旅行的目的是什么?简单的游山玩水?还是试图摆脱固有的陈旧环境,到一个完全陌生的城市无拘无束的松懈自己?又或是天马行空,嬉逐人间,纵情于湖光山色中映照内心?我不知道,每个人都应该拥有一个属于自己的答案。但我想,旅行应该是苦乐喜悲并举的。当我们处处防备围墙重重徘徊处,远方行人狭路相逢却不吝暖人笑意;当我们张开双手敞开怀抱投递每一个微笑时,陌生人剖心相照怀抱亦可如兄弟亲密。我想,这大概就是旅行的意义,消除偏见,发现自我,丰富人生。所有帖子已经更新完毕3楼河内篇29楼 芽庄篇621楼大叻篇 我的越南行——我一定会怀念这一路,自由短暂却彻底。 鸣谢 行在越南网 友情提供的旅游景区攻略资料。十一假期我该去哪里? 从没有踏出过国门,一直想去到一个完全不能用汉语的地方,想体验那种不一样的生活,独自。这次我听了同事的建议去一趟芽庄享受一下沙滩、潜水、美味海鲜也是及好的。越南是一个超级适合度假的地方,海岸线狭长,海鲜、潜水、海景房样样都有,样样便宜,中国人去玩完全没有压力。越南还是个快乐的国度,完全没有新闻里说的那么穷,人们不会过于追求金钱,而是选择舒服地活着。很容易就被越南人乐观的情绪所感染。越南每个旅游城市都有自己的特点,一路下来,完全不会审美疲劳。河内街头的电车美女与美食,让你眼睛和舌头上天堂;芽庄是潜水的圣地,还有洗黑泥的妹纸和海鲜;大叻像阿尔卑斯山下的小镇,红墙绿瓦、咖啡飘香。。。乘坐到达河内大巴车到达友谊关,在友谊关,给边防武警递上自己的护照,他职业性地微笑一下,盖个戳,然后放行。办理了出境之后,我就算真正地离开了祖国,跟随人流进入了越南边防的小房子,大家都挤成了一团,每个人都在护照里夹了10块钱递进办入境的窗口(据说不夹钱,护照就会被扔到一边,没人管),没有零钱给他一张100居然只找了我88块钱。。奶奶的多收了2块钱小费,算了到了人家地盘上乖乖的,只希望护照快点出来。大概等了10来分钟,就会有越南长官拿着一叠护照挨个念名字,不过发音确实很蛋疼,念到名字的人拿上护照就算入境了,没听清的人也不用着急,他会再念第二遍。友谊关可以换到全世界最高的汇率 1元RMB=3400越南盾,熬了30年,终于成了百万富翁…… 抵达河内,在三十六行街(背包客比较多的商业街)随便找了个酒店住下来,酒店到处都是,价格也便宜,双人间基本上就是15-20美元一天,摩托车一天大概要7美金。由于历史原因语言交流出现了严重的障碍,可爱的越南妹子说的英格力斯我完全的不懂,没办法只好使用必杀技“国际手语”她完全的明白,OK!住了房,租了摩托,问好路~出发!河内的天气和8月的北京差不多,一样那么闷热,身体虽然遭罪,但眼睛却很享福,因为每个人都穿得那么性感 ,一到还剑湖,立马感受到这里的生活节奏是如此的安逸,每个人都慢悠悠地活着,街边游走着不少卖美食的小贩,还有不少美女悠闲地骑着摩托车,我想我来对地方了。第一次到越南,对什么东西都充满了新鲜感,特别是对河内的妹纸,她们面容娇好、身材苗条,打扮时尚。河内留给我的两个印象:美女多、摩托车多,当这两者结合起来:很多美女骑着摩托车在你身边来来往往,这场景,光是想想都会让人流口水。 河内的摩托车确实多,大街小巷全是,今天一天看到的摩托车,比过去十年还多,都说重庆生产的力帆摩托车都卖给了越南,看来,还真是这样的。 不多拍点摩托美女 怎么能对得起看帖子的劳苦大众~虽然是大清早,但依然不时有漂亮的妹纸来让你眼前一亮,特别是她们骑摩托车的样子让你有种想变成摩托车的冲动。 本以为对面那个甜美系的妹纸是越南人,一搭讪才发现是日本人,顿时兴趣大减,要看漂亮日本妹纸在家就可以了,根本用不着跑到越南来。 沿着还剑湖由北走到南,就是越南国家历史博物馆,了解一个国家,至少要知晓一些它的历史;了解一个国家的历史,博物馆是个好去处。越南历史博物馆建于1932年,主体部分是一座三层黄色的建筑物,有着八角攒尖的顶和仿木结构的斗拱和瓦檐,也有向外突出的欧式阳台,汇集了东西方不同的建筑风格。占婆时期的青铜鼓、新石器时期的陶器 、占婆时期的青铜器 、阮朝时期的瓷器 、前黎朝的木佛像 、阮朝时期的书籍,未被法国占领之前,越南一直在使用汉字 。沿路上很多城管车,都是用喇叭喊,大概的意思也就是禁止占道之类的,但是每个人都荷枪实弹有点让路人打怵的。突然有个想法:不知道与我们国内的城管PK一下 会是什么结果呢?圣约瑟夫大教堂,第一感觉就是很眼熟,原来这就是巴黎圣母院的缩小版,建于1886年。看来法国人在越南殖民时期还是狠下了血本的。黑白斑驳的墙面充满了历史感,应该说这里是河内最美的建筑了,教堂的大门只有在举办弥撒时才会打开,其余的时间,游客要从侧面进,侧门位于面对教堂左侧的小巷内。 骑着摩托的确很快,按照地图的示,本来要去文庙的,却误打误撞的走进战争博物馆,既来之则游之,买票进场!讲解员妹纸慷慨激昂的诉说着越南人民是如何用智慧击败美帝国主义,一幅幅图片、一片片残骸仿佛在给人们还原那一段刻骨铭心的侵略战争。胡爷爷纪念堂威严的耸立在市中心,他老人家不在家,据说是到俄罗斯度假去了~纪念堂门口站的兵是我见过的所有越南士兵当众最板正的。。。 面对纪念馆的右手边是主席府(法国统治期间的总督府),胡志明曾经在里面办公生活,后来感觉太过奢侈,便搬到了旁边的小院 面对纪念馆的左手边就是独柱寺了,独柱寺经常被作为越南的志被建在在世界各地的世界公园里,原寺1954年法国撤军时被炸毁,仅存石柱。1955年在原址依原样重建,但规模小于原建。河内游荡的一天里在路边、巷子边看到了很多寺庙,烧香拜佛的僧众还真不少,香火鼎盛,愿佛祖保佑他们!阿门~哈利路亚!途中遇到一个公园,我也小清新一下,坐在公园一角欣赏越南人民的业余生活,街舞、健美操、羽毛球、足球充斥其中。看着他们打球我手就痒了起来,忍不住下场与越南人民进行了一场羽毛球友谊赛,中越混双VS美越男双!感动不是战胜对手的那一刻,到一个地方感受当地的文化气息,简单的几句英语交流,与无国界的运动交织在一起,得此机遇我愿足矣。。。。返回酒店途中,再遇河内的摩托大军,开始骑的不是很快总是害怕被车撞一直让车,后来才知道越南的司机技术都超好,他们会躲着你的。 夜晚的河内非常热闹,老外、小吃、美女、酒吧。。。越南人喜欢喝喝啤酒,找个四通八达的路口,几根小板凳,喝一口酒,就一口菜,眼睛也不忘给来来往往的妹纸行个注目礼。老外们则光顾一些有情调雅致的酒吧咖啡吧。各种现榨水果汁儿,我最喜欢甘蔗和芒果汁,超级爽!晚饭很是奢侈,足足花了我15万大洋,不过这不是重点!吃饭中对面偶遇一日本人,连比划带说算是认识了,这家伙倒是很客气,不过咱的革命立场不能变啊,最后哥用纯正的东北话对他重申钓鱼岛是我们中国的...他点头表示认同河内总结篇: 住:还剑湖北边的三十六行街即老街区有很多旅馆,-不等,住这里有几个好处,首先是热闹,出门就是各式各样的小商店;其次这里是旅行社、参观、网吧云集的地方,要参各团、吃个饭什么的方便;再次,这里离景区都比较近,方便步行参观。 吃:在越南一般就吃米粉pho ,炒饭com,春卷cha gio,我们一般都在三十六行街的路边摊解决的,一般,一碗牛肉粉20.000D的样子,有的hotel楼下有cafe,吃过一次类似盖浇饭样的东西30.000D,试过一次“中国式烧烤”,鸡翅10.000D一串还说得过去,香菇也10.000D一串!喝的除了碳酸饮料和鲜啤酒还有果汁,强烈推荐芒果汁和甘蔗汁,越南的芒果甘蔗很甜,一般10.000D~20.000D一杯,试下当地啤酒也不错,没什么酒味,我很喜欢,一般8.000D一杯。 玩:河内的景点主要分布在还剑区和巴亭区,步行一天基本上可以看完。瞻仰胡志明墓,参观胡志明故居和独柱寺,然后去文庙,参观军事博物馆、历史博物馆、和大教堂。喜欢买东西的可以逛逛三十六行街。河内这些景点的票价都很便宜,一般都在RMB10以下。 行:摩托车出租(150,000D/天),腿脚好的步行参观也可以,因为市区其实没有多大,而且不用担心停车的问,走到哪都可以停下来拍照或者买东西。芽庄篇根据行程 我们在芽庄逗留3日,在芽庄的时光是我感觉到最舒服的,蓝天、海滩、潜水、四岛游、泥巴浴、占婆塔...童鞋们跟着我的图片尽情游荡在美丽的芽庄小镇到达芽庄已经是傍晚,这里的第一顿必须是海鲜啊,龙虾超便宜每公斤大概20~25万,合人民币60元。([]

