记得还是去年,偶然从一个91深夜福利网报道上听说今年,太阳活动开始增强,其实就是太阳表面放射的离子流变多了。 除了磁暴,它本身并不会给地球带来太多影响,估计也就是哪哪的通讯信号被中断,或者突然停电。 然而对于一个摄影师来讲,这可是千载难逢的机会。 为什么呢? 那是因为地球大气层的磁极(也就是南极和北极)的氧离子和氮离子会被太阳风暴干扰而造成色彩斑斓的极光。 小编那个时候就已经有了拍极光的打算,经过断断续续的路线,景点,摄影研究后,北欧极光之旅的行程在今年年中出炉了。目的地大概有4个,主要是瑞典,挪威,冰岛与格陵兰岛,沿着北极极光带转,如果运气好就能拍到。如果运气不好,也能把这几个地方的名胜景区转一转,比如冰川,城市,火山,瀑布什么的。 全程耗时一个月,算是比较辛苦了。因为是自助游,所以时间安排比较灵活机动,但由于机票,交通,酒店提前都已经有了预定,所以也不会和计划的有太大出入。 再来就是会比较费体力,费精力: 车要自己开,没有旅行社的照顾,一切沟通交流基本靠自己,万一路上出点什么事也得硬抗着。 先不废话了,发一组图再说。(如无特别注明,以下图片均为小编原创,独发8264,请勿转载)2. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 瑞典 (基律纳+ 阿比斯库)初遇极光 https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1949117-1-1.html3. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 挪威 (令人伤心的特鲁姆索) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1954266-1-1.html4. 北极极光摄影之旅 - 挪威 (阿尔塔 + 北角)北欧大陆的“最北端” https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1960333-1-1.html 5. 北欧极光摄影之旅 - 格陵兰(努克的极光) https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1973832-1-1.html既然是摄影旅行,相机是必不可少的,行李箱里的其他东西不说,在这先介绍下摄影装备吧:1. 相机: 佳能5D MARK III, PHASE ONE 645DF IQ140套机。2. 镜头: 佳能 24-70mm 二代,16-35mm 广角, 70-200mm 中长焦, 8-16mm 鱼眼。 施耐德 50mm 头,施耐德 AFD Tele-Xenar 180mm f/2.8 HFT PQ Lens。3. 配件: 三脚架, 快门线,相机防寒防雨套。重点!!! 每台相机至少2块电池, CF储存卡多多益善。下面的图片是第二期的预览图哟!! 有极光哟!大家要继续支持呀!初遇极光:https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1949117-1-1.html介绍瑞典之前先说说证, 办 "申根证" , 不用我说也知道对吧?没错,不过去哪办可不是每个人都知道了, 如果你的目的地里包括“格陵兰岛” 那么请你务必去丹麦大使馆办理申根证并注明要去格陵兰。 “什么?? 旅行社和证代理都说去行程里第一个目的地办申根???” 那么无所谓啦,恭喜你格陵兰岛的计划报销了。再次说一次 : 想去格陵兰 ---到丹麦大使馆办申根!瑞典: "欧盟第三大国家,人均收入全球第八,全球第二民主的社会,人类发展指数全球第七,2013年被评为治理最好的国家 和 全球第二有名的国家!" 听起来是不是很屌!!?? 最可恶的是他们男的几乎全超过175cm, 女人随便站出来一个都能当模特!还出了像“瓦尔德内尔” 和 “伊布”这样有名的运动员。 啥?? 你没听说过,好吧,你和我其中一位肯定是OUT了。 (图片转自网络)我坐的是俄罗斯航空公司的航班,到斯德哥尔摩之前会在莫斯科转机,没什么特殊的就是便宜(相对国航和SAS北欧航空)。 不是我在这排挤国航的飞机,那前后座位之间的距离是个180cm以上的人就会卡膝盖,你少放两排座椅会死啊?让大家坐着舒服点嘛! 连菲律宾航空公司都比国航舒服。等飞机之前先休息一下吧,因为是晚上的航班,上飞机后估计直接就睡了。俄罗斯妹子的样子那是没得说的,这空姐有点像莎拉波娃! 但是留的是乌克兰前女总理的发型! (抱歉没来得及偷拍) 看上去非常可爱。不过想想,跟我八竿子也打不上关系,还是赶紧睡吧。莫斯科的机场,算是我走过的第2奇葩的机场了,法国戴高乐排第一,步行从D航站楼到F, 大概花了15分钟,我是来溜大街的是嘛!?? 想起来就一肚子气,估计可能D航站楼全都是去亚洲的航班,而F是去欧洲的。 不平等待遇你知道是什么吗?不是F比D好, 也不是工作人员看人的态度,而是为毛整个机场除了商务舱休息室有WIFI以外, 另一个有免费WIFI的场所竟然是吸烟室!!!??下面那个坐着的短发MM是我喜欢的类型~~莫斯科机场 - 瑞典斯德哥尔摩 ARLANDA国际机场到了斯德哥尔摩以后简单在机场询问了下去城里的交通,为了明天做打算,今晚就住在机场附近了。去城里差不多25公里,可以做机场快线 "Arlanda Express" , 机场大巴 "Flygbussarna" 或者 TAXI, 基本第3个选择可以排除了。Arlanda Express 单程 200多瑞典克朗,周四到周日优惠。Flygbussarna 单程 99克朗 (就选它了)。TAXI 450+ 克朗机场大巴每10分钟一班,上车点就在机场正门,3,4,5候机楼都有停靠站。问清楚以后我就开始找酒店穿梭巴士。 目的地:JUMBO HOSTEL图片为莫斯科机场JUMBO HOSTEL这个酒店是用一架波音747飞机改造的,2008年底开始营业,就坐落在机场旁边,做穿梭巴士3分钟就到了。 一共有27个房间,多数不带厕所和浴室,差不多也就是5-6平米,小的可怜,但是很遗憾房价并不便宜。共有5间公共卫浴室,一间咖啡厅。因为与其他队员不同,小编提前一晚到了斯德哥尔摩。拖着几件行礼,总得找个地方住啊!不然转天的城市游就没精神了。 之前就通过网络查看了阿兰达机场附近的酒店信息,就这间还便宜点。坐着机场酒店穿梭巴士,也就是5分钟左右就到了。“我靠!还真是一架波音747啊!” 前台就在飞机的进出口,但是…尼玛貌似还得爬梯子上去吗?! 走到跟前发现原来有个电梯,我如释重负。 话说回来这电梯有点奇怪,要一直按住按钮,它才会下来,速度比蜗牛还慢! 没有小伙伴的我当时就惊呆了。更神奇的还在后面,进门以后就要脱鞋啦!郁闷了,哥这次没准备拖鞋啊! 前台成人深夜福利视频员还是很客气的,简单登记后就可以入住了,要了一间靠近马路的房间 (大家不要骂我笨,因为另一边靠近飞机跑道,更吵!!!) 走进房间本人直接呆住了,上下铺的床,没有放行李的架子,没有桌子,没有椅子,只有一个窟窿大的飞机窗户,一共不到6平米的地方,连做早操的空间都木有,这是让哥坐牢的节奏吗??打开20寸的小电视,所有频道全都是听不懂的北欧语,逼我去睡觉啊!浴室在飞机的尾部,有3间,唯一欣慰的就是水还是比较热的。这么逊的客房!你们说一晚得多少钱?凌晨差不多4点钟,我被冻醒了,就再也睡不着了,拿着三脚架和相机去开始为这次摄影之旅预热一下吧。虽然才刚10月份,可是凌晨的瑞典还是很冷的,看着东南方的朝霞慢慢显露出来,给这种寒冷的气氛带来了一丝暖色调。架好三脚架,尝试不同的快门速度,和光圈,出来的效果还是令人满意的。jumbo 对面的Radisson Blu Hotel机头被设计成为了一个咖啡厅就是吃饭的场所啦!厨房在机头下面,就是放托运行李的地方。可能在这10分钟内,唯一经过这条路的就是机场穿梭巴士了飞机的翅膀和机身旁边修了一个步行台,走一趟25克朗。 远处的亮灯处就是机场了。来个全身照!我对你的定义就是徒有其表!!!差不多拍了30分钟,我实在受不了了,评嘛别人都在被窝里,只有我自己在这挨冻?