历山为于山西省南部,地理坐为东经111°51′10″—112°5′35″,北纬35°16′30″—35°27′20″,总面积100平方公里,极顶舜王坪位于山西沁水、垣曲、翼城、阳城四县交界处,海拔2358米,是华北南部最高峰。 历山奇峰壁立、沟谷纵横,中心区域地形复杂、人迹罕至,因此保持了完好的原始面貌,被国务院于1982年确定为国家级自然保护区。历山核心区面积7541.5公顷,这里有华北面积最大、保存最完整的原始森林,各种植物多达1400多种,各种乔木、灌木达560余种,其中有8种属国家二、三类保护植物。此外还有菌种类植物资源如猴头、灵芝、银耳、冬虫夏草等。另有药材资源麝香、菖蒲、黄岑、党参、人参、何首乌、当归、苍术、五味子、连壳、籽黄等220种,年供全国各地百万斤以上。良好的植被为各种野生动物提供了良好的栖息地,这里有野生动物330余种,占山西境内动物种类的80%以上。其中有有金钱豹、黑鹳、金雕等国家一级保护动物9种。二级保护动物29种。历山还有悠久的历史及丰富的人文景观,舜王坪因舜耕于历而得名。《史记》记载:“舜生于蒲阪(今永济市),渔于获泽(今阳城县),耕于历山。”坪顶有总面积4000亩的高山草原,山巅有舜王庙、南天门、斩龙台等胜景。历山的另一高峰皇姑曼则传说是舜王的妻子蛾皇生活过的地方。然而,最吸引我的是历山神秘的72混沟。户外界有“墨脱归来不言路,混沟归来不言沟”之说,可见混沟名气之响。混沟是指以皇姑曼为中心呈扇形分布的72条沟谷,1936年阎锡山的部队为修铁路而伐木进入混沟,结果断送几十人性命,更有甚者说是进去一个团,只出来一个连;2002年中央电视台【早安中国】栏目和太原龙网组织了历山探险活动,全国征集户外志愿者1000多人,最后选拔出10人。在有强大后援、直升机配备的情况下,以一人中途死亡而兵败历山!打开网络,敲出混沟两字,随便一搜就会搜出一堆各种各样的传说、消息...... 一、好事多磨上路难 5年?还是6年?说不清始自几年前,我就开始关注历山,默默的为穿越历山做着前期准备,梦想着有一天能走进历山,走进混沟,然而那时有关历山的信息很少,更别说攻略了,直到06年后,河南驴友多支队伍先后去历山,历山的攻略才多了一些,然而种种原因我的历山行却迟迟没能进行。历山地处偏僻、交通不便,虽说距石家庄直线距离仅仅几百公里,但要去一次仅路上就要花差不多两整天时间,而穿越混沟一般需要3天时间,因此去一次历山至少要5天时间,再加上混沟地势复杂,只有天气晴好时才能进入,时间上还要留有一定余地,考虑到来往路费较高、路程占用时间较长的原因,本着少花钱多走路的原则,我在穿越混沟的基础上又增加了穿越东、西峡和舜王坪的计划,这样一来去一次历山就需要七天以上的时间,只有黄金周大假才有可能成行。考虑到春节不适于穿混沟,唯有天高气爽、雨雾概率小的十、一是去历山的最佳选择了。去年十、一我曾做出了穿越历山的计划。我的计划是由东川开始穿越,首先穿越东峡,再步行或乘车于后文堂,找向导毕俊杰带路上皇姑曼、穿混沟,出后河后再乘车回西哄哄(或后文堂),再穿西峡上舜王坪,最终从下川踏上返程。如果有时间的话,返程还可以去沁河古村落一游。计划是不错(至少自我感觉不错),但最后时刻却因报名人员少于最低4人的出行要求而中止计划。今天十、一,我再次发出了历山行的召集贴。历山穿越示意(根据记忆绘制,可能有误) 10.1很快就要到了。27日晚最后确定人员,有的本来有意参加的驴友因这事那事去不成,还好有5人确定出行,看来今年历山之行黄不了啦。28日6点就去买票,不料30日不论是到晋城的2163还是到济源方向的K589或K183票都已出完,想换成太原方向的车也没有合适的车次,无奈,快8点时又跑了一趟火车站,想实在不行只能买1日的票了。意外的是这时2163倒有了30日的票。出了火车票,不料下午老马又打电话说单位30日下午有重要的事,2163可是中午1点多的车,他下午有事企不是去不成了?老马又说此事没最后定,让等一下他的消息。“30日不行1日出发行不?如行我就与其它人勾通一下,改一下车票,推迟一天出发”。推迟一天意味着计划就要压缩行程,但没有办法,因为老马是两个人,他若去不成向日葵色板官方就只剩3个人了,那就少于最少4个人的出行要求。29日上午去改车票,工作人员告知1日的车票已全部售完,无法改(原来火车票字是要占用正常的车票额度的)。电话联系老马商量怎么办,老马开口的第一句话就是“一个坏消息,我肯定去不成了,推迟到1日出发也去不成了,因为夫人身体欠佳”。头痛,真让人头痛,难道又要重蹈去年取消活动的复辙?可票已出,取消出行的话仅退票就要损失好几十元钱的,更重要的是会让铁心走混沟的老于、efun寒心。关健时候幸亏老朋友老席冲破千难万阻顶了上来,这才保证了最低的出行人数,不过老席很不厚道的要敲我的竹杠,“你得请我,我要是不去你们又去不成了”。“啊呸!想的美”。30日是国庆前的最后一天,是向日葵色板官方国庆出行的第一天。中午1点,我和老于、efun、老席会齐于火车站,滚滚人潮中我们终于上路了。此行的4个队员:前排左efun、右为笔者,后排左老于、右为老席列车习惯性的晚点(对此向日葵色板官方已习以为常),走出晋城车站时已是晚上9点35分,车晚了一个多小时。一般人去历山都选择走垣曲或沁水,我却特立独行的选择了走阳城,因为从地图上看,向日葵色板官方穿越的起点东川村虽说属于沁水,但离阳城更近一点。由晋城坐班车到阳城换班车到口河,再由口河包小面或三轮车翻一道小梁就是东川。这样走比从晋城坐班车到沁水然后包车到东川费用要低一些。不过最终这个计划没能完全实现,这是后话。夜色中的晋城火车站找个小旅馆住一晚,第二天一早乘6点10分的班车,7点25分抵达阳城。打听去口河的车,一位工作人员操着很浓重的地方口音对我说:“去口河?坐8点去李圪瘩的车,那车现在还没来,你去问下那边停的那辆黄壳车,问他李圪瘩的车还来不来”。“黄壳车”?我转了一圈儿也没看到什么黄色的车。再问那个工作人员,那人很热情的把我领到了一辆开往横河的车前,“这不就是黄壳的车么”。我这才明白他说的“黄壳”是“横河”,原来当地口音横、黄不分。李圪瘩的车没来,向日葵色板官方只能坐这辆去横河的车,到索泉岭再包车,从地图上看索泉岭到口河大约10多公里。班车驶在阳城的街道上 班车司机为向日葵色板官方联系了一辆小面。索泉岭(李圪瘩与横河公路的忿路处)下车,小面已等在路旁,司机开口就要150。好家伙,虽说没走过这段路,但我知道索泉岭到东川不过20来公里,撑破天也到不了30公里,哪值150?讨价还价,一番语言大战,僵持了20多分钟后那个司机同意100元把向日葵色板官方送到东川。向日葵色板官方坐上了车,他又说他没去过东川,要去“问问路”。这一问问又来了,他叫来的一个老乡对向日葵色板官方说“去东川的路断了,三轮车都过不去,更别说汽车了”。小面司机说:“东川是去不了了,这么着吧,减20,80,我把你们送到裴圪台”。