旅行的目的是什么?简单的游山玩水?还是试图摆脱固有的陈旧环境,到一个完全陌生的城市无拘无束的松懈自己?又或是天马行空,嬉逐人间,纵情于湖光山色中映照内心?我不知道,每个人都应该拥有一个属于自己的答案。但我想,旅行应该是苦乐喜悲并举的。当向日葵色板官方处处防备围墙重重徘徊处,远方行人狭路相逢却不吝暖人笑意;当向日葵色板官方张开双手敞开怀抱投递每一个微笑时,陌生人剖心相照怀抱亦可如兄弟亲密。我想,这大概就是旅行的意义,消除偏见,发现自我,丰富人生。所有帖子已经更新完毕3楼河内篇29楼 芽庄篇621楼大叻篇 我的越南行——我一定会怀念这一路,自由短暂却彻底。 鸣谢 行在越南网 友情提供的旅游景区攻略资料。十一假期我该去哪里? 从没有踏出过国门,一直想去到一个完全不能用汉语的地方,想体验那种不一样的生活,独自。这次我听了同事的建议去一趟芽庄享受一下沙滩、潜水、美味海鲜也是及好的。越南是一个超级适合度假的地方,海岸线狭长,海鲜、潜水、海景房样样都有,样样便宜,中国人去玩完全没有压力。越南还是个快乐的国度,完全没有向日葵视频黄色视频里说的那么穷,人们不会过于追求金钱,而是选择舒服地活着。很容易就被越南人乐观的情绪所感染。越南每个旅游城市都有自己的特点,一路下来,完全不会审美疲劳。河内街头的电车美女与美食,让你眼睛和舌头上天堂;芽庄是潜水的圣地,还有洗黑泥的妹纸和海鲜;大叻像阿尔卑斯山下的小镇,红墙绿瓦、咖啡飘香。。。乘坐到达河内大巴车到达友谊关,在友谊关,给边防武警递上自己的护照,他职业性地微笑一下,盖个戳,然后放行。办理了出境之后,我就算真正地离开了祖国,跟随人流进入了越南边防的小房子,大家都挤成了一团,每个人都在护照里夹了10块钱递进办入境的窗口(据说不夹钱,护照就会被扔到一边,没人管),没有零钱给他一张100居然只找了我88块钱。。奶奶的多收了2块钱小费,算了到了人家地盘上乖乖的,只希望护照快点出来。大概等了10来分钟,就会有越南长官拿着一叠护照挨个念名字,不过发音确实很蛋疼,念到名字的人拿上护照就算入境了,没听清的人也不用着急,他会再念第二遍。友谊关可以换到全世界最高的汇率 1元RMB=3400越南盾,熬了30年,终于成了百万富翁…… 抵达河内,在三十六行街(背包客比较多的商业街)随便找了个酒店住下来,酒店到处都是,价格也便宜,双人间基本上就是15-20美元一天,摩托车一天大概要7美金。由于历史原因语言交流出现了严重的障碍,可爱的越南妹子说的英格力斯我完全的不懂,没办法只好使用必杀技“国际手语”她完全的明白,OK!住了房,租了摩托,问好路~出发!河内的天气和8月的北京差不多,一样那么闷热,身体虽然遭罪,但眼睛却很享福,因为每个人都穿得那么性感 ,一到还剑湖,立马感受到这里的生活节奏是如此的安逸,每个人都慢悠悠地活着,街边游走着不少卖美食的小贩,还有不少美女悠闲地骑着摩托车,我想我来对地方了。第一次到越南,对什么东西都充满了新鲜感,特别是对河内的妹纸,她们面容娇好、身材苗条,打扮时尚。河内留给我的两个印象:美女多、摩托车多,当这两者结合起来:很多美女骑着摩托车在你身边来来往往,这场景,光是想想都会让人流口水。 河内的摩托车确实多,大街小巷全是,今天一天看到的摩托车,比过去十年还多,都说重庆生产的力帆摩托车都卖给了越南,看来,还真是这样的。 不多拍点摩托美女 怎么能对得起看帖子的劳苦大众~虽然是大清早,但依然不时有漂亮的妹纸来让你眼前一亮,特别是她们骑摩托车的样子让你有种想变成摩托车的冲动。 本以为对面那个甜美系的妹纸是越南人,一搭讪才发现是日本人,顿时兴趣大减,要看漂亮日本妹纸在家就可以了,根本用不着跑到越南来。 沿着还剑湖由北走到南,就是越南国家历史博物馆,了解一个国家,至少要知晓一些它的历史;了解一个国家的历史,博物馆是个好去处。越南历史博物馆建于1932年,主体部分是一座三层黄色的建筑物,有着八角攒尖的顶和仿木结构的斗拱和瓦檐,也有向外突出的欧式阳台,汇集了东西方不同的建筑风格。占婆时期的青铜鼓、新石器时期的陶器 、占婆时期的青铜器 、阮朝时期的瓷器 、前黎朝的木佛像 、阮朝时期的书籍,未被法国占领之前,越南一直在使用汉字 。沿路上很多城管车,都是用喇叭喊,大概的意思也就是禁止占道之类的,但是每个人都荷枪实弹有点让路人打怵的。突然有个想法:不知道与向日葵色板官方国内的城管PK一下 会是什么结果呢?圣约瑟夫大教堂,第一感觉就是很眼熟,原来这就是巴黎圣母院的缩小版,建于1886年。看来法国人在越南殖民时期还是狠下了血本的。黑白斑驳的墙面充满了历史感,应该说这里是河内最美的建筑了,教堂的大门只有在举办弥撒时才会打开,其余的时间,游客要从侧面进,侧门位于面对教堂左侧的小巷内。 骑着摩托的确很快,按照地图的示,本来要去文庙的,却误打误撞的走进战争博物馆,既来之则游之,买票进场!讲解员妹纸慷慨激昂的诉说着越南人民是如何用智慧击败美帝国主义,一幅幅图片、一片片残骸仿佛在给人们还原那一段刻骨铭心的侵略战争。胡爷爷纪念堂威严的耸立在市中心,他老人家不在家,据说是到俄罗斯度假去了~纪念堂门口站的兵是我见过的所有越南士兵当众最板正的。。。 面对纪念馆的右手边是主席府(法国统治期间的总督府),胡志明曾经在里面办公生活,后来感觉太过奢侈,便搬到了旁边的小院 面对纪念馆的左手边就是独柱寺了,独柱寺经常被作为越南的志被建在在世界各地的世界公园里,原寺1954年法国撤军时被炸毁,仅存石柱。1955年在原址依原样重建,但规模小于原建。河内游荡的一天里在路边、巷子边看到了很多寺庙,烧香拜佛的僧众还真不少,香火鼎盛,愿佛祖保佑他们!阿门~哈利路亚!途中遇到一个公园,我也小清新一下,坐在公园一角欣赏越南人民的业余生活,街舞、健美操、羽毛球、足球充斥其中。看着他们打球我手就痒了起来,忍不住下场与越南人民进行了一场羽毛球友谊赛,中越混双VS美越男双!感动不是战胜对手的那一刻,到一个地方感受当地的文化气息,简单的几句英语交流,与无国界的运动交织在一起,得此机遇我愿足矣。。。。返回酒店途中,再遇河内的摩托大军,开始骑的不是很快总是害怕被车撞一直让车,后来才知道越南的司机技术都超好,他们会躲着你的。 夜晚的河内非常热闹,老外、小吃、美女、酒吧。。。越南人喜欢喝喝啤酒,找个四通八达的路口,几根小板凳,喝一口酒,就一口菜,眼睛也不忘给来来往往的妹纸行个注目礼。老外们则光顾一些有情调雅致的酒吧咖啡吧。各种现榨水果汁儿,我最喜欢甘蔗和芒果汁,超级爽!晚饭很是奢侈,足足花了我15万大洋,不过这不是重点!吃饭中对面偶遇一日本人,连比划带说算是认识了,这家伙倒是很客气,不过咱的革命立场不能变啊,最后哥用纯正的东北话对他重申钓鱼岛是向日葵色板官方中国的...他点头表示认同河内总结篇: 住:还剑湖北边的三十六行街即老街区有很多旅馆,-0不等,住这里有几个好处,首先是热闹,出门就是各式各样的小商店;其次这里是旅行社、参观、网吧云集的地方,要参各团、吃个饭什么的方便;再次,这里离景区都比较近,方便步行参观。 吃:在越南一般就吃米粉pho ,炒饭com,春卷cha gio,向日葵色板官方一般都在三十六行街的路边摊解决的,一般,一碗牛肉粉20.000D的样子,有的hotel楼下有cafe,吃过一次类似盖浇饭样的东西30.000D,试过一次“中国式烧烤”,鸡翅10.000D一串还说得过去,香菇也10.000D一串!喝的除了碳酸饮料和鲜啤酒还有果汁,强烈推荐芒果汁和甘蔗汁,越南的芒果甘蔗很甜,一般10.000D~20.000D一杯,试下当地啤酒也不错,没什么酒味,我很喜欢,一般8.000D一杯。 玩:河内的景点主要分布在还剑区和巴亭区,步行一天基本上可以看完。瞻仰胡志明墓,参观胡志明故居和独柱寺,然后去文庙,参观军事博物馆、历史博物馆、和大教堂。喜欢买东西的可以逛逛三十六行街。河内这些景点的票价都很便宜,一般都在RMB10以下。 行:摩托车出租(150,000D/天),腿脚好的步行参观也可以,因为市区其实没有多大,而且不用担心停车的问,走到哪都可以停下来拍照或者买东西。芽庄篇根据行程 向日葵色板官方在芽庄逗留3日,在芽庄的时光是我感觉到最舒服的,蓝天、海滩、潜水、四岛游、泥巴浴、占婆塔...童鞋们跟着我的图片尽情游荡在美丽的芽庄小镇到达芽庄已经是傍晚,这里的第一顿必须是海鲜啊,龙虾超便宜每公斤大概20~25万,合人民币60元。([]

要不要看比萨欧洲50天,总花费18000人民币的故事?! 又是一年一度的比萨出走日,9月1日下的飞机,历经12国50天的欧洲之旅圆满结束。本来想在沉淀沉淀再来发帖,不过发现这次的照片实在是太多了,还是赶紧放上来,早点和大家分享,不然不知道要更新到什么时候。不过看过比萨以前帖子的人都知道,比萨的“坑”品有保障,更新虽慢,但绝不会虎头蛇尾。 熟悉比萨风格的都知道比萨的片子绝不是风景大片,而是走进生活,让你更加深入的了解各国的风土人情。欧洲是全世界的青年都想要去的地方,那里自由、平等、和谐,人们的生活节奏是如此的慢,人与人之间的交往是如此的简单,人们的言行是如此的自由,比萨的沙发之旅会带你走进他们的家庭,去看一看欧洲人是怎样生活的,他们的生活习惯和向日葵色板官方又有哪些不同。 这次12国50天的行程确实有些赶,比萨不是在车上,就是在行走的路上。听了拉脱维亚沙发主的建议,整个欧洲之旅几乎都是大巴,只有一次逼不得已搭了一次车,结果夜宿加油站,但却结识了忘年交——一个意大利老头;只有一次搭飞机,还多交了10欧的check in费(不做功课的下场);只有一次被臭虫咬的经历,你现在还确定欧洲很干净吗?当比萨在佛罗伦萨喝着啤酒抽着大麻时,房祖名在自己的家中因吸食大麻被逮捕(大麻啊,比烟叶劲大的一种草,竟被说成吸毒,那吸烟也会上瘾,为什么不说是吸毒?);当比萨在巴塞罗那的海滩裸晒时,国内的妹妹还朝着白富美奋力靠近;当比萨飞回北京在飞机上想看看北京的时候,只看到一片灰霾,直到感觉飞机落地,才看到地面,多可悲的空气质量。估计大家有很多关于欧洲的问问比萨1、问:欧洲真的很干净吗?答:空气很干净,地面不干净,到处都是烟头,大家抽完烟喜欢随手扔地上。2、问:欧洲人都喷香水吗? 答:当然不是。经常走在路上一阵劲风扑面,能噎死比萨。3、问:欧洲人真的是白天洗澡吗? 答:是的,早上必须洗,不然会熏死人的。4、问:欧洲人的家都是非常大吗? 答:不全是。