意外看见这张图,也意外收藏这张图,最后意外的走在这张图的路上。(此图片来自网络墨汁的经典大作。)来自iphoness客户端朝拜中心的那座山—贡嘎转山(更新中。。。。)!https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1891685-1-1.html贡嘎山(Minya Konka)位于四川省康定以南,是大雪山的主峰。周围有海拔6,000公尺以上的山峰45座,主峰更耸立于群峰之巅,海拔7,556公尺。高出其东侧大渡河6,000公尺,被喻为「蜀山之王」。主峰由花岗闪长岩组成,受海洋季风影响,雪线海拔4,600~4,700公尺,冰川发育规模较大。东坡最大的海螺沟冰川长14.2公里,末端下达2,850公尺,已落入森林带内,在长期冰川作用下,山峰发育为锥状大角峰,周围绕以60°~70°的峭壁,攀登困难。1932年,美国探险队攀登成功。中国大陆登山队于1957年6月到达峰顶。目前共24人登顶,此信息来自网络。来自iphones客户端此行共8人:存在(领队),三叔(收队),本本(财务),老岑(队员),火湖(队员),少少(队员)燕子(队员),和本人柠檬(队员)组成,附老榆林大家出发前合照来自iPhone客户端领队存在,取一张我认为他最帅的照片放上来,当然还是没有他儿子帅,所以证明他已婚,大家对他别有太多瞎想,也是忽悠我去贡噶的人(此处开玩笑)。来自iphoness客户端收队三叔,虽然嘴巴时时透露着不靠谱的信息,但在我心中是一个非常负责的人,一路走在最后(要不就是等最后的那位队员)广西少少队员最感激的人了(此处暂时省略),新都桥塞车12小时,徒步10+公里买了2盒泡面回来吃,当然向日葵色板官方只有看着吃,当时非常之鄙视吖 来自iPhone客户端财务本本,此行女驴中的强驴(可能因为向日葵色板官方第一次出驴吧,自我安慰一下,嘻嘻)一直跟着前队走到前面,我眼中喜欢拍背影的女孩,大学毕业驴到现在,羡慕妈妈非常支持她驴,当然每次都会叮嘱她买好保险,幸福的孩子吖…来自iPhone客户端队员老岑(被广西少少听成懒虫,从此一路上索性叫懒虫了)。说是看了北京青年后被触动了,决定重走一次青春,所以就跟着向日葵色板官方上路了。说实话是此行最佩服的人,因为他早就过了青春的人,当然不管年龄多少,最主要是要拥有一颗青春炙热的心。来自iphoness客户端队员火湖,一个做什么事都会把细节后果想得非常到位的人,当然我觉得很少男人有这么细心,可能跟是医生有关系吧,容不得一点错误发生。(注:此行4男都是已婚,让向日葵色板官方情何以堪吖)来自iPhone客户端队员少少,一路上走到最后还是不忘边走边马叉,我想说在这样的天气中她心态确实很好,我心想三叔收队肯定对她直接无语,估计吃了她的心都有了(纯属个人猜测),因为马叉还需要人帮忙,看看她笑得多开心。来自iPhone客户端队员燕子,同我一样初次伪驴。唯一的经验就是跟着驴友群的驴友走了一次广州的火龙线(应该是广州驴友才懂的),一天就可以完成路线。去贡噶我心想跟我一样是向往的冲动。毕竟向日葵色板官方不是驴,只是初次成为伪驴。来自iphones客户端最后,就是我了(柠檬)今年五月底才意外知道世界上有一种人叫驴友(不得不说我out)。才知道世界上有很多美丽的地方,也是意外看到贡噶的两张经典图片就被我保存到手机上了,保存的时候还不知道那里是贡噶,就觉得照片好唯美就存了,差不多准备要去贡噶也不知道自己存的贡噶经典图片,后面出行临近无奈看人家游记才知道原来那里就是贡噶。此行我也不知道自己能走多远,但是我知道我不会轻言放弃。我也相信是贡噶让我一直在路上………来自iphoness客户端 回忆出发前半个月,八月初阳江之行回来后,广州在路上群里的驴友存在给了我一条信息,问我有没有兴趣九月初去我的家乡四川贡噶徒步,那时有点吃惊。心想我这个连伪驴都算不上的,居然有人敢叫我走贡噶(不过那时我只知道贡噶是走雪山,也没有太大的概念)想当初7月轻装走个火龙都残了好一段时间。还以为他一时冲动,不过当他说只要有心就一定能走下来,这一刻心底被触动了,结果既兴奋又有一点恐惧想了好大一夜,可却没有按耐住内心的激动,冲动的向跟经理请假了,这一冲动也应了那句:每个人都需要一次说走就走的旅游。 中间发生了很多事情,几经周折最后决定一定要在路上。(初次发帖很多经验不足,只是记录一下自己出行,所以无太多攻略记载,希望大家谅解。)来自iphoness客户端Day1(9月1号)早上5点过就醒了,起床收东西,因为跟此行不约而同买到的同班飞机的驴友火湖约好在广州火车站搭地铁去机场南。一如既往的自拍附图:来自iphoness客户端早上8点钟托运。登机。八点四十分飞机起飞了,不知是人品问还是怎么样居然跟一个喝了酒的人坐,酒味难闻。不过还好两小时就解放了。10.55分飞机安全降落成都双流机场。来自iPhone客户端打的到网上订好的青旅,优惠实在。放下行李,由于其他队员还没到,我们就去了锦里,穿梭在大街小巷中。边走。边吃。边拍。唯一遗憾一直下雨,表示广州过来觉得有点冷。附青旅图。来自iPhone客户端偷拍青旅美女吃美食来自iPhone客户端手机拍锦里,原谅像素不好。来自iphoness客户端附锦里美食图。手机拍摄。来自iPhone客户端下午五点后回到青旅整理东西,六点燕子赶到青旅与向日葵色板官方会合。晚上三人火锅腐败晚餐。