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([]

tourist差不多,不同的是futa还没有英文网站,越南语官网可预定车票和接送点,他们的接送成人深夜福利视频是免费的,接送小车车是奔驰品牌的(一开始看到奔驰志的时候我还以为是哪个傻逼贴上去的,结果居然是货真价实的大奔,我蹲墙角去)...货币:在越南通用货币应该是越南盾和美元,我准备了520美元带过去用于支付房费和防身,在凭祥车站跟私人兑换了200人民币的越南盾,大约是1比3400的汇率(我没数钱,也不知道那人钱给够没,越南盾大数额我会脑乱的,当然也可能是我没认真做货币汇率的攻略的缘故),其余的全是在ATM机器上取现,显示是人民币,取出来就是越南盾,汇率银行自动计算,单笔取现费用貌似是14元,双向收费,我愿意让银行赚我手续费,因为它是机器不会太坑我或者说要坑的话也不只坑我一个人,嗯哼。证:我在淘宝上找旅行社办理,350元,当天办理隔天拿到,速度快,出率高。语言:越南语,英语,大的地方景点服务人员和酒店会点英文,还有不少同志会讲法语,所以准备好英语就够用了,我全程英语,偶尔用法语,急的时候飚中文(当然基本上只有我自己听得懂),也有过画图或者show手机图片的时候~餐饮:清新无油的菜式为主,该国乙肝病毒肆虐,据说乙肝在该国超过50%是病毒携带者,建议出发前一两周在国内医院验自己的乙肝抗体,如果没有乙肝抗体,就在医院注射乙肝疫苗再去,如果已经有很强的乙肝抗体,那你再放心出行吧!以免出国一趟把乙肝病毒给带回来,那就亏大了呀。环境:很多人跟我描述越南的落后,河内多烂,去过之后我倒觉得这些观点有点以偏概全了。每个城市都有繁华整洁的地方也有破破烂烂的地方,即使是上海这样的大城市,在地铁站宝山站(好像是)附近,一样有几十年前破旧无比的烂房子,南宁火车站周边也是残破混乱的样子。河内法国区还是蛮干净整洁漂亮的,繁华高档的样子是出来了的,街边的高大梧桐树形成林荫大道,36街区本来就是老街,破破烂烂的肯定的,我就不说了。但貌似人们就爱看人家的破破烂烂,总觉得那才是人家的本色(抠鼻)然后到处说这就是哪个哪个城市,哎;西贡中央邮局圣母院附近的环境都还不错,正对圣母院门口的那条路走过去,小资小资的,还有城市别墅,范五老街就有点小乱小杂但也还好;稍微小一些的城市,大叻、头顿给我感觉是舒适,干净,整洁,没有疯狂的摩托车,安静美好,岘港就有一丝工业城市的感觉,海边沙滩漂亮、自然。所以,我说咱就不要老去人家破破烂烂的地方然后回来说人家破烂,也看看人家进步的一面--真实存在的一面,当然也别就觉得人家就是天堂了,比起我大中国,肯定是没那么高大上了,不过深夜在线福利视频大中国的土地是国有的,美好基本上也是通过拆迁得来了,越南土地属于个人,自家房子自家那块地,政府可是不能说动就动的呢。住宿:预定部分全通过booking,据说booking定比agenda便宜,我是看中booking不会在预定当天扣款,booking需要银行卡担保,在规定期限内可以修改或者取消订单,除了热门酒店例如安娜曼德拉外,普通酒店可在入住前三天修改或取消,agenda是立马扣款。花费:穷奢结合,12天大约4000元-6000元人民币(若为两人同行,那么按照我这路线人均约4000元人民币),费用大头集中在房费&机票&无奈的出租车费。 城市间交通&住宿费: 瞎扯几句,做攻略前的某晚,我一直在思考去越南旅行的意义,不断自我否定,最后差点就要放弃行程了!仅仅是为了出国,然后到越南各个著名地点走一遍表示本人已到此一游?岂不是跟在中国各个著名收费景点走一圈一个样,本来在国内就鄙视这种玩法,还到国外去玩这种,必须的纯属有病,那不去著名景点第一次出国的你要去哪里你能去哪里你懂去哪里?无聊地走在越南古老甚至破败的街道,感受所谓的本地的原始的气息?以前在在国内很多城市出差都已经做过这样的事情了,可是做过之后你能怎样别人又能怎样,街道还是那条街道,也许和国内的街道没有任何区别,甚至许多国人跟你一样都在这么做,回过后发图发感慨,真有那么多感慨?我估计我是没法再有的。到越南体验在国内做不到的土豪般的享受,海滩度假?即使在越南用自己愿意花得起的钱也能土豪到哪儿去呢,真土豪应该是要去迪拜之类的地方吧。如果花着确实并不算高的价钱去住越南的高级酒店海景房,在国内已经有过不少不错的五星级海景酒店体验了,按照国内的经济水平来看是绝对比越南的要优质的,所以感觉也没有必要。或者说只是单纯地在这个国家走过一圈,不停地走,走完了能走出什么呢?我说我大中国地大物博在哪儿走不是走,非要到外面走。或者说拍漂亮的照片,就我这破水平,能拍出多好的照片,若是拍自己岂不是换个背景拍照而已空洞乏味。在越南追寻美食吃上当地小吃?很多人都会这么说,可是真的很好吃么,可能不见得哦,寻找优质餐厅吃上色香味俱全的美食,也许就是你在国内吃的洋餐差不多吧,说实话在国内也吃过越南食物,也有好朋友是做越南餐厅的,食材简单各种拼凑,其实人们吃的只是新鲜感并非味道,对于金牛座美食主义者来说,可能还是比较不能满足的。寻找越南遗留的法式风情,追寻法国文化的遗迹?以前常常有这样的想法,即便我是学法语的,我对法国能懂得多少?这个小国家又能有多法式?应该先去法国再来这儿找才好吧!在越南寻找商机?以前在脑子里也YY过很多次,越南就是90年代的中国投资都能赚钱,也是传说,而且就这短短的几天自己瞎摸索过去还商机个毛线,坐车走路的时间都不够用。在越南,我可以做什么,我想做什么,我希望得到的效果是什么?成了亟待解决的问,不解决就没法继续了。最后我能想到突破口的是:文化。LA CULTURE, C'EST L'AME DU VOYAGE. 唯有文化,是唯一与众不同的东西,一千个人的眼中有一千个哈姆雷特,我能够解读的东西才是能够独特的属于自己的东西,所谓旅行若是没有目的没有意义没有解读,跟在家里有何分别?此刻恶补文化,才是至关重要的事情啊。纠结完毕,才能继续做攻略,说实话大部分攻略千篇一律这好那好,这美那美,或者这不那么好那不那么好,难啊。我还是没有办法走出自己的一条路线,那我应该如何选择呢?最后我把想要在越南做的事梳理,把每个城市想要完成的事情逐一记下,这才有安心感,先完成任务,其它的交给缘分吧!!详细计划&可能产生的费用:英文比较烂,凑合一下能看懂吧?话说为啥我的行程啥的都是英文为主呢?明明英文那么烂。