《寻找贡嘎最佳摄影点的八天七夜》[一] 既然无法逃脱,那就让深夜在线福利视频走得更近一点!很多年以前,我第一次走在川西的大地上。新都桥傍晚的暮色中,我回头东望,赫然一排闪着银光的雪山漂浮在空中。我仍然记得,那时我恍惚的神情。后来,有人说,那就是贡嘎。那一年,是2007年。此后的每一年,那漂浮的雪山就一直萦绕着我。2008 年夏天的高尔寺垭口,我终于第一次把贡嘎的群山摄入了我的镜头。我清晰地记得,2008年夏天的早晨,高尔寺山垭口的晨雾中,远处那刺破苍穹的群峰。那一年,我知道,这就是贡嘎。2009年的夏天,川藏南线上留下了我十五天的足迹。这一年,我到了黑石山,找到了《中国国家地理》上那经典的贡嘎群山的摄影位置。《中国国家地理》的摄影师们给这里起了个神秘的名字:贡嘎黑石城。那一天,我也把云雾中的贡嘎群山收入了我的镜头。也就是在这一年,我对自己说:我要穿越贡嘎。也是在2009年,秋天。一次公差的机会让我重返了川西,我再一次来到了海螺沟,终于看到了蓝天下一览无余的贡嘎。可是,我至今仍然不知道,海螺沟冰川上的雪山是不是就是贡嘎的主峰?(查过一些资料,有说是,有说不是,希望8264上的高人给我一个明确的答案。)虽然在海螺沟看到的贡嘎是迄今为止我看到的最坦露的贡嘎,可我心不甘,毕竟那是海螺沟。2010年,我走了阿里大环线,贡嘎又一次留在了身后。记得在阿里的路上,我对我的朋友说:下一站是贡嘎。时间到了2011年,我却又一次把我一年中的唯一休假给了甘青川大环线,完成了我五年藏地的全部计划。可贡嘎,还是又一次虚无漂渺地漂浮在空中,漂浮在我的心头。所幸的是,2011年的十月金秋,在我甘青川大环线回来的三个月后,一个突然而至的机会完成了我多年的夙愿:拥抱贡嘎!五年以来,无论是在新都桥的暮色中,还是在塔公的草原;无论是在高尔寺山的垭口,还是在去居里寺的路上;无论是在二郎山的大渡河边,还是盘桓在剪子弯山;无论是在子梅垭口,还是在玉龙溪的泉华滩;145座5000米以上的雪峰簇拥着的贡嘎主峰,总会在你不经意间突然闯入你的视野。那种君临天下的气概,即便在几百公里之外,你都无法逃脱。既然是无法逃脱,那就让深夜在线福利视频走得更近一点! [二] 贡嘎的最佳摄影点既然是无法逃脱,那就让深夜在线福利视频走得更近一点!一直以来,磨房上墨汁的经典贡嘎让一批批的驴友朝圣般地走向贡嘎,我也不例外。但我更欣赏《中国国家地理》摄影师们的严谨,那一幅幅精美的照片和照片背后的故事促使我在金秋的十月背起了行囊。我要找寻他们的足迹。八天七夜的时间里,我列了个单子,妄想把贡嘎的最佳摄影点一网打尽。贡嘎的最佳摄影点:1、子梅垭口2、子梅垭口去子梅村的盘山路上3、贡嘎寺4、泉华滩5、玉龙溪垭口(雅哈垭口)6、黑石山7、高尔寺山垭口8、牛背山而这其中,黑石山和高尔寺山垭口拍摄的贡嘎群峰已收录在了我2009年的镜头中;牛背山虽然在近几年让许多摄友蜂拥而至,但毕竟云雾莫测又远距离于主峰,我不想让有限的时间白白浪费,所以,这次的行程,我选择了前面五个摄影点。[三] 八天七夜的行程设计尽管是十月,一个欣赏川西秋色和贡嘎主峰美好的季节,但出发前的天气让深夜在线福利视频忐忑不安,八天七夜的天气预报上尽是一个个阴沉的脸,这让我们的脸也一路阴沉沉的。为了确保能看到主峰,在行程的设计上,深夜在线福利视频是三过子梅垭口,并且在子梅垭口下山后,走玉龙溪到甲根坝,这样的好处就是在几天的行走日子里,贡嘎主峰会一直跟随着深夜在线福利视频。行程:D1新都桥D2新都桥—九龙D3九龙—伍须海—日鲁库草原—上木居—子梅垭口—上木居(一过子梅垭口看傍晚日照金山)D4上木居—子梅垭口—上子梅村—贡嘎寺(贡嘎主峰山脚)—上子梅村—子梅垭口—玉龙溪(早晨二过子梅垭口,傍晚三过子梅垭口)D5玉龙溪—泉华滩—玉龙溪垭口(雅哈垭口)—新都桥—康定D6康定—木格措—黄龙溪古镇D7黄龙溪古镇—成都D8成都宽窄子巷在以上的行程中,三过子梅垭口让我们终于看到了贡嘎那君临天下的气概和浩瀚的云海;而在泉华滩,深夜在线福利视频找到了中国国家地理摄影师拍摄并入选《中国国家地理 选美中国》贡嘎群峰的相片的位置,复制了一张几乎相同的相片。如果有人问我,八天七夜的日子里,哪些景色留下了最美的记忆?毫无疑问,那就是一路相随的贡嘎,尤其是在子梅垭口和垭口去上子梅村的盘山路上的贡嘎主峰以及泉华滩上拍摄的贡嘎群峰。当然,除了贡嘎,留给深夜在线福利视频美好印象的还有在新都桥遇到的川西今年的第一场暴雪、伍须海的惊艳和新都桥甲根坝的秋色。。。而深夜在线福利视频的故事,还得从第一晚新都桥不期而至的暴雪说起。。。 [四] 如果有一天,我老无所依,请把我埋藏在川西的秋天里故事暂且不表,先上几张沿途的PP解解馋。其实,到了新都桥的第一个晚上,川西下了一场暴雪,这也是川西今年的第一场大雪。这场暴雪是深夜在线福利视频事先没有预料到的,最深处居然有50CM厚度。当时,深夜在线福利视频都傻眼了,深夜在线福利视频甚至害怕被困在新都桥,甚至萌发了改变行程的想法,因为我们不确定我们的越野车是否能安全地抵达贡嘎。所幸深夜在线福利视频坚持了下来,而随后的一路美景让深夜在线福利视频语无伦次:川西的秋色掩映在冬雪之中,片片金色映衬着雪白的世界;而雪后的贡嘎是那么纯净,天是那么湛蓝。感谢川西的暴雪,让我们在秋天的季节里看到了冬天的景致,看到了雪后的蜀山之王。当然,随之得出的结论就是:草人,人品真好!在一路的美景中,同行的耗子情不自禁地高歌:如果有一天,我老无所依,请把我埋在春天里!高反,让我这兄弟已分不清是春天还是秋天了。可是,这是秋天还是冬天呢?我也不知道。我只知道,如果有一天,我老去,请把我埋藏在川西,那是一件幸福的事情。子梅垭口仰望贡嘎主峰子梅垭口到上子梅村的盘山路上的马帮和贡嘎主峰旗云、主峰和牦牛 旗云和主峰夕照下的贡嘎云海泉华滩——复制了一张中国国家地理摄影师拍摄的贡嘎群峰伍须海——惊艳的秋雾 伍须海—秋天的色彩伍须海—雾松伍须海的松萝伍须海—秋天的邀请 甲根坝的冬雪世界 楼上的二位大姐大。到底是谁不带谁去啊?西湖的甘青川与我们同一时间却与深夜在线福利视频背道而驰,之后又悠哉悠哉去了微笑的柬埔寨;茗禅在深夜在线福利视频去甘青川时又一次冒充强驴穿越莲花湖到了贡嘎;抛下吾等三只懒驴,只好乖乖地不拖大姐大们的后腿孤独地在贡嘎自恋一番。还有楼上的本色兄,阿里回来之后,老是想起他那机关枪一样的声音:ISO200,光圈11,暴光减一档。。。估计玛多的惊魂不能让他停止继续前进的脚步。最可气的是成都那二妮子,在康定时,我和达华给她们打电话想让她俩赏给深夜在线福利视频一杯成都的功夫茶以庆祝深夜在线福利视频胜利穿越贡嘎,没想到她们却跑到九寨去了,害得深夜在线福利视频只能在双流独自彷徨,达华甚至忧伤地唱起了:“哥哥找妹泪花流,不见阿妹心忧愁;一路一回头,只好流浪到双流;到了阿妹家门口,阿妹却在九寨沟”。沙德途中朋布西朋布西九龙秋色鸡丑山下人家,让我想起了亚丁和雨崩。日鲁库草原的水 云海光影中的达华贡嘎云海 藏族人家—拍摄于玉龙溪藏族妇女—拍摄于玉龙溪 泉华滩—拍摄贡嘎群峰的绝佳之处贡嘎寺。贡嘎寺是欣赏贡嘎主峰的最佳位置,可惜云雾遮掩。冰河的前端就是主峰的山脚,也是登山大本营。玉龙溪雅哈垭口的贡嘎 甲根坝的秋天新都桥—秋天的请柬 瓦泽—秋天的倒影 瓦泽—秋天的张力折多山木格措([]

GO 摩托 伪少年 从乌市回来已经有段时间了,一直忙于生计或无为的工作,反倒是热衷的旅行却有些淡忘了,其实也不是淡忘,只是无可奈何的耽搁罢了。现下总算有些闲情了,就把这次的摩托环旅发上来,顺便给后来者做一点点参考。本次摩托旅行共计14000公里,全程走完丹东起始至抚远东边境,抚远至额济纳北边境,额济纳至乌鲁木齐全程国道。期间伏暴雨,过草原,滚沙漠无境不有,当然,各种危险与乐趣也是并存的,恶犬,车祸,绝水之类更是常伴左右,此间不多说,待兄弟下文慢慢道来。 出发前言 小屁,是我的一辆机车。其实,我也无法分辨它的性别,按理说男人都喜欢自己的摩托是位凶猛的钢铁侠,能够无坚不摧,霸气十足。但我宁愿它是位可人的女子,因为我实在不愿意骑在一个男人身上太久了。小屁是前不久刚从一位兄弟那里接手的,自己从网上淘了点东西,把它稍微化了个妆,但却无法改动它的心脏,所以125cc的机车,拉到高速总有力有不逮的顿感,排气管还不时发出嘭嘭嘭的声音,我大怒之下就为它取名叫做小屁。因而我也不再想象它是个似水美女了,毕竟此名不雅。 说到小屁,我不由想起刚被我低价卖掉的上一任机车。就是那一辆不起眼的本田摩托陪着我征战了09年的西藏之旅,不论是波密的泥石山洪还是五道梁的冰风雪雨,它都把我安全地带出了困境。我的勇敢是赐于你的坚强,再见了浙D·RM483 再次纪念我的朋友,你的离去代表了我新的征程。 我一直认为自己是一个男人,喜欢所有男人喜欢的纵情与不羁,并且我愿意为之付出巨大的牺牲和承难,我是这样爱着自由的大地。| 她躯体的任意一个角落都是值得让人抚慰的,所以我总喜欢骑着一辆斑驳的机车,驰骋在她的躯体上,不辞辛劳地来回奔波。有些人就把这种叫做摩旅,我不置可否。因为我只是坐在同一个位置上,领略它的风情。虽然我从此有了日行千里的本事。 其实,我也都快老了,不论是青春还是苦涩都将离我而去,取而代之的不过是碌碌的生活,还有甚微的躁动,可这又将于我的回忆何意呢?那么,我就再走走吧。我,对,就是自己。GO吧,摩托,还有,伪少年! 