星期二,遇见一个国家叫朝鲜每个国家都是品牌。 都有特色, 小心翼翼是行前行中不断提醒自已的箍, 在这个国家,要有自制力,不能任性。 哪怕你是摄影师也要放下身段,不能拍的,始终不能拍, 城市无码,心中有码。 伟大和伟大充满着世界, 有鲜花时送鲜花, 该鞠躬时就鞠躬。 香烟,丝巾,文具是不二的小费。 导游的筒裙、高跟鞋是不同于一般市民的一种时尚意义, 之外,更是在你身边,前后左右若隐若现。 无形告诉你,这里是墙,那里是墙。 界线严明, 确怀疑过剩。 有人说这里的人民很幸福, 我想说:嗯,……。 朝鲜有朝鲜的文化, 有惊人的革命历史, 有举世的发明, 嘹亮的歌声中,透出整齐划一的步划, 伟大构成了幸福。 人民享受着:粮票,布票,矿泉水票,鸡蛋票,油票,,,,, 还有,好空气。 但物价,对中国人却高得出奇。 三天的行程,我竟然很想回家, 真是很无耻的想法。 原因可能是胃不好,总是有饿感。 回国后,我告诉别人:在星期二,我去了朝鲜。 然后,别人一脸的惊奇。 特别提示:胃不好者,请多带食品,尤其是喜肉者。 回上海了,看到如此多的回贴,真的很惊奇。但我想说,这个贴子,只是一般的摄影贴,并非焦点访谈。大家评评拍得好与不好,我就很开心了、或大家玩笑话说说也未尝不可。有关于政x治方面的事,本人不太懂。这方面的事,如有不同意见,请去政x治版块开贴,或请直接去中x南x海(地址:天安门边上附近),那才叫有种! 如这条路行不通,移民也行,没钱去美国的话,非洲也可以。等这里让你觉得还可以住的话,再移民回来也是很好的选择。 在这里发牢骚与事无补。也不用装着很懂。导游接机后,问我们要了行程。一看,如数家珍般改变了若干的行程。万寿台是第一站。宏伟的雕塑前,前来献花鞠躬的人,一队接着一队。小朋友竟然连伞也不打,冒雨献花 看着被雨淋湿的小朋友,有点百感交集。我想,了解朝鲜这才刚刚开始吧外国游客来这里,必须买鲜花,必须去伞去帽去墨镜,必须鞠躬 军人来得和群众一样的多,一拨又一拨。可见伟大领袖在他们心目中的份量 广告与现实的距离 导游们在这里有偶遇也有常遇 雕塑前方,是开阔的视野雨不小了,参观完后,我们撤回中巴。中巴边上的一轿车,引起了我们的注意,没有LOGO,也猜不出是什么牌子,但看上去有点像美国车 隔着二层车玻璃,快速的拍一张 继续发片咯,,,, 参观完毕,婆孙俩出门相送国营店的营业员向我们介绍香烟,我们每种买了一包。试烟后,再决定买哪一种 转眼,我们来到被朝鲜抓获的美国间谍船上参观。在这里,我觉得美国人的脸每天都在被朝鲜抽着。船上比较狭小,船边也只能过一个人,从一个窗口,我偷窥了一下 各种设备,已证明是间谍船无疑。(https//news.163.com/09/0324/13/5564T3N2000136CK.html) 有兴趣的,可以看一下联接。 船上的水兵,明显有苏联水兵的影子船上的解说员,中文说得特别好,还带有东北味道。走起,下一个目地,平壤地铁,,,, 人少车少,空气好 走进地铁口,好像有一股的湿霉味,不仅仅是这里,很多室内地方,都有这种小小的味道。可能,我们的嗅觉,太落后。这分明是太阳的味道。这里有世界上最深的地铁,这是一条长达百米的电梯。据说,最深的达300米,我想再深的话,就可以穿透米国了 走过一段漂着太阳味的长廊,一转,站台出现 对于陌生的人,我理解这种眼光 “红灯记”不仅仅是中国的,更是世界的 读文看报,有文化 拼图展示社会主义一片光明,是马赛克拼的。不过,此马赛克不是彼马赛克,你懂的 先上后下 我们进了第一节车箱,好像这是专门为外宾准备的。车开动了,我恋恋不舍的回头看了一眼红灯记MM 找个空的车箱,摆一下POS ([]