老子不干了! 回客房,继续补养颜觉。结果刚进飞机就发现咖啡厅的早餐已经准备好了,也就是烤面包片,煮鸡蛋,果酱啥的,随便吃点吧。吃的时候顺便跟前台的成人深夜福利视频员聊了聊,原来这里只有一个成人深夜福利视频员,前台,厨师,打扫房间,浴室的都是单人负责。几个人轮流负责不同的时段,看样子也是挺辛苦的。吃完早饭又回房间睡了个回头觉,希望今天的城市游会比较顺利。起来结完账就去提前预定好的酒店 RADDISON BLU迎接其他队员了,说得也巧,就在JUMBO的对面,貌似 RADISSON BLU 酒店和SAS北欧航空公司有着千丝万缕的关系,每座北欧大机场外绝对有一间。别怪哥没提醒你,北欧酒店的床是我出国以后见过最窄的,如果你不喜欢睡在只有一米宽的单人床的话,我建议你还是给自己订个DOUBLE BED ROOM吧。安顿下其他队员后,深夜在线福利视频开始了正式的北欧之旅,今天的目的地是斯德哥尔摩老城区 GAMLA STAN,市政厅,顺便拍拍街景。在Radisson Blue 外面就是机场酒店shuttle bus 14路的停靠站。Radisson Blu 大厅里的取暖炉,烧柴火的,还挺有意思。不过后来还去了ABISKO的酒店,自己换柴火烧炉子!!北欧人民非常喜欢阅读,在当今IPAD电子书盛行的时代,他们依然经常捧着厚厚的书本埋头阅读。就好比现在国内,虽然“麦,肯,必”随处可见,但大家依然保持着 煎饼果子,豆浆稀饭的优良传统。Flygbussarna 停靠在了中央火车站的旁边,步行到老城区需要大概20分钟。深夜在线福利视频一行9人只有两位懂英语,初到北欧还是决定大家一起行动比较方便。 连接老城区中央地带与新市区的是一条步行街,外国游客很多,两旁开满了咖啡厅,餐厅和旅游商品店。 深夜在线福利视频漫步在这条街道慢慢感受着北欧不同的文化。这条街道叫Drottninggatan, 通往着圣灵岛。这条步行街上每隔几十米就会提供座椅给游客休息,让我感到了温暖。垃圾箱也是随处可见,在清洁的街道上漫步一点也不觉得累。午餐时间到了,当地人都喜欢坐在外面就餐,这也是饮食文化的一部分吧!?通往圣灵岛的桥,在圣灵岛上有 斯瑞典议会和中世纪博物馆。 图片中央的是 International IDEA (institute for Democracy and Electoral Assisstance) :民主选举学院, 不知道跟党校是不是一回事。斯德哥尔摩的建筑都是5-6层高的楼,很少有摩天大楼。 比较特殊的建筑还有 “爱立信大球” 被誉为全世界最大球型建筑。不过这次本人并没有拜访。是不是风景如画?从圣灵岛开始几乎都是中世纪建筑了,连大门都这么有气势!在连接圣灵岛与GAMLA STAN的桥 - stallbron上回头拍摄, 岸上是“瑞典议会 Sveriges Riksdag"GAMLA STAN The Old Town 就是老城的意思了,这个岛上的建筑可以追溯到13世纪,中世纪的街景,道路上铺满了鹅卵石,北日耳曼的古式建筑遍布在这里。([]

一 2005年我第一次徒步,从哈熊沟到天池,晚上在水磨河边扎营。那时候我还年轻,健若走兽,批鳞带角,行走如风,没帐篷,没睡袋,没防潮垫,一件廉价冲锋衣盖着肚脐眼儿也能凑活一宿。夜里,同帐的驴友呼声震天,我睡不着觉钻出帐篷撒尿,抬头看见满天繁星从远处黑漆漆的雪山后面喷涌而出,在头顶汇聚成河,星光璀璨,如闪烁的原钻,美得让人忘乎所以,尿水洒了一鞋。 早晨,本色大哥指着那座雪山说:那就是博格达峰…… 那时候我对一座冰冷的雪山毫无兴趣。亿万年前,天地玄黄,宇宙洪荒,人类在巨兽横行的冰河时代,仓皇逃离茫茫冰川雪原,在荒芜的冻土和幽深的冰缝前噤若寒蝉,如今退化得没了野蛮的体魄和御寒的皮毛,居然又开始天天梦想着亲近雪山,总让人觉得虚伪可笑。 之后的很多年,我走了很多地方,累了、困了、停下来抬起头,那座雪山总是岿然立在远处,仿佛我故意缠着她,粘着她,一直围着她转。哪怕在城市里,天气好的时候,我堵在外环路上,抬起头,她依然静静的立在天边,对我若即若离,半推半就,搞的我很不淡定。登山界有个说烂的段子,说是有人问登山家希拉里为什么一生登山不止,他说:因为山在那里。这句话很有深意,但是我更喜欢拉条子的版本,他说山确实在那里,但是钱不在那里……。 这两年,我的半月板渐渐开始退化,走碎石路或者下山的时候偶尔的一下刺痛似乎在提醒我,鲜衣怒马,霸气侧漏,纵横江湖的好时光渐渐远去了。夜阑卧听风吹雨的时候,我常常对自己说,是不是该去那座雪山看看了?不管是藏着晦明剑谱还是闯王宝藏,她总该有个让人趋之若鹜的理由罢…… 二 今年端午节,我跟零红蝶穿越恰西-库尔德宁。途中他说,孙老师的博格达后山照片被GTX公司买走了,他很自鸣得意的给那张后来勾引了无数人前往博格达的照片命名为:“三峰并起插云寒”。我告诉他,不管云寒是谁,这个名字都非常之暴力猥亵。对此他很不屑,他说:我拥有的知识岂是你的想象所能及……。于是我识相的闭嘴了,群规第一条:永远不要挑战领队的权威。 坊间记载:零红蝶者,奇人也,脸黑、人瘦,臭屁,喜红衣,好女装,上知天文地理,下懂洗菜煮米,文能识图,武能下厨。携一众疯男癫女,奔走山莽之间,夜宿旷野之下。日行百里不露疲态,帐混数女不越雷池。此君年轻时头顶重发,神似马云,这两年不管脸型还是性格都渐向冯远征的方向一路狂奔去矣。零蝴蝶说,8月博格达五峰连穿,会彻底颠覆你对传统徒步的理解。 于是我不禁又想起孙老师的大作。那张照片上博格达峰在阳光下白雪皑皑,一层薄雾从山脚升起,两个行者眺望远山,画面感十足,宛若幻境。孙老师网名叫米东徒狼,名字狠,但人温和可爱。有次扎营完毕,大家喝了点小酒,就决定歌以助兴。起先孙老师害羞并不愿唱,后来不知道谁唱了首达坂城的姑娘,结果那块硬又平的石头不仅敲开了姑娘的心房,也彻底敲开了孙老师的歌喉,他连唱五首后突然停下来说:小猪,我嗓子马上就要开了……。孙老师跟我说,博格达是要去一次的,哪怕就那么远远的看着她也值得。 不管怎么说,三峰并起插云寒,终于也插得我下定了去博格达的决心。 三 当年傅青主率七剑下天山,拯救天下苍生;练霓裳肝肠寸断,一夜白头独上天山;卓一航,在雪山绝壁苦等优昙花开。武林高手不要脸的地方在于统统无视高反,上天山如上红山,闲庭信步,进退自如。我没有游龙剑也不会凌波微步,临行前还是慎重研究了一下这条纵跃天山的路线:五峰连穿,南起达坂城三个山村,北至白杨河三岔子沟,全程65公里。途径碎石达坂,夜宿登山营地,翻越简单达坂,由于海拔跨度大,草甸、冰川、碎石、河流、雪山、冰湖各种元素一应俱全,好在未来几日显示天气尚佳,穿越难度适中。 我简单评估了一下自己的能力,估计高反应该对我影响不大,但是考虑到膝盖依旧不给力,装备还是谨慎的控制在20kg。除了帐篷、睡袋、防潮垫、冲锋衣裤、抓绒衣裤外,一切从简。提前一天,联系江湖、飞翔、听雨一干吃货共商搭伙做饭之大计,顺带采购了馕、笋子和蘑菇,准备把“将一切线路走成腐败线”的原则贯彻到底。 整装完毕,已是夜半,倒头睡去,梦中又回到那片茫茫雪山,山下练霓裳白发如雪,宛若天仙,她对我说,长相厮守不若相望于江湖,留一点未了之情,彼此相忆吧……,不等我挽留,已飘然离去,消失在雪山之巅。我不禁悲从中来,泪如雨下,高呼:哥唯知徒步,不会登山也!醒来时,枕巾哭湿了一片……。 四 出发当日报有小雨,上车前却一直阳光明媚。夏天、拉条子、老虎,连带天体流两大掌门:南双鱼北不弃,纷纷前来送行,突然感觉如壮士断腕,陡增豪迈之气。和众英雄一一话别后,车一路南行。途径达坂城,江湖采购了些蔬菜和调料,江湖者,笑傲江湖是也,湖哥虽貌似藏民实为回民,次日便是肉孜节,算算江湖已闭关封斋一月有余,任督二脉俱开,体内真气游走,身轻如燕。江湖是有名的强驴,是这次长线的协作,捎带负责照顾两位外地女施主,白天赶路,晚上混帐,不舍昼夜,甚为辛苦。 下午六时许,车至三个山村,众人整装换乘卡车一路向北,小雨终于开始淅淅沥沥的飘下来,车外风大,和尚我被吹得烦躁不堪,挥手猛抽之仍不解恨。柏油路、机耕路都走完,再过几座水泥桥,卡车再无法前行,从这里旅途算正式开始了。第一天行程约5公里,海拔上升400米,算是热身顺带考察体能。零蝴蝶扬言若比他晚至营地20分钟者,斩立决!