夜宿洑东小镇 那一年,我说,当我跨上机车的时候,我知道,红旗飘起来了。不知为何,当事过境迁,我的血液里不知觉地少了那份激动。取而代之的竟然是深深的迷茫和无措。我逐渐驶离了绍兴,身后的一切好像都像流质的液体一样,我能感受到它从我心头点点滴滴的消失,这使我沉重!原来,我也会想家。 7月7日是自己出发的日子,这是我一早就想好了的。可我却没来由地乏味,直到7日凌晨才算把行装收拾妥贴。把特意从金华赶来为我践行的老哥也累的够呛。离开家已经快十一点了,没有人告别,女人也没有说话,临走前,我拎着帽子细细地看了她一眼,她似乎有些无动于衷,好像就跟往常一样,她对面的男人只是骑着摩托去附近的小球场转一圈就回来了。我的心也就这样安静下来了。 天还是燥热不安,一直到出了杭州城,空气才变得好受些。其实,在出发前的两天,我还认为会从福建一直南下再往西,这也算完成了我穿越湎越边界的梦想。但日头一天比一天猛烈,我只好选择北上内蒙再转战新藏了。 出了浙江界,宜兴地段的太湖公路显然更适宜骑行,不仅路面平整,晚落的太湖风也别有清新。此时,太湖面上已是雾如丝缕了。我择了一条小道,刚容一车通过,颤颤巍巍地往湖边上走。小道边上是一条小渠,大略是附近的村民开凿起来引水的。骑了没多久,我隐隐看到渠道的入口处有个东西在水里翻腾,再一看,居然是个人!我吓了一大跳,手头一哆嗦,死命地按了两声喇叭。水里的人听见动静,呼噜扎进了水里,我正迷惑着,这边小渠的边上就爬上了一个光着上身的小老头手里还拖着一蛇皮袋鼓鼓囊囊的东西。我好奇之极,便问他在做甚。小老头从爬上岸就一直在拖那袋东西,听我问话也不搭理我,背着东西就走了。我心想,这太湖人家也的确与众不同啊。我骑车往前刚走几步,看到坝上描着一行红漆:严禁挖掘芦笋。看来那小老头怕是被我抓了个现行啊。 到了洑东,天气已经微微暗下来了。宜兴也遥遥在望。于是准备找店家住下,在整个小镇悠转了一圈,只发现一家小超市上开了一个小旅馆。跟店家说了价格,便上楼去试看情况。人还没走进去就闻到一股浓重的异味,于是赶紧下楼撤退。这时,我有些后悔没在太湖边搭帐篷了,虽然湖水藻类横生,无法洗漱,但至少落得空气清新,还省却了费用。我正犹豫着,边上一位大妈就过来主动招呼我,说她家可以住人。我打量了一番,觉得大妈面慈目祥,理应不是坏人。再说,我也无财色可劫,就心安理得跟着大妈走了。到了大妈家才发现是一家非常小的副食品小店,斑驳的外墙,不起眼的小字,如果不是附近熟人,断定不会有外来的客人光顾。大妈告诉我说,早几年,洑东还是相当繁荣的,自从镇上的琉璃瓦厂倒闭了,人口也逐渐稀少了,现在连大集市也搬到另一个小镇上去了。大妈似乎很愤懑自己所住的地方成了这副光景,我心下也黯然,一城一池,繁芜终无定数啊。5631KG,离开绍兴中午累了,骑到路边的林子里休息了一会(遥控器就是好用,即使一个人,也照样拍的卡卡的)洑东小镇里的小店 夜营映山 此刻我拘居在这顶窄小的破帐篷里,一边打字一边问候着送我帐篷的兄弟。这该死的帐篷居然每一节帐杆的橡皮绳都是断的。这让我彻底丧失了修复它的决心,只好将就着把帐杆扣起来了事。 昨夜有些乏了,许久没有出门,身体和自己都有些忘记旅行的疲惫了。早晨醒来,不论是肩膀还是腰椎都酸疼的厉害,连左手也有些不得劲。勉强地从三楼把行包拎下来,再捆绑干净,已经是9点过了。临出发,大妈再三叮嘱我要注意安全,我感激地挥别离了我旅行中的第一个驿站。 一路上的风景乏善可陈,除了一层不变的火热,就是扬着一屁股灰尘的大货车。对于它们,我厌烦而恐惧,所以我想尽快地离开这一段有城市的旅程。这也是促使我放弃走东海岸线的原因之一。出了洑东,一路往北疾行,路上遇到几位摩托爱好者,狂飙着大排量的机车轰鸣而过,期间居然还有一位女的,我有些郁闷,骑着追了一段,最终还是放弃了。毕竟我只是骑着一辆125的小屁,上了80迈还不停地打盹放炮,着实令人恼火。 过了宜兴,日头越发猛烈了,40几度的地表把车垫烤的火热,我甚至能感觉到背上的汗液顺着股沟一直流到了内裤上,黏抓在皮肤上湿漉漉的让人愤怒。总算熬到了一家加油站,刚把车子停下,超市里冲出来一人,是个小胖妞。我以为她要来加油,连忙示意她说不用。但她还是径直冲到了我面前,一脸兴奋的。“骑车旅游的?”“嗯。”“一个人?”“啊。”于是小胖妞就露出一脸的羡慕。说。“你去哪呢?”“环游”“啥?”我一时不知该怎么解释,于是想用一个地名来答复她。想了想,就说去西藏。小胖妞果然兴起,瞅着我一个傻乐。我看着胖妞有趣,也来了话唠。就说。“怎么,想去?”小胖妞不假思索道,“那是”“那就去呗”我故作怂恿。“咋去,我又不会像你这样骑车。”“跟我走呗,我带你。”我有些不怀好意。“那怎么成,你一个男的,我……”小胖妞有些难为情。“那有什么关系,大家都是成年人,你说是吧?”我有些乐了。小胖妞听我这么一说,闹了个红脸,怏怏地回超市去了。没过多久,她又走出来,让我跟她回超市,说里面有空调,凉快。我自然求之不得,于是又在超市坐着跟几位大姐侃了会。不过小胖妞不知跑哪去了,待我走了也没再见到她。离开了宜兴地界,一直走过南京、滁州,除了在滁州寻买了一个读卡器,便再无停留。那样的城市和温度,对我早已没有了吸引力。临近傍晚,西边晚霞映染,道路却也变得多姿多彩了一些,只是路向偏西,太阳刚照在脸上,总觉得有些晃眼,一路慢走慢行倒也安全无虞。天色渐渐暗了。前方小城还相去甚远,于是我想着在路边按个帐篷,但由于上午下了雨,所以草地上到处都是坑坑洼洼的水汪子。正没辙,突然发现离马路不远的树林子里似乎有一个小庙宇。我大喜过望,急忙骑着车过去。到了近处才发现是一座废弃小砖房。门前已经长起半人高的杂草了,看来此处是久无人居了。我下车去查看,发现两扇铁门被铅丝箍的严严实实,除非用老虎钳否则根本没办法打开。我透过门缝向里一望,目之所及,到处都是散乱的袋子和垃圾,还有一个木椅子正端端正正地摆在房子的里屋门口。我突然感觉有些阴冷,脑中闪过一丝怪异的想法。于是急急忙忙退了出来。走到车边,又好好打量了一番这间房子。原来,刚才走的急,没发现此处附近没有一家民居,周围还特意的环绕了一圈柏树。我不知这是何意,不过,我也彻底打消了要破门而入,堂而居之的想法。太阳一落山,天就黑的特别快。我又骑着车行进了十几里地,前方就是明光城区了。可我被刚才的遭遇一折腾,心里还认准了今夜非露营不可。泥地、草坪肯定行不通,不仅潮湿,还寻不好一个取水的地方。我毫无目的地骑着车瞎转悠,经过一个叫映山的小村时,路边一盏昏暗的小灯吸引了我的注意。赶近处一看,果不其然,还真是一个学校。听见摩托车的突突声,门口的小房子里钻出来一对中年男女。他们见我拖着一车行李,插着个小旗,觉得非常惊讶。当我告诉他们说想在学校的操场上打个铺时,男女便爽快的同意了。学校并不大,甚至有些破落。搭好了帐篷,我去问门卫大哥,询问有无可以洗澡的地方。门卫大哥热情带我到教学楼后面的林子里。到了那里我才发现,所谓的洗澡居然就是拎着井水冲个凉而已。大哥说这里没有自来水,平时他们都是这样洗澡的。我倒也无所谓,反正打小也是这么过来的,乘着四下无人,痛痛快快脱光了衣服洗了澡。我只是好奇平时孩子们是怎么洗手的呢? 洗完澡刚回帐篷,大姐就过来问我吃饭没,要是不嫌弃就吃点,他们也刚吃完。出于礼貌,我就婉拒了她的好意。在帐篷里啃了中午留下的半块压缩饼干,觉得应该跟大哥大姐聊会天才对,于是拎着水瓶顺带着去装点水来。大姐很是热情,捧出半个大西瓜,三人就围坐在校门口的木头桌子上边吃边聊。大哥告诉我,前几年他们一家子都在永康打工,也是最近才回了老家。现在干看门的活一个月能赚个千把块,家里又种了点地,日子也算能过得下去。只是小女儿学习不太好,刚中考完,分数还进不了最差的普高,还得花上一笔钱才行。说到这,大哥脸上有了些忧虑。大姐倒是一副乐天的模样,一直笑呵呵的问东问西,我也说些旅途的趣事给他们听。我向他们打听明日该去的行程,他们也都不知道。其实这些地方离此地都很相近,只是他们除了生活的老家,还有曾经打过工的陌地,就从未出过远门了。出了宜兴,日头愈发猛烈了骑的乏了,就在路边小憩一会儿映山小学校的操场杂乱的操场几乎没有一块平整的地方,篮球架下算是有一小块水泥地可以扎营学校没有浴室,甚至连个可以遮掩的地方都没有,只好在树林子里打水冲了个凉开学时,大哥卖些小文具和零食以贴补家用。门卫室里只有一台没有有线电的电视。 第三天 不懂自己心一早,我还睡得迷迷糊糊,门卫大哥就过来喊我起床,说给我准备了早餐,吃完了好乘着凉快赶路。我虽然还想再赖一会,但肚子的确饿了,昨晚的半包压缩饼干早已消化的无影无踪。于是赶紧收帐、叠包、打捆、装车,连洗刷也比平时快了不少。只可惜,待我赶到门卫室时,大哥刚好外出,大姐也不在,只有他们的小女儿在收拾锅碗。我瞅了一眼桌子,上头还放着两份菜,显然是留着给我的。一盘是番茄炒蛋,鲜嫩的西红柿裹挟着几块金黄的鸡蛋片儿。还有一盘是咸菜炒肉丝,咸菜油亮油亮的,几条历历可数的肉丝也显得特别诱人。我暗暗吞了口唾沫,也不知该怎么开口说起这回事。小姑娘只管低着头捣鼓被挖的干干净净的电饭锅,既没说话,也没啥示意。我局促地站了会,只好在门口灌了两瓶热水,又问她要了张便条,给门卫大哥留了我的地址和联系方式,便骑车走了。一直出了江苏界,沿着微山湖往北就进入山东地界了。山东,是个颇有分量的省份,无论在哪方面都是行道的翘楚,就如一只蓄势待发的东北虎,虎视眈眈地紧盯沪江,直观近年来的趋势,大有你干不了老大那就我来的感觉。