一段 快乐的驴行不至于在日后的岁月中变得支离破碎,为了与更多走过和未走过这条线的LZ分享旅途中的惊艳震撼,快乐痛苦,亲情友谊。。。游记因此变得十分必要。 我喜欢陌生的感觉,陌生能产生好奇,好奇有无限魔力,这个魔力吸引我一次次离家出走。。。 检索: 第一页 前言,路上点滴 第四页 丽江篇 第十页 队伍于泸沽湖畔集结完毕 第十七 穿越正式开始 三十四 风景渐入佳境 六十四 约会雪山 七十四 穿越结束 七十六 全剧终 群里很少有人说话,除了偶尔能碰到领队,其他要去的几个人一个比一个潜的深、隐的绝,连个沟通的机会都不给,我想他们是一群大隐者 ~! 曾被今朝有酒醉的帖子毒倒,夏天又错过两个走这条线的穿越队伍,这次无论什么情况我是一定要去的,10月21日下午我登上了开往成都的列车,开始了一场非同寻常的驴行~~ 金秋泸沽湖-亚丁穿越路线图:家乡--成都--攀枝花--丽江--泸沽湖--亚丁--稻城--理塘--新都桥--康定--泸定--雅安--成都--家乡 黄金周已过,这个季节出门车上的旅客不多,还没到西安我便有了自己的“卧铺”,一个人可以坐仨位。天空渐渐变得昏暗,半梦半醒间被刚上车的几个人吵醒,两男两女中年人,有说有笑风趣幽默,他们坐在我对面和过道另侧的座位上。不知什么时候我便成了他们中的一员,于是我的“卧铺”和对面的三人位便成了那夜向日葵色板官方轮换睡觉的地方,困了的睡觉,醒着的聊天,不觉孤单,不觉无聊。。。 其中的两位姐姐,容颜虽不年轻,笑容却很单纯 清晨,列车驶过广元,几年前曾和朋友自驾九寨沟,第一次踏上四川的土地,也是个清晨路过广元,那是个小雨迷离的清晨,秦岭南麓雨量充沛,云雾飘渺于山中,空气中透着潮湿,我很喜欢那种湿润的感觉。透过车窗寻找旧日足迹,山还是那样的山,而天空却升起一轮骄阳~~ 过了江油,过了绵阳,离成都越来越近了,不知哪个站上来一位衣着颇显些职业的四川mm坐在向日葵色板官方旁边的位置,大姐和她聊起了化妆品,化妆品牌,我如听天书,以为她是化妆品推销员,起码是做和化妆品有关的职业。很快到了终点站成都,我背上大包跨上小包准备下车,MM走在我身后,踏上月台的那一刻听到身后有异样的声响,回头看到她的行李箱卡在车门处,于是我们有了结识的理由。她叫芮莹,但不姓芮,美术专业的,去西宁导师的工作室,她的外表,着装,没一点艺术生的叛逆,却恰恰相悖。在我的印象中搞艺术的男的不是光头就是长发,衣着另类,不食人间烟火,从外形上就要搞得与众不同,彰显他们独具一格的个性,女的也一略同 向日葵色板官方在站外广场拍了照片,留了QQ相互道别,她买票去西宁,我去南站买票去攀枝花~~~芮莹 ME 超越,现居河南义马,祖国秀美的山川让我魂牵梦绕,于是喜欢背上行囊找寻陌生中的童话世界~~。在之后的8天穿越中,在8天的烈日暴晒下,用领队一句话形容我:摘了帽子,脱了冲锋衣,和当地原住民已无区分坐上公交穿城而过,成都给我的感觉很干净,高楼鳞次栉比,很繁华的大都市 曾经,多少人青涩的梦留在那片校园中,彼此不分贵贱,没有功利每每回首往事,可能独属那段时光最能勾人心神,不堪回首也好,刻骨铭心也罢~~。。如今,我已老去。。。脚印留下,故事陪伴一生 网上查的有成都南到攀枝花的始发车,买票时售票小姐告诉我说现在没有,那是节假日临时加开的,郁闷!!可能我在网上查询的方法有问,真晕,只好买了江油开往攀枝花的车票,离开车还有两三个小时,出来在站外路边店随便吃点东西顺便把手机充下电,到丽江还有两天的时间,如果手机要是没电了我岂不成了瞎子聋子,现代的通讯工具实在是太重要了上了车,还好,没我想像的糟糕,人同样不是很多,很顺利找个位置坐下来,想想黄山归来那次,在火车上可把向日葵色板官方几头驴整惨了,几个人举着大包在人满为患的车厢中穿越,那情景很雷人!和我坐一起的是位在攀枝花长大的大哥,人很热情,列车上人与人之间交流变得比较容易,可能是因为向日葵色板官方彼此陌生,没谁去关注你的过去、现在和未来。。。。夕阳渐渐消失在地平线,又一个暮色来临,大哥扒在桌上似乎已经睡去,我却感叹车轮下这条沉重的铁路。上世纪六七十年代,建国初年,国力薄弱,技术落后,为了国防、经济等建设需要,三线人豪情万丈念着毛主席语录,从祖国的四面八方来到这大西南的崇山峻岭,在大山深处,修铁路建工厂,他们用人海战术,用青春岁月,用血与汗铸造了一条条铁路,一座座工厂,用惊天地泣鬼神来形容他们的精神与壮举不觉丝毫夸张 列车驶进乐山车站,下车的人很多,过道对面只剩一个小姑娘了,于是我又一次拥有了“卧铺”的机会。小姑娘网名:洛若兮,据她讲取自《洛神赋》里的字,名字很别致很高古,听她说话却相当单纯,每说一句话最后都要抿嘴笑一下,时而四川话,时而四川普通话,很搞笑,单纯可爱属于她这个季节。 当聊起她的家庭,爸爸妈妈,听她的身世却有些凄楚,最疼爱她的奶奶也已离他而去,似乎这个世界上再没有更关心她的人了,祝愿她能生活的很好 洛若兮 天蒙蒙亮,攀枝花到了。大哥、我、洛若兮向日葵色板官方一同下了火车,车站外就有发丽江的大巴,我问了票价,要80元人民币,和我在网上查的不一致,我查的是客运中心去丽江的大巴有45元的,于是决定和大哥他俩一起坐公交去客运中心,中途洛若兮告别下了车,大哥一直把我送到到客运中心,他原本不在这下车,再此感谢了 。到售票厅买票,结果也是80,网络再次欺骗了我开往丽江的大巴一直就向日葵色板官方几个乘客,像专车,我得以在后面拿着相机左拍拍右拍拍攀枝花四季气候温和,比我想象中的重工业城市清洁,这座钢城沿江而建,在狭长的山谷中绵延数公里 一桥飞架南北,一江穿桥而过,她们可曾知道还有一颗满怀激情的心在她们身边悄悄经过中午吃饭,拍下向日葵色板官方乘坐的大巴 忽然发现,屋檐下一怒放的生命在斑驳的光影中傲然倔强、娇艳妩媚,于是拍下了行程中第一张还算满意的照片 车子继续前行,建筑和景观渐渐有了变化,山上的村落有点像彝族村寨,星星点点原以为只有在荒漠中成片生长的仙人掌在这个地方却爬满山头山上这样的树木也很特别 还有那记忆深刻,我却没拍下来的芭蕉叶,凤尾竹。记得小时候同学之间流行互相赠送日记本,它的最大特点是中间有美术或摄影插图,有祖国的名胜古迹,如:北京的长城,上海的外滩,南京的长江大桥,苏州的园林,安徽的黄山。。。也有少数民族的风情,如,蒙古的赛马,天山的羊群,藏族的舞蹈,傣族的泼水节。。。西南少数民族的歌舞、绘画作品多以凤尾竹,芭蕉叶做背景,那些长在内心的童年记忆如痴如梦,神秘而遥不可及,如今竟不经意间呈现在面前,而我却忘记了按下快门逆光下金沙江宛如一条巨龙奔腾在峡谷之间 彝族村舍散落在牧歌般的田园中,安详,静谧,勤劳,自足 山如画卷,气势恢宏,壮美之至溢于言表,自然的杰作往往给人意想不到的震撼 峰回路转,给我的第一感觉就是陶渊明笔下的桃花源惊现于眼前:“复行数十步,豁然开朗。土地平旷,屋舍俨然,有良口美池桑竹之属。阡陌交通,鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作,男女衣着,悉如外人。黄发垂髫并恰然自乐。 ”“先世避秦时乱,率妻子邑人来此绝境,不复出焉,遂与外人间。问今是何世,乃不知有汉,无论魏晋。”([]

