这是一篇迟来的游记了。2010年的秋天,一帮朋友自己组了个团去川西,走的一个小环线。 那时候还是个户外菜鸟,装备什么的完全不专业,上牛奶海、五色海累得半死。现在专业多了,体力也好多了,今年已经准备登乞力马扎罗了。 川西的美在国内是独一无二的,它跟西藏、新疆略有区别,壮丽中带着秀美,应该是人一生必去的地方。 旅途的酸甜苦辣,在这个帖子里慢慢发出来跟大家分享。 当时在摄影上也是个菜鸟,刚刚买了个单反,完全属于入门级,只是有一腔对摄影的热情,照片比起很多大师简直就是到此一游的感觉,大家只有凑合着看咯~~~ 马上正式开始游记 第一次到川西,出行之前做了不少功课,特别关注亚丁景区的牛奶海和五色海,因为据说海拔高、路况差、风景好,需要徒步5个小时,路程极其艰苦,很少有人能上去,于是跃跃欲试,觉得此行最重要的目的就是挑战牛奶海。 冲锋衣、冲锋裤、登山鞋、登山杖、相机(550D+18-200mm,50D+16-35mm)、脚架,欢天喜地的开始了7天艰苦的旅程。 最喜欢这张照片,头像就是这张! D1 成都/雅安/泸定/丹巴 宿:丹巴(海拔1800米) 成都出发,经雨城雅安,感受雅安三绝——雅雨、雅鱼、雅女,翻越二郎山,穿越目前我国埋藏最深,海拔最高的公路隧道——二郎山隧道(2812M),过泸定,游览泸定铁索桥,至康定瓦斯沟口,经过瓦丹公路前往千碉之都——丹巴,隔大渡河观梭坡藏寨古碉楼。 极其无聊的一天,天气阴沉沉,加上超级堵车,除了在车上死睡其他什么也没干,翻过二郎山隧道已经是下午4点过,也没有特别感觉到隧道两头风光的不同。路上车子抛锚,修理半天,到达丹巴已快11点,没有任何高原反应…… D2 丹巴/八美/新都桥/雅江 宿:雅江(海拔2640米) 丹巴出发,前往游览甲居藏寨,参观藏族村寨,经八美,观八美变色石林,经塔公草原,抵达塔公寺,经过摄影天地新都桥,翻越高尔寺山(4412M),抵达藏乡小城雅江。 天气依然阴沉沉,一早前往甲居藏寨,所谓中国最美的村庄“之一”。 也就是大山上散落着一户户藏居,有多美我觉得真的谈不上,只是觉得这些人要出去一次太困难,这样的生活条件,就算是住在世界上最美的村庄也没有意义。 甲居藏寨 其间参观了一户藏居,三层,很漂亮的房子 三年前的俺,现在已经老得不行了 每家每户房顶上都很多玉米,金灿灿的 一家藏居门上贴着喜字,两只喜鹊停在房顶上,是喜事招来了喜鹊还是喜鹊带来了喜事 甲居藏寨只是一个开始,真正的川西风光这才逐渐到来 离开甲居藏寨之后,又是坐在车上翻天覆地的睡,中午在八美的一个草原用餐,吃了160元一斤的高原无鳞鱼,微微有了阳光,心情渐好 无鳞鱼火锅,我觉得还不错,就是价格太贵 又蹦又跳的,完全没把那儿当高原 塔公草原又是一个极其无聊的地方,完全被商业化,要不是一杯纯正的酸奶,这地方真是不值得去 川西的手工酸奶,5块一杯,好吃呀,现在都还在怀念 第二天晚上住雅江,一个依山傍水的小镇,环境还不错,依旧没有高原反应 D3 雅江/理塘/稻城/日瓦/亚丁 宿:亚丁村(海拔3740米) 早雅江出发,进入康巴高原,越剪子湾山(4659M)和卡子拉山(4718M),远观世界第一高城理塘(4010M),过毛垭大草原,后翻越兔儿山,过海子山(海拔5020M),观道路两旁壮观的古冰川遗迹,经小镇桑堆抵达稻城。翻越波瓦山,观高原峡谷、看赤土河风光,观万亩杨树林,经日瓦乡,抵达亚丁村。真正的美景,以及真正与高原的战争都是从今天才开始。 这一天翻越3座海拔四千以上的高山,天气依旧不好,但幸运的是下雪了…… 第一座山,小雪 高原厕所,设施简陋,价格不菲 第二座山,大雪,雾蒙蒙的能见度很低 雪厚得已经可以没到脚踝 远处一大群牦牛,我顾不上高原不易奔跑,兴冲冲的飞奔而去~ 我妈也深一脚浅一脚尾随我来看牦牛 到兔儿山是下午,已经没有雪了,风很大,五根脚指头不死死抓着地好像就要被吹跑 因为远处山上有一个像兔耳朵一样的石头,因此此山名为“兔儿山”。很佩服取名字的人。 在路途上看到的风景,太美了 一路上很多援藏的军车,雄赳赳气昂昂,以非常慢的速度挡住一大堆急得要抓狂的自驾车队 前面一个军车翻了,大家都下来救援。总之一路上见到车祸无数,自驾川藏线难度真是不小 晚上到达亚丁村,之前听闻亚丁村住宿条件很差,但没想到差到这种程度,十几个人睡一个房间,里面有上下铺,有通铺,各个房间之间用木板相隔,完全不隔音,客厅里烧着炭火,房间里烟雾缭绕,加上高原反应,一行人都几乎一夜未眠。 D4 仙乃日/络绒牛场/亚丁 宿:亚丁村(3740米) 早起抵达亚丁村,换马上冲古,游览冲古寺。观北峰“仙乃日”——观世音菩萨(6032M),南峰“央迈勇”——文殊菩萨(5958M),东峰“夏郎多吉”——金刚手菩萨(5955M)三座神山,朝拜卓玛拉措——珍珠海(徒步),畅游络绒牛场。 去之前看了一些游记,挺唬人的,说得要上牛奶海多么可怕,纵使昨夜未眠,今天我还是坚信自己能走上去。 今天本来的行程安排:景区大门——冲古寺(此段骑马);冲古寺——络绒牛场(此段电瓶车);络绒牛场——牛奶海、五色海(徒步) 但很失策,早上出门晚了,骑马早已排成了长队,没有几个小时排不到,无奈,大家只有徒步往冲古寺走,这段路风景很好,费掉一格体力走走也值得。 等候骑马的队伍([