(下了一天雨)来自iphoness客户端晚上九点过接到存在的电话,以为他们到了,结果听说广州暴雨,所以航班都延迟,还好不是停了。凌晨00.30广西少少赶到青旅,存在他们电话不通。不知什么情况,向日葵色板官方都睡下了,终于凌晨两点多他们4个队员一起到达青旅,心想这一路多么不容易吖…他们整理好睡下了,我却丝毫没有睡意了。一夜未眠……来自iPhone客户端Day2(9月2号)成都—康定—老榆林。 一大早大家就起来整理装备,准备去南门车站坐车,昨天已经买了最早班车。出到门口大家急冲冲在青旅门口来了一张合照(注:天色微亮,加上小雨,所以看不见脸)来自iPhone客户端到了车站,才发现去康定的早班车是以前10多座的小客车,司机一看见向日葵色板官方眉头都皱到一起了(原因是因为车太小,根本放不了背包族的行李。)心想着放一部分到后车厢,放不下的放车上的过道,看到后车厢的时候才知道我的想法是多么的可笑,因为已经放满其他乘客的行李。所以无奈全部搬上车的过道,小包自己放身上,也注定今天的车程是煎熬…附手机拍摄行李来自iphoness客户端存在车上透过玻璃窗一路的风景照,风景确实很美。但由于一夜未眠所以大部分时间花在睡觉上。现在只能悔吖…来自iPhone客户端看到这绿山绿水。心里是如此平静…来自iphones客户端一路上都小雨都忽停忽下的。看着云雾缠绕这大山。来自iphoness客户端司机在途中洗车,难道要洗干净才能进城?来自iPhone客户端墙边快要凋谢的花,就像人生很多东西都不是永恒的…来自iphoness客户端下午四点多终于到了康定,早就通知向导,大家都在车站等待向导。来自iphoness客户端结果向导没有来,是向导的朋友过来接向日葵色板官方,然后载向日葵色板官方去市场那边买一些这几天路上的物资,分了两对,一队跟向导朋友去购物资,另一队闲逛。当然不解释我是闲逛,然后就去到处看看,周围都有大山围绕,所以空气很好。然后逛了超市,买了一些路餐。还去户外店补了一些东西(不知道这里是不是康定唯一一家户外店)来自iphoness客户端然后回到分开的地方集合,然后去向导家腐败,买了4斤牦牛肉做晚餐。(如果下雨建议一定要去向导家)这也是广州出发到回到广州中睡得最好的一晚上…去向导家这一路大家都非常兴奋,并没被天气不好所影响。而且一路的建筑都非常特色,风景非常漂亮…来自iPhone客户端([

童话的世界:魁北克城Quebec City是魁北克省的省府,魁北克省官方语言为法语,省内大多数居民是法国人的后裔,日常语言是法语。因历史原因,魁北克省和加拿大其他地方在语言、风俗等方面差别比较大,省内有些居民希望该省脱离加拿大的管治。1980年和1995年,魁北克省分别举行过一次全民公决,决定是否脱离加拿大自己独立,但都没有得到过半数选民的同意。 加拿大班芙Banff国家公园内弓湖Bow Lake加拿大班芙与美国黄石和澳洲爱象,并列世界三大国家公园。纵贯北美西岸的落矶山脉绵延万里,在美国构成了鬼斧神工的黄石景区,而在加拿大这一段则形成了以班芙为中心的一串宝石般壮丽的景点集群。 加拿大Jasper和Banff国家公园交接处的哥伦比亚冰川Columbia Icefield,面积大约为325平方公里,厚度为100到365米,每年降雪量约为7米。 Banff国家公园内的梦莲湖Moraine Lake,它位于十峰山下,海拔高度为1884米,湖泊面积为0.5平方公里。由于梦莲湖是一个冰川湖,因此只有到每年六月底,湖水才到达最高线,折射沉积的岩粉,呈现出美丽的蓝绿色。 温哥华内斯坦利公园Stanley park,就在温哥华的市中心,也是我去的最多的一个地方了)这个市内公园总面积为6070亩,几乎占据了整个温哥华市北端。斯坦利公园北临巴拉德湾Burrard Inlet,西临英国湾English Bay,是北美地区最大的市内公园。斯坦利公园人工景物极少,以红杉等针叶树木为主的原始森林是公园最知名的美景。 从温哥华到多芬诺Tofino大约需时半天,开车从海天高速公路Sea to Sky Highway前往搭乘渡轮BC ferry,沿途是海天一色,尤其夏季里晴空万里、天色湛蓝,美不胜收。然后还要再开车几小时方可到达。Tofino是著名的观鲸胜地,同时也拥有着壮阔的海岸线。 西雅图里的华盛顿大学University of Washington是一所世界顶尖的著名大学,世界大学排名第9位。华大中的建筑歌德式风格为主,中央广场为红砖铺,又叫Red Square。每到4月左右,樱花盛开,景色更是绝美。正对广场的苏赛罗Suzzallo图书馆是典型的歌德式建筑:众多拱门镶嵌人物雕塑,门柱与窗框上都雕有复杂精致的花纹。这个图书馆是华大里我最喜欢的地方。二楼阅览室的彩绘玻璃窗,在夕阳余辉的映照下会发出淡蓝色的光芒,更为这栋庄严而肃穆的建筑增添不少璀璨的色彩。 薰衣草盛开的时节,这一年,我刚刚到北美。 照这张照片的时候,已经是快要离开了,那一次的郁金香节,真应了“乱花渐欲迷人眼” 初春在温哥华的Garibaldi Provincial Park snowshoe,我爱这种非高海拔雪山,哈哈 纽约,纽约,复杂的城市 旧金山的金门大桥,是世界著名的桥梁之一,是近代桥梁工程的一项奇迹。大桥雄峙于美国加利福尼亚州宽1900多米的金门海峡之上,历时4年和10万多吨钢材,耗资达3550万美元建成,由史特劳斯设计。因其历史价值,于2007年由英、美两国合拍成同名纪录片。