在我印象里从口河拐进去没多远就是裴圪台,离东川远着呢,但为了赶时间,我实在不想再争来争去,又认为断路的地方不会是裴圪台村边,应该更靠里,所以同意了司机的条件,但要求他尽量往前送一送,送到车确实不能再走为止。车上路了,一路上上下下,大约10多公里时过了一个明显的岔路,是水泥的岔路,心中怀疑那就是去裴圪台的路,但又觉的司机是当地人,即使没去过东川也不可能不知道去裴圪台的路吧,怀疑就没有说出来。再行不远是一个不小的村子,名柴圪瘩。听到柴圪瘩三个字,我意识到路肯定是走错了,下车一问,果然错已过了去裴圪台的路口。小面在柴圪瘩村准备掉头 柴圪瘩村的一户民居车掉过头来,向刚才看到的岔路奔去。拐进岔沟不过两公里裴圪台已到,过裴圪台村不过一里水泥路已到尽头,司机说前边的路不能跑了。看看前边的路确实不强,向日葵色板官方只好下车。整包上路,边走边议论:此地距向日葵色板官方下班车的索泉岭不到15公里,这么近的地方作为当地人不可能不知道这条岔路。老席说这点路最多值50元,司机所做的一切(问路、跑错路等)都是在表演节目,向日葵色板官方被小小的涮了一把。唉,人在江湖飘,哪能不挨刀。水泥路的尽头众人在做出发前的准备 二、牛刀小试东峡路10点55分,向日葵色板官方沿着一条有无数车辙的三轮车路上路了。按我事先的计划,向日葵色板官方本来要在今天10点前后到达东川,再用大约4小时的时间穿越东峡,然后在天黑前赶到后文堂过夜并联系带向日葵色板官方穿混沟的向导。可现在快11点了,向日葵色板官方才刚离开裴圪台,这儿离东川还有约15里翻山路,按经验,15里山路至少要2小时时间,那今天向日葵色板官方还能按计划在天黑前赶到后文堂吗?现在看,悬。行走在通往东川的大路上 一路走在前边的efun 一路上行。这条路上有两个村子:前松甲、后松甲,前松甲人还多点,后松甲却仅剩两户人家,几乎被废弃,至于建于两村之间的松甲小学更是只有一间教室,并早已成了一座空房。过后松甲路拐进另一条沟里,脚下的路开始盘山而饶,路况越来越差,坡也越来越大,不过始终是贯通的,这点从路面上众多的新车辙可以看出来。完全不象“路断了,三轮车都过不去”的样子。被废弃的只有一间教室的松甲小学几被废弃的后松甲 拐过几个弯后是一山口,一辆三轮车正从对面开下来,看到眼前的路,看着缓缓下行的三轮车向日葵色板官方才明白这路小面确实是上不来,不过你明说路太差,车没法跑,只能送向日葵色板官方到裴圪台不就完了,干吗非要叫个老乡来演双簧,借它人之嘴说什么路断了呢?efun还是走在前边,老于和老席则在不远的后边边走边聊,好象有说不完的私房话。脚下是大大小小的乱石,我只顾埋头走路,两无暇旁顾。正走着,忽听后边的老席象发现新大陆似的喊着什么。走回去才发现路旁的崖壁下有两座坟茔。这种方式的墓葬还真不多见,若非其中一座坟茔外面垒砌的石墙坍塌,还真不知那是两座坟墓呢对面来了一辆三轮车后边的老席在看什么崖壁间的两座坟茔过山口路拐进另一条沟里,山坡上有古松,有房屋的废墟,左侧的沟中还有大片的梯田,显示过去曾有人在些居住、生活过。我感觉田间的小路能通到向日葵色板官方要去的垭口,然而又怕走错了路。算了,还是走大路吧,虽说饶远但保险。路边的一棵古松,其旁有房屋的废墟 接近垭口了,路旁的石是红的,脚下的土也是红的,efun捡到了一块煤渣,他怀疑红土下边有煤矿,老席则认为那煤是过往的车辆上掉下来的。应该是老席说的对吧。路的下边就是那片的梯田(后悔没有走小路,呵呵),已被废弃的梯田,梯田间也有废弃的石屋,看规模象是个住家。在这儿生活,水怎么解决?打井?走在红色的大道上 下边的梯田、房屋废墟 12点半,向日葵色板官方登上了垭口,这儿是阳城和沁水的界山,垭口处立有界碑,向日葵色板官方在此稍事休息,烟鬼老于坐在界碑上抽开了烟。这个老于,一屁股坐了两个县。下边的路是一路下行,路比想象的还好走,看样子用不了多长时间就能下到沟底,向日葵色板官方计划到了有水的地方吃午餐。过垭口不远有一平地,中间有一坟茔,坟前还戳着两个石塔,正在路旁休息的一老乡说那是当代一位县太爷的坟,这地方风水好啊。两县间的界碑 一屁股坐了两个县的老于 一位当代县太爷的坟茔 20分钟后向日葵色板官方已看到了沟底东川通东峡的公路,此时路的一边已有了水源,但大家都说进了东峡,找个山青水秀的地方再吃饭。弃大路走沟底,再行数分钟已上通东峡的水泥公路上。这么好的公路,莫非东峡已被开发?后边过来的一放牛的大嫂的话让向日葵色板官方放了心,“没有开发,只是修了一条路”。唉,不管多好的地方,开发就意味着被破坏,只要一开发就变味,这已成了规律,所以驴友最不喜欢的就是“被开发”。东峡路边的古塔路边的保护区责任牌,这样的牌子向日葵色板官方后来见过好几个走在“景区”公路上 公路走到头,两侧的山陡然收窄,东峡由此而始。东峡,北起沁水县下川乡东川村南,南至阳城县东哄哄村。全长10公里,其中核心地段长6.5公里,宽10至46米,是历山十四大景区之一。东峡谷深峡窄,两壁如削如切,谷中巨石累累、植被茂密,沟底溪水清澈、潭瀑相连,据说谷中有惊心石、黑龙潭、济公石等景观,还有三搂粗、号称全国最大杏树王的古树,更有抗日战争时期邓 小 平同志率部智勇走东峡,摆脱日寇围追堵截的故事。走进东峡东峡口的地貌现在我们脚下是石质河床,溪水从石上流过,将石切出一道深槽,形成潭瀑相连的景观,向日葵色板官方选择此处为向日葵色板官方午餐的地点,此时时间已是1点半了。兴奋让我们忘记了饥饿。各吃各的,谁也不肯替别人减负。人性啊,人性咋就这么差?咋都不肯助人为乐呢?雷锋同志在哪里?我的食品还是馕,只要不是冬季,我都是选择馕为中午的主食,这东西好啊,十天半月的坏不了,若是烙饼,夏季节令两天时间就会馊。向日葵色板官方开始午餐 一旁的小瀑从水潭对面拍午餐中的队友([]

从贵州回来半个多月了,整整一个月的跋涉和游览,乘坐火车汽车一路奔波,经常忍不住在山清水秀的地方徒步旅行,总行程计10000公里,其中:乘坐火车里程8300公里,汽车里程约1400余公里,徒步里程约250余公里,还有市内交通若干。 一个月中,看到得太多,想到得太多,得到得太多,一时难以品味和消化,以至于兴奋的情绪久久未能平静,迟迟无法安下心来写游记。可好多朋友天天追在后面催债,只好打起精神,努力成文。 这次贵州旅行全是乘坐公共交通,在近一个月风雨兼程的旅途中和其后近两个月撰写游记的日子里,我一面欣赏贵州秀丽山水的旖旎风光和奇异民俗,一面努力寻找与其相关传的传奇典故和古今传说;一面踏访各地的文物古迹和红军长征的红色旅途,一面费力探寻其背后遗留的时代碎片和历史烽烟,希望让这个帖子不仅仅简单地展现一次旅游过程和几张美丽图片,更能告诉朋友们这些图片后面的传奇故事和厚重历史,使一篇游记在时空上有所突破,变得更有厚度,更有伸展性和可读性,让朋友们通过这篇帖子和我一样能了解更多,收获更多,也为自己在未来重读这篇帖子的时候,给自己留下更多的时空记忆,所以我给这篇游记起了个目就叫做:跟老山羊穿越时空游贵州——访旖旎风光奇异民俗后的传奇典故;寻文物古迹红色旅途上的历史烽烟希望大家都能喜欢。