大城市的房价很贵,住小公寓、合租公寓的比比皆是。5、问:欧洲真的是红灯停绿灯行吗? 答:不是的。欧洲车少人少,有时候红灯的时候路上没有车,大家就不会站在那里等红灯。但是即使行人闯红灯,汽车也会在离行人至少5米时停下,让行人先过。6、问:欧洲的公共厕所是都有卫生纸吗? 答:是的。除了那些移动公厕,所有的厕所都有卫生纸。而且欧洲人不用纸篓,家家户户的厕所里也没有纸篓,直接扔马桶里冲走。……….还是和以前一样,惫懒的比萨还是没有做攻略,买了机票就飞了,走一站联系下一站的沙发主,这一路就靠他们了,哪里有好吃的哪里有好玩的,怎会逃的了他们的手心。所以如果有景点我介绍错误,请大家及时指正。首先介绍一下这次旅行的12个国家,按照先后顺序:俄罗斯、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、波兰、、德国、荷兰、比利时、捷克、奥地利、意大利、西班牙、法国。其次我想大家最关心的是证问吧。跟大家介绍一下,我这次办了两个证,一个是俄罗斯证(淘宝上办的,只需要提供护照和照片),另一个是申根证。这里重点说一下申根证:1、我的是荷兰,因为手续最简单,出时间最短,拒率最低。2、我是自己递的,全部资料都是自己准备,证要求什么就提供什么,不要求的也不需要提供。3、申根证最需要注意的就是行程单和住宿预订。我的行程单是用穷游助手编辑的,住宿预订是在booking上预订,证拿到手后就全部取消了。机票:全程只飞了三次,分别是北京——莫斯科、都灵——巴塞罗那、巴黎——北京。总费用大概6400左右。都是提前2-3天买的机票,因为这次没有行程计划,走一步算一步所以没有提前买机票。住宿:比萨50天只住了4天的旅店,其他全部是沙发冲浪,所以住宿费用也就1000元人民币左右。交通:除了荷兰——比利时,整个意大利是火车,都灵——巴塞罗那是飞机,其余全部是大巴,大巴是欧洲最经济安全的交通工具了。之后我会在各国的游记中给大家介绍几个欧洲不错的廉价大巴。不要以为廉价就不好,所有的大巴都有卫生间,免费WIFI。现金:只带了400美金(只花了100美金),一张华夏银行卡,欧洲银联识的ATM还是很多的,随花随取更安全。行李:1、依旧是45升的包包,几件衣服,一个大围巾、睡袋,不再是简单洗漱用品了,因为欧洲物价贵,能带的都带齐了吧,当然有钱人可以自动忽略我说的。2、转换插头就带那种万能转换头就行,淘宝上十元左右,轻便实用。3、不用带卫生纸了,那种小包的纸巾带些就行,因为欧洲走到哪里都会有卫生纸,即使是大巴的卫生间都会有卫生纸,我带了两包卫生纸都没有派上用场。36楼 俄罗斯—圣彼得堡 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-53092793.html183楼 拉脱维亚—里加https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-53442553.html218楼 立陶宛—维尔纽斯https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-53580431.html250楼 波兰—华沙https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-53597685.html297楼 德国——柏林 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-53779008.html341楼 荷兰——阿姆斯特丹 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-54202792.html427楼 荷兰——鹿特丹 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-55214364.html471楼 比利时——布鲁塞尔 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-55279623.html526楼 德国——法兰克福 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-55392367.html628楼 捷克——布拉格 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-56146326.html692楼 奥地利——维也纳 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redire ... 8-pid-56395186.html飞机上坐我旁边的妹子是在天津上学的莫斯科人,一聊才发现她认识好几个我的朋友,包括已经回白俄的两个好朋友!下飞机她带我去找ATM机取现。ATM就在电梯的右手边,百事可乐的旁边。ATM是全俄文操作,没有英文,妹子全程帮助我搞定,先去了3000卢布。妹子的父亲来接她,约好回津喝一杯。沿着有这个指示的志,去坐火车前往莫斯科市中心。最快捷的购票方法就是机器自助购票,看到很多人排队的地方,就是购票点了。机器购票非常的快捷方便,有中文操作界面。这个就是车票,进站的时候扫描上面的条码。如果不会机器购票,也有人工售票的,不过要排队。机场快线还是挺高大上的!火车上有可以放行李的架子。下了火车就要倒地铁,莫斯科的地铁站我很无语,因为没有做功课,还是照大众地铁站去找地铁站,结果绕了好几圈,几次从地铁站前经过都不知道那个就是地铁站,一直认为那是一家公司或商场什么的。卖地铁票的基本上都是俄罗斯大妈,不要指望她们能听懂你说英文,所以第一次买票又是一个好心妹子的帮忙,在俄罗斯的期间,经常被妹子帮忙!莫斯科地铁票40卢布我去俄罗斯之前联系的沙发主,和她约定在地铁站见面,因为这个地铁站只有一个出口。同时来的还有沙发主的另外两个沙发客,其中一个是阿根廷人,准备从莫斯科坐火车去北京,哈哈。在背包的时候不小心把腰扭了,当时就不能动了,疼的要命,到了沙发主家放下行李就躺着了,他们晚上出去喝酒我也没跟着去,实在是太疼,微信联系国内的好友求助怎么快速治疗扭伤。这是我在俄罗斯的第一个沙发主这个是她家 晚上睡床的睡床,睡地的睡地,我睡的沙发 7月10日今天沙发主第一个出门上班了,一个沙发客也早早出门见朋友去了,阿根廷的小伙在收拾行李,今天他就要去坐火车了。我因为腰扭了,也没打算出去转悠,而且一下不能适应莫斯科的天气,这真不是夏天的温度,还是那句话,不做功课冻死人啊,谁知道欧洲的夏天如此凉快。我这次出门只带了一件长袖,这件长袖一直穿到了巴黎,呵呵!因为家门钥匙留给了我,所以要等阿根廷的小哥走后我才能出门, 沙发就是这样往往刚开始熟悉就要说再见了。记住这个土耳其烤肉吧,全欧洲最便宜有管饱的食物了,有菜有肉有干粮。整个欧洲行吃的最多的就是它了。但是各国的口味都不太一样。这一天就是在沙发主家附近转悠转悠,缓解一下背部疼痛,不过我朋友告诉我的方法还挺管用,扭到腰及时按这种方法运动,基本上有两天就好了。还跟我沙发主说今天逛了几个公园,她就说那你走了很远啊,我说没有啊,就在你家附近,她说我家附近没有公园。然后我才知道人家所谓的公园基本上就是一片森林了,像这种的草地那就是街边的绿化带。 沙发主住的位置相当于北京的四环,但比四环贵多了。俄罗斯就是这样,只有莫斯科和圣彼得堡的收入高、消费贵,其他的地方都穷的要死,如果能适应莫斯科的消费,那么到了西欧也不会被高消费吓到。这次比萨基本上都是用手机拍的照片,所以有时画面不清晰或有些抖,请大家不要介意。进屋发现门口的招财猫,原来沙发主去过中国不少地方。我这位沙发主周五就要出城去度周末,所以联系了另外一个沙发主,今天去他家住。这个沙发主离现在的沙发主家不远地铁两站就到了,走路的话20分钟。这是我在莫斯科的第二个沙发主家,沙发主是个IT工程师,他把他的卧室让给我睡,他睡在客厅。看看就知道了,卧室除了有这么一个吓人的模型,就什么都没有了,客厅至少还有电视、电脑等各种娱乐设备。卧室客厅厨房 俄罗斯人大都很严肃,应该说大部分东欧的人都是不爱笑的。我这个沙发主就是,所以搞得我也不是很爱说话了,之后他给我的评价就是安静又冷静的女生,呵呵。沙发主家的窗外我觉得自己特别二,明明看见晚上有雨,气温这么低,结果第二天还穿着人字拖出去,二到家了。7月11日今天真是难忘的一天啊,比萨最爱穿的就是人字拖了,今天也是穿的它,结果把姐都冻傻了!真的不知道为什么一夜之间气温就降到如此之低。早上出门的时候,沙发主已经穿上卫衣、夹克了,我在屋子里面没感觉啊,依旧穿着人字拖出去了,结果走了一段路后就开始后悔为什么不穿球鞋,可是也不能回去了啊,沙发主要去上班,不能耽误人家工作。关键是这个沙发主不给家门钥匙。他把我送到了红场,自己再坐地铁去上班。地铁里有卖面包的,买了两个当早点,然后开始今年夏天最冷的一日游。一出地铁就是这个样子的。拍照的时候认识了一个西班牙的小哥,他住在马德里要去泰国度假,在莫斯科转机。俄航在欧洲是性价比较高的航空公司,大多数欧洲人穷游旅行亚洲会选择俄航。小伙有10个小时的转机时间就来红场转悠。这是克林姆林宫的外墙如果我说这个莫斯科著名的建筑物,经常出现在封面、明信片的教堂我不知道叫什么名字,不会有人笑话我吧。整个莫斯科我唯一能叫出名字的就是克林姆林宫和红场,呵呵。和西班牙小哥合个影看看今天的气温,姐感觉又回到冬天了。西班牙小哥也是从温暖的南欧飞来,准备飞去炎热的泰国,衣服也是没有多少,同样冻得不行,向日葵色板官方完全没有心情去看什么克林姆林宫了,决定找个暖和的地方喝一杯。克林姆林宫前的喷泉找了家餐厅能喝酒能上网的中午的时候,小哥说要吃一顿俄罗斯的传统菜,其实就是烤肉、牛排什么的,在我感觉这个欧洲的菜都是一个口味的。然后向日葵色板官方就一路走一路问,想找一家地道的俄餐厅俄罗斯人得英语真是不敢恭维,问了无数人才遇见一个哥们儿英语非常好,给向日葵色板官方指了一条正确的路,找到一家地道的俄餐厅。坐向日葵色板官方旁边的是几个中国人,他们都在莫斯科呆了很多年了,这次正好是陪从国内来这边的一个领导出来玩,他们说向日葵色板官方还是很会挑餐厅的。幸亏有他们,不然全俄文的菜单还真看不懂,主菜我要的牛肉539卢布,可真不便宜,不过看着挺小一块,但是我一个人吃还是有点多。传说中的红菜汤传说中的格瓦斯路上会有这种路,按着指示可以找到最近的银行,虽然看不懂俄文,但是数字几百米还是看的懂的。这家银行有银联示可以使用银联取现。晚上需要我沙发主帮我买火车票,所以先取些现金。我有个不好的毛病就是很粗心,这个在国内还好办,但是这次因为粗心可是闹了不少笑话。这次取钱看也不看就在那里按下一步下一步,结果取了一把百元钞票。还好银行的人好说话,给我换成了千元大钞便于携带。 西班牙小哥吃完午饭就回机场了,取完钱已经下午4点了,气温也在慢慢回升,溜达一会就找个地方坐了。莫斯科的地铁全部是俄文,没有英文。如果不懂俄文,最好是提前知道要去的站名,然后对照字母找到几号线和方向,还是比较容易的,不过报站就完全听不懂了。换乘的时候注意脚下,上面会有数字沿着方向走就可以找到换乘线路莫斯科的地铁非常的深,大约要2-3分钟才能到达底部对照字母可以找到乘车方向莫斯科的夏天几乎没有黑夜,晚上11点多感觉像是黄昏,然后早上3点多天又亮了7月12日这一路上住了很多沙发,只有两个沙发主临时改变日程,其中一个就是这位莫斯科的,说好了住到周日,结果周六人家告诉我要和家人出城度周末,所以要早早起床。我赶紧联系圣彼得堡的沙发主,告诉他要提前一天到。车票买的是最便宜的,普通硬座,不过上车才发现是卧铺车厢改的,完全可以躺上去。下午的火车,但是一大早就要跟沙发主出门,把我送到地铁站,不到9点就到火车站了。早点又吃的这个这是火车站周围([]