答案是:5月,8月在越南都发生了较为严重的fa*nh*ua事件,因此我打算不在非必要时刻,尽量不要明显地显示出自己的华人身份,以免给自己带来不必要的麻烦,所以尽量避免满口普通话和随处可见的中文字体,要是因此客死他乡就太不划算了。有人鄙视我,说好好的中国人不做,非要去不欢迎你的国家还要伪装不是华人,丢人!这个问我思考了很久,可是我不觉得自己有哪里不对,但是我又没有办法说出来反驳,很难过,我想可能是大家的角度不同吧,我想我所偶选择的不是一个不欢迎我的国度,但是我愿意去看看他们的状况如何,事实证明他们是欢迎的,他们不欢迎的是部分华人,但是我很可能被他们误认是他们不欢迎的那种华人,而我想要在那个国家做的事情不是去让他们讨厌,而是去完成我的心愿我的目的,在此过程中为了避免误伤,因此适当不表露身份或者是伪装身份以保个人安全。 证办理:可自行办理,也可旅行社代办越南证需要准备:护照1本/两寸照片2张/证费用越南在南宁有驻华使馆,证费据说现在是D35,折合人民币应该RMB220不到。我是找旅行社代办(原因:懒,大使馆来回打车费和材料准备费用估计和旅行社代理价格差别不大。)旅行社:南宁鑫辉旅行地址:南宁市东葛路凯丰大厦B1601(公交车在东葛鲤湾路站or一附站院过去都不远)淘宝链接:https//detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=22424504698&spm=a1z09.2.9.131.UrY8cL&_u=e94gf67e738证费+成人深夜福利视频费套餐:RMB3492寸照片翻拍打印费:RMB10(我没照片又懒得拍,10块钱工作人员翻拍护照上的照片解决)这链接是去过的朋友给推荐的,9月10日上午我拍下套餐,再按提供的便格式将相关信息用Word填清楚,通过阿里旺旺发给客服,下午把护照送到接收点凯丰大厦B1601,9月12日上午便收到短信说证已出。速度超乎意料,靠谱,推荐。我的人生中的第一个证下来了,Vietnam,就是不知道为啥证不在第一页,而是放到中间页。我提供的处境日期是9月30日,返回10月12日,结果旅行社操作变成了validfrom 30/09/2014 until 30/10/2014,不过我想这并不是坏事。提醒:务必提前想好入境日期和出境日期,在便上仔细填写,如果需要修改,一定通过旺旺,建议确认两遍。后期打电话更改虽然显得速度很快,但是没有聊天记录依据,工作人员在办理众多证过程中很容易遗忘,那么悲剧的还是你。(我在送护照的时候遇到一个外地的妹子就是电话更改的,结果工作人员是按照旺旺聊天记录提及的时间办理的,结果…不过出了这事工作人员倒是积极联系相关人员寻求更改的可能性,不过结果如何我就不得而知了) 国际往返陆路交通(我在车站直接要的最新版本):如何购买BUS票?只说琅东站的:带上你的护照,到琅东客运站任何窗口都能购买,而且可以提前购买,至于提前几天我没问。票价168元,保险10元,合计178元,时长6-8小时。除了直通车,其它都是在凭祥过海关之后换当地巴士,巴士乘务员会说点中文的。如何购买火车票?带上你的护照,到南宁火车站退票窗口购买(要不然就是国际售票窗口,我记不清了),可以提前购买,提前几天我不清楚,因为9月28日去买9月30日的票已经卖完了,票价貌似是220,河内到南宁貌似是要贵一点,时长大概是10小时左右。火车是咱中国的列车,乘务员都是中国人,听说边境检验的工作人员也跟在列车上的哦~到凭祥的时候他们也下车然后进行边检。 货币兑换:中国银行兑换美元,到越南兑换越南盾(银行、货币兑换点、酒店、珠宝店兑换)保险购买:https//www.mafengwo.cn/insure/chujing-1369981039396.html出租车:MaiLinh Taxi 38383838Vinasun Taxi 38272727据说这两家一定是正规的,选择他们就等于选择了一份安全保障哦 还有什么信息补充么?想不起来了,先上主要内容吧。河内 Ha noi--政治中心,城市景观我乘坐早上10点南宁琅东汽车站出发的国际巴士,下午6-7点到达河内(河内时间,比北京时间早1个小时),车子停在红河酒店门口,下车有许多人在那拉客。琅东汽车站有国际候车室,环境不错,国庆第一天琅东站里人山人海站都不够站的,国际候车室的优势就体现出来了,有座位还是软座还有动画片看。到达河内有个约好的,之前见过一面的学生妹妹来接我。见面后相互确认然后离开下车的区域,向前走了一段路才蓝了出租车先去酒店,酒店位于教堂附近。话说这个妹子是个广西民族学院的学生,申请到河内某知名大学学习,也是刚到河内不久,越南话还说不顺溜,深夜在线福利视频彼此不熟,是朋友的朋友的朋友,知道我要来河内就给深夜在线福利视频介绍了,然后妹子热情地来接我准备趁着她的周末带我逛逛河内。见面不多客套,直奔主:酒店。哈哈。在酒店办理入住后放好行李便出门寻找食物,路过教堂时月正悬挂在教堂之上,让我想起了吸血鬼日记,氛围诡异,听说这个教堂平时阴森,出过很多灵异的故事。 著名的还剑湖距离教堂和酒店仅数百米。还剑湖确实十分迷你,或许和国内一所大学里的小湖差不多大甚至没那么大,而比起南宁的南湖公园,十分之一不到吧。红色小桥位于湖上,桥的另一面是一个小小的景点,收费,没进去,目测是道观寺庙祭司一类地。 街道,冒着被突如其来的小车车撞死的危险站在路中央拍的,还好车不多。路旁是生长了多年的法国梧桐,形成林荫大道。 教堂附近某个地方,这大哥的手势真逗~我总觉得哪里不对劲,看着看着我就乐了... 越南春卷,spring rolls,店家这英文翻译得实在是简单明了啊。越南春卷大致分为炸春卷和春卷两种,普通春卷里面会有虾仁或者牛肉,加点黄瓜之类的生蔬卷起来吃,旁边给你配上一碗鱼露沾着吃,通常大家还会再点一杯冰茶或者柠檬冰茶搭配一下,我这点的是柠檬汁lemon juice 25千越南盾。图一这家店就在教堂侧面的一条小街道上,这里聚集着许多外国人,各种旅馆、餐馆、咖啡吧、酒吧、旅行社,热闹非凡。我没记下店名,味道还可以,价格偏高,西方人吃的多。还有一家是越南本地人很爱的一家店,小摊铺在路边,正面对着教堂门口,右手边九十度那条街走进去,大约50米,左边,你会看见有很多人的一家店,那里的春卷是炸的,炸春卷,价格实惠味道很好,估计只有第一家店铺的一半不到价格,冰茶大约3元人民币(越南盾10千盾),春卷1份25千盾,一个人一炸春卷一冰茶就够了,一般他们都送一盘杂蔬,有生菜、薄荷叶,还有不知道名字的,胃大的嘴巴馋的除外~可以随便点,花不了多少钱,老板会说一点点英文的,她懂的。