众驴不敢懈怠,紧随其后,天黑前悉数按时到达2号羊圈扎营。我挑了个上风上水的宝地搭好帐篷,趁着雨还未下大,忙与飞翔、江湖开始做饭。因江湖逢菜必放十三香,大厨资格被弹劾,由飞翔接手。飞翔是恰西就一起走过的大哥,体力虽然不强,但是性格温和,人品一流,厨艺上佳,尤数醋溜菜系堪称一绝。饭毕,风雨渐强,大家各自回帐休息。 夜晚,风雨交加,我扎营时偷懒未绑风绳,地钉扎的也浅,结果半夜大风吹得帐篷左摇右晃,帐内空间瞬间小了一半,我半梦半醒间对形势做了简单分析:一、睁眼看不到天空,说明帐篷还在;二、内帐贴在脸上,想是帐篷八成被吹塌了;三、实在太困,以上两条皆可忽略。遂继续昏昏然睡去矣。 五 次日,风息雨停,帐篷犹在,除了几个挂绳从地钉上脱落之外,还算坚挺。一夜大风之后,空气格外通透,远处的雪山清晰可见。老衲7点半起来开始收整,吃了一碗翔哥煮的奶粉泡馕,昨夜被风雨折磨损耗的功力顿时恢复,丹田一股热浪涌遍全身。9点半准时拔营,沿马道一路上行,今天的行程全程爬升,本来我已经做好了重装爬坡的心理准备,但是真正到背起包,迈开腿的时候,还是觉得有些英雄“气短”,走长线前期的调整和适应很重要,迷失的都市人要走的慢一点,等等自己的灵魂,徒步人则要不时等等自己的肉体,即使灵魂已经飞到了雪山之巅。我放慢速度,调整好步幅,每步都很小,但是不停顿。大约两公里后,我已经超到了零蝴蝶身后。 天山南坡雨水少,草木皆疏,略显荒凉,山里四下静谧,满耳朵都是风声,这是一段相对枯燥的路程,好在雪山就在那里,她让我迈出的每一步都坚定而有目的性。中午在4号羊圈休息,早上一共在山脊上走了8公里。我顺势坐在零蝴蝶旁边休息,他掏出鸡腿和萨其马,然后幽幽的对我说:没有鸡腿的死开,我毫不示弱的掏出牛肉干还以颜色。 搭伙的小伙伴们陆陆续续也到达了休息点,听雨依旧挑选了个大石块立刻躺展,估计是早上的爬升让她不太适应,我看这一路她逢石必躺。听雨是个单纯妹子,体力不算强,但是耐力很好,爱好徒步的女孩都有个共同的特点,就是性格好,这点在听雨身上尤为明显。当初在恰西的泥里蹚了一路,疲惫不堪,走到一个山包,众人指着对面的另外一个山包说,彼处若有人相衬,照相效果必佳,孰愿往?听雨闻言立刻报名,一路狂奔至对面山包,各种瑜伽抛斯摆起……。 听雨妹子热衷于拍跳跃的照片,每次拍之前和尚我都亲自施展轻功示范,但每次照出来的效果仍旧不佳,所以我断言听雨者,不善弹跳。怎料某次我在给听雨拍跳跃照片时,被飞翔抓拍了一张,照片上,这妮子居然高高腾空,姿势甚是轻盈飘逸,方知原来是我不善摄影也,呜呼! 徒步圈的女人分两种,一曰软妹子,一曰女汉子,软妹子全程靠强驴照顾,女汉子全程照顾别人,听雨介于两者之间,勉强算个软汉子吧。但是偶尔的,我神经错乱的那么一刻,会依稀记起赛里木湖边,清晨,第一缕阳光洒在湖畔,听雨站在朝阳下与景色浑然一体,不事雕琢,令人难忘…… 稍事休息,未等听雨把石板趟热,零蝴蝶已经啃罢鸡腿,背包准备出发了。从4号羊圈向左前方走,进入一条布满碎石的山沟,由于海拔的不断上升,草渐渐变得稀少,下午的路线基本就是一条很窄的碎石马道。我左腿膝盖吃不上力,导致右脚脚踝在碎石间很容易扭伤,所以无奈只好再次放慢速度。路线的强度也开始慢慢变大,除了马道渐渐变窄外,爬升也开始了。中途休息,传统穿越租用的马匹从身后超过来,碎石路让他们不堪忍受,马匹可以一直把运行李驮运到登山大本营。 面对眼前爬升200米,角度40度的碎石达坂,这次行程我第一次感觉到了压力。好在经过多年修炼,我已练成了大理延庆太子的绝学“一阳指铁杖神功”,要领是:双杖前探扎地,气聚天府穴,双臂支撑,一步完成。此神功被证明无坡不破,唯一的缺点是速度太慢,没走多久,身后哈密北山羊的几个武林前辈渐渐超过我走在前头。神功未施展几招,抬头发现零蝴蝶居然已经在坡顶俯瞰群驴,一副君临天下之势……。和尚我一想到我堂堂大理皇家御用神功居然不如他零蝴蝶的疯狗式走法,顿时气不打一处来,遂催动内力,手杖扎地犹如捣蒜,一口气爬到坡顶,累的险些一口鲜血喷出,血洒天山……。事后,哈密寒星大哥说,当时我在他身后,犹如狼撵…… 碎石达坂达坂上乃是一道瀑布,冰川融水汇聚于此,奔流直下,甚为壮观。众驴在瀑布顶端休息,我靠在一块巨石上,遥望远方,远处博峰似乎又近了一步…… 七 离开瀑布很快就见到第一个冰湖,8月湖面浮冰已融,湖水寒冷彻骨,湖面不大,但是湖水碧绿,在雄壮雪山的映衬下显得楚楚动人,如果7月前来,这里的湖冰未融,又是另外一番景象。冰湖边有块大石延伸进湖水里,乃是个照相的绝佳地点,众驴纷纷在此留影。此时天色渐阴,湖边风起,让人觉得有些寒意,大家稍作停留便右拐离开冰湖。路程开始变得平缓,但是路况并未有多大好转,依旧是碎石河道,只不过石块更大。如果是丰水年份,河道里是有水和河冰的,今年气温高,冰雪尽融,只剩下一片碎石。冰河的尽头,是一条溪流,今年水小,甚至不用涉水,直接踩在石块上便可过河。 碎石路让我非常崩溃,纵然施展凌波微步也还是感觉小腿发酸,加上登山鞋的鞋带没有系紧,我掐指一算,脚底应该是已经磨出水泡无疑。好在渡河之后,前方的道路一马平川,我继续用狼撵式走法埋头追了两公里,渐渐又回到队伍前列。肩膀酸加脚疼,我开始渐渐有些烦躁起来,翻过一个小山丘,突然发现,博格达峰已经赫然立在眼前……多年前我在西外环路上堵车,远望东南,天片的博格达主峰与浮云连成一体,如海市蜃楼,虚幻缥缈。之后的很多年,一提起缥缈峰灵鹫宫,我脑子里立刻闪现过天边那空中楼阁一般的博峰。我决定,有朝一日,定要直上天山,力克童姥,取了生死符,从此独步江湖…… 如今博峰即在眼前,只是天边流云似铁,雪峰依旧在云端若隐若现,高高在上,丝毫没有因为距离的缩短而放下身段,反而似乎更加遥远威严神秘。我开始有点理解人为什么会在一座雪山面前惊叹、感动、折服、膜拜。人生如梦,白云苍狗,人总要翻过一座属于自己的山峰,你那些曾经的不堪回首、牵肠挂肚、风光荣耀、没落孤寂、生死离别,在他百万年漫长的守望下,犹如沧海一粟,微不足道。似乎翻过山,抛下过往才有勇气再面对漫漫的人生路,因为我知道不论走多远,永远翻不过去的始终是生活。 八 今天夜宿的营地是博格达登山大本营,一块成熟的扎营地,夏季登山协会会在这里训练队员,地势平坦,营地旁有优质的水源,缺点是:遍地碎石,我的帐篷是半自立式的,对于无法扎地钉的露营条件简直是一场噩梦。只好用大石块压住四角固定帐篷,因为无法充分拉伸帐篷空间,双人帐勉强变成了单人帐。江湖当了一天收队,一路基本没怎么休息,体力消耗巨大,几近崩溃,估计有些轻微高反,到营地立好帐篷就钻进去睡了。 我简单考察了一下营地周边环境,营地边上立着白雪小姐的衣冠冢,后面是三个香港山友的墓碑,想想他们魂断博峰,长眠于此,日日望着不远处的雪山峻岭、日升日落,也算不错的归宿吧。营地对面是一个小山包,翻过山包可以看到博格达4、5、1号主峰和山脚下的冰湖,这时候天气已经转阴,山间云山雾罩,三峰不可全见,我坐在湖边的石头上静静等了一个小时,云无散迹,渐渐三峰均隐没于云中。 我走回营地和飞翔一起张罗着做饭,和零红蝶混帐的两个驴友,状况不太好,准备次日和传统穿越的队伍一起从天池下撤。马达把所有吃的悉数贡献出来,飞翔又整了个四菜,大家就在江湖的帐篷里边吃边聊,直至深夜。每次走长线我都很珍惜和众驴友在一起的时光,常有人在群里说这次没机会下次再一起走,我对这种话一般都不太确信,这些年走了好多路,有些朋友相逢一次就再也没见过,浮云一别后,流水十二年,很多东西过了就过了,没有下一次。 帐外突然开始下雨,深夜在线福利视频钻出大帐,准备各自休息,眼前的博峰在一片风雨交加的苍茫夜色里显得愈发雄壮…… 九 一夜风雨,白发魔女和天山童姥均未入梦。早起发现帐篷外全是冰碴,又是阳光明媚的一天。朝阳从山间洒向营地,草石皆金,博峰全貌尽显,此时湖面如镜,雪山投影在水中,浮冰闪耀,美不胜收。当年全真教长春子丘处机道长在天山作诗有云:雪岭界天人不到,冰池耀日俗难观,我能看到这雪岭冰池也算不俗了罢。 吃完早餐,跟传统穿越队伍话别之后,众人沿冰湖向南,走上冰川,逐渐向雪山靠近。今天要长距离的冰川行走和翻越雪山,路程强度最大,也最危险。四百多万年前,博格达冰川形成,巨大的冰川推动着山脚下的巨石缓缓移动,犹如流淌着的时光河流,随着冰河时代的结束,全球气温回暖,冰川渐渐消退,留下巨大的绿色岩石。