每年至少游一个地方,是这几年一直所追求的。当然,都是自由行。2011年去过新疆,进行过一天的徒步,就被这种旅行方式深深吸引,全身心地投入,去感觉大自然对身体和心灵的冲击和洗礼,让所有的一切得到彻底的放松,徒步游的种子已在心底发芽。一直在网上找各种徒步线路,国内的、国外的。尼泊尔的几条徒步线路闻名世界,其中以ABC、ACT、EBC最为代表。EBC线路大都在5000米以上,最担心高反无法适应,ABC和ACT都是比较好的选择,有逐步适应的过程。选择很久,攻略看了N多,决定进行安娜普尔纳大环(ACT)徒步,原旅伴都因各种原因无法成行,一咬牙,决定个人独自前往,路上再找旅伴。而且因为是一个人,仗着身体素质好,ACT也成熟,决定不找向导,不雇背夫,挑战一下重装徒步大环。除了新疆一天漫步式的徒步,个人从来没有其它户外经验,重装徒步更是没有经历过,心里还是有点发毛,临行前几天加入了一个QQ背包客群,找到了一个和我同一线路的旅伴,就这样,开始我人生第一次重装徒步行。 尼泊尔徒步线路众多,被称为徒步者的天堂,一点也不为过,而安娜普尔纳大环线则被誉为“世界第一徒步线路”。确实,一圈走下来,深切地感受到了她的魅力。先把行程列一下,给想去的朋友一个参考:第一天:加德满都—Besisahar—Syange,乘车13小时;第二天:Syange—Dharapani,徒步9小时,行程21公里,上升850米;第三天:Dharapani—Bhratang,徒步10.5小时,行程23公里,上升950米;第四天:Bhratang—Ngawal,徒步10小时,行程17公里,上升830米;第五天:Ngawal—Manang,徒步3小时,行程10公里,下降140米;第六天:Manang—Tilicho Base Camp,徒步7.5小时,行程16公里,上升660米;第七天:Tilicho Base Camp—Tilicho Lake—Sheree Kharka,徒步10小时,先上升1000米,再下降1150米;第八天:Sheree Kharka—Letdar,徒步8小时,行程13公里,上升150米;第九天:Letdar—High Camp,徒步7小时,行程7公里,上升650米;第十天:High Camp—Thorung Pass—Muktinath,徒步6.5小时,行程14公里,先上升566米,后下降1600米;Muktinath—Jomsom—Ghasa,乘车5小时;行程49公里;第十一天:Ghasa—Tatopani ,乘车3小时,Tatopani—Ghorepani,徒步7小时,行程17公里,上升1700米;第十二天:Ghorepani—Poonhill—Ghorepani—Nayapul,徒步10小时,行程16公里,先上升330米,后下降2230米。在加德满都“New Bus Station”乘车去传统徒步起点BESISAHAR,一点也看不出是新公交车站的味道,车站破旧,车也破旧,但人还是很友善的,这个感觉,在尼泊尔整个行程中都能感受到。路上堵车是家常便饭,尼泊尔全境就没有几条公路,所有去尼泊尔旅游的人要有心理准备。当然,有飞机的地方,乘机是最快的选择,但尼泊尔的飞机安全吗?心里打鼓,2012年9月28还掉了一架。尼泊尔的卡车都很具有观赏性,都类似这样跟大篷车似的 到了BESISAHAR后,原徒步起点从这开始,但现在已经开始往里修路了,大部分人会继续乘车,向日葵色板官方也在BESISAHAR换乘,一辆公交挤满了人,挤不进的就坐车顶。不过,坐在车顶,必须具备两项条件,一是技术好,因为在山路,车子在行进过程中不断摇晃,而且幅度不小,要当心被晃下来;二是心理素质,这车在山路上行走,一边就是靠着悬崖,下边是滚滚的河水,有时车轮离悬崖不到30CM,坐在车里都有心惊胆战,在车顶,没有一定的心理素质估计够呛。行至一半,又堵车了,那辆430的公交坏在路边,正好是拐弯路口,所有车不得都停下来。大家注意,在尼泊尔山区,公交的底盘比越野车的底盘要高得多,往往很多越野车过不去的,公交车反而能过,当然,这是指专门在山区里通行的公交车。有几位老外等不了啦,干脆背起包来走人,反正是来徒步的与我们同车的俄罗斯小妞干脆当起了模特就这样,我们折腾到晚上8点才到SYNGE,基本上旅店都没满了,顶着头灯找了一家住下,没热水洗澡,随便吃点东西,擦擦身体睡了,听了一晚的浪涛声,第二天早晨起来,才发现住在了河边。第二天的早餐,煮土豆加奶茶,配点自己带去的榨菜,心里觉得土豆含淀粉高,热量必然高,能应付徒步的消耗出发时的背负,毕竟是新驴,这种背负让我第一天就差点崩溃。胸前挂着小包和相机,大包在肩带紧紧贴着肩膀,整个负重都在肩和脖子上,大包腰带是松的,老驴一看就知道背负不对。刚出发时还是这么意气风发的样子。徒步开始,我的新伙伴--阿健,一路上多亏他照顾,才让我顺利完成大环徒步。看了这张照片,才明白为什么叫“驴友”。这大环线上,各个客栈的补给,都是这样人扛驴驮上去的。 前两天的路,都是这样山清水秀空气好,除了有时会闻到驴粪味,至少还是乡野的气味。没有城市中的喧嚣和汽车尾气的污染。向日葵色板官方几乎都是每天上午7点出发,下午2-5点到目的地。这是向日葵色板官方经过的第一个之字坡。大环线上,这种之字坡比比皆是,这种比较缓的坡走起来还不太费劲,后面有几个之字坡,走的差点让人崩溃。 前面山谷中的村庄是JAGAT,是大环线上第一个比较大的村镇。路上碰到去上学的学生,很大方地合影。尼泊尔虽然经济落后,但对教育十分重视,向日葵色板官方经过的地方,最好的房子基本上都是学校,而且全免费教学,学生统一着装,走出来看着都赏心悦目。这些学生上午10点上课,下午4点放学,每天往返需要走路2个多小时,真是很辛苦。但看他们,脸上都洋溢着笑容,很能感染人。阿建同志跟同学们在亲切交谈,尽管他的英语水平很差,但孩子们还是觉得他很帅,愿意交谈。在这山区里,一般都是几个村庄才一所学校,因此大多数孩子上学都得翻山越岭,一趟要一个多小时。