穿越昔日日本(江户东京建筑园)1993年,在东京都立小金井公园内开园的江户东京建筑园是一座户外型博物馆。建筑园占地约7公顷,园中排列着从江户时代到昭和初期的29栋复原建筑物,按年份排列,也就是从1652年到1942年期间的建筑。许多历史建筑物难以在建造的当地保存,却又有着极高的文化价值,建筑园的使命就是将这些历史建筑物按原样移建,并在此基础上进行保存和展示。建筑园是模仿东京都的地形而设计的。东区是商人和手艺人居住的平民区;中心区域是江户时期武士及明治时代以后(1868年~)官员及实业家等人的居住区;西区则再现了田园式的农户居住的武藏野高地。在这种独具匠心设计的园内,不同建筑保持着各自固有的环境氛围,所以在建筑园里散步,不由得产生一种时光倒流的感觉。在茅草屋顶的民宅里,每天都有志愿者在地炉里生火,这样做一方面是用烟熏防止茅草生虫,另一方面使得建筑园的来客追忆起当时的农家生活。当迈入东区平民区,一种奇妙的观光气氛便会大幅增加。之所以产生这种感觉,是因为这里有着明治时代的石造警察局建筑和街灯等物品,还有在商店的货架上摆放着仿制明治时代的商品,这不仅仅是建筑物的再现,也是将当时的生活情景进行再现。这正是江户东京建筑园的一大特征。(摘自網絡)公園內深秋的景色公園內建筑([]
长篇纪实连载 迷茫的山林(上) ——走进豫西熊耳山 念奴娇.熊耳山 群峰竞秀,若熊耳,山林一片苍莽。 全宝鹰嘴与花山,突兀向天高昂。 春风荡绿,夏雨唱溪,秋来叶红果香。 林海雪原,鲵蛙鸟兽乱闯。 而今吾来探访,不惧山高,不怕峡漫长, 那山那水那沟壑,缘何几多迷茫? 一曰路丢,一曰雾锁,一曰林海凉。 格物铭志,述与后者共享。 前 言 熊耳山,属秦岭东段支脉,是河南省级森林和野生动物类型的自然保护区之一,也是豫西主要山脉之一,居于河洛之间,西起卢氏,东延伊川,南接伏牛,北邻崤山,横跨栾川、嵩县、洛宁、宜阳四县,面积3.4万公顷,海拔1000-2100米。其森林似海、沟壑纵横、奇峰林立、层峦叠嶂、飞瀑流云、珍禽竞奔、万鸟争鸣,是豫西较大的一处集中连片原始林区。 走进熊耳山,对于我而言,也是近几年的事儿。 之所以我开笔来写熊耳山,原因大体如下: 首先,熊耳山的迷茫之美,令我刻骨铭心。山高、林密、峡长、沟深、水清、潭幽、路小、岔多、云绕、雾锁、......行走其间,疑窦丛生,抬头看天天苍苍,低头看地地茫茫,去时混沌沌,回来费思量,东西不好辨,南北无方向,几番迷途心存怯,几多向导也癫狂,哈哈!愈是迷茫,愈是难忘! 其次,熊耳山的原始之美,使我心旷神怡。看倦了高楼林立的闹市,厌烦了人声鼎沸的车海,穿越了纷繁吵杂的战场,跨过了意气风发的年轮,背起行囊,返璞归真,走进原始生动的大自然真好,而熊耳山的茂密森林、静谧峡谷、山水鸟兽、花果溢香、古朴田园、醇厚民风,呵呵!常来常新,乐此不疲! 其三,熊耳山的山水之美,可谓风景如画。全宝山漆林遍布,祖师庵气宇非凡;鹰嘴山风骚界岭,杜鹃花万亩浸染;花果山孙猴老家,仰天池高坐山涧;莲花顶道教圣地,白马涧潭溪玉连;鳔池村无独有偶,胡地村群山四环;......四季景色各不同,咋走都在画中行,嘿嘿!年年岁岁,不来不行! 其四,熊耳山的故事之美,让我浮想联翩。王莽寨、韩王坟、仰天池、神灵寨、红娘子沟、演兵场、跑马岭、饮马池、拴马桩、藏兵洞、......一个名字,一页历史,一个故事,一段传说,或惊心动魄,兵来将往,或凄美委婉,优雅动听,尽管历史不会重演,但是感悟而今永远,啧啧!余音绕梁,回味无穷! 多次出行,串联成册,是因为次次线路不同但又密切相关,是因为回回来去匆匆一木难成林,是因为每每牵肠挂肚很想把全景呈送。 当然,我不是探险家,很难把熊耳山的山水沟坎都探索一遍,我不是摄影家,不会把满目的美景塞进我的镜头,我不是文学家,无法用更美的语言来描述,我不是史学家,难以把某一段壮美的史话呈现,我不是地质学家,不能把那山那水的来龙去脉说个详细,我更不是动植物学家,满山遍野的花草树木还真是知之甚少,......我,就是我,一个乐山好水的背包客,一个不辞辛苦的徒步者,一个似懂非懂的摄影者,一个半荤半素的文学爱好者,仅此而已。 所以,所经,所历,所见,所闻,所摄,所写,所感,所悟,......你不必太认真,我和盘托出,你趁热咽下,味道不错,你接着来,嫌甜嫌淡,你就扔一边好了。 目 录第一回 俩鳔池南辕北辙,众驴儿极限穿越。 4--30楼第二回 坐蹦蹦车翻山越岭,下白马涧暴雨倾盆。 32-73楼第三回 鳔池村群英荟萃,下涧果夜半狂欢。 204-241楼第四回 白马涧中赏心悦目,五里渠下再遭天浴 311--358楼第五回 神灵寨二度探访,玉皇殿小驴欢歌 367--389楼第六回 刘后坡初识莲花顶,胡地村难觅洞子沟 468--524楼第七回 穿林海野趣横生,吉向导疯狂纵情 532--600楼第八回 瑶池畔氧吧野营,五瀑下幽谷倩影 636--681楼第九回花山村小休觅来路,七峪沟水污桃花香 684--721楼——《迷茫的山林(上)》到此结束————《迷茫的山林(下)》即将开始—— 第一回俩鳔池南辕北辙,众驴儿极限穿越 我第一次走进熊耳山,是在某年的6月20日-22日。 盛夏已经来临,火辣辣的太阳把大地变成了一个火炉。 连天户外的“沙漠”发帖,说是去熊耳山腹地的“奇妙水世界---白马涧休闲徒步穿越”,也没有多想,就冲着那个“水”字去了。 我真的没有想到,就此开始,我和熊耳山就结下了一连串婆娑迷离的渊源。 闲言少叙,书归正转。 周五晚7:30准时成行,一看同行的驴儿,一半生来一半熟,6女14男,嗨,够热闹的吧! 上车,出发。4个小时的路程,闲话不少,正话也就领队弥勒佛的“户外无小事”还算中肯。 下车,扎营。营地设在嵩县吴沟村口农家打麦场上,黑灯瞎火的,也没觉着有多好,只看着场上麦垛嶙嶙,听见场下河水哗哗,场面平平,扎十多顶帐篷不成问。 山乡的夜空瓦蓝瓦蓝,凌乱的星辰闪闪烁烁,农家的狗儿汪汪狂吠,水中的青蛙歌声嘹嘹,…… 唉,这样的夜晚你说美不美?扎好帐篷,大家睡意全无,有人又摆起了地摊,说说笑笑喝起酒来,究竟是闹到两点还是三点,我不清楚,反正我睡得迷迷糊糊,还听到他们在说话。 我不大喜欢喝酒,也就没去凑这个热闹。此时此刻,我想静静地感受一下这山村的凉风,回忆一丝童时睡麦场的感觉,于是,坐在河边的石头上,点上一支烟,悠哉游哉,心猿意马了好一会儿,才进帐睡觉。因为凉爽,睡得很香很甜! 一觉醒来,天已经大亮,早起的驴儿开始来回走动,洗脸唰牙,梳头化妆。我起来得不算太晚,懒洋洋爬出帐篷,从容容收帐入包,拿起灶具,走向不远的河边,用村民们从山上引下来的甘泉做饭,可能是山水清纯,做出来的饭好吃得很哩! 面对我们这群身着奇装异服的不速之客,山村的大人小孩都来看热闹,稀奇呀!有人说我们是来拍电影的,有人说我们是来搞勘探的,当得知我们的来意之后,他们得出的结论是:吃饱了,噌的慌!! 山乡的晨曦很美很美,美的让人心醉!在山峦重叠间,一轮红日冉冉升起,给偏僻寂静的小村披上了万道霞光;在绿荫环抱之中,小山村玲珑幽雅,悠然自得,正是野居深山自不知,猛然回眸若桃源;一条蜿蜒在峡谷中的公路切村而过,垂直于公路的吴沟向天池山最高峰王莽寨方向伸去,三面环山山色翠,两河交汇水草鲜;朴实勤劳的山民,男的地里锄玉米,女的下河洗衣衫,几个顽皮的小家伙,跑前跑后玩的好开心! 基于此,有人戏称我们当晚宿营在“四星级宾馆”,你说象吗?嗨,嗨,我看也有点味道,最起码不热不冷,不烦不躁,空气新鲜,环境幽雅,比寒舍睡着美多了! 大约8:30,我们开始出发了,顺着吴沟,向着王莽岭的方向。 按照既定方针,我们本次驴途是一次无向导穿越活动,我们无法得知,领队弥勒佛研究了多少次这条线路,只知道弥勒佛把线路要点记得很清楚:从吴家沟村上山,登上王莽寨,下到鳔池村,翻过一个山梁,下到白马涧,顺水而下到沟口公路乘车。为了保险起见,弥勒佛还带上了GPS定位系统,防备不测之遇。 准备的不算不周全,设计的不算不合理,唉,出发时谁也没有想到,两大漏洞在悄悄的等待着我们呀! 漏洞之一:我们要去的是洛宁的鳔池村,没有人知道嵩县也有一个鳔池村,而且南辕北辙,相距甚远。一个内涵生僻字的村名,就这么金贵呀!我晕,同去的驴儿都晕呀! 漏洞之二:GPS定位系统的偏差,是我们时料不及的。你向一个方向走的时候,它提示正确或者不给提示,当你走过100米或者更远的时候,它开始不断提示错误,请原路返回。户外活动,穿山越岭司空见惯,这样的折腾来折腾去,你说可怕不? 当然,这两大漏洞,是我们事后才体会到的,实践出真知吗!不过,当时,谁也不知道呀! 顺着吴沟行进大约2公里左右,开始右拐爬向一个山梁,尽管不算太高,但是适值五黄六月,太阳好大,闷热闷热,大家无不汗流浃背,湿透衣衫。唉,驴儿吗,要的就是这个效果,汗,这东西出足出够,没有它就不出了! 