冰川行走的危险在于表面积雪下深不见底的冰裂缝和冰洞,这个季节,冰川上很大一部分积雪已经融化,大的冰缝都暴露出来,危险降低了不少,一早上数公里的行走,居然丝毫没有感觉疲惫。中午,大部队到达简单达坂脚下,在一处有水源的石堆上午餐。 我靠在一块大石头上仰望海拔4160米的简单达坂,看着云从达坂顶上飘过,拖着七彩光晕,不知为何,突然觉得莫名悲伤。当年简单开发五峰连穿路线,越过4160达坂的时候,大概也是意气风发,豪情壮志,如今山未易,人已逝。这两年不管是严冬冬的英逝还是杨春风、饶剑锋的遇难,总让人不禁唏嘘感叹,也惹得争议一片。在这件事上,我总觉得,一个理性的人,只要明白自己追求事情的危险性,能够接受最坏的结果,那么即使倒在追梦的路上也算死得其所,你可以不认同他们的行为,但是必须保持尊重。 十 吃过饭,我简单评估了一下面前4160达坂的难度,坡度陡、爬升高、积雪厚,应该不像它的名字那么简单,外加早上搭伙的小伙伴们说看我有做强驴的潜质,所以把5个气罐全部塞进我的包里这个不利条件,我认为这会儿不是证明自己负重能力的时候,所以果断把两个满罐藏在石头下面,零红蝶说他日后取来私用。减负之后,也许是心理因素,立刻觉得包轻了不少,很快我跟着零又走到了队伍的最前面。但是走到一半,随着坡度的加大,体重大的缺陷也暴露出来,零走在我前面在雪上踩的很浅的脚印,我一踩立刻没至膝盖,我每一步都只能跪着从雪里拔出脚才能迈下一步。身后的“天气”身形小巧轻盈,很快就超在我身前,我侧身一看,她只在雪上留下一串浅浅的脚印,轻功水上漂啊!只恨自己轻功不佳,就这么一步一跪,如朝圣一般,终于爬到了达坂顶端。 眼前无限风光,茫茫冰川向远处延展,右侧是博格达高耸入云的雪峰,天空蓝的发暗,风过身摇,一时间感觉有点轻微的晕厥。那些阴郁的、无奈的、沮丧的、伤感的、愤愤的情绪在这一刻随风而逝。我开始明白人们为什么对一座雪山如此热衷了,当你靠近她的时候,她的纯净、纯洁、纯粹似乎可以净化你的内心…… 也许是有点忘乎所以,下达坂的时候,我掏出防潮垫,准备坐着直接滑下去。这个壮举被零蝴蝶凶狠的制止了。无法控制下滑速度,很可能会掉进冰裂缝或者撞在前方的石头上,纵然我有神功护体刀枪不入,也难免大伤元气,从此退出江湖。 十一队伍在达坂北坡下休息,等后面的队员陆续翻过达坂。喀什来的驴友“飘絮的风”有些高反,翻达坂对他来说是个大考验,飘絮的风背了五六公斤的摄影器材,所以一路很受折磨,但是走在队伍最后的他还是拍下了很多美不胜收的照片,本帖的照片照的好看的均出自他之手,在这顺便感谢飘絮的风。 大概等了一个多小时,队伍再次聚齐。开始漫长的冰川行走,从现在开始,海拔一路下降,这一段冰川的景色异常壮观,博格达2、3、4、1号峰就在身旁,随便停下都可以拍到雪山美景。队伍沿着冰河前行,遇到横切的冰裂缝,冰河便流入冰缝,有的冰缝被冲击成一个冰洞,深不见底,看着慎人。冰川的尽头又是一片乱石路,听雨才走了一小段就扭伤了脚,好在不严重,稍事休息还可以继续。前一天的碎石达坂,让我总结了几条走碎石路的经验:一、多用手杖,二、不要相信任何一块石头,哪怕它看着很大很稳固,三、两只脚同时踩到落脚点了再迈下一步。按照这个方法,虽然还是走的很慢,但是这一段路程我膝盖没有感到不适。 傍晚,在一处地势平坦的冰湖边扎营,远处夕阳斜下,博格达峰被镶上了一层金边。晚饭本来按惯例依旧由飞翔掌勺我打下手,炒了两个菜后,听雨对我和飞翔每个菜都不放辣椒这件事很火大,所以决定亲自下厨。听雨炒菜的风格属于剽悍型,一个菜用三个菜的肉和调料,手法也基本是降龙十八炒加打狗铲法,虽然看似暴力,尝了尝味道居然还不错。这是深夜在线福利视频在山里的最后一顿晚餐,大家吃完又聊了很多。聊起了曾经的孟克特、冰川壮美的夏特,繁花开满山谷的环博,细雨绵绵的恰西,风雪漫天的车师……。帐外已是浓浓的夜色,天山上,龙蛇笔走,墨泼南溟…… 十二早起拔营,大家沿着冰湖边一路北行。今天深夜在线福利视频就要开始离开博格达峰了,翻过山梁,博峰渐行渐远,深夜在线福利视频已经走到了经典的博格达后山,当年孙老师就是在这里拍下了“三峰并起插云寒”的美图。众人也纷纷效仿,只是少了些魔幻的光线和雾气,怎么也没法拍出孙老师那张照片的感觉,好在博峰壮美,随便怎么拍都是美景。 一路下坡。路况也基本是草地和马道,队伍的速度越来越快,中午在绝望坡下的河流边吃完午饭,接下来就是几公里的马路,身后的博峰渐渐隐匿在山间的松林里,前方是无尽的石子路,走得我非常崩溃。我的登山鞋非常不适应在这种道路上行走,所以我放慢速度,和哈密北山羊的几个大哥走在一起,速度和步幅正合适。 远处村落渐现,我知道旅途该结束了,不管你翻过多少山峰,终究还是要面对生活这座高山。这些年我一直问自己,深夜在线福利视频为什么活着,是为了活的更长?更富有?走的更远?去更多的地方?深夜在线福利视频行走的意义究竟是什么?早些年我看山是山,看水是水,那时候膝盖坚若磐石,大块吃肉大碗喝酒,铁肩担道义,长歌万里行,妄言万水千山走遍。这几年吃了亏,摔了跤,碰了壁,灰头土脸,头破血流,开始变得看山不是山,看水不是水,行走也变得不再单纯,徒步里多了些炫耀、虚荣和自以为是,其实走过多少地方,登过多少山峰并不堪称其为一种资本,不管是腐败、自虐、探险还是玩命,你要寻找的始终还是心里的那片风景,如果不明白这一点,即使走再远也走不出自己的心。可以想象,若干年后我终究会老的再也不能行走,也许膝盖早已置换成了钛合金,以前走过旅程渐渐变成回忆,对此我并不恐慌,因为那时候我也许已经变得宠辱不惊,看山还是山,看水还是水,短锄栽花,长诗佐酒,诗剑年年总忆卿……大合影 最 后 最后说说装备和注意事项,8月博格达山区气温并不算低,所以徒步一般可以穿速干衣裤,遇到风大的山口或者阴天,可以套上冲锋衣御风。考虑到碎石和冰雪路面,全程必须穿高腰登山鞋。有两件事是以前我持怀疑态度,通过这次长线确认的:一是零蝴蝶的长线穿两双袜子的理论,二是零蝴蝶的速干裤外面套冲锋裤的理论,证明都是正确的。 关于睡袋我个人认为10月前上博格达,只要防潮垫给力,G700的羽绒睡袋绰绰有余。 冲锋衣方面我还是坚持我的观点,就是带一件好冲锋衣,就不要带雨披了,虽然群里曾经有高端人士在这个问上跟我有过争论。 最后说说帐篷,博格达五峰连穿除了第一天外,全程营地不适合扎地钉,对于轻量化的半自立帐篷,由于无法用地钉把帐篷完全撑开,所以会损失很多空间,飞溪2在这种环境下只能作为单人帐使用。 负重上,我认为男士控制在20kg以内,女士控制在15kg以内为佳,女汉子视情况而定,至于不离不弃和双鱼这种天体流的负重自然是多多益善。 好了,帖子至此算是完结了,不管你关注与否,走过的路都会成为深夜在线福利视频心中的财富,如梦幻、如琥珀,永难忘。 当年万里觅封候,匹马戍梁州。 关河梦断何处,尘暗旧貂裘。 胡未灭,鬓先秋,泪空流。

童话的世界:魁北克城Quebec City是魁北克省的省府,魁北克省官方语言为法语,省内大多数居民是法国人的后裔,日常语言是法语。因历史原因,魁北克省和加拿大其他地方在语言、风俗等方面差别比较大,省内有些居民希望该省脱离加拿大的管治。1980年和1995年,魁北克省分别举行过一次全民公决,决定是否脱离加拿大自己独立,但都没有得到过半数选民的同意。 加拿大班芙Banff国家公园内弓湖Bow Lake加拿大班芙与美国黄石和澳洲爱象,并列世界三大国家公园。纵贯北美西岸的落矶山脉绵延万里,在美国构成了鬼斧神工的黄石景区,而在加拿大这一段则形成了以班芙为中心的一串宝石般壮丽的景点集群。 加拿大Jasper和Banff国家公园交接处的哥伦比亚冰川Columbia Icefield,面积大约为325平方公里,厚度为100到365米,每年降雪量约为7米。 Banff国家公园内的梦莲湖Moraine Lake,它位于十峰山下,海拔高度为1884米,湖泊面积为0.5平方公里。由于梦莲湖是一个冰川湖,因此只有到每年六月底,湖水才到达最高线,折射沉积的岩粉,呈现出美丽的蓝绿色。 温哥华内斯坦利公园Stanley park,就在温哥华的市中心,也是我去的最多的一个地方了)这个市内公园总面积为6070亩,几乎占据了整个温哥华市北端。