我与好玩就行,大牦牛三人结束了尼泊尔14天的旅行,包车进入印度。 小小的边检站,一不小心就过去了。走了一段,感觉有点不对。好玩就行去打听了一下,才知道,我们已经走过了!赶快回头,要不被发现,把我们当偷越国境可就麻烦了,这可是在印度啊。 返回来才看见这个地方。 在办理入境手续时,检查人员拿着我们的相机翻来覆去的看了好一会,看得我们有点紧张,担心他们刁难。看看他们的表情是乎又不像。不一会才知道,他们还没有见过我们这一类相机,觉得新鲜.好奇。 又过了一会,他们其中一人,拉着我的同伴到一边,轻轻说了一下,哦!是要小费。最后我们一人给了一美元,顺利放行。 进到印度,第一感觉就是,大街上悠闲走的牛。牠们慢慢吞吞,优哉游哉地到处走,没有一个人理会牠们。 此刻。已经感到肚子饿了,进了路边一家小食店,看到这一排很没有看样的食品与环境,食欲大减。 店老板往锅里放一些我们也不知道的调料 当地人对我们到来的好奇,一切都写在脸上。想想也是,就他们见多识广的边防检查人员都对我们好奇,别说他们了...... 奶茶 我们要驾驶员帮找一处恒河边上的旅馆。所以,他就把我们带到这个地方。 穿过了几个小巷道,突然一片鲜艳的色块跳入眼帘,定眼一看,哇!一群有说有笑的妇人坐在那里乘凉。顿时这个脏乱的小巷明亮起来。 驾驶员把我们带到一家看似还可以的旅馆。办完手续走进去,慢慢觉得有点不对劲。四层楼的房子,空空荡荡,看不到一个人。走进房间,老板指着窗子告诉我们,下面就是恒河。我看窗子紧紧关着,打开窗子,看到下面.......这...这...就是恒河! 沿着河边往岸上看,啊.....我要晕了,下面一堆堆正在烧的.....那不是我在尼泊尔见到的烧尸吗!离我们那么近,就在我们楼下。虽然我见到过这样的场景,在藏区近距离地拍过天葬,但此时的感觉非常不好。下面烧尸的嚓嚓声,清清楚楚的就在你面前响,晚上怎么睡觉!!! 正在烧尸的火堆。 死者的亲人在江中祈祷 晚上,楼下更加热闹了。烧尸的火烟,往我们窗子钻,我们只有紧紧关着窗子,走上楼顶观看。好玩就行这家伙还喝着啤酒,一边喝,一边看,他倒是挺淡定的。 我数了下面的火堆,一共十堆。 火焰慢慢散去,喧闹的恒河平静下来了。 我睡在床上,心,怎么也平静不下来。楼下的情景总是在眼前晃来晃去,总感觉自己就睡在火堆旁边....... 最后,自己都说不清这一夜是怎么熬过去的。 这就是我进印度的第一天。 恒 河 晨 曲 恒河,是印度文明的摇篮。作为印度第一大河,它发源于喜马拉雅山脉,全长2700多公里,中、上游有2100多公里在印度境内,下游500公里在孟加拉国。 恒河是印度的圣河,历史悠久,有着浓厚的民俗和文化色彩,即使经过千年的文明洗礼,恒河两岸的人们仍然保持着古老的习俗。许多自古流传的神话,使印度人民对恒河母亲生起无限的怀想,烙下一个不可磨灭的情结。这一生中至少要在恒河中沐浴一次,让圣河洗净生生世世所有的罪业。 在印度,大多数印度教信徒终生怀有4大乐趣:敬仰湿婆神、到恒河洗圣水澡并饮用恒河圣水、结交圣人朋友和居住在瓦拉纳西圣城。 到印度,我们最大的兴趣就是到恒河,拍摄那里的风光.人文景象。我们在那里住了三天,早出晚归地穿梭在恒河与千年古城《瓦拉纳西》之间,感受那里奇特的民俗风情,自然风光 进印度的第一天,在烧尸现场住了一个晚上。第二天一大早,天还没有亮,赶快收拾行李闪人。 在船夫的带领下,乘着夜色,坐上了划向恒河中心的小船,拍摄恒河岸边的景色。 对着即将升起的太阳祈祷 太阳升起时的宗教仪式 恒河,新的一天开始了。 11111 2222 3333 把鲜花放进小罐里,打满恒河水,面向太阳祈祷,然后把罐里的水.花一起倒进恒河。 4444 5555 66666 7777 666666([]

终于下决心开贴了,这次旅行回来已经一年多了,最近事情比较多,自己也对码字很头疼,今天浏览一番去年的旅游照片,再不写点东西,有些事情的细节可能就会遗忘了。 喜欢旅游的人,对欧洲是很向往的,10多年之前已经去过二次,一次是单位的福利,走马观花的15天10多个国家,稀里糊涂的就结束了旅行。第二次是陪老妈跟旅行团去的,摆脱不了上车睡觉,下车尿尿,景区拍照,回来啥也不知道的结局。现在岁数大了,有时间国内国外的到处走走看看,这几年也走过不少地方,感觉欧洲还是值得再次深度旅游。 要想玩的好,那绝对不能跟旅游团,自己去的话,行程安排就是个头疼的事情,欧洲那么大,几乎每个角落都有可看可玩的地方,放弃任何地方都是可惜的事,一次玩遍欧洲的话,是件很费力的大事。对着地图研究了很长时间,分两次玩遍欧洲是最好的选择,一次是从最南边的土耳其开始,一路北下,贯穿欧洲到最北边的北极圈。一次是以欧洲中部为主由东到西的环游,每次时间计划在60天左右。 游遍欧洲的旅游计划行程确定好了,让老婆选择先行路线,最后确定先走环游欧洲路线,交通工具是在德国法兰克福租车自驾。 路线确定下来,下面就是证买机票订旅店和租车,这些事情,有很多贴写的很详细,我就不再啰嗦,值得重点说的是,我们去欧洲的机票是北京经俄罗斯中转到法兰克福,已经到了俄罗斯了,为何不办一个俄罗斯过境,顺道去俄罗斯玩一次。申请德证完成后,又成功申请了俄罗斯二次过境证,每次不超过72小时。最后的行程是这样的: 北京出发,法兰克福进出,飞机在莫斯科经停,顺路先去俄罗斯的圣彼得堡.然后到德国的法兰克福,在法兰克福租车,先去海德堡,维尔茨堡,走一段古堡之路,主要游览德国南部众多的古堡和小镇。随后到达布拉格,游玩东欧匈牙利,捷克,斯洛伐克三国。后进奥地利维也纳。再反走阿尔卑斯之路,沿途欣赏色彩浓郁的阿尔卑斯山风光,在起伏平缓的丘陵地带,峻峭的山峰、绿色的森林、古老的乡村、浪漫的山谷,还有迷人的”世界最美乡镇”之称的哈尔施塔特.随后再次进入德国,重温有浓郁色彩的德国小镇和德国巴伐利亚国王的几个皇宫。国王湖和天鹅堡是重点.紧接着就是期盼的瑞士风光,苏黎世进入瑞士,日内瓦出瑞士进入法国,去法国西南部的普罗旺斯看薰衣草,而后去法国著名海滨城市尼斯.沿途游览几个法国城市后直奔西班牙巴塞罗那,观赏马德里附近的几个古镇,流连在各个充满了伊斯兰和古罗马风味的特色城堡。最后去这次的最远端葡萄牙的里斯本。返程途中游览法国西北部海滨城市和卢瓦尔河谷。取道卢森堡到达科隆,走莱茵河谷经科布伦茨到美因茨后回到法兰克福还车。再飞到莫斯科玩2天,最后回北京。预计57天,自驾路线大约1万多公里。