此次出行贵州部分行程如下图: 出行时间:9月13日晚22点从沈阳出发,10月13日下午15点回到沈阳,正好一个月。具体行程及到达当地的时间为: 沈阳(0913)—安顺(0916)—兴义(0918)—安龙(0921)—贞丰(0921)—黄果树(0922)—安顺(0922)—织金洞(0923)—贵阳(0923)—镇远古城(0924)—凯里(0925)—朗德(0926)—凯里(0926)—福泉(0927)—麻尾(0927)—大小七孔(0928)—三都(0928)—榕江(0929)—从江(0930)—肇兴(0930)—黎平(1001)—隆里(1001)—锦屏(1001)—三门塘(1002)—远口(1002)—天柱邦洞(1002)—贵阳(1003)—青岩古镇(1004)—南江大峡谷(1005)—开阳(1005)—遵义(1006)—仁怀(1006)—茅台(1007)—习水(1007)—大同古镇(1007)—大足(1010)—重庆(1011)—沈阳(1013) 说起此次的贵州行,本来是去年的旅行计划,但去年8月份,当年和我一起走川藏的哥哥(参见我的帖子《兄弟写行走川藏》https//bbs.8264.com/thread-83145-1-1.html)突然发现罹患癌症,半年后竟不治身亡。 在哥哥最后的日子里,我放弃了计划中的旅行,抛开了工作,一直在医院陪伴左右,亲眼看着原本天性乐观、身体健壮的哥哥受恶疾折磨,一点点失去生活的乐趣和生命的活力,体重从80多公斤在不到半年的时间里就瘦的皮包骨头,最后油尽灯枯,离向日葵色板官方而去,深深感受到在恶疾面前,渺小的人类那种无助和无奈。 送走了哥哥,我更加体会到人生的短暂和脆弱,更应当保重身体,享受生活。正像我的一位朋友在今年中秋给我发的短诗所写:一年转眼又中秋,荏苒光阴似水流。把盏临风思爱友,隔窗对月寄情酬。人生短暂有终点,世事纷繁无尽头。莫让功名空误己,今宵不享待何求? 哥哥生前,曾一直盼望我能尽快退休,希望我退休后能和他一起继续享受旅行全国的乐趣。可这一愿望,竟然终成遗憾! 哥哥去世后,我跟嫂子要来了一直伴随哥哥旅行的佳能SD1400相机留作纪念,并承诺带着它继续今后的旅行生活,让相机代替哥哥观看和记录美丽的祖国山河。于是,今年9月,我带着哥哥遗留的相机,开始了筹划两年的贵州之行。 为什么选择去贵州旅行? 在全国众多的省份中,有几个是我从未涉足,甚至从未路过的省份,贵州就是其中的一个。对这个人们传统观念中天高地远的蛮荒之地,我一直没有太多的关注,也知之甚少。 其实早在2002年我第一次开始自助旅行去凤凰,在租了一辆自行车去阿拉营镇的黄丝桥古城时,知道再前行几里地,就可以进入贵州省,那时就在心里埋下了有朝一日要去这个夜郎国度一探究竟的愿望。 然而,十年中,尽管我每年都要出外旅行,甚至先后去了越南和泰国,而贵州省却一直没有列入我的旅行计划之中,这个美丽的旅游大省也一直没有留下我的足迹。 直到去年,我终于把远行的目瞄向了这里。 为什么要去贵州旅行?一句话两句话说不清楚。在我搜集资料的时候,看到一位贵州朋友写的文章,似乎可以较全面的回答这个问,让朋友们对这个美丽神奇的地方有一个全面的了解,故转发到这里,供大家参考(此篇介绍文章中的插图均来自网络,特此说明):原文地址:https//blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_70f15b1c01017rpx.html贵州:美丽神奇的公园省,自驾游、户外运动的天堂贵州游侠 贵州有着非常宜人的气候,零度以下及三十度以上的气温很少出现。一月份平均气温摄氏四到九度,七月平均气温也只有摄氏二十三度至二十七度之间,夏无酷暑,冬无严寒。地震、台风、海啸及较大的洪水等自然灾害与贵州无缘。贵州境内植被十分茂盛,一年四季到处都是郁郁葱葱的景色。贵州大小江河、溪流遍布,湖泊水库众多,随处可见青山绿水、奇峰绝壁。风景名胜、文物古迹遍布全省各地。一年四季都适合休闲旅游、探险猎奇。 贵州的大小瀑布成千上万,形态各异,美不胜收。除了气势磅礴响声震天的黄果树瀑布和十丈洞瀑布外,有的纤细绵长飘飘洒洒,有的几个瀑布叠成一串浩浩荡荡,有的多个瀑布排成一排各显风采。有的从悬崖半腰洞中喷涌而出如巨龙下山,令人目瞪口呆。荔波小七孔景区十二公里就有瀑布六十八个,兴义市马岭河峡谷六公里内也有瀑布几十个。中国十大瀑布水帘洞之一的穿洞河瀑布,在其五十多米长的瀑下居然贯穿着一条水帘洞,从古代起就成为道路的一部分。黄果树大瀑布 贵州的溶洞也是成千上万,除了被作家冯牧称为:“黄山归来不看山,织金洞外无洞天。”的织金洞、总长达一百一十公里的双河溶洞外。有一眼望去如一轮明月挂在山间的穿洞,有曲折盘旋绵延几十公里穿州过县的长洞,有洞中有洞、洞上有洞、洞旁有洞、洞洞相连,使整个山变空了的空山洞。有如戟似剑的石膏晶洞,有的水中有洞、有的洞中有水、有潭、有暗河激流,还有许多古人类居住过的山洞。有电影[云雾山中]土匪盘踞的窗子洞。有关押张学良、杨虎城的麒麟洞、阳明洞、玄天洞、有在洞口修筑城墙,在洞中躲避土匪战乱的堡垒洞、有在洞中建有飞机发动机制造厂五层厂房的高大洞穴,有洞中吹出狂风的风洞,惠水的波云洞旁一个小洞会吹出寒冷的风,即使是盛夏你也不敢在此久留。有上万个燕子盘旋其中的燕子洞,蝙蝠居住的蝙蝠洞,。溶洞中景色各异、美丽绝伦。任你打开想像的空间、用尽赞美的词语,也无法形容它的美妙和神奇。织金洞 贵州还有很多天生桥,大方青虚洞天生桥高大宽敞,桥下曾拟作为飞机库和跑道,蒋介石曾在桥洞下宴请过两千多人。黎平天生桥拱型规整圆滑,跨度一百一十九米,桥宽百米,堪称世界之最。瓮安仙桥居于高山之巅远望如天桥一般,有许多天生桥已被作为公路桥使用, 纳雍的九洞天、大方的八洞天更是由多个天生桥组成。湄潭的百面水有二十一个天生桥。黎平高屯天生桥 贵州现存的古代石建筑繁多,现存有数十个结构严谨、造型优美、雕刻精致的石牌坊,有数百个巍峨屹立的古石塔及佛教塔墓。上千个美丽古朴形态各异结构不同的古石拱桥、石墩石梁桥及石桥上有屋、有亭的花桥。有数百个建筑宏伟、规模宏大、雕刻精良的古石墓葬。数百个建在山间险境的军事城堡、营盘,均为巨石建成,有石拱门、房屋、仓库、地道、暗堡工事,最大的营盘面积竟达十平方公里。还有许多石墙石瓦石铺地面的古老的村寨。绥阳的石房子堪称石建筑的精髓,整个建筑全由精石料榫接而成,所有的柱、坊、梁上都有精美的雕刻,甚至连衣柜、水缸、台案等都是由石料精制而成。关岭的无梁殿,面积上百平方米无梁无柱,堪称一绝。石阡元代千工堰、瓮安明代梅花堰、遵义五百年雷水堰,兴义三百年石渡槽,作为几百年前的水利工程还在发挥着它的作用,平坝的天台山五龙寺建在绝壁尖顶,被称为石头建筑的绝唱,令多少古建筑专家为之倾倒。许多上百年的石碉堡还屹立在大小寨堡中。