不过,听说这些蔬菜-----是重复利用的,明白不?可能每一家都这样吧。 河内的法国区环境还不错,建议各位除了迷失在36街,也到法国区迷失一下,会有不同感受的。在一家看起来很像卖古董表老店看到两个手表很可爱,那朵花的是120美元一个,看牌子是欧米茄的,老板说可以便宜点100美元,我估摸着欧米茄不能这么便宜吧就没下手,虽然样子我蛮喜欢的。后来听朋友说越南仿古手表很出名,我就庆幸自己没有冲动。 河内历史博物馆,里面有许多珍贵的占婆遗址带回来的藏品,值得一去,票价好像是40千盾,十几块人民币。 镇馆之宝:木雕,数百数千年不坏 占婆国,赤裸裸的XX器崇拜的国家,不解释。知识普及:公元初的几百年,在越南中部某个区域生活着一个名为占婆的民族,正是他们创造了显赫一时的占婆文化。千年之后,这种文化依然能够通过尚存的占婆庙塔建筑艺术呈现于世人面前。据以往一些专家研究并公布的资料表明,占婆庙塔的建造始于7世纪末并延续到17世纪初。占婆人在9世纪时创造了大量的庙塔建筑、城堡建筑和雕刻作品,观留存至今的庙塔建筑遗迹群有20余处,是越南传统文化的重要组成部分。由于占婆庙塔建筑在各方面的杰出成就和特殊意义,位于越南广南省维川县维富乡的美山(My son)地区的占婆庙塔建筑遗迹已被列入《世界遗产名录》。1868年,法国人发现了柬埔寨建筑群,随后在1898年他们又发现了越南占婆民族的美山遗迹区。美山的占婆庙塔精美绝伦,建筑中还包含有极具艺术价值的石雕作品。占婆(champa),东南亚的古国之一,与扶南(funan,今柬埔寨)一样是最早有史可考的国家。领土的范围大概在越南的中南部,也就是汉朝所建的日南郡的大部。 其居民主体是源自印度族的占族人(至今尚未完全被越人同化,是越南和柬埔寨的一个少数民族),所以受印度文化的影响极深,一度信仰婆罗门教。考古资料显示,湿婆神(婆罗门教的主神之一)在那里受到了广泛的崇拜。占婆国公元一世纪末从东汉政权治下独立后,北与中国各王朝,南与柬埔寨各王国长期交战,没有落什么大下风。但是安南人兴起之后,占婆人却在和他们胶着几百年后逐渐被蚕食,出了几个想振作的国君,也只是输得更惨。最终在安南后黎朝黎圣宗亲征下彻底瓦解,沦为安南的属国,并最终悄无声息的被越南人同化。这个古国的存在时间,几乎有一千五百年,其情形和拜占庭帝国颇为类似。冯承钧先生说,一部越南史,实一部越占交争史。随后我还要到岘港去一趟占婆文化遗址--美山 越南著名的"客先死",嘿嘿,我看了看,没敢坐,怕一个不小心自己先给挂了~~~“客先死”现在不是特别多,我在河内兜过好几圈,这是我见到的“客先死”最集中的地方,大部分乘客是金发碧眼的西方人。 位于法国区的河内剧院,OPERA,里面好像还有不错的酒吧(餐厅),旁边是一家占地面积较广的咖啡屋,露天的,很多西方人坐在这里喝咖啡晒太阳。在这一带,可以看到Longchamp,Prada,lv等品牌专卖店。 还剑湖边街景,冰茶随处可见,人们就在马路边席地而坐喝起冰茶,随心随意。卖花,果然有点儿传统 说说河内这家酒店吧。酒店感觉十分出色,booking上我预定的是splendid star,到酒店后,打开手机booking软件,将预定信息和护照交给前台,他们确认过后不是先说房间入住,而是用用不算特别准的英文亲切地询问深夜在线福利视频要喝冰茶还是咖啡,跟深夜在线福利视频聊天,然后才开始说他们已经给深夜在线福利视频预留了房间,不需要担心,由于那间房有点味道,所以打算给我调整到另外一个店,splendid ora,今天新开张的分店,房间是比我原来定的小一点,但依然很漂亮,问我愿意不愿意。房间小点是没关系的,不计较那么多就同意了。随后工作人员继续跟深夜在线福利视频聊深夜在线福利视频的行程,并且赠送地图,给出许多实用建议。随后深夜在线福利视频去看房间,splendid ora距离splendid star不远,转了个弯就到了,新开张的祝贺花篮还在呢!前台同样善,同样跟我了解我有没有出行计划然后给建议,热情而且亲切。酒店前台,房间确实不错,我只拍了照片在手机里,所以现在没有图片了。(我手机丢了哇!)房间两张大床,床品ok,洗澡室空间宽裕,房间里还配备了一台崭新的华硕笔记本电脑供顾客使用,白色钢琴烤漆的款式,越南版本的看不出型号,说实话,在异地看到曾经是自己家的深夜福利在线播放,觉得很温馨。房间价格合计人民币180左右,booking上显示这个价格他们是给了一定优惠的,看看房间看看价格超值! 在法国区,随便找了家看着还不错的餐厅吃午餐,点了套冰淇淋,主食,汤,结算150元人民币左右。这个环境这个地段是可以接受的,味道不觉得出众。据说是起源于米国的一家餐厅,这我就不好追本溯源了,然后我也忘记自己点的叫什么名字了,全是越南文和英文,这是我第一次出国第一次看纯外文菜单,不知道那些单词和哪些食材哪些烹饪方法挂钩,看着大概能看懂的,偶尔拿手机出来谷歌翻译一下,就那样搞定了,小慌慌张张的也不好意思一个个问成人深夜福利视频员,就算问成人深夜福利视频员估计也要问半天,词汇量不足他说了我也不能懂啊~这牙两头一样 2号下午五点多我从河内到胡志明市,机票349元人民币含税,去哪儿网上购买的,河内市中心到机场距离比较远,酒店前台可以帮忙叫车,价格是15美元/车,可坐四人,略不便宜。出门时偶然发现隔壁一家专门租车的小店发现去机场的车是11美元/车,四座,通过聊天判断这个店是正规的,跟老板定下来了,交钱后他会认真地给我开一张明细单,3点出发。(后来我从岘港飞河内,从机场打车到附近,合计人民币120左右,这么一算,我那11美元也就是70人民币左右,便宜了很多。)因为只有我一个人去机场安全问还是要操心一下,为了让自己在遇害情况下能得到最快速度的解救或者说能在遇到啥事情后还能给家人留个线索留个念想,我在上车前把汽车车牌、联系车的店面信息、联系方式发给朋友,并告诉朋友如果半个小时发现我和他们完全没有联系就替我报警。事实证明,这家公司真的靠谱,一路上一辆小汽车一个本地男司机和一个外国女乘客在40分钟的路程中,没有发生任何意外状况,顺利到达机场,心安啊,要知道,国内最近妹子坐黑车失联事件频发,找到的结果没一个是好的,像我这样只身在外难免不担忧。