斯坦利公园北临巴拉德湾Burrard Inlet,西临英国湾English Bay,是北美地区最大的市内公园。斯坦利公园人工景物极少,以红杉等针叶树木为主的原始森林是公园最知名的美景。 从温哥华到多芬诺Tofino大约需时半天,开车从海天高速公路Sea to Sky Highway前往搭乘渡轮BC ferry,沿途是海天一色,尤其夏季里晴空万里、天色湛蓝,美不胜收。然后还要再开车几小时方可到达。Tofino是著名的观鲸胜地,同时也拥有着壮阔的海岸线。 西雅图里的华盛顿大学University of Washington是一所世界顶尖的著名大学,世界大学排名第9位。华大中的建筑歌德式风格为主,中央广场为红砖铺,又叫Red Square。每到4月左右,樱花盛开,景色更是绝美。正对广场的苏赛罗Suzzallo图书馆是典型的歌德式建筑:众多拱门镶嵌人物雕塑,门柱与窗框上都雕有复杂精致的花纹。这个图书馆是华大里我最喜欢的地方。二楼阅览室的彩绘玻璃窗,在夕阳余辉的映照下会发出淡蓝色的光芒,更为这栋庄严而肃穆的建筑增添不少璀璨的色彩。 薰衣草盛开的时节,这一年,我刚刚到北美。 照这张照片的时候,已经是快要离开了,那一次的郁金香节,真应了“乱花渐欲迷人眼” 初春在温哥华的Garibaldi Provincial Park snowshoe,我爱这种非高海拔雪山,哈哈 纽约,纽约,复杂的城市 旧金山的金门大桥,是世界著名的桥梁之一,是近代桥梁工程的一项奇迹。大桥雄峙于美国加利福尼亚州宽1900多米的金门海峡之上,历时4年和10万多吨钢材,耗资达3550万美元建成,由史特劳斯设计。因其历史价值,于2007年由英、美两国合拍成同名纪录片。上面拍的著名其他电影相当不少,从电影“毕业生”、“X战警3”到“007系列”都在这里开拍。顺便插一句:我很喜欢旧金山这个城市,充满了艺术气息。 美国非著名国家公园之Bruce Canyon National Park 美国Mt Rainier National Park中的Reflection Lake,这个湖名字就是反射的意思,我去的时候还不是最好 加州圣地亚哥San Diego的一个海滩 给我亲爱的虎鲸也放一张,这是在圣地亚哥的Sea World。接下来按顺序给大家慢慢道来,后面还有很多很好看的照片)这次20天横扫加拿大的旅程是在2012年8月完成的,当时决定回国,走之前想带着爸爸妈妈玩一次加拿大。不晓得大家觉得带爸妈出游会是一种什么感觉,那次阿林的经历是很累相当累但是又很有成就感。爸爸妈妈不会讲英文,我设计的行程中那些地方自己之前也一次未去过,需要安排相当详细,从各种交通工具到各种酒店。我爸又忘记带驾照。。。所以自驾都是由阿林一个人完成,最长的时候一天开了快10个小时的车。加上觉得那些代理证的其实都有点黑钱的嫌疑,连爸妈的证都是我自己搞的,所以是真的很累。但是要看着爸爸妈妈玩得那么开心,回去之后还一直回味,却也觉得真的很幸福很值得。作为子女,上学之后一直离家在外,玩的时候也多半顾着自己,户外那种爸妈更加无法参加,却忘记了其实他们也希望去看看这大千世界,更加希望享合家团聚的快乐。这次旅程,涉及到加拿大东部四个城市,落基山脚下三个国家公园以及温哥华周边,为了充分体验加拿大,阿林设计的行程使用的交通工具有飞机、火车、轮渡、租的车和自己的车。再贴一下行程计划:D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)加东7日:D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D3 租车前往尼亚加拉大瀑布(Niagara Falls),当日返回多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)D4 白天游多伦多城市,傍晚坐火车前往蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D5 上午游蒙特利尔老城区,下午租车前往渥太华,游国会山,住渥太华(Ottawa)D6 开车前往魁北克城,游魁北克老城区,住魁北克(Quebec city)D7 游魁北克城周的脉脉含情瀑布(Montmorency Falls)和圣安妮大峡谷(Canyon Saint-Anne),之后开车回蒙特利尔,住蒙特利尔(Montreal)D8 游蒙特利尔城区,坐飞机返回温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)落基山4日:D9 从温哥华开往Valemount镇,住ValemountD10 游Jasper国家公园,开冰原大道(Icefield Pkway),晚上到Banff国家公园,住BanffD11 游Banff国家公园,开弓湖河谷公路(Bow Valley Pkwy),游Yoho国家公园,住灰熊镇(Revelstoke)D12 从灰熊镇开回温哥华,途径鲑鱼湾(Salmon Arm),住温哥华(Vancouver)温哥华周边(都住在温哥华):D13 卡皮兰诺吊桥(Capilano),UBC(英属哥伦比亚大学)D14 温哥华城区,格兰维尔岛(Granville island),史坦利公园(Stanley park)D15 爬松鸡山(Gross mountain)D16 游白石镇(White rock)D17 游马蹄湾(Horseshoe),走West dyke trail,游渔港小镇StevestonD18 经海天公路(Sea to sky hwy)到德国小镇惠斯勒(Whistler)D19 坐轮渡去维多利亚(Victoria),游维多利亚D20 打包行李,晚上去Spanish Banks Beach海滩看晚霞因为温哥华周边有些地方我去过多次,比如史坦利公园、白石镇、惠斯勒、维多利亚等,所以在讲述这些地方的时候,我会把之前自己去过时候拍的照片也插一些进来。在这20天旅程写完之后阿林会把大温地区其他到过的地方也介绍一下,说句真心话,温哥华的确是个宜居的地方,而且非常美丽。先放两张爸爸妈妈的照片,看他们笑得好开心! 提前两个月开始弄爸妈证,买机票的事情,列了一个详细的清单出来,大家如果需要也可以按照这个来整理哈,材料齐全应该都没有问。然后从打包行李到如何安检,飞机上注意事项还有下飞机怎么走,足足写了7页纸。还下载了海关入关表填好让他们带着,给他们打印一张纸写着不会讲英文以备不时之需。 D1 北京到温哥华,住温哥华(Vancouver)坐的是国航CA991,北京时间1550上飞机,温哥华时间1150到,北京和温哥华在夏天的时候是16个小时时差(冬天15个,因为夏天有summer saving time,就是国内说的夏令时)。他们好久都没有出来。。。让我担心了个够呛,而且机场停车费也很贵哦。后来晓得还是语言的问,排队排到那里因为语言问又重新排了个队。其实过关的问很简单,无非是:你从哪里来,你都哪里去,你要去干嘛。入境检查官都是哲学家。开始放两张阿林爸妈的,因为温哥华我实在太熟。。。自己懒得照相,后面的会主要放自己的照片哈)温哥华机场 YVR International Airport,也是人流量很大的。最大优点,离城区近,从我住的地方开车10分钟可达。 后来还看到参加伦敦奥运的加拿大运动员回国,真心很热闹有没有? 加国萌妹子两只,横幅上书:“欢迎回家,我们为你们骄傲”,很有爱。 这是阿林给爸妈找的住的地方,温哥华的家庭旅馆,住得还是很舒服的。我没照那么多照片,就直接拿人家网站上的来用了。这家家庭旅馆名字很汗,叫做“温佳堡”。。。为方便后来人,写地址:7751 Mccallan Rd V7C 2H6, Vancouver, 电话:778-968-2326. 为了证明他们的照片基本属实,放两张自己照的,当时木有点灯,所以比较暗。 D2 温哥华飞多伦多,住多伦多(Toronto)当天爸妈都很累,还有时差,就没做太多事情,第二天早上飞机前往多伦多,这是从温哥华机场出发前。航班:Air Canada, Flight 142, 800-1524Air Canada值得一说,和美国的航空公司百花齐放,于是份外便宜不同,加拿大的航空几乎被Air Canada垄断,导致加拿大的机票真心超级贵!看到这些印第安图腾没?这些就是加拿大的历史文化。。。就是收缴了当地印第安人,再拿这个当历史,说实话,阿林一直觉得很扯淡。再放一张爸妈的,从加东开始放我自个的)([]