在吴沟村里,弥勒佛向老乡咨询过,鳔池很远的,翻过两个山梁就进入一个道路很宽的峡谷,穿过鞍沟村,继续向前再问人吧! 嵩县的山民,自然指向的是嵩县的鳔池村了,我们都在雾里呀! 翻过一架山梁,再翻过一架山梁,进入一条峡谷,峡谷里有一个不大的山村——鞍沟,村民住的零零乱乱的,三户五户一疙瘩,依山傍水,景色秀美。 又是一个山梁,山梁之下有一块很大的花生地,和山民说的相投,也就继续行进了。回头一看,胖乎乎跟在我后面,累得够呛,初次驴行遇住个大热天,也够难为他了。掏出相机,拍下几张照片,就又匆匆前行了。 走下山梁,就顺利的进入了另一条大峡谷,绿波荡漾,风光旖旎,不过,有点累,也就没有心思去欣赏了。 顺着峡谷不停的行进,因为路道平坦,也不是很疲惫,都有点飘飘然了,唧唧喳喳,驴情骚动起来。 不远,就到了另一个叫瓦房沟的村子,时间已经是中午11:30,驴儿们也都累了,没经领队弥勒佛同意,我和几个前行的驴儿就此安营扎寨,午营就在这里了。 天气异常怄热,热的人身上在流油! 在一个山民的家里,走疲了的驴儿开始驻足休整,水龙头里有山民引下的泉水,喝上几口,甜丝丝的,好美! 因为这家院里没有树,火烧火燎的,有点难受,我继续下走,穿进了另一个农家,正屋上锁,屋檐宽宽,核桃树下树荫凉爽,桃树叶间青果诱人。 找一根木棍捣碎蒜泥,下一锅挂面配上青菜,一大碗蒜面条下肚,哈!哈!饱了!从体内到心情,一股温馨的暖流在不断的升腾!屋檐下,几个驴儿又耍起了地摊,锅碗瓢勺,林林总总,煎煎炒炒,乒乒乓乓,埋火造起饭来。 来时带了三个甜瓜,好沉!餐后再啃点水果,好甜! 掏出相机,留下这美妙的瞬间;晃悠浏览,环顾这秀丽的山乡;一不小心,鸡儿叨走了番茄;隔墙有耳,村妇听走了我们的俚语! 又要启程了,弥勒佛找来了准备上山采药的山民作向导。当然,此时已经知道了两个县有两个鳔池村,我们犯了一个方向性错误。 上街的猎户已经走劈了,到瓦房沟村时已经一瘸一拐走不动了。前面的路有多远谁也说不清楚,于是,他选择了退出,沿瓦房沟村继续前行不远就可以见到公路,打电话叫老美来接住,驴途就算结束了。 为了照顾猎户,上街的山人也放弃了随队前行,陪着一起离队。为了减负,巩义的适宜也叫山人和猎户把帐篷带走,大喊大叫着偃师的驴不够意思,没有人主动让她混帐。 事后看来,猎户的选择是明智的。户外活动,必须学会放弃,放弃,也需要勇气,不会放弃,很容易走进可怕的深渊! 如果猎户碍于面子,继续随队前进,我真的不知道,在今后的一天半时间,他将怎样度过,后果将会是什么! 勿庸置疑,由于误入歧途,接下来的行程将充满艰辛和变数,莫测的风险随时都会发生。这一点,我当时就隐隐约约的能够感觉到,因为状态良好,挑战一下也无妨。而随后的际遇,也恰恰证明了我的这个心灵独白。 上山采药的山民是一个40岁上下的中年男子和一个20岁左右的小伙子,他说,可以把我们带进天池山景区,穿过景区,涉过一条漫长的峡谷,就可以跨进洛宁县境内,先到胡地村,再到鳔池村就只有十多里地了。 嗨!嗨!你说复杂不复杂!既来之,则安之,哪怕前面是刀山火海,酷刑油锅,咱也得去闯闯呀! V型反转,继续上山。 毕竟有向导带路,尽管天气更加闷热,尽管一路不断拔高,尽管小道模糊不清,尽管树丛纷纷扰扰,大家似乎吃了定心丸,驴起来还是蛮精神的,速度也在不断的加快。 登上一个山梁,向导指着远山之颠的高耸的发射塔说,我把你们带到塔下,塔下有个垭口,翻过垭口,顺路下行5、6里地,就下到天池山景区的公路了,沿公路前进可以到达景区服务站,到那里再问路吧! 哎呀,够劲!且不说发射塔所在的那个山恁高(后来听弥勒佛说,此山海拔1400多米呀),从我们站的位置到那个山,还有两个一高一矮的两个山头,隔山指山,大家都有点怵咧! “这塔似曾相识,好像我去过!”胡导说。 “我也觉得!”我说。 “想起来了,像是木札岭的发射塔。你忘了,从老幔场看木札岭上的塔,就是这个感觉呀!”胡导说。 “不错呀,那次我们走劈的一塌糊涂,看来,这次也好不到哪里去!”我说。 向导走的真快,不,几乎是一路小跑。我们鱼贯跟随,下山,上山,穿沟,越岭,路道模糊的几乎看不清,树枝扑甩的脸生疼,就这样走走歇歇,歇歇走走,在那个一丝风儿也不遇的闷热环境下,我们来到了发射塔所在的山下。 向导曾经说过,这里上山的路很陡,也很难走,现在我们大家才领教了啥叫牛瞪眼坡。 本来已经是累得七零八落的驴儿,再遇到这大约65度的山坡,唉,你说受罪不受罪?没法呀,唯一的选择就是打起精神——上! 速度是彻底降下来,三步一歇,五步一停;汗水是彻底出足出够了,毛巾湿透拧拧,再湿透再拧;说话的明显减少了,得省的力气,不能作无为损耗;上太白时没有吃完的巧克力、糖果之类,我也一起报销了。 垭口到了,很宽很阔的U型垭口。向导要与我们分手了,上山采药去了,我们一行也该大歇一会儿了。 哈!哈!再看看我们这群驴儿的尊容,要多狼狈有多狼狈,男士都是赤脊巴梁,女士我就不敢形容了,再看看大家的脸,用胡导的话说,都跟用破鞋底子抽过的差不多! 吃点东西,歇歇脚,气儿顺多了。赶紧打开相机,每人来张特写,谁说他不狼狈,我可有照片为证哩!丑就丑点吧,咱丑的气派呀! 驴途还在延伸,片刻的惬意很快就过去了。背起行囊下山,感觉好多了。毕竟一路下坡,很快就走上了天池山景区的公路。 曲曲弯弯的水泥路在向着深山延伸,走在景区的驴儿前后相距大约有一里多地,原因很简单,有人走劈了,有人脚泡了,连著名的巩义恶驴适宜都不由得发出感叹:你们这伙驴,真玩命呀! 天池山国家森林公园,位于河南省嵩县西北部王莽寨林场境内,景区观赏面积4万亩,森林覆盖率98.57%,其中栖息和生长着野生动物184种,植物1800余种,主峰王莽寨1859.6米,年均降水量812毫米,年最高气温28℃,景区山静如眠,绿荫如盖,水清如滤,石洁如洗,是中原地区风格独特的生态旅游胜地。 其实,一路走来,我们也没有看到什么好的精致,可能是景在深处我未知吧! 不过,路过的刘秀藏兵洞,还是让我心中掠过一分惊喜。与景区主峰王莽寨联系起来,可以想象,当年王莽和刘秀这对冤家,在此肯定有一番惊心动魄的交手,至于故事的来龙去脉,不得而知。 当过驴儿的都知道,大马路是最难走的,地面太平,杠脚呀!景区的路真好,驴儿享受不起;景区的道真长,驴儿走得好辛苦! 终于,我们走到了一个游客济济的地方,河水哗哗而下,河畔垂柳丝丝,停车场开阔宽畅,歇息地廊倩座多,众游客频频回首,服务社啥货都有。 放下和血肉混为一体的大包,徜徉一番人间天堂的天池山胜景,痛快! 向景区的人一打听,大家倒吸了一口凉气。从服务站继续前行二里,下水泥路,进入一个名叫洞子沟的十里大峡谷,出沟即到达胡地村,从胡地村到鳔池村大约又是十几里山路。而且,山里人的“里”似乎有点大,往往比度量衡的“里”相去甚远。 此时,驴群里驴情开始有些骚动,走劈的看来不是少数,都希望就此安营扎寨。当然,说心里话,我也很希望就此驻足,因为,从上午8:30到现在下午6:30,驴蹄就没有闲过,基本上也属于走劈一族了。 于是乎,纷纷去向领队弥勒佛提建议。弥勒佛的回答很简单:不行!原因吗,距鳔池村太远,明天白马涧走不完。 我坚信,此时的弥勒佛比别人也好不到那里,但是,他是领队,是驴队的灵魂呀!他如果同意停下,谁也不会说啥,只不过,明天再下白马涧的可能性等于零。 这就是领队的素质!这就是驴队的精神!“放弃”不会轻言,“前进”的脚步不能停下!真的,我越来越喜欢弥勒佛领队了! 再留恋这里也不行,因为这是驴队,不是游团。领队命令一下,是不允许异向思维的,最好的选择是服从! 天色不早,赶路要紧。 毕竟都是一群久经沙场的老驴,无论是男是女,是老是少,没有一个人下软蛋,开拔的号令一下,你看谁比谁走的欢。 公路很快到头,洞子沟就在眼前。 前进!前进!在峡谷中,沿着水边! 溪水哗哗低吟,驴儿沙沙蹄疾,除此之外,什么声音也没有了,寂静的山涧有点恐怖,走劈的驴儿有点心惊。 起初,还可以见到明显的路眼,越往里走,小道就模糊不清了。 我是走在中间的,前后都是谁也记不清了。前面开路的,大概是胡导吧,这驴有点恨路;后面收队的肯定不是洲洲(看来,组织部门肯定受贿了!)可能是胖乎乎吧! 夜幕悄悄降临了,驴儿疲疲的串行着。 弥勒佛提醒大家,拿出头灯,前后跟紧,小心脚下,注意安全! 我真的有点崩溃了,两条腿好似灌了铅,每走一步都是说不出的难受;我真的有点瞌睡了,两眼涩涩的,好想倒在密布的落叶上迷糊一会儿;我真的有点饿肚了,中午的一大碗面条不顶事的,饥的心慌;我真的有点干渴难耐了,从早到晚喝了十斤水,全部变汗出尽了;我真的有点不想走了,只要有一个人提出就地躺下不走,我会毫不犹豫的跟随,管它是草叶还是碎石,胡乱地睡上一觉再说;…… “近期不出来了,本来是出来休闲哩,这简直是在毁身体呀!”