陵始建于1909年,陵址名叫金龙峪。其规模虽不如雍正、嘉庆的陵墓那样庞大,没有大碑亭、石像生等建筑,但它除继承清代建陵规制,参照咸丰帝定陵、同治帝惠陵的风格外,又吸收了古代建筑技术的某些精华,仍具有它的特色。整个陵寝根据守卫和祭把的需要,建筑了五孔桥、巡房、牌楼门、神厨库、三路三孔桥、朝房、班房、隆恩门、燎炉、配殿、隆思殿、三座门、石五供、方城、明楼、宝顶和地宫。 皇家的陵寝就是不一样,入陵的牌楼门都是这么有气派。 步入牌楼门 看这汉白玉桥栏杆的“三路三孔桥”,真有天安门金水桥的范儿。 隆思殿内用的木料均为异常珍贵的铜藻、铁藻,质地坚硬无比,用这种木料制作一把普通太师椅,重量竟高达百余斤,所以隆思殿被誉为“铜梁铁柱”,且梁架之间增加了隔架料,既能托顶,又使殿内更加美观。隆思殿内的四根明柱,底部有海水江涯图案,柱身为一条金龙盘绕向上,较其它帝陵的宝相花更加富丽堂皇。 尽管非常之奢华,皇家,最终也随着流逝的时光成为了过去。。。。 后面的这座院落,便是光绪皇帝的陵寝。光绪登基时,正值清朝面临内忧外患,营造陵寝的工程不能如期破土动工,一直拖延到1908年,光绪皇帝驾崩,1909年才由宣统朝着手操办。修建期间,清朝已走向灭亡,宣统皇帝与隆裕皇太后退位,于是向中华民国政府提出要求:“德宗崇陵未完工程,如制妥修,其奉安典礼,仍如旧制,所有实用经费,均由中华民国支出。”当时,南京临时政府的议和代表及各省都督,对清室要求宽大应许。正门显然不是我们走的,我们自然是走边门进入。 光绪驾崩时,陵还未建,他的梓宫(棺椁)在故宫观德殿暂安。1909年3月,光绪的棺椁又由观德殿迁往西陵梁格庄行宫停放,一路起落,共耗银438400多两。虽然北京至西陵当时已通火车,但光绪棺椁仍用人抬。前面有卫兵开道,随后是皇帝和王公大臣,后面还有隆裕皇后、瑾贵妃等,最后是1400多辆轿车。棺椁拾至阜城门,仅十里远,就撤掉纸钱1000斤,用银260两。北京至西陵行程240华里,抬杠夫每天分为60班,每班128人,轮流抬着棺椁艰苦行进。沿途支搭三宿芦殿,耗银29000两,经过四天三夜,才把光绪的棺椁运到梁格庄行宫,安放于正殿之中。不知当时从北京至西陵行程240华里,杠夫每天分为60班,每班128人,经过四天三夜,轮流抬着棺椁是如何艰苦行进的,但从这陵寝正殿可以感受出当时的排场了。正在这高大的地宫正殿前拍摄,突然从上面跑下来一个孩子,我赶紧抓住机会咔嚓了一张,为这阴气沉重的陵寝增添了点“活气”。来此参观的人们大多是来凭吊下这段历史的,同时也通过这些看看皇家的奢靡生活。 大殿下面的地宫才是摆放灵柩的地方。 据说在光绪的棺椁正式安放崇陵地宫之际,清朝的遗老遗少还在这座帝王陵前,演出了一幕极尽愚忠的闹剧。光绪的老师梁鼎芬是比较典型的一位,他在崇陵的修建过程中,经常到工地瞻祝,为工程的修建筹款募捐。在为光绪送葬时,他由两个亲随搀扶着在陵前执绋(牵引灵枢的大绳),从行宫一直走到下宫殿。当人们将棺椁、随葬品布置妥当退出地宫后,唯有梁鼎芬疯疯癫癫地坐在地宫内预备给光绪殉葬。后被其亲随背出,才算完事。还真有为清朝皇帝自愿殉葬的忠臣哦。尽管清廷的遗臣为修建崇陵费尽心思,光绪还是没有能够在他的地下寝宫里平安地长眠下去。1931年军阀混战时期,一伙不明身份的兵匪盗掘了崇陵地宫,多数随葬品被劫走。 地宫中合葬着光绪帝和他的隆裕皇后,这是他们的棺椁,其陪葬物品自然是一无所有了。 。。。。。。。。 清西陵北依峰峦叠翠的永宁山,景态雄伟。 这里有华北地区最大的古松林,数以万计的古松、古柏把这一带装点得清秀葱郁,古朴大方。 这陵墓前还有个壁照,也是用来辟邪的吗? 为了增强排水性能,每个宫殿基部都建有2米宽的散水,明楼前和三座门前分别挖砌了御带河,地宫内凿有14个水眼与龙须沟相通。 妃子墓,妃子墓的琉璃瓦装饰就不是黄色的而是绿色的了。 这满院子里的树让这沉寂的陵墓区不显得那么阴森了。 这是珍妃的墓。清帝后妃有两位女子曾获“珍妃”这一封号,一位是道光帝珍妃赫舍里氏,另一位就是广为人知的光绪帝宠妃他他拉氏。珍妃(1876年-1900年),他他拉氏,满洲镶红旗人。清朝光绪皇帝妃子,也是最为受宠的妃子,后因获罪于慈禧而被投井杀害。而道光帝的珍妃赫舍里氏(1804-?)则卒年葬处不详。恪顺皇贵妃(1876年—1900年)他他拉氏,满洲镶红旗人,人们一般习惯按她曾获封的珍妃来称呼她。清朝光绪皇帝的侧妃,也是最为受宠的妃子,生于光绪二年二月初三为礼部左侍郎长叙之女。光绪十四年(1888年)10月初五慈禧太后选定其弟,副都统桂祥的女儿叶赫那拉氏为光绪帝之后,同时封珍妃与她的姐姐瑾妃为嫔,时瑾嫔15岁,珍嫔13岁。光绪二十年,两人同时晋封为妃。珍妃其祖父乃陕甘总督裕泰,其父长叙曾任户部右侍郎,其伯父长善乃广州将军,珍妃与其姊瑾妃自幼随长善在广州长大。珍妃10岁那年,长善卸任广州将军,她与姊姊随同北返北京。 1889年,珍妃两姊妹被入选宫中,13岁的她被封为珍嫔,15岁的姐姐封为瑾嫔,嫔为九等宫女序列中的第六等,直至光绪二十年甲午春(1894年),因慈禧太后六旬万寿加恩得晋嫔为妃,前面还有皇后、皇贵妃、贵妃三个等级。光绪26年(1900年)8月初,八国联军集结兵力进攻北京,慈禧太后挟持光绪帝慌忙出逃。[行前,命太监将幽禁于北三所寿药房中的珍妃唤出,推入位于慈宁宫后贞顺门的井中淹死。当时,珍妃年仅25岁。 瑾妃的墓光绪十四年(1888年),在光绪帝的选后大典上,瑾妃和妹妹珍妃同时入选,成为光绪皇帝的妃子,并在隔年元月行大婚礼,之后个别以瑾嫔和珍嫔的身分入宫。在入宫之后,瑾嫔住在东六宫之一的永和宫,妹妹珍妃也同样的住在同为东六宫之一的景仁宫。瑾嫔在宫中并未如妹妹珍嫔一般,获得光绪帝之宠幸,相反的,她和皇后—叶赫那拉˙静芬一般受到冷落,但瑾嫔并不以为意。六年之后,两人被晋升为瑾妃和珍妃。光绪二十年(1894年),珍妃因故得罪慈禧太后,姊姊瑾妃也受到牵连而一同被降为贵人,但在隔年两人又恢复了原本的妃子位号,但珍妃却受到了监禁,而瑾妃却依然保有自由、继续住在永和宫。光绪二十六年(1900年)七月,八国联军攻入京师,慈禧太后携宫眷出逃紫禁城,瑾妃便是其中一员。在宣统皇帝溥仪登基之后,瑾妃继续住在永和宫,并被尊为兼祧皇考瑾贵妃。在宣统逊位后,上徽号为端康皇太妃,她和溥仪的关系似乎不坏,溥仪称他为皇阿娘,每遇年节还会请她一同欢庆。溥仪退位后的次年,隆裕太后崩逝,瑾妃在四大太妃的地位中有所提高,她在四大太妃中年龄最轻,思想也较开通。民国十一年,在逊清朝廷为溥仪议婚时,瑾妃支持以婉容为皇后。瑾妃在永和宫过著很有品味的生活,时常以丹青书法自娱。在永和宫的摆设中,有着数样的瓶盘盆景、上头都镶嵌著精致出色的钟表和花鸟人物,同时她也是一位美食家,经常派人到京城附近的天福号买酱肘子供她吃早餐,由于瑾妃喜爱美食,因此永和宫里的小膳房,烹饪相当地出色,逊清的王公旧臣都爱吃她赏的饭。1923年,瑾妃五十寿辰,特邀请梅兰芳等著名京剧演员入宫演戏. 民国十三年(1924年),在和溥仪及其余逊清皇室成员欢度中秋佳节后,瑾妃受了风寒一病不起,五天后因情况恶化而死在永和宫,享年五十一岁,并以端康皇贵妃的身分,下葬于光绪帝的崇陵妃园寝。谥为温靖皇贵妃。在崇陵,还有做骑马旅游生意的,只是这么点路程,并没什么人骑马,这里的马儿就悠哉悠哉了。参观完崇陵接着去看泰陵。雍正的泰陵,居于陵区的中心位置,是清西陵中建筑最早、规模最大的一座。其余各陵则分布在东西两侧。 泰陵的神道,由三层巨砖铺成,两边苍松翠柏,上南往北分布着40多项大大小小的建筑。 ([]