本帖末尾我贴了租车公司名片,供参考哈。 我走到相应换登机牌处排队,到我的时候我跟妹子说英文,好像大家都说的不是很好,不过后来还是顺利拿到了登机牌,不知道是不是因为廉价航空,所以登机牌就是两片小纸条,亮瞎我双眼了...真的要这么...随意么?为了避免丢三落四,我的行李简单分成2部分,1个小拉杆箱,1个轻便的防水手提包,以前大包小包的老是搞丢东西或者找不到,这次就好很多了,单反不用时放在防水手提包里,低调。 他们都说,路上我会捡到小伙伴同行的,但是我想说,知道现在,过去将近36小时了,我还没找到小伙伴,所以我估计是因为我人丑嘴不甜,没人搭理我我也不主动寻找搭理人家~终于等到登机时间了,我一看航班号,最后一个数字不对,目的地和其它数字都对,我开始怀疑是不是办登机牌的美女给我搞错了,或者是说我因为在中国代购的所以航班号不一样,心理暗骂:靠!坑爹啊!我拿着机票去问登机口的美女,由于双方英文都不利索,所以她只是说这不是你这航班登机,你要等。妈蛋,这明明就是我登机牌上写的登机时间和登机口啊和目的地啊,我了个去啊,要是搞错了我去不了胡志明市就囧了。我再次重复我的疑惑,她还是说了同样的话,能咋样呢?回去坐等呗。还是不安啊,我就主动跟旁边的小哥哥搭话了,我说你也是去胡志明的?他说是,然后我说我也是,然后我要求看看他的机票,我就是想看看他的航班号是不是跟我的一样,拖个人垫背的总好过自己一个人嘛。他给看了,尼玛,果然他的航班号是对的,就是他登机,我慌张了,我问他为什么我的不一样,交流了一会儿,我知道了,他的预计登机时间是3点半滴,航班延误鸟~~这么看来我的航班应该也是延误了。跑到信息栏一看,果然delayed,但是没有预计出发时间,哎,延误也不广播通知一下,吓死我了,国内一般都会中英双语大声广播的,习惯了。斜对面的出家人,Ta们到底是男僧还是女僧呢?这个问困扰了我很久。我在垃圾桶旁边找到了一个插座,就蹲坐在垃圾桶旁边的柱子旁给快没电了的手机充会儿电,有时候累的不行就坐到远一点的座位上死死盯着手机,幻想手机被拿走的各种可能性。夕阳已下,一抹橘红的光打在垃圾桶和柱子上,居然有了一点神圣的感觉。 百无聊赖地在机场不知道干嘛,手机网络用不起,机场WiFi连不上,我在河内小妹妹带我在小商店办了一张越南电话卡,100千买卡,100千充话费,送300兆3G流量,2G流量免费无限量使用,但这卡在我手机上经常读不出信号,通话和网络信号都非常不理想,后来我听说,在越南三星手机的网络信号比较好,可惜我的是ASUS。磨蹭半天终于到登机时间了,我特么才想起我今天是提前到胡志明的,还没定房。次噢~~booking刷半天上不去,于是我急急忙忙给朋友发短信,让完全没经验的一个好朋友帮忙上booking定,也不知道能不能成功预定上,住哪里,我就登机了,关机了。JETSTAR是廉价航空座位比较拥挤,前后左右距离都很近很近,我好像是坐在中间位置,坐在我右边的是一个系着古琦皮带的微胖越南壮年男士,不知从哪开始深夜在线福利视频搭上话的,他说法语比说英语还要好,听说我会法语,他讲起自己在法国住过四年,主要是在那边工作的,然后就一直跟我说法语聊天,那小语速跟法国人一样一样的,我有时候还真的是跟不上了!心情还是小雀跃的,能随便遇到跟你讲法语的人可不容易啊。我俩一会儿法语一会儿英语,有一搭没一搭地聊天,他还问我到胡志明以后乘坐什 么交通工具,我说我还不确定,我在想他只是随口问问咩?还是他以为我在勾搭他然后他在测试我?~想多了~哈哈坐在我左边的是个身材不胖不瘦个子不高的越南本地大叔,他看我和另外一个大叔聊得不错,笑盈盈问深夜在线福利视频是一对吗?当然他是用越南语隔着我和另外壮年问的。他看着我就笑,他说的我也不懂,然后我就觉得他一定是想邪恶了~~哼哼。右边的壮年给我翻译,然后深夜在线福利视频俩说出深夜在线福利视频也才认识的实情,完事,但大叔还是不时地冲着我笑,用着我听不懂的越南话和和热络的表情与右边的壮年聊天,我总感觉不能是特别好的事儿~我一度以为他们是不是在商量着咋把我给卖了~~最近工作量大天天加班或者乱七八糟事情,都来不及更新,再等我几天哈,我会慢慢写完的。 捷星JETSTAR不提供免费航空餐食,仅提供收费餐食,我在机场看到晚点的时候就已经到机场的餐厅吃了,饿不起啊~要了一碗面条,instant noodles,英文不好只知道rice noodle是米粉,所以我以为只要不是rice noodle就一定是面条了,上来以后果然是面条,只不过是方便面,直接用热水给你现泡的方便面。呃~貌似扯远了~嘿嘿。壮年独自要了一杯咖啡喝着,我补眠。将近10点到达西贡,手机信号几乎为0,那张在河内办的还冲了100千盾话费进去的越南的vinafone卡也是一样的!后来我才知道原来在越南三星手机对vinafone卡的匹配度是最高的,其它的都有各种信号问。下了飞机我没跟着他们走,而且先去机场问讯处有没有大巴之类的车子去市区,他们说没有了,只能打车。出租车很多,但是没有看到明显的英文或者中文提示,我一个人不敢独自打车,手机也没信号啊,我就四处搜寻中国人,不久被我听到了几句熟悉的乡音,立马一改之前的苦瓜脸转而嬉皮笑脸地腆上去求一起打车,好在他们不加犹豫善良地同意了,是3个女孩子和1个男孩子,外加1个女孩子1个米国男孩子,还有我,大家的目的地都是范五老街,刚刚好,我也不知道朋友能不能定上酒店,所以我先跟他们到他们的酒店连酒店WiFi看朋友消息,如果没订上我就跟他们一起住同一家店。 车子来了,是一辆可以坐7-8人的小车车。到酒店才知道原来这车是酒店安排来接他们的,收费22美元,还蛮便宜的,深夜在线福利视频7人分下来也没多少钱。蹭了一会儿酒店网络才知道朋友已经成功在附近帮忙定好了酒店,150元人民币左右,安泰酒店,离这几百米距离,一对一起打车的小情侣,代号小猴子美女和米国小帅哥吧,他们也没预定,打算直接到了再找,那4个新朋友互留联系方式,道别,小情侣陪我一起找我的酒店,顺便看看我那酒店怎么样。路程不远,几次问路看地图,深夜在线福利视频也找到了地点。一栋小楼,普普通通的酒店,老式装修,就一晚我就将就住了,他们到处继续看看。顺便说一下,酒店路上经常有成人深夜福利视频员在门口拉客,我把手机拿在手上,就像平时那样举着看地址啥的,他们还是会好心地提醒,take care your phones!