五千米春夏秋冬,二十天风花雪月。——2012年,安娜普尔娜大环线徒步暨尼泊尔旅行漫记NEPAl Annapurna Circuit TREK(ACT),Once is Not Enough!应该说,我是一个懒人。自从尼泊尔旅行归来,已经好几个月了。当时一起出行的同伴在8264发的帖子也早已结束,而我的游记却一拖再拖,一直未见踪影。这也难怪,回国后的最初一段时间,我的脑子几乎一片空白,好像得了失忆症。然后慢慢的恢复了记忆,才开始动笔。繁忙而无聊的工作也开始日复一日,我只能每天晚上抽点空写上一小段。本来想也就是做个简单的旅行记录,可不曾想,边写边回忆起越来越多的内容,包括细节,包括经历,包括心情,于是,游记越写越多,于是,我决定尝试着把所有的内容都写进去。就这样,一部长长的游记渐渐出炉了。天呐!我可从没写过这么长的文章啊!我都不相信怎么能写这么多?也许这次行程对我来说实在是太过丰富,有太多感想太多思考,我都不忍舍弃。我不知道有多少人能耐着性子把它看完,其实到发帖的这一天,我的游记还没最终写完。下面就把游记陆续上传,也算是对这次行程的一次交代。 五千米春夏秋冬,二十天风花雪月。——2012年,安娜普尔娜大环线徒步暨尼泊尔旅行漫记Nepal Annapurna Circuit Trek(ACT),Once is Not Enough!Annapurna Circuit(ACT)安娜普尔娜大环线是世界级的徒步线路,在世界十大经典徒步线路中排名第一位。为了完成这次出国旅行的大长线,前期的各项工作可不是一个小工程。要算起来,在去年10月份完成川西游之后,就基本上开始在酝酿和筹划2012年的长线计划了。年底,最终决定今年去尼泊尔,主要目的就是去走安娜普尔娜大环线。这也是我第一次出国旅行,为了顺利完成此次行程,我做了大量的前期工作,参考了很多前人攻略,搜集了各类大环相关资料,包括:气候、温度、海拔、路程、班车、向导和背夫,以及尼泊尔饮食、文化、宗教等诸多方面,另外还有护照、证、汇率、陆路和航班等相关信息。经过反复斟酌比较,今年年初最终确定选择来回直飞的方式。接下来的半年多里,一步步开始了各项准备工作。4月初办好了护照,4月底买到了4飞联程打折机票,8月办好了30天证,其他的日子里一方面添置和补充户外装备,一方面不断完善行程计划。7月份,偶然机会在网上看到尼泊尔“格桑情缘”家庭旅馆,加入QQ群了解尼泊尔相关信息,又偶然在网上看到郑州的青石在约伴去大环,与之联系后惊奇发现我们竟然是同一航班,真是有缘。青石建立QQ群,同行队伍逐渐壮大,群里每天都在反复论证行程计划、确定人员名单、商讨出行方式,真是热闹非凡。9月初,购买出境游保险、单位请年休假,队伍名单也最终确认,万事俱备,就等待着出发的日子了!2012年9月20日上午,我踏上了去尼泊尔的行程。2012年10月13日中午,安全返回阜阳,尼泊尔之旅结束,来回共计24天。★选择直飞,一来是为了节省时间,因为如果先坐火车或飞机到拉萨,然后再坐班车或租车到樟木口岸,再包车去加德满都,马不停蹄至少也要4天,来回就要8-9天,太浪费时间太疲劳。二来,直飞花费并没有想象中的高,我们4月份买到的合肥-昆明-加德满都往返4飞联程机票总价才3千4百多块钱,而且是包含所有税费的,超级便宜吧!算算和走陆路差不多了。先把尼泊尔之旅的总行程表公布一下。尼泊尔之旅总日程表:D1:9月20日 阜阳-合肥-昆明D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都(入住Thamel泰米尔区格桑情缘旅馆)D3:9月22日 加德满都-BesisaharD4:9月23日 Besisahar-Syange-JagatD5:9月24日 Jagat-Tal-BagarchhapD6:9月25日 Bagarchhap-Thanchowk-CHAMED7:9月26日 CHAME-Dhikur Pokhari-Up PisangD8:9月27日 Up Pisang-Ngawal-MANANGD9:9月28日 MANANG-Gunsang-Yak KharkaD10:9月29日 Yak Kharka-Thorung