到一JAGAT村口。这些村庄,除了日常农作外,大部分都兼营客栈,以接待越来越多的徒步者。一路上,村里的客栈大都很漂亮,而且干净,尤其是被鲜花装点,别有一番风味,让人流连。客栈的老板娘和她的孩子,看到他们我们照相,很友善地对着向日葵色板官方微笑,那孩子笑容中带着些羞涩,但都是那么真诚,我明白了,为什么那个写尼泊尔的书名叫《尼泊尔的微笑》,朴实的笑容确实打动了我。 过了JAGAT,路过的瀑布逐渐增多在这种山清水秀的地方徒步,真是一种享受辛苦的背夫。他们的背负能力真的很强大,背着这么重的东西,比大部分徒步者都快,而且基本上都穿着拖鞋。这两位的拖鞋算是很好的,穿人字拖走大环的背夫占大多数。而这种背负就是专门用来搬运石头用的。中午12点左右,向日葵色板官方到达CHAMCHE,只是简单地吃了路餐,便继续赶路了。走出村口约一公里后,向日葵色板官方发现河对岸也有一条路,而且徒步者明显比这边多,怀疑自己是否走错路。后来才知道,向日葵色板官方走的这条是新开的路,传说大环线要修公路,估计是真的。但为了保险起见,向日葵色板官方还是打算去走老路。向日葵色板官方返回CHAMCHE,在村里一个不起眼的地方找到了老路的路口。感觉这样的路才是真正徒步的线路,在公路上走算怎么回事呀。向日葵色板官方走的第一座铁索桥。在大环线上,这种铁索桥很多,走起来晃悠悠的。 向日葵色板官方还在桥上照相的时候,遇到了昨天同车前来的俄罗斯姑娘。她们本来没有背夫,后来感觉重装无法走完大环,昨晚临时在住宿的地方雇了村里的背夫,费用好像也比较低,一个背夫一天700卢比(约50多元人民币)。但如果要保险一些,还是跟当地旅行社雇用背夫,能订合同,不满意还可以投诉退款。天下驴友是一家,见面了自然很高兴。 这种路走起来有点费劲,落脚点不实在。 哥俩第一次合影。有飞流直下三千尺的感觉。我曾经在《中国国家地理》杂志上看到过这幅图,当时惊为天堂的徒步环境。现在,这座挺拔险峻的山峰拦腰被切了一段路,山体和植被完全被破坏,给这美丽的山谷添了一道永远无法弥补的伤疤。从理智上,我也知道山里的人要发展经济,改善生活,但看到这一幕,还是不自觉地感到心痛。([]
自10月21日乘火车去成都,至11月12日乘机返回济南,22天历经成都、康定、稻城、香格里拉、梅里雪山、丽江、泸沽湖、西昌、峨眉山、乐山大佛、重庆歌乐山。身体倦矣,心里美矣。回来整理照片,慢慢写游记,供诸同好,真是莫大的享受。 在8264论坛上先发了个帖子,诚邀驴伴,回帖、打电话,有意项者多,能同行者少。有位济南的驴友本来说可以去稻城,邀他在山东省图书馆见了一面,说起行程、花费,对于一个刚毕业不久的他来说,费用是大了点,在我的劝说下,他经过慎重考虑,放弃了去稻城的计划,改为游历其他的地方。和几位驴友通了电话,说是去稻城,但都没有说定。经常一个人独自登上远去的列车,没有同伴就独行吧,先到成都再说吧。 从济南乘火车到成都用时35个小时,是俺山人平生坐火车最长的一次,济南2136开车,第三天0845,到成都,区间里程 2295公里 区间时间 35小时9分。 从济南乘火车到成都(K208/K205),一路经泰山、兖州、 枣庄西 、徐州 、 砀山 、商丘 、开封 、 郑州 、巩义 、汝州 、平顶山西 、南阳、邓州 、襄阳 、谷城 、武当山、十堰、安康 、西乡、汉中 、广元 、江油 、 绵阳 、德阳、成都。在火车上除了睡觉就是聊天,睡了两个晚上,很有意思啊。夜里有打呼噜的,有婴儿啼哭,有神经病患者黎明前放声高歌,晚上睡不了几个小时。好在常在旅途走,什么样的情况都能应付。最不愿坐飞机,一是贵,二是把行程大为缩短,一点意思都没有!还是坐火车一路走来,一路看景,一路思考,这是火车的好处。 在火车上晚上睡一觉就过去了,白天最难熬,但俺山人有几大发明可以熬时间,祖传秘方,不传外人啊:1、找美女聊天;2、看书;3、上网;4、散步;5、坐禅;6……办法有得是。只是聊天聊得口发干,看书看到头晕眼花,上网上到手机没电,散步散到警察把你当特务,坐禅坐到别人把你当成神经病。 火车上见到一位女游客,心无旁骛,专心致志地在刺绣,布面上有亭台楼阁。大庭广众之下,不急不噪,专心女红,真奇女子也。上前搭讪,方知她从济南上车,要去绵阳。因经常乘火车,学会了刺绣,一上车就拿出针线,红绿黄蓝青靛紫各色细线一一备好,穿针走线,布面上的风景由模糊变得愈来愈清楚。我本男儿身,不擅针线,否则,拜她为师,飞针走线,该有多大的乐趣。全身心投入到刺绣事业之中去,既可破闷,亦可修身养性,亦平生一大乐事也。一座楼阁绣不好就到成都了,一定不会觉得路途遥远。中华儿女多奇志,不爱武装爱红装。刺绣者,网名繁华如沙是也。她到绵阳后,还发来信息说:绵阳有直达九寨沟的大巴,绵阳平政汽车站,早六点半至中午十二点,滚动发车,全程需八个小时。 回忆是温馨的,点点滴滴都充满着一种温情。但愿我能把一路上经过的事儿与人记得更准确、更详细些,不求宏大,但求细致,但愿能想起更多的细节。突然想起了火车上的乘务员,她是位中年妇女,应是青岛人吧,生性豪放,她说现在列车硬件质量差,亲手指着用了不长时间的地方生了锈。还说遇到了一位驴友,工作一段时间挣够了钱就辞职出去旅行,花光了钱再去工作,老板惜才没让他辞职,完成了工作量就准许他出去旅行。其真驴友也,出行时间长,工作都放在了第二位。我辈乃笼中鸟,养家糊口之余方能挤出十几天时间云游四方,惭愧惭愧。 在成都梦之旅国际青年旅社,上网时在赶一篇稿子,12点写好后。听一位驴友说,去稻城最好先乘车到康定然后再去稻城。听了他的话。就决定买去康定的大巴。