山东不像别的省份,很多的大镇小城或许你都没有听说过,但它的每一个城市每一个地方似乎都能让人有零星半点的记忆,更难能可贵的是它值得称道的肯定是景观或者文化,而并非别的。 只是山东不是我现在要走的,它已经够热闹的了,并不需要现在的我再去画蛇添足,该我去的,是那够寂寥的荒芜之地。到了晌午,因为睡眠不足,人开始恍惚起来。我在路边找了片林子,停好车后便在树上挂了吊床。这是出发前特意买的,是午睡防蛇的利器。不过,因为我太害怕蛇了,所以把吊床绑的高了一些。导致我爬上去的时候连摔了两次。一次摔得四脚朝天,一次摔了嘴啃泥。幸亏附近没蛇,要不然估计连蛇也要笑话我了。吊床晃晃悠悠的,树叶子还不时扇点凉风,再加上知了啊青蛙啊什么蜈蚣蚂蚁的大合唱,很快我就睡着了。没想到这一睡就是一个多小时。醒来一看,时间已经是下午三点了。照路程计算,今天是过不了泰安了。急急忙忙上了路,一路风驰电掣,眨眼间就早已几十公里之外了。都说山东汉子是爷们,大男子主义不可一世。原先,我倒不信。不过一路上的计划生育语,倒是让我对自己产生了怀疑。“关爱女孩,就是关爱民族的未来”,光是这条语,一路上就见了不下十次。我不知山东政府是不是因为要纠正重男轻女的思想,不过,在我看来,这条语倒是别有内涵。“未来”是什么,未来就是将来,就是将来的人。将来的人怎么来的,那就是女人生下来的。所以女孩长大了就是生未来的人的人。所以要保护和关爱会生孩子的人。那么到头来,女人好像真成了繁衍工具了?当然,这只是消遣而已。甭管他在生物系统上是雄性更具有主导地位还是雌性更具有决定权,反正在下一世,谁也不知道自己会不会变成另一个人。到泰安已经晚上八点了。泰安城早已灯火万家。找到青旅,把行装收拾干净,准备到外头吃点东西,却发现附近街上的小吃店都关了门。回到旅舍,大厅里有一帮男男女女在安排行程,又有几人在吹牛,说是这一遭走过了多少个城市,哪一个城市的美女最多,又吃了饕餮了多少美食。安排行程的,都在计划着怎么从南天门登顶,夜宿泰山之巅。大伙儿都很兴奋,似乎正要去完成一件伟大的壮举。我听听看看,忽然发现自己好像早已远离了这个群体,我依稀看到了五六年前的自己也曾这么憧憬每一次旅程。是我开始自闭了,还是我的旅途没人会懂? 虽说只是小小的五河县城,但依我看来却并不比江南的任何一座小城差。况且人家那还是蓝天碧水不说。睡吊床也是一门艺术啊,真是下床容易,上床难 第四天——淋雨早早的我收拾了行囊,逃也似的离开了青旅。我不知道怕什么,总感觉待在这里,它将会消磨了我的意志。而我往后的行程却需要足够的坚强与无畏。 早上醒来,身上的包又多了几个。可能是昨天午休时忘记了在背包上喷药水,使得不少虫子钻了进去。于是,它们便搭着我的车一路的咬,一路的笑,跟我一起来到了泰安。期间,还有不少个被我不断晃动的背包给压死了,到晚上脱衣服时,我才发现它们小小的黑瘦的尸体。在泰安城的铃木专卖店换了机油,听我说起要环游大边境,老板一个劲地表示佩服。我心下有些不以为然,既然都佩服我了,干啥子还不送壶机油哩,还收了我几十块钞票……在出城的路上,遇到了几位赶着驴车的老农。看见驴,我就远远的躲开了。我怕驴,这是有历史原因的。几年前,我与一重庆的哥们从日喀则回拉萨,路上遇到一头小驴子萌态可掬,便凑上去给它照相。可不知它是被激怒了还是被刺激了,一下就兴奋了起来。我一瞧,这动向不明啊。连忙给那兄弟打招呼,他还不知所以,正乐呵呵呵逗它玩。我就说,哎,哎,你瞧它那玩意儿。那兄弟一瞧,嘿,锤子!小驴子那东西嗖嗖嗖的涨了起来。我靠,两人心里一哆嗦,撒腿就跑。那小驴子见我俩窜开去,还得意地追了过来。幸亏这畜生被桩子给拴着,要不然我那跑不动的胖子兄弟准被那驴子给糟蹋了。驴这畜生,还真摸不透它是怎么想的,它是把那玩意当生殖器呢还是当武器?要是当生殖器,它是否把我俩给看错了对象。要是当武器呢,我看这驴准是被自己给踢了,普天下用这个当武器的我可是第一次见到啊。所以我有些害怕驴这动物,当它看上了你的时候,不管是要攻击你还是糟蹋你,都会举起它那威武的工具,让你颜面扫地。刚过济南黄河大桥,天就开始下雨。我在桥头的小店里坐了半晌。小店没有店家,只在门口放了把长椅子供路人歇息。我坐下没多久,一对弟兄也骑着摩托过来躲雨了。他们两个就自顾着玩手机,我闲着没事就抓苍蝇玩儿。耽搁了半来个小时,雨就停了。我又出发上路。没想到才到陵县,雨又开始大起来。我干脆找了家小店,准备吃点东西再走,这时已经是下午末时光景了。小店不大,店家卖的是羊杂汤还有一些鸡蛋饼和孜然饼之类。不过门口贴着一语,口气不小,曰:陵县第一家。不知道是陵县第一家口味呢,还是陵县路口第一家?我一时有些内急,想借店里的厕所一用,刚跨进门,差点就熏昏过去。厕所内脏乱不堪,阵阵异味扑面而来,更让人大倒胃口的是蹲坑旁边居然还排满了密密麻麻的啤酒瓶子。我没细看空瓶还是满瓶,胡乱洗了个手就急忙退出来。走到餐厅,店家的小孩已经把一碗羊杂和两块鸡蛋饼搁桌上了。我心想,都已经点了单了,不吃也浪费。俗话说不干不净吃了没病,出门在外能喂饱已经不错了。于是也不想其他,三下五去二,把粮食全部干完了事。只是雨一直不停地下着,从陵县之后的两百多公里,我就一直浸泡在裹满雨水的雨衣里。除了一只防水的鞋子没有进水,其他的,包括内裤都成哭泣的海洋。那个时候,我好像又回到了09年的波密。那时的318国道波密段被山洪冲垮了一个百来米长的缺口,路上堆满了泥石流留下的大小石头,上面又有山洪不停地泄下来。我骑着摩托车在东头望了半天,最终还是决定涉水而过。不然必须要等到武警把国道抢通,那时不知是多少天以后的事了,而318是波密进藏唯一的通道。当我骑着摩托到了水路中央的时候,不幸发生了,车轮子被地下的石头卡住,车身失去了平衡,连着人一起栽在了水里面。我一下子惊慌失措,扑腾着站起来,水刚好没过了腰际,而摩托车和背包却全部浸在了水里。我顾不得浑身冻得发冷,想要把车扶起来,可背包灌满了水压着后座,就像是把车子死死地钉在了水里面。我绝望的放弃了。我抬头看了看河对面的那个武警,他从开始就站在自己的那辆大卡车前看着我,既没有在我涉水之前喊停,也没有告诉我那个地方水会更浅一些。或者他的任务仅仅掌握动态向上级报告吗?我抬头看着他,他也望着我,那一脸漠然的模样至今也使我记得。于是,我放弃了向他求助。重新蹲下,把整个手臂环抱在摩托车的架子上,狠狠的把它立了起来。至此,我也明白了,有些时候,我只能靠自己,哪怕再绝望再无助,坚强才是最好的动力! 泡了一天的雨,到了晚上手开始胀痛晚间找了家旅馆住下。衣裤都是泥水,累的两腿发软也没劲儿再搓洗,只好胡乱挂在房间里。下楼,看到路边有家面馆,一时间,馋虫狂号! 第六天 从北京到山海关昨天从泊头到北京时,已经下午6时多了,一直过了廊坊雨才开始逐渐停下来,我被淋得狼狈不堪,只好把雨衣脱了,顺着廊坊到北京百十来地的风才勉强把衣服吹个半干。一晚上都在朋友的陪同下度过,期间热情暂且不表。到北京最主要的目的是更添一部分装备,除了重新置换一顶帐篷之外,还让朋友代购了一些当时没买到的蛇药、手术刀片、绷带之类,最重要的是借用了一台手持GPS,希望这能让我的旅程多一份保障。到山海关的路并没有想象中的好走。因为卢龙段102大翻修,一路上到处都是运载的货车,整个下午基本上都是在大货车中艰难的穿行。中间,还发生了一个小小的意外。离开玉田城不久,我就遇上了延绵几公里的堵车长龙,不用说漫天的灰尘弄的我灰头土脸,光是那些尾气也足以把人烤的外焦里嫩了。我越骑越心烦,于是就顺着大货车右侧的空隙,慢慢地开始超车。没想到,前方路边铺满了一层厚厚的沙土,我一时没注意,车轮子在沙地上一打滑,车子便晃晃悠悠地拐倒在地上。而此时离我几米开外的后方正好停着一辆运泥沙的大货车。我心下骇然,如果不是前面排起了队,还真不好说后果会怎么样了。有了这个教训,我特意的放慢了速度,毕竟,任何时候安全才是最重要的。山海关古城游客不多,甚至整条街上也见不到一个背包客。北大街上的几家客栈更是门可罗雀。我骑着车子转了一圈,看到有一家写着“学生公寓”的客栈,心想该是个实惠的去处。我问坐在门口逗狗的老板,家里有铺没,老板满口应承。很是热心地帮我把车推进了院子。院子还挺大,上下两层小楼,一溜的仿古装饰。待我拎着包进了房门,才发现里头其实就是个简易的小旅馆,这倒也罢,只是老板张口就要了100,说是只卖房不卖铺。我拎着包进退不是,想着车子都已经推到院子里来了,装备也拆了,再掉头走人就不合情理了。所以也便答应了。不过,不靠谱的是老板居然要了500块的押金。这小小的家庭旅馆,堪比五星啊。快十一点了,瞌睡虫慢慢开始侵蚀我的意识。该睡了……没玩没了的伪少年。明天,明天就要出关了。出了山海关,过了丹东,我的旅行才是真正的开始!整个古城都在卖这种花生糕,我嘴馋切了一小块,你大爷的,重量堪比切糕啊,而且硬的牙都快崩了。啃了两口,实在吃不了,扔了。 第七天 营口旅途中,最有意思的莫过于遇见形形色色的人了,不论他是否使你感动、忧伤、悲愤、快乐。只有不同的人的存在和交错,你才会觉得自己的存在。深夜在线福利视频都在一个城市生活的太久了,很多时候都忘记了世界不只有这么大,能看到的也不只有身边的生命,闻到的也不只有眼前的空气。羁绊太多,在我的意识里父辈的人们几乎都没有为自己活过,我不愿意像他们,虽然我也会有无穷的牵挂。我愿意自己就像一只葫芦岛苇丛里的海鸟,出海的时候一个人,回来的时候满屋子的温暖。这也是旅行的另一种意义。东北人很爽朗,不论男女都是一种天性。