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([]
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。新航不愧是以服务著称的航空公司,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服务啦。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。([]
人生总是有许多遗憾,虽然向日葵色板官方极力去避免,但它还是常常会在某个角落与向日葵色板官方不期而遇,让我们感受到生活并非总是遂心如意...... 旅行也是如此,在路上,向日葵色板官方无法要求并做到每一段行程都能够完美,途中那些或多或少的“意料之外”,无论带来的是“得”还是“失”, 它们都可能会改变向日葵色板官方的生活和生活态度——“多走一段弯路就多看一段风景”,今生,我愿生命能在山的那边“醉”成一道风景,哪怕,哪怕再多走一段弯路……——记 “风在追求叶子,承诺要带着叶子去看看外面精彩的世界,叶子犹豫不决,征求树的意见,树说,你若不离,我便不弃……然而,终于有一天,叶子被风打动,于是选择了随风去漂泊”……“旅行”与“旅游”不同,我想,旅行,真的需要一种心境,当你有了坚定的信念,义无返顾的的走下去时,你将会发现——并非只有他人可以,原来,我,也可以这样……——记 这个世上的很多东西都无法诠释,包括所有的“痛苦”与“幸福”,包括所有的“放下”与“放不下”——结缘“贡嘎”,完全出于当时面对一组画面后那一瞬间的震撼,从此,在心中再也没能放下。我想,人世间很多事情也是如此吧,生命中那些个偶然乍现的“一刹那”,常常会换来一个个或长或短的期盼,让你在渐行渐远的等待中觉得幸福就在不远的将来……——记这是当时令我震撼的一组画面 随着《中国国家地理杂志》的推介,“贡嘎山”从深藏闺中变为天下驴子所共知,每年来此徒步的人络绎不绝,只为一睹它的风采。“贡嘎山”坐落于“青藏高原”东部边缘,“大渡河”与“雅砻江”之间,位于“甘孜藏族自治州”的“泸定”、“康定”、“九龙”三县境内,以“蜀山之王”美誉的“贡嘎”主峰海拔7556米为中心,主峰周围著名的山峰有:中山峰海拔6886米、爱德嘉峰6618米,热德卖峰6549米,笔架山5880米,蛇海子山5878米,白海子山5924米,田海子山6070米等五、六千米以上的冰峰有145座,形成了群峰簇拥、雪山相接的宏伟景象。由“木格错”、“五须海”、“巴王海”等高原湖泊,“海螺沟”、“贡嘎南坡”、“贡嘎寺”、“塔公寺”等藏族、彝族等丰富多彩的民族风情和藏传佛教寺庙组成,面积1万平方公里。这组“贡嘎”主峰相片是此行领队“橄榄树”拍摄的 “贡嘎山”是国际上享有盛名的高山探险和登山圣地,但贡嘎山也是最难以征服的大尺度极高海拔雪山,其登顶难度远远大于珠穆朗玛峰。据统计到目前为止,仅有24人成功登顶,却有37人在攀登中和登顶后遇难,这其中包括14名外国人。登山死亡率远远超过珠峰的14%和K2峰的30%,仅次于梅里雪山和雅拉雪山。目前已有多年无人登顶。 “贡嘎”徒步路线主要有三条:一、上木居—草科 ;二、草科—老榆林; 三、老榆林—上木居。其中,第一条最易,第三条最难,五座雪山集中在“日乌且”沟,这是此路线的精华所在。根据网上资料介绍,观看“贡嘎”主峰最漂亮的季节是在冬季,以每年的10月下旬至5月上旬这个时间段内雪后初晴为最佳观景时间。借网上图片截图说明 .下图是本次行走路线的参考图(图中央黄色路线为原计划此行穿越的增改路线)---前序部分结束---在此,先道上一声感谢,感谢一直关心和关注我此行的家人和朋友;感谢一路走来,无私的帮助我、并在途中为我留下一张张宝贵画面的队友们…… ——起程—— 向日葵色板官方总是这样,总是要等到过了很久以后,才知道曾经亲手舍弃的东西在后来的日子里再也遇不到了, 所以,别再浪费时间纠结“昨天”曾欠缺了向日葵色板官方什么,翻过去的那一页无论是辉煌还是窘迫,就让它安静的化成一段旧时光吧。——记 四个多小时的汽车,然后倒车到机场,飞机经停济宁后到达成都,从早晨到傍晚背着大包不停的折腾,哎,谁让俺住在东北的极角旮旯——距离北朝鲜最近的边境城市“丹东”,这里,去哪,都好远。到达成都后与队友汇合,当晚入住在“新南门汽车客运站”附近的“交通青年旅舍”,这里乘车去“康定”很方便。 ——记 日子,依旧还要继续,人生道路需要向日葵色板官方自己去努力谱写新的篇章,别“奢望”和“乞讨”别人能给你想要的“明天”……当这个冬季来临,当再一次忙忙碌碌做着出行前的准备,我知道,我又将踏上去往远方的路,去山的那边,去看看属于我的梦想......——记——第一天—— D1(11月30日):成都乘坐班车出发——雅安——二郎山——泸定——康定——包车至老榆林、水电站——徒步到格西草原(海拔约3600M)扎营(注:“格西草原”又名“大草坝”,是个高山大草甸,相传是“格萨尔王”征战过的地方。从“水电站”进山,一路沿着河水逆行,就已经可以看到“小贡嘎”、“嘉子峰”了,当日到达进山徒步入口处时间已晚,行程短,很较松,大家开始适应海拔)清晨,离开新南门的“交通青旅”(物品在此免费寄存了十天,感谢您的向日葵视频色板APP官网) 曾经,一首“康定情歌”让大江南北的人记住了它。“康定县”是四川省甘孜藏族自治州的首府,是C318川藏线上的一个重镇,距离成都330公里,自从“二郎山”隧道开通后路况于交通已大有改善,从成都乘班车大约六、七个小时到达。——记上车后的我依旧习惯了睡大觉,“成都”到“康定”一路没有拍照,这张是包车到“老榆林”的路上(BY 橄榄) 1735分,在水电站入口处下车开始徒步(某男,长的太帅,怕人见人爱,希望我把他的脸遮住,于是我发明了各种口罩) 从“老榆林”出发不久,海拔6070米的“田海子”雪山就出现在眼前 此时已经傍晚18时,按照原计划,进山后并不需要走太多的路便可以扎营休整 队长大银,天黑了,咱们啥时候扎营做饭呐——哎,没一个人搭理俺。一身骚绿色的“海浪”兴趣盎然不减,各种得瑟,各种摆拍,差点晃瞎了俺们大家的眼…… 海拔约3600M的“格西草原”(又名大草坝)营地的合影是此行的第一张全家福。画面可以看出,此行三男两女的搭配可以堪称为完美组合,那天,从徒步进山开始笑声便一直不断 没想象到队长从家乡带来了正宗的“贵州镇宁六马狗肉火锅”,二斤狗肉外加汤他背了一路,让向日葵色板官方在海拔3600米的营地品尝到了如此的美味(此画面虽然看不清脸有多帅,起码能看清帅锅的嘴哦) 夜幕降临,气温急剧下降,毫无睡意的向日葵色板官方挤在我的帐篷里喝茶、侃大山,队长在外面为向日葵色板官方记录下这个营地夜晚的快乐 “大草坝”营地的星空(当日最低气温约-8度左右)(BY 橄榄) 向日葵色板官方的D1营地……(BY 橄榄) 感谢一路有你——我此行的队友——相识真好 走在一起是缘分,一起在走是幸福”,我相信,途中所有的“缘分”都是相互的,它需要一份淡定去看待“随缘而聚”,它需要一种洒脱去对待“得与失”,它更需要用一颗宽容淡泊的情怀去尊重彼此、相互信赖——善待自己也要善待他人,我相信,在外行走的范围也是一个“世界”——情深未曾讲,今天,我在这里道上一声感谢,感谢一路有你!——记活动的召集人、此行的领队:贵州的“橄榄”(备注:体力超强,一路打前锋趟雪、探路,争先恐后的把啥大活都干了,堪称此行的安保和全职保姆)([]