上面拍的著名其他电影相当不少,从电影“毕业生”、“X战警3”到“007系列”都在这里开拍。顺便插一句:我很喜欢旧金山这个城市,充满了艺术气息。 美国非著名国家公园之Bruce Canyon National Park 美国Mt Rainier National Park中的Reflection Lake,这个湖名字就是反射的意思,我去的时候还不是最好 加州圣地亚哥San Diego的一个海滩 给我亲爱的虎鲸也放一张,这是在圣地亚哥的Sea World。接下来按顺序给大家慢慢道来,后面还有很多很好看的照片)这次20天横扫加拿大的旅程是在2012年8月完成的,当时决定回国,走之前想带着爸爸妈妈玩一次加拿大。不晓得大家觉得带爸妈出游会是一种什么感觉,那次阿林的经历是很累相当累但是又很有成就感。爸爸妈妈不会讲英文,我设计的行程中那些地方自己之前也一次未去过,需要安排相当详细,从各种交通工具到各种酒店。我爸又忘记带驾照。。。所以自驾都是由阿林一个人完成,最长的时候一天开了快10个小时的车。加上觉得那些代理证的其实都有点黑钱的嫌疑,连爸妈的证都是我自己搞的,所以是真的很累。但是要看着爸爸妈妈玩得那么开心,回去之后还一直回味,却也觉得真的很幸福很值得。作为子女,上学之后一直离家在外,玩的时候也多半顾着自己,户外那种爸妈更加无法参加,却忘记了其实他们也希望去看看这大千世界,更加希望享合家团聚的快乐。这次旅程,涉及到加拿大东部四个城市,落基山脚下三个国家公园以及温哥华周边,为了充分体验加拿大,阿林设计的行程使用的交通工具有飞机、火车、轮渡、租的车和自己的车。再贴一下行程计划:D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)加东7日:D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D3 租车前往尼亚加拉大瀑布(Niagara Falls),当日返回多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D4 白天游多伦多城市,傍晚坐火车前往蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D5 上午游蒙特利尔老城区,下午租车前往渥太华,游国会山,住渥太华(Ottawa)D6 开车前往魁北克城,游魁北克老城区,住魁北克(Quebec city)D7 游魁北克城周的脉脉含情瀑布(Montmorency Falls)和圣安妮大峡谷(Canyon Saint-Anne),之后开车回蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D8 游蒙特利尔城区,坐飞机返回温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)落基山4日:D9 从温哥华开往Valemount镇,住ValemountD10 游Jasper国家公园,开冰原大道(Icefield Pkway),晚上到Banff国家公园,住BanffD11 游Banff国家公园,开弓湖河谷公路(Bow Valley Pkwy),游Yoho国家公园,住灰熊镇(Revelstoke)D12 从灰熊镇开回温哥华,途径鲑鱼湾(Salmon Arm),住温哥华(Vancouver)温哥华周边(都住在温哥华):D13 卡皮兰诺吊桥(Capilano),UBC(英属哥伦比亚大学)D14 温哥华城区,格兰维尔岛(Granville island),史坦利公园(Stanley park)D15 爬松鸡山(Gross mountain)D16 游白石镇(White rock)D17 游马蹄湾(Horseshoe),走West dyke trail,游渔港小镇StevestonD18 经海天公路(Sea to sky hwy)到德国小镇惠斯勒(Whistler)D19 坐轮渡去维多利亚(Victoria),游维多利亚D20 打包行李,晚上去Spanish Banks Beach海滩看晚霞因为温哥华周边有些地方我去过多次,比如史坦利公园、白石镇、惠斯勒、维多利亚等,所以在讲述这些地方的时候,我会把之前自己去过时候拍的照片也插一些进来。在这20天旅程写完之后阿林会把大温地区其他到过的地方也介绍一下,说句真心话,温哥华的确是个宜居的地方,而且非常美丽。先放两张爸爸妈妈的照片,看他们笑得好开心! 提前两个月开始弄爸妈证,买机票的事情,列了一个详细的清单出来,大家如果需要也可以按照这个来整理哈,材料齐全应该都没有问。然后从打包行李到如何安检,飞机上注意事项还有下飞机怎么走,足足写了7页纸。还下载了海关入关表填好让他们带着,给他们打印一张纸写着不会讲英文以备不时之需。 D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)坐的是国航CA991,北京时间1550上飞机,温哥华时间1150到,北京和温哥华在夏天的时候是16个小时时差(冬天15个,因为夏天有summer saving time,就是国内说的夏令时)。他们好久都没有出来。。。让我担心了个够呛,而且机场停车费也很贵哦。后来晓得还是语言的问,排队排到那里因为语言问又重新排了个队。其实过关的问很简单,无非是:你从哪里来,你都哪里去,你要去干嘛。