现代文明社会很容易与低炭挂上钩,俺这里的低炭就是说贴子的口水尽量少喷些,简约嘛也就是文字少些花里花俏,要干净利索地直捣黄龙。 西藏大家也去的很滥了,风景也看厌了。俺也是,青藏线上的风景俺都很少瞧一眼,到是车厢里的藏族小朋友更吸引俺,风景永远都在,大家拱起屁股拍来拍去都是大同小异。可人物是鲜活的就很少有重复的啦。 在拉萨过年当然要去家庭温暖的场合了,年初一在妹子格桑拉姆的家里过,格桑拉姆是西藏的贵族后代,在1998年她上初中的时侯就认识她啦,后来每次来拉萨都会去她家看,她在陕西咸阳的西藏民族学院毕业后分到了政协工作。她弟弟在内地南通上过学,后来考去了天津南开大学,很温馨的一家子! 在春节前后十天里,中尼公路下起了暴雪,路封了,有些春节前提前去樟木的人都被困在聶拉林,进出不得,食品缼少,一桶方便面都卖到了三十元。 在拉萨时结识了三个旅伴拼车先从拉萨坐班车到日喀则,再从日喀则包车到老定日,老定日很难找车,这个天气没有车敢去,后来好不容易包了个车去聶拉木,半夜后车到聶拉木后马上找旅馆休息。这二天路上的雪被解放军淸理了很多,但还不能通车,前几天困在这里的游客也请了背夫徒步去了樟木,第二天俺们也请了背夫,一人50元帮俺们背包,刚开始走时都是结冰的路,一路有很多货车都在路上挂了,就这样公路走走又走走便道,走了十二小时就到了樟木。到了樟木后找不到路走只好去尼泊尔啦。 人物:从右到左 阿峰:广东湛江人,文艺青年,无业,平时搞些画画、设计 小悦:阿峰的女朋友,四川大学的研究生 小吴:南京人,复旦大学在读MBA 扎西:小学文化,住址不定,金牌无业青年扎西相关帖子连接:(汗斯推荐)【穷行印地】Mumbai----Chennai----Calcutta图文(68楼最新更新)https//bbs.8264.com/thread-346551-1-1.html【THAILAND】蓝蓝的天/蓝蓝的梦(KO PHI PHI)+(PHUKET)的几百张照片https//bbs.8264.com/thread-342525-1-1.html越南越走越南。。。。https//bbs.8264.com/thread-335652-1-1.html高棉的眼泪】------无数个骷髅头向你泣诉着柬埔寨的荣辱与兴衰https//bbs.8264.com/thread-377174-1-1.html在西宁告别了拜拜、老虎、楼蓝和二位表妹后坐上青藏铁路往拉萨而去。。。。准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲准备去拉萨朝圣的青海藏族乡亲路上的状况,大货车被困住了([]
谨以此帖纪念我永远怀念的老爸!七年前的八月,我将哥哥的骨灰撒在绥中六股河入海口。2014年8月12日,为了完成老爸的遗愿,我和娟子骑行十天,最终将老爸的骨灰也撒在这里。七年前,由于当时封海,租不到船,我只好孤身一人泅渡到入海口,把哥哥的骨灰撒完。我向回游的时候,被涌入大海的河水所困,精疲力尽之下,游上一座小岛,总算 逃过一劫。这次,我带了一件救生衣,将重复七年前的一幕,泅渡到入海口,将老爸的骨灰和哥哥的骨灰撒在同一个地方!相片中,右下角,用圆圈画出的,就是老爸了。年轻的时候,英姿飒爽!老爸最喜欢的户外活动,就是钓鱼。他每次出去钓鱼,都能钓到许多十斤以上的大鱼。(钓到王八,他都放生),这些鱼,能卖掉的,就当场卖掉。剩下的拿回家里,特意买了两个大冰柜专门用来储存。 今年初,由于老爸身体每况愈下,我和娟子从湖北回到沈阳照顾他(妈妈在我四岁的时候就去世了,哥哥在九年前去世了,老爸除了我再没别的亲人了)。半年后,老爸最终还是离我而去,我和娟子决定用骑行的方式来送老爸最后一程。去程:沈阳——辽中——台安——盘锦——锦州——葫芦岛——兴城——绥中——六股河入海口(走滨海公路)返程:六股河入海口——绥中—— 兴城——葫芦岛——凌海——盘锦——台安——辽中——沈阳(走102国道) 感谢我现在唯一的亲人——娟子的一路陪伴。我俩共同经历的无数风险,共同面对的许多困难,都让我铭记于心,刻骨难忘!所有付出的艰辛与汗水,都化作了浓浓之情。这将是我最宝贵的财富!一路上,烈日,暴晒,狂风,暴雨,电闪,雷鸣,逆风,沙尘,搓板路,弹坑路,起伏路,涉水路,没有路的路,所有的一切,都不能阻止我和娟子滚滚向前的车轮!在沙尘最大的时候,老天适时的给我俩掉下一点小雨;在几十公里没有树荫的滨海公路上,暴风雨倾泻下来的前一分钟,我和娟子神奇般的找到一个大棚子来躲避;连续几天顶着灰蒙蒙的雾霾骑行,然而在到达终点六股河入海口,我下水去撒老爸骨灰的时候,天空居然碧空万里,水天一色!;十天的骑行,我和娟子两辆车子没有一点毛病,连爆胎都没有,难道这就是8264骑友们经常说的“人品”吗?不知道所有的这一切,是否都是老爸在冥冥之中帮助我俩呢?感谢路上遇到无数骑友对我俩的鼓励和支持,感谢徐大堡镇的刘大哥,在我和娟子投宿无门,准备露营的时候,热情邀请我俩去他的农场过夜。虽然和每个人都是擦肩而过,但我永远会记住你们,好人一生平安! 骑行至龙回头的时候,娟子哭了。一路上无论多苦,她都在默默的承受。但由于我在极度劳累饥饿闷热汗透的情况下,心情不好,嫌她骑的太慢而对她大吼,她憋了多日的眼泪终于流了下来。在这里,我只想说一句:“媳妇儿,对不起!”千里走双骑第一天:2014年8月12日早上五点,我和娟子准备好了一切,把老爸的骨灰盒装进一个旅行包中,固定在我的后货架上,就要出发了。虽然天还没有大亮,但这时候正好凉快。骑出市区,导航推荐的路线是开发大道——沈西大道。这一路的路况非常好,我和娟子骑行的速度也很快。但美中不足的是,出沈阳79公里,一直没遇到打尖的饭店。在六间房镇附近,我俩又累又饿,实在不行了,找了一条小路下道,寻到一个村庄,买了一些吃的。又找到一条小河,岸边绿树成荫,我俩在这里搭帐休息。下午四点半,收拾东西,继续出发。天黑的时候,入住台安县城。清晨的开发大道。地铁十三号街站,是终点站。这也志着我和娟子即将骑出沈阳市区。出四环了。流动补胎的师傅,晚上就睡在路边。好大的一片野花。前面什么情况?好像在修桥。拉近镜头,果然是在修桥。希望下面的便道不要太长。拐上便道,大概一公里左右,重新回到又宽又平的大道上。路边都是一望无际的玉米地。无论今后的路有多长,希望我和娟子永远能这样并肩骑行。路的中间,修有隔离带。这时候大概已经七点多钟了,阳光很强烈。真希望能在树荫下骑行啊!鹭岛湖?我咋没听说过?距离辽中还有三十公里的时候,我和娟子已经一口气骑出近四十公里了。找到一块树荫,我俩停下来喝了点水,每人补充一块士力架。继续出发!路边一望无际的玉米地,变成了一望无际的稻田地。唉!可怜的小刺猬。天堂里不会再有车来车往,只会有神的光芒。“沈阳近海经济区欢迎您”?怎么我刚出家门,就到近海经济区了吗?天上的云彩看起来有点意思。应该是飞机拉出来的。这是沿途所看到的第一台采油机。这种机器将会越来越多的出现。和路边的养护工人聊了一会儿。他们每月工资只有900元,还未达到最低工资准。而且公路处只给他们交一份意外伤害险,其余什么待遇都没有了。我曾经在公路部门工作过,深知里面的黑暗。这里右拐进入S102,就快到辽中了。([]
最近几天在预订下个月去日本的一系列事项,繁复的资料查找,比较机票、酒店性价比,锁定目以及安排预订等等,不由得想起来之前几次的“折腾”。从巴厘岛,到韩国,再到日本,但凡是自由行,必然要经过犹如“产前阵痛”一般的折磨。当一切尘埃落定终于可以松一口气的时候,才是旅途得以享受的开始。今天不说别的,就说说巴厘岛十日自由行的准备。去年11月中旬出发,Maple9月初就开始着手进行准备。本来想等10月份携程自由行价格出来,但考虑到自己预订自由性更大,且可以选择最优解决方案,因此Maple再一次秀逗,毅然决然担当起8人出行巴厘岛10日自由行的全部安排工作。第一步:确定出行时间,预订机票。机票无疑是自由行总预算中占比最大的,因此一定早下手抢特价票。9月初开始看机票价格,各大航空都是往返含税7000多。熬到9月中,新航突然出现了特价,这无疑是一个可以出手购票的信号。在这里还有一个小窍门。向日葵色板官方都知道ctrip或者去哪儿这样的机票查询平台,其实从平台查个大概后,国际航班还是建议直接去各航空公司的网站上查询价格,往往,官网上的价格会更加优惠,也更及时。枫叶邀请您泰国普吉岛自由行(风景&人妖&美食&买物大赏)独家攻略!