路线为:北京—莫斯科—圣彼得堡—莫斯科--法兰克福--海德堡--维尔茨堡--班贝格--纽伦堡--布拉格--布拉迪斯拉发--布达佩斯--维也纳--梅尔克修道院--哈尔施塔特湖--戈绍--萨尔茨堡—国王湖--阿尔卑巴赫—阿亨湖--瓦腾斯水晶--因斯布鲁克---米腾瓦尔德--加米施-帕腾基兴---上阿玛高--林德霍夫宫--普兰湖--菲森--新天鹅堡--列支敦士登--林道--圣加伦--施泰因--苏黎世--卢塞恩--龙疆湖--因特拉肯--劳特布龙嫩--米伦—图恩湖--施皮茨--伯尔尼--马特洪峰--西庸古堡--洛桑--莫尔日--日内瓦--阿纳西--阿维尼翁--薰衣草胜地瓦郎索勒—尼斯--戛纳--马赛--艾克斯--阿尔勒--阿格德--巴塞罗那--萨拉戈萨--马德里—塞哥维亚--阿维拉--托莱多--格拉纳达--科尔多瓦---塞维利亚--梅里达---里斯本--辛特拉--法蒂玛-萨拉曼卡--布尔戈斯--维多利亚--圣塞瓦斯蒂安海滨--比亚里茨--巴约讷---波尔多---图尔--枫丹白露宫--特鲁瓦--卢森堡--科隆--科布伦茨--美因茨--法兰克福—莫斯科—北京。圣彼得堡夏宫莫斯科红场普罗旺斯看薰衣草世界最美乡镇”之称的哈尔施塔特奥地利瑞士尼斯蔚蓝海滨法国卢瓦尔河谷城堡西班牙葡萄牙 有了行程单,证就很好办,住宿我们都是在BOOKING上提前订好,基本上没有变化。租车提前2个月预定,价格有优势。 这次旅行,两个人总花费包括证在内不到8万元人民币。 出门旅游最大的消费就是交通费,我们欧洲环游是自驾,做好行程后,在网上发帖寻找旅伴,有一对绍兴夫妇与我们一啪即合,同步的申请证与订住宿,四个人完成了整个行程,这样,自驾这部分租车费,汽油费,过路费,存车费等四人均摊,费用自然降下来。 住宿费排名第二,根据各自对住宿条件的喜好程度,费用也参差不齐。我们的住宿平均55欧,基本上是中下水平。 饭费也占相当大的比例,我们自带了电饭煲和电磁炉,大部分是自己做饭。在这么长时间总吃西餐人也会疯的。自己做一些顺口的食物,即能保证营养,费用也下降不少。早餐基本上是稀饭和自带的咸菜,再煎鸡蛋或煮鸡蛋,配面包。中餐基本是自带的面包加火腿和各种涂抹料,配牛奶和果汁与蔬菜。晚餐米饭,自做的一荤一素一汤。葡萄酒每晚一瓶是必不可少的节目,牛排,猪排,鸡,鱼是晚餐的主打菜。感觉与在国内自己做菜的费用相差不大,欧洲人在吃饭上是很便宜啊。简单贴一个我们这次旅行的路线图。从图中可以看出,我们的旅行路线基本上就是中世纪神圣罗马帝国的疆域。去一个地方旅游,应该简单了解一下这些地区的历史和人文及信仰。欧洲的历史比较复杂,但从神圣罗马帝国开始就简单的多。这个神圣罗马帝国与罗马凯撒大帝时期的罗马帝国完全是两码事。神圣罗马帝国全称为德意志民族神圣罗马帝国或日耳曼民族神圣罗马帝国,与962年建立,止于1806年。这是一个松散的政治联邦,由王国、大公国、公国、侯国、宗教贵族领地和帝国自由城市组成,他们承认皇帝为最高权威,但各个王国又独立自主。皇帝由七个选帝侯选举产生。这其实就是现在欧盟的鼻祖。帝国的疆域包括近代的德国、奥地利、匈牙利、捷克、斯洛伐克、荷兰、比利时、卢森堡,瑞士,西班牙,葡萄牙,法国东部、意大利北部和中部。帝国的发展历史也是各诸侯国争夺皇位的历史,从15世纪初起,皇位均由奥地利哈布斯堡家族占据,查理五世(1519~1558)是最具代表性的一位君主。他们的大本营是奥地利,匈牙利和捷克斯洛伐克。进入17世纪以后,普鲁士崛起,建立普鲁士王国,随之也就带来了争霸的战争。结局是奥地利哈布斯堡家族惨败。能与神圣罗马帝国相抗衡的只有高卢人,北欧,奥斯曼帝国和欧洲大陆之外的英国。拿破仑的出现打破了这个平衡,16个神圣罗马帝国的成员脱离帝国,加入拿破仑邦联。1806年拿破仑勒令神圣罗马帝国皇帝弗朗茨二世于8月6日放弃神圣罗马帝国皇帝尊号,仅保留奥地利皇帝称号。宣告神圣罗马帝国从此退出历史舞台。1815年,拿破仑战争结束,德意志邦国被并入组织松散的德意志邦联,由奥地利领导。普鲁士新国王威廉一世和卓越的政治家俾斯麦的出现,又一次打破僵局,铁血宰相俾斯麦领导的普鲁士与哈布斯堡家族领导的奥地利展开一场为争夺霸权的普奥战争。站在普鲁士方面的,有梅伦堡、奥尔登堡和北德意志的其他各邦,以及汉堡、不来梅和吕贝克3个自由市和意大利。站在奥地利方面的,有萨克森、汉诺威、巴伐利亚、巴登、符腾堡、黑森一加塞尔、黑森一达姆施塔德和德意志邦联的其他成员国。从大邦国的数量和人口、面积来说,奥地利方面占有优势。但是,从军事实力来说,普鲁士则显然强于对方。但结局是普鲁士大胜,1866年8月23日,奥地利完全退出旧的北德意志联邦。随后的普法战争,普鲁士打败法国,普王威廉一世登基为德国皇帝,德国成为欧陆最强的大国。到此,欧洲各国的格局基本形成。现行的欧盟是不是复辟了过去的神圣罗马帝国我们不得而知,但申根条约的实施却对欧洲大陆的旅游提供了方便。第一天,行程开始。北京机场与绍兴的旅友汇合,洲际航空UN8888 北京 - 莫斯科.起飞0040,到达.0440. 总时长8小时。我们都变成了追日的夸父,由于经纬度的变化,机窗外粉红的彩带一直伴随了我们飞行的大部分时间,这是不是就是传说的永不日落的晚霞? 准时到达莫斯科伏努科沃VKO机场,出关也很顺利。我们申请了俄罗斯过境证,机票就变为北京--莫斯科往返加莫斯科--法兰克福往返,在莫斯科中转不在同一个机场。今天我们要赶往圣彼得堡。 由于到达时间早,机场快线还没有开始,但第一班公交车611路刚好到达。语言不通,但手机里有莫斯科地铁的照片,拿给司机看,司机点头。莫斯科的公交车没有售票员,市民坐车基本都买公交卡,司机收了我们四人共100P,给一个卡。上车后,打卡才能通过类似公园大门的自动刷卡机进入车厢。来俄罗斯之前,也看过不少人写的游记,都说俄罗斯人粗野,警察也会找麻烦。在车上,小心翼翼的拿出提前打印好莫斯科地铁站名的纸片,与周围人询问下车的地方,还是有人会帮你,坐了将近一个小时,到站后,司机也喊我们该下车了。下公交车,坐红色地铁线去火车站。莫斯科的地铁致是一个红色大写的“M”字,下车后,远远就能看到。从莫斯科去圣彼得堡的火车站在莫斯科地铁红线的Комсомольской(中文叫共青团站)(红线跟环线的交叉站)站,这个站棕线上的站台很漂亮。 俄罗斯人大多数不会讲英语,去俄罗斯旅游,打印一些日常用语带在身边有很大的帮助。贴一些我找到的俄罗斯常用语。城市名字:1.莫斯科Москва 2.圣彼得堡Санкт-Петербург莫斯科景点:1.列宁墓 мавзолей ленина 2.圣瓦西里大教堂Храм Василия Блаженного 3.克林姆林宫Кремль 4.新圣女公墓Новодевичьекла69;дбище5.克里姆林宫Кремль6.红场 красная площадь 7.历史博物馆 Государственный Исторический музей 8.瓦西里升天大教堂 Храм Василия Блаженного9.地下商场Охотный ряд10广场манежная площадь 11.普希金造型艺术馆 Государственный музей изобразительных искусств им.