入境检查官都是哲学家。开始放两张阿林爸妈的,因为温哥华我实在太熟。。。自己懒得照相,后面的会主要放自己的照片哈)温哥华机场 YVR International Airport,也是人流量很大的。最大优点,离城区近,从我住的地方开车10分钟可达。 后来还看到参加伦敦奥运的加拿大运动员回国,真心很热闹有没有? 加国萌妹子两只,横幅上书:“欢迎回家,向日葵色板官方为你们骄傲”,很有爱。 这是阿林给爸妈找的住的地方,温哥华的家庭旅馆,住得还是很舒服的。我没照那么多照片,就直接拿人家网站上的来用了。这家家庭旅馆名字很汗,叫做“温佳堡”。。。为方便后来人,写地址:7751 Mccallan Rd V7C 2H6, Vancouver, 电话:778-968-2326. 为了证明他们的照片基本属实,放两张自己照的,当时木有点灯,所以比较暗。 D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)当天爸妈都很累,还有时差,就没做太多事情,第二天早上飞机前往多伦多,这是从温哥华机场出发前。航班:Air Canada, Flight 142, 800-1524Air Canada值得一说,和美国的航空公司百花齐放,于是份外便宜不同,加拿大的航空几乎被Air Canada垄断,导致加拿大的机票真心超级贵!看到这些印第安图腾没?这些就是加拿大的历史文化。。。就是收缴了当地印第安人,再拿这个当历史,说实话,阿林一直觉得很扯淡。再放一张爸妈的,从加东开始放我自个的)([]
斯里兰卡是印度半岛南端印度洋中的一个岛国,北临孟加拉湾,西濒阿拉伯海,为印度洋东西方海上交通必经之地面积65610平方公里。人口1580万(1985)。僧伽罗人占72%,泰米尔人占20.5%,摩尔人占 6.7%,柏格人和马来人占 0.8%。僧伽罗语为官方语言,泰米尔语为民族语言,社会上层通用英语。居民67.3%信奉佛教,17.6%信奉印度教,7.9%信奉基督教,7.1%信奉伊斯兰教。首都科伦坡。中国古书称之为师子国僧伽罗国、僧诃罗国等。僧伽罗系梵语 Simhala一词的音译,意为狮子。古代阿拉伯航海家称其为“宝岛.锡兰”目前“锡兰”一称仍通用。如对斯里兰卡有兴趣的朋友,有想到斯里兰卡自助游的兴趣(附带说一句,斯里兰卡和中国一向友好,是最适合中国人去自助游的国家之一);可跟贴就你所想详细了解和有疑问的地方提出,我会尽量详细就我所知解答。下文预告;本人独自在印度自助流浪历时23天,从印度最东面的加尔各答横穿到印度最西面的阿姆利则,沿途所见所闻精彩粉呈。近期将整理出来以飨各位朋友。斯里兰卡有两千多年文字记载的历史。来自南亚次大陆北部的雅利安移民约在公元前 6世纪来到兰卡岛,先在沿海地区落脚,然后沿河流向内地迁移,建立若干沿河村落并种植水稻。移民中最强大的是僧伽罗人。这一名称后来成了所有移民的共同名称。雅利安移民的政治制度是婆罗门式的。在南印度种姓制度影响下,逐渐形成斯里兰卡独特的种姓制度,构成了僧伽罗村社制度的基础。 2500年前,来自北印度的雅利安人移民至锡兰岛建立了僧伽罗王朝。前247年,印度孔雀王朝的阿育王派其子来岛弘扬佛教,受到当地国王的欢迎,从此僧伽罗人摈弃婆罗门教而改信佛教。公元前2世纪前后,南印度的泰米尔人也开始迁徙并定居锡兰岛。从公元5世纪至16世纪,岛内僧伽罗王国和泰米尔王国之间征战不断。16世纪初先后被葡萄牙(1505—1658)和荷兰(1658—1796)统治。 18世纪末,斯里兰卡成为英国殖民地,并在二战中成为盟军在南亚对抗日军入侵的海军基地。当时的锡兰总督兼三军总司令是以善于调和种族关系而著称的郝德杰(任锡兰总督时间为1937.10.16—1944.9.19)。1948年2月4日获得独立,定国名锡兰。1972年5月22日改称斯里兰卡共和国。1978年8月16日改国名为斯里兰卡民主社会主义共和国。斯里兰卡自助游,分别为:文化之旅、海滨之旅、高山之旅和生态之旅。一、文化之旅。在斯里兰卡这个小小岛屿国家中,分布着与埃及一样多的,共6处世界遗产,可谓是个奇迹。充分展示了斯里兰卡有文字记载的2000多年的文明史。由皇城康提、圣城阿努拉德普勒、古城波隆纳鲁沃这3个城市构成的三角区,被称为“文化金三角”。在这个三角区内,汇聚了多达5处该国的世界文化遗产。这里有巨大的古建筑群;有2500多年前的宫殿和石刻;有古都的遗址、花岗岩的雕像、高耸入云的巨型舍利塔。参观、体验这些文化遗产,可令人充满惊奇和振奋,焕发人的灵感,让人感受到这是一次文化之旅、精神之旅。1、“文化金三角”世界遗产分布情况。(1)康提(Kandy)一处:佛牙寺(Temple of Tooth Relics)。(2)丹布勒(Dumbulla)二处:丹布勒金庙石窟(The Golden Temple and Rock Temple of Dambulla)、锡吉里耶狮子岩(Sigiriya the Lion Rock)。(3)阿努拉德普勒(Anuradhapura)一处:由菩提树、千柱寺,及数个超巨型舍利塔组成。(4)波隆纳鲁沃(Polonnaruwa)一处:嘎里亚那(Galvihara)古城遗址。(5)南海之滨的世界文化遗产。斯里兰卡全国共6处世界文化遗产中,有5处在“文化金三角”,另一处在南海之滨的加勒(Galle)。是17世纪建造的,位于一座岛礁上的荷兰城堡。 