更新结束!https//bbs.8264.com/forum-viewthread-tid-1285729-highlight.html巴厘岛位于南纬八度,想从北京过去,必定要中转一次。可以选择的方案有:新加坡航空,中转新加坡;马来西亚鹰航,中转吉隆坡;大韩航空,中转首尔;国泰航空,中转香港;泰国航空,中转曼谷;印尼航空,中转雅加达。综合考虑各航空后,发现新航的航班最多;提前2个多月预订往返含税机票价是5308元,很是优惠;并且新航中转新加坡,总计飞行时间也是偏短的。而且还考虑到在新加坡中转,可以顺便游览这个亚洲有名的花园城市,实在是一举夺得。经过一系列的抉择,所以将目锁定在了新航往返巴厘岛上。第二步,机票预订。决定了航空公司,这只是机票预订的第一步。新航的航班非常多,每天从北京巴厘岛中转的航班有不下10个时间可以选择。期间的差别就是有的停留时间短,有的停留时间长。中转时间短的,在新加坡只会停留1个半小时;中转时间长的,可以停留25个小时。因此决定具体飞行时间,满足新加坡一日游的安排,是第二步要考虑的。考虑到旅行前期精力充沛,旅行结束回家心切,因此Maple安排了11月11日下午出发,晚上抵达新加坡;11月12日下午1845航班到巴厘岛。促使Maple做了这样的决定,也是因为Maple在新航的网站上看到了这样一项向日葵视频色板APP官网:第三步,预定好往返机票,下一步就是预订在新加坡的酒店了。新航不愧是以向日葵视频色板APP官网著称的航空公司,果然想得相当周到。Maple和X君看到Singapore stopover holiday,当时就决定采用这个向日葵视频色板APP官网来完成向日葵色板官方的新加坡一日之旅。1. 新加坡过境随意行(酒店住宿+接送向日葵视频色板APP官网+景点游览)包括相应等级酒店一夜住宿 在您留宿的SSH酒店,享受餐饮店单点菜单50%的折扣 机场与酒店间往返巴士接送( seat-in-coach) 免费乘坐新航随意行巴士(SIA Hop-on Bus) 享用亚坤咖啡厅(Ya Kun)的咖啡/茶和吐司 免费参观圣淘沙度假屋、国家胡姬花园、新加坡游河观光、裕廊飞禽公园、新加坡动物园、牛车水原貌馆、位于福康宁的碉堡及滨海湾高尔夫球练习场。 2. 新加坡过境随意行(酒店住宿+接送向日葵视频色板APP官网)包括相应等级酒店一夜住宿 机场与酒店间往返巴士接送 这两个向日葵视频色板APP官网选择,每人仅仅差别6美金,但多了6美金,就可以多享受随意行巴士和免费早餐,因此Maple为整个Team选择了(酒店+接送+旅游景点)的SSH向日葵视频色板APP官网。第四步:预订SSH购买了新航或胜安航空的机票,才可以继续购买SSH。而且目前新加坡过境随意行无法通过泰国、中国、日本和阿拉伯联合大公国的网站购买。这的确难坏了Maple。Maple尝试了从新航的新加坡网址购买,不行;试图查找新航网站上负责SSH的得运旅行社(Tradewinds Tours & Travel) 的联络方式,不行;给新航北京办事处打电话,不行。最后逼得没办法只能给新航新加坡办事处打电话,然后得到了得运旅社的电话,然后电话+邮件预订,才搞定了一切。预订SSH时候,需要提供机票的预订编号(booking reference),而非其他“number”。还记得当时打电话到新加坡,一切都是英文回复,当对方要我的booking reference时候,Maple实在没有反应过来,搞得对方大姐很是郁闷,几次都要挂断电话。当时Maple真是Hold住场面要对方耐心等我一遍遍check。最后的预订成功,绝对是付出了很大的努力的说。尤其当时还在预订12月3人首尔自由行的客栈,一切麻烦事如同毛线球一样择不开,还好结果是好的。现在想起来那是后还真是悲催。不过,没有事前的努力,怎可能获得后期的完美旅行呢。大家要注意了,这个是预订SSH的邮件地址:tradewinds_ssh@singaporeair.com.sg电话是+65 6506 7797(新加坡的电话号码)预订邮件参考写法:Hello i want to book SSH Mybooking referenceJNWSCD i want to book the hotelHotel Royal for 7 people. i need 4 rooms i stay in singapore on Fri, 11 NOV 2011 thank u very much预订后,会很快收到对方回复,按照要求一步步署信用卡授权书,用国际信用卡付款,最后大功告成。抵达新加坡樟宜机场时,无论T2还是T3,出关后在麦当劳旁边都可以找到新加坡过境随意行柜台。拿着最后邮件过来的收据,就可以享受一系列预定好的向日葵视频色板APP官网啦。辛苦辛苦~~不辛苦不辛苦~~一大叠门票、早餐券、接送机的车票券,用的时候撕下来就好。每人发一个徽章,这个徽章会在全程乘坐随意行巴士时候当做车票使用。狮城新加坡-亚坤咖椰烤面包从寒冷的北京出发,深夜抵达美丽的花园城市。一接触到雨后泥土的芳香,因为夜色无法看清的街景却可以完整的浮现于脑海。想象着第二天美丽的热带风情和繁华的国际化都市,一夜好眠。在新加坡的第一餐,是SSH安排的亚坤。之前没有了解,事后才发现,原来亚坤在新加坡是如此深入人心。一早在酒店问好地址,从下榻的Hotel Royal门口乘坐公车4站,到Far East Plaza站,每人票价1.8新币。下车后回走5分钟,在Far East Plaza的地下一层,就是Ya Kun Kaya Toast。新加坡人英语很好,问路一点都不成问,而且问的人都知道亚坤的位置,Maple那时候心里就觉得,这地儿挺神!话说这烤土司,外层香脆,里面夹了咖椰酱和牛油,很是香甜。当地食客还会点一碟洒上黑酱油及胡椒粉的半生熟蛋,配着咖椰烤面包一起儿吃。据说专属的Kaya秘方,制作方式自其1944年创始以来就不曾改变。Kaya Toast with Butter 2新币,2片Kaya Peanut Toast 2新币,2片Crackers with Kaya 1.6新币,2套咖啡/茶 1.5新币咖椰(Kaya)酱小资料:咖椰酱是由鸡蛋,糖,椰浆,香兰叶调配而已,是完全的本地风味。咖椰酱分别有绿色和蛋黄色。亚坤店铺里有卖瓶装的Kaya酱,小后悔没有带点回来。除了乌节路这家亚坤,在后面去的摩天轮下面也有一家。个人认为,无论新加坡还是马来餐,口味偏甜,这可以体现在他们的咖啡、奶茶以及面食各个方面。同团的boss吃不惯甜味的早餐,因此自己到隔壁买了一份更加传统的面食。都知道新加坡物价贵,超市里一罐可乐就要3新币左右,但是还别说,这样一套面食+一罐可乐只要3马币,可谓便宜哉。 Far East Plaza下面的小食店,早晨10点不到,路面还没有很多人,但这里人气很兴旺。(