美国佛蒙特州440公里的"长小道", The Long Trail, 是美国最老的长距离贯通徒步小道。它于1910年至1930年期间修筑完成。其南端起点为与麻萨诸塞州的州界,北部终点是与加拿大接壤的边境线。"长小道"穿越佛蒙特州境内的整个绿山山脉,Green Mountains的大部分顶峰。 同时它又与美国东部地区的另一个3500公里的长距离小道,阿帕拉契亚小道, Appalachian Trail,在其南部公享170公里左右的线路。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的英文简介。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的位置图。"长小道"以地形复杂,险峻,困难而著称。佛蒙特州东部临近大西洋,西部紧接香槟湖,所以雨量很充沛,加上沿途的土质为细泥,遇水后,小道积水不散,十分泥泞,极易导致身体行走部位的疾病。退却的冰川在佛蒙特州留下了明显的痕迹,小道经常使用,在陡峭地区水土流失严重,遇水后,光滑裸露的石头给行走者带来非常不确定的安全保障系数。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的小比例尺地形图。"长小道", The Long Trail由佛蒙特州的GREEN MOUNTAIN Club的工作人员负责养护,维修,和提供各种便利的设施,象避难所,或简易木屋等。 他们在有些地点向徒步露营者收取一定的费用,以补贴开销。小道依然用白色油漆的长方形记号,在树上,表示小道的方向。外加最多木质的文字指示牌,来提供给使用者简洁明了的信息。这种运作模式在很多美国当地的户外俱乐部都采纳,特别是沿由各州俱乐部分段负责的阿帕拉契亚小道, Appalachian Trail。"长小道"历史的英文简介。我在2009年做3500公里阿帕拉契亚小道, Appalachian Trail背包贯通时,完成了在其南端的170公里,在2010年又从加拿大边境向南走了约80公里。我今年从与阿帕拉契亚小道, Appalachian Trail分岔的地方重新开始,向北190公里,与去年停止的地方相接,从而完成了全长440公里的的"长小道"。限于时间与水平,我大部采用纪实性的描述,并按时间推移的顺序来完成这个记录。2009年8月21日当日起点 Wilbur Clearing Tent Site, MA, AT M. P. 1,579.4当日终点 Congdon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 10.0里程数 10.0 英哩 (16.1 公里)天气 阴天到暴雨我今天的路程。红色的小屋,外加说明,为示意性的夜晚露营地点。我进到镇上的时间尚早,按预定计划补充食品,便沿2号公路往Williamstown的超市走去。我给自己买了四个甜面包圈,和一大杯咖啡,很快消灭完了。购物完毕后,我感到天气十分的闷热,沿着来时的公路返回小道。麻萨诸塞州与佛蒙特州的交界还在照片大山的后面,要有一阵子爬了。由于天热,上坡消耗了不少的体力。到了山顶我发现天开始飘下雨滴来,但没有任何立刻的威胁。 麻萨诸塞州在"长小道"南端起点与州界交会处设置的牌。这里同时又与阿帕拉契亚小道, Appalachian Trail共用。佛蒙特州在"长小道"南端起点与州界交会处设置的牌。沿着它走440公里,就可以到加拿大的边境了,但最好不要越过,万一被美国边境巡逻发现,法律问就来了。我重新上路几个小时后遇到了一场雷暴雨,被迫穿着雨衣,坐在地上半个小时。在到达Congdon Shelter之前,我走过湖边,泥潭,沼泽地等,两脚全部湿透,给今后几天的行程带来了极大的痛苦。我走了好半天终于到了Congdon Shelter, 一个老旧,黑暗的双层木屋。一个来自澳大利亚的阿帕拉契亚小道南行直通背包客已经在里面了。我们聊了好半天,并想法晾干潮湿的衣服,但作用不大。我刚睡下不久,也快要到晚上九点钟,两个年轻人,Tully和Jungli 姗姗来迟。我心里有点意见,但想来他们为年轻人,正在学习阶段,不要过分责备他们。由于我从麻萨诸塞过来一直在病中恢复,体力非常疲乏,人情绪很低落,加上天气不好,脚病严重,小道西周无风景,所以连续好多天,拍片的欲望几乎没有。 2009年8月22日当日起点 Congdon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 10.0当日终点Goddard Shelter, VT LT M.P. 24.4里程数 14.4 英哩 (23.2 公里)天气 阴天到小雨我依旧想往常一样,早早起来,与那位来自澳大利亚的朋友互相道别,便走在茂密,潮湿,和泥泞的树林里。那两个年轻人还在睡觉,就象其他年轻人一样,起来的都较晚。但他们体力好,白天能做出长距离,而且傍晚结束得也迟,所以在行程上并不落后。佛蒙特州的"长小道",处于一种特殊的地质构造上,地表有很丰厚的土壤覆盖 ,且多为细状,或腐质的泥土。由於小道长期使用,表面形成低洼的槽型,下雨后容易积水,而且非常不易排出。昨天的大雨使得小道非常的难走,我很多时候无法越过大一点的泥潭,必须要绕道行走。更可恶的是这小道经过好几个湿地,和湖泊。那里面的水积蓄太多,都溢满出来了。原来不错的,木板条铺设的小道全部被沉浸在好几英寸的水里,我不得不穿着鞋走过去,反正也已经湿透了。长时间的将脚浸泡在水里,使得皮肤变得软。鞋子和袜子受水后,体积变大,加上我仍穿着两层的袜子,一个缺智的决定。因为以上几个原因,我脚皮肤被磨破的机率大大地增加,而自己却没能及时地预见到。一路上几乎没有任何的观景点,一直都在茂密的林子里行走。经过一个大爬坡,我最终来到了Goddard Shelter,一个海拔高度3,540英尺的山坡上。这是我从美国南部地区过来露宿的最高的一座山峰,已经好几个月了。里面有许多往南行走的人,包括一些加拿大来的徒步者。我与他们聊了半天,并在那里吃了晚饭。。因感到今晚在棚里宿营太拥挤了些,我就在附近的林子了找了一片空地,搭起帐篷。 一个父女的搭伴也来到此地,在林子里象我一样。我犯了大错误,将我的帐篷设置在一个小浅沟上,一厢情愿地晚上不要下雨,人太累又不去反复思考一下,但结果恰恰相反。第二天早上发现帐篷里面的脚一端全是积水,衣服,睡袋,睡垫全部潮了。幸亏我带的是化纤的睡袋,问还不太严重。当天的路程及宿营地点。 2009年8月23日当日起点 Goddard Shelter, VT LT M.P. 24.4当日终点 Story Spring Shelter, VT LT M.P. 33.3里程数 8.9 英哩 (14.3 公里)天气 阴天到大雨爬上Glastenbury Mountain并不困难,但我脚上开始觉得很疼痛。山顶的一个旧的森林火灾了望塔已经没有观察员了。我去过不少有了望塔的山顶,只有一次遇见个了望员,并与他聊了一会儿,知道当代的无线电话通讯与卫星观测技术发展很快,靠人工来报警即慢又不准确,又费人工,所以大部分已经废除了。Glastenbury Mountain山顶的火灾了望塔。下Glastenbury Mountain给我一身中第一次这样的感觉,我是象走在一个完全绿色的世界里。树叶,树皮,地表,石头都被绿色所包围与覆盖。小道的表面高低不平,很粗糙,我要用脚掌来掌握好平衡。 这样就造成前脚掌的应力过分集中,给已经感染的破损伤口,主要在脚趾之间和底下,带来了巨大的疼痛。我在临近中午十分,实在无法忍受,似乎意识到一个原因所在,将里面的一层袜子脱掉,好减轻一下挤压的感觉。此时天从阴天转为零星小雨,并逐渐加大。我穿上雨衣,在雨里走了一刻钟,到了Story Spring Shelter。我估计雨还要再下,不愿拖着带伤的脚,让其继续恶化, 决定今天到此为止。我在棚子里见到了一个阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包徒步者,Beam Man, 正在休整。他说他在康乃迪克州Salisbury的一家客栈里见过我。 我当时正发烧严重,没有留意过往的客人。另外我昨晚见到那两个父女搭档,不久又出现了。我原本不知道他们为父女,有点岁数差,觉得有点奇怪,羡慕那男的有桃花运气,但经那男的一说才明白。他们是从Grafton, Maine来的。他跟我将说了在缅因州州徒步的经历和所花的时间,给了我一些思想准备。北边的记为我今天的营地。下面的是昨天的, 因为我北行。下午又陆续来了些背包徒步者,一个阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包徒步者今晚与我共用这个避难所。另外一帮哈佛大学的新生也来凑热闹,但觉得人多棚子里会太挤,就到附近露营去了。他们是参加一个新生辅导适应项目,用集体背包徒步的方式来完成,对我来说挺新鲜的,估计益处不少。下午一直在下大雨,到傍晚才停。我也睡了一个长的午觉。又是临近晚上九点时分,那两个阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包徒步,青年男女搭档出现在棚子里,我此时已经睡了好久了。但一般不成文的规矩是,晚上九点钟后到了营地,就不应该去棚子打扰了,而是睡在外面。理论上讲他们遵守规则,但也太靠近时限,一般人在棚子里七,八点钟就入睡了。他们与我说话,吃饭,弄了我好半天没能睡着。我在麻萨诸塞州的一个营地第一次碰见Tully,那个男生,可能大学才毕业,人挺随和的。当时我被千军万马的蚊子说包围,痛苦不堪,自己在外搭起帐篷。他又因为食物不够第二天要早点下山。看来年轻人不愿被琐事烦恼,计划不周是他们的特点之一。但同时这也体现出他们无忧无虑,尽情放松的生活态度。反正他们有身体的资本和足够的勇气,出来玩,何必象我操那么多心呢? 2009年8月24日当日起点 Story Spring Shelter, VT LT M.P. 33.3当日终点 Spruce Peak Shelter, VT LT M.P. 51.6里程数 18.3 英哩 (29.4 公里)天气 阴天到多云今天一开始的几个小时都是在相对较低的地方行走。可以想象那泥泞的小道给我带来的麻烦。四周的景色依然没有,只有无边无际的绿色树林。我穿过几个乡间公路,也见过一些人家,觉得倒是退休后隐居的好去处。爬Stratton Mountain需要不少的时间,上山的路上遇见一个女性阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包徒步者,聊了好一会儿,向日葵色板官方互祝走运。对她来讲还有更多的路程要走。北边的记为我今天的营地。今天我的脚情况更糟糕,不但很疼痛,而且还发出难闻的怪味。可能受潮后的鞋子与发炎的肌肤共同造成的。我经常要把脚趾向内卷起,避免接触到鞋底,以减轻疼痛。我行走得速度相当得缓慢。我昨天已经开始服用内服抗菌素,阿莫西林,以帮助减轻炎症。越往上走,越能看到高山地带的植被,整个小道的面貌也发生变化。我在山顶与见到一个女性木屋看护员。她扮演小道历史的讲解员,和环境提倡者的角色。我又遇见那两个父女搭档。我歇了一会儿,吃了点东西,因上面温度低,就赶紧下山了。Stratton Mountain的铭牌。其海拔高度3,936英尺(1,200米)。左边便是个旧的火灾了望塔。Stratton Mountain山顶的解说牌,象历史,注意事项,地图等。我在山顶的小歇处。Stratton Mountain山顶的小木屋。住着Green Mountain Club的专职看护员,主要是向大众讲解"长小道"的历史,平时的作业,注意事项,和积极推广环保的观念等。