天龙屯堡—天台山伍龙寺 贵州河流大都流淌在幽深的山谷间,有乌江、清水江、南盘江、北盘江、都柳江、赤水河等较大的河流,还有数不清的支流和小溪,河水清澈,河道蜿蜒,落差较大,景色优美,水质极佳,可用于漂流的河流有八百二十条,已开发漂流的河道就有四十多条。还有数不清的阴河暗流,时明时暗,妙趣横生。北盘江大峡谷及北盘江大桥 贵州有着难以数计的古树名木,直径数米、树龄几百年的各种古树分布在全省各地,树龄千年以上的古树也有几十颗,最大的藤类植物的直径竟达半米。被称为植物活化石的桫椤在黔西北成片生长,硕大的古树被当地人民敬为神灵,从而得到精心的保护。站在苍劲挺拔、饱经风霜的古树下,你也会对它产生深深的敬意和发自内心的喜爱。 在横跨在大小河流和溪沟上的上千个古代桥梁中,除了前面提到的石拱桥、石梁桥外还有各种结构的古朴的木制凉桥、板凳桥、充满了古代人民智慧和勤劳勇敢精神的竹索桥、藤索桥、用竹杆连接两岸树木形成的竹杆桥、以伸到对岸的树根为梁的树根桥。以铁链固定在巨石上连接两岸形成的铁索桥。以砖为料的砖拱桥,以石为墩以木为梁的木梁桥,将石料固定排列在水中形成的汀步桥。无一不以其原始、古朴的风貌展现在人们的面前。反映了古代劳动人民的聪明才智。荔波小七孔古桥 古老的建筑在贵州也非常多,有许多规模宏大雕梁画栋的寺庙、庄严肃穆装饰精良的家族祠堂、极具异域风情的清真寺,庄重的书院、豪华的他乡会馆、宽敞富丽中西合璧的豪宅、占地宽广建筑宏大的土司衙署、庄园,精美适用雕刻精致绘画精良的古民居、在施秉一个十分偏远的小山村居然有着几十家高封火墙的豪华徽式建筑。镇远青龙洞古建筑群占地面积达两万二千平方米,单体建筑达二十五幢之多。位于安顺城内的文庙,始建于明洪武初年、占地十一亩,内存一对高大的透雕石龙柱为国内罕见,还有一面巨大的透雕石花墙及两座精雕石牌坊,如此精品在城市中得到完好的保存,堪称奇迹。镇远青龙洞 贵州境内还保存有几十段数公里长的古驿道,这些古驿道均为石板或石块铺筑,经过数百载风雨的洗礼,已经非常光滑洁白,古驿道上有驿站、关隘城楼、烽火台、屯兵堡垒。古桥古树。三国时期关羽之子关索修建的关索古驿道留下了一路的遗迹和多少神奇的传说。巾帼英雄奢香夫人修建的龙场九驿还一段段残留在乌蒙山脉上,一座座古桥为你讲述着一个小女子的博大胸怀。从孔明塘、孔明山、诸葛洞、诸葛峡、孟获屯、双泉寺等三国遗迹中似乎还能感受到历史的硝烟。青岩古镇定广门前古驿道 在贵州各地都有着众多的古代达官贵人、文人墨客留下的摩崖石刻、摩崖造像、岩溶造像、古碑刻、岩画及被称为写字岩的古代文字遗迹。关岭的红岩碑留下了难以破解的千古之谜,反映了贵州丰富的历史文化底蕴。贵州摩崖石刻 贵州古代各民族的墓葬也非常奇特:苗族的洞葬是把棺木集中存放在两面通风的岩洞中,水族是将遗体放入用精制石板做成的三层棺木的下层,而将其日常用品及粮食放入上面两层,以供主人“享用”,并在石板外面刻上花卉及主人生平经历的图案及文字。还有一种崖墓是在垂直的岩壁中间开凿出墓室将棺木放入,然后安装石门。满族墓葬则是将土坟用料石封包,在料石表面雕刻精美的图案及文字,并修筑高大的墓碑及宽敞的拜台。近年又发现花溪一个岩洞里有用一段整木料凿成的棺木,彝族的向天坟被称为中国西南的金字塔。夜郎王的坟墓则像一个卫星接收天线。贵州古墓 许多曾经走出家乡的贵州名人的墓葬也保存完好,如贵阳的李端棻,曾任清朝礼部尚书,是北京大学的首倡者和戊戌变法的幕后领导人。黔西的李士杰,廉洁勤奋,官至兵部尚书。思南的田仰为明清两朝兵部尚书。思南的郭石渠,任清朝监察御史,勤政廉洁、关心农民疾苦,力遏吏治弊端。曾任山东巡抚、四川总督的织金人丁宝桢重视海疆的巩固和枪械的制造,关切黄河的治理、打击贪官污吏、关心民众的疾苦。凯里的孙应鳌曾任多种要职,被提任工部尚书而谢绝。在家乡著书人。都匀人扶纲曾任明朝最后一任礼部尚书、兵部尚书,忠君爱国,将被吴三桂杀害的永历皇帝遗躯迎回,安葬在自己的家乡。黎平何腾蛟曾任相当于现国防部副部长的兵部右侍郎,明朝灭亡后宁死不屈,自缢身亡。遵义的黎庶昌从光绪二年起就先后担任清政府驻英国、法国、德国、印度使馆参赞,并两度担任驻日使馆钦差大臣。普定人任可澄曾任云南、贵州省长及北洋政府教育总长。花溪人刘清曾任山西巡抚,曾千里迢迢将油茶树苗带回家乡,开发家乡的油茶生产。息烽的明代贵州都指挥使李孟明曾将鞭打奢香夫人的马哗捕押进京。凯里的石邦宪曾任明代贵州、湖广总兵。这些贵州人民的优秀代表永远受到家乡人民和全国人民的尊重和敬仰。他们的陵墓也是记载历史的一页。贵州古墓 由于喀斯特地貌的影响。贵州有着非常多的奇妙的泉井,有的像串串葡萄从井底升起,有的似颗颗珍珠浮出水面,有的如有人控制般一日三潮、一天五涌,还有的一有响声就马上涌出。施秉的双井相隔百米一黑一白。修文的三潮水迎接过无数的名人轶士。荔波的永济泉井低于地面十米,取水要从精美的拱券下沿阶梯进入。丹寨的打鼓井每隔几分钟就会涌出水流,并发出轰隆隆的响声。许多泉井的水下长满了各种颜色的水草,终年青翠诱人。遍布在全省各地的温泉,含有多种矿物成分,非常适合人体需要。 贵州还保存着非常多的古城墙和古城门,贵阳青岩古镇、锦屏隆里古城、黄平旧州古城等保存完好,它们以虽然苍老但依然坚固的身躯,屹立在贵州城乡的大地上。隆里古城 贵州也有十几处美丽的石林,如兴义泥凼石林、修文的回水石林、福泉仙桥石林、瓮安草塘石林、德江石林、思南石林、习水岩寨石林、凤岗天桥石林、赫章韭菜坪石林。还有非常多的奇妙的石柱、石龙、最神奇的贵阳鬼架桥以其纤细规整而实在令人难以相信为大自然所造。梵净山的蘑菇石、玉屏的万卷书崖、织金的三叠石、独山的翻天印、拗拗石;三都的晴雨石、猫石;下蛋岩,仁怀的石球、石头开花;贵阳的船石、老奶石、高坡飞来石;赫章的倚稳石、福泉高石头、平塘卡腊石笋、甲青奇石滩;惠水望郎回、大方石舟、印江的大圣墩、三穗的耗子岩、都匀幻影石、玉玺峰、五色擎天柱;长顺的白水牛、剑河的夫妻岩、丹寨的石龙、湄江的宝石坛、贞丰的双乳峰等等,不枚盛举,无不令人啧啧称奇。梵净山蘑菇岩 贵州保留着许多近代省内外历史名人的故居:兴义国民党军政部长何应钦故居、贵州护国运动的领导人、民国交通部长王伯群故居;贵州督军、省长刘显世故居;安龙五省联军总司令袁祖铭故居;赤水、桐梓贵州省长周西成故居;桐梓贵州省长王家烈故居,黔军副军长蒋在珍故居;赤水黔军副军长候之担公馆;贵阳王伯群故居、贵州省长毛光翔、王家烈故居;安顺中共中央秘书长王若飞故居,国民党宪兵之父、贵州省主席谷正伦故居;荔波中共一大代表邓恩铭故居;铜仁红二军团主要创始人周逸群故居;天柱武昌起义前些督战指挥官王天培故居;贞丰被称为:民国十八年、贵州十八子、省长十八天的短命省长李晓炎旧居;镇远革命先驱周达文故居;花溪清朝状元、康熙字典编纂者周渔璜故居等,豪华气派的旧居,留下了历史的瞬间。王若飞故居陈列馆 作为日军侵略中国的最后一个省,贵州也有许多抗日遗迹:在进入贵州的黎明关古隘,日军三千多人受到国军一千五百余人的顽强阻击,三天三夜日军死伤二百多人。古隘古道和日军焚尸处犹存,在荔波的永康穿洞日军又受到抗日军民的抵抗,日军死亡二百多人。从黎明关到县城不到四十公里的路程日军受到军民多次阻击,九天后才进入县城。另一路日军在来到三都九仟的石板寨时天已经黑了,日军见高高的寨墙如城墙般高大,未敢贸然进入,在墙下烧火取暖,被抗日民众打死打伤多人。独山的深河桥是日军进入中国的最后一桥,和引发中国全面抗战的第一桥卢沟桥一样,被记入中国抗日战争的史册。关押日军战俘的镇远和平村向世界讲述着文明礼仪之邦的待人之道。镇远和平村 许多名人在贵州留下遗迹:明代大思想家王阳明在修文阳明洞悟道三年,受到全球文人的尊崇。明代大旅行家徐霞客游览贵州,写下了中国旅游、地理、民族、历史的巨作:【徐霞客游记{黔游日记}】。清代旅行家陈鼎遍游贵州,写下了【黔游记】,记载了“五百里观音洞”等多处景点。黄果树景区的徐霞客塑像