二、海滨之旅。斯里兰卡这个海岛拥有1340公里长的海岸线,以及数百个沙滩。这些沙滩中,已经开发出来,供游人休闲的多达几十个。其数量之多,质量之好,环境之美,都是绝无仅有的。这是大自然对斯里兰卡人民的慷慨赐予。斯里兰卡的海滨度假胜地,集中在这个海岛的西南部海岸。在不到200公里长的距离中,大大小小已经开发出的海滩就有几十个。其中几个较大的海滩各具特色、名声在外。 1、几个值得一去的主要海滩。(1)尼甘布(Negombo)距科伦坡37公里,距国际机场仅有6公里。因其位置优势,这里常年吸引了大量刚刚到达,或者准备离开斯里兰卡的各国游客。这里也是首都科伦坡民众节假日最好的休闲之地。(2)卡卢特勒(Kalutara)距科伦坡42公里。这里除了拥有迷人的海滩和众多的五星级酒店外,还有一座庄严的3层佛教寺庙,以及里面的那座世界独一无二的空心佛塔。(3)本托塔(Bentota)距科伦坡62公里。这里有宽广如画的海滩;有大型海滨度假村和星级饭店;有独特的古董店;有斯里兰卡驰名建筑师巴瓦兄弟花园。在本托塔河上,游人还可乘船在内河游览和进行各种水上运动。(4)希克杜沃(Hikkaduwa)距科伦坡98公里。这里是全岛最有名的海滩之一。希克杜沃以潜水运动和珊瑚礁闻名。同样出名的还有冲浪和丰富多彩的夜生活。海边既有很多顶级海景酒店,附近也有背包客能接受的舒适客栈。(5)乌纳瓦吐纳(Unawatuna)距科伦坡116公里;距世界文化遗产,加勒的荷兰古城堡仅4公里。乌纳瓦吐纳号称世界12大顶级海滩之一。这里有奇妙的潜水区域;有像沙丁鱼罐头一样挤在一起的,让游人放松的沙滩;有丰富的夜生活;有许多性价比不高,但却符合市场经济规律,比三亚划算得多的酒店和度假村。(6)韦利格默(Weligama)距科伦坡143公里。这里风景迷人,绵延10多公里的海岸线上,全是大大小小的沙滩。海面上有端坐在木杆上垂钓的渔民和游弋的双体船;海岸边有名气很大,但规模很小的金枪鱼市场。(7)美蕊沙(Mirissa)距科伦坡155公里。这里的漂亮海湾,散发着原始、迷人的气息。游人们评价说:这里是斯里兰卡南部最美的海滩。在美蕊沙,除了冲浪、潜水、休闲外,最富特色,最吸引人的就是,在当年的11月至次年的5月,乘船出海看鲸鱼、海豚和飞鱼。(8)马特勒(Matara)距科伦坡163公里,公交大巴车程约5小时。这里是海岛南部顶端的一座大型海滨城市。在城边海岸的突出沙滩上,可以看到清晨太阳从海中冉冉升起,傍晚又从海中缓缓落下的罕见自然景观。这里还是游人去附近几个著名海滩远足的,最佳的中转站和大本营。(9)坦加勒(Tangalle)距科伦坡195公里。这里有世所罕见,几乎渺无人烟,拥有宽阔漂亮沙滩,长达10多公里,能够一览无遗的巨型、正圆形弧形海岸线。眼前不时跃出水面的银鱼,和那不断掠过水面的上百只海鸥,伴随着生生不息的海浪,引人遐想,令人忘我。(10)瑞卡瓦(Rekawa)距科伦坡205公里。在这里,在相应季节的夜晚满月时,可以看到从水下爬到沙滩上,自然繁殖的海龟,还可以与它们亲密接触。这就是高勒到科伦坡的海边火车。在就是传说的海边渔夫三、高山之旅。斯里兰卡有多样的地形地貌,以及由此带来多样化的气候和丰富多彩的自然景观。斯里兰卡南部山区有30多座上千米高的山峰。有这个海岛最高的,海拔2555米的皮杜鲁塔拉格勒山(Mount Pidurutalagala)。在山区的腹心地带,最有名,最受游客青睐的地方是努瓦勒埃利耶(Nuwara Eliya)。这里是斯里兰卡海拔最高的村镇,是美誉度最高的山区旅游胜地,有“小英格兰”之称。村镇周围有高尔夫球场和赛马场,附近有可供垂钓鳟鱼的湖泊、河流。夜晚在零度的气温下,人们穿冬衣戴皮帽,依偎在壁炉边烤火的情景,在这个只有夏天,没有春天、秋天,更没有冬天的热带岛屿上,构成一幅奇特的,引人入胜的自然、人文景观。距努瓦勒埃利耶不太远的南部地区,有景色优美,海拔超过2000米的山区高原霍顿平原(Horton Plains)。霍顿平原上最吸引人的景点是悬崖落差达1000多米,被人们描述得具有极大想象空间的:“世界的尽头(World’s End)”。科伦坡和康提都有公交车驶往努瓦勒埃利耶。行驶时间分别为3.5小时和2小时。距努瓦勒埃利耶同样不太远的东南部地区,有山区的另一个著名景点埃拉(Ella)。乘火车从努瓦勒埃利耶到埃拉,这条线路是世界上最美的火车线路之一。火车在海拔2000多米高的大片原始森林间,迎着茶园,穿过松涛,沿着陡峭的峡谷蜿蜒而行。真个是景在心中,人在画中。四、生态之旅。斯里兰卡除了无所不在,令人神往的海洋景观外,岛上森林密布、河流纵横,无数湖泊镶嵌其间。全岛有12个国家公园,52个自然保护区,占国土面积的12%。其中最著名的是位于海岛南部,被评为世界自然遗产的辛哈拉加森林保护区(Sinharaja Forest Reserve)。最吸引游人的是位于东南沿海的,巨型的自然保护区 —— 雅拉国家公园(Kumana National Park)。在康提附近,有几十头大象的人工保护区品纳维勒大象孤儿院;在狮子岩附近的米内日亚国家公园湖边,最多时可一次出现几十头野生大象;在波隆纳鲁沃的湖边,夕阳西下时,可一次见到数百只鸽子那么大的巨型蝙蝠;湖面上整天都能见到时而浮在水面,时而排队飞行的成千上万只水鸟;在南部海边瑞卡瓦的沙滩上,能在明月下见到上岸繁殖的海龟;在美蕊沙近海,可看到鲸鱼、海豚和飞鱼;...