下到Stratton Mountain山下,在湖边遇到又一个父女搭档的背包客。这次他们是从新墨西哥州来的。因家庭闹纠纷,那男的还随身携带许多家庭里的私人文件,准备在法庭上使用。他的小女儿爱画画,他就不停地拿给我看。可我却急得赶路呢! 我在山顶见到的来自缅因州的那对父女搭档正在对面的湖边营地晾晒潮湿的装备,而我因脚疼,走得慢,不想丧失时间。我在下一个避难所附近给一个在Manchester Center的私人客栈的主人打了个电话,预定了一间房间,好明天住进。奇怪,在山里居然还有手机信号!下午的大半行程相对容易,但我脚却疼得麻木了。来到距通往Manchester Center的公路不远的Spruce Peak Shelter, 里面有个来自波士顿的徒步老者。知道我的脚伤后给了我一些水泡帖片。 但我又还给他,我的情况更严重,不是水泡问,而是感染发炎。我感到自己得头上有点发热,估计是发炎引起的低烧。那对来自缅因州州的父女搭档又来到此地,依照他们的传统,在附近的林子里搭营。向日葵色板官方三次见面,似乎已经成为好朋友了。他们告诉我他们的食品储备多,明天继续往前赶路。而我明天却要到城市里去。向日葵色板官方在傍晚时相互问候道别。我谢谢他们给我提供的缅因州州徒步信息,因为那里有一段很艰难。2009年8月25日当日起点 Spruce Peak Shelter, VT LT M.P. 51.6当日终点 Rt. 11/30, to Manchester Center, VT LT M.P. 54.4里程数 2.8 英哩 (4.5 公里)天气 多云到晴昨晚避难所里又来了一批年轻人,睡觉时倒挺安静的。我早早离开,想尽早地进城,好好地休整一下。花了一个多小时,我就来到佛蒙特州Rt. 11/30公路。没有十分钟,一位驾着斯巴鲁的乡绅便把车子挺到路边。他一会儿对我说他的儿子在外徒步,也希望能搭乘到别人的车。我住在Manchester Center的Sutton Place。这家客栈为私人的住宅,上面二楼的几间卧室全部改装为客房。我选了一间最小的,也是最便宜的。但绝对值上却相当的贵,因为这个州是个旅游业的州。这个城市为典型消费型的,有众多名牌向日葵视频色版下载促销店,而在冬季又是滑雪的好去处。我今天的路程。左边为Manchester Center。Sutton Place前的一条街。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。名牌向日葵视频色版下载销售区。名牌向日葵视频色版下载销售区。左边街对面为洗衣房。 右边是名牌向日葵视频色版下载销售区。左边为洗衣房。我在洗衣的时候,洗衣房旁边一个甜面包圈店。我在里面简单吃了早点,问掌柜的哪里有好的餐馆。那人告诉我不远处的这家餐馆。我点了一份牛排,吃的时候发现,做的太老了,底下都烤焦了,很失望,但还是给了那向日葵视频色板APP官网员,一位退休妇女小费。从第一家餐馆出来。当地的商业中心。我在右边那家超市,Price Chopper里买了食品,我事先知道可以问其经理能否享受与当地持会员卡人同样的折价,有点出乎我的意外,他们很爽快地同意了。这个城市里有几个户外用品商店。一家大的就在画面右边, Eastern Mountain Sports.我的头像,十分的疲惫,和被脚病所困扰。食品超市。一家中国餐馆。我在一个多小时内又吃了一顿午饭。附近的一座高山。想爬山的人,住在这地方不错,四周都有高山。买完食品,往回走去。今天晚上我来到此家餐馆,叫了份牛排与大西洋龙虾,那里的色拉菜为尽管吃。味道比中午吃的牛排要好多了。向日葵视频色板APP官网生小姐又热情漂亮,钱多花一点也挺值的。但这个量对我来说根本不够。商业街旁的景色。商业街旁的景色。商业街上貌似住宅,但却为名牌商店。注意基督教堂前立柱上的中文。2009年8月26日当日起点 Rt. 11/30, to Manchester Center, VT LT M.P. 54.4当日终点 Baker Peak, VT LT M.P. 66.8 (+-)里程数 12.4 英哩 (20.0 公里)天气 多云到小雨,转晴我想早点回到小道上去,放弃了在街头等搭免费车的概念。所以我昨天回来客栈后便于当地的一个出租车联系好,今早送我回小道。那个司机是个意大利移民,娶了泰国的女人,最后明白着向我要小费。通常我是给一点。但只有他以为背包徒步者都是下层人物,年轻人,不懂规矩,先明讲。我感觉到金钱味,很粗俗。个人旅途时间充裕的话,还是搭车的好,至少能帮助省点钱。今天我所走的路线。一进入小道不久就遇到前天晚上在Spruce Peak Shelter里碰见的来自波士顿的老者,看样子太累了,打算回家。Bromley Mt.是个滑雪场地。昨天还是个大晴天,可现正乌云密布,似乎又要下雨了。山顶附近的雪道。山顶上的缆车终点。山顶处为滑雪者提供的避难处。我在那儿避风处,小歇了一会。山顶附近的雪道。 山顶附近的雪道。我肯定这地方为私人拥有。Green Mountain Club与私人地皮拥有者达成协议,让徒步者无偿通行使用。快要走下山顶。注意那石柱上的识,阿帕拉契亚小道,向北。此处"长小道"依然与阿帕拉契亚小道共用一条线路。从Bromley Mt.下来前,前方天空的乌云。可能又是一个下雨天。下午两,三点钟的时候,天开始下起雨来了。我的脚昨天得到一个喘气的机会,加上我买了外用粉状消炎药,有好转的趋势,因此不想因受潮,再次将病情恶化。因离下一个避难所还远,我就开始琢磨在林子里找一片稍微平整的地方搭营露宿。二十多分钟后,终于找到了一个。没办法,山上地势崎岖,那地方距小道只有五,六米远。我才进帐篷,雨就下大了,侥幸逃过弄湿脚的厄运。我睡了个午觉,醒来没多久,听到外面的脚步声,便问谁在那里。那人回答我说他是Tully,一个我已经碰到过好几次的阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包客。我撩开帐篷,与他简短地讲了我的情况。他祝我病情早日恢复,并以后在另一个网络,他的日志里专门提到这个情节。天到傍晚的时候,天开始变得晴朗了。我的心稍微得到了些安慰。今天相对有更多的时间恢复,脚的病情肯定会好转,明天我就可以做更长距离。2009年8月27日当日起点 Baker Peak, VT LT M.P. 66.8 (+-)当日终点 Clarendon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 87.8里程数 21.0 英哩 (33.8 公里)天气 晴我今天脚上的感觉要比前几天好多了,用药和休息都促进了它们的康复。而我在体力上又借此恢复了不少。天气晴朗,小道上的积水消失得更快。我一路"飞奔",想把前几天失去的时间给找回来。我今天的路程。我一大早从林中的营地起来,便来到Baker Peak。从上面可以看到山谷里的公路。实际上我昨天下午至晚上都能听见车辆的马达声。可惜,我拍的照片都曝光不足,对面山谷无法重现。途中的一条小溪。我想这是叫Big Branch溪。过Big Branch溪时的一座悬索桥,及小道指示牌。Little Rock Pond的景色。湖边高低不平的路面又一次地提醒了我的脚伤。Little Rock Pond Tenting Area看护员的营地。他们被Green Mountain Club所雇佣,照理这里的露营事宜。因为这里的使用率高,背包徒步者想搭帐篷的话,一定要到规定的平台去,而且要向看护人员缴费,大概吧!Little Rock Pond的另一端。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型,都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型,都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型,都是背包徒步者的杰作。在此,我碰见一个阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包客。大家寒喧了几句,互祝走运。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型,都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型,都是背包徒步者的杰作。昨天晚上露营地对面山谷向北的延伸。下面山谷里的机场是Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport。 Clarendon Gorge,Clarendon峡谷的下游。 它只是一个小峡谷。Clarendon峡谷的上游。我站在Clarendon峡谷的悬索桥上。美国有些大众娱乐的场所,基础设施惊人的好。佛蒙特州Rt. 103公路旁的一片草地。可见阿帕拉契亚小道的木质记,"A"字底下加个尾巴。这里要爬个相当陡峭的乱石堆。在这个时节,因气温高,我爬得慢,还被蚊子咬了不少口。Clarendon Shelter离这里已经不远了,一个小时不到的路程。我才到那避难所,就看见分别几天的阿帕拉契亚小道北行背包徒步者,Beam Man,和另两个人从旁走来。他们比我要快两天,正利用当地客栈的车辆,送他们作轻装徒步呢! 我安顿得比较早,在吃过完饭后不久,那个昨天傍晚在路边见到的Tully也来到了这个避难所。只不过他想休息一下,吃点东西,看好地图,然后继续上路。他可能在寻找一个非"官方"的捷径,因为这里人类开发的早,到处都有小径或道路。今晚我感到气温在下降,季节到了。2009年8月28日当日起点 Clarendon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 87.8当日终点 Rt. 4, to Rutland, VT LT M.P. 104.2里程数 16.4 英哩 (26.4 公里)天气 阴我上路后没多久就发现,小道的地理与我资料书上的不一样,而且沿途好长一段没有路。所以我心里一直嘀咕,此时每分体力都十分宝贵,就怕爬得冤枉。到了山顶后才发现那白色的记,于是松了一口大气。我下山后就碰到这个走失在护栏外的小母牛。因为小道非常泥泞,我不远睬到泥里,再弄湿脚,但又顾虑从其旁边走过会惊吓她,而把我给弄翻在地上。于是就想方设法与那母牛沟通,让她腾出个地方,和干脆走开。我不断地发出声音。起先她有点紧张,但很快地就明白了我的意思,知道我只想从旁的石头上经过,就朝着我的方向小跑过来,到我的身后去了。我大喜,感激她没有把我给弄倒在泥泞不堪的地上。([]