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([]

质感强烈花盛开清丽高贵胡姬花园大门处 在北半球寒风凛冽时,新加坡永远却是夏天的模样,早晨出门会有淡淡凉意,到正午却是艳阳高照。到新加坡旅游,不能不看新加坡的国花---胡姫花。 胡姫花是新加坡的国花,其实就是兰花。东南亚通称兰花为胡姬花。新加坡人则称为“卓锦-万代兰”,因为侨居新加坡的亚美尼亚人卓锦女士在自己花园里培育而成。因花朵清丽端庄、生命力特强,它象征新加坡人的气质和刻苦耐劳、果敢奋斗的精神。 在新加坡观赏胡姬花非国家胡姬园莫属。 国家胡姬园(National Orchid Garden)坐落于新加坡植物园最高的山冈上,占地约四公顷,目前培育了超过2000多个品种的胡姬花。这里的胡姬花以全世界名女人来命名,包括造访新加坡的撒切尔夫人和戴安娜王妃,都可以在胡姬花园内找到同名的兰花品种。 其中最特别的是卓锦万代兰(Vanda Miss Joaquim),其于1893年由卓锦(Miss Joaquim)在当地意外发现这款原生钟兰花,罕见独特,在1981年4月15日被定为新加坡国花。其花朵长约7厘米,宽约6.5厘米,浅紫红色的花瓣上布有深紫红斑点,中间部分为深玫瑰色,花管呈橙黄色,四季盛开,鲜艳动人,而且在恶劣的条件下,也能含芳吐艳。 园内60000多株色彩绚丽的胡姬花在热带植物的映衬下光彩夺目。缤纷的胡姬花与热带植物交相辉映,蜿蜒园中的台阶小路,领略春天的芬芳和传说中的繁花似锦。 众多的胡姬花,有的淡雅,有的娇艳,但不管怎样,胡姬花在骨子里都透出一种天生的高贵气质。 不管怎样,对于喜欢花草的人来说,漫步国家胡姬园赏花、拍花都是不错的选择。感受新加坡之一——漫步岛国看狮城 干净清新亦繁华(概述篇) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2172957-1-1.html感受新加坡之二——休闲小岛走不停 亚洲最南寻风情(圣淘沙篇)https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2182169&page=1&extra=#pid50347652感受新加坡之三——参天巨树生满园热带风情绿无限(植物园篇)https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2231866&page=1&extra=#pid53500784感受新加坡之四——绿意充盈总统府世外桃源乌敏岛(总统府和乌敏岛篇)https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2253589&page=1&extra=#pid55203314感受新加坡之五——海风轻拂鱼尾狮 流光溢彩夜迟迟(滨海湾篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2255988-1-1.html感受新加坡之七——小印度里寻缩影甘榜格南回族情(新加坡河等篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2322447-1-1.html 感受新加坡之八——立体交通路纵横街道小区绿充盈(交通和街道篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2326625-1-1.html 感受新加坡之九——狮城春节气息浓牛车水里最喜庆(春节和牛车水篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2330106-1-1.html感受新加坡之十——方式灵活有初院 环境优美好校园(南初篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2344728-1-1.html感受新加坡之十一——享誉全球名高校 环境优雅美校园(南大篇)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2354269-1-1.html 新加坡胡姬花园在新加坡地图上的位置 园内的流水景观 花开艳丽 黄的温暖 蓝白相间 红的似火 低头迎客 艳丽无比 红红火火 室内的胡姬花 园区分布平面图 紫色是最多见的胡姬花之一 白色胡姬花也很多见 花开满园 黄色是最多见的胡姬花之一 园内处处花盛开 艳丽之花初初见 园内处处花盛开 黄的耀眼 阳光下的花儿 质感很强的胡姬花 花开朵朵 花色满园 满园花色 耀眼的花蕊 花开朵朵 独放花枝 热带风情浓郁的花草 花开满园关不住(
注: 因为这次冬季狼塔穿越活动关注度较高,这里把有关信息罗列出来,以便驴友们了解事件的全貌! 【2013.12.24】由树组织的第一期冬季狼塔穿越活动组队完毕,共有来自全国各地的15名的队员参加,活动领队:树,豆浆,清风。我们将于2013年12月28日早晨从巴伦台乘坐越野车到达古仁格勒(古伦沟)桥,之后徒步进入狼塔,30日翻越此行最高的达坂:海拔3960m的蒙特开曾达坂,2014年1月1日新年第一天到达著名的狼塔温泉:阿日相,沐浴休整半天,祈福迎新。1月3日或者4日从呼图壁106煤矿出山。如果道路顺达,能租到合适的皮卡车把我们从林场三工队接应出山,我们将于1月3日出山,刚好赶上呼图壁狼塔户外大自在的新年年会,准备一起去凑个热闹,给大自在的年会助兴。谢谢关注此处活动的各位驴友!预祝我们的冬季狼塔穿越活动圆满成功! 【2014.1.4】2014.1.3下午5点,由树组织的第一期冬季狼塔穿越队伍全体队员到达呼图壁106煤矿处,与接应车辆汇合,用时7天。在此前的的中午13点,已经开始有电信手机信号,领队豆浆已经将我们顺利出山的消息通报给了外界。本次活动共有11名队员加树、豆浆、清风3位领队,本来还有老朋友天山土狼是要来当协作的,但他单位有急事脱不开身,只能零时退坑,这样最后队伍共14名成员。其中女队员5人,占三分之一强,也是树组织的狼塔队伍里女队员人数最多比例最高的一次。穿越队伍完全按照计划时间表和路线行进,前三天气温比较低,最低温度达到-25℃。翻越蒙特开曾达坂进入狼塔核心区域后,气温回升,最高温度接近-5℃。2014年1月1日,我们到达阿日相,泡温泉休整了半天,享受了一段非常休闲的狼塔时光。1月3日下午5点顺利出山,与接应车辆汇合。顺利完成了第一期冬季狼塔穿越活动。谢谢所有朋友的关注。 遗憾的是,一次普通的冬季狼塔穿越活动,被某些不负责任的媒体和别有用心的人炒作成了一起公众事件。也引起了当地政府有关部门的注意,给这次冬季狼塔穿越带来额外的干扰和压力。出山后,看到各种五花八门、莫名其妙的报道让人眼花缭乱,各种头绪还在整理中。【2014.1.8】事件回顾:15名疆内外驴友冬闯呼图壁县狼塔 目前已失去联系 有人说过,世上人分两种,听劝和不听劝。有人能听进别人的劝告。有人自信满满,不肯听人劝,比如这名父母哭得天昏地暗都阻止不了的驴友,他硬是要在大冬天来穿越难度不小的狼塔C线。好说歹说,他们一行人算是打消了念头,可目前又和他们失去了联系,那一片可都是无人区,再失去了联系,这可多让人担心…… 据新疆新闻在线消息:(记者王磊 )15名疆内外驴友要在12月28日反穿呼图壁县狼塔C线的消息,日前经微博报道后,引起众多网友关心,有驴友家属甚至通过微博喊话,希望新疆当地警方能够劝阻。 