黎明前,天空是深邃的蓝,云朵是更深的蓝几近乌黑色。远处的特拉维夫城区亦然灯火通明,一副未睡的姿态等待苏醒。or在后座睡着了,想起离开托姆父母家时,狗儿图逖低着脑袋慢摇着身体轻声挪到我身边,or说图逖想和你说再见。 出境的安检复杂了许多,托姆和我先是接受了五分钟左右的问话,分别是希伯来文和英文。随后是旅客配合打开所有行李。安保人员严肃的脸孔,手持探测器对行李箱内每一件物品一遍遍逐一仔细探测检查,如有在以色列境内接受任何礼物须事先说明,这些物品将拿到一旁进行更复杂的检查。安保人员直到随我去值机柜台出了登机牌,行李放上传送带,他才离开。清晨六点半,免税店已经开始营业,取了退税的现金在店里为家人挑选了巧克力。 这天的地中海很静很蓝一如二十二天前到达那日。----------------------------------------------/ 离开以色列/ 以色列安全吗?/ 首都特拉维夫印象/ 到北部(戈兰高地,约旦河、加利利湖)旅行/ 耶路撒冷的生活/ 南部埃拉特珊瑚礁潜水/ 加沙地带旁阿什克隆市的犹太家庭聚会/ 以色列消费水平/ 死海 恩盖迪国家公园../ 续..-------------------- 未经本人书面同意,任何形式媒体不得以任何形式转载本图文 -------------------(该声明原因:并不是因为不想和大家分享这个行程,发帖本身就是想和大家分享的) 这个声明原因是,以前常有网站自行替我注册ID并在未事先通知本人及获取同意的情况下便使用文章和其它行为,所以才有此声明,请大家谅解! ) -------------------------------------------------------- 清晨航班的缘故,飞机上人极少,空下了小半个客舱。 起飞时,北京城还沉睡在黑夜中。旁边的座位是无人的,于是我可以以舒服的姿势半躺在两个座椅上。这样的优待使我在回程航班拥挤的客舱内时甚是想念。隔壁座位的以色列姐妹儿横躺在三个座椅上,从起飞直睡到基辅落地。 临窗俯瞰,地中海是一大片无暇的湛蓝,飞临以色列首都特拉维夫市时,已经隐约可见海滨沙滩上星星点点的人群。本古安机场落地,没有经历传闻中极其复杂的入境过程,只是接受了简洁而严肃的入境闻讯后便可取行李然后出了航站楼。托姆在出口处等候着,车直接开往耶路撒冷。窗外,日落时分的橙红色光线照射在这片土地上,很美。---------------------https//file12.top100.cn/201208241327/81EE779445F42599BC61BB75F8B3E092/Special_241403/Strong%20World.mp3 ------------------------------------以色列State of Israel 以色列(希伯来语:מ6;דִ497;נַ1514;יִ3;ְׂ512;4;488;ֵל希伯来语中意为“与神角力者”,阿拉伯语3;َ1608;1618;ل¡4;ةْ;إِ;س618;رَائ¡6;ي;ل‎)是一个位于西亚黎凡特地区的国家,位于地中海的东南方向,北靠黎巴嫩、东濒叙利亚和约旦、西南边则是埃及。以色列在1948年宣布独立建国,目前人口已超过700万,主要来自犹太人族群,也是世界上唯一以犹太人为主体的国家。以色列是中东地区最为工业化、经济发展程度最高的国家,拥有该地区管理最良善、对财产权利保护最佳的经济体制。