不知是谁如是说。 不知不觉,身边不见了水流;稀里糊涂,驴道在不断拔高;你言我语,抱怨之声四起;恍恍惚惚,树丛崎岖难行。 “走错路了!GPS定位系统提示,原路返回!”弥勒佛说。 “不敢再相信GPS了!百米之内有误差,走时不提示,走过了才提示错误。还是下去沿河水走吧”洲洲说。 “唉,房露偏遇连阴雨呀!”这是崩溃背洲洲游记里的一句话,贴切呀! 啥办法?再嘟囔也不中呀!不管爬上了多高的山崖,还得乖乖地都给下来吧! 倒霉呀!我那几十块钱买的包罩,也不知道啥时候,让那飞舞的树枝给挂走了,因为走得靠前,原路返回的时候,我落到了最后,当我发现时,再找已经晚了,心疼呀! 下!下!下!终于见到水了,继续顺河走! 有人提议,真的走不动了,就地宿营吧!——真是心声呀! 可洲洲说:“水不干净呀,有毒的,咋宿营呀!”刚进峡谷的时候,水真的发黄,都看见了。 “让我下去看看!”正好,我就在河边,一扭身就下去了,在一滩水旁,用头灯照着,观察水里的情况。 “扑噜!扑噜!”究竟是青蛙,还是鱼儿,受惊后游走了,我也没有弄清楚,反正有活东西存在哩! “没事,水会吃!”我说。 “就住这里了!可斜坡树丛,咋扎帐呢?”不知是谁说。 也是,连驴儿都站的东扭西歪、高低参差的,扎帐肯定不成! 我用头灯下意识的向河对岸一照,似乎一片地够平。我说:“让我上去看看!” 哈!哈!头灯照住的平地后面是一条小路,小路那面是更大一块平地,扎十几顶帐篷绰绰有余哩! “都过来吧!营地大大地有!”我兴奋的招呼大家。 卸下沉重的大包,伸开眷恋的彩条布,坐在上面喘了好长时间气,吸了两支烟,还是有点不想动。无奈,肚里太饥,开包取出一个大甜瓜,咔咔嚓嚓,一坐窝连皮带蒂吃了个精光,好极! 别人都开始撑帐、做饭了,我还是懒洋洋的不想动弹。临帐的弥勒佛更痛快,饭也不吃,就钻帐睡觉了。 唉!还得做饭呀——饥!简单点吧,开水+核桃奶粉+盐+醋+番茄+两个烧饼,因为出汗太多,光吃甜的可不中呀!嘿!嘿!真的不好吃睐!——硬咽!今生今世这顿饭吃的,空前绝后! 撑帐,睡觉。迷迷糊糊,不知是谁的歌声真好听! 经洲洲提议,大家一致通过,我们把这块营地命名为 “王老大营地”!次日,弥勒佛说,此营地位居洞子沟中央,前后想再找这么大一块营地都难呀!真是踏破铁鞋无觅处,得来全不费功夫,俺王老大也真牛了一把咧! 第二回 坐蹦蹦车翻山越岭,下白马涧暴雨倾盆 这一夜睡得好香! 都6:30了,躺在帐篷里还是不想出来。拉开帐篷一看,不少驴儿都起来了,唉,还是起来吧,弥勒佛说了,8:30准时出发! 洗脸,收帐,做饭。 昨晚睡下之后,飘柔还在咣咣当当的切红萝卜,早餐时请星空炸了两个烧饼,就上红萝卜,吃的还算有味。 临帐的胖乎乎说,与他同帐的弥勒佛早上五点多就起床了,饭也没有吃,就一个人到前面探路去了。唉,当个领队辛苦呀! 小鱼儿和另一个女驴脚上打了泡,剪破,挤净,用创可贴沾了。唉,可以想象,再驴起来,有多难受!([]
有朋友提出将每次更新的楼层贴出来,在此,我将每篇更新的帖子链接发出来,方便朋友们看帖,同时您也可以选择“仅看我?我拿出手机用前置摄像头照了照也没什么呀,还是那张挺干净的老脸呀,事后我就在想,不会是这位姑娘看上我了吧?~?要了一份牦牛排和一杯酥油茶。在等待上菜的过程中,来了一批穿着打扮像是驴友的人,其中一位年约35岁的大哥看到我手上刚买的手链,问我哪里买的?挺好看的。就这样我和他们聊了起来,聊到我是怎么来的,一路上看到什么精彩的风景,讲到高原反应,由于他们是刚到拉萨听得好像还很认真。一路上第一次和人分享这些,感觉很满足哇!接着又进来一对藏族情侣,由于没有空桌了,服务员安排和我拼桌,第一次和藏族同胞坐得这么近,我还有些紧张。这位藏族女孩穿着简单,简单的外套,牛仔裤;而藏族男子穿着就有点花哨了,从进来的时候就看到脚上穿着倍儿亮的皮鞋,红色的衬衣领子周围镶了很多装饰的亮片,手上拿着刚摘下的墨镜,这也给了我一些对藏族年轻男人打扮花哨的印象。但是很可惜,在这过程中我竟然没有勇气和他们打招呼,问候一声(现在回想,如果是让我现在回到这个时候,我一定会和他们聊聊天,当然,前提是他们也不会太拘束或是防范我。)我总觉得藏族人太含蓄,可能不会跟一个陌生的汉人说话,说不定一怒之下男子还会上来给我几巴掌,那我就吃大亏了。事实上,在西藏待了几天后,我觉得西藏人是外边含蓄的,如果你真心和他聊天打招呼,他一定会以同样的方式回复你的!前提是,你需要主动和对方接触。不知道是这牦牛肉不好吃还是水土不服没胃口,现在想起那个牛排的味道很一般,而且牛排是三块,还有一半薯条和其他配菜,一份调料。我现在想起,可能是因为我没有把调料倒在牛排之上的缘故。。。(小爷我也没吃过这样的呀!内地的牛排不都是服务员帮我浇料嘛?!)简单的吃了一些,休息了一下,付钱出门右拐,下午时间充足,最起码要去布达拉宫瞧瞧,虽然没打算买票,但还是需要去看看的。走了不远,发现有一家网吧,想着正好找家网吧处理一下我的相片腾出空间继续拍照,顺便可以传上一些一路上的相片分享给朋友们。。。花了一个多小时,搞定这些事儿,出门走向布达拉宫,出了八角街,走几百米便到了布达拉广场,也挺近。进入布达拉广场第一眼就看到那神圣的布达拉宫,,,没想到这一刻来的如此匆忙,下午2点的拉萨太阳照的正旺,广场人不多,但是一个人工湖边依旧有很多面朝布达拉宫朝拜的信徒,多数是妇女,估计是为家人祈福吧,他们带着酥油茶和干粮,每次朝拜十多分钟就休息片刻。我在一个不远处的草坪坐下观察着他们,心里有些不解,有些感动。。。。坐了一会儿,起身继续闲逛在广场,走着走着便走到了白塔的出口,听说白塔这里有一个很好的照相角度,在一个小山坡上,而这里也被围起来了,每次两元。。。这里也是新版50元人民币背后图案拍摄的角度。拍照的人很多,途中我还帮人拍了合照,而我是一个人来的,肯定要在这里留影一张呀,找了一个和我年纪相仿的小哥帮我拍了一张,任务完成!从这个平台下来之后,继续前行,又逛到布达拉广场里了,口渴了,买了瓶水想着找个地方坐着看看路人呗?一个湖边的长椅上坐了一会儿,来了两位游客,闲着也是闲着,我便搭讪,聊了起来,得知这对情侣是今天飞到拉萨的,直接来了布达拉宫,并且告诉我布达拉宫的停车场那里有一个转经道的入口,免费的,里面挺凉快的,可以去里面逛逛。。。听到这消息,我便道谢后便前往布达拉宫的转经道入口,跟随着稀稀疏疏的游人和信徒走在布达拉转经道上。。。。一路上的转经筒排列整齐,在阳光的反射下格外刺眼。就这样走到了宗角禄康公园,景观湖中的游船上有僧人欢快的玩耍着,这点让我倒是吃了一惊。。。这一天的下午5点左右,准备走回住地的,走着走着发现旁边居然布达拉边的邮局就在这里,索性就进去排队买明信片、排队盖纪念章,花了一个多小时,而这些明信片也都邮寄给了朋友们。搞完明信片的事情,继续游走准备回住地了,但是居然拦不到出租车,只好先在路边的小店吃点东西,继续游走,居然走到了小昭寺,在小昭寺的转经道遇到两个南方的朋友,他们在一个转经道的拐角处拍摄转经的信徒,我也参与进去,倒也拍到了一张非常不错的照片。下图:一位老人面朝墙壁,虔诚祈福。最后,跟着这两位南方的朋友误打误撞的进入了小昭寺活佛的房间,其实我们是被一位藏族阿姨推进去的,因为当时门是关着的,我们也不敢贸然进入,她居然把我们硬生生的推进去,后来想起可能是她以为我们在犹豫是不是应该把自己生活中的不解或者其他的问找活佛聊聊。。。。最后,我顺利的经历了有生以来的第一次开光,当时完全没准备,只能把手上戴着的两个手链拿给活佛,请他开光,感觉非常紧张,手都不知道放哪儿,漫长的几分钟过去了,终于完成了,这位很亲切的活佛示意我们可以拿走自己的手链了,我们才敢伸手去拿,并且双手合十表示谢意,并拿出十元人民币布施,充分表达自己对佛的敬仰。这件事儿做完,已经是下午八点了,天快黑了,,,我只得和两位朋友告别,但是路边依旧拦不到出租车,我只能第一次体验一下拉萨的人力车。如果是在之前,我是绝对不会乘坐少于四个轮子的车,感觉这些玩意儿实在是不安全,事实上这次体验之后感觉——是真***不安全!首先是司机,藏族汉子,那速度叫一个飚呀,前面路口汽车都探出头了,他依旧加速通过,前面两米的位置有人通过马路,依旧从人的前面通过,并且是后面的轮子刚刚好擦过人的鞋子。。。。这样的技术,让坐在后面的我,一声不敢吭!只能是望而惊叹。总之这一次的体验就是惊险刺激,绝对不亚于坐过山车,特别是经过拉萨的小巷子的时候,完全是迷宫,感觉十分良好。。。