PhediD11:9月30日 Thorung Phedi-High Camp-Thorung La Pass-MuktinathD12:10月1日 Muktinath-JOMSOM-MarphaD13:10月2日 Marpha-Tukche-GhasaD14:10月3日 Ghasa-TatopaniD15:10月4日 Tatopani-Beni-Pokhara(博卡拉)D16:10月5日 Pokhara(博卡拉)-Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D17:10月6日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D18:10月7日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)-加德满都(格桑情缘旅馆)D19:10月8日 Swayambhunath寺(斯瓦扬布纳特寺,俗称猴庙)-加德满都杜巴广场D20:10月9日 Bodhnath大佛塔(博达哈大佛塔)- Pashupatinath(帕斯帕提那寺,俗称烧尸庙)D21:10月10日 Bhaktapur(巴克塔普尔,即巴德岗)D22:10月11日 格桑情缘旅馆发呆-Thamel(泰米尔区)闲逛购物-聚餐D23:10月12日 加德满都-昆明-合肥D24:10月13日 合肥-阜阳总行程大致分为三部分:一、安娜普尔娜大环线徒步(D3-D15)。D3:9月22日 加德满都-BesisaharD4:9月23日 Besisahar-Syange-JagatD5:9月24日 Jagat-Tal-BagarchhapD6:9月25日 Bagarchhap-Thanchowk-CHAMED7:9月26日 CHAME-Dhikur Pokhari-Up PisangD8:9月27日 Up Pisang-Ngawal-MANANGD9:9月28日 MANANG-Gunsang-Yak KharkaD10:9月29日 Yak Kharka-Thorung PhediD11:9月30日 Thorung Phedi-High Camp-Thorung La Pass-MuktinathD12:10月1日 Muktinath-JOMSOM-MarphaD13:10月2日 Marpha-Tukche-GhasaD14:10月3日 Ghasa-TatopaniD15:10月4日 Tatopani-Beni-Pokhara(博卡拉) 二、前往释迦牟尼诞生地蓝毗尼的朝圣之旅(D16-D18)。D16:10月5日 Pokhara(博卡拉)-Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D17:10月6日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)D18:10月7日 Lumbini(蓝毗尼)-加德满都(格桑情缘旅馆) 三、世界文化遗产之旅(D19-D21)。D19:10月8日 Swayambhunath寺(斯瓦扬布纳特寺,俗称猴庙)-加德满都杜巴广场D20:10月9日 Bodhnath大佛塔(博达哈大佛塔)- Pashupatinath(帕斯帕提那寺,俗称烧尸庙)D21:10月10日 Bhaktapur(巴克塔普尔,即巴德岗) 回国后很长一段时间,我的脑子都是一片空白,人也傻乎乎的,特别懒散。逼着自己一边对着照片一边对着地图,面对那些稀奇古怪的英文地名,努力回忆那一个个曾走过的地方,终于完成了这份行程表。大约半个月后,记忆才开始一段段的恢复,梦中还一直出现徒步大环的场景。 ★尼泊尔被誉为“徒步者的天堂”,有着世界上最多、最好、最美、最完善的徒步路线,其中最负盛名的便是环Annapurna地区线路及珠峰地区线路。 