26日,其中一名驴友的姐姐“玲玲大人”跟帖称,弟弟27日的飞机从上海飞新疆,父母哭得天昏地暗都阻止不了,没办法,只希望那边(新疆)警察能封山。 30日,记者从昌吉州党委宣传部和呼图壁县应急办获悉,15名疆内外驴友已经放弃反穿狼塔C线,但有部分驴友表示既然已经到了,想在呼图壁县冬牧场附近走一走。但目前已与他们失去了联系。 根据“昌吉发布”消息称,该线路沿线牧民已转场,属无人区,天山山区天气寒冷,不确定因素很多。呼吁驴友尽量不要冒险。 据悉,此次活动领队为昌吉一名网名为“树”的驴友,持新登协领队证,有多次夏季狼塔和一次冬季狼塔穿越经验。 记者了解到,这15名驴友选择的是反穿越,先坐车从昌吉出发到南疆巴伦台进入狼塔,相比较从呼图壁进入难度要小一些,这些驴友计划28日进入狼塔C线,徒步8天左右时间,在2014年1月3日穿越完成。 得知此事后,新疆山友救援队总队长杨军也在其个人微博上发布消息,劝说这些驴友谨慎行动。 呼图壁县应急办工作人员介绍,29日,他们与领队“树”取得联系,劝说他们在人员、装备未充分准备的情况下,切勿进山,况且冬季那里属于无人区,十分危险。如果执意进山,需在公安、旅游部门备案。 这名工作人员称,经过劝说,对方已放弃反穿计划,计划明年夏季再穿越,同时改变路线,带着四名上海驴友打算前往冬季牧场附近走走,计划5~6天返回。但他们依旧未在公安、旅游部门备案。 目前,领队“树”的电话一直处于关机状态,呼图壁县应急办已通知当地公安、旅游部门,密切关注事件动态,随时提供帮助。新疆登山运动管理中心副主任周勇说,冬季出于安全因素考虑,登山运动主管部门杜绝领队擅自带客人进山,如果是新疆登山协会颁发的领队证,领队不听劝说,主管部门将会注销其领队资质。 就是这篇消息,引发了一起轰动全国的驴友“失踪”事件。“蝴蝶效应”使得这则消息在短短的几天内发酵膨胀,其结果是当地政府高度紧张和关注,众多的驴友和民众担惊受怕……思量再三,决定还是回复一下这则消息。 1.“26日,其中一名驴友的姐姐“玲玲大人”跟帖称,弟弟27日的飞机从上海飞新疆,父母哭得天昏地暗都阻止不了,没办法,只希望那边(新疆)警察能封山。” 答:我队查无此人,希望他平安出山,尽快与家人联系。建议每一位计划穿越狼塔线的驴友,请一定和你的家人沟通好,得到家人的同意。 2. “30日,记者从昌吉州党委宣传部和呼图壁县应急办获悉,15名疆内外驴友已经放弃反穿狼塔C线,但有部分驴友表示既然已经到了,想在呼图壁县冬牧场附近走一走。但目前已与他们失去了联系。答:我队进狼塔线,携带有海事卫星电话一部,GPS导航仪三部,完全可以满足我队对外的通信联络和线路导航之用。为了节约用电,卫星电话通常是关闭的。我们要求队员进山前通报家人,山内8天没有手机信号。我们的队伍28日中午进入狼塔线就没有手机信号了,30日时我们已经在蒙特开曾达坂,故没有手机没有信号属于正常。 3.得知此事后,新疆山友救援队总队长杨军也在其个人微博上发布消息,劝说这些驴友谨慎行动。答:真心感谢新疆山友救援队的关注和关心。 4. 记者了解到,这15名驴友选择的是反穿越,先坐车从昌吉出发到南疆巴伦台进入狼塔,相比较从呼图壁进入难度要小一些,这些驴友计划28日进入狼塔C线,徒步8天左右时间,在2014年1月3日穿越完成。答:我队于12月28日从古仁格勒进入狼塔,2014年1月3日从呼图壁林场出山,用时7天,与计划书一致。 5.“这名工作人员称,经过劝说,对方已放弃反穿计划,计划明年夏季再穿越,同时改变路线,带着四名上海驴友打算前往冬季牧场附近走走,计划5~6天返回。但他们依旧未在公安、旅游部门备案。”答:我参与过2013年8月22日和9月24日的两次狼塔救援,非常清楚狼塔救援的难度很大,要消耗大量的人力物力。所以,在接到呼图壁县应急办的劝阻电话后,领队组认真研究并制定的路线预案,计划带队伍先到巴仑台的蒙古冬季牧场深入三天,对每位队员的体能和装备做个全面的实地测试。期间如遇天气聚变不适宜穿越或队员体能不合格,马上撤退。巴仑台蒙古冬季牧场有牧民活动,也有马匹和牧屋,很安全。同时,冬季狼塔线上最寒冷的路段就分布在巴仑台的蒙古冬季牧场。在我们的队伍进入冬季牧场后天气晴好,气温也在预测之内。夜间最低气温为-25℃,经过两天行走测试,队员的体能非常优秀,身体状态良好。于是我们尝试着翻越南北疆的分界线蒙特开曾达坂,蒙特开曾达坂海拔高度3960米,是完整穿越狼塔线的关键点。30日下午6点,全队成功翻越蒙特开曾达坂,翻越难度和我们之前预期的基本一致。最终才有了这次冬季狼塔线的完整穿越。 6.新疆登山运动管理中心副主任周勇说,冬季出于安全因素考虑,登山运动主管部门杜绝领队擅自带客人进山,如果是新疆登山协会颁发的领队证,领队不听劝说,主管部门将会注销其领队资质。答:没有备案是错误的,做为主领队,我要作深刻检讨。今后,我们一定努力改进我们的工作,及时向主管部门多汇报,和相关部门多沟通,同时,严格按照规定备案。 7.冬季狼塔线风险提示,作为第一支完整穿越冬季狼塔线的商业队伍的领队,在此提醒有计划冬季穿越狼塔的驴友,冬季穿越狼塔线有风险,请慎重对待并做好相应的准备:冬季狼塔线的综合难度和夏季狼塔基本一致,但需要防范的风险重点不同;夏季狼塔线最大的风险是反复过河,冬季狼塔线最大的风险是应对低温气候和积雪过厚,建议按照-35℃的极限低温来配备装备;同时冬季狼塔核心地区没有牧民,一旦出现险情,首先必须依靠队伍的自救能力来脱险和争取时间,所以我们建议穿越队伍的人数在12人左右为宜;一支队伍必须携带一部卫星电话,以供紧急情况下使用。另外,每年的10月11月12月达坂上积雪会比较厚,翻越强度很大,加之河水尚未完全封冻,又无法沿着河谷行走,故不建议穿越狼塔线。每年的3月4月是雪崩的高发期,也不建议穿越狼塔线。 8.冬季狼塔线的风景描述: 与夏季有很大差异,冰瀑,冰河,温泉是冬季狼塔线的看点,狼、雪豹、雪鸡等野生动物在冬季活动更加频繁。更容易看到他们的踪迹。 9.感谢:感谢自治区应急办,感谢昌吉州人民政府和呼图壁县人民政府!感谢自治区登山协会!感谢新疆山友救援队和新疆蓝天救援队!感谢所有关注此次冬季狼塔穿越活动的媒体!感谢那些认识的不认识的真心关注我们安全的朋友们!附本次活动召集帖链接:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1940300-1-1.html 2014年冬季穿越狼塔线活动计划书(元旦 春节 寒假共四期) 一、狼塔之路的地理气候和背景资料 狼塔之路是以南北方向穿越中部天山的一条徒步探险线路,北起昌吉回族自治州南达巴音郭楞蒙古自治州。早在2003年,著名探险家王铁男老师率队从呼图壁林场出发,历经九天,抵达和静县巴仑台镇的古仁格勒村。这条以南北方向贯穿中天山的徒步探险路线被命名为狼塔之路,后来,又派生出了相对较简单两条徒步线路狼塔A线和狼塔B线。而这条贯穿天山南北的穿越路线就被驴友们称作狼塔C线,全程约120公里。 狼塔C线基本沿着河源峰东侧行进,河源峰海拔高度5290米,也被称作“狼塔”,意为有群狼守护的塔山,这也是狼塔之路名字的由来。狼塔C线是一条古老的天山驿道,也是牧民们祖祖辈辈使用的换季路线。上世纪七十年代,呼图壁县为了更好的利用狼塔地区的牧业资源,在河谷两侧的峭壁上开凿了许多栈道,以方便牧民转场使用。这就是驴友口中的“空中栈道”。随着户外探险活动在国内的兴起,狼塔C线以其独特的天山风光和高难度已经成为国内最受欢迎,知名度极高的徒步探险路线。 2011年8月,以驴友树为领队的5位驴友又开发出了从和静县巴仑台镇古仁格勒村至昌吉市庙尔沟农大林场的穿越路线,这是又一条穿越天山南北的徒步探险路线既狼塔v线,以及与狼塔c线的组合路线既狼塔c+v线。 