你可以很自虐,也可以很腐败——2012年9月尼泊尔安娜普尔纳大环徒步日记 在世界十大徒步路线中,尼泊尔的安娜普尔纳大环(ACT)徒步线路荣登榜首,在全球徒步线路中综合排名第一。 在尼泊尔所有徒步线路中,安娜普尔纳大环沿途的自然景观和人文景观最为丰富,配套设施也最为完善。从海拔800米左右的Pokhara一步步上升到海拔5416的Thorung La Pass,再一步步回到Pokhara,海拨落差很大,一路上的植被地貌种类非常的丰富,从平原的阔叶森林到高海拨的高山草甸,再到寸草不生的垭口,美艳绝伦的雪山,还有那蓝得令人目眩的高山湖泊以及线路西段的荒漠和干热河谷,几乎能将尼泊尔各种地貌都走个遍,还有一路上许多各具特色的小村子和各个民族的居民。垂直高度的变化带来绝美的风景体验——森林、草甸、田园、雪山、湖泊;从安娜普尔纳山脉东坡绕着大圈走到西坡,安娜普尔纳的秀色山峰或荒漠河谷,都成为途中变化的风景,每天都会带给你意想不到的惊喜! 安娜普尔纳地区位于尼泊尔北部,喜马拉雅山中段。安娜普尔纳保护区内高峰林立,有着无数座海拔6000米以上的山峰,其中8000米级山峰3座:DHAULAGIRI(8167M),MANASLU(8153M),ANNAPURNA I (8091M)。 DHAULAGIRI(道拉吉里,世界第七高峰,海拔8167M)MANASLU(玛纳斯鲁,世界第八高峰,海拔8153M)ANNAPURNA I (安娜普尔纳I,世界第十高峰,海拔8091M)MACHHAPUCHHRE(鱼尾峰,海拔6993M)Nilgri North (尼尔吉里,海拔7061m)ANNAPURNA II(安娜普尔纳II峰,海拔7939M)8月刚从巴基斯坦K2大本营徒步回来,9月又匆匆去尼泊尔安娜普尔纳大环徒步,一切来不及准备。第一次没有提前做功课,第一次没当头驴而选择了跟队,除了自己的时间和精力原因,更主要的是没有把大环当回事,连中文版的《尼泊尔》也懒得带,导致最后出现很多意外:被背夫甩在半路,坐大巴也被半路抛弃,错过很多观景点,对每段路程的预计也不准确,上Ghorepani那天还走了1个多小时夜路。所以,希望通过这个帖子,把我徒步大环的经历和体会拿出来与大家分享。你可以很自虐,也可以很腐败,大环有N种走法,这是我走完大环后最大的感受。一、线路的选择1、单纯的大环线;2、大环+Tilicho Lake;3、大环+Tilicho Lake+Poon Hill;4、大环+Tilicho Lake+Poon Hill+ABC(安娜普尔纳大本营)。深夜在线福利视频选择的是大环+Tilicho Lake+Poon Hill,如果时间和体力允许,Tilicho Lake和Poon Hill都值得一去。二、交通工具的选择如果时间不够,可以选择坐车或飞机节省时间。1、东线可以坐车到Chamje再开始徒步,西线从Muktinath开始有区间班车可坐;2、东线可以从博卡拉坐飞机到Humde,西线可以从Jomsom坐飞机返回博卡拉;深夜在线福利视频的选择是有车坐的地段尽量坐车,在风景好的地段选择徒步或停留。一般不建议飞机,一是价格贵,二是不太安全。三、向导和背夫的选择1、沿途线路识清晰,不需要向导,不想负重的可以请背夫。向导价格比背夫贵,优点是可以英语交流;2、行李不多的可以两人合请一个背夫,负重能力强的也可以自己负重徒步;3、如果喜欢腐败,你也可以请一个向导兼背夫的。四、费用的控制1、坐当地巴士比较便宜,尽量少包车,不打的;2、不请背夫,自己负重;3、山上的住宿很便宜,不用自己带露营装备;4、山上吃的较贵,充电、洗澡、热水都要钱。自己带一个炉头和套锅,再带一些快速食品,比如快餐面、麦片、紫菜蛋花汤、榨菜等,可以省下很多钱。五、几点忠告1、徒步许可证(两张不同部门的)随身带,山上有很多检查点;2、买一本中文版的《尼泊尔》,衣食住行上面全有介绍;3、背夫很重要,提前联系好,半路找背夫很困难。还有不能贪便宜,专业徒步公司的比较靠谱,一是负重能力强,二是有职业素养,不会半路加价或罢工。每个人都可以走出不一样的大环:自虐或者腐败;空手或者负重;10天——20天;只走精华部分或一网打尽;全程徒步或汽车和飞机并用;1个人或一群人;10岁或者60岁;花费1000元或者5000元(徒步期间费用,不包括来回交通费用。);但不论你怎么走,大环都不会让你后悔!如果你喜欢雪山或者喜欢摄影,下列是你必去(最好是住宿)的几个地方:1、Timang(2610米),看马纳斯鲁的最佳位置;2、Upper Pisang或Ghyaru(3670),看安娜普尔纳 II的最佳位置;3、Tilicho Lake(5100),世界上最高的湖,雪山环抱;4、Muktinath(3710),初见道拉吉里,有很多村庄和寺庙;5、Marpha(2680),苹果之乡,即使不住在这里,也应该在这里午餐,买一袋苹果,喝几杯地道的苹果汁;6、Kalopani(2530),很容易被忽略的一个地方,这里可以同时看见道拉吉里、安娜普尔纳I和尼尔吉里;7、Poon Hill(3190),世界最佳观景台,看道拉吉里的最佳位置,同时可以看见安娜普尔纳群山、鱼尾峰和尼尔吉里;8、萨朗科(SARANGKOT)或世界和平塔,博卡拉的两个观景台,可以看见道拉吉里、安娜普尔纳和鱼尾峰,都是拍明信片的好地方,最好都去,如果都没去,等于没来博卡拉!下面是深夜在线福利视频特别推荐的几个客栈:1、泰米尔:INTERNATIONAL GUEST HOUSE

在美国很多旅行社都可以报团参加豪华邮轮的旅行,价格和时间是成正比的,如果想游览南极,要报30天以上的团,而且有一定的季节限制。我只是单纯的想去南极,就只能冬天去,先到的洛杉矶,报团从圣地亚哥走,两个城市相距不远,乘车大概两个多小时。第一天的下午提前两个多小时登船,大概五点左右搭乘的阿姆斯特丹号邮轮(AMSTERDAM)缓缓驶出太平洋的美国南部城市圣地亚哥(San Diege)港口,从此我开始了42天的海上漂流生活。人们在甲板上、在赌场里、在歌剧院、在泳池中、在图书馆、在球场上、在歌舞厅、在卧仓里-----度过了第一个夜晚。 阿姆斯特丹号驶离了美国的圣地亚哥港口,围着墨西哥西部的加利福尼亚湾,在太平洋水域中一直南行了40个小时后,终于到达了加尼福尼亚半岛的最南端,这里是此次航行的第一个停靠港。此处是一个小镇——Cabo San Lucas(洛斯卡波斯)。根据当地人的介绍,这是一个旅游开发区,此地居住了许多来自美国和加拿大的名人、有钱人,这里的房价自然就十分昂贵了。 北美人把这里视为度假圣地,也是美国太平洋海军娱乐的天堂,真的如同电影里演的一样。随着夜幕的来临,这里的Night Live准时开场,大约凌晨3点钟之后,那些“滥情”于酒吧里的男男女女们,脱下身上本来就很少的衣服,一丝不挂地互相向对方的身上涂抹cream、互相拥抱、相互亲吻~~~~~~~ 沿海的风光还是和加州的不太一样,有一些当地特色,有个名为情人海滩,估计是世界少有的浪漫去处,许多男女一到这里就双双踏浪前往海滩去享受情人海的洗礼------我,没有情人,刚失恋心情比较沉重,也无心那情人间的浪漫,仿佛这里的一切和我无关似得。一个人慢步于小镇里,享受着墨西哥特有的太平洋风情。 来到海港当然少不了海鲜大餐喽,小镇的海鲜餐馆廉物美,一个人15刀可以饱餐一顿。包括大虾、章鱼、螃蟹和各种叫不清名字的贝类等海鲜大餐。这里有好多高级大酒店,每晚的价钱从200到6000美元不等,还有几个很象样的高尔夫球场,据说也是价格不菲。还是加拿大地大,打高尔夫球也便宜。 我临时充当两个中国摄影协会朋友的翻译,去海岛边上拍些照片,每人花5美元乘小船从停靠在码头的那数百艘游艇穿过,十分钟就到了拍摄点,那是一群巨大的礁石,是墨西哥沿太平洋地性风光。这如果在中国又该被开发成婚纱照的拍摄地了。