Annapurna地区位于尼泊尔北部,喜马拉雅山中段。Annapurna山脉高峰林立,海拔7000米以上的雪峰共有7座主峰,其中主峰Annapurna I峰海拔8091米,在世界超过8000米的高峰中排名第十位。这里主要有三条徒步路线:Jomsom、Annapurna Sanctuary(ABC)和Annapurna circuit(ACT大环线)。而大环线无疑是其中最美的一条!其海拔从700多米一步步上升到海拔5416米的Thorong la pass(陀龙垭口),再一步步下降到820米的Pokhara(博卡拉),垂直高度的变化带来了绝美的风景体验。 按照官方的准走法,Annapurna Circuit Trek(ACT) 安娜普尔娜大环线徒步一共要21天,其中包括在MANANG和JOMSOM各休整一天,所以实际是18-19天,很多老外采取这种走法,还有的甚至长至一个月时间。按准行程去走大环,每天徒步的时间不长,走的路也不多,让你有更多的时间去享受徒步过程中的美景和心情,那是相当浪漫和惬意的。 我们因没那么多时间,就采用了比较快速的走法,前后总共用了13天(9月22日-10月4日)完成了Annapurna大环线的徒步,具体情况将在后面的游记中详细叙述。其实对于在国内常常活动的驴友来说,两周走完全程一点都没问。 大环线以Thorong la pass(陀龙垭口)为界分为东线和西线两大段,在东线的上升过程中,你会看到森林、草甸、田园、村落、瀑布、雪山;在翻过垭口之后,你会立即感受到西线与东线风景的差异之大:荒凉的河谷和裸露的山体,恐怖的狂风和肆虐的沙尘暴,而荒凉河谷边那世外桃源般的美丽藏寨和苹果庄园,也一定给你带来一种梦幻般的惊喜。 这就是Annapurna大环,无论自然还是人文,都成为途中不断变化的风景。 上下近五千米的海拔落差,让你体验一次春夏秋冬的变换; 前后共十三天的一路跋涉,让你经历一回风花雪月的旅程。 这绝对是一次能让你终生难忘的旅行。 走完这条世界级经典徒步线路之后,我最大的感触就是:如果有机会,我一定还会再去的! 下面就让我的游记带大家走一次吧! D1:9月20日 阜阳-合肥-昆明 9月20日上午,我和老刘乘坐1003的K60/61次火车离开阜阳,发哥、老丁、笑、小尹、老刘夫人一行到车站给我们送行。火车晚点,13点多才到合肥。老同学小魏和另一位旅行同伴老朱开车接站,抵老朱家后去吃午饭,16点小魏驱车把我们三人送至机场,18:40乘坐东航MU5591次航班飞昆明,2200,抵达昆明长水国际机场。 昆明长水国际机场是今年六月份刚刚启用的新机场,设施完备,气派豪华,可与浦东国际机场媲美。机场超大,仅登机口就有七十多个!我们下了飞机走到取行李处就差不多了走了十分钟。由于是新机场,周边配套基础设施都没搞起来,距离市区也很远,第二天一大早还要提前两小时过安检,算算剩不下几个小时了,于是决定就在机场凑合一夜。夜里睡在机场的长条凳上倒也不错,不过由于我的大意,夜里可能受了凉,又拉肚子又感冒,折腾了一夜,真是出师不利啊!老朱倒是干脆把睡袋拿出来用,睡了一个好觉。 D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都 终于囫囵熬过一夜,一大早,我们第一批换了登机牌,为了能在飞机上看到喜马拉雅雪山,特地让值机人员给了三个靠右窗的座位。稍后,与网络约伴大环同行者青石等一行四人汇合,他们是前一天上午到的昆明,当晚住到市区去了,我们将乘坐同一航班前往加都。 老刘的登机序号是001号,座位是35L,谁知上了飞机才发现,前后排都有窗户,我和老朱的36L、37L都是窗户,偏偏老刘的35L右侧没窗户!哈哈,当时老刘郁闷啊!在此也提醒朋友们乘坐的如果是空客320机型,换登机牌时千万不要选35L!安检时间到了,昆明机场的安检人员不是海关人员,而全部是边防武警,检查也特别严格,同行好几人都被要求脱鞋检查。