狼塔c+v线全程约200公里,需要翻越9座达坂,已经成为国内最顶级的徒步探险路线。 狼塔之路穿越的中天山腹地,也是整个天山山脉山体最为宽厚的区域之一,山势变化复杂,河流众多,水流湍急。气候有垂直分布的特点,随着海拔升高,气温逐渐降低,降水量则逐渐加大。一般来说,海拔4000米左右为永久积雪和冰川带;雪线以下至海拔2700米之间为高山裸岩与高山草甸带;1700米至2700米高度之间为雪岭云杉分布带;1700米以下为山地草原带。蒙特开曾达坂为南北疆的分界线,南北两侧气候有明显差异,北边的呼图壁一侧气候湿润,而南边的和静县一侧气候较干燥。在海拔3800米的地方,年平均气温在零度左右,常常有阵雨,、阵性大风和冰雹,即便是夏季,夜里也会降到零度以下。冬季最冷可达-40℃。但在呼图壁一侧的河谷里,由于逆温带效应,即便是在最寒冷的冬季,最高气温可以达到零度左右。 蒙特开曾达坂南侧为巴音郭楞蒙古自治州管辖,以信仰佛教的蒙古族为主,北侧则属于昌吉回族自治州管辖,以信仰伊斯兰教的哈萨克牧民为主。蒙特开曾达坂南侧就是驴友口中著名的狼塔高山牧场,属于土尔扈特部蒙古人。公元1771年,从中国迁徙到伏尔加河下游生活了近200年的蒙古土尔扈特部族,由于不堪忍受沙俄王朝的种族灭绝政策,在其首领渥巴锡汗的率领下,扶老携幼,丢弃大量家什器皿和钱财,驱赶着五百万头牲畜,毅然从伏尔加河下游的阿斯特拉罕出发,浩浩荡荡,横穿哈萨克草原,向着中国的西北地区前进,经过半年多的长途跋涉,终于在1771年6月底全部回归祖国,胜利地完成了一次震撼中外的民族大迁移。这片草原就是乾隆皇帝划给他们的牧场,当时划分给他们的牧场还包括巴音布鲁克大草原等。二、低温和高反 在过去的2013年,最少有1000名来自全国各地的驴友穿越了狼塔之路,穿越时间集中在夏季的5月--10月初。其他季节很少有队伍穿越狼塔的。本文介绍的是一次冬季穿越狼塔的队伍以及他们的所见所闻。 冬季狼塔穿越路线:乌鲁木齐——和静——巴伦台——古仁格勒桥——哈拉哈提达坂(3800m)——乌苏牧场——金矿——两河岔口——喀纳尕依特达坂(3750m)——蒙特开曾达坂(3960m)——3450m小冰湖——狼塔木屋——小树林营地——库勒阿特腾达坂沟口——狼塔温泉(阿日相)——尔特兰塔河口——三号栈道——台普希玛可河口——果勒八号桥——二号栈道——头号栈道——呼图壁林场三工队——106煤矿——昌吉——乌鲁木齐。 全程约120公里,需要8天时间(2013年12月28日至2014年1月3日)。 关于狼塔线,目前最热门的穿越路线是:狼塔c线、狼塔v线;还有最为顶级的狼塔组合路线:狼塔c+v线。这三种狼塔线穿越的详情,网上资料很多,介绍的也很详细。不了解的可以去百度、谷歌上搜搜,这里不再赘述。 不过,当你看完网上的相关资料后会发现,穿越狼塔的时间都是集中在每年的5月至10月这六个月内,没有其他月份的穿越狼塔的。这到底是为什么呢?不同的季节都有不一样的风景,那其他季节的狼塔什么样子呢?特别是冬日的狼塔,能进去吗?它和夏天的狼塔有什么不一样?穿越难度如何?风景漂亮吗?最重要的是安全吗?…… 冬季的狼塔地区,牧民以及他们的羊群牛群早已经转场下山,变成了真正意义上的无人区。 于是狼塔地区就彻底成了野生动物的天堂,这里有传说中的天山雪豹;天山雪鸡也会在你帐篷边叽叽喳喳叫个不停,以至于吵得你难以入睡;神雕大鸟随处可见;至于那些驴友们想见而又真怕遇到到的恶狼,只有到了冬季才称得上是狼塔真正的主人,它们随时都有可能和你偶遇…… 那数不清的冰瀑冰河,颜色各异,千娇百媚、姿态万千;令你流连忘返,让你看个够、拍个爽。 至于传说中可以祛病强身的狼塔温泉,也只有在冬季河水水位下降了,才露出她的真实容颜来。也只有在冬季它才敞开怀抱,等待着拥抱那些不惧寒冷,千辛万苦来探望她的路人。 2013年12月28日,和静县。一支14人组成的冬季狼塔穿越队伍集结完毕,他们分别来自新疆、湖南、广东、浙江、北京等地,其中女队伍5人。中午由越野车送达穿越起点古仁格勒桥。这是出发时的合影(稍后上传们)狼塔c线的终点--古仁格勒桥古仑沟,驴友都称呼为古仁格勒。这里是和静县巴仑台镇古仑沟村的冬季牧场。今天的古伦沟地区天气晴好,气温-15℃左右,无风。刚开始的8公里路坡度平缓,海拔3000米左右,走起来很舒服,整个队伍以每小时4公里的速度前进。 63岁的老驴友鲜橙多多,只要休息就开始裸,说是这样补钙,也不知道管用不管用,我怎么觉得他是在显摆他的赘肉呢?妞妞只要不是在走路中,看着还算是一位非常文静秀气美女。 从牧民小砖房开始,坡度加大,队伍速度明显减缓。由于是第一天行走,许多队员都不在状态,加上冬季含氧量低的缘故,有一半队员出现不同程度的高山反应症状。在哈拉哈提达坂顶,我们没敢多停留,直接下降到了乌苏牧场。哈拉哈提达坂海拔高度3800米,是此次穿越的第一座有难度的达坂。本来计划扎营到乌苏牧场的牧民房子,怕天黑赶路容易崴脚而放弃。直接扎营到了海拔3500米的河谷,营地积雪有10厘米左右。晚上最低气温达到-25℃.好在我们是按照-30℃的气温准备的装备,晚上并没有觉得很冷。图中左侧的哈拉哈提达坂 右侧的是古仁格勒奎克达坂 第一天的营地,积雪厚度10厘米左右。 第二天的路线就是穿越乌苏牧场,乌苏牧场是一处冬季牧场,牧场上以放养牦牛为主。部分河道已经完全结冰,带上冰抓行走在冰河上,那种感觉对于来自南方的驴友来说既新鲜又有一定难度。在山脚下的一处牧民房子,我们看到一只牧民捡回来的盘羊角,羊头完整,羊骨架上肉色鲜红,有被狼撕咬过的痕迹。盘羊属于国家一级保护动物,数量稀少,我们穿越狼塔线最常见的是北山羊,很少能看到盘羊了。乌苏牧场至狼塔V线的绿湖一带是盘羊的重要栖息地,这里曾经是国际盘羊狩猎场。来自湖南的阿敏和达哥抬着盘羊头留影,达哥已经是第二次走狼塔了,2013年的7月她随我们组织的第五期狼塔C+V线队伍走完全程。体能一流。 漫山遍野的牦牛是冬季牧场的主角。 鲜花总是喜欢和牛粪在一起 金矿已经停产,但满目沧桑的河道看着让人心痛,我甚至不愿意再用相机去拍,这是金矿职工用过笼梯。这户牧民家的房子本来是在小河边的草原上,疯狂的淘金活动,使得他的家周围变成的乱石坑。 至两河交叉处的这段河谷已经完全结冰,不用趟河,也不用爬山了,只需要一副好冰爪。 当晚的露营地选择在一处河谷草地,可以点篝火,比第一天的营地暖和 ,最低气温-20℃。海拔3000米。 2013年12月30日,今天的任务是翻越此行最高的达坂蒙特开曾达坂,海拔高度3960米。由于临近达坂顶部两侧没有好的营地,必须一天完成翻越,所以路线比较长。加上爬升高度超过了1000米,冬季高海拔空气中的含氧量更低,更容易出现高山反应,对整个队伍是个严峻的考验。也是此行能否顺利完成冬季狼塔穿越的关键。14人的队伍有5位女队员,是我组织的狼塔穿越队伍里女队员人数最多比例最高的一次,女队员由于背负能力比男队员弱,比例高则意味着男队员需要分担更多的背负。经过前两天的磨合,感觉队伍里的五位女队员体能耐力都不错,但有三人出现了不同程度的高山反应症状。新疆队员妞妞第一天就出现呕吐等高反症状,但她似乎恢复的很快,第二天基本就好了。现在最担心就是来自深圳的簪子,她的高反症状更严重一些。簪子是一位九零后,队伍里的小妹妹。有过6000米以上的登山经历还跑过全程马拉松,体能基础很好,但这次的高反依然持续了三天。在高反最严重的时候几乎是三步一喘,两步一歇。为此,我和豆浆、清风决定,一旦簪子的高反进一步加重,将由我或清风陪簪子从乌苏牧场撤退回古仁格勒。用卫星电话提前约好越野车在古仁格勒接应,乌苏牧场有牧民的马匹,最多半天就可以撤退出山。