挺专业人事说,如果lucky遇上好光,在这里能拍到不错的图片,但是深夜在线福利视频没有那么幸运,没有拍到什么。 下午5点回到邮轮,6点起航,阿姆斯特丹号继续南行。 继续上片。和两位专业摄影人士取景,见识到了他们的专业。当船靠岸的那一刻,心里有种莫名的兴奋,本人晕船,接下来的几十天很难熬。 当船靠岸的那一刻,心里有种莫名的兴奋,本人晕船,接下来的几十天很难熬。 早上7点,邮轮准时停靠在墨西哥的Acapulco港口,这里算是墨西哥的一个大城市了,但看起来很落后,脏脏乱乱的,估计和中国90年代初的一些县城差不多吧。这里没有什么人文景观,游客们多数去参加一些水上运动。下午四点回到船上,5点邮轮起锚继续南行。 早上邮轮又靠上了墨西哥南部的一个乡镇港口Huatulco,这里人少比昨天那个城市好玩,深夜在线福利视频一行7人有5人决定租船到附近的海域小鱼村采风。80美元包了一条小船用一天三个人陪游,小船在太平洋上行驶了三个半小时到了深夜在线福利视频要去的渔村,一路几十公里深夜在线福利视频看到了“飞鱼”,海鸟和许多漂亮的礁石。在渔村美丽的海滩上,深夜在线福利视频下海泡了两个小时,在这里的海底可以轻易看到很多各色的海鱼和珊瑚礁。午饭就在渔村的墨西哥一老百姓家里准备的,虽然全是最新鲜的海味,但这些天吃的有点腻味了。下午深夜在线福利视频按时返港,下午5点邮轮启航继续向南。回复 平安福 的帖子会慢慢往上加的,照片好多,太懒得整理啦回复 平安福 的帖子您问的那个“飞鱼”,貌似是什么蝙蝠鱼,是Ogcocephalidae的一种吧,据说墨西哥湾盛产这种鱼。 Puerto Chiapas是深夜在线福利视频在墨西哥境内的最后一个停靠港,这里因民族特色和玛雅文化而闻名。我们的邮轮是临晨靠岸的,当深夜在线福利视频走下旋梯时已经是上午9点了,这里的天气已经让人感到了几分的炎热。今天还是照旧7个人合租一辆车,开出码头管制区大约一个小时,深夜在线福利视频首先到了一处玛雅文化遗址,然后就是去这个城市的中心,这里的市容和墨西哥的很多城市相仿,满街的西班牙式建筑,天主教堂,石头马路。只是感觉这里的市民格外能歌善舞,街头舞者随处可见。在市中心的小广场中间还有一个小舞台,老百姓可以尽情地上台一展自已的舞姿。这让我想起了家里大广场,很多人跳的那种健身Disco,嘿嘿!回复 chen201111 的帖子多谢支持,就是摄影技术菜了点,嘿嘿~~ 危地马拉据说是加勒比海比较富裕的国家,西临太平洋,东临加勒比海。时间紧迫,片刻也不敢耽误,赶紧包车离港,无心理睬晕船的不适。 哥斯达黎加,中美洲沿太平洋最富有的国家,哥斯达黎加国土面积不大,人口也只有400万其中有大约5万中国人。深夜在线福利视频在这个国家的一日游从早上开始,还是老办法包一辆车去所以能去的地方。 哥斯达黎加说是有火山、热带雨林、首都游览,其实没有什么可玩的地方。最后大家选择了去火山口看活火山,我知道大白天去看那山上冒出的一股股的烟气,其实没有什么意思,但是仅有9个小时的时间,实在没有其它选择,到了火山口果然更加失望,海拔2700多米的山上下着大雨,俯视下面的火山口,是白茫茫一片什么也看不见。大家扫兴而归,最后只好在海边溜达了一会,5点钟回船。巴拿马,277万人口,华人约占5%。今天已经是第八天了,早晨邮轮抵达巴拿马,巴拿马城在海平面的尽头升起,早晨天气不是太好,但是仍有一缕缕阳光时而洒落向巴拿马城的高楼大厦,在巴拿马城外的太平洋海域里停满了抛锚等待的大小船只,估计这些都是等待时间越过巴拿马运河进入加勒比海的船。深夜在线福利视频的邮轮不去加勒比海,所以就在里巴拿马城不远的海边抛锚,上午9点深夜在线福利视频登上救生艇离开邮轮,来到了巴拿马城。深夜在线福利视频先到了一个当地的公园,当地华人叫这里“小巴拿马”,这里保留着西班牙人到来之后的最初的西人建筑,包括当年的邮局、小教堂。这处建筑群的旁边有几间树叶搭建的茅草屋,说这是当地土著人的房子,据说在这个国家的东北部,至今还有不少土著人居住在这样的房子里,他们几乎不穿衣服仍然过着十分原始的生活。当地华人朋友告诉深夜在线福利视频,这个国家比较腐败很多事没有什么原则,往往有钱就能办通许多事,深夜在线福利视频的车在一处作临时停靠,警察过来说这里不可以停车,当地的那位车主告诉我,其实如果给这个警察几块钱,就可以停了。巴拿马的社会治安不是太好,有些地区游客最好不要进入。巴拿马运河的通过费用是这个国家财政收入的重要来源,巴拿马政府收回运河管理权之后,巴拿马的城市建设和国力的发展都有了明显的提高。据说巴拿马没有自已的货币,全部使用美元,一位华人朋友跟我说,巴拿马和美国的关系很好,就象美国的儿子,只要这个国家的总统说一声,美国的军队在几小时内就可以开到巴拿马。巴拿马城的夜生活是闻名于世的,但是这个城市很乱,再加上下雨深夜在线福利视频没有在这里耽搁太久,下午在暴雨中深夜在线福利视频参观了巴拿马运河之后就回船了。 这里的天气很闷热。巴拿马运河位于美洲大陆中部,纵贯巴拿马地峡,是一条沟通太平洋和大西洋的船闸式运河。运河全长81.3公里,最窄处为152米,最宽处为304米。从运河中线分别向两侧延伸16.09公里所包括的地带,为巴拿马运河区,总面积为1432平方公里。 根据《巴拿马运河条约》,美国以一次付给1000万美元、9年后每年再付租金25万美元的代价,从而取得开凿运河和“永久使用、占领和控制”运河和运河区的权利。回复 小囡子刘满 的帖子一个人出行或许会觉得孤单些,但所到之处的美景会带来不一样的心情,不过还是喜欢多些人玩,嘿嘿回复 头线 的帖子玩了42天,机票、邮轮加旅行过程中一些乱七八糟的开销总共一万美金,一般能到南极洲,这个价钱还挺划算的,行程不要赶到圣诞节,不然会多出很多开销。一年的9月份到来年的3月份都有这种30天以上的团,可以多玩几个国家。回复 公园赛道之王 的帖子算是奖励自己的毕业旅行,最后一次长假期,嘿嘿。回复 也夜笙歌 的帖子这是42天的团,机票、邮轮加旅行过程中一些乱七八糟的开销总共一万美金。我是在这个网站订的航线https//www.cruise.com/(不是做广告啊),一般9月份以后才有好的团,现在不是季节。这是从美国出发的团,首先得有美国证,看你报什么团,去哪些国家,是否需要证,是在报团的时候问清楚。其实坐邮轮玩,每到一个地方停留的时间有限,出了指定的活动范围,每个国家的政策也不一样,但基本上都可以落地。回复 玻璃鱼沐尔 的帖子是以前的老机子了,佳能EOS 5D和佳能EOS-1Ds Mark II。回复 老辛 的帖子整理照片好头大,我又太懒,每个地方先挑出几张给大家看看,陆续把行程介绍完,以后慢慢尽量多贴图。 一路向南航行了三天,大家在船上的生活也挺丰富,我在图书馆借阅了斯蒂芬妮·梅尔的《暮光之城》,当时这个故事还没有搬上大屏幕,似乎还是当年的禁书,平日里就喜欢看吸血鬼的故事,爱不释手了三天,中间也忘了晕船的事,嘿嘿。凌晨到达了厄瓜多尔,这个国家原本属于哥伦比亚,后来被独立,光看两个国家的国旗就很相似,只是多了只鹰。这个国家是著名的“赤道之国”,国土面积被赤道分为两部分,虽然接近赤道,但由于地处高原,气候还是比较凉爽的。首府基多原本主要为基维多部族人居住,曾被称为“基维多”,后被西班牙殖民者简化为“基多”。在基多城北24公里、海拔2400米高山上的赤道0°所在地矗立着一座赤道纪念碑。这座赤道纪念碑高30米,碑身为方柱形花岗石,四周镌刻着曾到此进行科学考察的科学家的名字。来这里参观的游客们都喜欢在石阶上,两脚平踏在白线两边,摄影留念,以显示自己是脚踏两半球的人。并且到这里游览的人们还可以得到管理部门发的一张证明书,证明其某年某月某日曾到南北半球的分界线一游。我和几个游客在赤道分界线玩起了竖钉子的游戏,由于地球南北极磁场的互相吸引,在赤道线上可以竖起很尖细的东西。据同行的朋友介绍,这个国家好玩的地方很多,而且有丰富的美食还很便宜。生活成本低且气温宜人让这个国家曾称为“全球最佳养老地”。有机会希望可以深度游玩。