五千米春夏秋冬,二十天风花雪月。——2012年,安娜普尔娜大环线徒步暨尼泊尔旅行漫记NEPAl Annapurna Circuit TREK(ACT),Once is Not Enough!应该说,我是一个懒人。自从尼泊尔旅行归来,已经好几个月了。当时一起出行的同伴在8264发的帖子也早已结束,而我的游记却一拖再拖,一直未见踪影。这也难怪,回国后的最初一段时间,我的脑子几乎一片空白,好像得了失忆症。然后慢慢的恢复了记忆,才开始动笔。繁忙而无聊的工作也开始日复一日,我只能每天晚上抽点空写上一小段。本来想也就是做个简单的旅行记录,可不曾想,边写边回忆起越来越多的内容,包括细节,包括经历,包括心情,于是,游记越写越多,于是,我决定尝试着把所有的内容都写进去。就这样,一部长长的游记渐渐出炉了。天呐!我可从没写过这么长的文章啊!我都不相信怎么能写这么多?也许这次行程对我来说实在是太过丰富,有太多感想太多思考,我都不忍舍弃。我不知道有多少人能耐着性子把它看完,其实到发帖的这一天,我的游记还没最终写完。下面就把游记陆续上传,也算是对这次行程的一次交代。 五千米春夏秋冬,二十天风花雪月。——2012年,安娜普尔娜大环线徒步暨尼泊尔旅行漫记Nepal Annapurna Circuit Trek(ACT),Once is Not Enough!Annapurna Circuit(ACT)安娜普尔娜大环线是世界级的徒步线路,在世界十大经典徒步线路中排名第一位。为了完成这次出国旅行的大长线,前期的各项工作可不是一个小工程。要算起来,在去年10月份完成川西游之后,就基本上开始在酝酿和筹划2012年的长线计划了。年底,最终决定今年去尼泊尔,主要目的就是去走安娜普尔娜大环线。这也是我第一次出国旅行,为了顺利完成此次行程,我做了大量的前期工作,参考了很多前人攻略,搜集了各类大环相关资料,包括:气候、温度、海拔、路程、班车、向导和背夫,以及尼泊尔饮食、文化、宗教等诸多方面,另外还有护照、证、汇率、陆路和航班等相关信息。经过反复斟酌比较,今年年初最终确定选择来回直飞的方式。接下来的半年多里,一步步开始了各项准备工作。4月初办好了护照,4月底买到了4飞联程打折机票,8月办好了30天证,其他的日子里一方面添置和补充户外装备,一方面不断完善行程计划。7月份,偶然机会在网上看到尼泊尔“格桑情缘”家庭旅馆,加入QQ群了解尼泊尔相关信息,又偶然在网上看到郑州的青石在约伴去大环,与之联系后惊奇发现向日葵色板官方竟然是同一航班,真是有缘。青石建立QQ群,同行队伍逐渐壮大,群里每天都在反复论证行程计划、确定人员名单、商讨出行方式,真是热闹非凡。9月初,购买出境游保险、单位请年休假,队伍名单也最终确认,万事俱备,就等待着出发的日子了!2012年9月20日上午,我踏上了去尼泊尔的行程。2012年10月13日中午,安全返回阜阳,尼泊尔之旅结束,来回共计24天。★选择直飞,一来是为了节省时间,因为如果先坐火车或飞机到拉萨,然后再坐班车或租车到樟木口岸,再包车去加德满都,马不停蹄至少也要4天,来回就要8-9天,太浪费时间太疲劳。二来,直飞花费并没有想象中的高,向日葵色板官方4月份买到的合肥-昆明-加德满都往返4飞联程机票总价才3千4百多块钱,而且是包含所有税费的,超级便宜吧!算算和走陆路差不多了。先把尼泊尔之旅的总行程表公布一下。尼泊尔之旅总日程表:D1:9月20日 阜阳-合肥-昆明D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都(入住Thamel泰米尔区格桑情缘旅馆)D3:9月22日 加德满都-BesisaharD4:9月23日 Besisahar-Syange-JagatD5:9月24日 Jagat-Tal-BagarchhapD6:9月25日 Bagarchhap-Thanchowk-CHAMED7:9月26日 CHAME-Dhikur Pokhari-Up PisangD8:9月27日 Up Pisang-Ngawal-MANANGD9:9月28日 MANANG-Gunsang-Yak KharkaD10:9月29日 Yak Kharka-Thorung PhediD11:9月30日 Thorung Phedi-High Camp-Thorung La Pass-MuktinathD12:10月1日 Muktinath-JOMSOM-MarphaD13:10月2日 Marpha-Tukche-GhasaD14:10月3日 Ghasa-TatopaniD15:10月4日 Tatopani-Beni-Pokhara(博卡拉)D16:10月5日 Pokhara(博卡拉)-Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D17:10月6日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D18:10月7日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)-加德满都(格桑情缘旅馆)D19:10月8日 Swayambhunath寺(斯瓦扬布纳特寺,俗称猴庙)-加德满都杜巴广场D20:10月9日 Bodhnath大佛塔(博达哈大佛塔)- Pashupatinath(帕斯帕提那寺,俗称烧尸庙)D21:10月10日 Bhaktapur(巴克塔普尔,即巴德岗)D22:10月11日 格桑情缘旅馆发呆-Thamel(泰米尔区)闲逛购物-聚餐D23:10月12日 加德满都-昆明-合肥D24:10月13日 合肥-阜阳总行程大致分为三部分:一、安娜普尔娜大环线徒步(D3-D15)。D3:9月22日 加德满都-BesisaharD4:9月23日 Besisahar-Syange-JagatD5:9月24日 Jagat-Tal-BagarchhapD6:9月25日 Bagarchhap-Thanchowk-CHAMED7:9月26日 CHAME-Dhikur Pokhari-Up PisangD8:9月27日 Up Pisang-Ngawal-MANANGD9:9月28日 MANANG-Gunsang-Yak KharkaD10:9月29日 Yak Kharka-Thorung PhediD11:9月30日 Thorung Phedi-High Camp-Thorung La Pass-MuktinathD12:10月1日 Muktinath-JOMSOM-MarphaD13:10月2日 Marpha-Tukche-GhasaD14:10月3日 Ghasa-TatopaniD15:10月4日 Tatopani-Beni-Pokhara(博卡拉) 二、前往释迦牟尼诞生地蓝毗尼的朝圣之旅(D16-D18)。D16:10月5日 Pokhara(博卡拉)-Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D17:10月6日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D18:10月7日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)-加德满都(格桑情缘旅馆) 三、世界文化遗产之旅(D19-D21)。D19:10月8日 Swayambhunath寺(斯瓦扬布纳特寺,俗称猴庙)-加德满都杜巴广场D20:10月9日 Bodhnath大佛塔(博达哈大佛塔)- Pashupatinath(帕斯帕提那寺,俗称烧尸庙)D21:10月10日 Bhaktapur(巴克塔普尔,即巴德岗) 回国后很长一段时间,我的脑子都是一片空白,人也傻乎乎的,特别懒散。逼着自己一边对着照片一边对着地图,面对那些稀奇古怪的英文地名,努力回忆那一个个曾走过的地方,终于完成了这份行程表。大约半个月后,记忆才开始一段段的恢复,梦中还一直出现徒步大环的场景。 ★尼泊尔被誉为“徒步者的天堂”,有着世界上最多、最好、最美、最完善的徒步路线,其中最负盛名的便是环Annapurna地区线路及珠峰地区线路。 Annapurna地区位于尼泊尔北部,喜马拉雅山中段。Annapurna山脉高峰林立,海拔7000米以上的雪峰共有7座主峰,其中主峰Annapurna I峰海拔8091米,在世界超过8000米的高峰中排名第十位。这里主要有三条徒步路线:Jomsom、Annapurna Sanctuary(ABC)和Annapurna circuit(ACT大环线)。