(摘自百度)到达耶路撒冷的第二天傍晚和托姆到住处附近的sacher公园散步,对这个陌生国家的一切都很好奇。 sacher公园拍摄------------------- 耶路撒冷历史悠久,为以色列和巴勒斯坦共同的首都,大多数国家认为该市的最终地位尚未确定,有待以色列和巴勒斯坦双方谈判决定。现多数国家将驻以大使馆设在特拉维夫市。今天耶路撒冷仍然是巴以冲突的中心。耶路撒冷为以色列最大的城市,同时是犹太教、基督教、伊斯兰教三大亚伯拉罕教(或称“三大天启宗教”)的圣地。 sacher公园拍摄 耶路撒冷是一座用石头建筑在山上的城市,寂静肃穆却又偶尔透露着温暖的气质。有八角街一样环绕曲折迂回的巷子,却有着更深邃的寂静。sacher公园附近拍摄 ----------------------------------- 待在住处一整天,能听到的便是隔着半米左右宽的巷道对面犹太教祈祷室内的吟诵声,唯有末了一句“哈里路亚”听得明白。此外便是偶尔一两路人经过脚步磨搓石板地面的声音和流浪猫喵咪的叫声。这样的静,让人喜欢。 --------------------- 以色列安全吗? 弟弟和朋友们看新闻联播,舆论升级时他们的担忧也随之升级,和另一个国家的战争听起来一触即发。对父母只轻描淡写说会出国旅行一阵子。我是不看新闻节目的,所以于我没有战争也没有国际局势的紧张。如果你相信,在以色列期间我没有哪怕一次的害怕或神经紧张过,因为我所见的是一幅人们再正常不过的生活画卷,丰富而富有魅力更充满着希望和欢乐。以色列朋友们也谈论这场或许会在夏天到来的战争,用平和而普通的语气。我生活在中国,从未担心过某一天会有一场战争,而领土的辽阔也提供了国民殷实的安全感。托姆和他的朋友们,他们的心境我是很难真切理解的。 以色列实行普遍义务兵役制,坚持“全民皆兵”的原则。凡年满18—29周岁的男性公民、18—24周岁的女性公民,无特殊情况,都要应征服现役。其中男子的服役期为3年,女子的服役期为2年。服役期满后,除少数特殊需要继续服现役外,其他人员一律转为预备役。 坐巴士时通常会和这些持枪的服役青年同车;餐厅用餐时或许会坐在邻桌;超市冷柜选食物时发现你们都喜欢同一种巧克力冰淇淋。这些持枪的男女大多是正在服兵役的青年。朋友静睁大了眼很好奇,他们怎么可以扛着枪到处去,车站、超市、商场、咖啡店、广场,任何地方。就像遇见上学的学生,平常而随意。 左边这个黄头发小男孩眼神很诡异哈哈哈:)这些青年很帅很美更是亲和。和所有游客一样,置身其中你并不感觉危险。 朋友们询问时我有试着去总结自己所经历的这个以色列,但终究很难,不擅于也不去定义什么,只是观看。 第二次去哭墙(West Wall),托姆走的很快,我踩着恨天高,下台阶时滑倒摔跤,广场上一组士兵正在等候将举行的某种仪式,是去驻地前的某种爱国教育,关于和伊朗的那场战争或许会在夏天来临。游客以这群荷枪实弹装备的兵士为不错的背景取景拍照,婴孩在推车里,父母带着他们信步徜徉其间,小孩追着广场上的鸽子四处飞舞,以色列国旗帜随风飘扬。 ------------------------------------------- 特拉维夫印象TelAviv Country 特拉维夫—雅法(Tel Aviv- Yafo)通常简称为特拉维夫,是以色列第二大城市。特拉维夫滨临东地中海,是以色列最大的都会区,也是该国人口最稠密的地带。