计划已定,去了青羊宫,参观完以后就到车站买了到康定的车票。 我住在成都梦之旅青年旅社,已买好10月24日到康定的车票。在梦之旅,碰到广州的小谭,他本来就没有明确的目的地,我说稻城美啊,不是一般的太美!经不住诱惑,小谭同意一起去稻城。早晨乘出租车到旅游中心客站,小谭买到了票。我们同乘一辆大巴,晚上到康定,一路风景壮观。住在贡嘎青年旅馆,遇到不少去稻城的驴友。有美女理云、帅哥小轩,四人打的到康定老城”老友记私房菜”吃晚饭,又邀了美女叶儿与小唐,队伍已发展到六人。第二天(10月25日)小唐与叶儿坐班车去稻城,向日葵色板官方四人包面包车到稻城,每人是150元,车上又与美女程程邂逅,一行五人奔向稻城。从康定包车到稻城一般得1000元,向日葵色板官方算是便宜的。 到了成都,先找住的地方,梦之旅青年国际旅社就在武侯祠马路对过(南面),那是驴友扎堆的地方,以前曾住过,条件尚可,就住那吧。从火车站乘车极为方便,在武侯祠那站下车即可。住了个十人间,30元一个床位。寄存好包后,乘车去青羊宫。几年前去成都,参观了在广汉的三星堆,在成都的杜甫草堂、金沙遗址。青羊宫是川西第一道观,离武侯祠不远,坐落在成都西南郊,南面百花潭、武侯祠(汉昭烈庙),西望杜甫草堂,东邻二仙庵。青羊宫具体位置是成都市一环路西二段九号,经过“青羊宫”的公交车车很多,也就几站的路。 济南至成都火车卧铺(中)大概是450元左右,成都梦之旅国际青年旅馆一个床位30元,青羊宫门票10元,从成都至康定,新南门车站发车,从8点10分到12点,好像有四班,票价大概是120元左右。我是乘的8点10分的班车,大概是下午四五点钟到。一路经雅安(这一段是高速)、泸定,在翻过二郎山前一个叫王老四的饭店吃的午饭,每个菜大概15元,和小谭要了两个菜,只吃了七成饱。在二郎山前路一直比较好,快到泸定路就不好走了,康定贡嘎青年旅社一个床位大概是35元。 向日葵色板官方当时时在翻越剪子弯山时看到的贡嘎雪山,看到的是应是其北坡(或者西坡)。当时12点左右,阳光明媚,看得较较为清楚。 我们正此盘桓半个多小时,尽情领略贡嘎雪山的神韵。 到卡子拉山时大概是下午2点20左右。 一路风景优美,这是包车的好处,想停就停,坐班车就不能随便让司机停下来照相了,你眼中的美景人家天天看,不会一见到雪山就发出“哇!哇!”这样的惊叹。。 我拍摄主要是记录行程,但愿能把一路的美景都装在心中。 终于见到了兔儿山。 兔儿山海拔4696米。过兔儿山就到海子山了。 海子山多石头,堆在一起,气势磅礴。当时天色已暗,这几张是当天最后的照片了。从理塘到稻城的风光非常壮观,可惜天完全黑下来,至稻城一直没再拍照片。 海子山绵延几十公里,在傍晚时分,面包国行驶在海子山中,不时能见到海子与硕大的石块,苍凉之感扑面而来。 在稻城住妈妈青年旅馆,我和小谭、理云、小轩、程程五人乘面包车先到,叶儿与小唐乘班车后到。到稻城重庆火锅店吃饭,人多菜少,也就吃个半包。饭毕,他们几人在超市购物。乘车云妈妈青年旅馆分店,条件太差,老板不地道,把向日葵色板官方忽悠到了一个非常偏的分店,基本上没有人。一见到一位小伙子,他说是老板的弟弟,非常气愤地说:“明天就要关门了!”怎么找了一个这样的地方!基本上都是向日葵色板官方这帮驴友。晚上和小轩同床共枕, 一夜睡得很香。第二天司机师傅曲米定好早晨7点出发。 看傍河要从主道上向西走几百米。 傍河风光,早晨看很有味道。 在《秘境稻城》一书中,作者说傍河夕照,色拉晨雾景色最美,向日葵色板官方没有看到傍河夕照,也没有看到色位乡的晨雾,但却看到色拉乡早晨的太阳照在大山之上的美景。在此拍摄的驴友还是很多的。 由色拉乡向南走不远就是热乌寺了。 司机曲米与一起去亚丁的驴友合影。曲米自称是山歌王子,一路上不时要唱上几句,为向日葵色板官方带来许多欢乐。 在海子旁,大家拍照留念。翻过波瓦山,路基本是是柏油马路,很好走,到赤土乡曲米家去喝酥油茶。曲米的父亲为向日葵色板官方煮好了酥油茶,火炉里木柴烧得正旺,阳光透过窗户射进来,喝一口酥油茶,暖暖的。在他家呆了半个小时,看了他家的佛堂,登上屋顶,远望整个村子。曲米大哥的面包车出了毛病,曲米帮着捣鼓了半天,车也没有修好。在赤土乡呆了有一个多小时。向日葵色板官方继续赶路,路一边是溪水,黄杨树的叶子是鹅黄色的,嫩嫩的,煞是可爱。 当地的杨树其实是分青杨树与黄杨树,向日葵色板官方分不清,一律称黄杨树吧。杨树叶子是色的,其他的树叶子是绿的,与碧绿的溪水、醋枯黄的草搭配起来,组成一幅美丽的画卷。 溪流清澈而又湍急。 曲米的家到了。 围在曲米家火炉边,温暖、温馨的感觉油然而生。 藏族人家的房子真大。 色拉乡的乡村非常温馨的地方。 赤土乡是个风景区美丽的地方。([]
很多人都看过《转山》,总觉得那是一件很难完成的事情,特别是对于一个像我这样瘦的跟柴一样的女生,想起当初今年年头买自行车的时候,我跟老板要了货架,他很奇怪的问我要货架干什么,我说我要骑长途,去拉萨,他很鄙视的笑了笑,而这样不看好我的人,并非他一个,我的滇藏之行也并非一部《转山》而起,对于有过骑行经历的我来说,张书豪所做的一切影响不了我,虽然有着和电影里相似的情节,但是没有需要承载兄弟遗志的信念,只是影片里一条条让人沸腾的道路和沿途的美景当时看来令人怦然心动,仅此而已! 早在18岁的时候就一直向往着能去西藏,去拉萨,而我也不是电视连续剧《北京青年》看多了,想重走青春?我还青春,还没到要重走的年龄。我只想全程骑行不搭车不放弃,骑到拉萨,我就看看自己到底有多大能耐。