引子:穿越狼塔线的最佳季节又到了,狼塔线(新疆户外更喜欢称其为“狼C线",主要是为了区别于狼塔a线、狼塔b线两条相对较简单的线路的缘故吧)以其神秘的传说、绝美的风光和三高(高危险、高强度、高海拔)而蜚声全国户外界,被越来越多的驴友所追捧。由于穿越狼塔的难度已经远远超过著名的夏特古道,所以每年能有机会走狼塔线的驴友也是少之又少。 这篇穿越狼c的日志,是2009年国庆节长假穿越狼c回来所作。由于新疆断网近一年,故还没有机会公开发表。我们这次穿越后,至今并没有其他的队伍再走狼c。文中所称的狼c既是狼塔线。希望这篇日志对你了解狼塔,穿越狼塔有所帮助。 先上一张穿越狼塔的照片,这是在翻越3960米的蒙特开增大阪途中狼塔三险之一----空中栈道美 女 与 狼 c2009版狼塔c线穿越攻略简介--- D3日:10月2日,晴天 早9:00拔营。从马鞍山营地下降200米,来到一不知名的小河沟。 这时,走在前面的“石头”和“飞翔”高兴地大呼小叫! 原来,他们在沟底下,捡到了昨天被大风吹走遮阳帽和背包罩 再往前走,经过一段约30米高,坡度达50度小陡坡,就来到一条较大的小河边。 河水很清,沿河谷顺流向前走几十米,跨过一座简易木桥,再爬过一块档在前面的大石头,传说中的狼塔C线空中栈道就已经开始了。 今天的大部分路段,将不停地在木桥—河道—空中栈道—马道之间来回穿梭切换。在狼c,这样的简易木桥对向日葵色板官方来说简直就是南京长江大桥呀在五、六十米高的断崖上开凿出来空中栈道,即让人兴奋刺激,更让人紧张害怕! 换个角度,再来看看这段栈道 栈道之间是马道连接。 可是,近三分一的马道都是四十五度以上的陡坡,需要手脚并用攀爬。爬得那个累呀! 更别说部分让人心惊肉跳的斜切路段了! 稍有不慎,就会“驴”失前蹄,抱憾终身的。(向日葵色板官方就是沿右手方向横切到下面的台普西克玛河谷,这段横切坡度在45度以上,局部达到50度以上,需要格外小心) 大家格外小心地穿过三段不太长的空中栈道,再爬上一个近百米的四十五度陡坡,然后斜切一个坡度四十五度长约四、五百米的碎石坡,就来到狼C路上著名的台普希克玛河谷。 中午12:30到达台普希克玛河谷。 简单午餐后,于1:30分出发,沿河谷一路上行。 反复在简易木桥间跳跃,有几处干脆就是独木一根。 队员们行走在独木桥上,练就着平衡木的功夫!到最后,连独木桥也没有了,还是换鞋淌水过河吧 在这段路上,向日葵色板官方还捡到了2008年狼c队伍里一位队员被河水冲走的包。 事故地点在老虎口,后文中还将提到。 相机、头灯等还在,只是已经无法使用。 台普希克玛河,是发源于狼塔的呼图壁河一条主要支流。该地的河谷狭窄,河水湍急。 传说中的狼C空中栈道,绝大部分都分布这段河谷里。 河谷两侧的山体极为陡峭,人工开凿出来的狭窄的空中栈道,在垂直的峭壁上盘旋而上,通过时让人心惊肉跳。空中栈道时而通向山梁,时而进入谷底,走在上面其实就是沿空中栈道在翻山越岭,体力消耗巨大。 河谷里植被丰富,次生林密集。虽然错过了最美的季节,但是,此时河谷丰富的植被,亦然色彩斑斓,红、黄、绿相间。谷底的台普希克玛河水清澈透亮,印衬出一副美轮美奂的河谷风光! 相信9月中旬来这里的山友应该可以欣赏到更美的台普希克玛河谷景色! 美丽的台普希克玛河谷风光 秀美的景色总是能让人格外的激动,有时还情不自禁会做出一些出格的事情。“高疯子”就是其中一个,经不住清澈透明的河水和两岸油画般的色彩的引诱,这位冬泳健将竟然出人意料地迅速把自己扒光,在温度只有七、八度冰河水里,来了个天体冷水浴!(照片未经本人同意请勿外传O(∩_∩)O哈哈~) 吓地两位女队友“石头”和“eleven”赶紧躲得远远的,烧水做饭去了. 中午3:30分,向日葵色板官方来到了空中栈道上很出名的那段栈道。说它出名,是因为这段栈道被山体塌方切断,已经无法正常通行。更重要的理由是,去年在这里曾经发生过山友堕包事件(幸好掉下去的是包而不是人!)。 下面插播一段“广告”,是我的队友也是狼c队伍里的二位美女之一关于这次狼c穿越的文字:狼c,走还是不走,是个问 作者:eleven “狼C”——走还是不走,是个问(上篇) (首先申明,这不是一篇游记、指南或攻略,这只是两个月后个人“徒后感”,如果记忆发生偏差,关于路途记述有差错之处,纯属“必然”,请各位大虾纠偏。虽然我在这段时间也梦回了几回,可是每次梦回都无端的生出些故事情节来,并且不知道该将这些情节安在哪里!) 酒的好喝正在于他的难喝。 ——《伤城》 走完这条线路后,偶而会和周围不曾徒过但却不断对徒步这事向往之的个别朋友聊关于“徒步”这档事,当我假模假势地说起这事时,内心的真实想法是:呸,就这破事儿有什么可聊的,没有开始徒却向往徒的家伙们总是想把这事提高到一个高度,俗称“升华”,无论是从哲学意义还是精神境界(如同当初的我,居然可以用“当初”,羞愧难当。如果非要提高高度,那就是头的那句了),其实呢,去他的,不过走走路而已,结局就是所有的关节不太灵光,象我这样的,居然还能整出“习惯性呕吐”这样的问来。所以劝你,别走!(这态度象极了小牛童鞋打电话让我选择“狼C”去还是不去时的态度。)。 大概9月中上旬时,小牛打电话说“刚刚好”他们准备走“狼C”,问我去否,我犹犹豫豫地不做选择,话里的意思大致是要小牛帮我做个决定,如果他觉的我能走,我就走,如果他觉的我不能,我再考虑考虑(意思是他如果愿意在路上帮我,就走,如果不帮就不走,阴险。),可是他就甩下一句话:“自己都觉的不行,那还走个屁呀,退坑!”,经过几个晚上的挣扎,我还是决定去,即使做出决定时还是两腿发抖。 