今天,特拉维夫被认为是以色列最为国际化的经济中心,以及所谓“硅溪”(希伯来语: 93;93;88;1;י 1492;סי500;97;ק;3;ן8206;;英语:SilIcon Wadi)地区的心脏。该市具有活跃、摩登、世界主义的特征,被公认是以色列的文化之都。特拉维夫被认为已出现了成为世界级城市的趋势,并被列为中东生活费用最昂贵的大城市。 因为不同于以色列其它任何地方,特立独行的特拉维夫在以色列人民心中冠上TelAviv Country 这个别称,称那是另一个国。特拉维夫中央汽车站附近便是这个城市的贫民区,从汽车站外开始便偶尔可闻尿骚味,这种感觉……。因为是正午,所以在这一区行走还很安全,晚上倒是另一副样貌了,偷盗抢劫卖淫,托姆说真的会很危险。之后是特拉维夫的富人区,乍看很普通也不会引起人的注意,葡萄牙和德国建筑风格,家门前停些靠谱的车。 滨海大道老雅法都通通快速走马观花,直到向希望让我看到更多地方的托姆发出抗议停止这样无意义的行走。海边阳光很好,有微微的海风,这样坐在草坪看大家跑步骑车拍打乐鼓散步冲浪狗狗游泳,这就足够快乐。----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 弹吉他,恋爱,睡大觉 亲吻,亲吻,更多的亲吻 特拉维夫的建筑 特拉维夫的建筑回复 MAYA` 的帖子这个我不太确定:)但从他们的农业来看,在那样的荒漠环境发展却很好,科技技术必须高。接触的以色列朋友也大多从事工业设计及其他高科方面工作,所以大概答案是是的:) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------到北部旅行(Golan Heights and Sea of Galilee ) 逾越节的关系,托姆和朋友们有了两个礼拜假期,我们计划一次到北部戈兰高地的旅行。 戈兰高地位于以色列和叙利亚的交界处,分属两个国家。北起谢赫山南坡,南到雅尔穆克河河谷,总面积为1860平方公里。戈兰高地具有丰富的水资源,被称为中东地区的“水塔”,以色列国内使用的40%的水源都来自这里。高地南部为农耕区,北部的谢赫山麓为林木和灌丛所覆盖的牧场。 若是我,两天的旅行肯定只带个小包就颠颠儿走掉,托姆他们却不一样,车厢后部严实地挤满各种装备和大包大箱,起初我是觉得有兴师动众的,约瑟还蠢蠢欲动打算挂架他的哈雷机车。近戈兰高地,景色更加精致起来,不像随意所为,倒像高尔夫球场那般一花一树一草坪的位置都经过认真的设计。------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------https//file4.top100.cn/201206091245/DDC9CADE7DC7FA2D2DC30C363F8C798A/Special_106417/The%20Sharing%20Song.mp3 --------------- 夜,月亮很低很近。亚利吾拔弹着吉它,篝火燃的很旺,托姆和朋友们用希伯来文交谈,偶尔放声大笑,偶尔用英文问Lin, how about it ,烤牛排很美味,河岸某处有奇怪的鸟叫,晚风拂过。 清晨早些时候有醒过来片刻,朦胧的睡眼外是柔和的光线,绿色和橙色印花扶椅草地都有些歪斜,在它们后面的天空,云彩是粉色的。([]