[ ]9、16晚六点半青岛准时出发北京徒步长城,这是几年来第一次如此准时出行,感谢童鞋们。在天津和黄骅之间,大雨瓢泼而至,再加北屿短信告之北京大雨,心骤然又不安起来,虽说之前看密云晴天,但现在对天气预报着实不敢抱太大希望,只能想没雨就好。一路雨中行至北京,五环接上娜娜。行至密云,路边一点雨的迹象也没有,大喜。17早七点半从古北口上山,沿长城蜿蜒行走。且行且拍,队伍慢慢一点点拉开,据说走在前面的是小报记者,走在后面的是摄影师一路慢慢走来,在金山岭长城内沐浴阳光梦回明朝等落日也是很开心的一件事、、、、、、、18日清早三点半起床四点农家出发,四点十分进检票处,一路急行军四点半到达后川口上到敌楼上,开始夜爬长城。司马台景区于2010年六月因景区修整关闭,而我们要去的望京楼就在司马台景区内,大家不远千里来到长城上,望京楼也是一个必须要去的地方之一,集体决定后要夜爬长城就为了避开景区保安,及至到了司马台景区内因长城内地面以修复,逐开始了跑城。一路小跑过了铁索桥,经东坡村八点十分上到望京楼和仙女楼。中午十二点离开密云,天津晚饭顺便逛了意式风情街并观看天津夜景。于零晨四点抵青,至此结束长城徒步开心而快乐的旅程。以流水帐记录全程,后续期待油国佳文有片片的童鞋全程砸过来,分享开心快乐之旅第一张是从古北口到金山岭的线路图,全程17公里用时10小时,其中行走才用了五小时多点,其余时间不是在拍照就是在休息,很惬意呢。因第二天的数据丢失没有详细的记录,只能用景区线路图来做个大概说明,走涵龙沟经丫髻山寨、花楼、东五眼楼、麒麟壁、文字长城、过温泉水库经东坡村直达望京楼,大约也有十公里左右。 野长城游记去穿越古北口、金山岭、司马台三段长城是很早之前就定下来的,为此兴奋了好久,耳畔一直回响着张明敏的《我的中国心》这首歌:“长江、长城,黄山、黄河,在我心中重千斤,无论何时,无论何地,心中一样亲。留在心里的血,澎湃着中华的声音...... ”一直盼着这一天的到来。之前出去玩,心情总是非常的愉悦,而这次长城之行心里却觉着沉甸甸的,可能是长城在我心里过于神圣,就像是朝拜一样吧。作为中年人,在面对这些历史古迹的时候,感触与年轻人会有所不同,可能会更深一些的。车在漆黑的高速公路上飞驰,我的思绪早已飞到了长城之巅。夜很深了,车厢里早已没有了年轻人的嬉闹声,进入河北境内,下起了雨,且越下越紧,进入耳畔的只有雨声和发动机的低鸣,秋雨打在车窗上,就像打在我的心头,一丝寒意袭来,不禁打了个寒战。这是怎么了?我渴望了解历史,我离着历史越来越近。长城,我来了。登上长城,残缺破败的残墙断壁映入眼帘,心中不免平添了一丝苍凉之感,但它雄伟依然,尽显残缺之美,抑制不住激动的我频频按下快门,始终冲在队伍的最前头。以前我来过长城,但那是修复过的慕田峪长城,心里涌现的只有感叹和自豪,而这次站在未修复的明长城上,头一次与古代遗迹有了一种心灵的碰撞,我能读懂你吗?我觉得长城与圆明园不一样,虽然都是历史遗迹,虽然都已破败,但长城体现的是古老中国的强大和不可战胜,而圆明园则寓意着中国的耻辱。一个从强大到衰败的中国历史就这么浮现出来。我不是搞历史的,我只是历史长河中的一个过客。我也是一个爱国者,我为我的祖先感到骄傲。今天来到这,除了震撼,我只能用我的思维去了解它,解读它;用我的双脚去丈量它,接触它;用我的心灵去抚摸它,亲吻它。 长城从嘉峪关而来,向山海关而去,绵延近万里; 长城从历史而来,向未来而去,历经几千年; 长城从儿时父母的故事而来,也必将在我们的子孙中传唱下去,世世代代,永不停息。 在古代,长城用它坚强挺拔的身躯抵挡外来列强的入侵;在现在,长城用它苍老破败但依旧雄伟的容貌迎接中外慕名而来的游客;到未来,长城必将成为中华民族的象征,中华儿女的中华魂。而此时的长城则像一位老者,静静地安卧在那里,向人们讲述着中华民族的兴衰荣辱,讲述着它所目睹的历史故事,讲述着它曾经的辉煌,从没停止过......

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([
发帖子前,我犹豫了很久到底要不要发这个帖,在夏特路上,老孤说过,“能花力气写帖子的人,肯定没力气走路”。虽然我对他这种言论嗤之以鼻,但迫于他的淫威,我一路忍着。老孤问我:夏特好玩不?我说不好玩,他说有机会带我玩好玩的,能让我骂爹的。我知道他说的是狼塔C,所以在走狼C之前,我都得顺着他。关于夏特穿越,有爱美丽的大帖在,咱的帖子就凑合着看看,其实,我是冲着奖品中那个野餐篮来的。当然,这一路的点滴,也应该记录下来。近五天的穿越,让一群来自五湖四海的陌生人,成为了好兄弟,好姐妹,还有什么比这个更重要呢。先放几张图片,作为漫步夏特记的引子。写帖其实是一个回忆和看片的过程,而回忆和看片往往容易让自己“热泪盈眶”。谢谢一起陪伴走过的那些兄弟姐妹,老孤、五道黑、农夫、菲儿姐、蓝色、KK、花花、半仙,谢谢静尘姐姐……很多很多,谢谢天公作美,五天的万里无云天气,赐给我一个白白的眼镜框……一起翻过达坂一起走过冰川一起趟过冰河其实我很鄙视自己的优柔寡断,在狼C与夏特之间,居然纠结了好长时间。在临近出发不得不做出选择时,居然用了抛硬币的办法,正面是狼C,反面是夏特,结果连抛三次,都是反面。既然与夏特有缘,就走夏特吧!30日下午,迫不及待屁颠屁颠赶往机场,晚点半小时。队伍在乌鲁木齐最晚等我到20点,若赶不上,就走狼C了,实在不行,还可以去喀纳斯腐败一圈。这里要谢谢砾石周到的安排,接机后在半路截住了队伍的大巴,才得以顺利坐上前往昭苏的大巴。瘸子、登陆、花花、木头、半仙……我们这些人在群里早已聊得火热,俨然一个亲友团。走夏特之前,因为肠炎,我已经一周没有吃米饭,都是喝一些流质的食物,也没有碰肉,还吃了一堆抗生素,整个身子软绵绵的,浑身没劲。包里还带着一周的药量。上车后,菲尔姐递给我一个鸡腿,我饿的实在慌,也管不了那么多了,几口就吞了下去,并祈祷着肚子别翻江倒海。一夜好眠。在昭苏县城吃完早餐后,我们赶往夏特乡。听说,还有一个捐助仪式。在夏特边防派出所老孤是个大好人,说白了是dao嘴豆腐心。似乎那些贫困山区的父老乡亲们都认识他,想必是经常搞公益活动。这次走夏特,老孤带队,是缘于江枫。江枫要去祭拜他的好友青城,因为这份情谊,所以本打算不再走夏特的老孤,再走最后一次夏特。老孤说,他已经走了12次夏特,8次狼C,已经走得快吐了,再走两次狼C,他就不再带队走这两条线,而要走新线路了。