这期间时不时朋友打来电话说天气预报说那几天变天,或者去户外店买东西也被店主一番规劝,“鲜橙多”在电话里大小道理又统统讲了一遍,然后参加两次碰头会,石头还是如此的坚定,打电话给背包问:猜猜看还有谁,背包答:大脚(多谢背包赐名)。 对于我来说也许不该放弃此次机会。参会的人如此激动、兴奋,以致于从“征途户外”出来,坐在下行的电梯里,大家只顾着讲话,完全没有注意到电梯压根就没动,没有人按1楼楼层。 走此线的家伙,脑子统统有问。在回家的路上,“树”给我做了最后一次思想工作:既然决定去,其他的事情一概不想,只要计划上路就好。 于是9月30日凌晨,背上背包,冲向集合点,讲出的话轻松,可是心里还是没底。 人陆续来齐,17座的车被“刚刚好”安排的刚刚好能塞下14头脑残患者及14坨大包,土狼童鞋坐地上,可坐可躺。 “刚刚好”当然坐在前,带路,于是在这条正儿八经的宽宽的公路上带错了进呼图壁县的路,这还没进山就错了,进山怎么办?(事实证明,这条对于刚刚好来讲梦回八百遍的“狼C”线,几乎比从他家到“征途户外”的路还清楚)。 “大自在”在自己店门前大摆早宴席,奶茶、包子款待这14头牲口。 (7天后,从山里了来,我深深理解大自在为何如此激动,快要拥抱向日葵色板官方中的每一个人了,那场景再回忆起来,颇有“风萧萧兮易水寒,壮士一去兮不复返”的感觉,当然,咱不“复返”,咱直接就去巴仑台了)。 吃好喝好,拎着“鸡蛋饼”真正上路,非常顺利,路修的很好,以致于向日葵色板官方可以少走十几公里的路。到达起始点,下车,整理背包,放鞭炮,与司机师傅告别,约定大概出山的时间,然后,跨出第一步。 从开始,我就有点吃不消了,上上下下在树林里穿行,没有停歇,好容易熬到午饭点,鸡蛋饼瞬间就没了。当然午饭点对于“疯子”来讲完全没选好———在河边(可是谁饭点不选在河边呢?),“疯子”象“精卫”一般,目就是要把河填了,并且不论什么河,于是在向日葵色板官方用午餐时,“疯子”正奋力搬着一块块的大石头扔向河里,待快吃好时,疯子停手了,开始用餐(难道为了餐前消化?)。 继续前行,仅仅是这一天的路,我已经在某些地段手脚并用了,回头还不晚,并且飞跃已经在怂恿了,可是谁甘心呢? “飞跃”领队之领队,捣乱军心,拉出去砍了(阿弥陀佛)。 路走的没有尽头,这一天却快到了尽头,天色渐渐暗了下来,我和飞跃走在最后,前方的人马可能已陆续到达营地,可是我还没看到营地在哪儿,有点急可还是得听领队之领队的教化:走十分钟,飞跃同志说,歇会儿,咱吃个黄瓜;再走十分钟,飞跃同志说,歇会儿,我抽根烟,再走十分钟,飞跃同志说,歇会儿,要不咱吃个西红柿(其实有在野外,想想这待遇,相当不错)? 如此停停走走之后,我终于在这条马道看到了尽头,前方已有星星点点的亮光,快到营地了,可飞跃老先生还是停停走走,最后,道出真言:反正快到营地了,咱就慢点走,等到了营地,帐篷也搭起来了,饭也做得了,咱到了,吃了就睡! 这理儿不错,可还是得看情况。到了营地,我这边确实帐篷和饭都好了,等我安心吃饭时,营地响起的是飞跃的吼声:菜豆,在哪儿呢,这到营地半天,怎么连帐篷还没扎? 阴谋未得逞的人,通常都有点躁,可以理解。 (这天向日葵色板官方遇到了上海队7人,两名向导,5名队员,队伍至此扩大为21人。) 7点多起床,9点出发,我们还没吃饭,至尊宝与无怨无悔已收拾好背包,随时准备出发。 十月一日,向日葵色板官方要翻过白杨沟达阪,据刚刚好说,白杨沟达阪让很多人知难而返,事实证明这是很有道理的。走了一上午,不断上升,逐渐已看不到树木,向日葵色板官方在石子山上由开始的逛奔到晃荡,然而始终未见达阪真面貌,达阪究竟在哪儿,在我已不怎么想要知道答案时,看到了走在最前面的“背包客”“石头”“树”等一伙人在休息(这伙人休息就是重要信息),或许要到了。 到达午休点,吃过后,对于神秘白杨沟达阪的描述是,走过N个前方能看到的大大大山坡,他们将这称为“台阶”,然后就能到白杨沟达阪的脚下了。开始上台阶吧,“飞翔”走在我前面,无声无息,可是这N个台阶,累的人牛喘,于是,飞翔终于只是念叨着四个字“这群牲口,这群牲口……”向日葵色板官方还在台阶挣扎时,估计那几头壮牲口已经到达了白杨沟达阪的半山腰了,以致我终于走完台阶到达达阪脚下时,隐约能看到几个在晃动的小点儿。抬头望向顶峰,只有一个感觉,我,永远也到不了那儿了! 再也不看顶峰,只看脚下的山路,一步步往上挪,3860M的达阪终归能到,不过时间问。这天海拔上升1000多米,这一路就是三菱电梯—上上下下的感觉!上一千多米下一千多米。 下山对于飞跃简直就是—无法形容,反正在我看来,脚没沾地,瞬间就没了影。 倒是至尊宝在我前方演绎下山的优美动作,形 容梅兰芳 先生有“移步不换形”,至尊宝这下山姿势,手杖使用的灵活度,太过于优美,脚随手杖而变,变的快而稳,大家都这么走,可有些人就残疾了,比如小牛童鞋。有至尊宝在前方带路,恰恰好,在天刚擦黑,到达营地,马鞍形营地,打水很不方便,下山还有很远一段路。 帐篷还没扎稳,山大爷就变脸了,疾风骤雨,瞬间就到!迅速地将炉头等转至帐篷内,慌着给帐篷拉风绳,大概这个时候,土狼正在山下打水。差不多待土先生回来没多久,风雨就止了,月朗星稀,空气新鲜。 (这夜无语,没洗早睡吧!过了白杨沟达阪,彻底就成了开弓没有回头箭,无法返回。黄舒俊的歌里唱:马不停蹄的忧伤,我不是归人,只是过客。我们马不停蹄的赶路,来不及忧伤,向日葵色板官方不是归人,谁把家安这呀,一年归个三四回,非疯即傻;不是过客,谁没事干跑这当过客,找残废!) 还是七点左右,土狼又吹起床号了,出了帐篷,依然看到的是无怨无悔和至尊宝这对儿,收拾停当,候着! 