记得当时,我爱秦淮,偶离故乡.向梅根冶后,几番啸傲;杏花村里,几度倘徉.凤止高梧,虫吟小榭,也共时人较短长.今已矣!把衣冠蝉蜕,濯足沧浪. 无聊且酌霞觞,唤几个新知醉一场.共百年易过,底须愁闷?千秋事大,也费商量.江左烟霞,淮南耆旧,写入残编总断肠!从今后,伴药炉经卷,自礼空王!吴敬梓《儒林外史》虽说日子是这样的一天一天在累积,猛然一回头,发现自己在外漂泊了70天,从尼泊尔开始,到印度,马来西亚,最后从泰国飞了回去,说到“回去”二字,顿时有一种不知是哭是笑的感情涌上来。也许最痛苦的,莫过于回忆美好时光。 本篇上接《尼泊尔。浮世,天堂》https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1296378-1-1.html 处于慢慢更新中,可能大部分都是文字很少图片。来印度的第一天,一天进了两回印度。印度和尼泊尔的边境也太随意了,如果不仔细找移民局盖章,真的会直接走了过去都不知道。一路尘土飞扬,都是大货车排队停在那里,尼泊尔这边的大叔给我们盖了章,印度那边的大叔又给我们盖了章,等等,怎么过来印度这边完全没看到换外汇的地方呢!问盖章的大叔,他大手一指,于是我们心里有点忐忐忑忑,但是还是越过了边境走回尼泊尔那一边换汇,把身上的NPR全都换成INR再回到印度这一边,相当于一天来了两次印度。从边境看,我们都没发现印度有什么极品的,略感失望,本以为越过边境就是另外一个世界了,有无限的文化震惊什么的,实际上却什么也没有,我们就这样坐上了从sonauli去gorakhpur的汽车,没有Lonely Planet,没有任何人告诉我印度是怎样的,对印度的地理,历史,人文,几乎没有任何了解,仅仅是在lumbini遇到的哥哥建议我在varanASI住久美子guesthouse,我们不知道怎样从gorakhpur去varanasi,甚至在尼泊尔我已经把正常人穿的衣服几乎都扔掉了只剩一件纱丽一件kulta和一件T恤了,就这样一无所有一无所知地往印度冲。一坐上车,立刻可以体会到印度的极品,首先这车也太挤了吧,天气又热,我跟学长两个人被挤在一个人的座位上,我的腿完全被埋没在旁边大娘的纱丽底下,然而不幸的是我旁边就是发动机,因此在两个小时的行进过程中我的腿一直是处于被红焖快要熟了的状态,有时候我觉得是不是掀开她的纱丽我的腿就焖得可以吃了!热得受不了但是又挤得动不了,背后的车窗玻璃脏到不行,阳光毫无保留地洒在我的背上,要知道我的kulta衣服背后领子开得不是一般的大,这次肯定晒出个大月牙来了,以后不妨叫我背后包青天。旁边的阿姨抱着个孩子拉着个孩子,小的孩子看起来也就还不会走路的样子,让我惊讶的是她就那样拿出一瓶可口可乐给孩子喝,然后孩子自己抓着瓶子喝得很开心的样子,喝完又给大一点的孩子喝。我心里暗叹印度人真是开挂,我们喝奶的年龄人家就喝可乐了!也不怕血糖过高!阿姨旁边的小媳妇,显然就是刚结婚不久,手上的海娜画得那叫一个繁复,裹了一身红纱丽,一身各种珠光宝气,可是我就是感觉这些都是假的不知道为什么。一坐上车,立刻可以体会到印度的极品,首先这车也太挤了吧,天气又热,我跟学长两个人被挤在一个人的座位上,我的腿完全被埋没在旁边大娘的纱丽底下,然而不幸的是我旁边就是发动机,因此在两个小时的行进过程中我的腿一直是处于被红焖快要熟了的状态,有时候我觉得是不是掀开她的纱丽我的腿就焖得可以吃了!热得受不了但是又挤得动不了,背后的车窗玻璃脏到不行,阳光毫无保留地洒在我的背上,要知道我的kulta衣服背后领子开得不是一般的大,这次肯定晒出个大月牙来了,以后不妨叫我背后包青天。