如果你找人问路,对方的神态动作有千百种,但语言态度只有一种,那就是逗得你乐。问这大爷。嗨,大爷,山海关咋走啊?大爷锄头在地上一杵,裂开嘴就喊道,你看,顺着这道,别拐弯,使劲儿砸就到了。问那大姐,嗨,大姐,东郭咋去呢?大姐把饺子皮面一捏把,拍拍手站在门口为我指路,看见没?照着这道一直往前走,第一道口往北一转,就往上干,一路别停歇。“砸”“干”“冲”,一个个毫不相干的词到了东北老乡的嘴里,却这般模样,实在令人莞尔。早晨醒的并不早,院子里没有什么声音,况且我也睡得沉。小院老板帮我把车子抬出门,递给我一支烟,两人就有一搭没一搭聊起天来。其实老板并不是当初想的那么财势,听他的说法也颇让人郁闷的。老板青岛人,刚好三十,也算是漂泊过来。在山海关租了个小院子,开了这家不大不小的客栈,平时也没什么生意,主要靠附近的高中学生在此借宿。老板告诉我,山海关这地儿生意不好做,当地政府政策不扶持也便罢了,最要不来的是各级部门三天两头来检查,一检查就得罚款,所以想要在此地做生意得先把这帮公仆喂饱了才成。难怪,昨晚上我在古城里转了一大圈,除了偶有几家本地人在卖那啃不动的花生糕,基本上都是关门大吉,没想到竟然是这种原因。听到这里,我心里不由对当地政府产生了鄙夷。所谓窥一斑而见全豹,一家小小客栈的老被尚且被折腾至此,更不用说其他了。老板唉声叹气,反倒羡慕起我来了,说是如能像我如此这般那倒当真不错。原来,老板为了能在本地安身立命,找了个当地姑娘,以便借用姑娘家的关系打点各种门道。我不由唏嘘,这货,为了挣俩钱,把身子都给搭进去了。出了绥中,我正停在路边照相,迎面骑过来两位自行车友。到了近前一看,带头的居然还是位大爷。一问才知道原来是网上颇有名气的大庆油人李兴德老人,李爷今年68了,从世纪初就开始接触自行车游行,目前总行程已超过三十万公里,可谓真真切切的老当益壮啊。李爷甚是热情,听说我要环游国境线,忍不住感叹,说骑着摩托车周游中国一直是他的梦想,希望有一天能与我一起同游。三人相谈甚欢,留了影,记了电话才挥手致别,我往北,他们往西。沿着海岸线,一路向东北进发,路边都是繁茂的芦苇田。虽然还看不见海,但那股子清新的味道早已扑面而来,我的心也随之清爽了。我见路边的芦苇荡子长得好看,就顺着小道一直往深处骑去,两边苇叶飒飒作响,不时还有咕噜咕噜的水鸟发出打盹儿的声音。我干脆弃了车,沿着小路徒步了一阵,看那无边无际的芦苇一直延伸开去,成片,翠绿,飘扬着,欢乐着,不知还要多久才能有个尽头……路上遇到许多载芦苇杆的车子,就像个背负着如山压力的老人路上遇见两位骑友了无尽头的芦苇荡子营口河大桥营口小城 第八天 丹东海滨公路 营口是座新城,如果只是从大街上走过,你会恍惚它是个大城。楼房虽然不高,但胜在道路宽敞。一入城,我就觉得这地儿比绍兴好,比绍兴亮堂。而到了第二天,我又觉得这地儿还是比不上绍兴,没绍兴实诚。其实,很多北方的小城,包括中西部的城镇,看似不错,基建也搞得像模像样,但毕竟城市基础放在哪儿,深入走一走,就发现那不过是白须儿的西瓜,它里头还没熟。因为在绍兴带的地图册是老版的,内容不是很详尽,所以第二天在图书城重新买了一本。又在肯德基买了个汉堡,一屁股坐在商场的大门口,就着凉水三下五去二把东西吃光,便又匆匆上路了。在计划中,我会在日落前,经过丹东然后到一个叫古楼子的小镇,可由于路上贪玩,便错过了时辰。到了晚间,沿海公路起了大雾,我穿着一件风衣还是被冻得发抖,到丹东城区已经是晚过九点了。丹东没有青年旅舍,在网络上却有一家小有名气的客栈。我吊着肚子按网上留下的地址,一路找寻,到了目的地一问,这兄弟早就卷铺盖不干了。我一肚子窝囊,只好随意在路边找了一家旅店住下。丹东最多的就是烤肉店了,无论在城市的哪条街都可以见到各种杂色的烤肉店名,那家叫王大胖子烤店,这家叫李小矮子烤店,你能想到的名它有,你想不到的名儿它也有,但家家都卖一种东西,那就是烤肉串。一整天了,我就在营口啃了一汉堡,早已饿的昏天暗地,也不及精挑细选,找了一家最近的,让老板各整俩牛羊串,再烧一鸡架子,最后下一碗粉。这就是我在丹东最好的食物了。不过,粉太辣,我挑了俩筷子就咽不下去了,只好浪费。 这一天虽然对不起肚子,但精神上的确非常愉悦。不用说出了盖州走盘山公路那种拉马式的快感,单是庄河至丹东那一段滨海公路,也够让我废寝忘食的了。海滨路上几乎没有什么行车,我摆足了架势把马力往上飙,可惜小屁这东西不争气,过了八十码就给掉链子,一顿一顿的活像被人卡着脖子赶路。我知道它性情,于是便不催促它,干脆慢下车来好好欣赏沿海美景,不时还窜上一码头,驻车远眺,当真是一份惬意无限啊。出了营口开始连续的盘山公路路边的瓜田里,几位妇人正在顶日劳作滨海公路附近的湖泊通往海滨公路的大道,笔直 停泊在码头整整齐齐的小船临近东海,视野变得宽阔起来天快黑了,我还在路上徘徊。是景太美,还是人太醉?海滨公路两侧矗着不少的风车,平添了几多韵味。太阳下的很快,没一会儿,天边余晖散尽,留下一片乏绿的天空,让人着迷到了丹东肚子饿得不行,在街边一排当要了一份米线和几个大串,没想到米线辣的不行,只好强忍着舔两口了事。串嘛味道还成,实在太饿了,再来十窜也不成问,就是有点小贵。 第九天 丹东备战 丹东,今天下雨,淅淅沥沥的,不是很大,却容易打湿路过的人。我这个远方的客人,没有特别的感觉,就如同闲逛家乡的某个小城一样,走过了它的每一条小街。 因为雨,也因为丹东是我整个东北边境线的最后一站城市,所以尽量在今天把需要的装备补充完整。在附近的超市买了些米和冰糖,又在街边的劳保店添了一个提包。只是找不到一个合适的油箱罐子,只能在路上再想办法了,如果实在不行,就只好拿饮料瓶子将就了。 下面是我的一部分装备,闲来无事就收拾收拾。求生装备:手持gps 步话机 钓鱼线 鞭炮 ** 工兵铲 强光手电能量装备:糖类 牛肉干 肉松 咖啡 维c求生装备、炊具:汽油炉头 锅子 驱虫剂 辣椒水 冷光棒主食装备:压缩饼干 米 肉肠 大蒜头 榨菜 萝卜头 第十天 雨中的丹东边境 从昨天开始,雨就没有停过。早晨起床,雨还是飘洒着。查看了天气预报,雨还得持续到明日才会停下。我已经在丹东城消耗了一天,思量不能再耽搁下去了,于是收拾了行装,出了城往东北方向赶去。 沿着鸭绿江一路骑行,很容易就可以望见河对岸的朝鲜民居。扫地的老大爷告诉我,丹东对岸就是朝鲜第二大城市新义州了,你也可以乘着船去江里转一圈,对岸的朝鲜人民也可以开着小船来这边转一圈,但都不允许上岸。如果你有兴趣,大可以花上点小钱,在满大街的旅行社里随便找一家,帮忙办个证,就可以名正言顺的随他们去平壤了。我对此倒有些意兴阑珊,最好是纯粹来旅游,口袋再揣上多点儿的钱,那到无妨一去。 丹东是繁华的,对于对岸的新义州百姓来说,甚至是富丽堂皇,虽然他们大部分人此生都没有机会见到这样的景象。要是晚间走在沿江大道上,左手是丹东的灯红酒绿,右手是新义州的冷色萧条,无怪人们都说朝鲜就是解放初期的中国。于此,我想身为中国人还是值得骄傲的。 如果是晴天,那顺着江岸走就更妙了。不用说青山绿水兰黛瓦,不用说碧波浩渺渔船家,光是那纯天然无污染的江风,它直入心扉,除尘驱污,由鼻入肺再贯三鼎,保管你元气大增。可惜今天是个雨天,我穿戴繁琐,头上又压着几斤重的头盔,的确无法感受。虽如此,但所谓山色空蒙雨亦奇,鸭绿江浮游的重重雾气也为单调的江水平添了几分魅惑。 到了一乡村,谓河口村,这里也有一座断桥,游客可以买票走到断桥头。整座桥被人为地卸走了几个墩子,也阻断了朝鲜与中国的通道。我想,会不会,对岸正有一位老人守望着这头的亲人呢? 我离开河口村,沿着边境小道继续往东北骑行。没走多远,路边竖着一广告牌,上曰:南有千岛湖,北有长丰库。敢情是在夸赞这里头的长丰水库呢。我站在岔道口,思忖再三,还是决定去看一看,既然都大老远跑这儿了,也不难为这几十公里的来回。于是便驱车往山里头赶去。路上有不少地方都泡着山洪,又有不少泥石路,我小心翼翼的走着,生怕又像上次那样栽在了水里头。往山里走了大约十几公里,我远远地望见了一座大坝,心想这就是长丰水库了吧,于是加足马力往山上冲。待车子冲上了山坡,我才发现这是水库的西边,除了一些泥沟沟,就剩下一小坛子水库的角落。我有些不甘心,便弃了车往边上的一座院子走去,可能到了院子的那头就可以看见水库的真面目了。没走几步,从里头窜出一解放军,喝道:站住!上哪儿去?我一见来了个兵,就说上前头看看水库。解放军说这是军事禁区,不让进。我没有办法只好怏怏地按着原路返回了。 顺着丹集公路往前走,离长甸还有几公里的时候,雨开始昏天暗地的往下泼,我心疼后座上的几个驮包。日用品虽然有防水袋包着,但一些没防水袋裹着的东西难免要被淋湿了。果然,到了长甸一加油站,我进去躲雨,才发现油箱包里的地图早已被浸了个透心凉。在加油站添了点汽油,又跟加油的大姐聊了会天,雨还是没停下来的意思,反而下的更加拼命了,似乎是存心跟赶路的人过不去。大姐见我淋得够呛,就劝我在长甸找家小旅店住下,待明日开晴再走不迟。我想了想,也觉得只好如此。 我骑着车绕着长甸转了一圈,只发现路边有三两家家庭旅店,一家叫随缘,一家叫平安,另一家我记不清了。我考虑了一下,认为出门在外平安是最重要的,于是就选择了这一家叫做平安的旅店。单间的房费倒也不贵,二十块钱还捎了个电视机,还挂着一小电扇。面积虽然小了点儿,但能在彷徨的时候找到个温温暖暖的落脚地儿,就相当满足了…… 第十天 雨中的丹东边境从昨天开始,雨就没有停过。早晨起床,雨还是飘洒着。查看了天气预报,雨还得持续到明日才会停下。我已经在丹东城消耗了一天,思量不能再耽搁下去了,于是收拾了行装,出了城往东北方向赶去。沿着鸭绿江一路骑行,很容易就可以望见河对岸的朝鲜民居。扫地的老大爷告诉我,丹东对岸就是朝鲜第二大城市新义州了,你也可以乘着船去江里转一圈,对岸的朝鲜人民也可以开着小船来这边转一圈,但都不允许上岸。如果你有兴趣,大可以花上点小钱,在满大街的旅行社里随便找一家,帮忙办个证,就可以名正言顺的随他们去平壤了。我对此倒有些意兴阑珊,最好是纯粹来旅游,口袋再揣上多点儿的钱,那到无妨一去。这里有两座桥一座是通往朝鲜中朝友谊大桥,另一座是断桥丹东是繁华的,对于对岸的新义州百姓来说,甚至是富丽堂皇,虽然他们大部分人此生都没有机会见到这样的景象。要是晚间走在沿江大道上,左手是丹东的灯红酒绿,右手是新义州的冷色萧条,无怪人们都说朝鲜就是解放初期的中国。于此,我想身为中国人还是值得骄傲的。如果是晴天,那顺着江岸走就更妙了。不用说青山绿水兰黛瓦,不用说碧波浩渺渔船家,光是那纯天然无污染的江风,它直入心扉,除尘驱污,由鼻入肺再贯三鼎,保管你元气大增。可惜今天是个雨天,我穿戴繁琐,头上又压着几斤重的头盔,的确无法感受。虽如此,但所谓山色空蒙雨亦奇,鸭绿江浮游的重重雾气也为单调的江水平添了几分魅惑。