所以,现在的我是那样迫不及待地喜爱旅行,趁着年轻,趁着有放肆的青春,看我没看过的地方,走我未走过的路…… 刚刚7月骑行广州到南宁结束回到家就被朋友们各种语言劝导,各种诱惑,开始对父母进行沟通,最后费了九牛二虎之力,父母终于同意了, 骑行入藏,是的,趁着后面318线没有全面贯通山体隧道的时候,用车轮去丈量脚下的“朝圣”之路,我的梦想终于有了起点。集合时间定为9月14丽江集合。为什么还要去?选择骑行,仅仅想趁着青春年少,让自己成为一次苦行僧。自我解读只有一句话:一个死人、一些活人!过去的几年里我每天都做着一模一样的事情:上班就是看邮件、看指、按照规范安排着一切工作,中午在单位食堂吃饭,晚上坐班车回家,看所能找到的各个国家古老的电影,玩着不知道玩了多少遍的动作游戏-----生活乏味到你懒得去做任何选择、琐事让你抓狂到无以复加,我把这样一种状态的我称为“死人”!我不知道这样的日子什么时候是个头,什么时候才能像歌曲里边唱的那样拥有一个怒放的生命,尽管不能像孙行者一样跳出三界外不在五行中,但起码可以飞翔在辽阔的天空穿行在无边的旷野。所以我给了自己一个答案:不能在这样糟糕的状态下苟延残喘,也不想以这样的一种状态去面对周围的人和事,如果你不想得抑郁症,是时候改变了! 24岁,我该给自己的本命年送上一份特殊的礼物,刺激刺激我那麻木的神经。去西藏或许是很多人的梦想,去感受与天最近的距离,去感受那份虔诚的信仰,去感受那份异域的风情...不知何时这个想法成了我心底升起的一个梦想,想去拍下世界屋脊的蓝天,触摸高原洁白的云朵,领略多年来神秘向往的佛教圣地,中国最后的一片“净土”。可能也是因为2012的原因吧,一个年度大片《2012》,一个N多个世纪前、N多年前预言,这是个毁灭的年份,等等众多的理由,让这个年份不那么平静,更让我这份躁动的心灵,急用去探究那片天,这大概也是想去西藏抢寻一张“诺亚方舟”的船票吧,在九月这寓意这丰收的日子,在人仰马翻的忙乱中,——去拉萨! 本次骑行经过峡谷、山区、林区、草原、冰川多种地形,翻越5000米以上垭口两座:东达山、米拉山;翻越4000米以上山、垭口八座:白马雪山三垭口、红拉山、拉乌山、业拉山、安久拉山、色季拉山,其余不知名山坡若干;途径洱海、长江、金沙江、澜沧江、玉曲河、怒江、尼洋河、拉萨河等重要河流湖泊及其支流,穿过隧道、桥梁若干,有数但是没记住!充分领略了祖国大陆滇北及藏南美丽的秋季景色和人文地理。骑行装备:美利达挑战者320自行车、码表、后货架、驼包、手电、头盔、长指手套一双、长指保暖手套一双、家 务洗碗的橡胶手套一双,束裤带两条、骑行眼镜一副、车装水壶一个、保温杯一个(用来喝热水)、衣物:太阳帽、 抓绒帽、保暖内衣裤一套、冲锋衣1(带抓绒)、冲锋裤1(带抓绒)、分体式雨衣1、雨鞋套1、速干裤2、T恤2、皮肤风衣1、徒步低帮鞋1、拖鞋1、骑行内裤2药物:感冒药、肠胃药其他: 手机、邮政储蓄卡一张、身份证、边防证、护照、防晒霜、润唇膏、洗漱用品、笔记本、笔、邮戳本、现金若干、保险一份、拴式卫生棉条(女生骑行必备,很给力)有些事现在不做,一辈子都不会做了。。。是的,那就出发吧!当你踏出第一步,所有问都已过去!蜗牛骑行队队员介绍:主角:宠儿公道,37岁,昆明人。喜欢喝咖啡!为了这次行程把自己的房产公司卖掉!2队长-黑焰,衡阳人。在长沙工作,绝对的闷骚型,一拍照就四个字,永无休止。但是整个行程中,他的体力是最好的。但前提是要给他足够的水喝! 丽江纳西小伙导游——等待,队伍里最个性的一个,年纪最小19岁。总是能弄的大家哈哈大笑,弄了个超大的音响卡龙头上,边骑边听歌,很HI啊,他有多个名字,身份证上的名字叫何林,可是据他说这也不是真的,搞得跟SPY一样。这货绝对是那种能够让你无时无刻都能感到开心的人。最有趣的是,他说,他带团出去,数游客数时,总是用只为单位,一只人,两只人,游客问他为什么这么数,他说小时候数牛的时候习惯了。我只想说“鬼才信!”邱哥,广州人,38岁,话不是很多,特别喜欢发微博,哈哈,上坡总是慢慢悠悠的让我和暴走等半天,下坡又不要命的快的害怕。“槟榔加烟,法力无边”,“一切上坡都是纸老虎!”这就是他的名人名言,湖南人——李里,队伍里的又一个神经病,一到上坡爬垭口,我两就喜欢唱-爱要坦荡荡-像风一样自由......大队长:鬼宝。。。有骑行经验,对人很好,总喜欢拿糖给我吃,属于骑的不是最快,但是可以不停一直骑,不休息的发动机。。。路人,河南人,在昆明工作生活。虽然身上有着河南人的所有特质,但不得不佩服他。其一,作为一个女孩子能够有勇气踏上这条路,就已经让其他在城市生活的所谓男人黯然失色。其二,在骑滇藏线之前,她毫无任何骑行经验。所有装备都是在出发前一个星期置配的。他绝对是属于宅女的那种类型,下班就直接回家,窝在沙发看韩剧,从不锻炼。真不知道他为什么有这样大的勇气,或者是脑子烧坏了!只是后来搭车了...你说你要跟我一样全程骑完那不是很好么???小剑,邵阳人。我个人觉得,叫小贱贱更为合适,因为他自然流露出来的表情,绝对贱到骨髓,随后我会用照片来证明我的话不虚。他回长沙第二天因醉氧晕倒,直接导致一颗门牙早早退休!小哲,长沙人,导游。能说会道,最大的亮点就是能吃!一个人绝对能够吃四个人的量!我真木有吹牛! L12,我总喜欢叫他“3”,3在向日葵色板官方队伍里属于赶时间的人,走在他旁边总是有压力,你说你这娃长那么壮实干什么啊?队伍里最高的小尼姑,北京小伙,算半个高富帅吧!为了工作也是赶时间骑车,由于太高20寸的架子都显得小,看他骑车的背真心让你心疼,原来长的高也是罪啊...本着“不愿做别人眼里的牛B,只愿完成自己的修行”的思想,上路.....