旁边的阿姨抱着个孩子拉着个孩子,小的孩子看起来也就还不会走路的样子,让我惊讶的是她就那样拿出一瓶可口可乐给孩子喝,然后孩子自己抓着瓶子喝得很开心的样子,喝完又给大一点的孩子喝。我心里暗叹印度人真是开挂,我们喝奶的年龄人家就喝可乐了!也不怕血糖过高!阿姨旁边的小媳妇,显然就是刚结婚不久,手上的海娜画得那叫一个繁复,裹了一身红纱丽,一身各种珠光宝气,可是我就是感觉这些都是假的不知道为什么。吃完我们决定还是打个人力车去巴士站,人力车夫满口答应说50INR到巴士站,我感觉吃完了心情还蛮好的,看看路边的风景也不错,50也还算是个合理的价格。到了巴士站我递了一张100INR的票子过去,车夫完全没有找钱的意思,我说你找钱啊!这时候他就装聋作哑假装听不懂我说什么。如果是在varanasi,我肯定早就一巴掌糊过去了,但是这时候我还没有从尼泊尔的软妹子模式调整过来,我就朝着他大吼说湿婆会惩罚你的,显然这句话的震慑力实在太差,他继续耍无赖不找钱给我,我心里想着反正50INR不是什么大数目,还是算了吧。就气呼呼转身走了,便宜这个被湿婆惩罚的2B了。坐在去varanasi的车上我越想越气,以后肯定还会遇到更多这样的情况,不行这里是印度了,我不能做软妹子了!要把自己调整为硬妹模式了!于是我就变形金刚变身,亚古兽进化,皮卡丘跳出精灵球,柯南喝白酒变身工藤新一了!心里的疯子开始咆哮:老娘再也不是软妹子再也不玩小清新了哦哈哈哈哈哈哈哈!!!! 尽管我在车上表面上看没啥变化,但是内心已经开始召唤铁甲硬妹上身!但是这样也没用,因为印度的local bus就是会让你再硬的妹子也会无限蛋疼的!首先就是没多远的路程,从下午2点一直坐到晚上9点才到,7个小时,天气这么热,在印度的脏得不成样子椅子垫都是破的黑的脏得看不出颜色的巴士上,满地都是垃圾,前后左右的人把食物残渣随便扔在地上,再加上无数人踩来踩去,地上无数黑漆漆不知道是什么的东西,一瓶冰水过几分钟就变成热水,变成了热水就不想再喝抱着贴在身上都觉得热。外面的热风吹进来带进来的都是土,渐渐地觉得脖子脸和胳膊上都可以搓出泥来,但是巴士就是这样不紧不慢地开,路绵绵不断总看不到尽头。最恶心的是坐前排的女人往外吐痰,因为巴士太破窗户都不见了,总感觉她吐痰的时候会有不明液体飘到我脸上,好吧我抹掉,就当是下雨了!坐着坐着就睡着了,醒来发现已经天黑了,隔一条过道的旁边坐的一个男的一直像个2货一样盯着我看,一动不动地盯着,盯得我全身发毛,我试着不理他,但是他就像被固定在那里一样一直盯着我,过了半小时我觉得这样不行啊!他盯着我我怎么可以输给他!于是我开始对他吐舌头没想到毫无效果,我又换成做鬼脸,还是没效果!我想这样不行啊!我要出杀手锏了!于是我就假装挖鼻孔,然后挖完舔一下手指,结果竟然还是毫!无!效!果!他还是直勾勾盯着我看眼睛都不眨一下……我忽然感觉我就是个彻头彻尾的撸瑟!纯在耍猴给他看了!再做什么夸张的事情也是自取其辱了!!对这样的人还是不理他算了!这个2货在继续盯了我2小时后终于下车了,他走的时候我简直要烧香磕头鞠躬了!拥有这种可怕的毅力他为什么不去跑马拉松,拿去赚钱也足够成为百万富翁了,何必坐在一个破巴士上盯着一个女生看几小时呢,这是我遇到的第一个神经病的阿三,此后每天都遇到千千万万都没法一一列举了。