你看他的脑门,都走秃了,照相时只要对着他的脑门就曝光过度。队伍在夏特乡边防派出所和小朋友们合影!捐赠结束后,我们赶往夏特古道公园入口。在这里,要与管理部门交涉,才能进入。这位美女叫蓉蓉,五道黑全程保护的对象,关系可想而知。关于五道黑,有好多传说,总之,是个人物!木头也忍不住摆骚,这家伙体力很好,全程见不到他屁股。夏特古道穿越许可证靠着车窗,大伙轮流订“生死状”,大约是出了事情,景区等部门没有责任之类。当时心里还挺有点挺小感慨的,这场面,有那么一点悲壮吧。办完手续后,进入景区,中巴车载着我们一路颠簸地驶往徒步起点。路过山神处,下车拜过,保佑我们一行安全穿越。中巴车将我们送至徒步起点,在这里,看到了几家牧民。正收拾背包准备往肩上扛的时候,老孤说有人愿意再往里送我们一程,费用也不贵,于是,刚把包从中巴车上拿下来,又往卡车上搬。二十多个人,站在一辆拉马的卡车上,颠簸着浩浩荡荡驶向小木屋。一路,要不停地躲闪来自小道两边树枝的侵袭。天空很蓝,在车子停下寻路的间隙,也不忘照上两张。第一次到新疆,这里的景色,对我来说,充满新鲜感。到了小木屋后,夏特徒步算式真正开始。第一天的路很轻松,走过夏特牧场,到河边,就到了我们的营地。路也好走,有清晰的马道,应该是为明天的达坂翻越热身。出发之前,大伙合影。我、KK和半仙已经迫不及待地背上了背包。一行中,大雨、彼得、花花、龙四都是走过狼C的,大雨还登顶过慕士塔格峰,这次是第二次走夏特,花花和龙四是刚从狼C回来,又赶上了夏特的队伍。我们膜拜花花,认为她是狼C和夏特连走的第一个美女。龙四已经在新疆泡了好几个月,走完夏特,又要赶往昆仑山拣玉石。半仙登过哈巴和玉珠,走起路来不带停的。我不知道老孤的包有多重,只知道包里装了一大袋子大米,好几个锅。休息的时候,他掂量了一下靠在他包上的背包,问谁的,我说我的,他狠狠踹了包一脚,骂好轻……我的包20公斤,确实有点轻。 当然,我也不会忘记组织。我了表示我对组织的忠诚,我一开始就套上了组织的背包罩,只是觉得这个背包罩太软了,不够硬朗。我还带了组织的旗帜,但可悲的是这一路居然忘了拿出来晒晒。在一处平地休息,等待后面的队员。天空似乎飘起了黑云,要下雨的样子,风也大了起来,只好放下包,穿上冲锋衣。这个时候,已经是下午4点多,离我们的营地,大概还有1个小时的路程。夏特穿越,居然已经在不知不觉中开始了。五道黑深邃的目光五道黑,是一种鱼的名字,分布于位于新疆的额尔齐斯河与乌伦古河流域,相必是中肉质鲜美的鱼。我们亲切的称他为道黑,因为不顺口,也有人称他为黑道。于是,一个温文尔雅的名字,就开始带点暴力色彩了。道黑这一路,是鞍前马后,用实际行动阐释着什么叫做一个合格的护花使者。让他领路,太不现实,让他收队,更是不成气候,他就围着他的蓉蓉转。我想,道黑的女朋友应该是很幸福的,你瞧蓉蓉脸上的笑容就知道了。江枫,黝黑的脸,可以看出也是一个老江湖了。这一路,江枫基本上都和赵赵美女走在一块,他两其实算得上真正的收队,属于那种走起路来不慌不忙,处处留影的人。某晚,隔着帐篷,这两人还在交流一路上的照片。只听见江枫在抱怨:“赵赵,你拍的咋都是斜的?”赵赵答曰这其实是一种拍摄手法。花花,原名青瓷花,四川美女,长得很妖精。和花花的初次交流是在夏特乡派出所外边。那会才知道她走遍了川西的所有线路,刚从狼C回来那会,全身都浮肿,刚消肿就来了夏特。我心想这女子咋这么厉害,看样子不像啊。不知道听谁说花花的女儿1岁,以至于我一直以为她是一个1岁孩子的母亲,各回各家后交流才知道事情真相。菲尔姐,刚上车那会便塞给我一个鸡腿和两包静尘姐带给我的干果和牛肉干,一路上,对我们照顾的无微不至,每天晚上都吃到了可口的饭菜,手艺绝对超过五星级酒店的大厨。菲儿姐这一路走的很辛苦,背着一个岩石搬坚硬的背包,到了营地还要生活做饭,甚至回到乌鲁木齐,还给我们包了很多盘酱牛肉包子……菲儿姐,辛苦了!花花和菲儿姐的合影!KK,在哈密的云南人,不明白“KK”是何含义。调侃高手,一路上,大部分人都被他调侃过,部分人还被她调戏过,连老孤、农夫也不例外,尤其是花花,从乌鲁木齐开始被调侃,一直到了昭苏,过了夏特,到了阿克苏,回到乌鲁木齐,仍然是KK的重点调侃对象,可谓至交。追究KK调侃功夫为何这么高深,他自曝大学时曾被辅导员调侃过,青出于蓝而胜于蓝,于是就有了现在的KK。听说KK走乌孙古道过冰河时掉了进去,心灵受到了严重的创伤,所谓“一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳”,在夏特过冰河时,看他一手抓着绳子,一手挽着花花的样子,还有那惊恐的眼神,就知道伤得不轻。嘿嘿,名字很怪,我第一时间就想到了嘿咻!也是行走在第一梯队的强人。喜欢脱个精光拍裸照。我观察了,肚子上其实肥肉不少,但总体讲,肌肉厚度还是盖过了肥肉厚度。酒量一流,和老孤、KK等有的一拼,不像我,三杯下肚就找不着北了。路很好走,大伙走得甚至都有点散漫。其实我们是一支严格听从领队指挥的队伍,这在过冰河那天得到了充分的体现。老孤自己也对我们的纪律性大肆称赞。全程下来,我没见他用杖尖戳过人,可见我们有多听话。也没办法,夏特这样的路,不乖不行。我是看出来了,我的这些队友都是走路的料,吭哧吭哧走路都不怎么爱拍照。远处的雪山,近处的牧场,行走的队友,很和谐啊!和龙四交流了一下,小家伙来自广东,搞得是摄影职业,那会说的是走完夏特要到尼雅遗址,然后从敦煌到甘南,再到尼泊尔晃荡一个月。我表示羡慕,他表示付出了很大的代价。可能这一圈下来,要破产了吧,所以他后来改去昆仑山找玉石了。云越来越厚,眼看快要下雨了,加快脚步赶往营地。到达营地的时候,已经飘起了雨,淅淅沥沥的。在树下找了块平地,赶紧搭起帐篷。我带的是单人帐,比较轻,主要还是习惯一个人睡,再则也没有美女愿意与我混帐。晒晒刚买不久的帐篷,之前在太白用了一次,感觉一般般,比较中庸。早早地钻进帐篷,等待后面的队友。帐篷空间比较狭小,里面放下一个80L的包后,腿就无法完全伸直。这个时候,我才打开老孤给我的那个路餐袋子,看看里面究竟有啥。馕、卤蛋、咸菜、烤肠……这样的馕,从来没吃过,感觉很有负担。事实证明,我的确不擅长吃囊,走完夏特后,我居然还有3个馕没吃。倒是那包坚果和牛肉干,成了我的最爱。我们的营地([]