由于受到航空管制,正点955起飞的东航MU757次航班晚点半小时起飞,由昆明直飞加德满都。在抵达加都前半小时左右,看到了在天际间一字排开的喜马拉雅雪山群峰在阳光下熠熠生辉蔚为壮观。 由于昆明的维度比加德满都低,航线大致是从东南向西北飞的,不像成都、拉萨飞加都的航线是直接从喜马拉雅山脉上跨越,因此距离喜马拉雅雪山比较远,但依然可以清晰的识辨出珠峰。北上的印度洋暖流受到高大的喜马拉雅山脉阻隔,都聚集到山脉之南,因此尼泊尔只有旱季雨季之分。我们抵达的时间正值尼泊尔雨季的末尾,云层仍然很厚,一大团一大团的云朵静止般悬浮在加都上空,有的像棉花糖,有的像羊群,有的像一个孤岛,看上去别有一番味道。飞机在空中盘旋了数圈之后开始降落了,我们于尼泊尔时间11点左右(尼泊尔与中国时差2小时15分钟)安全抵达加德满都特里布万国际机场。 刚下飞机就感受到了强烈的阳光和闷热潮湿的空气,如果不是事先就知道的话,你简直不相信不远处那幢低矮老旧的三层红砖楼房就是赫赫有名的加德满都特里布万国际机场大楼!与昆明机场相比简直就是天壤之别,因为它看上去很像国内七、八十年代的那种老式厂房或仓库,现在国内的大多数汽车站都要比它强的多!尼泊尔还是穷啊! 随着人流来到装潢简陋,设施陈旧的入境大厅,工作人员穿着便装坐在普通的椅子上办公,好像没见到有电脑,真是寒酸啊!大厅里人来人往乱哄哄的,好多人忙着去填入境卡,我们的入境卡在飞机上已经填过了,就直接去排队入境。入境的乘客大致分成三队,一队好像是尼国或印度人,一队大多是老外,人家的护照是可以免或落地的,而我们这一队是需要验证的。按照官方的规定,中国游客去尼泊尔可以办理落地,但如果你没有证的话,中国海关是不会让你出关的,因此,这种所谓的落地待遇形同虚设,你还是必须要先办好证才行,除非你是从第三国入境,而不是直接从国内出境。真是不出国不知道中国人在国际上的待遇有多低!偏偏老刘的35L不靠窗晕,第一次在8264发帖,怎么还要审核?每帖只能发三张图片,不习惯啊。D2:9月21日 昆明-加德满都 终于囫囵熬过一夜,一大早,我们第一批换了登机牌,为了能在飞机上看到喜马拉雅雪山,特地让值机人员给了三个靠右窗的座位。稍后,与网络约伴大环同行者青石等一行四人汇合,他们是前一天上午到的昆明,当晚住到市区去了,我们将乘坐同一航班前往加都。 老刘的登机序号是001号,座位是35L,谁知上了飞机才发现,前后排都有窗户,我和老朱的36L、37L都是窗户,偏偏老刘的35L右侧没窗户!哈哈,当时老刘郁闷啊!在此也提醒朋友们乘坐的如果是空客320机型,换登机牌时千万不要选35L!安检时间到了,昆明机场的安检人员不是海关人员,而全部是边防武警,检查也特别严格,同行好几人都被要求脱鞋检查。由于受到航空管制,正点955起飞的东航MU757次航班晚点半小时起飞,由昆明直飞加德满都。在抵达加都前半小时左右,看到了在天际间一字排开的喜马拉雅雪山群峰在阳光下熠熠生辉蔚为壮观。 由于昆明的维度比加德满都低,航线大致是从东南向西北飞的,不像成都、拉萨飞加都的航线是直接从喜马拉雅山脉上跨越,因此距离喜马拉雅雪山比较远,但依然可以清晰的识辨出珠峰。北上的印度洋暖流受到高大的喜马拉雅山脉阻隔,都聚集到山脉之南,因此尼泊尔只有旱季雨季之分。我们抵达的时间正值尼泊尔雨季的末尾,云层仍然很厚,一大团一大团的云朵静止般悬浮在加都上空,有的像棉花糖,有的像羊群,有的像一个孤岛,看上去别有一番味道。飞机在空中盘旋了数圈之后开始降落了,我们于尼泊尔时间11点左右(尼泊尔与中国时差2小时15分钟)安全抵达加德满都特里布万国际机场。 刚下飞机就感受到了强烈的阳光和闷热潮湿的空气,如果不是事先就知道的话,你简直不相信不远处那幢低矮老旧的三层红砖楼房就是赫赫有名的加德满都特里布万国际机场大楼!与昆明机场相比简直就是天壤之别,因为它看上去很像国内七、八十年代的那种老式厂房或仓库,现在国内的大多数汽车站都要比它强的多!尼泊尔还是穷啊!