贵州一些现代建筑也值得驻足一看,如随处可见的大小不同、结构各异、姿态万千的公路桥梁组成了中国桥梁的博物馆。而各式各样的大小水电站则是中国水电工程的博物馆。桐梓建于四十年代的天门河水电站,已经运行了六十多年未曾大修过。猫跳河短短几十公里的河道中密布八个结构不同的水电站。坝陵河大桥 贵州的各种美食小吃十分丰富,不论你走到哪里,都有令你开胃难忘的美味佳肴。 贵州,三里一景、十里一貌,沿途风光也处处奇妙,如你开着你的越野车游览贵州,景点最少的县也够你玩满一天,而景点较多的县你三天也玩不全。而且如上所介绍的景点绝大部分都没有开发,不但不收门票,还是你们独自游玩的:“私家花园” 贵州:美丽神奇的公园省,自驾游、户外运动的天堂。来吧朋友,你会迷上它、爱上它的。 看了贵州侠客的这篇帖子,我对即将开始的贵州之行充满了期待。 按计划,我在出发前20天上网定火车票。本来原来的计划是从沈阳到重庆,经重庆去遵义,在遵义开始我的贵州之旅。可沈阳去重庆的火车是从哈尔滨发车,网上不出售沈阳出发的卧铺票,这让人很无奈。后来查到有一列从长春出发去昆明的火车经湘西过贵州,可以在网上定卧铺票,于是决定改乘这趟车。本来,如果从少走冤枉路起见,第一站应当选在贵州镇远,可这趟车到达镇远的时间不好,是下半夜的1点34分,于是只好继续往前坐,到安顺下车,因为这趟车到达安顺是早上的6点47分,正好开始新的一天。只是这样一来,我的乘车时间将长达56小时,跨越3300公里,无论时间还是距离都创下了我最长的一次单次乘车记录。 9月13日下午下班后,我去大东副食买了些熏鸡、火腿、方便面等食品水果,然后回到家里。 火车10点54分发车,晚上9点30分,我背起背包,走出家门。虽然出门就有公交车,我还是徒步向2.3公里外的沈阳北站走去。我喜欢徒步,尤其在这喧嚣散尽的宁静的都市秋夜,清风和煦,让人心旷神怡。都市漫步,既可以有效把控时间,又可以运动身心,享受生活,何乐不为? 半个小时后,我已经来到沈阳北站。整修改造了整整两年的沈阳北站终于全面完工,地下通道四通八达,宽敞明亮。出租换乘全部在地下对接。 走出地下通道,安检进站。来到候车室。等车进站。 火车正点进站,上车以后已经11点,关灯睡觉。 D1—D2(0914—0915):火车上 早上醒来,已经6点多钟,火车还没出山海关。 从沈阳和我一起上车的老爷子,87岁了,身体倍棒,自己上下中铺毫不费力,真令人羡慕。 原来,他是和闺女一起来沈阳探亲,儿子给买的回程票。13日晚上儿子送他们到火车站。到车站,闺女一看手里的票,竟然是14日的。因为着急回去,她连忙到售票处办改,还不错,竟然有票,不过原来的两个下铺变成了一个中铺和一个上铺,而且不在一个车厢。没办法,闺女只好把老头送过来,安顿好,然后回到自己的车厢。 记不清了,好像这个就是那老头的闺女。 乘坐56个小时的火车,对许多人是一种难以忍受的事情,对我则无所谓,在我看来,上了火车,它迟早会把你送到你要去的地方,所以,只管像在家一样,该干嘛干嘛。 虽然这条路已经走过了无数次,可我总是看不够沿路的风景。 正是新兵入伍的时节,很多车站都有新兵等待乘车去部队。这是在天津车站等待上车的新兵。 火车上的人们,消磨时间各有各的方法。年轻姑娘们最时尚的当然是玩手机。 车上的美女和美少妇还真不少。还有顽皮的孩子和慈祥的老人 这几位,分别是辽宁石油学院、中国石油大学和青岛石油学院毕业的大学生,幸运地被中石油聘用,被派到昆明参与前些日子引起很大风波的安宁PX石油项目。在火车上,他们小心地和一位当地的姑娘(下图)论证当地人对石油人的态度,担心群众闹事,生命安全得不到保障。 昆明姑娘说话语速极快,机关枪一样用本地话给他们解答。 火车一路行进,15日晚7点到达湘西张家界。这个地方我2002年来过,那是我第一次开始自助旅行,就是从那以后,我开始了迄今12个年头的自助游经历。 D3(0916):多云转晴 安顺—云峰(七眼桥)—安顺早上,睡醒以后,发现车停了,透过车窗,原来火车刚刚到达贵阳。7点整,火车晚点几分钟到达安顺。下车出站。 走出火车站,先找旅馆。 出火车站前行不远就是一个小集市,许多老乡前来卖菜。其中最引人瞩目的就是身着奇异装束的屯堡妇女。安顺地区,是600年前明王朝屯垦戍边的屯堡的密集分布区。 从贵州中部一直向西,再向西,就是云南。这是从内地通往这个著名的西南边陲最为便捷的途径。从600年前开拓的古驿道到后世修建的公路、铁路,都沿着这个方向不断延伸。 1902年,日本人类学者鸟居龙藏在贵州考察时,在安平县(今平坝县)郊外,看到几个打扮既有别于当时的汉族,又不同于附近少数民族的妇女,引起鸟居龙藏的好奇。向当地人打听:这是什么民族?一些当地人告诉他,这是“凤头鸡”。 第二年,鸟居龙藏的同事伊东忠太在安平也注意到这个特殊的人群。他问地方官员,官员回答是“凤头苗”。其实,所谓“凤头鸡”、“凤头苗”,就是地道的屯堡人。他们是当年江浙一带正宗汉民的后裔,是当年屯垦戍边的将士的妻女。所谓“凤头”,就是凤阳头,是600多年前明太祖朱元璋的家乡凤阳女人的梳头方式。 如今,600多年过去了,这些屯堡女人的装束依然保持着祖制,鹅黄色的长衣大袖,外围黑色的围腰,腰间系上一条彩色丝带。精致的花边透着江南刺绣的神韵。长发挽起用圆网罩于脑后,并且佩戴着玉簪等首饰。这些明朝皇帝朱元璋老家汉族妇女的正统装束“凤阳汉装”,屯堡女子一穿就是600多年。 据说“文革”初期,有造反派来强迫她们卸去“奇装异服”,可他们一走,女人们照样又汉装穿上身。 与外界长期的误判形成鲜明对照,屯堡人对于自己的身份有着清晰的认识,在安顺,哪怕是目不识丁的乡下农妇,你问到她什么民族,来自何方时,她都会毫不犹豫的回答你:“向日葵色板官方是屯堡人,向日葵色板官方的祖上是朱元璋‘调北征南’的时候来到贵州的。” 屯堡及屯堡文化和其背后的传奇故事,正是我此次来安顺旅行最感兴趣的东西之一。 走过集市,来到安顺汽车客运站(客运南站,安顺有好几个客运站——除了南站,还有西站和北站等等),在这里找个小旅店,安排住下。 安排好住处,放下背包,出去逛街。 本来按照原来的计划,今天准备去云峰屯堡景区,可昨天在火车上吃糖时,把嘴里的一个烤瓷牙牙套粘了下来,这下子吃东西非常不方便。