几个月前来到驴友论坛,此地高人辈出,令人惊叹不已。看帖看久了也想贡献一点自己的经验,但我没有上山下海的体力与毅力,我的工作也不允许请太长的假,要说户外活动,实在没有拿得出手的东西,想了又想,只有2007年去新西兰的自助旅游还值得一看,于是就整理一下,发了上来。事先声明,我是台湾人,我知道有很多事物在两岸有不同称呼,例如我去的New ZEALand这个国家,你们称为新西兰,我们则称为纽西兰。入境随俗,我会尽量用你们的说法,但是这篇游记内容繁多,我不可能事事求证。如果你们觉得有些句子怪怪的,那就是台湾习惯的说法,也许我疏忽了没有改正,或者我不知道你们会怎么说,请见谅。新西兰由两个大岛组成,也就是北岛和南岛。这是我和老婆在2007年春节去新西兰北岛自助旅游半个月的游记,只去群岛湾(Bay of Islands,北岛着名景点)和奥克兰(Auckland,新西兰最大城市)两个地点,游记大纲如下。2月18日:高空云层、奥克兰、派希亚的晚餐2月19日:派希亚的清晨、我们住的汽车旅馆、熟悉环境、罗素小镇、晚餐2月20日:哈鲁鲁瀑布、到处闲逛、糖船餐厅2月21日:出发之前、海湾巡航、返回派希亚、晚餐2月22日:海豚发现之旅、再访乌鲁普卡普卡岛、水下风光、归途、再访糖船2月23日:清晨出发、公路休息站、九十哩海滩、沙丘滑行、瑞因格岬角、午餐和点心、巨木森林、晚餐和姜汁汽水2月24日:出发之前、海滨步道、欧普瓦的周末市集、森林步道、预约的晚餐2月25日:被放鸽子的高空跳伞2月26日:三访乌鲁普卡普卡岛、晚餐2月27日:清晨的日出、空中俯瞰群岛湾2月28日:出发之前、奥克兰的旅馆、外出逛街、亚伯特公园、夜景3月1日:晨景、奥克兰大学、失望的玫瑰花园、奥克兰公园3月2日:迪芬港一日游、晚餐、奥克兰灯节3月3日:到处走走、海事博物馆、墨西哥晚餐、尾声 2月18日高空云层出发时还是冬季,台北总是灰天暗地,凄风苦雨,感觉很郁闷。到纽西兰就不一样了,二月是当地天气最好的月份,清晨在飞机上醒来,就看到一望无际的蓝天白云,预报一个美好的假期。照片上奇怪的七彩颜色是偏光镜造成的,不知为何,在高空就会这样。整个行程我都把偏光镜装在镜头上,懒得拿下来了。2月18日奥克兰一下飞机就坐巴士到市中心的巴士站,离出发还有一段时间,就在附近逛一逛。回复 roray 的帖子谢啦!您是第一个回复的码头边的渡船大楼(Ferry Building)。 码头的一角 刚离开码头的渡船。这一家Fullers在奥克兰和群岛湾都有据点,经营渡船和当地旅游业务,我们这一次旅游都搭乘他们的渡船,也参加了他们的三个旅**程。(旅.游.行.程.当中的游.行.被河蟹了 )码头旁的街景,周日的下午,街道颇为冷清。 2月18日 派希亚的晚餐坐了十小时的飞机到奥克兰,又坐了四小时的巴士才到群岛湾(Bay of Islands)的门户小镇派希亚(Paihia),抵达时已经是晚上七点,终于到了,好累啊。 我们在派希亚的住宿地点是停泊点汽车旅馆(Anchorage Motel)。旅馆就在海边,沿海的路上有一整排餐厅。第一天的晚餐选择了隔壁的六号餐馆(Cafe No. 6)。六号餐馆和海滩只隔着一条马路,这一带的餐厅有很多座位设在户外,我老婆正在看菜单。 绿唇胎贝(green lip mussel),用白葡萄酒煮,加大蒜、西洋芹(parsley)、橄榄油、柠檬汁,新鲜又美味。 这是spreads & dips,spread是用来涂抹面包的酱,dip是用面包沾来吃的酱。盘子左边有四个小格,分盛四种酱料。黑色是陈年义大利醋,黄色是特纯橄榄油(extra virgin olive oil),白色是黄瓜优格酱,橘色是兼具咸酸甜味的奇怪果酱,还有面包、黑橄榄、生菜叶,随个人喜好自由搭配。典型的生菜沙拉。 2月19日 派希亚的清晨群岛湾是纽西兰的旅游重镇,但是本身的人口不多,这一带的小镇都是几千人的规模,派希亚也不例外。这个海边小屋就在我们的旅馆对面,出租帆船、小艇、自行车等运动器材。旅馆前的海边道路。这里的房屋旁边都有宽广的草坪和大树,令人羡慕。看下面的房屋就知道这棵树有多高,如果在圣诞节来个张灯结彩,会是非常壮观的圣诞树,不知道他们会不会这样做。 这里的房屋不是整片都一个样,而是各有特色小小油罐车,给直升机加油用的 从旅馆走十几分钟就到了码头,在码头边的一家咖啡屋吃早餐。柠檬酸乳酪蛋糕,烤得太干了,不好。([]
原计划8月20号走狼塔C,之后的9月骑新藏线。无奈计划赶不上变化,等确定下来成行已是9月下旬了。之前上论坛找狼塔,新藏线的游记功略,找出各个游记功略的重点,以及帖子里容易走错的地方加以整理学习。前人的成功和失误也是能顺利完成此次穿越的保障,在此感谢前人们的辛苦付出。自助对于每个户外人来说是基本的要求,不管是跟团走还是个人走,功略的制订和学习是必须的。能遇见同行的人就一起走,那也是缘份,遇不见就一个人走。对照功略和目的地对自己做个全面客观的评估,能不能去自己心里要有底儿。对于或许出现的困难怎么去解决,要做到心中有数。此次出行不会赋予自己挑战自然,挑战自我的想法,对于自然我始终心存敬畏,自然不是人能挑战的,在自然面前你始终是那么的渺小。挑战自我,不如背上一袋大米找个楼梯上上下下,起码省钱省事了,于我来说出行就是一次让自己心情放松愉悦的过程。近来户外屡屡出事,不管是团队还是个人出行,安全始终是第一位的,生命只有一次,为了家人为了自己,祝愿所有行走在路上的朋友们,行再远,安到家。 对有朋友关心的几个问,简单回复如下: 导航:无GPS,无等高线地图。有的话我会带的,毕竟GPS能增加行程的安全和心理上的塌实感。马道:狼塔马道基本上清晰,遇有多条马道时,只要认准了大方向就没问,在确定不准的情况下,找找细节,驴友们走过的马道多少都会有烟头,糖纸之类的痕迹,再就是登山仗扎在地上的小孔,这个是最准确的。冰河:冰河没有夏季水大,但温度应该冷了不少。个人觉得不算太凉,或许跟自己坚持冬天冷水洗澡有关。过冰河,我的体会是步伐不能大,抬起的脚要贴着河底前滑踩稳后,另外一只脚再依此而行,登山仗不能在水里往前挪动,要提离水面后再插下去。水流湍急处一根登山仗也或许能把你的身体给带倒在冰河里。难点:整个行程下来个人感觉没有难点。翻越达坂时体力不太好的朋友或许会觉得有些恼火。客观的说有两处地方通过要注意,一处是沿台普希克马河逆流而上过老虎口后那段半山腰的羊肠小道,落脚点小,路面倾斜。此段路有处塌方的地方不好走,感觉通过困难的朋友,最好提前在塌方处的右手往上有道绕过去为好,这一点前人的功略里都有提到过。另外一处是快到库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂顶部有段路岩石风化严重,坡度很陡,加之脚下都是细小的碎石容易打滑,如团队攀爬时一定要照顾下体力相对弱些的队友。动物:大家最关心的是狼,没有看到狼,途中扎营两晚上有动物在帐篷外活动,风吹帐篷的动静和动物摩擦帐篷的动静我还是能分辨的。拿头灯照射没有看到动物,此地除了狼还有比狼多的旱獭。装备:派格80升背包,K2三人玻璃钢杆帐篷,沉重。四孔棉睡袋,保暖效果不好,最好带羽绒睡袋,保暖重量又轻。以上三件物品都已经使用了十多年该换了。绳子30米,个人出行必带的。包里常备矿泉水两瓶,压缩饼干一包,这两样穿越时基本上不动用,都是以防无水无粮时救急用的,所以都算在装备里,个人认为这是个好习惯。方便固体燃料一包,每块可做250克米饭,没有气罐时做饭或阴雨潮湿时助燃篝火都成。在呼图壁大自在店里买蓝气罐2个,走狼塔用了1个。气罐:朋友问早晚都吃热饭情况下如何做到只用了一罐气?全程直接饮用河水,不烧水用气就相对少些。早晚都是热粥,方法是水和大米一起放锅里,打开火等开锅了就关气闷着,这时候该忙什么就忙什么。