尼泊尔,我每次怀着一颗激动热切的心而来,最终带着一个伤痕累累的胃离开。 这次也不例外,和朋友一起,重新走了一遍珠峰南坡大本营EBC徒步路线。然后以告别的心态,闲逛了加德满都、博卡拉。怀着对饭食的强烈厌倦,以及不适的肠胃,回到拉萨。 这已经是我第三次到尼泊尔了,还会有第四次吗?我不知道。新鲜感已经消失,物价在上涨,或许下次,我该换一个目的地了。 还是先简要列出一下行程:4月10-12日:北京-拉萨;4月13-15日:拉萨,等待证,闲逛;4月16-17日:拉萨-樟木-加德满都;4月18-30日:珠峰南坡EBC徒步13天;5月01-09日:加德满都-博卡拉闲逛;5月10-11日:加德满都-樟木-拉萨;5月11-18日:拉萨周边闲逛;5月19-21日:拉萨-北京。本帖计划分为五个部分:第一部分:去程:北京-拉萨-加德满都https//bbs.8264.com/thread-778436-1-1.html第二部分:珠峰EBC徒步之上半程:Lukla-Chhukhung-EBC:渐入佳境https//bbs.8264.com/thread-778436-6-1.html第三部分:珠峰EBC徒步之下半程:EBC-Gokyo-Lukla:风雪喜马拉雅https//bbs.8264.com/thread-778436-26-1.html第四部分:加德满都-博卡拉:告别之旅https//bbs.8264.com/thread-778436-54-1.html第五部分:拉萨的闲暇时光https//bbs.8264.com/thread-778436-70-1.html 所带装备:鞋子:La Sportiva sandstone徒步鞋1双;Teva凉鞋1双;背包:OSPREY 小鹰38升背包1个;强氧摄影胸包1个;强氧魔怪肩带挂包1个;强氧水壶包1个;内衣:patagonia C3排汗上衣2件,C3长裤1件;TNF短袖T恤一件;保暖层:TNF Windwall 防风抓绒1件;外衣:Marmot Driclime Jacket风衣1件;裤子:TNF快干裤、Columbia 两截式快干裤各1条;登山杖:LEKI makalu 登山杖2支;睡袋:2011版Expedition HW UL LCW400信封睡袋1个;其它:抓绒毛线帽1顶;防晒圆边帽1顶;头巾1条;太阳镜1副;徒步袜两双; Petzl Tikka Xp头灯1个;水壶1个;雨披1个;瑞士军dao1把;药品若干;护膝1对。相机:宾得K-X单反+腾龙18-200镜头。 在这里先替本次徒步的几件国产精品装备做个宣传。 首先是强氧的摄影胸包+魔怪挂包+水壶包,这三个包三位一体,成为我本次徒步中极有用的装备。 摄影胸包很好地保护了我的单反相机,还可以放下我的护照、钱包、相机卡、备用电池。 挂包则放下了我的小记事本、头灯、军dao、手机、MP3、纸巾。 水壶包则方便地容纳了我的水壶。 徒步过程中,挂包、水壶包很便捷地外挂在摄影胸包两侧,这三个包三位一体,通过摄影包的扣件组,与我的小鹰38背包相连,挂在胸前。这样我就可以很方便地取放相机、手机、水壶。 在不需要背小鹰背包的徒步过程中,利用摄影包附带的肩带,这三位一体包就成为我轻便的单肩背包。 如果你没有摄影胸包,魔怪挂包和水壶包还可以单独挂在肩带或者腰带上,方便取放,成为主力背包的有力补充。 另一件装备就是HW的2011版Expedition HW UL LCW400信封睡袋。 这个睡袋的好处是,重量轻,只有700克,但冲绒量达到了400克。压缩后的收纳体积为直径15CM×高度27CM,比我以前使用的抓绒睡袋只稍大一点,放进我的小鹰38睡袋仓内绰绰有余。温为0度,完全可以满足我三季活动的使用需要。 本次徒步过程中,几乎全程使用这条睡袋,除了有几个夜晚因海拔高(5千米左右)加上大雪,需要加盖毛毯之外,其它时间,完全满足了我的保暖要求。 信封式的结构,保证了宽大的睡眠空间。使用十几天下来,无明显钻绒。 个人感觉,这条睡袋很适合尼泊尔的成熟徒步路线,西藏阿里、川藏线等自驾,以及三季非恶劣条件下的户外扎营。轻巧的重量和收纳体积,轻便易携带,将成为我今后活动的主力睡袋。 好了,前言讲完,言归正传,首先还是从北京-拉萨的列车讲起。 第一部分:去程:北京-拉萨-加德满都 4月10日晚上8点,我和几个朋友一起,乘坐北京-拉萨的T27次列车,离开北京,开始了44个小时的火车之旅。这条路线已经走过多次,前半段风景乏乏,进入青海后,高原风光开始显现。 过了唐古拉山口,经那曲往南到当雄,远处天边,念青唐古拉山脉雪峰连绵,湿地上牦牛成群。 12日下午抵达拉萨后,深夜在线福利视频在平措对面的吉雪住下。同伴的证未办理完毕,还有一个朋友要到15号才能从北京飞过来会合。于是13号到15号这三天,深夜在线福利视频就在拉萨市内闲逛。逛拉萨,八廓街是不能不去的。围着大昭寺一圈,满街都是店铺。 虔诚的信徒们燃起了柏枝,香烟弥漫。 大昭寺门前,永远有来自各地磕长头的信徒。 正对着大昭寺门口的酥油灯房里,一排排酥油灯长明不灭。 深夜在线福利视频走到大昭寺后面的小巷里,走进一个院子。这里住着来自各地朝圣的信徒,很像北京的大杂院。 夜色下的布达拉宫,依旧庄严非凡。 清晨,深夜在线福利视频随着朝圣的人流,围绕布达拉宫顺时针转圈。山脚下一圈是长长的转经长廊,老艺人正在一丝不苟地修补转经筒。 从任何一个角度望去,布达拉宫都有着雄伟庄严的身姿。 穿过正门,深夜在线福利视频踏上台阶步梯,近距离接触布达拉宫的高耸雄伟。 阳光照耀洁白的外墙,蓝天上白云悠悠飘过。 购买门票后,深夜在线福利视频进入到第一层院内,这里还可以拍照。从右下方的楼梯进去后,就不许再拍照了。 布达拉宫内有很多佛像、经书、坛城等可看,在此就不细说了。最吸引游客参观的,当然还是历代达赖的灵塔,以及布达拉宫的镇宫之宝——帕巴拉康观音像,据传这尊木质观音像从公元7世纪流传至今,是由檀香木自然形成的菩萨造型,整尊佛像未经加工,仅是着色而成。 参观完布达拉宫,从后门出来,眺望阳光下的拉萨市容。沿着步道,深夜在线福利视频走下布达拉宫。 布达拉宫的北面,层层步道,凑拥着高高的宫殿。 眺望北边的拉萨市区,依稀可见远处山脚下的色拉寺。 16号清晨8点半,我和两个朋友一起,乘坐拉萨——樟木的班车,出发赶往樟木。 这趟班车是每周二、四、六从拉萨出发,在火车站旁边的柳梧客运站发车,票价296元,要当天晚上12点左右才能赶到樟木,还是比较辛苦的。现在拉萨至加德满都开了一趟国际大巴,但是每周只有一班,票价500多,感觉不划算。 出发后,车沿着拉萨河一路往西,过了曲水县后,本来应该沿着318国道,顺着雅鲁藏布江直奔日喀则。但是现在318国道修路,班车从曲水过江,经羊卓雍错、江孜,至日喀则。这样走路程比较绕一点,好处就是可以顺带观赏一下羊湖的美景。过江之后开始爬山,回望雅鲁藏布江河谷。 翻越5030米的岗巴拉山口,美得无与伦比的羊卓雍错出现在深夜在线福利视频面前。 羊卓雍错,简称羊湖,与纳木错、玛旁雍错并称西藏三大圣湖,面积678平方公里,湖面海拔4441米。远处天边,是海拔7206米的宁金抗沙峰,是西藏中部四大雪山之一。 我和朋友开玩笑说,羊湖可以取一个外号,叫“哇湖”,可能你已经来过好几次了,但是每次当你翻过岗巴拉山口,第一眼看到羊湖那魔幻般的蓝色,你仍然会情不自禁地“哇”出声来。 湖边的小小村庄,每天面对这样的美景,多么令人羡慕的生活。 湖面犹如蓝色绸缎,微风下泛起层层波纹。 白云朵朵,映照在湖面。 湖岸弯弯,远处雪峰连绵。 湖边的牧羊人。 ([]