晃了7小时到varanasi的时候已经快疯掉,汽车站外面又是一圈人力车夫和tutu车司机,跟一个人力车夫谈好了50INR到main ghat的久美子guesthouse,又是50,为了防止被坑爹,一坐上人力车我就像忘了吃药的狂躁症一样对他大吼:“You should drive us directly to main ghat ,or I’ll fuckin’ kill you !(直接把爷送到main ghat去,不然爷削你丫的)”车夫唯唯诺诺,我最讨厌这种态度!果然到一半他开始向我们推荐其他地方,我又是一番大吼,他吓得只有点头说是。相同的戏码又再次上演几次,他已经被我吓得再也不敢多说什么,哪怕中途他其实并不知道路去问路也被我大吼说问快一点别磨磨蹭蹭,学长在旁边都被我的硬妹风范吓了一跳,但是我没办法,在varanasi这欺软怕硬的地方你不坑爹就是被爹坑,还是主动一点先给他个下马威。车夫骑到main ghat我给他刚刚好50,绝对不能让他再找钱,他本想再多说什么,我一个眼神就把他吓回去了,看他在街边跟其他车夫聊天,估计是在吐槽今天的这位蛮横的客户和根本骗不到钱的悲惨遭遇吧!我们并不知道久美子guesthouse在哪里,走近小巷每个人都说在前面在前面,第一次接触varanasi,只是觉得巷子里灯光是红色的,地上几乎铺满了牛粪每走一步都要踩到,而且苍蝇也实在太多了吧!走几步就有苍蝇撞在脸上和撞在身上!因为数量太多了实在是飞不开躲不掉人类只能撞上了!跌跌撞撞经历了无数个“5分钟后就到”,终于看见久美子guesthouse就在眼前了,前台的日印混血小哥说60INR一个晚上,也就是7块5RMB,绝对是我人生住过的除了沙发客最便宜的地方了!小哥带着我们又绕过几个全是牛屎的门洞带我们进了一处房子,然后指着窄窄的,黑漆漆的楼梯说:“上去吧。”于是这里就是我和学长今晚所要休息的地方了。我已经脏得什么也顾不得了,只要有个地方给我洗澡就行了。于是我就把包随便丢在屋子里直接去洗澡,因此没有第一时间发现久美子guesthouse是多么的极品!洗完澡出来才有时间仔细端详这个房间,原来屋子里感觉这么热不是因为我刚从外面跑进来,是屋子里本身就比外面热个好几度,应该是在37°到40°之间吧!三楼就是我们住的混住宿舍,打通的有三间房,共同点就是里面的床都脏得都不想坐在上面,到处是蚂蚁爬来爬去,墙壁上到处都是各种诡异的涂鸦,不得不承认有些真的画得很有水平,但是也有些各种三俗不入流或者约伴抽大麻orgy party什么的。书架上全是日文书,跟目光平齐的那层主要是各种不良少年极恶犯罪恐怖传说鬼故事之类的书,下面一层更让人哭笑不得的五花八门,主要是一些魔术秘法成仙指南还有奥姆真理教宣传册子,口味之重真让人卧了个槽。窗户是监狱式的铁栅栏,看出去是路灯下黑漆漆的恒河和河上的船。我忽然觉得真想笑,竟然找来这样的一个极品地方,住一晚人生都圆满了。屋子里还住着一些日本的妹子和汉子,估计他们也热得受不了都在天台聊天不肯下来,我跟学长精神都快被摧垮了没心情再聊什么,铺上尼泊尔的圆圆留给我的薄薄的信封式睡袋我就在热得半睡半醒间有可能睡着了。早上应该才5点多我就醒来了,因为实在是热得再也睡不着了,看着同屋的几乎所有人还在呼呼大睡我只有表示他们跟印度人一样是开挂的,走上屋顶,发现一个日本哥哥已经坐在那里了,风还算清凉,太阳正从恒河的对岸升起,我竟然就这样误打误撞地看到了恒河日出,如果我事先不知道它是一条充满死漂儿和各种屎尿的河,我真的会觉得这样的日出是很美的,既然知道了,显然会影响欣赏美景的心情,不过我依然认为恒河的日出是在varanasi不得不看的风景。