稍后加一把麦片再打开火,再次开锅后稍等片刻就关气,再闷一会就可以吃到熟透的热饭了。在没有确定安全出山前,尽量节约物资的消耗。衣服:带抓绒的冲锋衣,迷彩作训服一套,保暖内衣是为了骑行准备的,在狼塔因睡袋不给力提前用了。还有厚的手套等等,也是为骑行准备。袜子两双。军胶过河用。食物:大米二,三斤左右,免煮麦片一包。普通火腿肠8根。牛肉两包每包200克,狼塔只吃了一包。老干妈辣酱一瓶,第一天拔营遗忘在营地了。咸菜7包,葡萄糖粉一包,大个的厚馕一个,够我每天中午的午餐了。药品:维C银翘片,速效伤风胶囊配着阿莫西林预防医治感冒便宜实惠有疗效。黄连素医治拉肚子效果不错。善存维生素每天一粒可总是忘吃。其他是创可贴若干。杂务:电池3板。电动剃须刀,牙刷牙膏,香烟一条。做好防晒措施,防晒霜就别带了,丛林帽可以有效预防日晒,护肤品在山里就放弃吧,最好的护肤就是清水洗脸,面部的油脂就是最好的防护品。外话:有感于一路上遇见N个善良好心的人们,想对朋友们说:出行在外,想得到真诚善意,得到尊重,那就先回馈给对方以真诚的善意和尊重吧,你能去尊重对方,对方才会有可能的来尊重你,帮助你。尊重大多时候都是相互的,哪怕是你的尊重和礼貌没有得到对方的回应,一直下去总会能遇见尊重你的好人,毕竟这个社会上还是好人多。9月19号 昨晚上发现10多年的登山鞋底子开胶,上午去郑州探索者户外买了双鞋子,又拿了件凯乐石的冲锋衣。晚上8:45的火车竟然晚点到0:00才到,坐这班列车的大多都是去新疆采棉花的,提前四天买票只有K175这趟车还有唯一的一张座票。火车上拥挤程度丝毫不亚于春运,车出郑州站不到20分钟又临时停车,一停就是1个多小时,后来得知是三门峡附近山体塌方,双线变单线,受其影响经过那段线路的列车都晚点。拥挤的车厢不亚于春运。 9月22号乌鲁木齐----白杨沟煤矿扎营本该昨天中午1:30到乌鲁木齐的列车,今早5点才到了乌鲁木齐,晚点了近15个小时。打车10元到红山百盛找青年人旅舍,遇见两驴友告之无床位,旁边的麦田也无床位。他们刚从狼塔出来,简单的问了一下狼塔的情况后,又一起打车回火车站存包。9点去看望了二姨,走时拿的一个加厚的馕解决了我后来几天狼塔的午餐问。中午1:30坐上了去呼图壁的班车,车费17元。3点多到达呼图壁,打车来回10元到了狼塔户外大自在的店里买了两个兰气罐40元。4:40分坐上了到白杨沟煤矿的班车,票价15元。7:30左右到了白杨沟煤矿,人多的话包车可以一直往里走,能节省不少时间和体力。下车上包经过煤矿往里走,上一小坡经过几户人家后开始下起雨来,新疆的秋季天黑的要比夏季早,加之天阴下雨到8点多天已经黑了起来,在道路边找个宽敞点的地方就地扎营。山里的夜晚还是冷,但相比之后的狼塔路上,这一晚是最暖和的了。 9月23号白杨沟煤矿----白杨沟扎营(营地海拔大约2700米)定的闹铃是6点的,可外面依然黑着,又定了7点,还是黑,又7:30,又8点,早餐依旧是一把大米煮麦片, 9点起营出发。顺着昨天来时大路走,在路边一个大的油罐旁边开始下到白杨沟河谷,而大路一直在此往左侧向上盘升,后来知道顺着这条大路可以坐车一直到接近白杨沟达坂的地方。继续前行经过了志性的蛤蟆石,过桥前一直在白杨沟河的左侧行走,在经过一个离水边很近的地方,两包挂面从手里的袋子漏出掉在了河里。过桥之后行走在白杨沟河的右岸,大概是中午1点到了一个哈萨的帐篷。小伙子的母亲沏了碗奶给我喝,醇醇的奶香让人难以忘记。告别了哈萨,沿右侧斜上坡继续前行,下坡后沿白杨河河谷右侧行走,午餐在一处河滩相对比较开阔地解决,馕加水。一路上经过多个铁丝围起来的牧场,有几处房子但没有见到人,夏天此处的风景一定很美。走不远发现在白杨河的对岸出现了一条机耕路,网上提到过有条路往里修了10公里,应该是这条路了。之后机耕路跟我走的马道汇合成了一条路,沿着这样的路行走很是乏味,自然的痕迹被破坏了,路的出现让心情也受了影响。下午大概5点左右,遇见石河子户外的行云流水和他的朋友们,他们十一要来走狼塔,提前来看下地形,临走行云流水拿了水给我。告别行云流水,下到河谷沿河往上走去,7:40选择一块平整靠近水边的地方下包准备扎营。远远的看见白杨沟达坂方向下来几个驴友,是拓石户外的领队五道黑带的队伍反穿过来的。告别后扎营做饭,空旷的山谷里除了水声风声,还有不远的山上碎石不时滑落的声音。今天从营地开始的机耕路下到白杨沟河谷,过桥之前一直是沿河左侧马道行走,过了桥后就是一直沿河的右侧马道走了。看功略很多队伍这段路上过了几次河,那是没有找到马道,只要认准了马道,全程是可以不用过河的,有些马道需要你多绕一些路罢了。因为新鞋没有时间磨合,又是重装徒步,脚疼的厉害。临坐火车前一晚上才发现老鞋底开胶,第二天买了新鞋没时间磨合只能这样了。这个桥之前一直是沿白杨沟河的左岸行进,过了这个桥后一直到白杨沟营地都是在右侧马道行进。按照这样走第一天是完全不用过河的。很多朋友第一天过河,应该是某些地段没有找到马道。这是见到哈萨人家之前的一段横切。热情的哈萨,浓浓奶香的味道让人怀念。过了这个弯就是开阔地,看着远处的雪山,喝着冰河水啃着馕,心情是舒畅的。宿营地 9月24号白杨沟----白杨沟达坂(3852米)----马鞍营地(2900米)想着离达坂近,今天起的晚了一些。昨夜风大,晚上睡觉时穿了保暖内衣。白杨沟达坂到马鞍营地之间无水源,尽量多带些水。拔营后离开河谷还是走右侧半山腰的马道,一直到河谷几乎见不到水的地方,河谷中间有一个大的碎石小山包,别去了碎石山包的左侧,那里有个冰达坂是到不了白杨沟达坂的。脚和新鞋磨合时间短还是疼的厉害,12点多在达坂底下午餐,馕加一根香肠。初看白杨沟达坂,觉得不是很高,上达坂顶前的石头坡是坡连坡,上升一个紧接着又是一个石头坡等着你,后面几个达坂除了库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂是碎石坡,其他几个达坂大多都是如此。沿途马道之字型很清晰,右侧山底一条大的冰川一直延伸到山顶。中途看到山左侧有种大鸟笨笨的,体态如鸭子,还能飞起来,叫声很是特别。后来在出山时,搭的油罐车司机告诉我说那叫雪鸡,是很好的补品药材,要是抓了被发现是要判刑的。天空开始飘起了雪花,5点左右到达白杨沟达坂顶部,白杨沟达坂海拔3844米。顶部有几个玛尼堆,但也有说是牧民的导航柱。山顶风很大,远处是河源峰,天气不好不是很清晰。哈萨克称河源峰为狼塔,意即群狼守护的山峰。往山下走的路坡度相对陡些,都是碎石面,有时踩一脚能滑出老远。陡坡下完经过一处相对平缓些的草地。沿马道往右手高处走,上了一段小坡后就到了一个小垭口,马鞍营地就在下方了。提醒一下,下垭口不多远的这段路,过的时间要警惕北山羊。在垭口上看到右侧山上有北山羊,我刚下垭口不远,就听到北山羊站的那个地方开始有石头滚落的声音,我随即停止前行,一会儿就看到一些碗大的碎石滚落下来正好经过要走的马道,这滚落下来的应该是被北山羊踩塌的碎石了。风大雪还在飘,天阴也黑的早,下到马鞍营地天已经黑了,就地扎营。