等到第一批9名背夫和包租的班车到齐,已经11点了,队伍拍照留影之后乘车出发。半途接上另一批5名背夫继续前往计划中的正式徒步起点Syange。队员空心办的两个证,上面那个蓝色的是团体证,个人背包客只能办绿色证才有效。切记!整装待发的老外徒步客我们在大环上住宿的第一个房间 我们去的时候还没到徒步大环的旺季,小镇上没什么人。不过很快这里就会车水马龙了。从左至右:空心、老朱、浮云、我、璀璨、小雨、青石、ACAP官员、樱花、小酒、镜子、天蓝、小璐、老刘、毛菇,拍照的是大个。这座吊桥是徒步线路。 尼泊尔山区的班车全部都是改装过的,车身被架的很高,而且都改成了四驱!呵呵,没见过四驱的30座中巴车吧,来尼泊尔你就能见到了,看上去这些改装车样子都怪怪的,可在尼泊尔的山区“公路”上,你还就得靠它们才行,四驱越野过不去的路他们照样能过。从Besisahar到Syange只有区区20多公里,然而这短短的路竟然整整开了3个小时,天呐!那叫什么“公路”啊!几乎没有一点平坦的路段,一路全是大大小小的石头和泥水坑,这还不算什么,不过就是车身颠簸摇晃的厉害点罢了,可怕的是很多路段汽车几乎就是贴着悬崖边在走,有些急转弯处,半个后轮估计都是悬空的!坐在右侧的队友们后来说,他们在途中根本不敢往窗外看,因为你看不到所谓的公路,看到的不是悬崖就是深深的河谷,早知如此还不如下车徒步呢!有些路段坡度很陡,司机改用四驱加大油门车轮还是打滑,你可以清楚的听到车轮与石头剧烈摩擦发出的刺耳声音,当时真担心会爆胎,因为尼泊尔不仅车子破旧,连轮胎也没见过几个新的,大多都是牙齿快要磨没的“光头胎”! 尼泊尔山区的车在行驶中车门都是不关的,驾驶座的门也开着,方便司机随时观察路况。而且每辆车都会有一两个小马仔,他们抓着扶手,身体吊在门口或者车尾的行李架梯子上,一路上也不说话,遇到危险路段时,他们就会用不同的强弱节奏“嘭嘭、嘭嘭”地拍打车厢,以此提醒和告知司机能否通行,只要听到马仔强烈拍打出“嘭”的一声,车子就会立马刹住。司机和马仔用这种约定的特殊信号配合得十分默契,每个危险地段都有惊无险的通过。在这种山路上开车,倒车镜的视野是非常受限制的,为了保证安全这也算是最好的办法了吧。如果前方路段有通不过的大坑时,两个马仔就会立马跳下去搬石头把它们填平。司机神情自若地在恐怖的公路上驾驶着,看吊坠摇晃的幅度就知道路况如何。路经大环上第一个ACAP检查站,箭头所指方向是徒步线路,通往MANANG(马南)认真的工作人员逐人检查登记,态度一丝不苟。 我一直坐在司机旁边,对司机的驾驶技能看得也最为真切,司机是个小伙子,驾驶中沉着冷静不慌不忙,好多危险地段我的心脏简直就要跳出来了,可最终都化险为夷,通过之后小伙子也会长出一口气,看来他也在担心啊!难怪都说尼泊尔盛产世界上最牛的司机,你只有走过之后才会明白原来最牛的司机就是这样炼成的!在这样的山路上驾驶,不牛能行吗?想想他们挣这点钱也真不容易,这是在玩命呢! 这果真是一段惊心动魄的行程,为了保持身体平衡,我双手紧紧抓住车顶的行李架一刻也不敢放松,到下车时双臂都快要麻木了!这种路算是好路了,恐怖的路段没法拍照,去实际体验一次吧。满眼的绿啊一段全是大坑的烂路,好在一辆推土机正在抢修挂在车后的马仔是最牛的!也不怕给颠下来。看看!路边就是深深的河谷这种烂泥路满载没法通过,全队下车步行在尼泊尔坐在班车顶行李架上是司空见惯的场景,真佩服他们的胆量。背夫们在吃饭,正宗尼泊尔餐是用手抓来吃的吃饭的客栈旁边就有一个美丽的瀑布([]