〖前言〗2013年8月7日上午,肯尼亚首都内罗毕乔默-肯雅塔国际机场爆发大火,烧毁国际到达大厅,机场关闭。听闻这个消息时,深夜在线福利视频正在从安博塞利返回内罗比的路上。“既然机场关闭,深夜在线福利视频是不是可以晚回几天?正好可以再去一次马赛马拉!”得知这条坏消息,深夜在线福利视频的第一反应不是叹气,反倒有点幸灾乐祸。我们在马赛马拉只呆了三天,三天的时间,对于辽阔无边的马赛马拉草原来说哪里足够,只觉意犹未尽,诸多遗憾。8月8日,按原计划下午深夜在线福利视频就将搭乘阿联酋航空返国。但一大早便得知消息,国际机场当天依旧关闭。清静和飞翔开始与旅行社及保险公司联系,75忙着联系更便宜的酒店,因为十有八九深夜在线福利视频这天是无法离开了。走不了,但也去不了马赛马拉,因为正值马赛马拉的旺季,如果没有提前几个月预订住宿,根本是一房难求。午饭后,我们兵分两路:大部队去机场确认航班消息,我和蟋蟀头及75去希尔顿酒店预订当晚的住宿。因美亚保险认为机场火灾不在深夜在线福利视频的保险范围之内,保险公司拒不承担深夜在线福利视频滞留的任何费用,所以深夜在线福利视频得找便宜一点的住宿。对于深夜在线福利视频这类出行常住青旅或家庭旅馆的驴友来说,希尔顿这样的五星级酒店向来不在考虑之内。但,这是在内罗毕,深夜在线福利视频必须为自己选择一个安全的酒店。而安全,往往则意味着昂贵。在希尔顿订好住宿后,深夜在线福利视频三人赶到机场与大部队汇合。机场区的空气里依旧弥漫着一股浓烈的焦味,国际航班抵达区的建筑被浓烟熏黑,且部分坍塌。此情此景,惨不忍睹。对于深夜在线福利视频这些滞留的客人将如何处置,机场与阿联酋航空没有任何表态。深夜在线福利视频一无所获地离开机场,回到希尔顿。200美元/晚的住宿费,除了安全,深夜在线福利视频并没得到更多。房间又小又旧,似乎连如家也不如,晚餐的费用又高得离谱,大家再也没有玩的心情,只一门心思想着回去。8月9日,一大早check out后赶到机场,机场早已是人潮汹涌,混乱不堪。我们挤在一个小通道处,在长不到十米的通道排了两三个小时,才总算安检完进入check-in大厅。原以为进去后便诸事大吉,谁知那只是等待的开始。check-in大厅里早已挤得人满为患,但离开的人少,进来的人却在源源不断地增加。在阿联酋团队check-in的柜台前又排队两小时后,方得知阿联酋当天并没增加一个航班,这意味着7号8号未离开的旅客将继续滞留。满怀希望的人群一片哗然,开始躁动不安。阿联酋航空的工作人员站在柜台上讲话,让非当天机票的乘客离开,“NO!NO!”滞留的旅客,而且大多是中国游客,喊着统一的口号,表示抗议。这样的劝退与躁动发生几个回合后,驻内罗毕的中国大使馆人员赶到,人群爆发出一阵掌声,集体喊着“我们要回家!深夜在线福利视频要回家!”这样的场面我从未经历,有点震惊,也有点感动。大使馆参赞与各团队的领队交流后,又与阿联酋的工作人员沟通。但那晚,深夜在线福利视频的等待并没有一个好的结束。八月的内罗毕,晚上凉风习习。机场上已搭了两天的帐篷,依然还在搭建中,黑人兄弟的工作效率,实在不能令人恭维。深夜在线福利视频一群人站在机场的一块空地上,讨论深夜在线福利视频的何去何从。讨论没有结果,唯一确定的是,先回酒店休息。在机场耗了一整天,大家都累了,身心俱疲。所幸的是,8月10日一大早,阿联酋航空便来电,要深夜在线福利视频赶紧去机场。这一天,机场的秩序明显比前一天好很多,深夜在线福利视频顺利地办完值机、通关、安检,直至坐到帐篷搭成的临时候机大厅时,心里才安定许多。心安之余,回想肯尼亚的这十多天旅程,只觉内心五味杂陈。原以为可以在肯尼亚无污染的大草原上畅快呼吸,享受天然氧吧,谁知灰尘铺天盖地,大家都用口罩或头巾捂着脸,每天回到房间都是蓬头垢面。原以为可以在内罗毕穿街走巷,享受逛街乐趣,谁知内罗毕安全堪忧,因抢劫时常发生,深夜在线福利视频所停留的地方,除了餐厅,就是酒店。原以为只要在对的时节到了马赛马拉,每天都可以欣赏到角马过河的壮观场景,谁知这其实非常靠运气。但不得不承认,近距离看动物是多么美好的一件事。优雅的长颈鹿、温顺的斑马、性感的猎豹、稳重的大象、猥琐的鬣狗、霸气十足的狮子。。。当曾在动物园里才能看到的动物,忽然在我周围自由行走、奔跑,那感觉真是无以伦比的美妙。特别是当狮子情侣含情脉脉地对望时,那一刻,我的心瞬间被打动,化得如水一般温柔。当然,更多的故事,更多的细节,还是请与我一起,走进肯尼亚。 D1(7-29)上海——迪拜——内罗毕4点钟,天未亮,整个城市还在沉睡中,我俩便拎着行李从家里出发了,去浦东机场与朋友们汇合。深夜在线福利视频将搭乘715的航班,经迪拜转机前往肯尼亚的首都内罗毕。在这之前,我只睡了3个小时。待飞机准时起飞时,我已进入沉沉的睡梦中。在梦中,我似乎进入了时光隧道,去往另一个不同维度的空间。但的确,那是另一个不同的国度,位于赤道上的东非国家——肯尼亚。抵达时,深夜在线福利视频的时针将往回拨5个小时。时光倒流,在抵达肯尼亚的那一刻,梦想成真。 内罗毕国际机场,号称是东非最大、也最繁忙的机场,但在我们看来,小,且陈旧。繁忙却是真,当地时间傍晚19点过时,依然人流如潮,通关时,三四个关口处排着冗长的队伍。机场让人失望,但入住的酒店Crowne plaza却是当晚最大的惊喜了。出发之前,领队清静就说,肯尼亚的条件不太好, 即使五星级酒店,也不一定有wifi,也不保证有热水淋浴,千万不要用国内五星级酒店的准来衡量。所以,当深夜在线福利视频走进酒店,便有人递上热毛巾和芒果汁,有人主动帮忙搬送行李,再到走进房间,眼前一亮,打开手机,免费联上wifi时,激动之情便难以言喻了。只是,酒店禁止吸烟,不仅只是酒店大堂等公共区域,所有房间都禁止抽烟。烟瘾难耐的蟋蟀头不甘心,让我打电话到前台,询问何处可以抽烟。话筒那边的声音,礼貌且明确:请下楼,走出酒店大门。如此严格的禁烟,是深夜在线福利视频意想不到的,更意想不到的是,酒店居然在门口设有安检,所有的行李都必须通过安检。当时虽觉奇怪,却并不太为意,只是在后来的行程中,才渐渐明了其中的原因所在。 D2(7-30)内罗毕——马赛马拉 早餐后,深夜在线福利视频便径直驱车离开酒店,没有在内罗毕作任何停留,直接驶向马赛马拉。座落在使馆区的Crowne plaza,似乎位于市区之外,仅几分钟而已,深夜在线福利视频便已远离内罗毕,行驶在两边是乡村或镇子的公路上。而内罗毕的真实面貌,尚未见识。 我们团队20人,共租了六辆面包车,每辆车3-4人。我和蟋蟀头、龙之杰三人一辆。刚上车坐稳,蟋蟀头便要我和司机说,带深夜在线福利视频去买打火机。司机约瑟夫Joseph一口答应。一边开车,一边回过头说道:“no problem.” 刹车没踩,车速没减,还回过头来说话,他这个举动吓坏了我,赶紧说道:“别转头,别转头!”我的话音刚落,约瑟夫又把头转了回来,举着手里的香烟告诉深夜在线福利视频,“车里可以吸烟”。他这句话让蟋蟀头和龙之杰高兴不已,赶紧给约瑟夫递过去一支烟。因为,在这之前,深夜在线福利视频的导游再三告诫,肯尼亚很多地方不能随便吸烟,比如公共场所、草原、车上。但刚出发,就有这样的破例,两个烟鬼当然兴奋不已。他俩兴奋,我却有另外的担忧。约瑟夫开车时只要说话,必定回头,这习惯令我最初非常担心行驶的安全问。但实际上,我当然是多虑了。黑人司机的脑袋后面似乎还长了另一双眼睛似的,他们即使回头说话,也能灵活地与对面的车辆擦肩而过。 9点过,我们途中的第一次停车,杜导说,东非大裂谷到了。东非大裂谷,这条长度相当于地球周长1/6的大裂谷,是大陆上最大的断裂带。深陷的地沟,犹如地球的一道巨大伤疤。位于肯尼亚的裂谷,只是东非大裂谷的一部分。在裂谷地带,发现了距今已经有350万年的“能人”(从猿到人过渡阶段的人)遗骨,诸多考古发现证明东非大裂谷是人类文明最古老的发源地之一。在人类起源问上,很多科学家支持“非洲起源说”,即目前生活在世界各地的现代人类的祖先在大约20万年前起源于非洲,然后在距今10万年以内离开非洲,向亚洲和欧洲扩散。我们其实都是非洲后裔,你相信吗?maybe。但眼前的大裂谷,因为角度问,并不能让深夜在线福利视频感受到视觉上的震撼。眼见不一定为实,便是这个道理。在大裂谷观景点,蟋蟀头的最大收获,可能便是买到的两盒火柴。观景点旁边一个木雕礼品店,我问售货员是否有打火机出售?他摇头,然后从袋中掏出1盒火柴。我点点头,“这个也行。” 售价1美元,没有讨价还价。想再问他多买一盒,他跑去另一个房间,对另一个人叽叽咕咕一阵后,那个人不知从什么角落里又翻出一盒火柴。火柴难道是这里的稀缺货?我有点不明白。后来问约瑟夫,为何他们不卖打火机,只有火柴?他回答,因为打火机的气有伤身体,所以人们不爱用。真是这样吗?我半信半疑。 再一次停车时,正值中午时分,深夜在线福利视频停在一家酒店午餐。下了车,男人们除了抽烟,便是纷纷抢着与黑人兄弟合影。他们的心思谁都明白,无非是想彰显一下自己的皮肤有多白。蟋蟀头之前一直说自己晒得太黑,现在他终于心理平衡了。不仅不黑,而且看起来似乎太白了。 我们的司机约瑟夫,英语说得比我溜。在曾经是英国殖民地的肯尼亚,英语是官方语言,课本全部是英语写成。所以,只要上过学读过书的肯尼亚人,都会说一口流利英语,而且还是英式口语。非洲是一夫多妻制,所以我很好奇,约瑟夫娶了几个妻子。当他回答我,没有结婚时,我大为诧异。再问他年龄,他告诉我,他43了。听闻他已43岁还没有结婚,我表示不相信。他淡淡地笑着,“结过婚,但现在离了。”后来聊起他的生意时,他才说,7~10月是肯尼亚的旺季,他几乎天天开车在外;即使淡季的时候,也是隔一周外出一周,聚少离多,所以就离婚了,而且没有儿女。现在正和一个中国女孩交往中。约瑟夫的坦诚相告,让我了解到现在的肯尼亚,城市中的男人们迫于经济上的压力,一夫多妻在减少,这种现象也许在农村会更为普遍。 