而大环线无疑是其中最美的一条!其海拔从700多米一步步上升到海拔5416米的Thorong la pass(陀龙垭口),再一步步下降到820米的Pokhara(博卡拉),垂直高度的变化带来了绝美的风景体验。 按照官方的准走法,Annapurna Circuit Trek(ACT) 安娜普尔娜大环线徒步一共要21天,其中包括在MANANG和JOMSOM各休整一天,所以实际是18-19天,很多老外采取这种走法,还有的甚至长至一个月时间。按准行程去走大环,每天徒步的时间不长,走的路也不多,让你有更多的时间去享受徒步过程中的美景和心情,那是相当浪漫和惬意的。 向日葵色板官方因没那么多时间,就采用了比较快速的走法,前后总共用了13天(9月22日-10月4日)完成了Annapurna大环线的徒步,具体情况将在后面的游记中详细叙述。其实对于在国内常常活动的驴友来说,两周走完全程一点都没问。 大环线以Thorong la pass(陀龙垭口)为界分为东线和西线两大段,在东线的上升过程中,你会看到森林、草甸、田园、村落、瀑布、雪山;在翻过垭口之后,你会立即感受到西线与东线风景的差异之大:荒凉的河谷和裸露的山体,恐怖的狂风和肆虐的沙尘暴,而荒凉河谷边那世外桃源般的美丽藏寨和苹果庄园,也一定给你带来一种梦幻般的惊喜。 这就是Annapurna大环,无论自然还是人文,都成为途中不断变化的风景。 上下近五千米的海拔落差,让你体验一次春夏秋冬的变换; 前后共十三天的一路跋涉,让你经历一回风花雪月的旅程。 这绝对是一次能让你终生难忘的旅行。 走完这条世界级经典徒步线路之后,我最大的感触就是:如果有机会,我一定还会再去的! 下面就让我的游记带大家走一次吧! D1:9月20日 阜阳-合肥-昆明 9月20日上午,我和老刘乘坐1003的K60/61次火车离开阜阳,发哥、老丁、笑、小尹、老刘夫人一行到车站给向日葵色板官方送行。火车晚点,13点多才到合肥。老同学小魏和另一位旅行同伴老朱开车接站,抵老朱家后去吃午饭,16点小魏驱车把向日葵色板官方三人送至机场,18:40乘坐东航MU5591次航班飞昆明,2200,抵达昆明长水国际机场。 昆明长水国际机场是今年六月份刚刚启用的新机场,设施完备,气派豪华,可与浦东国际机场媲美。机场超大,仅登机口就有七十多个!向日葵色板官方下了飞机走到取行李处就差不多了走了十分钟。由于是新机场,周边配套基础设施都没搞起来,距离市区也很远,第二天一大早还要提前两小时过安检,算算剩不下几个小时了,于是决定就在机场凑合一夜。夜里睡在机场的长条凳上倒也不错,不过由于我的大意,夜里可能受了凉,又拉肚子又感冒,折腾了一夜,真是出师不利啊!老朱倒是干脆把睡袋拿出来用,睡了一个好觉。 D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都 终于囫囵熬过一夜,一大早,向日葵色板官方第一批换了登机牌,为了能在飞机上看到喜马拉雅雪山,特地让值机人员给了三个靠右窗的座位。稍后,与网络约伴大环同行者青石等一行四人汇合,他们是前一天上午到的昆明,当晚住到市区去了,向日葵色板官方将乘坐同一航班前往加都。 老刘的登机序号是001号,座位是35L,谁知上了飞机才发现,前后排都有窗户,我和老朱的36L、37L都是窗户,偏偏老刘的35L右侧没窗户!哈哈,当时老刘郁闷啊!在此也提醒朋友们乘坐的如果是空客320机型,换登机牌时千万不要选35L!安检时间到了,昆明机场的安检人员不是海关人员,而全部是边防武警,检查也特别严格,同行好几人都被要求脱鞋检查。由于受到航空管制,正点955起飞的东航MU757次航班晚点半小时起飞,由昆明直飞加德满都。在抵达加都前半小时左右,看到了在天际间一字排开的喜马拉雅雪山群峰在阳光下熠熠生辉蔚为壮观。 由于昆明的维度比加德满都低,航线大致是从东南向西北飞的,不像成都、拉萨飞加都的航线是直接从喜马拉雅山脉上跨越,因此距离喜马拉雅雪山比较远,但依然可以清晰的识辨出珠峰。北上的印度洋暖流受到高大的喜马拉雅山脉阻隔,都聚集到山脉之南,因此尼泊尔只有旱季雨季之分。我们抵达的时间正值尼泊尔雨季的末尾,云层仍然很厚,一大团一大团的云朵静止般悬浮在加都上空,有的像棉花糖,有的像羊群,有的像一个孤岛,看上去别有一番味道。飞机在空中盘旋了数圈之后开始降落了,向日葵色板官方于尼泊尔时间11点左右(尼泊尔与中国时差2小时15分钟)安全抵达加德满都特里布万国际机场。 刚下飞机就感受到了强烈的阳光和闷热潮湿的空气,如果不是事先就知道的话,你简直不相信不远处那幢低矮老旧的三层红砖楼房就是赫赫有名的加德满都特里布万国际机场大楼!与昆明机场相比简直就是天壤之别,因为它看上去很像国内七、八十年代的那种老式厂房或仓库,现在国内的大多数汽车站都要比它强的多!尼泊尔还是穷啊! 随着人流来到装潢简陋,设施陈旧的入境大厅,工作人员穿着便装坐在普通的椅子上办公,好像没见到有电脑,真是寒酸啊!大厅里人来人往乱哄哄的,好多人忙着去填入境卡,向日葵色板官方的入境卡在飞机上已经填过了,就直接去排队入境。入境的乘客大致分成三队,一队好像是尼国或印度人,一队大多是老外,人家的护照是可以免或落地的,而我们这一队是需要验证的。按照官方的规定,中国游客去尼泊尔可以办理落地,但如果你没有证的话,中国海关是不会让你出关的,因此,这种所谓的落地待遇形同虚设,你还是必须要先办好证才行,除非你是从第三国入境,而不是直接从国内出境。真是不出国不知道中国人在国际上的待遇有多低!偏偏老刘的35L不靠窗晕,第一次在8264发帖,怎么还要审核?每帖只能发三张图片,不习惯啊。D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都 终于囫囵熬过一夜,一大早,向日葵色板官方第一批换了登机牌,为了能在飞机上看到喜马拉雅雪山,特地让值机人员给了三个靠右窗的座位。稍后,与网络约伴大环同行者青石等一行四人汇合,他们是前一天上午到的昆明,当晚住到市区去了,向日葵色板官方将乘坐同一航班前往加都。 老刘的登机序号是001号,座位是35L,谁知上了飞机才发现,前后排都有窗户,我和老朱的36L、37L都是窗户,偏偏老刘的35L右侧没窗户!哈哈,当时老刘郁闷啊!在此也提醒朋友们乘坐的如果是空客320机型,换登机牌时千万不要选35L!安检时间到了,昆明机场的安检人员不是海关人员,而全部是边防武警,检查也特别严格,同行好几人都被要求脱鞋检查。由于受到航空管制,正点955起飞的东航MU757次航班晚点半小时起飞,由昆明直飞加德满都。在抵达加都前半小时左右,看到了在天际间一字排开的喜马拉雅雪山群峰在阳光下熠熠生辉蔚为壮观。 由于昆明的维度比加德满都低,航线大致是从东南向西北飞的,不像成都、拉萨飞加都的航线是直接从喜马拉雅山脉上跨越,因此距离喜马拉雅雪山比较远,但依然可以清晰的识辨出珠峰。北上的印度洋暖流受到高大的喜马拉雅山脉阻隔,都聚集到山脉之南,因此尼泊尔只有旱季雨季之分。向日葵色板官方抵达的时间正值尼泊尔雨季的末尾,云层仍然很厚,一大团一大团的云朵静止般悬浮在加都上空,有的像棉花糖,有的像羊群,有的像一个孤岛,看上去别有一番味道。飞机在空中盘旋了数圈之后开始降落了,向日葵色板官方于尼泊尔时间11点左右(尼泊尔与中国时差2小时15分钟)安全抵达加德满都特里布万国际机场。 刚下飞机就感受到了强烈的阳光和闷热潮湿的空气,如果不是事先就知道的话,你简直不相信不远处那幢低矮老旧的三层红砖楼房就是赫赫有名的加德满都特里布万国际机场大楼!与昆明机场相比简直就是天壤之别,因为它看上去很像国内七、八十年代的那种老式厂房或仓库,现在国内的大多数汽车站都要比它强的多!尼泊尔还是穷啊!