说了好多次我都没注意,后来他说了好几次我才明白过来,一开始还以为是说其它地方没住的了让我住他们那呢。咋那么热情捏!差不多一个小时之后我想下楼买水,碰到他们回来了,他们到处看看还是觉得这家性价比高一些,一开始老板是说给他们的价格可以比booking上低的,可是那间房他死活要收人家180,都这个点了,我就帮着讲价,说到12点啦给便宜点啦啥的,那小哥说他们的房间要大些价格是要贵些的,我说你看都12点过了,这个时候还应该半价的,咱都不要半价了啥啥的,最后他给了他们和我房间一样的价格,达成一致。当然这些砍价都是用的英文,我觉得吧~我也是够能说的了,超常发挥啊,来之前我可没做过语言功课也几乎不用英文的啊。酒店位置就在范五老街附近,中间隔着一个教堂似的建筑物,街上很多各种各样的酒店,地理位置是比较方便的,旁边有个全家便利店(family mart),也不知道是不是台湾的那家全家,看着蛮像的。范五老街到安泰酒店之间看到的建筑物,近月圆之夜,月格外明亮,深夜在线福利视频在找酒店的路上看到觉得不错就停下来拍照了,半夜拿出相机还是有点心惊胆战。 第二天早上起来,准备转移到预定好的住宿townhouse50,townhouse50居然就在安泰酒店斜对面,需要通过一条5-10米长的小巷子进去,不是特别好找。townhouse跟YHA类似,简洁明亮,我定的是女子6人间,前台都会说英文,很明显这里大部分住客都是西方人。办理入住的时候我问他有中国人吗,他说没有,在我中国国庆节期间居然没有中国人在这里住,好失望。房间和洗手间分开,灯光和设计都是比较亲切温馨的,booking上预定12美元/人,含早餐。床都有厚厚的床垫,有集中的比较大的个人储物间,每个人都有自己的钥匙,不过来这的人我能感觉到都是比较nice而且温和的,所以我们贵重物品都没有特别保护起来,虽然来自不同国家不同地方不问文化,但是彼此间的信任度很高,我觉得和银川一路向北的感觉有点像。房间图:性感滴小内内~~嘿嘿 放好东西我找到前台,他们会热心的问我有什么计划,然后给予指点,并赠送一张应该是他们自己设计的地图复印版,上面会记处该城市主要景点、地例如市场等。而且他们可以提供订票成人深夜福利视频,机票、汽车票、火车票,我需要提前买次日去vung tau的船票,想请他们帮忙,不过他们说,现在去vung tau已经没有船了。我不信,发短信给飞机上的那位壮年,叫nha的壮年,用英文短信问他哪里可以买那船票,他回了句法文,让我告诉他我的酒店地址,他过来找我让我指给我到哪买,这句话我小捉摸了一小会,地址不就完事了,干嘛还要到我酒店找我再指给我看呢?他到底是想要哪样?嗯哼,我又往邪恶了处想了~~后来我还是尝试着说了townhouse的地址,townhouse50的客厅是可以聊天的,而且肯定是安全的,然后~~然后~~他居然没回复我了...我也没催,就算了,难道他真的是有想法滴么!1天2天3天都木有回复我,(艹皿艹 )西贡我最想去的就是寻找杜拉斯小说改编的电影《情人》,听说拍摄地点有在唐人街,也就是Chinatown取景,我打算去看看,前台告诉我可以坐1路车前往,并把1路车的乘车地点告诉我。@townhouse50开放式的客厅兼餐厅,安全的会话场所~([]
致,山的那边是什么,为梦作序 一直记得:很小的时候,每天早上起来,走到院子里,看见太阳总是从房子旁边山后面升起,射来耀眼金光!那是一道斜斜的山梁子,在太阳的映照下,一个个大大小小的小黑点排列着,有疏有密,高矮不齐,其中有一个特别显眼,孤零零的立在中间。那时候,我总是想:太阳天天从那那山后面爬上来,那边会有些什么呢??? 有幸,我后来能够满足这个好奇那山梁子后面有深夜在线福利视频家最远的一块田!渐渐地我大些了,母亲开始带我过去干农活。每次去那边干农活,走到那山梁子的时候,我总试图找出其中那个最显眼的小黑点,看看它究竟长什么样儿,但却只看到漫山遍野青松随风摇曳,不知道哪棵是那个最显眼的小黑点!过了那个山梁子,又是一个小一点的山梁子,翻过去就到了深夜在线福利视频家最远的那块田,那地方叫 /江尽沟/ <将军沟> ! 那里满山满山的野竹子,风吹竹浪,总感觉特不一样。 往东,我就只能走到这里了,田就在沟边上,沟那边又是一个巨大的山梁子,我看着太阳又从那边升起来 。那么这个山梁子后面又有些什么???这个山梁子连名字都没人知道!渐渐地,我上4年级5年级了,我漫山遍野砍柴,割草,最多的时候是挖草药挣零花钱,我可以并且有能力去得更远一点了,我尝试着翻过沟那边那道巨大的山梁子,去看看山的那边是什么,于是,我观察了不同的路线,窜了好几次,但都没能成功,那是片荒凉又贫瘠的野山,连棵大树都没有,只有各种怪石沟坎,还有超多的毛栗果子刺,摊在石头上,裹在草丛里,衣服裤子都被倒钩刺抓得噗噗响,满是线头,手背上更是血口一道道。太阳好毒,带的茶都被闷热了,打开盖子,装过白酒的饮料壶冲出来一股茶酒馊味!最要命的满山的一种叫做王皮针的草,草穗子朝衣服里面钻了扎人,然后尾巴脱落,每次回家都得脱下衣服翻上好半天~~~往往十天半月后还有顽固分子在折磨我!要翻过那道山梁子,异常艰难! 西边,仿佛更遥不可及,我家门前就是一座估计一百多米的山峰,背后有二叔和乡亲们的田,我只要几分钟就可以爬到顶上去,在顶上可以看过去很远,中间没有大山挡视线,经常看见太阳无精打采的落到很远的山后面去了,看着那已经远的有些模糊的山头,我没有太多好奇,只觉得那实在是太遥远太遥远了,遥远得我没有希望去到那边!因为:离家200多米,是一条小河,在一条超大的峡谷底部,峡谷两边都是几百米的笔直笔直的悬崖,很多地方明化化的大片大片寸草不生!对面有一块悬崖中间还两个黑黑的洞,听老人家讲里面可以捡到枪和子弹,可以挖到筛子大的魔芋,好神奇! 最开心在去外公家拜年的时候沿这条河走着过瘾,那是往北的方向,一路上风景变换,还可以看见很多平常看不到的花草树木,瀑布洞穴,各种奇怪的鸟叫声!我沉浸在满足的好奇当中,幻想着过了这条河,是个什么世界!我是不可能越过这条峡谷的,我没有理由也没有机会越过这大峡谷去到那边,那边没有我家的田,也没有我家的亲戚!我也没有这个能力!在家前面的小山包上,我看见峡谷那边满是层层叠叠波浪起伏般的山峦和田,隐隐约约,一直到看不见的地方,峡谷里的那条小河经过几个小瀑布,它们仿佛永远不知疲倦的嘶吼着,绕过几个山脚汇入山脚下的大河,大河拐进那些山中不见了,不知道流向何方,好远,好神秘~ !