做好相应准备后,队伍早早就出发了。先要翻越喀纳尕依特达坂,达坂高度3750米。这是簪子在爬升途中,走的很累也很慢。 当后队簪子在痛苦中艰难爬升时,有人却正在享受的剧烈上升所带来快感,这是来自湖南的达哥,很男性化的名字,体能速度都是一流的,可以和当年的石头美女pk一下。当然,这只是达哥的一面。熟悉她的人都知道,达哥还是一位文采飞扬的才女,以下就是她在2013年7月参加第5期狼塔c+v全程穿越后的一段文字: …… 走狼塔,更大程度上源于体验和思考,不是失恋了,不是失业了,也不是失常了。 可能是失心了! 只想从固体生活中抽离,褪去时间、空间这一层皮,去寻觅另一个自己! 压根儿没想到要去挑战什么,对自然我天生敬畏,对自己我也不缺乏信心! ……这次是她重返狼塔了。 四个多小时的爬升,终于登顶喀纳尕依特达坂。高反使得簪子的脸部有轻微浮肿。这是簪子在乌鲁木齐火车站拍的对比一下。你说说你一个姑娘家的,到狼塔来干什么?而且还是在寒冷冬季,这下毁容的,回家得用多少化妆品才能补回来呀。2012年8月,第一期狼塔c+v穿越时豆浆给这座敖包上套的雨披已经风化的有点破旧。看着队员飞翔拍的这张照片,不由感叹,时光的确像一把杀猪刀。 从喀纳尕依特达坂到蒙特开曾达坂是沿着山坡横切的,只有200多米的爬升,距离约3公里,夏季时我们只需要一个多小时就可以到达。但今天,簪子和我却走了五个多小时。总是感觉腿软绵绵的使不上劲。晚上在营地和豆浆交流也是这种体会,冬季含氧量低应该是最重要的原因。通往蒙特开曾达坂的路上基本没有什么雪,和夏季来时一个样子。据此推断,蒙特开曾达坂北侧的积雪也不会太厚。从南侧拍的蒙特开曾达坂垭口 从喀纳尕依特达坂到蒙特开曾达坂是沿着山坡横切的,只有200多米的爬升,距离约3公里,夏季时我们只需要一个多小时就可以到达。但今天,簪子和我却走了五个多小时。总是感觉腿软绵绵的使不上劲。晚上在营地和豆浆交流也是这种感觉,冬季含氧量低可能最重要的原因。 后来,我和簪子又追上一直走在前面的北京女孩雯子,看着雯子迈着艰难的步伐走得很沉重。问她有什么不适应,她说没有什么不适应,就是腿上没有劲,走不快。 清风带着前队已经走了,豆浆在一避风处等我们,同时还烧了一大锅野蘑菇汤,路过的队友每人一碗热汤。今天为了赶时间,中途没有集中休息和午餐,吃的是方便路餐,这时能喝上一碗热汤,真是很提神。后来有队员说,不是豆浆的这碗热汤,今天很难翻过蒙特开曾达坂。天色渐晚,太阳马上就要落山了。雯子已经落到了队伍的最后面。 等雯子、簪子和我爬上海拔3960米的蒙特开曾达坂顶时,天已经完全黑透了,气温急剧下降,好在今天达坂顶没有风。我们没在达坂顶逗留,沿着前队趟开的雪路迅速下降,以快速降低海拔高度。原来预测蒙特开曾达坂的北坡可能会有半米以上的积雪,结果发现我们错了,积雪厚度最深处也就三十厘米,冰川下半部的积雪还有坚硬的雪盖,完全可以承受一个人的重量,连趟雪都省了。走在后队的队员甚至不需要带雪套就顺利下来了。用了不到一个小时,就走完了一公里多长蒙特开曾冰川,时间已经是晚上八点多钟了,再往下的路线都是在乱石堆里穿行,不适合夜行,于是直接在冰川末梢的石头滩扎营。这里海拔约3600米。晚上最低气温-25℃。至此,冬季狼塔穿越路线上最难的卡脖子路段已经完成。这是蒙特开曾冰川下的营地 晚上,有五六级的阵风。早晨起来,挨着鼻子部分的睡袋边缘结了一层薄冰,内帐上结了厚厚的一层霜,轻轻碰触,就会像下雪一样洒落在帐篷内。 三、野兽 12月31日,早晨的营地太冷,没有吃早饭,计划先下降至海拔2800米的狼塔木屋附近。队伍速度很快。两个多小时后,到达了狼塔牧屋。 2013年9月25日这里曾经有过一次轰动全国的狼塔救援事件,大连驴友因患有急性胃穿孔,最后动用了新疆军区的直升飞机参与救援。作为熟悉狼塔地区的新疆领队,应大连队的求助,我参与他们自9月24日就开始的自救行动,提供了力所能及的救援指导和帮助,详情这里就不多介绍了。因为最后军区出动了直升飞机参与救援,并成功救出了生病的队员。 我们的这次冬季穿越狼塔活动也是差点“被救援”,动静着实不小。其实在我看来,我们对自然的恐惧多来自于未知,对狼塔路线的不了解才是我们恐惧的真正原因所在。我想通过这个帖子,向所有关注狼塔的朋友介绍一个全面的而生动的狼塔,而不是“谈狼(塔)色变”。 自步入户外以来,虽然探过十几条新线路,包括著名的狼塔v线,但我从未想着要去挑战什么,更不会去拿自己和队友的生命去冒险。以往的帖子里我也从未用过“挑战”二字。 我带队有两条原则:一是没有把握的路线不带;二是自己掌控不了的队伍也不带。一条路线风险的高低和穿越该路线的队伍是相关联的,同样的一条路线,有的队伍去走是安全的,而有的队伍去走就是危险的。不能一概而论。这也是为什么有队伍在乌鲁木齐的南山都频频出险的原因。太阳照着很暖和,晒睡袋、帐篷并烧水做饭,早饭午饭合并一起吃了。昨天因高反走在后面的雯子和簪子,今天却开始发飙,一直跟着前队的步伐前进,我从早晨起来就没有见着她俩的影子。河谷里气温达到-5℃左右。太阳晒在身上暖融融的,很是舒服。 尔特兰塔河已经完全封冻,需要穿着冰爪行走。这是雯子在下冰坡,和昨天判若两人。不光在山路上跑的飞快,即使是在冰瀑、冰坡上行走也是大步流星、身轻如燕。难道她昨天是故意假装淑女的? 路过著名的尔特兰塔河谷小树林营地,积雪有10厘米左右,继续前行,找到一处绝好的冬季营地,草地平整入席,基本没有积雪。晚上燃起篝火。今天是2013年的最后一天,也是进入狼塔以来走的最轻松的一天,晚饭炒了三个菜,牛肉炖干茄子,木耳炒肉,羊肉炖干豆角,主食是米饭,很丰盛。队友们喝酒聊天一直到凌晨零点,迎来了新的一年2014年。晚上气温-15度左右,已经完全没有了前三天的寒冷感觉。在已经结冰河水中取水,只能凭经验找出冰比较薄的地方开洞取水。点火,找水这样的技术活基本都是清风一人包了。([]
〖序〗去年元旦,我在零下45度的坝上草原,极度寒冷干燥的天气,还没回上海,我的手上就开始发湿疹。最初并不在意,却没想到,湿疹越发越多,最后竟伴随了我一年,并发展到全身性皮肤过敏。每次似乎过敏稍好一点,一旦出去旅行或出差,便又再次复发。而去年是我特别忙碌的一年,出差频繁,旅行也很频繁。湿疹却因反复发作,久治不愈,已成顽疾,让我去年整整一年,痒并快乐着。今年元旦,从柬埔寨回来后,十个手指头再次长满密密麻麻的湿疹,让我痛下决心,暂时不出去玩了,哪儿也不去了,就在上海呆着,修身养性。 修身养性,说起来容易做起来难。尤其是身处户外圈,身边的朋友都是不安分的旅行狂热者,春节开始,朋友圈里便陆续晒各类旅行照,接着是各类旅行计划。我又心痒了。 “当【旅行】被按下暂停键,还好有照片可以感怀与想念。只是为何,两个月前的柬埔寨之行,已如两年般久远?”当我在微信上敲出这段文字时,只觉内心悲凉。 人生有当下,还有远方。旅行,早已成为我的信念,是照进琐碎生活的一丝光亮。每隔一段时间,放下工作,放下压力,放下朝九晚五,去遥远的地方放逐一下,再回来时,便已是神清气爽,连平凡生活也换成了美好模样,不觉房价很高,客户很烦,压力很大。 但现在,我必须得做出妥协,与我的身体。 “你一定是以前户外水线走得太多,湿气过重”,“户外睡帐篷时,即使有防潮垫,湿气依然很重”。。。身边朋友帮我找着各种看似合理的解释。但不管原因为何,现在我要做的是暂停旅行,暂停行走。 人生都有阶段性的,不是吗?也许这是我的身体在向我发出的警告。我只是暂时停下来,休息一下而已。远方,永远在前方。我如此安慰自己。 当旅行暂停时,还好我有照片可以怀念,还有文字可以书写。 所以,现在,让我用文字来开始一段旅行吧。。。 