在在巷子里我居然看到了8264大本营的招牌,让我瞬间感觉到了亲切!!!今儿,更完了。。希望朋友们多多顶贴,字儿都是自己一个一个敲出来的,有兴趣的朋友可以回帖,面对帖子里有误的地方或者有疑问的都可以问问,我都会回复的! 《山南雍布拉康,夜入羊卓雍错》第八天,8月15日一早出发,拉萨天气依旧阳光明媚。今天的目的地是山南地区的雍布拉康和羊卓雍错,雍布拉康是一千多年前文成公主和松赞干布的皇宫,也是西藏地区历史上第一座皇宫;而羊卓雍错则是西藏三大圣湖之一,湖水碧绿,相传这里是由神女散落的绿松石耳坠形成的。一路吹着藏地的清风,驰骋在西藏的公路上。中午12点左右,进入山南地区行驶缓慢,但是路边的风景都变成了大片大片的青稞,这一地区的青稞已经熟了,当地农民忙着收割,如今的西藏人民在收割粮食的时候,都已经用上了现代化的农机作业,看到这景象,我们便把车停在路边,看看藏民收割粮食的情景。一片青稞地里两名藏族男人驾驶着两台小型的拖拉机在负责运输或者是在帮助收割,而其他多数的收割者是妇女,他们普遍的装束都是头戴大的遮阳帽,衣着长袖。这也是我第一次看到藏地农民在劳作,很感兴趣;但实际上和内地农民收割粮食的场景差不多,只是他们收获的粮食不同罢了。下图:正在劳作的藏族妇女继续前行30分钟,到达雅鲁藏布江的观景点,在这里看雅鲁藏布江的视角是比较好的,可以看到广阔的江面,不知道为什么,这里的江水很像长江水,十分的浑浊,呈沙黄色。下图:雅鲁藏布江下午1点35分,我们抵达位于山南地区泽当镇,在一条笔直的公路前方,我们看到矗立在扎西次日山上的雍布拉康,朝着那个方向,很快抵达这个经典的停车场,在车刚停下来的时候,就有几个藏族小孩询问我们是否需要骑马上山,这些小孩子应该都是专业的“小马夫”他们可以熟练的驾驭这些马儿,在上山和下山的路上,我们也看到有当地的小孩子在马还在奔跑的时候就可以上马,并且是上山的路上。谈好价格后,我们三人决定体验一下骑马上山的感觉,而这也是我第一次骑马。。上山的路已经被修理得很平整了,不算很颠簸,一路骑在马背上看着山下的风景和山上的雍布拉康,整个山坡都是绿色草原到今天,我已经在西藏逛了几座寺庙了,由于我是个俗人,并非佛教徒,对佛教的认知还很肤浅,所以觉得西藏寺庙的设施、装扮大体是差不多的,就不详细说明里面的内容了,简单说一下我对雍布拉康的印象:首先,雍布拉康面积很小,建立在一座山头上,山上到处是绿色的草原,而且在这周围没有牛羊放牧,在另一边的山头是挂满经幡的,从雍布拉康的观景平台是可以过去的,只是道路崎岖并且坡度较陡,我们没有过去,看到是大量大量的经幡,说明对于虔诚的佛教徒来说,这样的崎岖道路和陡峭的山头是挡不住他们对信仰的执着的!而从山上看山下,让我想到的第一个词语就是:田园!绝对完美的田园,分割得十分规整的方形田地,已经收割完毕的青稞地,满眼的黄色景象,一篇丰收之后的喜悦之情。在沿着转经路行走的时候,遇到一个小姑娘在出售自己手里的经幡,在理她不远处的一棵树下,地上摆着她的作业、半个馒头、一瓶“尖叫”饮料、用塑料袋装着的经幡,我是很佩服这位小姑娘的,因为她也在靠自己的劳动换取自己的回报,相对更多的人,她是值得肯定的!在做她小生意的同时,也在完成着义务教育,挺好的。由于我不是佛教徒,也就没有购买她的经幡啦。。。下图:雍布拉康集锦楼下还有一图。。 在雍布拉康待了大概有一个半小时,离开这里,开始今天的真正征程——前往浪卡子,距离大概200公里左右。浪卡子县城几乎是被羊卓雍错包围的,虽然路程只有200公里左右,但是到达浪卡子的时候,进入羊卓雍错的观景点,这段距离是需要上山的,这段上路是我有生以来最刺激的上山体验,山路由屈姐主驾,李哥副驾,我作乘客。我觉得日后我可以将山上的那段视频剪辑一下发布出来,这段山路大概走了一个小时,一路上的急转弯数不胜数,角度都极其的大,而且时不时还会迎面来一辆大卡车,而卡车司机是非常熟悉这段路的,所以他们是绝对不会减速的,一路都是吃他们的绝“尘”,而我作为乘客最大的乐趣就是看窗外的山下。。。坡度相对缓一点的地方还会有山羊和牦牛在吃草。而这段经历,我觉得比坐过山车要惊险好多倍。至少坐过山车不会有这么久的时间 - -晚八点半,在最后一丝红霞下山之前,我们赶到了羊卓雍错观景台。我们座驾在此时焕发着不一样的光芒!在红色的晚霞的照耀下,在海拔4500的地方,它显得格外的雄伟!!此时一定要放出它的照片!趁着最后一丝晚霞,我们抓紧欣赏这难得一刻,此时我想起了沱沱河的日出、纳木错的日出,而此时我在西藏的圣湖-羊湖看着它的日落景象,也格外激动!此时的晚霞格外美丽,西边的云朵被染成了血红色,格外壮丽,而它之下的羊卓雍错碧蓝色的湖水依稀可见,周围的绿山依旧在这阳光逝去的最后一刻守护着她;远处的冈巴拉雪山也依旧雪白;看着我们来时的山路,蜿蜒曲折,又显得很身姿妩媚。此时所谓的话语都不足以表现羊卓雍错的壮丽,看图吧!下图:红霞之下的羊卓雍错对于羊卓雍错,我是抱着满足的心态的,虽然我们只有短暂的十多分钟的观景时间,但是我们经历了那近一天最后时刻的壮丽!对此我们毫无怨言,因为这一切都是自然无条件赋予给我们的!在黑夜的掩护下,我们撤离羊湖,下山,前往浪卡子县城,找一家旅社,找个小面馆,吃上一晚热气腾腾的汤面,十分满足;巧遇几名刚到这里的骑行者,他们已经在附近的一家小旅馆订好房间,询问好地址后,我们也去了那里;条件虽然简陋,但此时在我眼里,有张床便是最好的,最满足的!因为今天实在有些累哇。。。《绝美满拉水库》8月16日,第九天:这一天在浪卡子县城吃过早点,我们打算按照当地人指引的路线,前往一个浪卡子的乡间,那里可以走到羊卓雍错的湖边,也许会有惊喜给我们!出了浪卡子县城,转向右边的一条小土路,景色优美,只是路上很颠簸,在一个村子的路口,发现这里格外美丽,犹如世外桃源,田园风光无限,村口一处溪水流过,一只小幼獒在水边认识这个世界,试探着将小爪子往水里放,然后又很害怕的向后蹦跶着;一只大奶牛在一旁的草地上低头认真的吃草,丝毫没有受到我们的影响;在大奶牛的身边便是一户用石头建造的藏民宅;远处群山稀稀疏疏的绿草之上是纯净的蓝天和白云,微风吹过;一边田地里的油菜花还有些稚嫩,还未完全开放,青稞也是绿油油还未成熟;一块农田里,两位藏民赶着牛,在犁地。。。此时,听着流水声,看着这一幕景象,十分宁静,也十分享受。下图:山南地区,浪卡子乡村风情——继续沿着西藏的”村村通“公路深入到山南农村里,村里正在铺设水泥道路,每走几百米都有一个施工点,导致我们的速度严重受阻,但是藏族人民是很好说话的,虽然我们的语言不通,但每当需要沟通会车的时候,拖拉机的司机大哥、大叔,都会用善意的微笑理解我们的意思,并且主动的将拖拉机退后到岸边让我们通过之后再继续他的工作,这也让我感受到了普通藏民的朴实和善良!这样重复了好几次之后,我们终于来到一处可以看到羊卓雍错湖边的地方,将车子听到路边的空地,徒步走进湖边,只是由于修路,在这边上修建了一个临时的混泥土搅拌厂,通过人工挖掘的办法埋设引水管道,导致这里的风景实在不如人意,好在我们也能踏入真正的羊卓雍错。看到远处的湖面上波光粼粼,还是十分喜悦的;在离我们很近的湖面上一群野鸭在遨游于湖水中。。。下图:浪卡子-羊卓雍错一角,在羊湖边短暂停留,我们继续像今天的目的地进发——日喀则市我们的运气很好,在经过浪卡子郊区的一处草原上,看到有几顶帐篷,很多人聚集在那里,我们想凑凑热闹,将车子停到集会不远的空地上。这里临时搭建了8-10顶帐篷,人数众多,帐篷外停着很多摩托车和越野车,看来是一个很大的活动。走近这里,通过询问我们得到允许可以在这里“凑热闹”,原来这里正在举行一年一度的望果节庆祝活动,望果节一般在青稞成熟的时节举行,在开始收割之前的2、3天开始举办庆祝活动,为的就是祈求上天给今年一个好的收成,一个活动会由每个乡镇的村民来充当演员来跳集体舞蹈,跟随着藏族的传统或现代藏族歌曲跳舞,活动会有政府领导、寺庙活佛和很多当地民众参加。让我感到印象深刻的是,每次节目开始之前,活动的主持人有两位,分别是藏语和汉语的介绍,并且每个节目都会由演员来介绍舞蹈的名字和演员介绍,虽然他们介绍的时候用的藏语,我并不理解是什么意思,但我看得出来他们在认真的介绍着,有事还会开个小玩笑说个小笑话作为开场白,引得周边的观众掌声和哄笑一片,十分热闹。演员认真的表演自不必说,他们跳的是集体舞,所以很壮观,由于藏族音乐的节奏感很强烈,观众的表现也很好,都很配合演员的表演。