越南,如同一个远离尘嚣、背负巨大历史创痛的妇人,表情宁静贤淑,眉梢眼角流淌着淡淡的忧伤,举手投足间,却又不失曾经沧海的风情。越南是看风景的天堂,在它长长的“S”形国土上,随着纬度的变化,历历呈现迥然各异的个性与风韵。这里的人民质朴热情,这里的物产丰饶,曾经饱经战火的越南以其独到而内敛的魅力,重又脱胎换骨,成为今天的传奇。 ——8264tigerson-虎崽 一直想去越南看看,首先是因为向日葵色板官方这个年龄的人或许都有着某种难以言说的越南情结:我出生时,越南刚刚赶走了法国殖民者,我刚刚懂事,美国就发动了全面的侵越战争,在我最初的记忆中:当时的越南领导人胡志明和中国领导人毛-泽-东、周恩来就是铁哥们,而当时两个国家的关系那是比铁哥们还要铁。 按照毛-泽-东***的指示:七亿中国人民是越南人民的坚强后盾,辽阔的中国领土是越南人民的可靠后方。援越抗美成为中国人民政治生活中的重要事情。报纸上、电台中天天充斥着这个国家的战争消息。向日葵色板官方每个人都仿佛感受到,就是我们自己的亲生兄弟姐妹在那一片狭长的国土上与侵略者在进行着殊死搏斗。中国人民宁可自己饿着肚子也要支援越南人民的抗美斗争。 后来,亲如兄弟的胡志明、周恩来、毛-泽-东先后去世,在此期间,美国撤出了越南,中美关系开始正常化,越南统一……,没过几年,中越交恶,两个昔日亲如兄弟的**国家开始刀戎相见。一场有限战争断断续续打了十年。然后不打了,又开始和好,边关重新开放,互市贸易,边境清雷,很多中国人开始越过友谊关去探访那个不知道应当看成是朋友还是敌人的国家,看看这个长期关注的国家在经历百年战火后变成了什么样子——这些人中就有我的哥哥。 我哥哥上世纪90年代曾经两次去越南,他多次和我谈及在越南的所见所闻:下龙湾美丽的风光;河内漂亮的法国建筑,柔弱似水、坚韧如钢的越南姑娘,和中越两国两千年来剪不断,理还乱的复杂关系。 所有这些,都让我对这个邻国一直保持浓厚的兴趣。我早就想找机会踏上这一方国土,去亲眼看一看这个谜一样的国家。但一直到今年,这个愿望才得以实现。 今年的十一长假前后,我在越南呆了18天,从北到南,又从南到北,在下龙湾、顺化、会安、芽庄、大呖、美奈、西贡和河内都做了停留,亲身感受了这个经历了上世纪最长期最残酷战火硝烟的国家的浴火重生,亲自体验了那些历尽劫难后的人民的坚韧、善良和新生的年轻一代的美丽与热情,亲眼目睹了那一方热土上遍及城乡的美丽建筑和热带风情。所有这一切。都给我留下了极其深刻的印象。 这次出国旅游也颇有些小小的波折,一开始证日期就出了问,进入越南后在下龙湾就被宰了一刀,后来在去芽庄的车上和在西贡又两次被偷——真是有些祸不单行。不过我此行总体还是比较幸运:不仅一路上得到了许多人的热情帮助,而且老天爷也十分关照:在18天里,在尚在雨季的越南,我既没有遭受南亚的酷热,也几乎没有遭到恶劣的风雨天气,特别幸运的是在越南中部,我与在菲律宾、越南和老挝造成数百人死亡的强台风“凯萨娜”擦肩而过,幸运地躲过了一劫。 下面就把此次的经历向大家关心我的朋友们和广大驴友作详细汇报。 有位网名“流浪笨猪”的网友说到:一直很欣赏“读万卷书,行万里路”这句话,个人觉得行万里路更重要一些。如果你总在温暖的家里死读书,怎么能想像的出“野云万里无城郭,雨雪纷纷连大漠”是什么样子;“明月松间照,清泉石上流”是什么意境;“瀚海阑干百丈冰,愁云惨淡万里凝”是个什么景象。……要了解当地的民生和风土人情,就必须深入到民间去,在酒店和高级饭店里是看不见的。当然,有了丰富的知识储备,在旅行当中就是如虎添翼了。 对于“流浪笨猪”的观点,我相当赞成。过去,我曾经喜欢“读万卷书”,如今更喜欢“行万里路”。我特别喜欢那种在路上的感觉。近年来,我每年都要出一趟远门去旅游,今年,我把自己的远行目定在了越南。 8月初,我把自己的护照邮给在南宁的朋友小梁,请他在越南驻南宁领事馆替我办30天的旅游证。时间是从9月21日到10月20日。 现在,办越南的旅游证很方便,北京的越南大使馆和其驻广州和南宁的领事馆都可以办理。他们甚至为外地人提供了一种十分方便的服务,只要在网上下载相关表格填好,将表格、照片和有效期6个月以上的护照及相关费用寄过去,他们就可以在几个工作日后将好的护照通过快递邮寄给你。按说,有了这种向日葵视频色板APP官网,根本没必要再麻烦朋友。 可是,我从网友的经历中了解到:越南人办事经常马马虎虎,错日期、忘了盖章的事情时有发生,尽管这类事情的发生似乎是难以置信,但确实有人遇到了这样匪夷所思的事情。我不想自己摊上这样的倒楣事而耽误行程,所以宁可麻烦朋友,以求万一有问,能及时补救。好在我去越南会路过南宁,可以去朋友那里取好的护照。 尽管这种做法只是为了预防万一,这个万一还真的落到了我的头上。月底的时候,朋友来电话,跟我说,证下来了,但日期却成了9月1日到9月底,问我是否能提前出发?我告诉他,不行,我只能按原计划9月22日入境,9月底我不可能离开越南,必须改。打完电话,我心里暗骂越南领事馆办证的那个混蛋:不知道他那天吃错了哪味药,我证表上用黑体字打的那么清晰的日期他竟然能够看错。虽然朋友后来告诉我他找领事馆重新做了证。我还是很憋气,去越南一开始就出师不利,开门不顺。 虽然过去对越南多少有一些了解,可对于旅行来说,我的那一点点了解还仅仅是个皮毛。为了准备好这次的越南旅行,我认真看了许多网友的游记和网上的资料,突击学了几句越南话,还专门买了中国旅游出版社出版的《走遍全球》丛书中的《越南》。用过之后,我觉得这是一本很不错的旅游参考书,可算是一本背包族的旅行宝典,里面的内容很全面很详细又实用,不仅有对越南各旅游城市的景点介绍、旅游地图,还有不同档次的旅馆和美食及购物介绍。非常方便。 在经过了三个月的酝酿之后,9月18日,我踏上了前往越南的旅程。9月18日 沈阳出发,坐最便宜的车去济南 我的每一次旅行几乎都是从一张火车票开始的。我喜欢坐火车旅行,因为飞机虽然快捷方便,但那种点对点的空中飞跃总让我感到似乎缺少了某些环节。坐火车旅行可以让你更真实地感受,你的旅程是怎样一点点延伸,从你自己的城市最终到达目的地的。 我一向认为,旅游的魅力,不仅仅是体现在那些旅游地的风光景物中,更包含在整个过程的所有体验中,只要你有兴趣关注,你会发现很多有趣的事情。 18日晚上下班后,我回到家里,吃过晚饭,背起早已准备好的大包去沈阳北站。我要乘坐19点42分的火车先去济南,这趟车是从延吉开往青岛的1256次列车,因为在沈阳只是路过,所以没有买到卧铺票,其实这趟车在沈阳也不是没有卧铺,只是都让票贩子从后门倒走了。 一上车,好家伙,人山人海。车门口挤都挤不上去。看来大家都喜欢坐便宜车。 好不容易上了车,等开了车,我才开始一点点向车厢中间自己的座位移动,因为人太多,过道都被大包小包塞的满满的,移动每一步都十分费劲。好半天,我才移动到自己的57号座位坐下来。 原来上车前我还想,等上车后如果可能可以补一张卧铺票,这下子连动都不能动,想坐卧铺,看来根本没有希望了。没有卧铺,那就坐硬座,好在还有座号。坐一宿硬座也没什么了不起。我喜欢这种有刺激性的节目。过去读研究生时,因为很难买到卧铺,所以从沈阳和哈尔滨之间往返我总是乘坐硬板,有时候连座位都没有,不也是都挺过来了。还记得有一次从沈阳回哈尔滨,因为买的是无座票,人又很多,上车后挤在车厢里,动都不能动,脚下连两只脚都放不下,常常只能金鸡独立地一条腿着地,刚好因为急于上车,憋了一泡尿,原来想上车后再去厕所,这下子也甭想了。就这样一直站了近5个小时,到了长春,下了许多人,车厢才松快下来,赶快找个座坐下来,开车后又急忙去了趟厕所,一切方才OK。和那时比,现在有座坐,已经很不错了。 虽然现在年龄大了,和年轻时比不了,可偶尔熬夜坐一次硬板,我就觉得自己还像当年一样年轻和充满活力。 这趟车是沈阳到济南最便宜的一趟火车,硬座只要68元。省下钱正好到济南买烧鸡。 对面的一个穿白衣服的小女孩儿,是沈阳人,现在在山东大学读研究生,她毕业后工作了一年,然后又去读的研究生。关于毕业后去向,从工作自身考虑,她希望毕业留校当老师,而且山东大学本身也是很不错的的大学。可她不喜欢济南,觉得没有沈阳好,作为父母的独生女儿,她父母也希望她回沈阳工作。所以她很矛盾。这孩子长的娇小玲珑,很有亲和力,沟通能力很强,不一会儿就和同座的另外两个女孩子打得火热。 坐在白衣女孩旁边的是一个穿蓝衣服的小女孩儿,她也很有意思,其经历富有传奇色彩。她本来小学初中学习都很好,一直是班干部,还当过学习委员,可上初中时,迷上了乐器,再也不愿意读书,后来学拉二胡。初中没毕业十六七岁就下了海,跟着草台班子四处演出,在草台班子里,迷上了一个比她大7岁的吹萨克斯管的小帅哥,两个人开始谈恋爱,一谈就是6年,后来准备结婚。两个人经过多年打拼,很攒了一些钱,买了一套新房子,本来还准备买一辆汽车,可今年年初家在铁岭农村的老婆婆遇上了车祸,受了伤,她和男友回铁岭照顾受伤的婆婆,拿了很多钱给老婆婆治疗,老婆婆身体恢复后,他们俩又拿钱出来帮老婆婆翻盖了新房,这样孝顺懂事的儿媳妇真的是很难得,周围邻居们都夸老婆婆有福,老婆婆也非常得意。 现在是一切安排就绪,两个人方才离开铁岭。这女孩子年龄刚刚二十三岁,是典型的80后,看着她那样成熟,那样自信,那样孝顺,年纪轻轻就已经打拼出自己的一方事业天地和生存空间,我真是感到由衷地敬佩。联想到许许多多她的同龄人和一些年龄大她几岁的80后还在读书,还在为工作苦恼,还在靠老啃老,我真是感慨系之。 这女孩儿和我说,她的亲属中的哥哥姐姐们学习都很好,很多人都上了大学,春节回家时听他们讲述大学里丰富多彩的学习生活,她有时真的很羡慕。我和她说,其实真正值得羡慕的是她自己,能在这个年龄就自强自立,有如此丰富的人生阅历,这是更重要更宝贵的。23岁的孩子已经成熟自立,而她的同龄人还在依赖父母,这就是差距。人总是对没得到的东西更向往,其实,你向往的东西不一定是你真正需要的东西。 在她旁边穿豹皮花衣服的女孩儿是个90后,只有十七八岁,却长得人高马大。