那时候,最想的就是要是有个亲戚住在峡谷那边该多好,这样我就有机会去到峡谷那边,看看那边又是什么样子了! 六年级的时候吧,我终于能够去到山的那边了,那是去一个很远的亲戚家,深夜在线福利视频迎着太阳直接翻过东边的大山,又越过一条小河,听爸爸讲:家里山脚下那条大河就是这条河流过去的矣。那亲戚就在河对面的大山上,那山跟我家所在的山一样巨大!原来,山的那边还是山。那这座山后面又是什么呢???这几年学会电脑以后,没事我总喜欢打开谷歌地球,翻到老家那一块,从空中看看那些山后面都是什么。这是一个心结!后来一次去,是沿着山脚下的大河一直往上头走,走到太阳落山,一路玩着水,真开心,我还发现了这条河和去外公家的那条河好多不一样的地方,比如说,少了好多黑乎乎的长者巨大石头牙齿的房子那么大的山洞!而且,我又知道了一些新的奇怪的地名,我期待着有一天能够去看看那些奇怪名字的地方~ 上初中后,我更强了,我不需要再在书包里揣着把小锄头才能到处跑了,我去了一些以前不可能去的地方,我不但能够经常去镇上,而且还去到了乡里,乡里好热闹,居然会有那么大的车那么神奇的建筑(加油站)。那时候学校有个很可观的图书室,比小学那个的书多多了。我从图书室借的书上了解到,这个世界上还有着很多更神奇的地方,也就是那时候,我知道了神秘的北纬30度,知道了许多的未解之谜,有点怀疑那些是不是真的,我慢慢等着毕业,毕业了我就可以出门打工了,可以去很远很远的地方,可以知道山的那边是什么 。 毕业了,我终于可以去到很远的地方了,虽然不是想去哪里就去到哪里。虽然我还没有勇气去证实对书中的怀疑!我满足的沉浸在书和电影的世界里,探索着万般好奇,感受着书中自有黄金屋,书中自有颜如玉的奇迹!09年底,我学会了上网,我发现了一个更广阔的天地,那时候我常说:上网能用两个东西就可以了,QQ 和百度,百度的知识量对于我之前的世界来说,是爆炸性的! 这些年下来,我知道了太阳升起来的那边都有些什么,我知道了大海是什么感觉,我知道了从空中看到的云是什么样的……!这些年来,每一次转移,无论是火车,还是晕的连胆汁都吐出来的汽车,还是只能顺着江河走的轮船,还是飞在天上的飞机,我白天都不睡觉,绝大部分时间我都趴在窗口看外面的风景,晚上是痛苦的,黑得一塌糊涂,什么也看不见,我很无奈的错过。我对这个世界有着太多的好奇,我要看遍这个世界!!!但是,我始终只能这样顺便的一路看过去,对于我来说,北纬30度的奇迹,似乎永远是些“未解之谜”我不敢想象:我是否能够去证实那些未解之谜!!! 就这样点点滴滴,我饥渴的吮吸着,填不饱对这个世界一切未知的求知欲,我渴望真正的走出去,以最直接最真实的方式,满足我所有的好奇…… 07年底,对于我来说,是一个非比寻常的转折,我带出了我家弟弟,他疯狂的爱上了自行车,并慢慢走上职业化的领域。这更加开阔了我的眼界,09年底我学会了上网,进一步开阔了我的世界。我开始发现一些现实的走出去的途径,再后来我也有了能远行的自行车,…… 我一直没能知道峡谷的那边都有些什么,我幻想着什么时候能够去到峡谷的那边,看看那边是一个什么世界。 12年年底,我终于轻轻的迈出了第一步,我提着已经花到4000多块的第二部自行车,去了我梦寐以求的未来第一大都市——上海,还去了厦门!这一步因为迈得太轻,最终落地也就没什么感觉~!至此,我出来整整10个年头了! 我所谓的理想,不过如此肤浅,我所谓的旅行,不过如此单薄,仅仅就是去满足自己的好奇心而已,我亦不愿赋予我的行动太多太高的含义!你翻过的,不过是你心中的那座山,于他人何关,你要面对的,亦不过是你自己。说到底,兴趣而已…… 预知后事如何,且听下回分解~掌声~~~2013年五月,我辞掉了个人有史以来最肥美的工作,回蜗居的路上,我突然开始“怀疑人生”~!或许应该换种说法,叫~脑洞大开~!几晚挣扎+纠结,我一个星期后踩着单车上了318…… 318,驰名天下,我从头走到尾,走得很壮烈………此处省略一万字! 如何壮烈,请看此处分解:https//tieba.baidu.com/p/2335350672?pn=1 想当年,临近拉萨,很多人在说要去尼泊尔,什么滑翔伞,什么博卡拉,住宿怎么怎么便宜,证怎么怎么简单……只说得在下心驰神往,颠倒阴阳~~~遂想起某裆刚不久前昭告天下天朝某48个城市可就地办理护照!皇恩浩荡~ 我等何其幸运,竟是如此简单便能云游天下,想当年,我都是直着双眼流着哈喇子在新华书店的旅游杂志上一次次遨游天下,吾皇万岁万岁万万岁!激动流涕中… 立马查询之,当时阿拉已基本会用智能手机啦!查询结果是,48个城市唯独没有拉萨!!!确定两眼没看花~于是我遥望雪山,升级了那句话~雪山的那边是什么?所谓的尼泊尔,近在眼前,却被几张纸~隔断天涯…皇恩,你就不能浩荡到底嘛?痛苦流涕中……当年八月归来:迎接另一个晨曦,带来全新空气气息改变情味不变,茶香飘满情谊我家大门常打开,开放怀抱等你拥抱过就有了默契,你会爱上这里不管远近都是客人请不用客气安得蜗居一小间,大僻天下旅友尽欢颜,我携12平方蜗居光荣加入沙发客大家庭!时值旅行后遗症病入膏肓,每日茶饭不思,精神不振,全身乏力!拖着病体,时刻念着:人人为我,我为人人!与人方便,与自己方便!在公园2013年的最后三个月,完成近十次接待,其中两次接待巾帼女侠,收得三次论坛留名感谢,无一次不欢,功德圆满!我给自己定下目,两年之内,我一定要再次旅行,而且要出国旅行!事实上,我知道,我未必能够撑到两年,旅行后遗症严重到何种程度,几个能明白!但是,我必须等这么长时间,为什么?现实,说白了,就是钱!再怎么高大上的神物,也得向五斗米折腰!食为天,是最真的真理! 我要多少钱?要满足三个月以上的旅行,10K+实现自己一直以来的一个心愿:接爸妈坐飞机来大城市玩半个月~预算13K给自己治病,13K+给家里的开销,妹妹要上高中了,开销要增加~10K+总不能回家就接不上火吧,何况还有负担!储备10K+还有装备……还有……………西藏回来上了三个多月班,回家过了个年,卡上剩下3K+我必须得有五万才合理,不是够,是合理!五万,我的妈呀,两年存五万,存三万就感天动地了!而且我肯定撑不住两年,最理想是2015年年初就出发,最多延迟三个月,最多!那么砍掉一些吧,存到三万就出发,旅行预算一万雷打不动,剩下的陈芝麻烂谷子怎么将就怎么将就吧!可是在一年零三个月里,要存三万块也是个好庞大的数字啊!