午餐是自助餐。实际上,深夜在线福利视频在肯尼亚这一路上,在酒店都是自助餐,如果在草原上,就是酒店准备的餐盒。非洲的饮食比想像中好。午餐后,继续上路。路边的植物,开始变得奇奇怪怪。 初来乍到,沿途的所有风景都令深夜在线福利视频感觉新鲜,即使车没有停留片刻,深夜在线福利视频手中的相机快门也没停歇过。在通往马赛马拉的前半段路程时,约瑟夫并不干涉深夜在线福利视频拍照,但后半段路经一些小镇时,他便严禁深夜在线福利视频拍照,“NO photo!”他说归说,深夜在线福利视频拍归拍,并不太理会他的干涉。但没想到,他神情更加严肃地阻止道:“这里不要拍照!如果你们再拍,街上的人会拿石子扔我们的。”一边说,他一边晃着右臂,做出扔石子的举动。我看着路边的人们,他们中的有些人在深夜在线福利视频经过时还会向深夜在线福利视频挥挥手。我很难想像,如果我拍他们,下一刻,他就会捡起石头攻击深夜在线福利视频。但约瑟夫的严肃劲告诉深夜在线福利视频,他不是在瞎编故事,他一定亲身经历过,他的车可能就被那些石子砸坏过。 越接近马赛马拉,灰尘越大。当车从公路转入土路时,灰尘已是铺天盖地,迎着车袭来。即使车窗全部摇紧,也丝毫无用,在剧烈的颠簸中,车窗很容易就被颠开一条缝,然后缝隙越来越大。车中,一股干燥而呛人的土味,弥散开来。我和蟋蟀头都戴上了口罩,但过不了太久,蟋蟀头还是把口罩摘到了一边,“太闷了,气也喘不过来的感觉”。约瑟夫果然不愧有15年的车龄,驾驶经验丰富,即使路烂到极点,车七摇八颠,他也几乎不减速。别小看他这辆破面包车,可是改装过的拥有四驱的面包车。真正是面包车的外型,越野车的本领。车虽然颠得厉害,但深夜在线福利视频还是睡着了。待再醒来时,蟋蟀头抹了下嘴巴,伸手向我要水喝,“我得喝口水把嘴里的土给咽下去。”他这话,把我刚喝进嘴里的水,差点喷出来。待深夜在线福利视频六辆车终于全部停下来,深夜在线福利视频可以下车透下风喘口气时,周围已是一片清新。“快看,那边的一群羚羊!”不知谁叫了一声,所有人的相机都对准了不远处草地上的一小群羚羊 。这是深夜在线福利视频在草原上第一次看到动物,难免兴奋。但在后面的几天,这样的羚羊随处可见时,大家也就习以为常了。毕竟,这是非洲大草原上最最常见的一种动物。 上车,继续向前。刚刚进入马赛马拉的深夜在线福利视频,新鲜、好奇、兴奋。显然,斑马比深夜在线福利视频淡定许多。七八月是马赛马拉的冬季,枯黄的草色,一片片地蔓延开来,羚羊开始随处可见。深夜在线福利视频的车停在了马赛村的门口。这些身披红布,手执一根木棒的男人,便是传说中连野兽也怕的骁勇善战的马赛人。我拿着一袋给小朋友们准备的棒棒糖跳下车,谁知,刚下车,这袋棒棒糖就几乎被这些男人们瓜分干净。去非洲之前,在书中了解到,马赛人不爱拍照,因为他们担心拍照会带走他们的灵魂。所以,我对去马赛村拍照心有顾忌。但是,这已不是一般的马赛村了,它已经商业化。早已见惯了各类游客,再加上我的棒棒糖,这些马赛男人都很乐意与我合影一张,即使把他们人手不离的木棒借我一用也是无所谓。 要识别马赛男人很容易,因为他们的装束很醒目:两块红底黑条或红底黑格的布,一块扎在腰上遮羞,一块披在肩上。马赛男人之所以喜欢身披红布,其实是为了吓跑狮子等野兽,保护他们赖以生存的牛群。随着时代的变迁,这块传统的红布不再是单一的红底黑条,也变换出多种样式,出现了黑条、黄条、蓝条或者黄格、蓝格,唯一不变的就是大红的底色。蟋蟀头提出要披一下他们身上的那块红布,那个马赛人立马答应,把自己身上的披风解下来,给蟋蟀头围上,再系个结,就OK了,穿戴十分容易。 这个说一口流利英语的马赛男人叫Peter,我注意到,甚至于他的装束都与其他马赛男人不一样。Peter指着距离深夜在线福利视频不远的一个小门说道:“请大家抓紧时间,赶紧过来吧,深夜在线福利视频为你们准备了节目。”那个用树枝扎起来的拱形小门便是马赛村的入口,低矮的入口与他们修长的身材完全不符。深夜在线福利视频猜想是为防大型野兽进入才设计成这样的。参观马赛村并非免费,每人要收取35美元。这样一个自费项目让团队中的部分人有点犹豫不决,踌躇着是否要花200多人民币的门票去参观一个商业化的小村落。他们的犹而不决让Peter有点不耐烦了,大声地说道,“如果不参观村子,请不要再拍任何照片。”不能拍人,即使拍风景照也不行。最终,我们的团队一分为二,一部分去参观马赛村,另一部分则直接去酒店。关于值得不值得,每个人的心里都有把秤,且准不一,难以评判。我只是认为,既然已到了别人家门口了,人都站门口欢迎深夜在线福利视频了,那就去吧,就算是一种礼仪。门票,就算是我们登门拜访的一点礼金而已。去亲朋好友家串门做客,深夜在线福利视频还得拎点东西了,去别人村里作客送点礼品更是无可厚非。最重要的是,即使这已是一个对游客开放的马赛村,它也还是马赛村,是马赛人自己的家,而非一个临时搭建起来供游客参观的人工景点。跟着Peter进了马赛村。过那道拱门时,身材矮小如我,也得弯腰才能进入。村不大,零落地散着一些土坯砌成的房屋。低矮的土屋,与马赛人的身高同样不匹配。待深夜在线福利视频一一进入,十几个马赛男人已经排成一排,准备为深夜在线福利视频跳“勇士之舞”。“勇士之舞”是马赛男人的传统舞蹈,在他们的哼唱中,一个接一个的马赛人开始立定跳高,跳完一轮,再来一轮。除了绷紧小腿,笔直地往上跳,勇士之舞没有更多动作,手上也不需要多余的比划,只要尽可能地跳得高些就行。这真是我所见过的最简单的舞蹈。但其实,跳得高,跑得快,历来就是马赛人对勇士的认定准,这其实也与他们的游牧习性相关。(拍摄者:蟋蟀头) 跳完舞,Peter开始为深夜在线福利视频介绍他们的村庄。Peter说,收来的门票钱是为六个村子的100多个孩子筹建学校而用。得知深夜在线福利视频每人交的35美元将用来建学校时,我心里顿时宽慰了许多。我问Peter,他为何会说英语?因为在我的想法里,以游牧为生的马赛部落,遵循传统生活方式的马赛人,一口流利的英语,似乎与他们完全沾不上边。Peter告诉我,他上过学。他竟然上过学?我有点吃惊。再问,村里有多少人上过学时,他平静地说道:“两个人。”另一个人,便是他的弟弟。“你是村长吗?”我问。能有这样特殊待遇的人,在我看来,必定是特权阶层。“NO。my father is chief.” 原来,他是酋长的儿子。Peter很得意地告诉我,他有10个老婆?十个老婆?!太让人吃惊了,他怎么顾得过来?“你结婚了吗?”这次轮到他向我提问了。“结婚了。”我指了指正在拍照的蟋蟀头。“不过,他只有我一个老婆。”我补充道。“你老婆向我提了这么多问,看来她爱上我了。要不,你把她让给我吧!”Peter开玩笑地和蟋蟀头说道。“NO。”蟋蟀头摇着头答道。但后来,他后悔了,和我说,“我应该假装答应他,再看他打算用多少头牛来换你,你就知道你值多少头牛了!”他刚一说完,便被我狠狠地掐了一下。不过,以畜牧为生的马赛人,的确是用牲畜作为娶亲的聘礼,据说十头牛就可以娶一个老婆。 接下来,Peter就要带我们进屋去参观了。马赛人的房屋用泥土和牛龚搭建而成,屋顶则用茅草盖上。在马赛娶老婆,男人不用担心房子问,因为房屋都由老婆搭建,一个老婆一个屋子。门很小,依然只能弯腰进去。进去后是厅,除了一股难闻的骚味,小小的厅里什么也没有。如果要坐下来,对着门,靠墙的一侧有一条砌高的土堆,可以当沙发一用。而这难闻的味道,则来自牲畜。因为牲畜是马赛人的财产,有时晚上会让牛羊进屋,以防被野兽偷袭。所以,马赛人的房屋实际上是人畜共用,有股怪味也就在所难免了。侧面有个更小的门洞,钻进去,再向左转个弯,便是卧室了。这样的内部构造,其实是防止野兽或者敌人的贸然闯入。卧室小得可怜。靠右的地上用土稍微砌高点,再铺一些布,就是他们的床了。我有一个疑问,马赛人这么高的个子,这么短的床,岂不是从来都不能伸直腿睡觉?距离床边不到一米远的土灶,便是他们煮饭的地方。而墙上那个透着光亮的小洞,则是窗户。在我看来,说是窗户实在太不贴切,怎么看也只能说是个窗洞。在屋里生火煮东西,却只有这么小的两个窗孔换气,人住里面岂不要闷死?灯呢?屋里黑漆漆的一片,他们晚上用什么照明呢?杜导的解释是,马赛人的生活是日出而作,日落而息,天黑就睡觉了,根本用不着点灯。家徒四壁,马赛人的房屋真是把这个词解释得再透彻不过。(拍摄者:蟋蟀头)几个人挤在屋里,没呆多久,已觉缺氧,再加上屋内气味奇怪,我必须得出去透口气了。一出来,迎面便撞上一气质不凡的老者,他便是Peter的父亲——酋长大人。蟋蟀头按中国人的见面规矩,赶紧递上一支烟。老酋长把烟接过来,微笑不语。虽然他不会英语,深夜在线福利视频无法更多交流,但老酋长的确是给人一种大家长的感觉。 令人惊讶的是,马赛人至今沿袭万年前钻木取火的传统。两个人搭手。把一束枯草杆垫在地上,草杆上再放一个带孔的木块,一人用手按紧这个木块,不让它移动。另一人则用一根木棍穿过木块的孔眼,并两手合掌转动木棍。18秒的时候,开始有烟冒出,不到30秒,那束枯草杆已有些许火星。马赛人便把木棍和木块拿开,用手捧着枯草杆,用嘴对着火星开始吹。烟雾越来越大,直至那束枯草杆燃起了红色的火苗。钻木取火成功,全过程仅1分钟15秒。但我永远是那个“为什么小姐”,从小到大都是如此。我从蟋蟀头那里拿来一盒火柴,问Peter,“你们为何不用火柴呢?这个更方便快捷。”说完,我掏出一根火柴,准备示范给他看,让他知道现代文明的厉害。