远眺喜马拉雅远处的喜马拉雅山脉,最高的那座就是珠峰加都上空的云朵开始降落进入入境大厅低矮老旧的机场大楼简陋的大厅工作人员的工作条件很原始让向日葵色板官方再来看看乘坐从成都-拉萨-加德满都航班的队友拍摄的珠峰吧,离得可真近啊,直接跨越喜马拉雅山脉。 坐车直奔事前联系好的“格桑情缘”家庭旅馆。市区街道上几乎没见到有红绿灯,汽车、摩托车、三轮车、自行车、行人混乱不堪地拥挤在一起,毫无规章制度可言,不时见到那些警察吹着哨子手忙脚乱得来回奔走着指挥,却不见有什么效果。一路上无论大街小巷都是尘土飞扬,大多人都带着口罩,路边小商小贩、各色人等熙熙攘攘、嘈杂喧闹,如果把店铺招牌文字换成中文的话,简直就是回到了国内的乡镇集市。呵呵,这就是尼泊尔的首都。 中巴好像穿过了无数个大街小巷似的,终于来到了位于Thamel(泰米尔区)的“格桑情缘”家庭旅馆,老板Angel在巷口等向日葵色板官方。放下行李顾不上吃饭,就立马由走陆路提前到达的队员浮云带路,打车去尼泊尔旅游局办理ACAP(进山许可证)和TIMS(徒步游客信息管理系统)。尼泊尔旅游局也是一幢不大的红砖小楼,庭院倒还整洁干净,向日葵色板官方一到地方就领了申请表开始填写那一大堆英文项目。很多老外也在认真的填写,有坐着的、站着的、趴着的,有对照地图的,对照护照的,还有对照打印好的攻略的,只见操着各种语言,各种肤色的人拥挤在申请大厅里七嘴八舌的相互询问,可真热闹。经过又一番忙乱之后,终于办好了两个重要的证件,然后再次打车穿过混乱的城区返回Thamel(泰米尔区)寻找合适的商铺换钱。 我们最终在一家旅行社以1:14.15汇率每人换了4000元人民币。老朱又去买了一张当地Ncell(尼泊尔移动)电话卡供向日葵色板官方仨公用。回到房间躺到床上,身体像散了架似的,午饭没吃就紧张奔波了一下午,好在各项必须办理的前期工作总算顺利完成,终于可以休息一下了。 徒步大环的队员陆续到齐,晚上,大家一同前往“重庆味饭店”开碰面会和聚餐,会上确定了团队的会计、出纳,以及最后确定行程等诸多事宜,队长青石特别重申了徒步行程中的基本纪律和原则等重点事项。这是到尼泊尔后的第一顿饭,也是第一顿中国餐,之后一直到10月4日环线结束后到了博卡拉才再一次吃到中餐。 在加都的第一夜,我睡得一点都不好,一是附近一个酒吧音乐震天响到半夜,二是我在昆明机场冻得感冒此时变得更重了。加都街景一瞥加都旅游管理局忙碌的填表★ACAP许可证TIMS许可证可以在加都和博卡拉办理,费用:ACAP许可证2000Rs。TIMS许可证分为个人和团队两种:个人许可证20美元,团队许可证只需10美元,但必须由有资质的旅游公司代办,均可折算成Rs支付。尼泊尔是周六公休,尼泊尔人工作效率低和态度懒散是出了名的,一般下午4点多就下班了,向日葵色板官方是周五到的,所以才赶那么急去办理,不然只能等到周日才能办证,白白浪费两天时间。★格桑情缘家庭旅馆是来自中国的Angel(天使)开办的,位于Thamel(泰米尔区)西侧People'sCampus对面的巷子里,一栋单独的四层小楼,房间100卢比-300卢比一晚,非常适合穷游的驴友!老板Angel人非常好,从她那可以了解到很多信息,极力推荐去格桑情缘住宿。地址是:People's Campus,Paknajol,Thamel,Kathmandu。联系方式 +977 9813687531(尼泊尔电话),国内电话13100515703(只接收短信),QQ:875547952(请注明原因),链接:https//tieba.baidu.com/p/1691430816?pn=1路经大名鼎鼎的凤凰宾馆晚上聚餐碰头会 ★格桑情缘家庭旅馆客栈里的花客栈庭院客栈走廊楼梯 ★格桑情缘家庭旅馆 一、安娜普尔娜大环线徒步之旅(D3-D15) D3:9月22日 加德满都(1300m)-Besisahar(760m)乘车7小时,150公里,海拔下降540m。 早晨630,15人的大部队乘坐由格桑情缘家庭旅馆老板Angel联系好的丰田海狮中巴离开“格桑情缘”,按照计划,今天要赶到大环徒步的起点Besisahar(比斯萨哈尔)。 一路上没什么风景可看,整个加都都没什么高楼,大多是低矮破旧的老房子,毫无统一规划可言。沿途那些大大小小的车辆倒成了一道风景,它们都被涂抹得花里胡哨的,还悬挂着五彩的吊坠和彩带,让我想起了印度电影《大篷车》,这也许是尼泊尔人彰显个性的一种表现方式吧。从昨天至今,我发现尼泊尔的汽车无论客车还是货车大多是印度产的“TATA”牌,而小车则基本上都是日韩小排量汽车,尤其是奥拓居多。很不明白既然中尼关系那么好,为啥不把咱国产汽车卖给这个穷邻居呢?像奇瑞、吉利、长安、比亚迪之类应该很有市场的。还有一点,我发现尼泊尔的车牌无论大小、材质、字体、颜色都不一样,原来他们根本就没有统一发放的车牌,估计也就是给你一个号码,然后自行写好挂上就行了,这种管理真是粗放。汽车一路上被警察拦住了好几次,司机下去出示手续然后交钱放行,估计相当于咱们当年要交的所谓养路费吧。 毫不例外,路上还碰到了几次堵车。没办法,尼泊尔公路状况实在太差了,不过尼泊尔的司机们都很淡定,悠哉游哉的一点都不急躁,看来他们对堵车早已司空见惯,话说回来,急也没用,“尼泊尔速度”可是体现在方方面面的,向日葵色板官方就当是提前适应一下吧。 沿途经过了一个景区,那里还建有一条登山缆车,后来才知道那是尼泊尔全国唯一的一条登山缆车,是通往廓尔喀王国遗址的。那里民风彪悍,当年的廓尔喀雇佣兵可是赫赫有名的哦。世界名刀——廓尔喀弯刀也出产自那里,不过据说目前掌握传统制刀绝技的只剩下四个老人和他们的徒弟了,要想拥有一把真正的廓尔喀弯刀,你必须亲自去找他们预订然后再等上3个月才有可能拿到,因此那些加都商店里售卖的所谓廓尔喀弯刀你就别去买了,清一色假货,好像还是咱义乌制造的。行李装车准备出发前往Besisahar清晨的加都,整个城市还没醒来。途径猴庙大门满街的猴子一点都不怕人。尼泊尔人与动物相处的都很好。中途司机吃饭的餐厅,向日葵色板官方都去考察了一番,价格很便宜。尼泊尔还都使用着这种古老的天平秤。 尼泊尔大篷车 大约经过7个小时的颠簸,终于抵达大环线的起点Besisahar。找客栈入住后,就点了午饭,由于提前做了功课,对等待就餐早有了心理准备。这尼泊尔速度果然够慢,一份简单的咖喱米饭足足等了一个半小时才上来。在等待期间,街道上陆续来了好几车老外,不用问都是来徒步大环的,小镇一下子热闹起来,让我开始领略到世界级徒步线路的非凡魅力。 按照计划,向日葵色板官方实际的徒步起点并非Besisahar而是Syange。队伍今天要住在这里,余下的时间队员们开始通过多种方式去联系寻找背夫以及第二天的包车事宜。 我的感冒状况依然不见缓解,头晕乎乎的,又做了大半天车感到特别疲惫,饭后我就独自去房间休息了。醒来后得知背夫和包车事宜都已联系妥当,真要谢谢那些热心的队友们。漫长的等待。后面一大桌老外也在等餐。等餐期间,陆续来了好几车老外。他们饭后就直接背包开始徒步了。先上来的是“汤”,尼泊尔的汤都是这种浓浓稠稠的。快吃完才想来拍下大环线上的第一顿尼泊尔主餐-咖喱鸡素菜米饭。小小的房间,小小的钥匙,却配了诺大一个钥匙牌。很多客栈都是如此。 晚饭点了炒面和啤酒,老刘想喝面汤,先是跟老板娘比划了半天要煮面条的汤,老板娘似乎明白了,可老刘却眼睁睁的看着老板娘把面条汤给煮没了,然后把面条篦出来后再放到锅里炒。原来尼泊尔人从来不吃汤面,也根本不理解中国人所谓的“原汤化原食”是怎么一回事,他们吃面条都是先用水煮个半熟然后再炒的,如果你点了菜谱里的Noodle Soup(面汤),那其实就是国内的所谓“汤面”,大多是用方便面煮的外加些青菜或番茄酱(非新鲜番茄),而且是浓浓稠稠的。好在这炒面是一份份现做的,难怪要等这么久,于是老刘全程监工老板娘的操作工序,终于抢救下半碗真正的“面汤”,弄得老板娘乐的合不拢口。