马鞍营地是一块不大的营地,就是牛粪多了些。刚把帐篷扎好,肚子就不争气的闹了起来,或许是猛一下喝了山水不服水土的缘故。吃了两片黄连素,如是这样一晚上又起夜两次,把我给折腾的。过后还是依然喝的没有煮过的冰河水,但胃已经适应了,再没有闹腾过。马鞍营地离水源地有些远,如团队穿越的话尽量往左手马道下去到低点的小河沟扎营,离水源近这样做饭也方便些。河谷的尽头就是白杨沟达坂的入口一直沿河谷马道右侧前行.图片左侧就是碎石小山包.不要走碎石小山包的左侧,那里的沟口上去不是白杨沟达坂.前行至白杨沟达坂下面,冰舌左侧有清晰的马道. 狼塔之行真正的开始了.画面最左侧有马道,不要往照片右处走了.翻越白杨沟达坂途中.马上就要上达坂顶部.达坂顶部.远处的河源峰,天气不好看不清楚.达坂顶部的玛尼堆,也有说是哈萨用来导航的志,个人更倾向于导航的作用.山里放牧的都是哈萨,不应该有藏传佛教的礼仪,想必是之前的驴友们把它定义成玛尼堆了.达坂上自拍.此处下山.感谢楼上朋友们的支持,不一一回复了。。TO:行云流水,又见面了,一瓶水也可暖人心,业余未曾忘记。有朋友的关心是温暖的,出狼塔前你们对我的挂念,到后来化做了我对你们出狼塔前的挂念。这样的感觉满好的。 9月25号马鞍营地----台普希克马河五星营地昨晚上起夜两次办大事,睡的不好。定7:30的闹铃,朦朦胧胧的不在状态,继续睡。起来已是11点了,煮了米饭加麦片吃完精神好了很多。马鞍营地左右都有马道,正确的马道是在左侧,左侧要下去一点才能看到清晰马道,右侧马道到是很明显,如果营地选择在马鞍的话,右侧马道下去不远的一个陡坡就可接岩缝流出的水做饭。新鞋的磨合期忒短,脚疼的厉害,随把过河用的军胶换上,之后的几天一直穿着这双军胶走出了狼塔,直到后来骑车走新藏线因天气原因返回喀什后,为了给车子后货架减负才把这双军胶给放弃了。中午12点多拔营出发,沿左侧马道下去经过一个小河沟,沟两边附近都有扎营的痕迹。沿着小河沟的左侧马道走个小上坡,旁边是一块平整些的地方,扎营也是不错,但还是离水源远些。过了小上坡就开始往下走,一直到谷底就是台普希克马河的一个支流。过河前行不远在水边有处平坦的营地,有石头垒起的灶台,想必是牧民的一个宿营点,地上还有被丢弃的气罐。此季节的冰河没有夏季的水大,但温度比夏季应该是又低了不少。看功略上说夏季过冰河也是寒冷刺骨,个人觉得水温还成,不算太凉,或许跟自己坚持冬天冷水洗澡有关。经过一处上坡后开始在水流右侧的马道上前行,间断的树下,灌木丛中,上坡下坡中行走,行不远过河左岸沿马道山腰行走,翻过一个小垭口下行,继续前行会看到一座木桥,过了桥不远处就要往右侧上栈道了。马道有岔口,有的队伍在此会错过栈道而顺河谷下到两河交汇处,两河交汇处其实就是台普希克马河的支流和主河的交汇处,在两河交汇处往右(台普希克马河主河道)逆流而上也能到达台普希克马河河边的五星营地,水大时不好通过。回来后看帖子,有队伍是错过栈道口走的河谷到两河交汇处,或许因为水大而后返回又走栈道的。栈道是人工在峭壁上开凿出来的,要注意自己的背包,不要为了照相看景侧身而忘记自己是背着包呢。走路不看景,看景不走路,这是爬山中的原则,特别是在一些相对有些难度有些危险的地方更是要如此。过栈道后要爬升一个上坡,经过坡顶的小垭口,就可以看到台普希克马河的主河道了,五星营地就在你眼皮底下的树林里。下山的路有些湿滑落脚点也不是很宽,要注意安全。之后沿着山腰一路下行,下午5点钟到了谷底台普希克马河边的五星营地。在绿树的掩映下,宽敞平坦又离水源这样的近,确实是个好营地,决定在此扎营。营地到处都是驴子的痕迹,残余的篝火,用完的气罐,在一棵树叉上还绑了一个塑料袋子,里面是几包咸菜。不管是吃不了还是为了减负,能把东西细心保存留给后面的人,勘称好人。咸菜我包里还有,原封不动的又把塑料袋子系回了树叉上。本想着生堆篝火,可晚上风太大了,无奈还是钻进了帐篷开火做饭。马鞍营地,牛粪不少。左侧往下走就能看到马道了。下到沟里就能看到台普希克马河的一个支流,要开始狼塔的过冰河了。衣服还在,里边的没了。继续下行到谷里。高处的山峰还是很雄伟的。 下到河谷看到这座桥,过了桥有段栈道。狼塔的栈道还是满宽的,客观说只要不恐高的话,很容易通过的。要注意自己的背包,不要为了照相看景侧身而忘记自己是背着包呢。走路不看景,看景不走路,这是爬山中的原则。台普希克马河谷的五星营地。夏天的话这里扎营风景一定很美。 9月26号台普希克马河五星营地----库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂下面平缓地(2991米)8点钟起床天还是黑的,收拾完毕后已经9点多了,沿台普希克马河逆流而上,没有多久就要过桥到河左岸行走。沿途不时可以看到两岸山上黄羊的影子,这些蝎灵用灵巧的姿态演绎着岩壁芭蕾,让人很是羡慕。也开始看到羊的头骨和一些散乱的骨架,盯着这些东西看多了,心里也会毛毛的。河滩上行走,只要掌握好大方向就好办,至于马道,能看到的或许有好几条,按大方向走,哪条合适就走哪条,大方向选择好了就差不到哪里了。大概12点在看到4桥的山腰上吃的午餐,馕和半根香肠。今天大部分是在台普希克马河谷里行走,时而左岸,时而右岸。期间要来回的涉水而过。对于过冰河,我的体会是步伐不能大,抬起的脚要贴着河底前滑踩稳后,另外一只脚再依此而行,登山仗不能在水里往前挪动,要提离水面后再插下去。水流湍急处别看小小的一根登山仗也或许能把你的身体给带倒在冰河里。在河谷里行走不用太刻意去分辨哪些马道是对的,选择你认为好走的路就成,河谷里的马道只要不是出河谷的,都是殊途同归。过老虎口那块要注意,不要错过了上山栈道的路口,上山栈道前的马道是分岔的,左手那条是下河谷,直行往上爬升是上栈道的。过了栈道后那段半山腰的土路都是羊肠小道,落脚点小,路面还是倾斜的,此段路有处塌方的地方不好走。感觉通过困难的朋友,最好提前在塌方处的右手往上绕过去为好,这一点前人的功略里都有提到过。安全始终是第一的,户外行走免不了会遇见一些危险的地方,在危险地段给自己来个评估,衡量一下自己能否通过,没有把握就不要去。否则过后别人顶多说句这人真牛,可真要因危险受伤的话,那在别人嘴里或许就成了傻子了。过此段路个人体会看准踩稳快速通过相对要容易些,一步一个脚印稳稳的反而会消耗体力增加通过的难度,当然这只是个人感觉,不见得适合所有朋友。之后的路还是顺着台普希克马河逆流而上,时而栈道,时而过河。其间在河左侧的有段栈道塌方了,过的时间要注意头顶上,以防有碎石落下伤及安全。当眼前视野开阔,看到远处的河源峰时,离库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂的入口处也不远了。站在台普希克马河河谷出口能看到一条马道在半山腰通向库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂的入口处,建议要么直接下到河谷中走,要么走左侧马道行进到半途中看到有下到河谷的分叉小马道时,及时下去走小马道。