哪知,第一根火柴竟然没划燃;换一根火柴,不行;再换一根。连换几根火柴后,Peter笑了,我却万分沮丧,并且无从解释。也许,是神不想破坏马赛人对钻木取火的执着吧,想借马赛人将这古老的传统保持下去,以告诉后人,我们人类曾经用这样的方式取火。令人啼笑皆非的是,随后Peter拿了一个带孔的木块问我,要不要买?而且开价不菲。 接着,女人们终于登场,为深夜在线福利视频表演唱歌。与马赛男人相比,女人的穿着就色彩丰富许多,而且身形相对肥胖,不知这是否与生育有关。 一夫多妻,全世界男人的梦想。不能一夫多妻,但至少可以与老婆们合个影。男队友们都纷纷跑过去与马赛女人合影,领队清静跑得最快,顺利拔得头筹,75次之,飞翔第三。只是,老婆们却越来越少。可怜的蟋蟀头,轮到他时,只剩三个马赛女人了。但他还是很开心,跟着马赛女人一起边唱边扭。她们唱的是马赛语,可蟋蟀头,你唱的又是什么呢?虽然是第四个上场,但明显他很受马赛女人的欢迎,一起唱歌,还一边有所交流。只是,你们在说什么呢? 唱完几曲后,马赛女人们散去,Peter要继续带深夜在线福利视频去参观。他指着房屋后面草地上围成半圆形的货摊说,“This is our market.”货摊上的东西无非是一些手链、项链和木制工艺品。Peter指着手链和项链告诉我说:“这些都是深夜在线福利视频村里的女人做的。”然后指着木雕说,“这些都是深夜在线福利视频男人做的。”“卖这些东西的收入也将用来建深夜在线福利视频的学校。”看着这些做工粗糙,且大同小异的商品,这一次,我却有点怀疑了。真的是自己做的?真的会把钱用来建学校?无论如何,读过书的Peter已经不再是一个原始的马赛人了,也许,在他的意识里,早已植入了市场经济。不过后来再想想,即使这些收入不是用来建学校,而是用来改善他们的生活,也未尝不可。毕竟,他们的生活环境,真的不咋样。而事实上,随着时代的发展,旅游业的兴起,放牧早已不再是他们唯一的谋生手段。旅游收入,已经成为这些村庄重要的收入来
2013年春节,准备去越南柬埔寨看看。 原计划是从南宁陆路进越南,由北往南穿越越南到柬埔寨吴哥窟后回国。 做好计划开始买飞机票时发现,从柬埔寨暹粒回国的机票比较贵,从国内去胡志明的机票倒是比较便宜。 这次去柬埔寨主要就是去看那世界七大奇迹的吴哥窟,去寻找高棉的微笑,这是不能略去的。 于是就有了直飞胡志明市,由胡志明市去柬埔寨暹粒,再回到胡志明市,再一路北下,经过美奈,大叻,牙庄,惠安,顺化,河内,下龙湾回国的路线。 虽然去柬埔寨走了个回头路,但从节约自己并不充分的资金上来看,还是个不错的选择。 废话不多说,直接看图说话,虽然照片质量不好,但以量取胜吧。 一千多张照片记录了全程,并附有路线攻略。 春节前,赶上越南证涨价,深夜在线福利视频是两次入境越南,需要一月两次入境,两本证花了1140元。 福州飞上海再飞胡志明市两人机票包括税费2850元。 因为深夜在线福利视频的飞机是凌晨到达胡志明市,在国内预定了宾馆,2晚总计30刀,加接机14刀。 带了1300刀,剩余290刀。两个人总花费约10566元。 飞机正点到达胡志明市已经是凌晨1点了。 出关很顺利。 走出机场就看到有人举着深夜在线福利视频名字的大牌子。 如果不是这么晚到达,根本不需要订酒店和接机,机场有大巴去市内。 在BOOKING订的房间总是不能让人满意,(但又能去哪里订纳?), 只有一个优点是提供早餐。 住在范五老街的小胡同里,走出胡同口就看见The SinhTourist的招牌。这个小帅哥是店里唯一会汉语的人。要不然,真不知道只会几个英语单词的半大老人怎么搞定买很多班次的汽车票。在The SinhTourist买了明天由胡志明市去柬埔寨暹粒的车票。本想买好回来时由胡志明市去河内的OPENBUS全程票。由于赶上了越南的春运。虽然现在是提前了一星期买票,但只有胡志明--美奈--大叻这一段路程有车票。而且只剩余4张票,赶紧掏钱把这一段的票先买了。其实在范五老街有很多家公司经营OPENBUS。深夜在线福利视频从The SinhTourist出来,走了不到50米,看到一家公司卖OPENBUS票。可是售票员不会汉语,深夜在线福利视频又不懂英语。正在对牛弹琴时,一位新加坡人也来买票,帮助深夜在线福利视频买好了后半程的车票,而且还是全程卧铺车票。显然,这段路程的车票已经涨价。现在想想,The SinhTourist不是没有票,他是在等涨价再卖。涨点钱能买到票就好。深夜在线福利视频后来遇到很多人买不到车票,从而打乱了整个旅游计划。我们避开了国内的春运,来到越南却赶上了越南的春运。看来,春节期间也要避开越南旅游了。这家公司的马路对面有换汇的,汇率比市中心区的金店低点。换了点越南盾去吃午饭,就在大街边上的小店。价格一点也不比国内便宜,越南人做生意是一致对外,内外有别。范五老街志性建筑。旅店有简易地图。范五老街距胡志明市的景点并不是很远,深夜在线福利视频也想走路沿线看看。来前就听说越南的水果鲜榨汁很好喝,路边看到一家,结果是大失所望。晚上回来在小胡同的另一出口处,有一家现做现卖,有很多人坐在小板凳上等待,那个才是好喝。街边小公园街景在繁华的大街中央广场,有一尊骑马铜像,是越南的民族英雄陈元汉。他昭示世人,越南人民是不会忘记历史的。说到越南的历史,是离不开中国的。秦朝时,秦始皇派军队征服了越南北部,中国的版图扩大到越南。公元10世纪,五代十国时,交趾叛乱。爱州(今越南清化)牙将吴权在海门镇打败汉军,次年称王。968年越南丁朝建立,安南最终建立了国家,但一千多年来一直作为中国的属国或藩属国。19世纪后期,法国对越南进行殖民侵略,清朝派兵抵抗,冯子材和刘永福、黑旗军等参战。1885年,清政府与法国订《中法新约》,被迫承认越南独立。从此,越南彻底从中国版图独立,并沦为法国殖民地。1945年第二次世界大战结束前后,胡志明在越南北方的河内宣布独立。而南方还处在受法国殖民保护的保大皇帝管辖之下。1954年7月21,署《日内瓦协议》。《日内瓦协议》规定,越南以北纬17度为界,南北分治,北方由胡志明领导,南方由保大皇帝统治。1955年7月17日,美国撕毁了《日内瓦协议》,取代法国在越南南方的地位,设定了所谓的越南共和国。吴庭艳发动政变,废黜保大皇帝,自己当了总统,建立南越南共和国,首都为西贡。自此,越南南方沦为美国新殖民主义的殖民地。1961年,越南战争爆发,美国与韩国、菲律宾、泰国、澳大利亚、新西兰等国组成联军,介入了这场战争。中国出动军方和大量民力、免费物质,支持越南,援越抗美。1973年1月27日《巴黎协定》订,美国承认越南民主共和国在国际上的法律地位,退出越南战争。同年3月从越南南方撤出全部军队及其同盟者军队和军事人员。1975年5月,胡志明领导的越盟(即后来的越南劳动党)击败了吴庭艳政府。1976年7月,越南南北实现统一,定国名为越南社会主义共和国,首都为河内。为了纪念胡志明的伟业,将前南方首府西贡改名为胡志明市。陈元汉铜像前方是滨城市场,是胡志明市最大的市场。里面各类生活旅游纪念用品齐全。还有各类越南小吃。越南曾经沦为法殖民地,法式烙印无处不在,从早点的法棍到街边的咖啡店让人以为身处欧洲某小镇。中国元素也无处不在,从门面上的汉字到理发小作坊。刮胡子捏背与国内一样舒坦。无论大街小巷,摩托都是绝对的主力。原来以为越南是个穷国。现在已经颠覆了以前的认识。越南国家是不富,但人民却不穷。不像天国,国家富人民穷。到总统府已经快4点了,拍了张照片没进去。门前有妹妹执勤,很乐意与我合影。合影后还到没有路灯的马路上将往来车辆叫停,让深夜在线福利视频轻松过马路。胡志明市路边有很多这样大的公园,供市民在公园里休闲歇息。从总统府走到红教堂只有几分钟的路程。圣母大教堂是法国人于1883年建成,据说建造教堂的红砖全部是从法国运来,是仿照巴黎圣母院钟楼的设计建造的。教堂不收门票,但只对游客开放前面一小部分。站在教堂的入口处,看那高大的穹顶和花窗,配上庄严肃穆的神像,显得庄重又有气势。从教堂前方看,两座40米高的白色钟塔直冲云霄。门前伫立着一座重达4吨的圣母玛丽亚雕像,红色基座白色雕像与身后的红教堂相配的极为融洽。红教堂的旁边是百年邮政局。从外表看是一幢普通的欧式建筑。但里面穹顶设计源自伦敦水晶宫的大玻璃屋顶。漂亮的地砖,红色电话亭,手绘的西贡地图和墙上巨幅胡志明画像勾勒出一幅豪华又安详的画面。我也不能免俗,在这豪华又古老的邮局里寄出一张写给自己的明信片。走出邮局,四周景色。红教堂正对着的路是胡志明市最繁华的一条路。路口街头的宣传画,好像又回到40年前的中国。中国统治了越南上千年,越南的很多民俗与中国一样。传统节日主要有春节、清明、端午、中秋、重阳等。现在春节快到了,路上张灯结彩,很有过年的气氛。也不乏高档商场,大牌云集。进百盛商场看看,世界各地的大牌都能在这里看到。二楼还有吃饭的地方。PHO24米粉连锁店在越南很有名气,但我不喜欢吃米粉,没尝试。走过百盛就是歌剧院,歌剧院的建筑风格是最具法属时期的建筑。([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the locations of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evalsuate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([