”...意思是高峰之下的村寨...是茶马古道上保存完好的重要集镇...束河古镇的有人没有四方街那么热闹那么喧闹...相比较之下要舒服很多...临水而居...也是一派小桥流水的情调...而我预定好的K2青旅就在束河里面...来到门口当然要好好的来张全家福...由于之前的房间床位是我预定...所以弄的后面押金、办会员卡、交钱、登记、字、收发身份证、发钥匙都是我在忙活...本来想男女混住同一8人间的...但是没有混住间了...向日葵色板官方只能男女分开...K2国际青年旅舍床位30元每人每天....小尼姑晚上才来...为他订好了床位...向日葵色板官方都各自收拾好了东西...午饭时间到午饭时间到...向日葵色板官方肚子咕咕响了...骑车自己的小车车出去...以前我从来不吃腊排骨...可能真的是做的好吃的太少了...“等待”带向日葵色板官方在城里的一家腊排骨火锅店坐了下来...才开始的时候我心里想着:惨了...我不会吃...后来尝了尝真的很好吃很好吃...吃的我饱饱的...AA下来每个人20元...吃完饭..我们做了最后的准备工作...到车行调试车子...到超市买齐东西...买了个保温壶...弄到4点多才回去...路人和暴走直接回了K2...而剩下的向日葵色板官方6个人在“等待”的带领下....骑车去往玉龙雪山方向...月夜朦朦胧胧...总是让人似梦非梦...月夜总是让人思绪飘扬...一个名叫《月亮谷》的名字...进入了向日葵色板官方的耳朵里...那里就是向日葵色板官方即将在“等待”带领下逃票去的又一个深藏在彩云之南的世外桃源...正好让向日葵色板官方适应一下高原骑车....o(∩_∩)o 哈哈...向日葵色板官方没水没干粮的出发了....“等待”就是个无时无刻让向日葵色板官方充满快乐的人...他居然叫大家在这里抽烟...最后一只...进去就不能再抽烟了...原因:里面全是难以发现的摄像头...为了不发生火灾...在里面抽烟被发现要罚款的...结果在之后的骑行不到几公里的地方...我捡到一包没有开封的云南印象时...他又开始聚众抽烟了...唱歌、聊天、骑行在笔直的大路上....向日葵色板官方玩的不亦乐乎....据说此时海拔3000...看我收了你们4个小妖精...拿回去分给我的妹子玩...一路都是缓上坡...空气很清新...风景也很好...向日葵色板官方还看到了一米阳光...不足的是...自从在下火车的那刻看到玉龙美人之后她就再也没有为向日葵色板官方露出笑脸...一直躲在云层后面...好似害羞了...一路没有吃的...喝的一点点水也没了...天色也暗了下来...开始冷了...这样的缓上坡让我骑起来感觉特别的吃力...向日葵色板官方继续向前骑行着...后来在出口的检查站那里...向日葵色板官方跑去跟查票的人要开水喝...导致了我们此次套票的失败...只能灰溜溜的原路返回...还好回去变成了缓下坡...风景特别的美...远远的看着丽江古城就在前方...一路下坡一路狂飙...我想要怒放的生命...就像飞翔在辽阔天空...回去的快天黑了...路人和暴走等着向日葵色板官方回来...然后大家一起去吃晚饭...集体蛋炒饭8远一碗...虽然只是个蛋炒饭...却吃的向日葵色板官方有说有笑...励志要勤俭节约...一路吃蛋炒饭...绝不腐败...o(∩_∩)o 哈哈... .吃完之后我和暴走去了《千里走单》酒吧...其他人不去就先回K2休息了...这就真心贵啊...喝着心疼啊...小瓶装的嘉士伯480一打...向日葵色板官方只敢喝了半打...里面的乐队表扬很给力...差不多酒喝完了小尼姑和他那历史决定跟他一起出发的老婆到了...我们在K2碰头,在公共活动区聊天...虽然他在群里叫尼古...但我就是喜欢叫他小尼姑...这可以经过他女朋友同意的...o(∩_∩)o 哈哈...说他小,他一定都不小...20寸的车价都不够他骑的...也算向日葵色板官方队伍半个高富帅啊 ...我真的很佩服他...就那么临时决定就带着女朋友来了...他女朋友以前玩徒步的...体力不错...但是没有骑行过...而向日葵色板官方买的户外保温杯不给力啊..保温时间太短了...明天退货去....时间差不多了....该睡觉了....2012年9月15日...崭新的一天开始了...每天伴我起床的不再是闹钟...而是对梦想的追逐...起来洗了澡就去吃那家的包子了...实惠...不腐败...o(∩_∩)o 哈哈...不过今天出门没有骑车...去换了保温壶...大家又在做最后的购置工作...中午随便吃了个饵块向日葵色板官方就去车行了...小尼姑得帮他女朋友买辆自行车...下午向日葵色板官方去了丽江古城四方街...来到丽江不去大风车那走走看看中觉得少了什么...就好像去了北京不到长城非好汉的感觉...12年...又见大风车...记得第一次来丽江的时候...那是我12岁的时候...跟着爸爸单位来玩的...那时候人没有那么多...没有那么商业化...很舒服的地方...小桥流水人家...人民也很朴实...还记得那时爸爸给我在四方街买了个丽江粑粑很好吃...很大个...现在...很多东西都变了...不再是那个味道... 走在人少的巷子里...清静许多...心情也不会那么浮躁...向日葵色板官方用心的享受着出发前的每一分钟安逸..人头攒动...我突然就想到了到阳朔西街的时候....密密麻麻的头...比肩接踵...相比较之下束河要舒服很多...又不是慢摇吧...那么多人很烦的....全家福全家福....在大风车的时候向日葵色板官方照过一张全家福...但是现在照片在暴走那...他现在还在尼泊尔...拿不到照片...逛了一大圈大家都累了...也饿了...本来说去KFC...李里和暴走打算只买一杯咖啡...然后不停续杯两个人喝...最后向日葵色板官方走进了KFC又出来了...不许腐败...走了...不吃了...第一次干这种事情...弄的大家都笑伤了...也许这辈子不会再干第二次这种事情了...后来在大风车这里等“小哲和等待”,然后等待带我们去吃了鱼火锅...很好吃...辣的好爽啊...AA下来...每人30...吃完回去的时候天色也晚了...洗个澡好好休息...明天就出发了...2012年9月16日...