久美子占着河边这样一个好位置,提供这么便宜的一个床位,如果你是一个神经病,真的会觉得这个地方很美好,适合天天住下去。叫醒学长去吃我们在印度的第一餐早饭,街边的类似于煎饼果子的饼,不过上面撒的是洋葱和番茄碎,吃起来有点酸酸的,不过绝对不难吃,再喝上一小杯奶茶,只有这样的时刻会觉得varanasi还是很美好的。什么?你看到做煎饼的大叔摸了钱又去摸黄油,摸了黄油又摸煎饼,摸完煎饼再摸钱?忘了吧,这里是印度,他没用牛粪擦盘子已经是对你极大的尊重了。看到很多人都往一个小巷子里走,我们就跟着走进去。红色脚底红色发际线的女子们端着花去礼佛,街边卖槟榔的人很多,一段路熙熙攘攘的,我们努力侧过身子不要撞到人或者不要撞到牛,他们卖一些加了玫瑰花瓣的白色液体,因为搞不清楚是酸奶还是石灰乳,所以都不敢问价格。走着走着到了河边,开始接受印度人最诚挚的问候,也就是每个人必问的那句“where do you from?Japan ,Korea?”你再等下去,就没下文了!拜托!亚洲脸不是只有日本和韩国人才有的!你就不能多一个中国选项么!于是我说我来自中国,他们又开始了无穷无尽的おはよう、2504;녕하;세;요,你好,hello。问几次我就烦了,再听见おはよう我就说sawadeeka,他们要花3秒钟时间反应过来,说“aha ! Thailand!”然后他们就可以闭嘴了因为他们除了sawadeeka不会说其他的泰语,这显然是一个防止被阿三整天缠着的好方式,尤其是varanasi的阿三,就跟死都不肯离婚协议的前妻一样那么难缠,好像不用做其他事情一样,每天就呆在恒河边上见到你就说废话。走着走着闻到肉香了,尽管我从来没做过varanasi的任何功课,一看那架势就知道前面是烧尸场了,其实严肃地说是没有肉香的,都是烤糊了的味道。这种重口味的东西吾辈伪小清新一定是要去围观的。还没等走近呢,一群大叔就抬着一个白布包着都是花的东西一边喊口号念经什么的一边经过我们,然后把那东西浸湿在恒河里又抬出来,就那么随意地放在路边,我看见白布开了一点露出一位老者的脸。周围到处扔着往生者身上本身穿着的闪亮亮寿衣还有花,牛和羊在烤得要命的火旁边吃那些花,烧尸体的人大汗淋漓地在撒一把一把助燃的粉末在尸体上,刚烧的尸体都静静地躺着,烧到一半的尸体在滴油(我顿时不想再吃烤肉),差不多烧成灰的尸体,工作人员把火扑灭,在灰堆里翻出一些烧焦的骨头,钳着扔进恒河里,还有把灰装着在恒河里筛的,我不知道在筛什么,舍利子么?感觉他们不是在干这晦气的活儿,而是普普通通的街边烤羊肉串的……沿着河回到久美子,这鬼地方再也不能住下去了,我们忙不迭搬到旁边的OM rest house,这里在varanasi绝对是难得的又干净又整洁的地方,还看见吴苏媚留下的书了。一进OM,看见一个妹子和一个汉子歪在沙发上了,汉子一看就知道是韩国人,上去搭讪妹子竟然是中国人。于是我就这样认识了已经环了东南亚快3个月的vicky,在此就要和学长分别了,我决定和v一起去khajuraho,学长去kolkata。在varanasi这种可怕的卫生条件下,看见满街吃的东西全是Dal和油炸的我真是吃不下,v妹子买了一些菜冻在冰箱里,于是我下厨炒了一个番茄炒蛋还有一个茄子,吃完无所事事但是绝对不想在varanasi的中午出门晃,实在是热得你心都碎!洗完的衣服在天台10分钟就能晾干。傍晚出门去火车站买票,一出了main ghat就是一群车夫围上来叽叽喳喳,恨不得立刻就把我们扯上车。