四川康定贡嘎山各种形式的穿越无可置疑的是国内徒步爱好者最喜爱的路线之一。它以沿线众多气势雄伟的山脉,连续不断的各种高山景色而著称。我早就为之所动,几年前曾花了近一年的时间在8264收集资料和作线路的准备,并在2011年的6月初作了我第一次的穿越尝试。但最后因高反等原因而未能成功。我为之非常的后悔和懊恼。这个情结一直在我的心上。今年的早些时候,我又萌发了去四川西部背包徒步的念头,实际上是个更大徒步计划中的一个阶段。我因此从国外带回几乎所有的背包徒步行装,并花费了相当的时间作线路上的准备。我于2014年6月25日至7月3日完成了四川康定贡嘎山的单人背包徒步穿越,没有借助向导人员和马匹。这条步行的线路为康定县城>榆林村>日乌且沟>上日乌且垭口>莫溪沟>下次梅村>草科村。全程距离大约为100公里。除了一整天在下次梅村的村民忠一家的休整外,其间共用时七天半的时间。徒步期间天气的基本特征为每天都有降雨,没有固定的时间,时早时晚;而且我感觉在白天里比几年前的那次徒步更频繁。从老榆林村至下次梅村,加上巴望海以东几公里均为人畜小道,令我有点吃惊,尽管每天有不少的降雨,但路面却相当的硬实;偶尔出现的泥潭稍微绕道就能解决。至于沿途的水源和涉水过溪的细节,我将在每天的纪实里更详细地说明。我的背包徒步线路和每天的营地或住地。我在2014年6月23日下午5点多钟搭乘去四川成都的火车。我从南京站出发,第二天中午就到了成都站。我出了成都站后,赶紧往附近不远处的成都城北汽车中心走去,想购买12点钟去康定的班车。幸运的很,车站仍然有余票。国道G318与往常一样,因修筑隧道,在这些地方车辆只能单向行驶,堵车耗时很利害,确又无能为力。这样我又花上了10个小时,在下着大雨的夜里来到了康定县城。我随即在康定县城的哈达客栈住下。在去康定县城途中的路旁。第一天 2014年6月25日起点 康定城哈达客栈,海拔高度2554m (手表读数8380')启程时间 945 AM终点 格西草原,海拔高度3572m (手表读数11720')扎营时间 445 PM当日行程 20公里(+/-)天气 白天多云到晴,夜里小雨~中雨。我的背包徒步线路和每天的营地或住地。我昨晚在康定县城的哈达客栈住下,12点钟以后才休息。我早上6点多钟起来,明显休息得不够。我有意再在康定呆上一天,以消除旅途的疲劳和适应高原的海拔高度,但一早起来看见天空出现的蓝天,不禁改变了念头,决定慢慢地走,去更高的海拔进行调整。既然决定今天上路,就赶紧去超市买一些食品,后来证明是多余的,不过最后都送给见到的藏族同胞了。雨季里的河流水位暴涨,急冲而下,势不可挡。不得不承认,现代的工业能力使得其附近的人类文明得以长期地保存。康定县城依旧很漂亮。虽然有很多现代化的建筑,和外来文化的展露影响,但它在很多方面都非常体现出藏族文化的特色和风格。这个城市的格局,气候,海拔,四周的群山及人文等,一直都是我的喜爱。康定市区中心的街道,广场是我每次必去的地方。对我来说,两次来去匆匆,这里的一切都尚未仔细地探索,觉得很新奇,不知何时才能消除这样的感觉。简短的购物完毕后,在回客栈的路上,抓紧留下一些更多对康定的记忆。我以前没有注意到桥上的一组雕塑。它们具有历史上汉藏民族交流的主思想。此时相对于我夏季每天开始徒步的时间已经很晚了。我知道今天的路还很长,不敢多久留,赶紧回到了哈达客栈,吃了早饭,打点好行装,踏上了去贡嘎山的经典穿越。与我在8264所了解许多徒步朋友的做法不同,我从县城里开始步行,而不是从老榆林村的水电站开始。所以这增添了大概15公里的路途。但从缓慢地适应高海拔的意义上讲,我认为是还有益处的,同时又能省下单人包车的费用。国道G318公路进出康定城的这座桥梁是乎是城郊的分界点。看着天空的乌云,心里开始有点疑惑,毕竟是在雨季里。在刚才走过的右手路边上,碰见了一位昨天一起从成都搭车来这里的藏族同胞。在我打招呼后,他也认出了我来,显得非常的友善。深夜在线福利视频彼此相互寒喧,握手道别。 离开了国道G318后,转上了去康定新城的岔道。我实在被路边正在修建的大型建筑所震惊,到处都是建筑工地。这一带可能是最后一片开发地区。我不是专家,但一直在思考在这多地震的川西地区,从安全角度来讲,修建高层建筑是否恰当。可能我的顾虑为多余的。与上次来这里一样,人们依然在路边放养马匹,但牦牛已经看不见了。显然动物数量上的减少意味着它们的生活环境的减小,和人类的开发活动的加大。此时道路坡度增加,我能感觉到我的行走速度开始有些缓慢,心里明白我的高反已经开始。不过从康定出来的行走是个慢慢的适应高海拔的过程。我的时间还算比较充裕,即使旅途的劳累还没有消除,只要不下大雨,今天走到预订的营地,格西草原应该没有问。虽然四周的景色依然不错,但这一带的土地开发规模却十分的惊人。康定的确是个居住生活的好地方。希望开发者在完成其项目后,尽量地将环境还原其本色。道路两旁的景色很漂亮,不过在天气晴朗的大道上行走的确有些乏味,尤其是日晒皮肤的感觉也来了。我的腿部和手部的晒伤就是从此时开始的。我十分缺智地假设川西雨季的白天以乌云天气为主,即使是出太阳,也为短时间的,紫外线对皮肤的伤害影响不大。所以在启程前的一两天,我决定不携带手套,和通常在这种情况下穿的帖身长内裤。幸好带着条两节速干裤,等到明天扎营时发现自己的双腿晒伤后,便赶紧穿上了。康定新城里的非常具有藏族特色的建筑。 回望康定县城。很多东西现在都在脚下了。环绕它四周的群山此时看得更加清楚。对生活在丘陵地带的我来说,这样的市镇座落是个很大的惊奇。而左手的山腰上的G318的交通清晰可见。我试着去辨认昨晚在哈达客栈结识的几个骑车去拉萨的年轻人,但根本做不到,只希望他们平安走运。康定新城的生活区旁一组反映当年汉藏贸易交往的历史人物的塑像,应该是茶马古道上的各种生活细节。 这俩兄弟的形像挺逼真的,很有色彩。 不小的队伍。好象比实物都大不少,蛮生动的。那石头上刻的字,"西出炉关" 不知意味着是否当年的茶马古道在此结束,再往西就纯粹是藏区了。康定新城的生活区。我在这分岔路口向几个过路人确认了去老榆林村的路。天热,口真渴,但带出来的两升水每时还必须谨慎地控制,不敢多喝。人的皮肤感到太阳的火辣,平时不太注意的我,尽找阴凉的地方走,但我还没有意识到皮肤实际上已经开始受伤了。 在回头朝康定县城方向看去。它已在山粱的背后了。可能是最后能国道G318的地方。还是想说,特喜欢这个被群山环抱的新城。高山前的康巴大酒店,很有异域的风格和特色。其色彩与背景天空调和得那么粉彩绚丽。想不到来自远方的宗教在这里偏僻的地方居然能够出现。这也充分体现了现在国家对宗教存在的容忍和民众信仰的多样化。又是一个密集的居民区和商业点。其附近还有一些政府的机构。这里是康定新城的边缘。我估量着该是午饭的时间,便坐在图片最左边楼前的路旁用餐。好奇的人过来问我的情况。我如实回答他们。我知道今天的饮水很多,便向一家作街门销售的老板们讨水。他们爽快的答应了我,确实给我补充了很多的水。要不然再往前走几十米就出康定新城,以后向藏族老乡讨水就更难了。所以以后若再重复这里过程的话,考虑到天气,气温,和防止高反用水,我至少要带3升水。从国道G318分岔到去新城的路上后大部分为国家机构,店几乎没有。只有新城生活区里沿途才有几家便利店。我非常感谢给我水的老板夫妇。当然出城后也可以去沿途村里的小卖部买水或向老乡讨水。虽然不如上次见到的人多,我一路还是碰见了好几位老乡,非常的好,肯定会帮助解决水的问的。沿途的乡村景色。沿途的乡村景色。 可喜地看到当地的居民也种植一些农作物,以补充食物的来源。嗨,居然还有车站。我想可能是连接榆林村与康定市区的班车。当然还有小卖部,但我没有上前探询,不知是否营业。路边景色第一次提醒我今后的几天里我所大概要见到的。 路上遇见一位才从山里干完活回家的藏族妇女。她很健谈,汉语也说得很好。深夜在线福利视频一路聊了好一会儿,直到她到图片里的这个家,还邀请我有空去"耍耍",用的词汇居然与中原地区的方言一样! 非常朴实真诚的藏族村民!背景为日乌且沟东侧的一座大山。去海螺沟的公路就在它前面的山脚下。我有遇见了一群在地里干活的村民,很多是妇女。在他们朝我看来的时候,我首先高喊"扎西德勒"! 他们也相对地回应了我,随后一阵笑声。他们对外人很是友好。我心里感到若遇上什么困难,他们一定会尽力帮助我的,事实上以后的经历也证明了这点

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