她打扮的有些轻浮,穿着超短裙,透明黑丝袜,带了很多假首饰,每个指甲都做了彩绘,一头染黄的的头发她说是花300多元一绺绺接起来的,初一看像个风尘女郎。不过一开口说话还是显露出一个十几岁女孩的单纯天真。 她家本来是甘肃那边,现在在青岛读书,是青岛一所大学的大二学生,人家给他介绍了一个在沈阳当兵的男朋友,这次是千里迢迢来会情郎。虽然甘肃是个贫困地区,可她家的情况似乎不错,所以这个女孩儿属于现在所说的那种”败家一族”,很善于花钱败家。和她同座的那个立事的女孩儿正好是相反的类型。不过听她的谈唠,这女孩儿人很善良,品质也不错。她身边的朋友都不看好他和沈阳当兵的这一段恋情,她却很认真。这次去看男朋友,彼此都很满意,临别时,男孩儿给她买了一大堆吃的东西,还把她送到车上。谈起对爱情的态度,与现在90后对很多事情不以为然的态度相反,她把爱情和承诺看得很重,表示既然有缘分到了一起,无论有什么困难坎坷和磨难都应当忠贞不渝,这种态度让我对这个看起来很轻浮的小女孩儿不由得刮目相看。9月19日 济南一日游 上午10点,火车顺利到达济南东站。济南正在下牛毛细雨。 在济南东站,我顺利地买到了当天晚上从青岛开来直达南宁的1336次的卧铺票。 车票到手,心里踏实。 现在是上午10点20分,火车晚上10点21分开,我在济南可以停留12个小时。 济南这个城市我在1980年暑期来过,那一次是去南京参加暑期培训班,路过济南市,我中途下车,匆匆在这个著名的泉城游览了一番,先后去了千佛山、大明湖和趵突泉。本来还想去博物馆看看,但那天是星期天,博物馆不开馆,就没去成。 这次来到泉城,第一站就是去山东省博物馆。 乘公共汽车来到博物馆,领了张票,正好11点,我要存包,博物馆的工作人员说中午他们休息,没人看包。所以我只好背着大包游览。 省博内容不是很多,展示方式也很单一,很令人失望。 博物馆本来应当是最吸引人的地方,可很奇怪,中国的很多省级博物馆——包括向日葵色板官方辽宁的博物馆,让人看起来都是兴味索然。 没办法,商品社会,人们更关注那些可以创利的地方,文化建设这玩意儿,不当吃,不当喝,光投入,不产出,没有人有兴趣大规模投入和建设。 但对一个民族,一个国家,文化的影响其实是最为深远,最为悠久的东西。不知道向日葵色板官方的城市管理者,什么时候才能有精力和兴趣在这些方面花一点心思,多一点投入。 看完了博物馆,在路边买了几个馒头,一面吃,一面看街景。 改革开放和经济发展给城市建设注入了活力,一座座高楼大厦拔地而起,所有省会城市大楼都是鳞次栉比,一个比一个高大宏伟,一个比一个豪华奢侈。 转了一会儿,我走进一个小巷里寻找家庭旅馆,虽然我今天不在济南停留,但昨天在车上没休息好,今天得找个钟点房休息一下。 济南的家庭旅馆很怪,条件很一般,却每晚要30元钱,休息一下要20元,无论如何不降价,走了几家都是如此,我也没兴趣再理论,在一家睡了两个小时,感觉好多了。 然后,把背包寄存到旅馆,出来继续逛泉城。 从旅馆的小巷出来就是泉城广场,泉城广场被称为济南市的“城市客厅”。很大很气派也很漂亮,据说是当年在山东任省委书记的吴官正倡导修建的。 不过我此时不想逛广场,我准备晚上再来这里慢慢观赏。 我感兴趣的是附近的舜井,这是泉城著名的七十二泉中的一个,据说很有点传奇色彩。 舜井所在的舜井街在泉城广场的东面,我来到广场的东侧,这里有一个大型的文化长廊,长廊内设有大舜、管仲、孔丘、孙武、墨翟、孟轲、诸葛亮、王羲之、贾思勰、李清照、戚继光、蒲松龄等12位山东名人的塑像。 齐鲁大地是中华文明昌盛之地,山东有这些文化名人撑腰,底气当然壮的很。 跨过广场东侧老城护城河上的一座漂亮的小桥,找到了舜井街,这里已经是一片瓦砾。在大楼环绕的一大片瓦砾中,我看到了古舜井和孤零零立在一边的舜井碑。 舜井有一个古老的传说:据古籍记载,大舜幼年时丧母,后母对他十分不好,自己生了儿子后就老想害死他。一次,后母和这个弟弟骗大舜到井下去淘井,然后落井下石,大舜幸得井下溶洞逃出,也因此发掘出一处甘泉,从此人称此井为舜井。 历史上舜井名气很大,曾列为金、明、清三代七十二名泉。有欧阳修作《舜泉诗》,苏轼书写立碑。曾巩赞曰:“山麓归耕谜故垄,井干余汲见飞泉。清涵广陌能成雨,冷侵平湖别有天。南狩一时成往事,重华千古似当年。更应此水无休歇,余泽人间世世传。” 舜井的井口一直挂着一条铁链,寓意“舜井锁蛟”。关于“舜井锁蛟”,也有一段古老传说。 相传大舜时代东海有一条“黑蛟”,名叫巫支祁。它朝思慕想要当天下首领,多次找舜提出要求被舜严厉拒绝。舜选大禹为首领。巫支祁怀恨在心,要报复舜,除掉禹。舜去世后,巫支祁全力以禹为敌。他令东海鱼鳖一起出动发大水,淹没村庄、淹没历山。大禹带领百姓日夜治水,曾三过家门而不入。他把无家可归的百姓转移到泰山、兴隆山、龙洞山上。大禹怀揣照妖镜,身带定海针,手挽降魔铁索,乘木伐在风浪中与巫支祁搏斗,他抛出降魔铁索,终于降伏了巫支祁,他把巫支祁锁在舜井里。巫支祁不甘心,瞪着两只怪眼问:“什么时候放我出来?”禹说:“等到铁树开花。” 过了若干年代,南山有一壮汉,砍了一担柴,挑到济南来卖,顺便到舜井看“黑蛟”。他不等放下柴担,就急忙往井里瞅,哪知这一瞅坏事了,猛听得“轰隆隆”、“哗啦啦”一阵响,一条“大黑蛟”从井里飞出,摇头摆尾直向东海飞去。 巫支祁怎么会跑呢?原来这个壮汉挑柴的扁担两头包着铁皮,砍的柴上,不光带有青青的叶子,还带着各种颜色的鲜花,巫支祁一看,认为是“铁树开花了”便挣断铁索飞出井外,逃回了东海。从此人们只看见舜井里有条铁索,却再也看不见“黑蛟”的踪影。 看过舜井,走出这片动迁场地。场地北面,就是省人大,著名的珍珠泉就在省人大院内。 我上次来济南,因为珍珠泉正在疏浚,没有看到,这次终于看到了。 这是一片很大的湖面,里面有很多锦鲤在游弋。岸边垂柳亭榭,确实很漂亮。可珍珠泉水汩汩涌出,气泡似珍珠的景象却没有看到。珍珠泉——已经名不副实。不过总算看到了。 从后门出省人大,转入曲水亭街,这是济南老城的著名古街。 老城街道自有其古色古韵,不过显得荒落破败。这些电线更煞风景。 拐角处有一个小摊,写着“济南名吃:欧阳油xuan”,看起来似乎不错,其实就是油饼,但做法有些特殊,以油和面,拉成条,裹入韭菜馅,团成剂子,擀成饼,先煎后烤。出炉后焦黄酥脆,香气扑鼻。 不过我现在不太饿,就继续前行。 小街尽头,就是泉城名胜大明湖,这里我30年前第一次来济南时游历过,“四面荷花三面柳,一城山色半城湖”的景象为我留下的印象颇深。 今天时间有限,我顾不上进去重游,就返身来到济南的小吃一条街——芙蓉街。 首先映入眼帘的是文庙,正在大规模重修。 芙蓉街因芙蓉泉而得名。济南网友风铃草这样介绍这条街和这个泉: 城中有条市井味道浓浓的老街,似乎让人能触摸到城市温厚的脉搏。行走于芙蓉街,便有种回归的温馨。即使我没有生于斯长于斯,但置其中,我这个“移民”同样感受到古朴的市井滋味所散发出的温情与生机。 芙蓉街是济南惟一一条明末清初时期形成的古商业街,它因街内有一芙蓉泉而得名。老街傍着繁华的泉城路,每每看了泉(街北有王府池子、大明湖;西有五龙潭、趵突泉;东有黑虎泉),逛了街,我总爱到这来享受美食,感受老街的风味。 还是风铃草这样写道: 老街因泉而得名,逛老街不看泉就少了感觉。 芙蓉泉位于芙蓉街69号居民院内,块石砌方尺,长10米,宽5米,深3米,池中间横跨一石桥,池北测立花岗石栏杆。清代诗人董芸曾寄居于此,并赋《芙蓉泉寓舍》诗云:老屋苍苔半亩居,石梁浮动上游鱼。一池新绿芙蓉水,矮几花阴坐著书。 可惜昔日的情景已无了,令人惜惋! 在芙蓉街街口有一组雕塑,是根据刘鹗《老残游记》里的第二回:“历山山下古帝遗踪,明湖湖边美人绝唱”里的那个精彩的画面设计的。 刘鹗可算是文字大师,硬是用一段普通的文字把著名的梨花大鼓艺人王小玉那高超的唱法绝技描绘的入木三分,惟妙惟肖,声情并茂。那段描写堪与白居易《琵琶行》中对琵琶女弹琴的描述相媲美。那段文字是这样写的: “王小玉便启朱唇,发皓齿,唱了几句书儿。声音初不甚大,只觉入耳有说不出来的妙境:五脏六腑里,像熨斗熨过,无一处不伏贴;三万六千个毛孔,像吃了人参果,无一个毛孔不畅快。唱了十数句之后,渐渐的越唱越高,忽然拔了一个尖儿,像一线钢丝抛入天际,不禁暗暗叫绝。 哪知她于那极高的地方,尚能回环转折。几转之后,又高一层,接连有三四叠,节节高起。恍如由傲来峰西面攀登泰山的景象:初看傲来峰削壁干仞,以为上与天通;及至翻到傲来峰顶,才见扇子崖更在傲来峰上;及至翻到扇子崖,又见南天门更在扇子崖上:愈翻愈险,愈险愈奇。那王小玉唱到极高的三四叠后,陡然一落,又极力骋其千回百折的精神,如一条飞蛇在黄山三十六峰半中腰里盘旋穿插。顷刻之间,周匝数遍。从此以后,愈唱愈低,愈低愈细,那声音渐渐的就听不见了 … …” 据介绍:梨花大鼓也称山东大鼓,它风格朴实,富有浓郁的乡土气息;曲调高昂,说、唱、道、白兼备;叙事抒情交融。传统书目很多,其中尤以说为主、唱为辅的中长篇见长。现流行的有《包公案》、《海公案》、《西厢记》等。在山东,又因刘鹗的精彩描述使这一民间唱法得以传扬。 济南正在筹办全运会,到处都在建设改造。不过粗粗看过来,济南整体给我的印象很失望,这样一个文化底蕴深厚的城市,文化色彩似乎不是很浓。而且城市建设也不够大气,凌乱,落后,杂乱无章,传统建筑和现代建筑混合在一起,缺少现代化都市的气派。而且,老建筑保存的不多,许多所谓的老建筑也都是新建的,缺少原来的古风古韵,新建筑和老建筑搭配的也不协调,感觉很差。 想起了诗圣杜甫在《陪李北海宴历下亭》中留下的”海右此亭古,济南名士多”的诗句,,不知道历下亭是否还屹立在大明湖中,但济南的名士们此时不知道都哪里去了。 晚上没事,回到泉城广场,一面欣赏广场夜色,一面就着鸡大腿喝啤酒,享受幸福的旅游生活。 晚上9点,我背起背包去火车站,在车站,又买了一只德州扒鸡和一瓶崂山啤酒。然后上车,奔赴南宁。9月20日 去南宁的火车上 天亮了,火车到达安徽阜阳,外面的景物没什么新奇,倒是车厢里的小胖小子非常活泼可爱,让人喜欢。 10点半左右,车过湖北黄州,这里是著名的黄冈中学所在地。这所百年老校有着深厚的历史积淀和文化底蕴,更以其奇高的高考升学率名闻天下。 出黄州站,铁路两旁,栽种了许多柳桃,柳桃花开的正艳,花红柳绿,煞是好看。 中午到了,享受我美妙的午餐——崂山啤酒和德州扒鸡。 