而周围的小观众更是配合我们的镜头,一名藏族小姑娘主动的拉来自己的几个小伙伴儿,来让我们拍照,摆出最漂亮的姿势,露出自己灿烂的笑容。在我们离开的时候,一个帐篷外,一名藏族小男孩一个人骑着自行车玩耍着,我随口跟他打了个招呼:Hi~ 他倒是非常迅速的给我回了招呼:Hi~~说明至少是这一地区的藏民是非常友善的,这里的小孩子非常的开朗,遇到陌生人也是能毫不避讳的和你打招呼,如果他会说汉语说不定还能聊上一阵子呢?!下图:山南,望果节集锦楼下跟帖。 续《绝美满拉水库》在望果节的现场逗留了大概一个小时,我们离开这里,继续前进,向着日喀则方向进发——刚走出不远,路边的蓝色小花儿引起我的注意,都是成片的开放,格外美丽。向前行驶了大约30分钟,就看到了著名的卡若拉冰川,近在咫尺的感觉如此明显!但是又触手不可得,冰川一泻千里让我感觉十分震撼,真害怕它真的坍塌下来,这样我们就会很轻松的被白雪活埋了~当然,我们能看到的只是庞大的卡若拉冰川一角,它的雄伟我们也只能见识一点点。下图:气势磅礴的卡若拉冰川一角。继续前行,广阔的山南、日喀则大地,一眼看不到边际。在这里,没有任何物体挡住我们的视野,群山、蓝天、白云,今次而已。而这里,也是绵延数公里的满拉水库所在地,静止的湖面像面巨大巨大的“魔镜”,而这面“魔镜”呈现给我们的视觉体验是震撼的,它将普通的水,变成了碧绿色,水库边的古老房屋已经坍塌,留下的只有历史的痕迹,只有沧桑的回忆。下图:绝美满拉水库继续行驶1小时,我们到达了江孜县城,这里最著名的的建筑莫过于:宗山古堡。进入江孜县城的时候,我们就看到了远处“江孜宗山古堡”,宗山古堡是以前的县府,类似于现在的县政.府大楼,现在则是江孜的志性建筑,是一处宫殿式的寺庙,很可惜我们来到的时候宗山古堡还在维修,不能进入。只能在广场下欣赏这座历经历史沧桑的古堡。下图:宗山古堡,附一路相伴的屈姐和宗山古堡的合影。十分雄伟-- 由于中午没吃饭,,,在县城里吃了个午饭+晚饭,我们继续出发,前往今天的最后目的地——日喀则市。而一路上看到的景色皆是体现“西藏粮仓”这一称号的青稞地,一大片一大片的绿色青稞,只待成熟收获啦!下午的夕阳十分刺眼,但又十分温暖。让我情不自禁的将收伸出窗外感受这里的清风。终于,下午八点半,我们到达了今天的目的地——日喀则市,明天我们将在这里游览著名的扎什伦布寺,也是班禅的驻地。今日已更新,完毕~~感谢您的观看,如果您喜欢还请您顶贴支持,谢谢! 《游.扎什伦布寺》第十天,一早从旅馆出来,前往今天需要游览的地方——扎什伦布寺,这里是历代班禅驻锡之地,所以它的宗教意义在西藏是举足轻重的,而且也是西藏最大的寺庙之一,在最辉煌的时候曾同时拥有一万多名僧人!如今这里已经是国家级4A景区,供游人参观游览,同时也有数百名僧人在此。而它在后藏信徒的心目中的位置就如同前藏信徒心目中的布达拉、大昭寺!上午九点多,来到扎什伦布寺大门口,整个停车场几乎停满了!看来现在果然是“旺季”呀, 由于是旺季这个寺庙的门票貌似也和网上查询的不一样,贵了好几十块,原本我们想找找当地人,看能不能花点儿小钱,让当地人把我带进去~早上到这个寺庙的停车场后跟当地的一个小姑娘沟通很久,希望她能把我们带进去,因为她家和寺庙仅一墙之隔。。。可是沟通失败,语言完全不通,既然来了,我们只有乖乖掏钱进去了,, 进入寺庙大门,首先看到的就是由于整座寺庙群都是建立在一个山坡之上,所有的建筑的高度都是依次上升的,很有特点,面积最大的错钦大殿面积最高,几乎在寺庙的室外都可以看到它的金顶,在中午的阳光照射下格外的耀眼。而这座最大的建筑给我最大的印象也是非常的耀眼!!!几乎整个二层全是金子的,阳光反射到你的眼睛里几乎睁不开眼,导致你站在它的旁边拍照都格外的耀眼和明亮。。。由于小飞并不是佛教徒,而且提前没有做什么功课,对于扎什伦布寺,介绍的可能不清楚,如果有兴趣的朋友可以去百度百科查查,在这里小飞只能整理些照片给大家看看啦!下图:扎什伦布寺一角由于在寺庙中有好多旅行团的游客,人太多转不开,我们就先从旁边绕到寺庙的背面,原本是打算爬到背面的山上俯视整座寺庙的,但是等近距离查看之后发现貌似背面的山很陡,罢了。就在后面游荡吧,,,很有意思的一个事儿就是:这座寺庙里的普通僧人!就连年纪仅十多岁的年轻僧人手里拿的几乎都是iphone,最次的也是索爱。我们在闲逛的时候走到了一个厨房的门外,几个年轻的僧人在择菜,也不是很认真的择菜,其中两个年轻的僧人手里拿着iphone5玩实况足球,另一个在用索爱手机看着电子书,互相还聊着天,身边还着倒好的酥油茶。。。。下图:扎什伦布寺僧人所谓窈窕淑女,君子好逑。小飞也不例外,在一处阴凉休息的时候,看到美女就拍了几张,分享给各位看客分享,如果有缘,片中的美女看到本贴,又不愿公布自己的美图,那么请联系小飞删除!下接 下午了1点多了,离开寺庙,找地方吃饭,来到步行街,看到这里有一家很清静的藏餐厅,进去了。有几位当地人在吃面条,一桌人在聊着天,当然了,咱听不懂。这个吃饭必须得说说,到现在我都记得极其的清楚,,,我和屈姐都是点了一个藏式炒饭,李哥可能比较饿,他就点了两个东西,一个炒饭加一个“牛肉酱”,点了之后我感觉挺好的,炒饭配着牛肉酱,肯定不错。等了十来分钟,李哥的“牛肉酱”上来啦!下图:这就是我们万万没想到的东东哇,端上来我们就傻眼了,这小碗儿里装着带血色的汤水里浸泡着的就是牛肉,生的牦牛肉哇。。屈姐连看都舍不得看几眼,由于是李哥点的。。。所以他自己来尝试,首先跟服务员确认了好几次,确定这玩意儿就是生吃的之后,李哥直接一大口下口里,看着他表情的变化是由坏变好的。。。我就感觉奇怪,等他咀嚼了大概30秒咽下去之后,给我们的回复是:味道其实挺好的,就是嚼不烂。。。如果有朋友去了西藏一定记得尝尝这玩意儿,它就叫“牛肉酱”是和着糌粑一起吃的。吃过难忘的午餐后,我们在日喀则的步行街闲逛了一下,觉得没有什么意思就开始返程回拉萨啦~~车开到拉萨的曲水县,时间是下午七点半,天公不作美,开始了它的表演,而这时的天空绝对不能说美丽,也不能说温柔。可以和女人极度爆发之后的情况相媲美!下图:暴雨将至,整个天空的颜色从蔚蓝变成了乌黑,就像天要塌下来似的。着实有些吓人。。。晚上八点左右,回到拉萨了,李哥已经让朋友订好酒店,我和屈姐进入房间,他去和朋友喝酒去啦~今天更新到这里,感谢各位!附一张楼主在扎什伦布寺金顶合照大图。。《回到拉萨!》已经是西藏旅程的第十一天了。 8月18日,第十一天。 已经从日喀则回到拉萨,早上起床后屈姐一个人单独去逛拉萨了,她来了这么多天还没有机会好好的玩拉萨的景点,正好回到了拉萨就去了;而我就和李哥一起去东措等大一些的青旅找找他回程的同伴,方法很简单,基本就是在青旅的留言板贴上小广告看看是否有同行者。这样的方式的好处就是李哥可以找到他的同伴,而我又可以找到前往林芝的队伍。。。需要提出来的是:东措、平措等名气很大的青旅有大量的留言,但是上面的留言条有至少一半是隐性广告,内容上说是拼车AA,其实就是旅行社拉人头的勾当。在此,小飞给出一点小小的甄别技巧:1、打电话过去,查看对方的手机号码是否为西藏以外,如果是本地号码那就90%的可能是托儿;2、看看同样的内容、字迹的条子是否有两张以上的;3、如果号码是外地的,那就在电话里问问他,拼车您肯定也会一起去的吧?4、找个地方见面聊聊,总会有破绽的。忙活了一上午,见了几个人有了一些意向,我们就先没管,我们先去西藏博物馆逛逛,了解一个地区的文化从博物馆开始是很合适的。整个西藏博物馆囊括了几乎所有关于西藏的物品,有西藏特有的唐卡展示区;西藏古时王族的王冠;或是权利象征的象牙玺、黄金玺等等物品,整个博物馆从最华丽的物品到普通藏民使用的物品都有介绍。如果您来到拉萨,一定要花上一两个小时来逛逛,里面的很多东西你可能不懂、不了解,但是看过之后还是会有收获的!在此放出博物馆中的展品,里面有大量的象征权力的“印”,也许在很久以前,这样的印章按下一次就可以改变西藏的命运!之后,我们来到罗布林卡,这里是多代达赖的夏季宫殿,虽然这里离布达拉宫仅几公里的距离,但是一走进罗布林卡就很清凉,绝对比外面凉快,这里就是一个大大的皇宫,里面有好几座恢弘的宫殿,而宫殿以外的地方到处都是高大的绿树和花草,所以走在这里的路上几乎没有刺眼的阳光照射进来。罗布林卡的华丽真是瞠目结舌,其中的一座宫殿里达赖的宝座下镶嵌的就是几颗鸡蛋大小的绿松石,一排一排的小钻石,一排一排的珍珠,而整个座椅都是金黄的,正是权利的象征呀!穿梭在各个房间中就可以看到或者基本了解达赖的生活状况,其中一代达赖崇尚西方的生活,所以拥有很多洋马车,我甚至看到了马车的车轴处有减震设计。。