学长说不如我们试着走去火车站,结果走了半小时我们就要疯了!varanasi满街都是乱七八糟,各种各样的人,牛,马不管交通规则乱走,tutu车人力车摩托车汽车都在比赛鸣喇叭,看谁更能把你吵到精神失常,每走几步就会差点被突然出现的各种东西撞到,或者就直接被牛尾巴扫了。值得庆幸的是一路喝了无数的lassi,都蛮好喝的(这时候我还不知道印度牛奶的真相)。最后我们实在受不了了还是打了tutu车去火车站。Varanasi火车站有外国人订票办公室,吹着空调还蛮舒服地我订到了票,后来才发现,这是我在印度第一次也是最后一次订到火车票,之后所有的火车我全都要么没地方睡要么逃了票。作为唯一一次安安分分订到票,还真是好难得呢!在varanasi也没什么特别的事情要做,晚上我们再次走很远的路去看烧尸,路上不断惊叹各种印度极品。到处是随地一睡的人,即使吵得要命光线很强他们也能睡着。还有悠闲在恒河边上吃饭的人,手黑漆漆的没洗过就开吃。最极品就是这边在烧尸体那边在游泳和喝水,对于神经病,我只有目瞪口呆的份儿!v妹子在河边看烧尸还帮忙烧尸烧了快2小时,我和学长受不了那滚滚热浪,就先撤离了。早上去西联换汇,店主大叔是整个varanasi难得的好心人愿意帮我换NPR的,还没开始换呢,刚聊几句他就说要先回家拜神,真诡异竟然还有先回家拜神这种选项么!不用做生意了么?他邀请我跟他一起回家拜神,我就跟着去了。他家有一整间屋子是佛龛,他很认真地跟我讲解各种神各种神,可惜我一个也没听懂,他拿起勺子舀一个小杯子里的水洒满整个房间,顺便也洒在我身上,当我问到这是什么水时,他带着非常自豪的微笑说:“来自恒河。”然后我就像沐浴在圣河神灵的光中(简称鬼上身)一样不自在……大叔你要洒水先告诉我啊,惹不起我还躲不起吗?我罪孽真有这么深重竟然要被恒河的水洒啊……一想到那骨灰那河边随地大小便的猪狗牛羊人那满河的不明物体我就觉得浑身发冷。大叔继续敲铃铛,耐心地换神龛里的花,换完开始念经。我实在是坐立不安,跟着念我又不会,不跟着念我又不知道做什么好,幸好大叔发慈悲,念了几句放我回去了。OM里面有很多住客的留言,其中有一句让我印象深刻,大意是在这里住多几天可以好好享受varanasi的宁静,我真想把丫抓出来抽丫的问他到底宁静在哪里啊!到了印度就别装小清新了,varanasi简直就是背包客的终极考验重口味,而且到处都不是一般的吵闹,最应该安静的凌晨时刻也会有一群狗在河边抢地盘打起来发出各种悲鸣。为了迎合这种重口趋势,下午我又跟v妹子去河边看烧尸,本来已经去过2次了不想再看的,但是细想想我只是看到了“有尸体在那里烧”但是没从头到尾地观赏一遍,总觉得还是有点不够。于是我们俩下午3点热得要死站在河边看烧尸,美其名曰是看烤肉闻肉香。看尸体的肉从最开始的黑皮肤被烧成发白起水泡滴尸油到最后腿被烧断滚下来,看着看着觉得人生不过就这么回事儿,一旦死了,哪怕是在圣河边上神圣地死去神圣地被烧掉也是这样平平淡淡变成烤焦的肉,最后变成烧焦的骨头被扔到河里去,人死了都是一样的,所以我活着的时候一定要活得不一样,因为活着的时光不过百年,然而你会死很久很久,直到时间的尽头([]

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.

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?