如果一直沿着左侧半山腰的马道行进时,大概五分之四距离时,有处新的小塌方把马道给冲断了。到库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂的沟口入口处,时间是1:50分。此处也是团队扎营的好地方,平坦离水源也近,遥看河源峰那是相当的清晰。休息后往左侧经过沟口的志性小树往上行,沟口有小河流出。进沟口前有马道的痕迹沿着台普希克马河的左侧一直往河源峰的方向延伸,不用去管它。你只要记得那棵小树往沟里走就行了。回来后看有朋友的游记就是在这个地方走错了,没有经过小树进沟,而是沿着那个马道在台普希克马河谷直向河源峰方向走,第二天又返回了。进入沟口往上行,山谷一下子变的很窄,满沟都是大大小小的乱石,。行之半途,见一烧垃圾的痕迹,旁边是一个崭新的眼镜盒子,还有一块超市卖的那种烟盒般大小的压缩饼干,看着眼馋却吃不到嘴里,很显然压缩饼干是跟垃圾一块给烧了,给养拿不走可以留给后面的人嘛。走出这段乱石沟后豁然开朗,右侧是一草地平台,此处有扎营痕迹。除了用完的气罐竟然在一小坑里发现一帐篷的外帐,搞不懂难道是把外帐给遗忘了?到达此处是下午4点。在厚厚的草地上躺着很是安逸,随即下包扎营。此处离水源稍远,要下到沟里才有水。明天爬库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂,为了节省明早的时间,下沟把水壶灌满,又灌了一大塑料袋的水明早用,回到营地把塑料袋的水放在帐篷旁边一杏里,第二天早上用时都已经结成冰块儿了。前人功略上说明天就可以见到哈萨牧民了,想着热腾腾的羊肉,我笑了。睡至半夜被惊醒,脚部位置有动物隔着帐篷在来回拱,打开头灯,拿起饭盒敲了几下,后又打开帐篷拿头灯照射,空无一物,这地方旱獭也多,因没看到不能确定是狼还是旱獭,躺下继续睡觉,早上起来内帐上都结冰茬了。这个季节水比夏天小。独木桥不好过,可以往上游走,遇见合适的地方过河,殊途同归。曾经也是条生命。遥看四桥。前方就是草台营地,库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂的入口处,也是扎营的好地方。远处的河源峰。拉近了看。 库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂的入口处,志是沟口的这棵孤树,左拐进沟。绕过孤树进沟,走完这条沟的右手有一平缓的草台,扎营。 9月27号库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂下方营地---库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂(3556米)---高山牧场牧民点(2576米)昨夜敲饭盒的插曲休息的不是很好,虽然扎营在厚厚的草甸上,可晚上依然寒冷,6点钟坐起在帐篷里活动一下,去去寒气复又睡去。早上打开帐篷拿塑料袋里的水发现已经结成了冰块,收帐时帐篷哗哗直响,抖落的都是冰茬。9:30出发,沿着马道缓缓上行在大草坡上,库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂就是个碎石坡,不象其他达坂上的石头踩下去稳稳的。快到达坂顶部有段路岩石风化严重,坡度陡,脚下都是细小的碎石容易打滑,如团队攀爬时一定要照顾一下体力相对弱些的队友。11:50到达库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂顶部,下山的路依然是落差上千米的碎石路加草坡,狼塔的每个达坂下来几乎都是如此。之后顺着一个小溪流往下走,12:30途中午餐,馕加半根香肠。2:10分到达三岔峡谷而特兰塔沟的三角地带,对岸的河滩上长满了树,面前的这条河是呼图壁河的一条支流,这条支流来源于从兰特开曾冰川和蒙格特开曾冰川融化的雪水所汇成。到此后往右手逆流而上,看功略上有的团队在此处直接过冰河,附近有扎营的痕迹,行进不远过河到左岸,之后反复几次过河。再往前行不远就是一个三岔口,也就是有些功略上提到的左侧第一个沟口,也有溪流流出,不要拐进去,继续过河朝着你面前靠右那片树林前进,正确的沟口还要往前行,过了这个树林营地至第二个沟口才是正确的。经过的这片树林营地风景绝佳,要是夏季的话会更加的漂亮,要不是惦记着哈萨的羊肉,这地方不扎营真的有点亏了。走在河水的右侧继续前行不远就到了前面提到的第二个沟口,左拐进入。进沟过河后右侧要翻过一个10几米的小山包,之后就是下到河滩里走,河滩里不时发现散落的羊头骨,此处也算是狼餐厅。走完这段河滩远远看到左侧高山牧场上有一牧民的房子,沿着河道左侧的马道向前不远,在一小山包上看到了牧民的小帐篷和一个石头圈起的没有塑料棚遮盖的房子,旁边是一大片被羊粪盖着不长草的地方。高兴随之被失望所代替,小帐篷里是空空的,想必是今年冷的早,牧民已经转场了,到达此地时间5点。石头屋旁并排着几双军胶,应该也是为了减负留下的。晚上没有扎帐,在牧民的小帐篷里用塑料布挡着做门住了一宿。睡梦中被塑料布连续的沙沙声惊醒,不是风吹帐篷那种响,大喊一声又拿起饭盒敲了几下,沙沙声随即停止。掀开塑料布拿头灯照了一下什么都没看到,点了一根烟抽完又躺下再睡。整个狼塔途中扎营就这两晚上有异动,因没有看到什么,也不能确定就一定是狼,此地除了狼还有比狼多的多的旱獭,一路上不少的旱獭洞穴想必去过的朋友都是有印象的。拔营后沿着草坡马道盘升,画面中间凹进去那点就是库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂顶部。走完了草坡就到了库勒阿特腾阿苏达坂的碎石坡前。 回望。狼餐厅。仿佛让人想到了狼群围猎的场景。山坡上的牧民点。右侧的沟是明天早上要走的路线。牧民都已经转场,吃不到羊肉了。留下的小帐篷就是我今晚的行宫。用塑料布做门。晚上小动物就是在左下角那位置往里拱。 9月28号牧民点---蒙格特开曾达坂(3927米)---哈尔嘎特开尔茨达坂(3771米)---近两河交汇处--(2837米)早10点出发,沿牧民点下方的马道前行,别走到河道右侧了,河道右侧也有马道。走完草坡地过一小沟就到了两个峡谷交汇处的三岔口,往左是正确的路线,提前把水都灌满,蒙格特开曾达坂下方的一处水源已经成死水很脏了。之后一路拔高向上,和之前的白杨沟达坂一样,是不停的上升,翻过乱石坡就到了相对平坦一些的又一个三岔口,这个位置是看不到蒙格特开曾雪达坂的。正确的路线还是沿着左手方向的沟口沿马道上行就到了蒙格特开曾雪达坂,右边的沟口也有马道,但那是到兰特开曾达坂的。三岔口处有一处不干净的水源,下背包午餐,旁边丢弃着气罐,防潮垫等等。沿左手马道上行至蒙格特开曾雪达坂,雪达坂表面是松软的,怎么上按个人的喜好就成了。3:40登上蒙格特开曾雪达坂,山顶照样是风大寒冷。