D1(12-29) 上海浦东——柬埔寨暹粒暹粒,第一次看见“暹”这个字,我甚至不知该如何发音。问十个人,也许九个人不知“暹”字该如何读,而八个人不知“暹粒”又是何地?你不知暹粒,但你一定知道吴哥。如果你要去吴哥,那你一定得先飞暹粒,吴哥的门户。2012年元旦前夕,小美丽说,"我们去吴哥吧,元旦去吴哥,天气最凉爽。" 每年的11月至次年2月,是吴哥的旱季,也是最凉爽的季节,自然也是旅游旺季。3月开始气温上升,而5月-10月,便进入闷热潮湿的雨季,最高温度可达40多度。无奈时间太仓促,即使计划买大韩航空的机票从韩国绕过去,机票也很贵。那一年元旦,我们放弃了吴哥,我却开始对吴哥心心念念。2013年春秋开通了上海直飞暹粒的航线,我就盘算着,一定要去吴哥。待过了吴哥漫长的雨季,我依旧把去吴哥的时间定在了元旦。还在浦东机场候机,心里已是春暖花开。和蟋蟀头自拍一张,分享到微信朋友圈:“又一次出发,到温暖的地方过新年去!”Tips:办理去柬埔寨的证非常方便,在网上申请电子证,25美元/人,3个工作日即可收到证的PDF电子版本,打印出来,贴在护照上即可。申请电子证网址:https//evisa.mfaic.gov.kh/Default.aspx 直飞的好处便是,4个多小时后,我们已抵达柬埔寨国际机场。柬埔寨的海关人员会索要小费,已是公开秘密。”把1美元准备好,夹在护照里“,很多人的攻略会如是告诉你。但我不准备给他们小费。我们都有合法的入境证,凭什么还要给海关人员小费?排队等候入关。我前面一正在办理入关手续的中国男人,忽然转过身对他的同伴喊道:“他们要我交10元钱,你们有吗?””你就和他说no money!“未等他的同伴给他钱,我的话已喊出了口。那海关人员向我看了看,又低下了头。我想了想,为避免他可能的刁难,我干脆换了个通道排队。轮到我时,我递上护照。海关员接过护照,眼睛也没抬,只喃喃地用中文说了句:"10元人民币。”“NO,” 这次,我的回答更简单。他啥也没说,只低着头把我的护照翻来覆去看。你就慢慢看吧,反正我不会给你钱的。我心里暗暗想着。磨蹭许久后,他叫我把右手放到一个指纹记录仪上,停留许久,再换左手,又停留许久。“NO~~NO” 他嘴里一边咕哝着,一边继续磨蹭着。我安静地等在柜台前,我就不信,不给他小费,他就不让我通行?最后,他终于在我护照上盖好章,把护照递还给我。我心里偷笑,接过护照,赶紧离开。下一个是蟋蟀头了,海关人员也对他说了同样的话,“10元人民币,” 他也用“NO”直接回绝了海关人员。我估计这位海关人员心里已是极度不爽,失去耐心,只让蟋蟀头放了一只手记录指纹,就让他通过了。据说,柬埔寨海关人员的索贿都是中国人培养出来的。如果真是如此,那就让我们每个中国人从NO开始,断绝掉他们这种劣根性。 走出机场时,旅馆派来接我们的车夫已拿着写有我名字的纸牌候在外面。住三晚以上,旅馆便提供免费的接机服务。我们将在暹粒住七晚,便理所当然享受了旅馆的这项免费服务。车夫叫Bunny,我们在暹粒相处了整整六天,我却是在最后一天才知他的名字。当时,Bunny对我们来说,只是一个临时来接机的车夫而已,我们并没想到在暹粒的六天,都将与他在一起,甚至还去了他家里。坐上他的TUTU车时,“take photo?” Bunny问我。他这么喜欢拍照吗?我一边觉得奇怪,一边把镜头对准他。“No,我是问是否需要我帮你俩拍张照?” Bunny摇着手,知道我误解了他的意思。真逗,这漆黑的夜里,帮我俩拍照?但我还是把相机递给他,于是,借着路灯的余光,有了我俩这张初来乍到的照片。 预订的旅馆Avie Moriya Villa(阿维莫莉亚别墅),还真是一幢两层楼的别墅,只有几个房间。老板是个意大利人,据说很nice很幽默。房价不贵,住7晚仅226美元,相当于人民币1377元。出发前一个月我才订房,可能正值旅游旺季的缘故,很多酒店房间都早已预订一空,包括朋友推荐的Motherhome Inn。找到Avie Moriya Villa属巧合,位置好,离老市场近,而且它的网上评分还很高。只是,不到200元一晚的房间,多少让我有点担心。这种担心,直到热情的服务生把我们领进房间,才终于解除。房间虽简单,却很干净,而且还有免费的wifi。蟋蟀头说肚子饿了,要外出觅食。于是,行李放下,我们便再次出门,坐上Bunny的tutu车,让他送我们去酒吧街。当然,Bunny并非免费送我们,他要求收费2美元。在柬埔寨,主要使用的货币是美元,从购物到吃饭的所有消费。而当地货币瑞尔Riel,一般只用来找零。美元与瑞尔有个固定汇率0.1USD=400Riel,通常只有用到1美元以下时,瑞尔才派上用场 。既然一切都用美元支付,所以,柬浦寨的消费并不便宜。2美元,差不多13元人民币,上海出租车的起步价,可以坐3公里。而我们坐Bunny的tutu车,仅几分钟而已,便已到了酒吧街。如此一来,是不是比上海都贵?但当时我没有2美元的零钱,掏出一张100美元,Bunny说,明天付吧。明天,已和他约好,下午送我们去买吴哥的门票。他就不怕我们明天爽约,不坐他的tutu车?我心里暗想。但可能正因为他这种相信,我们也都很诚信。信任与否,从来都是相互的。 酒吧街并非如想像中那般人头攒动、人声鼎沸,毕竟已是午夜时分,喝了酒的人,也大多回房休息了。但五彩的霓虹,震耳的音乐,还是和之前寂静的夜色形成鲜明的反差。“要不要去喝一杯?” 蟋蟀头问我。“不要。”我知道他故意这样问,他其实从来不爱喝酒。我们是来找吃的。但这些光鲜亮丽的酒吧,提供的除了酒水还是酒水。 酒吧街并不长,50米左右,穿行而过后,灯光便黯淡下来,稀稀拉拉摆着一些路边摊。从旅馆出来时,已向服务生打听过,夜里是否安全?即使得到服务生肯定的答复,蟋蟀头仍然一百个不放心,即使要吃路边摊,也一定要找个灯光明亮点的地方。我们还真找到一处明亮的角落。小食摊的玻璃橱窗上竟写着四个斗大的中文:牛肉河粉。“finish,finish!”橱窗后的一个男人对我说道。我站在小食摊前,探头往里张望着,可能看得太过专心,竟对他说的“finish” 充耳不闻。和蟋蟀头商量下,我便对老板说道,“要两份牛肉河粉。”“finish !” 老板大声地再次重申。哦,原来已经卖完,结束营业了。但之前我居然把“finish”听成“fish”,以为他在向我推销鱼了!真是三滴汗啊。 他家已结束营业,但紧挨着他家的另一个食摊,小妹仍在忙碌中。依然点了两份炒河粉,蟋蟀头的牛肉河粉和我的蔬菜河粉。每份2美元。在东南亚旅行的好处便是,与国内的食物差异不大,不会让人在饮食上感觉难以适应。用筷子吃河粉的时候,有点时光错乱的感觉。我们真的已经在柬埔寨呢? 见我在拍照,一老外突然跳过来,张大手臂,做个怪脸,挡在我镜头前面。然后,我俩都哈哈大笑。嗯,我想,我们的确已在柬埔寨了。饭后去逛了小食摊旁边的超市,这里日用品一应俱全,成了我俩后来屡次光顾的地方。除了很多商品是made in China,几个中文字也是赫然醒目。 准备返回旅馆时,近凌晨2点,街头依然许多夜不归宿的游客。他们,是这个城市GDP的来源,也使这个城市无论白天还是黑夜,都充满生机。更漆黑的角落,一排排tutu车沿街摆开。比游客还多的tutu车,生意看来并不好做。如此竞争激烈,所以我们只用了一美元,便坐tutu车返回了旅馆。 D2(12-30)巴肯山日落吴哥窟的门票分为三种:一日票$20,三日票$40,七日票$60。下午17点钟买票后便可马上进去,免费获得一个傍晚,去巴肯山或者吴哥看日落。所以,这一天,我们除了下午430出发去买吴哥门票,然后去巴肯山看日落外,并没有特别安排。于是,便安安心心地睡到自然醒。