九点,开始今天的行程。今天,栈道。 走过今天,狼C就完成了90%以上(刚刚好语)。对于我,恶梦正在摩拳擦掌正悄悄向我走来。 早晨的路,还好!除了土狼和小牛童鞋为了给今天平静的早上增加点气氛,而至使土狼伤了自己狼爪子,小牛童鞋扯破了裤子外,还是很顺利。延河而行,可以上山可以下河,自由选择,只为了传说中的栈道。 走这一程,甚至来不及感觉到累,心里只有庆幸,今天天晴,如果有雨,不敢想象,一路向上,上不好走,下行更难。陡、滑、窄,每一步的迈出,都极其小心,土狼说,腿抖,不是累,是吓的!不夸张。 这一程完毕,“高疯子”在全体人员注目下洗了澡,裸体!(未完待续) 各位同学明天要出去爬山 暂时休息两天请耐心等待~~~~~{4_129} 这里是空中栈道的一个“老虎口”。大家格外小心地迂回,在45度的陡坡上,长满荆棘和灌木,需要手脚并用攀爬近40米的高度才可以绕过这个“老虎口”。 当然,这里面不包括一个人,这人大家都叫它“疯子”,它是较晚到达这个老虎口的,只见他在大家的劝阻和惊呼声中,背着30公斤的大包,“一溜黄烟”跑步穿过“老虎口”。他就是“疯子”----“飞跃”!我还急急忙忙将我的尼康d60对准了他,不怀好意地要给他拍“最后一跃”呢.......可真够玩命的!今年河水较小,如果是6--8月路过这里,仅是峡谷里震耳欲聋的河水声,就能使人心有余悸 下午4:00点,到达一小瀑布群河段,河水咆哮着冲下河谷,震耳欲聋,水雾弥漫折射出一道道细细的彩虹。这亦真亦幻的美景,使人久久不愿离去。 接下来,经过短暂的休整之后,开始爬越最长、最累的那段空中栈道。 这一次向日葵色板官方在栈道上,连续攀爬了近三个小时。栈道蜿蜒曲折、波浪前进。部分栈道,宽不足半米,头顶和侧壁还在不停地往外渗水。加上四十度以上的陡坡,更是湿滑难行。 而在栈道的另一侧,则是几十米高的悬崖峭壁和滔滔的台普希克玛河。在这段栈道上行走,每迈出一步,都需要格外地小心翼翼。 任何一个小小的失误,都有可能带来难以预料的后果。 在这段栈道上,向日葵色板官方还看到了一只因失蹄而摔下栈道的北山羊。(野山羊,国家二级保护动物) 这是一只非常健壮的成年母羊,羊龄十三岁(可以用数羊角上的节数的方法,来判断其年龄,一节代表一岁),体重在一百五十公斤以上,比家养山羊的两倍还要多。尸体还没有开始腐烂,应该是近一周之内才摔下来的。 这段栈道,除了极端地惊险刺激以外,还有海拔的反复上升、下降,体力消耗极大!严重地考验着队友们的胆识,磨砺着队友们的意志。 还是看照片吧 。由于要注意自身的安全,这一段的照片只能反映这段栈道的局部,当然,这已经非常不容易了 小心翼翼的切过这段山体滑坡,前面的沟谷豁然开朗,这可怕的空中栈道就算是走完了。 前面300米就是向日葵色板官方今天的今天的营地了也就是在这段栈道上,部分队友由于有恐高而选择逆河连续淌水而上,向日葵色板官方称之为“鱼路”。 向日葵色板官方把栈道称之为“天路”。两队中共有七名队友选择了走“鱼路”。我队中有“牛牛”、“eleven”、“高疯子”、“小曹”四人参加了“鱼队“。当然,这中间也包几名括并无恐高症,但特别擅长走“鱼路”的队友,比如“高疯子”和“小曹”。 传两张队友拍的”鱼路“的照片 下午7:00点,走“天路”的队友终于走出那漫长的栈道,陆陆续续到达了营地。 半个小时后,七名走“鱼路”的队友才拖着已经湿透了的下半身,疲惫不堪地来到营地。他们中的大多数已经被冰冷的河水冻的嘴唇发紫、身体瑟瑟发抖。个别队友有轻度失温征兆。特别是“eleven”,冰冷的河水的连续浸泡,已经使向日葵色板官方的美女的体力严重透支。 一到营地,赶紧支起帐篷,换去已经湿透的鞋袜和衣服。 “背包者”烧好的一大锅姜红糖水瞬间就被一抢而光。 看看这张照片,狼塔已经离向日葵色板官方近在咫尺了 事实证明,“天路”要比“鱼路”好走,即节省体力也节省时间。 至此,可以说向日葵色板官方这次狼塔C线穿越的三分之二的难、险路段已经过来了,谢天!谢地!!谢人!!! 谢天:感谢上苍给了向日葵色板官方难得的三个好天气! 谢地:总是有惊无险,遇难成祥! 谢人:感谢我们的团队,团队的协作和互助才是我们这次狼C之行成功的关键。 今天累计上升约800米(估计),下降800米(估计),行走距离约15公里,用时10个小时。惊险、刺激、体力消耗很大。未完待续请看下集:之四--- 向日葵色板官方和狼群有个约会 91# sue5343 (*^__^*) 嘻嘻……我努力吧 O(∩_∩)O谢谢 D4日:10月3日,又一个大好的晴天。进入狼塔核心区域-----向日葵色板官方和狼群有个约会 7:00点刚过,我就起床了。 因为昨天到达营地时我看到狼塔离向日葵色板官方已经很近了(约10公里),它那酷似尖塔的山型,在群山中高高耸起,非常醒目,俊秀。早起,是为了拍一张狼塔日出的照片----狼塔金顶。 虽然,我的机器和技术都很一般,但也算没有白起个大早,总算拍了几张,个人感觉运气还不错,我走过两次博格达峰穿越,每次都是云遮雾罩的,什么也没有拍到,这次可算是幸运多了。 早9:30分拔营,沿着一个很不起眼的小河口(沟口有一颗挂满红色小果的树,这可是狼c路上最重要的地之一),逆河而上。开始翻越海拔3555米的库勒阿特藤大坂。 相对高差1000米。 大阪顶最后的300米陡峭难行、是坡度在60度左右的流沙坡,厚厚的积雪还覆盖住了上大阪的马道,爬升难度较大。 除此之外,其他上达坂的路段还是比较平缓易行的。([]

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.