在此之后的徒步中,关于老刘同志要喝“Noodle Soup面汤”的故事不断上演了好几回,也成了大家开心一笑的小插曲。 晚饭后,附近有几个尼泊尔小伙子弹吉他唱歌,一听就是初学者,老刘走上前去打个招呼,接过吉他大秀了一把,精湛的技艺把他们都震住了!直听得一个小伙子当场跳起舞来。后来他们非要老刘给演奏几首Chinese Songs,于是老刘趁着酒兴一连弹唱了好几首歌,并郑重其事的告诉他们,这是Chinese AnHui FuYang Songs!直到深夜大家才意犹未尽地相互道别,在大环的第一夜,向日葵色板官方已感受到了尼泊尔人的热情好客。晚餐的地方,老刘要面汤的故事就在这里发生。尼泊尔的厨房都像这样的整齐干净,赞!晚饭后老刘大秀吉他的场景,看,满头大汗,很卖力哦。★严格的说,大环线的起点和终点都是Pokhara(博卡拉),正好走了一个完整的环形,全程将近300公里,但Pokhara(博卡拉)和加都都有班车到Besisahar,那里设有大环上第一个TIMS检查站。而最后一个检查站Nayapul也有班车到Pokhara(博卡拉),所以一般都把Besisahar和Nayapul做为大环徒步的起点和终点,实际行程也缩短至将近220公里。考虑到现在从山下通往MANANG(马南)的公路正在施工,低海拔地区的风景相对来说也比较类似和寻常,因此向日葵色板官方才最终把徒步的起点定在了Syange,这样一来也至少节约了一天的时间。★15人从加德满都到Besisahar的丰田海狮中巴包车费用,向日葵色板官方自己商定的价格是15000Rs,格桑情缘老板Angel帮着还到了13000Rs。再次感谢Angel的热心帮助。D4:9月23日 Besisahar(760m)-Syange(1100m)-Jagat(1300m)乘车3小时,22.5公里,徒步1.5小时,3公里,海拔上升540m。 早晨起床后感觉一般,感冒症状持续中,可能是在昆明机场那晚拉肚子伤了元气,整个人还是不在状态,不免有些担心后面的徒步行程,在天台打了一会坐养养神,祈祷自己赶快好起来。青石看到向日葵色板官方仨都在打坐,调侃道:呵!你们仨虽然都信佛,但是各修一派啊。 早餐点了一份煎蛋加果酱面包套餐,果酱真材实料味道很不错,国内的果酱远不能比。尼泊尔的土豆、番茄、黄瓜等都长得小小的丑丑的,青菜看上去也都蔫蔫的还有虫子啃吃过的痕迹,远不如咱天朝的蔬菜那般肥硕鲜嫩,但人家至今都不打农药化肥,家庭里也极少有冰箱这类奢侈电器,因此尼泊尔的蔬菜绝对新鲜,都是纯天然绿色食品,能让你吃到咱们童年时的味道,哪像咱们现在到处都是反季蔬菜,弄得都不知道什么是应季蔬菜了。为了保证食物新鲜,他们都是在你点餐之后才去淘米蒸饭、去洗菜择菜甚至从地里现摘,然后再下厨加工,而且是一份份的现做,难怪一路上从点餐到上桌都要等待1-2个小时那么长时间。套餐里有一个小小的带着虫眼的苹果,要放在国内肯定没人买。当时食欲不佳就没吃,后来就带在身上一直走到Gyaru才吃掉它,毫不夸张的说,那甜美的味道至今让人回味。早餐量少却丰盛大环上第一个TIMS检查站留下自己的第一个名 饭后开始坐在客栈等待班车和背夫。客栈正对面就是大环线上的第一个TIMS检查站,向日葵色板官方闲来无事就先去登记注册。不曾想这第一次登记,队友空心的TIMS证就出了问,原来他为了赶时间,ACAP和TIMS两个证都是从网上托Pokhara(博卡拉)的燕巢旅舍老板娘给办的,因为燕巢旅舍的老板娘是杭州人,和空心是老乡,所以就信任了她,可偏偏就是这个异国老乡给办的证出了问。在登记时才发现空心的TIMS证是蓝色的团体证,而向日葵色板官方的TIMS证都是绿色的个人证,估计团体证必须要由有资质的向导背夫相伴才行,因此空心要么选择接受罚款,要么就在此以双倍价格重新办理一个。考虑到今后一路上都要接受检查,空心无奈地选择了后者,教训啊! 等到第一批9名背夫和包租的班车到齐,已经11点了,队伍拍照留影之后乘车出发。半途接上另一批5名背夫继续前往计划中的正式徒步起点Syange。队员空心办的两个证,上面那个蓝色的是团体证,个人背包客只能办绿色证才有效。切记!整装待发的老外徒步客向日葵色板官方在大环上住宿的第一个房间 向日葵色板官方去的时候还没到徒步大环的旺季,小镇上没什么人。不过很快这里就会车水马龙了。从左至右:空心、老朱、浮云、我、璀璨、小雨、青石、ACAP官员、樱花、小酒、镜子、天蓝、小璐、老刘、毛菇,拍照的是大个。这座吊桥是徒步线路。 尼泊尔山区的班车全部都是改装过的,车身被架的很高,而且都改成了四驱!呵呵,没见过四驱的30座中巴车吧,来尼泊尔你就能见到了,看上去这些改装车样子都怪怪的,可在尼泊尔的山区“公路”上,你还就得靠它们才行,四驱越野过不去的路他们照样能过。从Besisahar到Syange只有区区20多公里,然而这短短的路竟然整整开了3个小时,天呐!那叫什么“公路”啊!几乎没有一点平坦的路段,一路全是大大小小的石头和泥水坑,这还不算什么,不过就是车身颠簸摇晃的厉害点罢了,可怕的是很多路段汽车几乎就是贴着悬崖边在走,有些急转弯处,半个后轮估计都是悬空的!坐在右侧的队友们后来说,他们在途中根本不敢往窗外看,因为你看不到所谓的公路,看到的不是悬崖就是深深的河谷,早知如此还不如下车徒步呢!有些路段坡度很陡,司机改用四驱加大油门车轮还是打滑,你可以清楚的听到车轮与石头剧烈摩擦发出的刺耳声音,当时真担心会爆胎,因为尼泊尔不仅车子破旧,连轮胎也没见过几个新的,大多都是牙齿快要磨没的“光头胎”! 尼泊尔山区的车在行驶中车门都是不关的,驾驶座的门也开着,方便司机随时观察路况。而且每辆车都会有一两个小马仔,他们抓着扶手,身体吊在门口或者车尾的行李架梯子上,一路上也不说话,遇到危险路段时,他们就会用不同的强弱节奏“嘭嘭、嘭嘭”地拍打车厢,以此提醒和告知司机能否通行,只要听到马仔强烈拍打出“嘭”的一声,车子就会立马刹住。司机和马仔用这种约定的特殊信号配合得十分默契,每个危险地段都有惊无险的通过。在这种山路上开车,倒车镜的视野是非常受限制的,为了保证安全这也算是最好的办法了吧。如果前方路段有通不过的大坑时,两个马仔就会立马跳下去搬石头把它们填平。司机神情自若地在恐怖的公路上驾驶着,看吊坠摇晃的幅度就知道路况如何。路经大环上第一个ACAP检查站,箭头所指方向是徒步线路,通往MANANG(马南)认真的工作人员逐人检查登记,态度一丝不苟。 我一直坐在司机旁边,对司机的驾驶技能看得也最为真切,司机是个小伙子,驾驶中沉着冷静不慌不忙,好多危险地段我的心脏简直就要跳出来了,可最终都化险为夷,通过之后小伙子也会长出一口气,看来他也在担心啊!难怪都说尼泊尔盛产世界上最牛的司机,你只有走过之后才会明白原来最牛的司机就是这样炼成的!在这样的山路上驾驶,不牛能行吗?想想他们挣这点钱也真不容易,这是在玩命呢! 这果真是一段惊心动魄的行程,为了保持身体平衡,我双手紧紧抓住车顶的行李架一刻也不敢放松,到下车时双臂都快要麻木了!这种路算是好路了,恐怖的路段没法拍照,去实际体验一次吧。满眼的绿啊一段全是大坑的烂路,好在一辆推土机正在抢修挂在车后的马仔是最牛的!也不怕给颠下来。看看!路边就是深深的河谷这种烂泥路满载没法通过,全队下车步行在尼泊尔坐在班车顶行李架上是司空见惯的场景,真佩服他们的胆量。背夫们在吃饭,正宗尼泊尔餐是用手抓来吃的吃饭的客栈旁边就有一个美丽的瀑布([]