必须得赶快修好,这是个大事情,关乎今后一个月的顺利旅行,所以我改变计划,今天先在安顺市内转转,顺便找地方修牙。 走出旅馆,走进车站对面的小巷,里面是一个很热闹的集市。还有一个小学校,一群孩子正准备上学。 在小巷转了一圈,回到南华路上,继续北行。 毕竟是南国,此时,沈阳已经秋雨降温,人们全副武装。可这里的姑娘们还是一身短打,看着就清爽。。 来到转盘塔山东路和塔山西路的交界处,这里有安顺的名山——西秀山,这是一座在平地间突起的石山,峻峭挺拔却并不太高,大约有三十米左右,山上有一座石塔,洁白如洗,塔身呈锥形六边体,七级,据说始建于1326年,是元代安顺三大建筑之一。 山下有绕山一圈的休闲公园带,很漂亮,上山有木制的栈道,沿栈道登上山顶,顿时视野开阔,小小安顺尽收眼底。 从山上看,山后有一座天主教堂,是一栋四合院建筑,很宽大,整个建筑似乎都是老建筑,但在礼拜堂的后面,竟然有一栋中式的亭阁式的建筑及几栋高大的中式砖木古建筑。 下山继续北转,这里可以看到西秀山全貌。 山脚下是一个小广场,一群人正在跳街舞。 中秋快到了,这里还准备举办月饼展销会。 小广场旁边,西秀山脚下还有一座寺庙,名为“圆通寺”。是两进的庙宇,据说始建于1352年,后来逐渐建成一组宏大的建筑群,曾排名安顺三大寺庙之首。但到“文革”后仅剩一座大雄宝殿,近年已经修复。 圆通寺旁边就是我在山上看到的天主教堂,这是一个四合院建筑,两厢是二层楼,正面是礼拜堂,墙面是用精石料砌筑成正三角形,顶部有十字架。 走进礼拜堂,麻雀虽小,五脏居全,很像那么回事。 看过了圆通寺和天主教堂,继续前行,来到有一个十字路口,这里正在进行路口改造。透过围栏,看到街区对面有一组古建筑,这就是安顺武庙。 安顺武庙是很有名气的建筑,原名慈云寺,据说始建于明洪武十五年(1382年),有600余年历史,原名寿亭侯祠,后改称关帝庙。清康熙五年(公元1666年)改建为武庙。在民国八年(1919年)因将关羽、岳飞合祀,又称关岳庙。但安顺人一直称其“安顺武庙”。 武庙大殿石柱堪称安顺各寺庙之冠,36根石柱全系整料白料石,柱间均用厚木枋穿斗连接,其选料之精,雕凿之实,连接之妙前所未有。整座武庙囿于地理,占地不广(仅3200平方米,为文庙的三分之一),但其规制齐备,布局精致,殿宇楼阁相得益彰,廊庑厅厢各呈特色,座北朝南之象观亦合武运之道。武庙泮池成八梭形,暗合八卦,此亦有别于其他古建筑,为武庙增色不少。大殿塑像有二,皆关羽像,一为坐像,一为行像。一殿二像且为同一人,此构思布局匪夷所思,为天下唯一。其柱联贴切有味:“兄玄德,弟翼德,德兄德弟;师卧龙,友子龙,龙师龙友。”([]

新西兰游玩思路Well, well, well……前面我说了,只要情况允许,无论如何你得有一辆车。地广人稀的意思,就是公共交通不发达。新西兰也用不着发达,它的汽车普及率是全球第二,许多家庭都拥有一辆以上的汽车,而稍远一点的地方,就坐发达的国内航线飞过去了,飞机场跟中国大城市的汽车站一般大小。新西兰可以玩的东西很多,随意列举:水里的——冲浪,漂流,皮划艇,观鲸观海豹,潜水,钓鱼,游轮空中的——跳伞,滑翔伞,蹦极,观光飞行陆地的——自驾,观星,徒步,登山,或者干脆什么也不干,仍是一种舒服的玩法列出向日葵色板官方南北岛30天自驾所去过的地方给大家做参考:南岛——1、MountCook库克山库克山是向日葵色板官方南岛自驾的第一站,来这里的人几乎都会去Hooker Valley track胡克谷步道做往返3小时的徒步。只有走在这条徒步小路上才能完整的看到库克山。四周雪山高耸,路边开着各种鲜花,路过冰湖与吊桥,到达库克山脚下的冰湖后,向日葵色板官方一直等到太阳下山才往回走,是那天最晚离开库克山脚下的游客,回营地的途中,黑暗里看不清路的兔子乱窜,差点撞到向日葵色板官方脚上来。 2、Lake Tekapo蒂卡普湖由于经纬度的关系,Lake Tekapo是南半球最适合观星的地方。除此之外被高耸入云的南阿尔卑斯山环绕的蒂卡普湖是拥有绿宝石般清澈湖水的高山湖泊,景色美得让人窒息。向日葵色板官方并没有专门去找坐落于湖边的牧羊人教堂,而是把车停在树荫下,悠哉的煮起了面吃。吃完准备打个盹,一群鸭子跑到车门前打招呼:不好意思,我们要睡觉了,没工夫social噢。3、阿卡罗阿借宿在友人位于普劳湾的房子里,在一个下雨天翻山越岭的去传说中很像法国小镇的阿卡罗阿看看。由于火山喷发形成的圆形半岛上,山路起伏多弯,雨水并不能遮掩既壮丽又秀美的景色。一路美景相伴,走走停停,开三四个小时到达阿卡罗阿已经不是最重要的目的了,喝上一杯咖啡稍作休息,又往回开进美景中。4、凯库拉凯库拉是南岛著名看鲸鱼和海豹的小镇,当沿着1号公路向北开时,注意路边出现画着海豹的警示,就可以挑地方停车了。有时候顽皮的海豹们会跑到靠近路边的草丛里,当向日葵色板官方靠近,它们就侧着头看上好一阵才跑回海边的礁石。南岛还有别的地方也能看到海豹,但能这么近距离接触的,凯库拉是首选。5、亚伯塔斯曼国家公园亚伯塔斯曼国家公园是新西兰最适合做海边徒步的地方之一,公园内有一条很有名的步行道叫做Abel Tasman Coast Track,全程55.2公里,走完需要3-5天,水上的士停靠在沿途许多沙滩。向日葵色板官方计划走3天,完成2/3的路程,徒步时很长一部分时间是行走在长满巨大蕨类植物的海滨雨林小道,隔一段能看到湛蓝的美丽海景,每天正常人4小时的脚程被爱拍照的我们走成6小时,不知不觉三天过去了,坐水上的士1小时就回到三天前的起点。1小时=3天。但如果不是慢慢的徒步,决然领略不到新西兰如此海岸美景。6、西海岸风光来过新西兰的人,十有八九都说西海岸美。到底是怎么样的美呢?塔斯曼海面吹来的暖气流被南岛中部的高山拦截,形成绵绵不绝的雨水,于是整个西海岸都是一派雨林气息,这里树干长着漂亮青苔的高大树木会跳舞,由于海风的关系,又集体被吹斜到一边,蕨类则铺满低一层的地面。羊群,牛群和鹿群见惯了常年堆积的迅速变幻的雨云,面对向日葵色板官方对这般景色的连连惊叹,始终都是很淡定。 7、 Franz Josef Glacier & Fox Glacier冰川探险是南岛旅游的重头戏,Franz Josef 冰川在毛利语中叫做“雪崩女孩的眼泪”。Fox冰川全长13公里,汇集了四座高山冰河的降雪。冰川徒步是游玩Franz Josef冰川和Fox冰川的最佳方式。可以在当地报名参加徒步冰川探险项目,也可以参加直升机之旅来领略新西兰最高的几大山峰的壮丽美景。但向日葵色板官方觉得新西兰这两号冰川略小,打着以后去巴基斯坦做冰川徒步的算盘,远远的跟它们打了声招呼就开往了下一站。8、Mount Aspiring National Park阿斯帕林山国家公园从西海岸开往Wanaka的道路必须穿过阿斯帕林国家公园,这座生长着茂密的新西兰特有的雨林树木的国家公园惊人的美!