就目前的条件明年最理想的收入状态也不会超过4300一个月,每个月基本开销就得一千多,年底回趟家就得八千至少,而且我根本没把握找到4300一个月的工作!唯一能够实现计划的可能性就是:上工地!不敢想网上传的300块一天,170一天我就非常非常满足了,这个数字绝对能够在15个月存到三万!可是,可是上工地我都没门没路啊………古人为活命逼上梁山,今我为梦想逼进工地!没工地让我往里面逼! 这是我2014年的写照!我很高兴的说,这是我迄今为止最好的一年,最走运的一年!!!好到什么程度,好到我半年就存了三万,好到一年就存了5.6万,好到我想用剩下的三个月去改变计划,去买一台15K的单反!但是,最终我没买单反,因为我连15个月都坚持不住了!因为我认识的好多人,早已经又回到路上了! 回家一趟花7K+买装备花了近5K再除掉一些杂七杂八,现在还剩40几K,头痛的是耳朵最终没整好,医生说不能随便动dao,很可能情况更糟!不但原来耳朵没治好,另一只耳朵又前不久开始出毛病,操~按照原来的预算计划,钞票还是不够,只不过操蛋的耳朵没法治,于是有了一部分钱周转!管不了那么多了,不去会死!真的会死……我就这么一辈子,就活这么一次!我28了!我能力有限收入不高!我现在有能力有勇气去实现我的梦想我再不抓紧时间待合适???!!!此刻,杭州西子湖,满觉珑黑甜青旅宁静清新的小院里,我心随鸟儿一起歌唱……享受此刻的新鲜空气是多么的不容易!回望这一年,只有苦没有甜!全靠一个梦想散发的希望坚持着!年初,在杭州找了好几天工作没弄合适,大工厂工资低得无耻~ 小作坊老板还在老家串门~ 急着赚钱,出来太早了!最终妥协:无宿120一天中午吃一餐还得扣5块钱,还得强制性休四天,对比之前3600的月工资,算起来还降了好几百,人家还包吃一顿呢!尼玛还让不让人活啊?还想追梦呢!干了11天,后来结工资这家伙居然向我恳求:小朱啊,你看能不能给你按110一天算啊,你就干了这么久!尼玛这家伙当初跟我说三天试用期后合格就留用马上涨工价!干了11天,开始转运了,同事给介绍了同厂另一个包工头,我如愿以偿上工地了 终于上工地了,打包到浙江缙云,干了将近五个月,修铁路,脚手架搭上18层,半边用3mm细铁丝拉着,那个晃啊,心脏动不动就想出逃!7月份,下午4点半,太阳底下还有42.3℃,深夜在线福利视频晒得衣服上面画地图!后来在山西,国庆节山帽子上就铺雪了,刮不完的寒风,鼻涕拉着长线四处乱飞!深夜在线福利视频都在干活,计件工资啊!八月终于被忽悠到山西平鲁,那边大工程,半年都干不完,那边在桥面上工作,那边矮,只有十几米!大家都小心翼翼,怕得罪老板,去不了山西!尼玛,结果呢,50好几米啊,是在桥面上干,不过是桥面最边上桥弦子上,干了两个月多点干完了!最要命的是包工头把深夜在线福利视频骗过去后露出本来面目,对大家各种刻薄,各种占便宜,连深夜在线福利视频之前捡废品的钱都贪了,说是跟大伙一起吃了好多次饭,算请客了,深夜在线福利视频倒过来欠了人家人情!尼玛太恶心人了……大家背地里都称它为:披着人皮的渣! 这还不是最恶心人的,包工头喜欢每个人拖欠个千二八百的,虽然他说得最多的就是他从来不拖欠工资!山西干完,我琢磨着它肯定会旧病复发,便提前几天给他注射疫苗!它是个敏感种子,容易被受伤,所以我用不着再带着汽油去泼得满屋子都是~!结果被我那么一激,他很可爱的结清了所有工资,还破天荒的多算了两百来块!于是我高高兴兴的回老家办身份证去了,尼玛这一回去就磨蹭了整整一个月,一个月啊!我实在撑不住了,然后也有点不放心,便回杭州了,回到杭州,这人渣居然不要我了,操~我被放鸽子了,我被浪费了20几天时间,20几天,好几千块钱啊!我是一直担心山西那事得罪了它,但没猜到它会用这种方式来对付我!他还一直担心我不给他做呢!人渣啊本来一直想,今年润一个月,我可以多存好几千块的,结果存了一肚子气!年底真的很美好,我结识了一个品格高大上的老板,去了温州干了一个月然后去椒江干了一个月然后又回温州干了一礼拜!这次深夜在线福利视频记工工资,9个小时工作制!刚开始一天200,后来承蒙老板厚爱,工资涨到220一天,而且深夜在线福利视频是另外补贴每天20块钱生活费的!这两个多月是很理想的,相比之前,我工资实际上增加了,而且压力没计件的时候那么大了,我再也不用担心被某颗老鼠屎拖后腿,之前在缙云,深夜在线福利视频曾经一连四天累死累活一分钱没得到,当时大伙都快疯掉了! 这一年,身为车友的我只骑了一次车,还是被气的半死状态下赌气罢工去骑的!我跟我的那些同事们一样,每天吃了睡,睡醒了干活,区别在于他们的娱乐是赌博看抗战神剧,我的娱乐是在网上给自己打气!区别在于他们除了生存没有多余的思想,如同没有CPU的老式柴油机!而我这个马力偏小的柴油机有个运行不正常的芯片,他们称之为~傻逼想法~!如今,我终于再次出发了,我没能强大到能够对世俗的眼光视而不见,但是我足够强大到突破自己的勇气去展现行动我所追求的,其实不是令人陶醉的美景,也不是叫人惊奇的异乡文化,更不是某种证明…… 为了一次旅行,我那么辛苦,我忍受那么多的偏见,其实只是为了心中的那个结,山的那边是什么?小时候,我在心中幻想!学会电脑后,我在谷歌地球上探索!现在,我能够用双脚带着眼睛去看,那么我就去看!如果硬要说路上最值得的,就是可以感受更多的纯粹,纯粹!~就像此刻青旅的祥和,就像大家再怎么样都要回家过年……在这个钢筋水泥荒漠里,你能想象你站在马路边伸手拦顺风车是什么情景吗?你租房子跟你的邻居半年来每天照面,你们有多少会“嗨”一声?但是深夜在线福利视频能,我们在路上每天都能!深夜在线福利视频可以见第一面就如同多年老友,深夜在线福利视频可以不用任何思考就给予对方帮助! 2015.2.7出发,开销134,含交通134!2.8,开销189,含装备25!2.9,开销222.10,开销316,日用品!含损失152~操!2.11,开销81去银行折腾了大半个下午,终于将一些乱七八糟的卡都给销掉了,然后把钞票都转到了别处,万一我要是挂在路上了,可不能好事了银行!不禁想到去年在川藏线上,好多人行囊底部压着遗书!追梦有风险,出发需谨慎! 7号,我终于得以出发!没有上一次那种感慨和澎湃的激动,心情很平静,虽然为这一天我已经一天一天的数了五百多天,这种状态使我感到很意外!没打到摩的,我背着高高的登山包徒步去温州南站,一路回头率很高,路口碰到一摩的,朝我点头一笑:旅行啊!回之一笑点点头,他没说旅游,似乎有那么点感觉了! 