下达坂不久在右侧半山腰有条马道,横切过去就是哈尔嘎特开尔茨达坂,到达哈尔嘎特开尔茨达坂5:40。下达坂就顺着大沟往下走吧,河道以及右侧山腰的马道都可以走,下山晚的团队可以在河谷或右侧山腰找个相对平整些的地方扎营了。在一处团队扎营的地方捡到一袋玉米糁,一小包味全麦片,一小袋肯德基的麻辣料,外加剩余不多快要见底儿的一袋雀巢奶粉,对于那些朋友们是减负,对于我却是收获了。7:30扎营在了河道跟右侧一小沟流下的小溪流处平缓宽敞些的地方,此地离两河交汇处已经很近了,第二天拔营到两河交汇处也就是看见矿车的地方十多分钟的路程。晚餐煮的玉米糁撒了麻辣料进去,一锅有味道的麻辣玉米糁让我吃的满头大汗,很是爽口。功略上看最后一天的穿越很轻松了,哈尔哈提达坂也是狼塔最容易翻越的达坂,明天的计划是经过两河交汇处沿玛纳斯河逆流而上,翻过达坂后搭车去巴伦台。 拔营前再来一张。蒙格特开曾雪达坂马上到达坂顶,回往。影子登上蒙格特开曾达坂顶部。站在雪达坂顶部回望。下达坂不久在右侧半山腰有条马道,横切过去就是哈尔嘎特开尔茨达坂。哈尔嘎特开尔茨达坂顶部的玛尼堆。 9月29号近两河交汇处----和静县昨晚的风是最大的一晚,拿背包压帐篷中上风口的地方,如此这样帐篷还是被吹的摇晃,早上起来打的地钉都弯了。想着今天就要出狼塔,心情也格外的轻松,早餐玉米糁大米麦片粥,又把昨天路上捡的雀巢奶粉倒进去,能量十足。拨营出发沿河道前行,没走多远恍惚中看到河谷尽头一辆翻斗车一闪而过,初看还以为是自己眼花了,这地方不应该出现这玩意,随即加快脚步看个究竟。到了谷口也就是两河交汇处又是一辆翻斗车在面前驶过,面前是一条简易公路,两河交汇处也被工人们人为的改道成了一个沟渠在靠近山体处奔流而下。呆呆看着这一切,如同睡梦中被惊醒后,再睡已经无法再继续入梦一样,心中顿感索然无味。来狼塔走的就是这份原始,猛然间现代的痕迹映入眼敛,不应有的景象冲进视野,那种落差感,失落感瞬间就涌了出来,绕过工地再走下去还有什么意思?跨过小河决定不再走下去了,搭车出山,翻越最后一个达坂哈尔哈提达坂于我来说不是难事,关键是心情被破坏了,现在回想起见到矿车那一刻失望的心情还历历在目。趟过小河来到工地,负责人张经理说送给养的车昨天才上来,再下去的话是三天以后了。老张告诉我下行5公里左右在一三岔路口等车,或许能搭上其他矿下山的车。临走让拿鸡蛋,想着要下山了就谢绝了老张的好意。往三岔口走的路上要涉水4,5次,在另一矿点好心司机硬是从车上扔下一包方便面给我,挺感动的。到了三岔口继续往下走,大概2点左右,拐过一个小弯搭上一小型油罐车。司机退伍后跟老乡来这里开车,遇见好人了压根就没提钱的事,又吃了人家一个早上带出来的油馕。司机说这车只到矿区大门,拉油后就返回矿区了,可以帮我给送油的中石油司机说说带我下山。到金矿大门两油车倒罐后,司机跟他的小表亲帮忙说话,大油罐车司机同意搭车,但只能送我到218国道后让我搭别的车走,他担心单位上查车,特种车辆规定除司机外只能坐一个押运员。上车后敬烟唠嗑是必须的,车到了218国道,司机没提下车的事,到了巴仑台,还没提下车的事。就这样一直到了和静县城,从金矿到和静县搭了两辆车没收我钱,还是好人多。下车住加油站对面的百花园宾馆,老板说徒步旅游辛苦,只收我50元住进了不带卫生间的准间。这宾馆2层,内外很是干净,走廊里摆满了植物,称百花园。矿路已经延伸到了这里,站在沟口就是这幅景象,很是失望之极!!决定搭车出山后,转身回望来路,心情是复杂的。去和静县途中遇见转场的哈萨羊群。1000元一只,地上跑的可都是钞票~~ 9月30号上午睡到自然醒,去步行街看各色民族汇聚。晚上吃饭时,见一队刚从狼塔出来的驴友。领队是广东小蜜蜂,他们在我后一天走的狼塔,在途中他们又遇见另外一个队伍。在金矿出来时是包矿上的车到和静,费用挺高,好象一个人的车费就是300。饭后找他们小坐了一会儿,这是一个团结的队伍,谈话中知道他们之间已磨合几年了,相互之间都很了解,跟着这样的团队走无疑是件开心的事情,他们之后还要结伴去天山。出狼塔还剩了一个气罐,我去喀什坐火车不让带,他们是包车回乌鲁木齐,想着明天送给他们。第二天联系时他们已经包车走了,为了安全担心被人捡了出事,找一牙顶着气门硬是把满罐里的气给放完了,才放心扔到垃圾筒里。在和静小住了几天,坐火车到喀什,开始另一段旅程------骑行。很安全的,男主人是公安局的。内部走廊上摆满了花儿。和静步行街,塑像是蒙族的一个历史英雄。步行街大门口这家的烤肉那是相当的棒。串好的羊肉不是直接烤,在一筒内沾上一层鸡蛋,蜂蜜,还有一种粉状的东西调制成的糊糊再烤,南疆的烤肉比北疆的好吃,这里的羊吃的草含碱多,肉味自然就好。3元一串,馕1元。烤肉时,馕也在碳火上热热,羊肉串上的调料拍打中也落在了馕上,撕一块馕夹几块烤肉在其中吃的那可真叫一个香。 10月4号中午12点火车到喀什,打车10元到三中对面的美利达专卖店老顾处,约好下午来提车。老顾又骑车带我去东湖小区的麦田旅舍,35一天。下午陪一个小兄弟去高台民居和老城转了一圈,整个喀什给人的感觉平静下不失紧张,大街上不时的能见到巡逻的特警和武警战士。整个下午在老城就我和小兄弟两个汉人,老城入口有家烤包子吃着不错,在喀什的每一天中午我都会去吃烤包子当午饭。下午去老顾处提车,选择的是美利达勇士350,也得到老顾的认可。这款车价格实惠,还带原装货架,全钢货架断了还可以电焊,走新藏线这样的路一个好的货架是少不了的。老顾好心提醒这样的季节骑新藏已经晚了,前一段本地一个骑友走新藏线也是骑了几天因天气原因就回来了。原来的计划是9月骑新藏,后来因事耽误些日子,这个季节确实不合适骑新藏,帖子上大多都是7,8月或9月上旬骑新藏。但既然想到这儿了,还是去一下,走不了再回来。之前已经16年没有骑过车子了,山地车的变速不知如何使用,更别说补车胎了。老顾人真的不错很是热心,组装完勇士350现场教我如何使用变速。让我在喀什这几天尽量多骑骑车,一是磨练一下屁股让自己快点适应,二是有哪里不合适再来店里调试一下车子。离开和静,喜欢这个城市的清净。和静是个小县,到喀什的这班车只卖卧铺和站票,没有座位票卖,卧铺是不在考虑范围的。到喀什这班车是双层列车。运气真的好,买的是无座票,上车人就不多空了不少位置,到了晚上9点多到库尔乐人都下的差不多了,找个位置躺下,除了短点,跟卧铺没什么区别嘛。喀什火车站。从狼塔出来手里就没有断过葡萄。高台民居。喀什古代是建在一个高崖上,高台民居分南北两端,据说数百年前从帕米尔高原突如其来的大山洪把高崖地带冲出个大口子,从此南北相隔,分离成两个独立的高坡,现在的高台民居就建在南坡。随着代代繁衍,仅有院落内再无地方扩展修房,便开始向高空延伸,就在原来住房上加建一层,二层。也是一大特色。高台民居上的普通人家。往老城去的路上。传说中的烤包子,皮儿薄馅儿实在。打字的同时,我咽了下口水,忒难忘了。老城的理发店,不知道在这里理发的同时,老板会不会边理边给你讲一千零一夜的故事。老城内一户富裕的人家,开始以为是一个小清真寺,看了看没有见到牌。老成内一处