最近几天在预订下个月去日本的一系列事项,繁复的资料查找,比较机票、酒店性价比,锁定目以及安排预订等等,不由得想起来之前几次的“折腾”。从巴厘岛,到韩国,再到日本,但凡是自由行,必然要经过犹如“产前阵痛”一般的折磨。当一切尘埃落定终于可以松一口气的时候,才是旅途得以享受的开始。今天不说别的,就说说巴厘岛十日自由行的准备。去年11月中旬出发,Maple9月初就开始着手进行准备。本来想等10月份携程自由行价格出来,但考虑到自己预订自由性更大,且可以选择最优解决方案,因此Maple再一次秀逗,毅然决然担当起8人出行巴厘岛10日自由行的全部安排工作。第一步:确定出行时间,预订机票。机票无疑是自由行总预算中占比最大的,因此一定早下手抢特价票。9月初开始看机票价格,各大航空都是往返含税7000多。熬到9月中,新航突然出现了特价,这无疑是一个可以出手购票的信号。在这里还有一个小窍门。我们都知道ctrip或者去哪儿这样的机票查询平台,其实从平台查个大概后,国际航班还是建议直接去各航空公司的网站上查询价格,往往,官网上的价格会更加优惠,也更及时。枫叶邀请您泰国普吉岛自由行(风景&人妖&美食&买物大赏)独家攻略!更新结束!https//bbs.8264.com/forum-viewthread-tid-1285729-highlight.html巴厘岛位于南纬八度,想从北京过去,必定要中转一次。可以选择的方案有:新加坡航空,中转新加坡;马来西亚鹰航,中转吉隆坡;大韩航空,中转首尔;国泰航空,中转香港;泰国航空,中转曼谷;印尼航空,中转雅加达。综合考虑各航空后,发现新航的航班最多;提前2个多月预订往返含税机票价是5308元,很是优惠;并且新航中转新加坡,总计飞行时间也是偏短的。而且还考虑到在新加坡中转,可以顺便游览这个亚洲有名的花园城市,实在是一举夺得。经过一系列的抉择,所以将目锁定在了新航往返巴厘岛上。第二步,机票预订。决定了航空公司,这只是机票预订的第一步。新航的航班非常多,每天从北京巴厘岛中转的航班有不下10个时间可以选择。期间的差别就是有的停留时间短,有的停留时间长。中转时间短的,在新加坡只会停留1个半小时;中转时间长的,可以停留25个小时。因此决定具体飞行时间,满足新加坡一日游的安排,是第二步要考虑的。考虑到旅行前期精力充沛,旅行结束回家心切,因此Maple安排了11月11日下午出发,晚上抵达新加坡;11月12日下午1845航班到巴厘岛。促使Maple做了这样的决定,也是因为Maple在新航的网站上看到了这样一项向日葵视频色板APP官网:第三步,预定好往返机票,下一步就是预订在新加坡的酒店了。新航不愧是以向日葵视频色板APP官网著称的航空公司,果然想得相当周到。Maple和X君看到Singapore stopover holiday,当时就决定采用这个向日葵视频色板APP官网来完成向日葵色板官方的新加坡一日之旅。1. 新加坡过境随意行(酒店住宿+接送向日葵视频色板APP官网+景点游览)包括相应等级酒店一夜住宿 在您留宿的SSH酒店,享受餐饮店单点菜单50%的折扣 机场与酒店间往返巴士接送( seat-in-coach) 免费乘坐新航随意行巴士(SIA Hop-on Bus) 享用亚坤咖啡厅(Ya Kun)的咖啡/茶和吐司 免费参观圣淘沙度假屋、国家胡姬花园、新加坡游河观光、裕廊飞禽公园、新加坡动物园、牛车水原貌馆、位于福康宁的碉堡及滨海湾高尔夫球练习场。 2. 新加坡过境随意行(酒店住宿+接送服务)包括相应等级酒店一夜住宿 机场与酒店间往返巴士接送 这两个向日葵视频色板APP官网选择,每人仅仅差别6美金,但多了6美金,就可以多享受随意行巴士和免费早餐,因此Maple为整个Team选择了(酒店+接送+旅游景点)的SSH向日葵视频色板APP官网。第四步:预订SSH购买了新航或胜安航空的机票,才可以继续购买SSH。而且目前新加坡过境随意行无法通过泰国、中国、日本和阿拉伯联合大公国的网站购买。这的确难坏了Maple。Maple尝试了从新航的新加坡网址购买,不行;试图查找新航网站上负责SSH的得运旅行社(Tradewinds Tours & Travel) 的联络方式,不行;给新航北京办事处打电话,不行。最后逼得没办法只能给新航新加坡办事处打电话,然后得到了得运旅社的电话,然后电话+邮件预订,才搞定了一切。预订SSH时候,需要提供机票的预订编号(booking reference),而非其他“number”。还记得当时打电话到新加坡,一切都是英文回复,当对方要我的booking reference时候,Maple实在没有反应过来,搞得对方大姐很是郁闷,几次都要挂断电话。当时Maple真是Hold住场面要对方耐心等我一遍遍check。最后的预订成功,绝对是付出了很大的努力的说。尤其当时还在预订12月3人首尔自由行的客栈,一切麻烦事如同毛线球一样择不开,还好结果是好的。现在想起来那是后还真是悲催。不过,没有事前的努力,怎可能获得后期的完美旅行呢。大家要注意了,这个是预订SSH的邮件地址:tradewinds_ssh@singaporeair.com.sg电话是+65 6506 7797(新加坡的电话号码)预订邮件参考写法:Hello i want to book SSH Mybooking referenceJNWSCD i want to book the hotelHotel Royal for 7 people. i need 4 rooms i stay in singapore on Fri, 11 NOV 2011 thank u very much预订后,会很快收到对方回复,按照要求一步步署信用卡授权书,用国际信用卡付款,最后大功告成。抵达新加坡樟宜机场时,无论T2还是T3,出关后在麦当劳旁边都可以找到新加坡过境随意行柜台。拿着最后邮件过来的收据,就可以享受一系列预定好的向日葵视频色板APP官网啦。辛苦辛苦~~不辛苦不辛苦~~一大叠门票、早餐券、接送机的车票券,用的时候撕下来就好。每人发一个徽章,这个徽章会在全程乘坐随意行巴士时候当做车票使用。狮城新加坡-亚坤咖椰烤面包从寒冷的北京出发,深夜抵达美丽的花园城市。一接触到雨后泥土的芳香,因为夜色无法看清的街景却可以完整的浮现于脑海。想象着第二天美丽的热带风情和繁华的国际化都市,一夜好眠。在新加坡的第一餐,是SSH安排的亚坤。之前没有了解,事后才发现,原来亚坤在新加坡是如此深入人心。一早在酒店问好地址,从下榻的Hotel Royal门口乘坐公车4站,到Far East Plaza站,每人票价1.8新币。下车后回走5分钟,在Far East Plaza的地下一层,就是Ya Kun Kaya Toast。新加坡人英语很好,问路一点都不成问,而且问的人都知道亚坤的位置,Maple那时候心里就觉得,这地儿挺神!话说这烤土司,外层香脆,里面夹了咖椰酱和牛油,很是香甜。当地食客还会点一碟洒上黑酱油及胡椒粉的半生熟蛋,配着咖椰烤面包一起儿吃。据说专属的Kaya秘方,制作方式自其1944年创始以来就不曾改变。Kaya Toast with Butter 2新币,2片Kaya Peanut Toast 2新币,2片Crackers with Kaya 1.6新币,2套咖啡/茶 1.5新币咖椰(Kaya)酱小资料:咖椰酱是由鸡蛋,糖,椰浆,香兰叶调配而已,是完全的本地风味。咖椰酱分别有绿色和蛋黄色。亚坤店铺里有卖瓶装的Kaya酱,小后悔没有带点回来。除了乌节路这家亚坤,在后面去的摩天轮下面也有一家。个人认为,无论新加坡还是马来餐,口味偏甜,这可以体现在他们的咖啡、奶茶以及面食各个方面。同团的boss吃不惯甜味的早餐,因此自己到隔壁买了一份更加传统的面食。都知道新加坡物价贵,超市里一罐可乐就要3新币左右,但是还别说,这样一套面食+一罐可乐只要3马币,可谓便宜哉。 Far East Plaza下面的小食店,早晨10点不到,路面还没有很多人,但这里人气很兴旺。([]

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([]