而整套的卫生间都是按照西方早期的设计,根据讲解员的说法这些设施都是外国进口的,或许那时候整个西藏只有达赖拥有这些东西吧。整个罗布林卡很大,靠腿穿梭在各个宫殿中可能需要好几个小时。所以我们选择是景区的电瓶车穿梭在各个宫殿中。总共也花费了两个小时左右的时间。关于罗布林卡,富丽堂皇,如果室内可以拍照的话,一定有很多漂亮的照片!由于李哥已经确定了明天就回成都的计划,而他和我一样也没有看过晚上的布达拉宫,所以晚上九点的时候我们两个一起去了布达拉广场,晚上的布达拉广场好像比白天人还要多,可能是因为晚上气温低一些,更加适合外出散步的原因吧。整个广场灯光略显暗淡,用的还是很老式的钨丝灯,照出来的灯光都是泛黄色的,感觉倒也挺好的。晚上这里加强了安保,让我感受最深刻的地方就是在广场的国旗台的四面都有至少两名武警守卫,他们守卫的正是祖国的尊严!而黑夜中的布达拉宫看上去依旧高大雄伟,尽管其他地方都是漆黑一片,但一眼看过去就可以知道那里是布达拉宫,而且夜晚的布达拉宫更加神秘,因为它底部的探照灯在晚上开启后整座宫殿从下至上都被照亮。从广场中出来后,我们决定去看看晚上的布达拉宫转经道,或许晚上那里的风景更奇特,因为晚上几乎没有人在那里走动。而事实也是这样的,从布达拉宫的后面看它,即使是在夜晚,它也依旧神秘和美丽!而且当晚的月亮十分奇怪,可能是因为尘埃的原因月亮周围的颜色是五彩的。可能这也是西藏送给李哥的一个送行的礼物吧,而这一天我过得也很充实,一直在走动,这一次也好好的在拉萨去过了两个重要的地方。也许是每个夜晚,布达拉都是这样迷人;也许是上天送给我们的礼物,让今夜如此美丽。(如果您喜欢这些图片,,楼下放出。)今日更新完毕 夜景-布达拉图下图:布达拉的月亮下图:夜景布达拉宫下图:夜景,布达拉宫后《林芝队友全是武汉老乡呀!》8月19日,第十二天:今天一早李哥就出发了,他最终选择将自己的车从拉萨托运回成都, 然后再和几个人一起租一辆越野车走川藏线回成都,再在成都开上自己的车回宜昌,而从今天开始我们和李哥的同行时间就结束了,而他的回程肯定也有很多故事。而我和屈姐则打算找人一起去林芝,我们不想参加旅行社的活动,打算自己去寻找拼车的人,然后租一辆正规旅行社的车和一个司机就可以了。但是事情好像并没有那么的顺利,从早上我们出发去青旅的留言板查看符合我们要求的留言,找到一个比较靠谱的家伙,自称四川人,但电话打过去居然显示拉萨移动,打过去问了一下在哪里见面聊聊具体细节。对方倒也很爽快的答应了,正好他和他的朋友们在一个家庭旅馆的楼顶喝茶聊天(虽然最终判定这个家伙是个不靠谱的玩意儿,但他和我们见面的地方确实是一个超级无敌的好地方!在这里好好描述一下,他们喝茶地方有点类似于一个亭子,但是这个亭子的四周没有座椅,没有墙面,只是用很透风的布遮挡着,随风飘荡,即可以遮阳也可以透风。因为他这个地方是在一个很隐蔽的巷子里的一家家庭旅馆的楼顶,相当于是一家私宅的楼顶所以非常安静,大家一圈人都是坐在地毯上,中间放着一个藏式的茶几,上面放着酥油茶或者其他的奶茶饮品。吹着风,吹着牛,这种日子实在是仙人般的!) 我们坐下和他们瞎聊了一下,顺便把明天去林芝的细节跟我们说了一下,但听得出来他好像是去过那里或者是很熟悉那里,但处于信任,我和屈姐并没有说什么,然后问了一下价格也很合适,比我们自己租车的费用还要少一点,所以我们就这样暂时决定了。从这个楼顶下去之后,我们倒也挺放松的了,想着总算是完成了这一件大事儿。而这一天是星期一,屈姐要拜财神,我们就去了一个离市区有点距离的寺庙,据说那里的财神是最灵验的(本身我是没有宗教信仰的,但我尊重它,也尊重屈姐,所以就跟她一同去了),由于拦不到出租车,我又一次坐上了具有拉萨特色的人力三轮车,我相信在拉萨这种人力三轮车给拉萨的交通解决了很多压力!我们和三轮车主谈好价格后一路绝尘而去,待到了寺庙发现临近关门时间了,我们便加快速度进入寺庙的主殿,按照当地的习俗走了一整套程序,程序是如何的我就不说了,也挺简单的,几分钟便出来了。出来后,看得出来屈姐一脸轻松,好像所有需要做的事儿都做完了的那种满足的轻松。刚出来一会儿,屈姐的电话响了,是刚才在楼顶见过的那位自称四川人的家伙打过来的,他貌似很焦急的询问着屈姐为什么之前说好的七个人中的一个人电话打不通。 而且这样重复了两次,因为之前约好的朋友电话打不通。。。。这样也让那位自称四川人的家伙露出了破绽,他为什么这么在乎队伍中少一个人或者说为什么要如此在乎队伍中的一个人电话是否畅通呢?于是屈姐让我打电话给自称四川人的家伙,探探他的口风。我打过去之后,直接询问:明天你会和我们一起去林芝吗? 他回复:我不跟你们一起去。。。我:好的,那我们也不去了,再见!挂掉电话,我和屈姐也就都知道是怎么回事儿了,这就是旅行社的托儿或者是旅行社的临时工吧- -,这种人专门在青旅或者游人密集处张贴所谓“拼车”的召集广告,其实就是旅行社的托儿,帮旅行社拉人,赚取人头费的。否则他作为一个需要拼车的人为什么不跟车一起去目的地游玩呢?实在是陷阱到处有,拉萨也挺多呀。。。这样一来,虽然我们成功躲过一个陷阱,但同样的问又来了,我们明天去林芝的计划还是没着落。我们只好又回到了“东措”这家历史最悠久之一的拉萨青旅,正好遇到了林芝队伍中成员之一——小莫,事实上他比我大好多。他就跟我们一起想办法,最后是一家旅行社的美女营业员给我们出了个主意:旅行社里租车肯定要贵一些,因为旅行社要赚钱,司机也要赚钱,不如省去旅行社这一步,直接去找司机租车,可能会少一些!(这主意出自那位旅行社营业员美女,我后来想到,可能是老板不给她涨工资的原因,她这是在报复老板呀,哈哈哈。事实上,我们根据她的提示也成功的完成了这一次的林芝之行!而且价格比旅行社要便宜很多!在此感谢。) 这位美女给我们的建议是前往客运站的外面,会有很多“黑车”,租他们的车去林芝,会比旅行社的车便宜很多。我们从旅行社出来后,屈姐就说,为什么不能在这路边随便拦一辆“黑车”呢?说话之间,正好一辆银色面包车停在路边,我们上前询问是否愿意前往林芝,这位四川的车主很高兴的回复我们,愿意去,那里我很熟之类的。事实上,这两面包车是一个上着临时号牌的新车,所以我们有些顾虑,但也不能随便放弃这么一个机会,我们谈好价格后互相留下联系方式,决定晚上再确定。和面包车告别后,我们在路边交换意见,普遍感觉:面包车不舒适、新车无保险、面包车安全性不如商务车!谈着谈着就看到马路右侧一辆银色的车牌:藏.ALxxxx的商务车缓行驶,屈姐飞奔过去招手停下,可能因为是女士拦车,藏族司机很热情的询问什么事儿,这是一辆九坐的商务车,后座无人,副驾驶和驾驶位都是藏族人。屈姐跟他们说明情况后,司机很高兴的说道:我的车就是旅游车,而且是有高额保险的,旅行社都是让我们去接客人的,你们要去林芝找我最合适,我经常跑林芝那条线,很熟!这样一来,我们就很有兴趣的围拢过去,谈论价格和线路,一切非常顺利,过程也很和谐。这是我第一次和藏族同胞长时间的谈论着某件事,也比较快的习惯了他的藏式普通话,价格我们觉得很合适,和其他几位同伴通电话商榷之后决定就这辆车,并且确定了明早的集合时间和地点后,司机提出需要交一点押金,多少钱都可以。这一点我是非常能理解的,毕竟别人是做生意的,时间就是金钱,害怕明早白跑一趟嘛。所以,我就让他写一个收据或是把某个证件给我,我可以给他500元的押金,这一点他居然想都没想就答应了,给了我他的身份证后,我愉快的递给他500大洋,就这样我们欢快的告别后,这一件事儿就这么办好了!最终确定明早在“东措”接我们,然后前往那几位同伴的住地接上他们就可以出发了!这件事情真正的解决好后,我们大松一口气。屈姐第一时间打电话给另外的几位同伴,她们邀请我们去她们的住地吃饭,她们在一个我们曾经住过的地方,这一个小区很多类似于家庭旅馆的店,环境很不错。我们肯定是满口答应去蹭饭了,,,由于小莫需要和他的同伴吃饭就没有去了,我和屈姐到了那里才发现,三位同伴全是女士,并且全是武汉的。这实在是缘分至极!并且更加好玩的事情是,这家旅馆的老板也是武汉人,在拉萨很多年了,在我们正准备开饭的时候,又有几名武汉的女生,她们刚从林芝返回拉萨的!也就是这里全是武汉人。。。由于她们三人赶时间去看《文成公主》实景剧,我们确定好了集合时间和细节后就离开了,,,这一天的事儿基本全都做完了,我和屈姐也拖着疲惫的身子回到宾馆休息了。明天就是前往林芝的日子啦!对于林芝的评价,有好有坏,有人说那里没什么意思,有人说那里的风景如画,绿树成荫。。。我想,是时候自己亲眼看看这里啦!