一觉醒来时,已是中午。从二楼的阳台上往外望去,除了电线太过扎眼外,街上空无一人,安静得有点过分。但这就是暹粒,白天游客们都散落到吴哥的丛林中,只有傍晚以后才陆续归城。所以,白天的暹粒永远都是寂寞的。 昨晚抵达时,夜色漆黑,完全不知我们住的这幢楼啥模样。现在下楼后,才算把这幢Avie Moriya Villa(阿维莫莉亚别墅)看清楚。外墙涂成淡黄色的小楼,看上去倒是分为雅致。二楼阳台上挂着柬埔寨国旗和红白绿的意大利国旗,看来老板的确是个意大利人。只是,旅馆里依然不见他的踪影。我对他有点好奇,为何要到这里来开一家廉价旅馆?这点房费,怎么算起来都不算什么高收入。蟋蟀头说,你以为老外都很有钱吗?说不定他在意大利也就一穷人。 出门时,已是下午两点半,准备走路去老市场吃午饭。看了酒店名片后面的地图,老市场与酒吧街相距很近。蟋蟀头说,你跟我走就行。“你确信你可以找到?”我有点怀疑。虽然昨晚坐tutu车去酒吧街吃过饭,但我依然毫无方向感。“我确信。”蟋蟀头的语气里,倒全是自信。于是,我俩就这样出门溜达了。 “我们现在走的路,比昨晚绕了一下。我只是想看看,这边又是什么样?”蟋蟀头说道,就好像他曾经来过似的。我依旧半信半疑,甚至中途还去问了两个路人,但证明我俩的确一直走在正确的方向。“你知道这是哪吗?”将近20分钟后,蟋蟀头指着一条街的入口。“不知道。”我摇了摇头。“这就是酒吧街啊!”“酒吧街?但为什么和昨晚的酒吧街没有一点相似之处呢?”我不相信。但很快,我发现路牌上写着Pub street。“因为这是酒吧街的另一头。”蟋蟀头非常淡定地说道。现在,我对他的方向感,佩服得五体投地。只是,酒吧街的白天与黑夜,反差实在很大。但为何街头有这么多警察呢?有什么事情发生吗?和警察叔叔确认了下,与酒吧街平行的另一条街道便是老市场。攻略说,老市场集中了很多餐厅。但当我站在这里时,眼前所见与想像中完全不一样。左边一排简陋的小吃摊,散发出来的浓烈腥味,让我只想赶快逃离。后来去这后面逛了一下,原来小吃摊的后面是个菜市场,难怪气味难闻。路右边的餐厅,看上去就精致许多。我很少按别人的推荐去寻找美食,因为在吃这件事上,我从来认为是仁者见仁,智者见智。毕竟每个人的口味不一样,要求也不一样。美食,凭自己的感觉去寻觅就好。就比如这家放满绿植的餐厅,蓝色的桌椅、异域风情的桌布,明亮绮丽的颜色搭配,一入眼,我就挪不动脚了。 餐厅不仅装修考究,连服务员也很漂亮。点餐后,等候上菜时,蟋蟀头让小姑娘坐在桌子一边,给她拍照。我俩是餐厅唯一的客人,所以小姑娘很大方地应允了。她的眼睛大大的,笑的时候特别美。 饭前饮料,一定是每人一个新鲜椰汁。在泰国时,我们是如此习惯;到了柬埔寨,依然如此。同是椰汁,但柬埔寨和泰国的又有所不同。柬埔寨的椰子虽块头大,但椰汁却不如泰国的甘甜,味道偏淡。而且柬埔寨的椰汁比泰国的贵许多,柬埔寨一般$2(相当于人民币12元),而泰国仅10泰铢(相当于人民币2元)。如此一比较,感觉柬埔寨的消费比泰国贵了许多。 我们这顿饭是传统的柬埔寨美食。我的Amok fish 和蟋蟀头的Beef Lok Lak。Amok是当地的一种植物,用它的叶子裹着鱼肉或鸡肉或牛肉,再加上椰奶、咖喱粉、姜黄粉、柠檬香草等调料,在火上蒸熟。选择不同的主食料,便是不同的Amok,所以有了Amok fish、Amok beef、Amok chicken。也许暹粒边上就是洞里萨湖的缘故,所以鱼肉的Amok最为有名。而Beef Lok Lak则是用炒好的牛肉配上柬埔寨特有的烤肉酱。点餐时,我对蟋蟀头说,“我想吃鱼,可是。。。”我喜欢吃鱼,可是因为湿疹的缘故,已经戒鱼很久了。“那就点吧。吃了再说。”蟋蟀头二话不说,帮我做了决定。他就是这样,永远知道我在想什么,不管我是话只说了一半,还是什么也没说。他只是看情况,帮我把想说的话说出来而已。 我对这家餐厅的桌布和桌巾一见倾心,这就是传说中的纱笼布吗?我立即把它列入我的购物清单,只是,直到离开柬埔寨,也再没看见这么漂亮的桌布。 吃完饭,已近下午4点,得赶紧往回走了,因为和Bunny有约,1630来旅馆接我俩。回去时,蟋蟀头说带我走近路,即昨晚我们坐tutu车的路线,居然只用了十分钟左右,我们便走回了旅馆。一路上,见到许多候客的tutu车停靠在路边,也有许多tutu车司机主动过来招呼我们。尽管是旅游旺季,似乎tutu车的生意也难做啊。所以,当我们回到旅馆,看见Bunny已笑脸盈盈地等候在大门口时,便一点也不奇怪了。后来要离开暹粒时,我问蟋蟀头,为何我们从来没向其他tutu车司机打听过价格呢?不货比三家,就选择了Bunny,这似乎没有道理。“这要问你自己了。”蟋蟀头回答我。 1630,准时出发。当时 ,只与Bunny谈好这个傍晚的车费$5:送我们去买门票,然后送我们去巴肯山看日落,最后把我们送回旅馆。 旅馆到售票处并不远,tutu车过去十多分钟就到了。实际上,暹粒本就是个小城,城区到呈哥窟十多分钟,到机场也是十多分钟而已。幅员广阔的是茫茫丛林,以及丛林中的寺庙。吴哥的门票很有纪念意义,因为会现场为每个人拍一张照片印在门票上,于是,每张门票都成了个人专属。最值得一提的是,在通货膨胀的今天,吴哥的门票这十年来都没有任何变化。十年前的三天票是$40,现在依然是同样价格。 买完门票后,我们便直奔巴肯山。中途路过吴哥寺,远远地便能看见人山人海。我倒吸一口气,这么多人,我们如何拍摄日落?对巴肯山的日落,我似乎有了不好的预感。Bunny把车停在巴肯山下,指着不远处的一条山路说道,“你们就从那儿上山吧,我在山下等你们。”放眼看去,上巴肯山的游客也不少。我有点担心,山下这么多人,我们能在人群中找到Bunny吗?或者说,Bunny会找到我们吗?但实际上,我的担心有点多余,Bunny从来没有错过我们,他总是在我们从寺庙出来的第一时间向我们挥手。 在上山的入口处,有个伤残人士组成的民乐团在演奏,我大概看了下介绍,他们自称是地雷的受害者,请求募捐。后来我们在吴哥的每个遗迹入口处,都有看到这样的乐团。柬埔寨曾有举世闻名的吴哥文明,但也曾遭遇几十年的战乱。从1945的抗法战争到后来的内战,几十年的战争让柬埔寨变得满目疮痍。战争中埋下的1000多万颗地雷,比其人口还多,约占全球地雷总数的十分之一。因地雷遍布太广,数量太多,已成为延续至今最大的威胁,给柬埔寨人民带来巨大灾难,被地雷炸伤的人数远大于被炸死的人数。从1991年10月23日“巴黎和平协议”订后,联合国开始往柬埔寨派驻扫雷部队,但据说,要清除柬埔寨所有的地雷,需上百年甚至更长的时间。坏消息是,柬埔寨每天依然有平民被地雷所伤;但好消息是,我们游客去的地方,地雷都已清理干净。只要你走在有路的地方,就不用担心地雷。我放了钱在他们的募捐盒里。后来,每看到这样的乐团,我俩都会捐钱。有人说,有些乐团是假装成地雷受害者,只为骗取钱财。但不管怎样,我相信他们是真的。在神的领地,你敢说谎吗?为了赶上落日,我俩快步向山上走去。巴肯山虽为山,但并不高,高度仅65米,与吴哥窟的高度相近。尽管如此,它也是吴哥区域的制高点之一,所以,它总是被人们列为看日出或日落的地方。爬上山,我俩仅用了十分钟。但一上山,我傻眼了,举目望去,除了人还是人。随着人流往前走,有工作人员在维持秩序,要求大家排成一列,排队上山。抬头,仰望,矗立在山顶的巴肯寺,高高在上。虽然神庙底部大多坍塌,但屹立在山顶的它,依然气势不减。高棉人崇拜山,山与山神,是他们的原始信仰。真腊王朝的国王耶输跋摩一世登基后,把都城从洞里萨湖边的罗洛士迁至吴哥所在的一片平原,并在巴肯山上建立了第一座国庙。巴肯在当时不仅是王朝的中心,也成为婆罗门世界的宇宙中心——