车子行驶在密林中间,向日葵色板官方总是有一种穿越的感觉,希望一直这么开下去不要到达终点。阿斯帕林国家公园里也有很棒的徒步路线,但向日葵色板官方并不打算停留,因为多雨气候的缘故,路面常有塌方事件,所以我们必须在封路之前穿过。车子一开出山区,豁然开朗,向日葵色板官方就知道美妙的雨林已经在向日葵色板官方身后了,由于阿斯帕林这些高山挡住了雨水,向日葵色板官方前方的平原夕阳正浓,开到哈威亚湖时,一条前所未有的鲜亮彩虹骑在湖面,高兴的与向日葵色板官方相见。9、Wanaka瓦纳卡湖Wanaka湖上太适合做各种水上运动了,买个大冰激凌往草地上一坐,就可以欣赏水上飞人项目(风筝冲浪者),人们三三两两的坐在一起享受夏日,假如你想喂海鸥,把食物往空中抛会帮助你喂得更拉风一点,三五十只海鸥会张开翅膀聚拢在食物能抛到的领域,尽量在空中保持平衡与静止,同时又以最快的速度争抢食物。10、Oamaru奥玛鲁奥玛鲁(Oamaru)又叫“企鹅镇”,有新西兰特有的黄眼企鹅和世界上最小的企鹅,蓝眼企鹅。在奥马鲁游客中心,有一个小花园是公园为企鹅搭建的,可以通过小窗口了解企鹅孵蛋,当然是收费的。向日葵色板官方尽量赶在企鹅归巢之前到达营地扎好帐篷,先赶去看归家较早的黄眼企鹅,再去看夜幕降临之后才归家的蓝眼企鹅。蓝眼企鹅才巴掌这么大,萌翻了……11、Moeraki摩拉基Moeraki Boulders公园需要自觉往入口处的钱箱中投入2新币,海滩上散布着许多摩拉基巨石,极其圆,还有像蛋黄一样的石心。网上查到退潮时间是早上,到达的时候已经聚集了很多游客,大家变着各种法儿与石头合影,在上面蹲的跳的,钻到石头缝里假装悟空的…… 12、Dunedin但尼丁Dunedin是南岛第二大城市,也是Otago地区首府。这里曾是新西兰最富有的城市,有很多富有历史感的建筑。从古典维多利亚建筑的火车站开始,沿着城内步行道就可以开始但尼丁建筑遗产之旅。St Clair海滩很适合等待日落,也可以背着冲浪板挑战这里的海浪。Dunedin也是吉百利巧克力工厂的总部所在地,目前已经开放成为游乐园性质的博物馆,据说电影《查理的巧克力工厂》就由此得到灵感。在这里不仅可以了解巧克力的历史,亲自体验吉百利的色香味,还能见到壮观的巧克力瀑布。但向日葵色板官方大部分时间都花在半岛上,先跑去皇家信天翁基地探望了威风的信天翁们,又贼心不死的在落日之前赶去桑德弗莱湾,穿过海滩走到半山腰的小木屋,继续看黄眼企鹅。13、Nugget Point纳吉特角从纳吉特角停车场走20分钟,就可以看到陡峭山岬上设的灯塔,岸边不远散布着很多岩石小岛。海豹们休息在岩石上,不过都离得太远。倒是有许多鸟,成双成对的疾飞嬉戏,练习飞翔。新西兰虽美却气候恶劣,但无论如何对于生活在这里的动物而言,没有人类过多的打扰,只需要面对自然界的挑战,总是幸运的。14、Slope Point斜坡角天哪,这里的风大得啊!到达真正的Slope Point,需要从停车场经过私家农场的Track小路,步行20分钟。前往时最后一半的路程,完全是风推着向日葵色板官方走。而快要到达终点立牌的地方时,是无论如何也无法走直线了,稍有不慎人就被风吹着跑。一开始觉得冷哆哆嗦嗦,后来被风吹嗨了,向日葵色板官方都张开双臂像鸟儿一样逆风往前冲,笑声跟我们本人一样跌跌撞撞的被风吹散,足足吹了快半小时,过足了瘾才往回走。15、Bluff小镇哎,今年的生蚝节是5月14号。看到路边的大招牌,大口大口的咽口水。Bluff,新西兰最南端的小镇,出产被誉为世界上最美味的生蚝。好想吃啊好想吃啊!非生蚝季不推荐来这里,会被馋坏的……16、Te Anau蒂阿瑙湖蒂阿瑙湖就像一块湛蓝的宝石。在i-site隔壁,可以在RealJourney公司报名乘坐游船前往Glowworm Caves(萤火虫洞)。17、Milford Sound米尔福德峡湾南岛自驾途中向日葵色板官方最期待的一个地方之一。从西海岸拐向Wanaka之后,米尔福德峡湾是唯一再能看到雨林美景的地方了。汽车开过一段幽暗隧道,一出隧道口,270度环绕的群山,下雨的关系,大概每隔十米就有一两米宽的小瀑布,从山顶倾泻而下,几乎上百道之多。完全就是现实版的《霍比特人》里精灵居住的地方。向日葵色板官方每隔一小段距离就停车拍照,希望长焦能拉到一两只精灵,向住在这里的它们表达诚挚的羡慕! 18、皇后镇皇后镇大概是新西兰最出名的地方之一了。Remarkables山脉,天台餐厅,观星,跳伞,蹦极……它集美景和各种户外极限运动体验地于一身,每个来南岛的人大概都不会错过它,以及镇上永远排满长队的Fergburger(大汉堡)。向日葵色板官方走在湖边拍照,一个吉他手卖命的演唱着,他的吉他盒上写着:为Fergburger!北岛——1、奥克兰奥克兰作为北岛自驾的出发地,是新西兰最大的城市,经济文化中心,新西兰的门户。这里有美丽的海港和岛屿,有着“风帆之都”的美名。周围的山峦尽是热带雨林风貌,有许多休眠火山。虽然奥克兰是新西兰人口最多的城市,但喧闹和拥挤却与这里无关,这里是宁静而迷人的城市。虽然奥克兰有很多可以去的地方,但由于时间关系,向日葵色板官方租好车后直接出城往南开去。2、霍比屯一直以为自己是《魔戒》《霍比特人》的死忠粉,结果听一位当地大叔说他们这里有人看了50遍霍比特人!这个人真的不是放电影的工作人员吗?!所以霍比屯,也就是电影里霍比特人的故乡夏尔的拍摄地,对向日葵色板官方来说还是有吸引力的。但是由于建在私人农场里,必须买票组团进入,限制了自由。而电影拍完之后明显疏于维护,菜园里的紫包菜,都长得有洗澡盆那么大了!我们还是把最美好的印象留在电影里吧…… 3、罗托鲁瓦想要了解毛利人的文化,这个城市是最好的选择。毛利文化村提供3个半小时的文化体验之旅,可以去看看关于毛利人的一切。但当向日葵色板官方赶到时,所有的团都订满了。正在消亡的毛利文化,是资本主义扩张的罪恶,也是一段忧伤的故事。4、怀基蒂地热公园罗托鲁瓦到怀基蒂这一片区域,到处都有地热现象,并不一定需要买门票进地热公园。向日葵色板官方就在一个不停冒热泡泡的泥巴池边上待了好久。但如果想看地热喷泉,就花钱买上门票去离地热公园开车还有20分钟的地方去,记住喷发时间是早上10点。 5、陶波湖Taupo湖是新西兰最大的内陆湖。湖光山色,美不胜收。向日葵色板官方在一块高地停车架好脚架准备拍合影,延时正要结束之际,镜头里突然窜出一个脑袋,原来是一个毛利小伙子从坡下辛苦的爬上来捡一块飞盘……于是变成3个人的合影。6、东格里罗国家公园末日火山是佛罗多实行摧毁魔戒任务的终点。电影演到这里的时候一波三折,末日火山的圆顶也频繁出现。向日葵色板官方站在鲁阿佩胡山的山顶平台时,脑子里老是回放那幅场景。这里就是末日火山的拍摄地,中土神话的终结地。这一站之后,向日葵色板官方就要开往惠灵顿,结束全岛的自驾之旅。 7、惠灵顿新西兰的首都是惠灵顿而不是奥克兰这件事,常常记混……但我们永远不会忘记离开前能将车吹晃的大风和瑰丽的晚霞,惠灵顿机场的出发大厅里,咕噜瞪着大眼睛在抓鱼,甘道夫骑着大鸟来为向日葵色板官方送行,新西兰之旅,令人享受至极。