西藏的后花园,西藏的江南——林芝。 今天没更新什么图片咯。 这天是在拉萨寻找明日前往林芝的同伴和车辆,所以没有图片。。。 《挺进林芝!》第十三天,8月20号。大清早7点半收拾好一切行装,背起我的行囊穿过大昭寺广场,穿梭在拉萨的小巷,前往我们昨日和藏族司机“西洛巴桑”商量好的集合地点,行走大约十五分钟就到了,小莫和他的同伴就住在这里,八点准时看到西洛的车开到这里,开心的和我们打招呼,这时候天已经亮了,太阳正准备升起,我们一行人前往拉萨的“仙足岛”和另外三位队友会和,我和屈姐之前在这里住过所以还比较熟悉,知道这附近有早点可以吃,我们索性就边吃早饭边等她们出来。吃过早饭,三位女队友也都吃过早饭,只是和我们的方向相反,时间刚刚好,我们即刻出发林芝!到这时候介绍一下我们的所有成员吧:1、屈姐:我一路上从宜昌到拉萨的同伴,在来拉萨的路上也是司机兼副驾驶安全员,负责和驾驶员聊天来保障全车的安全(其实就我一个乘客)为人真诚而直爽,很有毅力,一路上都在安排着一些事情,喜欢拍照和旅行。2、小莫:小莫是屈姐在排队买布达拉宫门票的时候认识的,他和同伴是广西人,说话有浓重的广西口音,感觉他很容易相处,林芝的一路上我和他坐在最后排,每当车子经过颠簸的路段,我们两个都是一起在座位上蹦跶,虽然叫他“小莫”但是他比我大很多,但是长得却比我年轻 - -。3、小莫的女同伴:实在惭愧,到现在我也不知道她的称谓,一路上都是喊美女姐姐。话不多,但自己很有主见,在林芝我们三人打算去吃当地很有名的石锅鸡,就是她坚持的,说明她也是个吃货,在选择吃哪一家的时候她的一句:哪家人多吃哪家。让我们倍感强悍!4、三位武汉的美女姐姐们:这三位是屈姐在布达拉广场拍照时遇到的,至于为什么会遇到我也不知道。但是我猜想可能是她们都喜欢拍照的原因吧,这三位是酷爱拍照的,而且相片质量相当高,肯定是经过了长期实践得到的,而且她们拍照全是用手机,运用自如。在林芝路上的欢乐气氛基本都是靠她们三位维持的,她们很活泛,一路上的高歌、欢呼,喊着:one two three 西洛!5、藏族司机:这位司机大哥全名叫:西洛巴桑,我们一路是叫他西洛,因为藏人没姓氏,直呼其名也是对的。 是他让我和我们更了解一位真实的藏人生活的细节,让我们知道了藏族男人比一般汉人更加直接,更加风流;其实藏人是表面的含蓄,真实的内心是很直率、漏骨的;他甚至跟我们说他有好几个情人,他现在最想要的是一个汉族女人做他的情人,因为汉人的皮肤更白。这些话也都是坐在我前面的女士们调侃他套出来的。。。。而作为一路上的司机,他的速度让我们感觉到了藏族人的驾驭能力,一路上不论是刚修的沥青路、年久失修的水泥路、坑坑洼洼的土路、上山的急转弯、单车道的山路,他的速度永远让前座的女士们尖叫,而这样只能更加激起他的雄性激素,速度也就更加彪悍。结合之前在拉萨市区搭乘藏人的人力三轮车的经历,我总结了:藏人的行车速度和技巧绝对是中国一流水平!人物基本介绍完毕,虽然几位美女的名字我全忘了。。。下图:林芝全部的同伴们(很可惜没有西洛的照片(如果图片中的人物不想出现在这里,请联系小飞,立马删除处理!并表示抱歉。))早上八点半左右,我们整装待发,沿着318国道从拉萨前往林芝方向。很快,我们路过松赞干布的故乡——墨竹,由于是“路过”我们也并没有打算特地游一下松赞干布的故居景点之类的,但是在停车的地方有一块松赞干布的雕塑,很多游人在这里拍照留念,我们也不例外,只是我是帮大家拍照的那一位。很有意思的现象就是:这块雕塑的边上,用绳子拴着一只打扮得很漂亮的藏獒,之所以没有它的肖像是因为在看到它之后,我就觉得这里面有诈!并且第一时间提醒着同伴们一定不要用手机或相机镜头对着这只“漂亮”的獒犬。果不其然,在我们准备上车的时候,一名藏族小伙儿从旁边的人堆里钻出来找一名刚刚拍完这只獒犬的游人要钱,十块!一时间我就知道我之前在网上看的那些帖子里写的是真的,对于藏人的私人财产还是不要在没有经过允许的情况下抚摸、指指点点、拍照。。。虽然经过一个小插曲,但是丝毫没有影响我们的心情,这时候早上的太阳完全升起,早上的太阳是红色的,温馨的,温暖的,亲切的;她的升起象征着这一天要开始了,象征着整个藏地开始全新的一天,绿树、青草又在迎接着所有的游人,而青草的生长又吸引着牛羊的啃食,牛羊的茁壮成长又养育着这里的人民,生生不息。。。。从这段旅程的开始,注定了我们在路上的行驶速度是彪悍的,即使有限速站的限制,也挡不住我们的西洛熟练的驾驶技巧,一路上他的左手基本都是在车窗外的,因为车子的档位一直在最高位,他不需要去换挡,左手都是在车窗外感受着一路的清风和阳光,时不时的唱着藏族的小调,享受着他的驾驶乐趣。下图:米拉山口。下图:进入林芝地界,林芝风光:正是因为西洛的速度,我们在10点30分的时候就抵达了海拔5000米的米拉山口,这里最显眼的就是几只铜牛雕像,它们昂头挺胸,骄傲的迎接着游人,脖子和牛角上戴满了由敬畏大自然的人们献给它们的哈达,跟随着满山的经幡,在山口的悠悠寒风中飘荡。这天的天气好极了,蔚蓝天空,白云点缀,寒风吹过,作为蓝天的前景满处的绿草布满所有眼睛能看到的地方,绿山上的高压电塔也见证着国家对西藏的电力建设。虽然它的出现一定程度上破坏了风景,但它可以给曾经无电可用的藏族人民带来黑夜里的光明和接收外来信息的电视信号。而从这里开始也完美的见证了三位武汉美女姐姐的本性——拍照,各种拍照,各种自拍,各种姿势,各种恶搞,各种表情,各种欢乐。。。在远处的我看来,这是如此美好,如此和谐,如此羡慕,甚至不由自主的露出羡慕的微笑。因为我理想中的旅行就是这样,和自己的好友在很特别的地方各种姿势的拍照,各种的恶搞。而我能表现纪念的方式就是——每到一个山口或者是很美的地方,站在那里抽上一根烟,以此纪念,我曾在这里很享受的抽完一根烟。此时想起,我在昆仑山口、唐古拉山口、米拉山口、 卡若拉冰川脚下、纳木错湖边、羊卓雍错湖边、尼洋河边、雅鲁藏布江边都以同样的方式来纪念我的脚步,当然与此同时也给这片美丽的土地增加了空气污染指数。。。我有罪!西洛和我一样,也是一个烟鬼,我和他总是在其他人忙着拍照的时候,在一边相互递烟,边抽烟边聊天,聊着他在路上的故事,聊着他的生活。。。。楼下继续。。 续:挺进林芝上回说到,我们已经经过米拉山口,继续沿着川藏线行进。一路通过米卡山口之后,窗外的颜色几乎都变成了绿色。 从这里开始就进入了林芝地区了,两遍的山和水都是绿色的,由于这里的气候湿润多雨,造就了这里的独特风景。所以这里也被人们称之为小江南! 一路上眼睛都不够看,终于到了第一个下车拍照的地方—— 尼洋河中游的中流砥柱,顾名思义,成语“中流砥柱”的意思是指两江交汇的地方一块大大的石头突起于江水中而屹立不倒,这也形容一个人在团队中能起支柱作用!到达中流砥柱的时候已经是中午12点,下车的第一眼看到的就是尼洋河湍急的河水中间,一块巨石突起于河水中,石头正面刻有:中流砥柱四个大字,虽然这块巨石的四周都是湍急的碧绿的尼洋河水,但巨石的上部分居然长满了绿草,足以说明这块巨石在这里的时日已久啦!虽然狭窄的盘山公路沿河道一边围起了铁栏杆防止游客太靠近,但这一道栏杆又怎能阻挡住游人对如此壮丽美景的渴望呢?幸好,离路边不远的地方就有一处亭子,应该是修来给游人休息和拍照用的,在这里拍人像正好可以将“中流砥柱”作为背景。当然,这个亭子也是三位武汉美女姐姐先发现的,依旧,我帮助她们拍合影,反正我也是闲着嘛。 下图:尼洋河上的中流砥柱!在这里拍完照片,短暂停留之后我们继续出发,沿着尼洋河前行,而一路上公路边上都有一条碧绿河水的跟随,格外忠诚。继续前行一小时左右,藏族司机西洛带我们来到他经常带游客吃饭的一家饭店,饭店最直观的的感受就是——大而空旷,大厅一眼望过去全部都是桌子,没有任何浪费的公共空间!大圆桌一个挨着一个,可见平日这里的生意是如何的火爆。而西洛也跟我们讲了,他是司机来这里吃饭是不要钱的,作为带客人来消费的回报可能饭店老板会给一些分成他。吃晚饭,继续前行,下午的最主要的目的地是前往色季拉山碰运气,如果人品极佳可以在那里看到南迦巴瓦的全貌。只可惜我的人品还没有攒够,到了那里才发现南迦巴瓦峰上面全是云雾,从她的胸部以上全部遮住了,连一点点尖都看不到,等待了十多分钟还是没有任何变好倾向,正当我们打算继续前行去看鲁朗林海的时候天公不作美,大雨倾盆而下。我们临时决定返回八一镇。下图:南迦巴瓦,她始终是羞涩的,不愿轻易露出自己的全貌。下图:色季拉山([

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([]