骑行滇藏线第一天...这是向日葵色板官方正式出发的日子...6点半就起来了...可能是大家都对这段旅程充满了期待...没有一个人睡懒觉...说起床大家很麻利的就洗漱整理驼包...而“等待”也早早的到了包子店等我们过去吃早点...和他汇合...吃完早点出了县城就是个盘山...突然出来就这么爬坡还真心受不了...当时就在想才出发就是坡...而在整个滇藏线的过程中这都不叫坡...心里不禁打了个冷颤....上完山就是下山...所谓欠下的总是要还的...上了坡就要下坡...下完坡就要上坡...下完坡这里是一段平路...远远的能看到拉市海...10点30分向日葵色板官方到达拉市海...向日葵色板官方必须在天黑之前到达虎跳峡...所以并没有时间去拉市海划船骑马...不过能远远看你一眼就足够了...之后是缓上坡上坡上坡...一直要上到山顶上...路途中间休息的时候喝了一口早上吃早点接的豆浆...到山上都冰了...特别的甜特别的好喝...到这里就意味着有个大下坡下到山底...放着速度的冲啊...就像一只自由的小鸟...至于这个观景台观雄山和金沙江水...赶路要紧...冲破去咯...一路从观景台到这里都是下坡...算是这条线上第一个真正意义的下坡...但是弯道很多...角度很大...路上车辆很多...向日葵色板官方必须控制好车速...到这个三岔路口S308和G214的交汇处...向日葵色板官方将正式进入滇藏线214国道...在这里向日葵色板官方还遇到了一位大叔出来骑行50多天了...一路从新藏线骑到拉萨...在继续滇藏线出藏...聊了一会天...路人、暴走、向日葵色板官方3跑去旁边休息做了下身体拉升...来个全家福继续出发...岔路口右转进入214后...一个弯道接着一个弯道的下坡...一段起伏路接着一段起伏路...很多路段都在整修当中...好路烂路间隔出现...但是中的来说我觉得烂路比较少...就在下坡的地方小尼姑的女朋友骑车摔了...衣服上都是泥...变速出现了一点问...变速之后不会回弹...摔到了手...心疼啊...骑慢点....骑慢点....安全才是第一位啊...下午4点半向日葵色板官方到达了虎跳峡...都不想走了....本来今天是要到冲江河水电站的...但是大家都疲惫了...尼姑女朋友又受伤了...大家商量后决定就在这里住下...找了个旅社...间50一间(每人25)... 小哲和等待都有是导游...有导游证...就带向日葵色板官方去吃团餐...虎跳峡团餐...10个人10道菜...真的很美味...每个人20元...没人最少都吃了3碗...吃完回去..所有的人都在洗车洗衣服洗澡...向日葵色板官方绝对是个爱干净的队伍...导致最后一个国道全是车子和晾晒的衣服...骑行公里:88.43公里海拔:2250m爬升到2550m(丽江老君山)-1860m(虎跳峡镇)花费:50RMB备注:午饭需自带干粮2012年9月17日...向日葵色板官方还在睡梦中就被暴走的敲门声给吵醒...可能是头一天第一天长途...大家身体还没有完全适应...都感觉挺累的...这个夜晚...向日葵色板官方都睡的很香...很沉...直到暴走敲门敲了好一会...向日葵色板官方才醒来...每次起来洗漱完毕到把车驼包弄好...向日葵色板官方总要耽误1个小时左右的时间...也可算的上是些超级模特了...6点半起床...9点才吃好早点...你说是不是名模?在骑行的过程中...这个每天的早点是必须要吃好吃饱的...不然还没到中午你的身体可能就会出现虚脱了...本来路上就不是每个地方都有补给...有时候中午饭还只能吃干粮...在这样的情况下...早点就更是不可或缺的了...6元的早点是一大碗啊一大碗...味道还很好呢...我吃的是砂锅米线...再往西藏方向走过了这里可能就吃不到正宗的云南米线了..吃完早点向日葵色板官方就开始出发了...由于头一天夏言摔伤...今天起来手完全动不了了...没办法骑车...尼姑和夏言搭车去香格里拉等向日葵色板官方...而向日葵色板官方继续骑行前进...出镇子的时候向日葵色板官方去盖了邮戳...小贱这个神经病....叫人家邮局姐姐盖他手上...我说哥们...你怎么不改在脸上啊...多帅气啊...今天的路程不是缓上坡就是大上坡...几乎没什么下坡而言...一路上天气变化不断...一会大太阳...一会又下雨...这高原的太阳真的是太毒了...出太阳的时候...由于暴走穿着的是短款骑行裤..就那么10分钟的太阳...直接晒的通红...轻微晒伤...摸上去都会疼...今天还看到五彩云了..就那么一小朵...五颜绿色的...真好看...后来又下雨了...就这么一会下雨一会太阳...弄的向日葵色板官方穿衣服很不好穿...滇藏线上的蜗牛抠门骑行队就是向日葵色板官方了...哈哈...虽说向日葵色板官方说是要一路抠门...其实每天向日葵色板官方至少有一顿正餐是吃的很好的...才出来的时候总是对涂鸦特别的感兴趣...觉得很有趣...一定要把自己的名字印在滇藏的路上...好将来祭奠自己的这段旅程...写...看见空白的地方就写..才骑了20多公里我就有点骑不动了...驼包太重了...又一直都是缓上坡...我整个身体站起来都压不下去脚踏...还必须使劲登...这时候...好心的2号队长黑焰帮我驼了我的顶包...这也是我唯一的一次让队友帮我驼包...就这样他自己的三合一再加一个我的顶包..一直驼到了小中甸...也让我的这段路程没有那么艰难了...相对轻松了很多...果断决定到了香格里拉后把驼包重新整理...把废物发回家...精简在精剪... 冲江河过后...中午该吃饭了....向日葵色板官方在一个小卖铺门口开始吃干粮...不够的又跟老板买...还要了免费的热水...就是这个时候我们认识了啊东...他是广州 人...长的又高又帅...特别喜欢摄影...他这次是在丽江买的自行车只骑到香格里拉...然后去普达措的...跟我们一起骑到的香格里拉...一路上他都在摄影...可能是因为他平时在家经常踢球...所以体力还不错...俄迪隧道...我暴走啊东向日葵色板官方三个先到...然后等后面的宝贝...要过隧道了...不是每个队友都有前车灯...向日葵色板官方必须一起走....