好多年前就想去泰国,一直没有成行,这次也是受朋友之邀来了一次泰国游。我的坐骑。当地庙宇([]
开封,一个离徐州仅有300公里的古都,行摄十年,来来回回往返经过了N次,却一直都没能一览风貌,2014年6月6日,利用周末的空闲时间专门到开封一游,也算了了一个心愿。徐州—开封,交通非常方便,三个多小时火车便可直达。周五下班后,回家简单收拾了下行李,背上背包,晚上十点多则到达了开封站,开封,这个有着多种别称的古老都城,我终于来了! 6月7日 开封下车晚上1000,找到预定宾馆安顿下来,第二天一大早就前往汴河,开始了开封的游览。开封行的第一个游览地为中国翰园。中国翰园位于开封市龙亭湖风景区西北隅,是李公涛先生带领全家自筹资金发起创建的一座融山水艺术景观和古典园林建筑艺术为一体,集古今中外诗词、书画、碑刻艺术之大成的文化园林。 因为来的太早了,翰园还没开门,只能局限在大门外游览了。玉带桥玉带桥位于南大门外,拱高而薄,形若玉带。桥栏望柱雕有线条流畅的纹络图案,柱头上38对蹲卧狮子,雕工精细,形象生动。轩辕黄帝塑像轩辕黄帝塑像系花岗岩雕塑而成,高达18米,生动展现了黄帝的神圣庄严与崇高。塑像底座上,"人文始祖轩辕黄帝"八个大字由全国人大副委员长楚图南先生书写。基座台阶中央有七条蟠龙汉白玉浮雕,象征开封是七朝古都;基座玉石栏杆上的龙头浮雕,象征着炎黄子孙都是龙的传人。 中国翰园碑林占地120亩,由一岭、二潭、三山、三台、三湖、三湾、三岛、三泉、五溪、九瀑、十峰、十二桥、十二亭组成 ,分园林、碑廊两大景观。南部以园林风景为主,由南向北依次建有南牌楼、玉带桥、轩辕黄帝塑像、家训碑、盘龙岭、高风亭、文萃山、翰园湖、赛诗台、仰圣山、九曲桥、孔子像、金石岛等。 因为进不了园林,只能在河边远远的“遥望”。 进不了翰园,索性就在汴河边溜达。天波杨府就坐落在汴河对面。 之前对开封的印象只是停留在包公的开封府,没想到这中原城市开封还是个“一城宋韵半城水”的美丽都城。 今天主要的目的是游览清明上河园,可这景点是按时按点开门的,趁着等开门的时间空挡,先在附近转转,没成想,这位于清明上河园边上的七盛角还真是个不错的地方。七盛角是开封首个集旅游、文化、休闲、餐饮、购物为一体的全仿宋建筑项目开封建业东京梦华七盛角文化民俗街。也就是大家口中常说的民俗一条街,但因这个“街”位于汴河边上,又紧邻清明上河园,因此,一条汴河将这条街变的灵动美丽了起来。正是这座桥将汴河水引入了城区,让整座城与汴河结为了一体。这座桥就称为天波桥。 刚开始游览开封,就看到了这么一泓碧波,心情一下就清爽了起来。 集锦桥是七盛角的一座木质廊桥,是仿造南方的古桥而建,看上去与浙江福建的廊桥有的一比。([

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 evaluate 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([]