总结一下,向日葵色板官方的重点放在自驾和徒步这两件事情上面,在城市里停留很少。如果时间和预算允许的话,沿途还可以加入以下新西兰热门的体验式活动:皇后镇跳伞,漂流,蹦极等凯库拉观鲸观海豚福克斯或约瑟夫徒步,还可以坐直升飞机到冰川上面徒步阿斯帕林国家公园徒步奥玛鲁,但尼丁等地观看蓝眼企鹅米尔福德小径徒步陶波湖跳伞东格里罗国家公园徒步罗托鲁瓦毛利人村庄体验游怀托摩萤火虫洞自驾与徒步TIPS:正如我开篇所提,新西兰租车业发达,费用也低廉。驾照:使用中国驾照没问,但需要一份新西兰交通部授权的翻译件,可以在淘宝上办理,也可以找当地的代理,前者价格便宜一半。保险:大的租车公司基本建议上全险,向日葵色板官方租车的那间有三个选项,配的基本险不要另外交钱,00以上的车损才理赔,半险每天,0以上理赔,全险。保险费按照车型的不同会有小幅调整。导航:新西兰的公路条件非常好,国小人少,路完善,大地方基本不看地图也没问。向日葵色板官方没有带导航,手机上的谷歌地图就很完美。住宿:新西兰遍地都是露营地,部分需要预定。但有些只是房车营地,如果是汽车+帐篷的组合,要确认营地是否可以扎帐篷。营地分两种,一种是私营,厨房洗衣卫生间热水淋浴都有,电视房之类的公共活动区域也大;一种是DOC管辖的自助式,一般可能只有厕所和饮用水,自助缴费。此外Motel也遍地,若非圣诞这样重大的节日,很少会订不到房。条件更好的星级酒店也有不少。装备:新西兰天气变化非常快,即使是盛夏早晚温差也非常大。海边风大,应该备一件防风外套。如果夏天准备扎帐篷露营,建议最好带-5度的睡袋。实用网站:自然资源保护部的官网,上面几乎可以查到新西兰户外活动的一切信息,例如徒步路线与地图,露营地,国家公园,打猎活动,珍惜动植物等等的详细介绍:https//www.doc.govt.nz/新西兰营地大全,非常实用,向日葵色板官方都是当天提前几个小时在这个网站上找最近的合适的营地:https//www.rankers.co.nz/respectTop10和Holidayparks都是新西兰规模比较大的连锁营地,设施条件也比较好:https//www.top10.co.nz/https//www.holidayparks.co.nz/welcome 新西兰各处的潮汐预告,新西兰很多景点都需要事先了解潮汐时间才能看到:https//www.niwa.co.nz/services/online-services/tide-forecaster 新西兰旅游官网上有《霍比特人》和《指环王》的拍摄地介绍,喜欢的朋友可以按图索骥:https//www.newZEALand.com/cn/feature/lord-of-the-rings/https//www.newzealand.com/cn/feature/the-hobbit-trilogy-filming-loCATions/ (下图至33楼均为哈威亚湖及周边美景)([]
加蓬伊根甲营地远景 因所在公司外事中非洲加蓬国一块石油地震勘探项目,我和队友们于2008年9月8日,从北京国际机场离境飞往加蓬。公司营地建在让蒂尔市以北二百公里左右的半岛伊根甲的一块草原上。附近村庄的房子稀少都建在树林里,周围都是原始森林,与外界交通补给全部靠水路,交通和通讯都不方便,向日葵色板官方在岛上一待就是几个月,说生活不枯燥那是安慰自己的真实的谎言。勘探项目接近尾声时,大家有时间了就一起踢踢球、打打牌,自我调节一下。一般向日葵色板官方不与附近的村民打交道(包括踢足球),以免造成不必要的麻烦。营地前面有一个大操场,等太阳西下时就可以抓紧时间在操场上踢球了,赤道国家的太阳都是很毒的。已经有一批队员回国,现在踢球的人不象以前那么多了。。。。啰嗦了半天该赶紧上图了。。。。走过路过麻烦您帮楼主 加分顶贴下面的 参选帖子 猎人户外精彩自虐:负重穿越肖坑大峡谷(华东第一大峡谷)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1867379-1-1.html非常感谢 回帖是美德 准化营地鸟瞰 。。。像不像部队演习时的临时营房? 海上施工的工作照 为什么取名叫“少林足球”:因为大家在异国他乡生活久了,感觉就像和尚一样,修心养性,吃斋念佛;脱掉工作服赤膊上阵,在球场上撒欢一下,有的动作比较大,感觉就是在打斗而不是在踢足球。。。。精彩瞬间--门前解围 精彩瞬间--门前混战 精彩瞬间--拼抢 精彩瞬间。。。。断球 精彩瞬间--带球过人 精彩瞬间--射门 谁说赤脚的不怕穿鞋的 ([]
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,向日葵色板官方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,住宿向日葵色板官方都是在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,向日葵色板官方欧洲环游是自驾,做好行程后,在网上发帖寻找旅伴,有一对绍兴夫妇与向日葵色板官方一啪即合,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,向日葵色板官方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。简单贴一个向日葵色板官方这次旅行的路线图。从图中可以看出,向日葵色板官方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向日葵色板官方不得而知,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。向日葵色板官方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向日葵色板官方飞行的大部分时间,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。向日葵色板官方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。今天向日葵色板官方要赶往圣彼得堡。 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,司机收了向日葵色板官方四人共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,司机也喊向日葵色板官方该下车了。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 evalsuate 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([]