我找到的一块超干净的涂鸦地...必须写...就在俄迪隧道口...由于这个时候还没有和鬼宝、12、邱哥汇合...所以只有向日葵色板官方9个的名字了...我的字丑不要笑话哦.... 走这样的路就是要...不抬头...只要看着轮子下面的路就好...如果想让自己的心里好受点的话...直到骑到了这里...向日葵色板官方才停下来休息...谢谢黑焰帮我驮着顶包...这个家伙在家的时候每天上班下班60公里...所以体力挺好的...在路上总会遇到很多人坐在车里,然后向窗外伸出大拇指...对着向日葵色板官方喊...哥们牛B啊...然后扔下一堆汽车尾气扬长而去... 休息了好长一段时间...为什么还有三个人没到呢?....向日葵色板官方等了好一会...原来故事是这样的:骑这段路的时候等待在倒数第三个...小哲在倒数第二个...李理在最后...等待看这个大转弯好大好难骑...还大上破...要不...要不抄近路吧...叫着小哲就往公路下面的草地去了...这个时候李理也骑上来了...等待一个招手“李理,快来...哥带你抄近路...”...这家伙看看前面的路...果断的跟着下去了...还想着捡了大便宜...心里想着...前面的人都是大傻B...有近路不走...那么大的转弯还大上坡的...累死你们...就这样..三个人...兴高采烈的就去了...从这边的公路到对面的公路...对...这样他们可以减去大转弯的路程不走...就这么决定...三个人骑到了对面...但是要怎么上去上面的公路呢???草地离上面的公路有好高一大截呢...李里看了下地形....妈呀...被骗了...他正处于一处很容易塌方的地方...散落下来的石头很不稳定...把车子一辆辆抬上去是不可能的...他们打算坐下来商量下...正好也休息下....可是向日葵色板官方就不明白了...你休息归休息...你们还干了什么见不得人的事情了???居然被牛追着跑...跑了好大一截那牛才停止了追赶...最后是小哲把车一辆一辆抬着爬上了公路...此小插曲的终结以至于他们3个落在了向日葵色板官方后面好长一段距离...也消耗了他们太多的体力...云南十八怪:东边日出西边雨....这的天气就是那么怪...还好它奖励了向日葵色板官方一个大大的彩虹特别的漂亮...我听啊东说过...他小时候在山西好事那里的时候从来没有见过彩虹...他见过的所有的彩虹都是后来来到云南才看见的....这娃...静听一定又兴奋了...特别是又看到了七彩云... 继续前行抵达吉达牧草原...这里也被称为千湖山草原、小中甸草原...其实不大...就是山顶上一块面积很小的草地...不知何时被开发成所谓的景区...但在我看来每年藏历6月15日在这里举行的自藏族先民就传承下来的达拉节可能比草原本身更具有意义...就这么一路的骑啊骑 ...由于几乎一路都是上坡导致向日葵色板官方7点才到达小中甸...大家都没体力了...又饿又冷...如果继续2.30公里感到香格里拉的话...可能向日葵色板官方到11.12点才能到...而且不是每个人都带前车灯...就算都有前车灯夜骑也是很危险的...更何况后面还有三个淘气哥...反正我是不想走了...也走不动了...最后一致决定就在小中甸休息...等了他们有半个多小时他们三个才赶到...在餐馆点了一桌子好吃的...饿死了...22元每人...住了10元一晚的床位...那根本就是个昆虫世界...床上、枕头上都不时会有小虫子...墙角的虫子更厉害爬上爬下就像赶着去开会一样...一盏暗黄的灯...总有那么几只虫子还是什么飞蛾的在绕着它公转...没有电热毯...没插座...洗漱或者上厕所要走很远..黑漆漆的...外面还有两只拴着链子的藏獒...还好今天有点小小感冒...打开睡袋再加上被子和毛毯...我就那么沉沉的睡过去了...而路人害怕...都不敢住...跑到等待他们房间...小哲把床让给路人...自己跑去跟等待睡一块...以至于从这一晚之后他们成了好基友好丽友....我就一个人在一间睡到了大天亮...海拔:最高3160m...最低1790m...行程:67.78km消费:45RMB备注:几乎都是上坡...全程柏油路...路况较好...午餐需自带...2012年9月18日早上起来心情特别的好...想着马上就要到梦中的香格里拉了...马上又要和尼姑夏言汇合了...早餐6元一大碗面...在这里就开始用高压锅煮面条之类的了...海拔解释问...本来可以喝到纯手工打的酥油茶...但是后来向日葵色板官方队伍个个都要买...老板娘闲人多打不动就不卖了...悲催啊...早知道悄悄的啊...一路上风景都挺好的...几乎都是起伏路面加平路...没什么难度....这红红绿绿的很好看...但是走进去才知道是沼泽....今天的行程很简单...一点都不赶时间...我们早上差不多10点了才出发了...睡了个小小的懒觉...所以我们是一路玩着过去的...到这里已经很能感受到一些藏族的东西了....很多经幡....一般经幡上面有5种颜色...白色代表白云...蓝色代表天空...红色代表火...黄色代表土...绿色代表水...跟向日葵色板官方内地说的五行我点相似...这是岔路口的佛塔...佛塔岔口有三条路:左行至机场、前行上214国道...向日葵色板官方则跟着等待绕着这个大佛塔骑了一周才右转进入县城...穿过康珠大道去古镇跟尼姑汇合...这个转佛塔是有讲究的...一般转单不转双数...中午十分就到达了尼姑帮向日葵色板官方找好的鑫和源酒店...50一间的间...25一个人...环境很好...很舒服...停车也很方便...免费WIFI、电视、热水...中午吃了午饭点菜15元每人...然后上楼休息午睡...下午去车店保养了自行车...回来就开始洗一大堆的衣服...还好老板把他的洗衣机借我把洗好的衣服甩干...晚上我和暴走夜游香格里拉古城....古城口有个金光点缀的佛塔...很漂亮...果断转一圈....

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 locations 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 bir