山东德州扒鸡是三百年来历代相传的老品牌,在中国人眼里,它可以和“沟帮子烧鸡”“符离集烧鸡”“道口烧鸡”合称为中国的四大名鸡。 因为古城德州在历史上是京杭大运河的重要码头,素有“九达通衢,神京门户”之誉。来往的商人行旅经过德州,必然要品尝这独特风味的德州扒鸡,方便时更带上几只作为礼品赠送,乾隆年间,德州扒鸡更被列为山东贡品送入宫中供帝后及皇族们享用。从而使德州扒鸡名噪天下。 我所购买的这只五香脱骨扒鸡,按上面的介绍,最早创产于禹城,因其工艺独特、用料考究、肉烂脱骨、营养丰富等特点而远近闻名。 这上面还有一段有趣的记载,说是最早制作扒鸡的王明奎,祖辈皆以煮鸡为生,他家把杀好的鸡两腿交叉别入膛内,把两翅膀从鸡脖的刀口插入,让翅尖从嘴的两侧伸出,然后放上常用的佐料,曰“扒鸡”。后来,为招揽生意,他请一名老中医开了丁香、桂皮、花椒、大料、小茴香等5味调味品,煮出的扒鸡,大开胃口,那时叫作“五香扒鸡”。 有一年秋季的一天傍晚,他把20多只鸡煮在锅里,灶中多加劈柴,燃起火就去歇息,由于劳累,醒来时天已大亮,炖时大过,锅里的鸡塌了下去,一提鸡腿,骨肉分离。他哭笑不得,只好用铁笊篱小心地把鸡捞到篮子里提到县城去卖,并将煮烂的鸡取名叫“五香脱骨扒鸡”。在县衙门口叫喊了几声后,“脱骨”二字便引起众人注意,霎时间招来了许多食客。20多只鸡被一抢而光。 从此,他家煮鸡都长时间炖煮,直至脱骨,形成了独特的制作工艺。因此,禹城五香脱骨扒鸡便名声大振,南北驰名。 吃饭的功夫,火车走过长长的九江长江大桥,从湖北进入了江西。 九江是座历史名城,有许多重大事件在这里发生。这里有当年周瑜操练水兵的点将台,有当年宋江反诗的浔阳楼,有白居易任江州司马写下《琵琶行》的琵琶亭…… 城南的庐山和鄱阳湖,在近代史上更是发生了许许多多影响历史进程的重大事件,八一南昌起义曾在这里酝酿,蒋介石的抗战宣言曾在这里发布,1959年彭德怀和整个中国的命运在这里发生转折,还有1970年***和林彪的分裂在这里公开……太多太多。 1998年我第一次来到这里,就深深感受到历史的沉重。 九江站现在是个大工地,到处开肠破肚,估计建设完工后会非常漂亮。 这时我收到济南朋友的短信,说我非常幸运,因为就在我昨天游览完济南之后,今天的济南就是大雨瓢泼,水倾如注。我的确是非常幸运。每次出来玩时都是很幸运,希望这次好运也伴随着我。 过了九江,很快车到南昌,停车时,我走上站台放松,一股热浪扑面而来,真是到了南国了,空气湿热,足有30几度。这下子减肥有条件了。 南昌下一站是向塘,这里有一所江西服装学院,楼顶的大字向全世界宣示:这里是一所中国特色大学。这所1991年才建立的学校随着近20年来中国服装也的兴起,竟然成为一所非常受欢迎的学院,其学生专业性强,就业率高,甚至出了几位年薪数十万的高级技术人员,成为独特的中国现象。 很多人把坐火车长途旅行当作一件很遭罪的事情,但对我来说,这却是一种美好的享受。 窗外,是百看不厌的风景。9月21日 广西境内 早上9点半,车到桂林,我曾3次来这里,1990年暑期,更在桂林城南的市委党校呆了7-8天,桂林确实是一个美丽的地方,有机会我希望再来这里。 车到柳州,已经是下午1点多,古人希望“生在扬州,死在柳州”。“生在扬州”,是因为扬州自古是一个繁华的大城市,但清朝入关后曾在扬州屠城十日,使城市人口锐减,所以扬州人很注意小孩的保育。因此出生在扬州,童年时代是很幸福的。而“死在柳州”,则是因为柳州棺材质优工巧、饮誉全国,所以死后能得一付柳州棺材下葬自然心满意足。 在这里,棺材不仅不是不祥之物,反而因其与“官”“财”谐音而备受推崇。出门遇到抬棺材出殡不但不觉得晦气,反而认为是升官发财的预兆,用当地优质木头制作的方寸大小的小棺材甚至会被当成礼品赠送。这也是一个很奇特的风俗。 过了柳州,路边开始出现广西特有的奇特的喀斯特地貌,风景越发秀丽。 晚上5点,火车到达南宁,出站口竟然没人收票。 我走出车站,和我的朋友小梁联系,不巧,他的父亲昨天去世了,现在正在乡下处理丧事。他告诉我,晚上要晚些时候才能回到市内。 本来打算晚上要请他一起吃晚饭的,既然他不在城里,只好自己在市内遛跶。 车站西面的北大路正在施工,交通十分混乱。 在广西大学附近的长途汽车售票处我先购买了第二天早上720第一班去东兴市的班车车票。然后在附近吃了晚饭。 在街上闲逛了一气,已经是晚上8点多,小梁来电话说他已经往回赶,40分钟后到达市内,于是我也乘车赶往他居住的广西民族学院,在那里见到了这位结识许久却素未谋面的南国的朋友。 简单交流后,他把办好的护照交给我,因为时间太晚,他又父丧在身,于是匆匆告别,我乘坐晚上最后一趟公交车赶往江南长途客运站,在车站附近找了一家旅馆安顿下来,一夜无话。9月22日 从南宁到下龙湾挨宰的经历 早上6点起来,洗漱完毕,走出旅馆,准备坐7点20的大巴去东兴。 西部就是天亮的晚,快7点了,天还确黑。 车站门口有卖快餐的,是南宁市政府的阳光早餐工程,看起来不错。我在这里买了一杯热粥和一个面包。 走进车站,车站很豪华,很气派。 向日葵色板官方的大巴 大巴正点出发。天气晴好,南宁的民居很漂亮。不过我看不明白是不是统一开发建设的,因为同一栋楼,结构和颜色都不一样。 这是别墅区 和东北的黑土地不一样,这里是红色的土壤。 大巴在防城市略作停留快到东兴时,一个旅游度假区的大门口 10点15分,大巴到达东兴。从车站看出去,这里的房子更漂亮,也更有特点。后来,我在越南看到了大量的这种高高瘦瘦的漂亮房子。 车站里的提示牌,据说有人到这边旅游,因为没办护照,有人说能带他们过越南去玩。结果,带过去后,那些人就勾结越南的边防把他们扣住,说他们偷渡,然后勒索好几万块钱再放人。也有的勾结越方商店进行购物诈骗,这样的事情多了,公安局就出了这样的告示。 来到车站外面,有好多摩托仔过来拉客,因为我知道车站离口岸并不远,只有2公里左右,原来计划就是走着去,所以拒绝了摩托仔,背起大包向前走去。 其实,从车站到口岸也有市内公交车,很方便。这是公交车站的线路图 在一个陌生的城市,如果有时间,我更愿意自己走。今天东兴天气晴好,虽然温度稍高,有点晒,不过也就33度左右,感觉还可以忍受。天气晴好的好处是风景看起来很漂亮。 东兴作为一个边境小城,这些年借助边贸优势富了起来,所以城市建设的也很漂亮 这是东兴街心广场和周边建筑 东兴四周也有很多旅游景点,只是出国心切,我没功夫去游览了。 国门这里有一座大清国的界碑,立此存照 来到国门大厅,竟然要收10元钱门票钱,真是生财有道。门口收了10元钱,给了一张彩印门票,我接过来,还没看清楚,就被两步之外闸口处的人收走了。 出境必须先填写出入境登记表。可关口竟然连支笔都不给准备,真是让人无话可说。 但我早有准备,入关之前,为了填表,我特意把写字笔找了出来,可这时候,那支笔却说什么也找不到了,真是莫名其妙。好在我这次准备了两只笔,找出另一支笔,填写表格。 出入境表上都是越文和英文,很多人无所适从,只好让人代添,关口有许多人做这笔生意,有人请人填表甚至花了50元的高价,至少好像也要20元,我对此早有准备,在网上已经下载了相应表格填过,现在照猫画虎,添上即可。 走出中国海关大楼,就是横跨北仑河的友谊大桥,据说当年中越战争时,这个桥曾被炸得支离破碎,后被中方修复。界河桥上有一条白线,这就是国境线,对面就是越南的出入境大厅。 进入大厅,越南关口人员倒是很客气,也许是看我年龄较大,也没为难,还笑着教了我两句越南话。到了健康检查窗口,里面一个女的畏畏缩缩地拿出那个桔黄色的健康证问我有没有,我说,你们领事馆说已经不用了。她看我明白,知道没办法敲诈,就说那交一元钱吧,于是我交上一元钱,她又撕给我一张2000越南盾的收据(合人民币8角),于是到下一关,物品检查,门口那个越南兵翻了翻我的大包,问我,来旅游?我说,是的,来看看你们美丽的国家。于是,他停止检查,让我入关。 这样,2009年9月22日北京时间10点50分,我已经顺利入关,来到了越南的国土上。 在这里,我把手表拨慢一个小时,变成河内时间9点50分。 提醒要去的朋友越南入境表上三联,都必须填好,交给越南海关后,退回一联,要保存好,等回国出境时要查看,据说弄丢要被罚款!陆路需要,飞机不用! 海关外面就是越南的芒街,又有摩托仔过来拉客,我拒绝了他的纠缠,走了不到500米,就来到了芒街市中心邮局。 芒街原本只是个边陲小镇,归广宁省所辖下,属海宁县。中越战争期间,据说曾多次变为平地。中越建交之后,芒街就凭借着独特的地理位置,成了一个重要的贸易集散地,越南政府曾将芒街划为特别经济区,亨受特殊政策,并于1998年10月设市,但仍归广宁省管辖。现在芒街不仅是贸易集散地,也成了旅游集散地,经济自然更加繁荣了。 按照攻略,先到邮局对面找坐在那里的一排中年妇女换汇。我问一个换汇的老太太,什么汇率,她说2660,就是一元钱人民币换2660越南盾,我一听,这个汇率可以啊,因为来之前我在网上查询,汇率从来没超过2600,所以也没再讨价还价,先换了1000元人民币。 换完钱,手里一下子有了266万越南盾,这下子咱也成了百万富翁了。其实这个百万富翁也没有什么可以高兴,因为以后几天我发现,当你每天动辄就花掉十几万乃至几十万时,百万富翁也当不了几天。 手里有钱,心里不慌,下一步是按计划去找去下龙湾的车。后来我才搞清楚,一公里外的市里长途汽车站有很多去下龙湾的车,可当时我不知道,只知道在邮局对面的市场可以找到去下龙湾的车,我来到市场,看一个车上放着BAICHAY的牌子,我知道这就是去下龙湾的,问司机“包纽点”(多少钱),他告诉我150千(越南盾),我隐约记得芒街到下龙湾是50千越南盾,于是我说“来特呱”(太贵了),后来他要66千,我坚持50千,后来他同意了,于是我在越南人的漫天要价面前取得了第一回合的胜利。 在越南,长期以来,和向日葵色板官方当年没改革开放前一样,所有向日葵视频色板APP官网价格实行国人和外宾双轨制,外宾价格通常高出一倍,小贩和其他服务价格也是一样,漫天要价,高出1-2倍是最经常的行情。 这一点最让入境的外国人反感。因此去越南旅游,一个必须修炼的功夫就是在砍价上与当地人斗智斗勇,一不小心就要当冤大头。从芒街到下龙,180公里,我花了50千(不到20元,实在是太便宜了,以至于我砍价砍的都有些不好意思),可许多人都花了几十元,甚至100元人民币,因为刚到越南不懂行情,所以常常挨宰。([]