花了129坐动车去杭州,对于我来说,这个价格不便宜,K车五十多的价格我感觉才是理想的,那个的时间要两倍还多,但这个无所谓的!我也不知道为什么我会去选择动车,西藏回来,我真的变了好多! 到杭州之后,去了朋友家,半年没聚会了!对于不善于交往的我来说,朋友何其珍贵…… 晚上三人聚餐,我放得很开,实在是高兴!深夜在线福利视频三个,现在一个是酒店大经理,一个是高级技术员,一个不伦不类无法定位,还能够在街头小店里张牙舞爪唾沫横飞,是难得的! 结果聚餐后半段我就没任何记忆了……8号留在朋友家,朋友陪着去迪卡侬买装备,最后就买了个小挂件,脑子里一盘散沙,没法买!放假了,绷紧的神经松懈了,注意力没法集中!去电影院看了霍比特3,3D动态确有可点之处,要是清晰度跟电脑齐平该是很壮观的!这是我第一次进影院看电影,43块的价格实在是诱惑力太大,印象中都是180以上的9号下午去了沙友家里,朋友这里住得舒服,沙友那不能失信!沙友在滨江,朋友住五常,我路边取了辆单车往地铁站骑,背着庞大的登山包完全骑过去是没那个勇气的,路上好几段上坡,登山包死命把人往后拽,拼命的踩,满头大汗,也不觉得冷了!再怎么样,比坐车舒服多了,七号那天从东站坐到五常,可能晕车药吃晚了点,忍到最后,下车了又浪费粮食了!晕车!将是此次旅行最大的挑战,不想去坐火车,这样就少了旅行的味道,纯徒,是绝对不现实的,最起码自己的心理素质没准备好!路过三夫店,看装备,店里妹子给称了一下包,44斤!说真的,吓到我了,我想的是控制在35斤!包里还有很多东西可以扔掉,但也还得添加很多东西,不知道最终重量能否减一些下来!真正意义上讲这是我第一次做沙发客!从一开始就是自己操作~ 沙主兴哥极其热情,待人上佳!因为临时变动要同时接待两个沙发客,床位不够,为了让深夜在线福利视频都住的舒适,兴哥临时从出差的同事那里借了一个房间给我住,我受宠若惊!在这里真诚感谢兴哥的接待,期望将来能够回报兴哥!住了两个晚上,临时变动,无法继续!联系了之前约好的其他沙主,情况不允许接待!我思考再三,决定不再联系剩下的沙主,也不回朋友家那去,破费一点,我去青旅住!我实在太想念青旅了,虽然又得一笔不小的开销,但青旅那种氛围的诱惑力难以抵抗……如果不是要省钱,青旅绝对是比沙发客更好的选择,那里随意,浪漫,有强烈的归宿感!相比之下,睡沙发客需要顾虑的实在太多太多,从一开始的接触到后来自己去接待到现在自己以空降的方式求沙发,我一直很努力,也一直很顺利,没有遇到弄得不开心的,完全可以说非常成功!但是,我仍然五味陈杂,我更愿意去付出,去接待人家,自己旅行的时候,我还是觉得青旅是最好的! 得益于日新月异的信息发展,我很快就知道了杭州青旅聚集地,记得去年上路,我还在学着用智能机,一路上好不狼狈!问了两家,找到个床位价29的,迫不及待就赶过去了!我超喜欢这种多人混住间,最好整个房间都住满,那样就可以跟五湖四海的旅行者打交道,大家一起分享自己的经历和各种信息,太开心了~我这次的房间是八人间,卫生设施美好,房间很新,进房间一会儿,老板娘抱过来床单被套枕套叫自个儿装上,瞬间感觉亲切,那感觉如同去年去西藏在波尔院子里,波尔只卖装备,都自己动手装,不会的自己想办法,这个都搞不定路上怎么办!。唯一不好的就是只住了四个人,其中一个来做义工的大学生,两个旅游的,不过还是聊得很开心!今天终于去买了防潮垫,买了鸡蛋盒,价格美好,加上昨天买的碗筷盘子,吃的住的都齐了!明天沙友就回来了,将再次挪窝至滨江做沙发客,大后天,也就是16号,向枸杞岛进发,又要花钱,关键是又要坐汽车,啊…… ([]
记:孟克德古道啊!半年前就开始计划6.1走一次,随着时间慢慢的临近,心里莫名的激动。此路线为什么会吸引我呢,孟克德古道会穿越苦杨林,天湖,翻雪山达坂,有美丽的、铺满鲜花的草原,一路上风景如画,新疆的各种美景都尽收眼底。回来后由于工作生活原因,作业一直拖到现在才写,(不好意思啊!高队,81,83~)接下来请大家随着我的照片,来一场身临其境的孟克德之行吧!(好矫情,哈哈!)天湖的早晨苦杨 翻越门克廷达坂 唐古拉草原的花海唐古拉草原 门克廷达坂下的花 线路简介 孟克德古道位于中天山博罗科努山的最东段,最高峰4590米,在其北坡孕育有古尔图河,奎屯河;在其南坡是喀什河水系的重要补给水源,并且有“千里画廊”美誉的唐布拉百里旅游区,也是奎屯和尼勒克县的分界山脉。其门克廷达坂海拔为3945米,为依连哈比尔尕山最高达坂之一,常年积雪,气候变化无常,道路险峻,达坂附近常有雪豹等珍稀野生动物出没。 此行是由北向南跨越博罗科努山,以奎屯河和孟克德河谷为穿越线路。自然风光 孟克德湖:伊犁州境内因自然地质灾害形成的高山湖泊之一,海拔2808米,成梯形状。大约在十九世纪末时,尼勒克境内依连哈比尔尕山范围内发生了强烈地震,地震导致山体滑坡、碎石滚落,促使孟克德沟谷内两座山之间狭小的空隙堵塞,从此常年积雨水而形成的地质灾害湖。 天湖(乌兰萨德克湖):海拔2320米,暂无资料记载。该湖两边为海拔在3500米以上的高山,湖面面积较大,湖泊内多为枯木,显现出该湖的诡异。 奎屯河:奎屯河为依连哈比尔尕山中段北侧积雪融化而形成,水量较大且波涛汹涌,河床内多巨石,河谷内生长着大量的苦杨,秋季金黄一片,与湖水和河水相衬,景色异常壮美。 独库公路:独库公路深入天山腹地,纵贯天山南北,一半以上的道路都在崇山峻岭、深山峡谷中穿过,很多地段都是“猿猴欲度愁攀援”的飞绝险境。独库公路全程需要翻过4个海拔3000米以上、常年积雪的达坂,跨越5条险恶的河流,穿过3条高山隧道。 第一天:(老天爷给深夜在线福利视频下马威!)行程:217国道(625公里处)与奎屯河交汇处—乌兰萨德克河谷—海拔2150米处的苦杨林,徒步8公里。 早上8点,从乌鲁木齐出发,结果天开始下雨,哎,老天爷不结力啊!后面几天不会还要下雨吧,(事实证明了我的猜想)车开至独山子,美美地吃了顿新疆大盘鸡,后面几天可是吃不到这么爽的肉肉了啊,可要吃好,哈哈。车出独山子,开上了独库公路,这里有点小插曲,警察叔叔一开始不让深夜在线福利视频过去,后面深夜在线福利视频好好给作了下工作,说明了深夜在线福利视频的来意,终于才放行,车顺着独库公路一直向上爬升,终于到了徒步起点,独库公路625公里处。大家整理好装备就出发了,队员们都很兴奋。从独库公路边上下去,下到奎屯河边,走过一座小桥,前行一公里,发现前面的路石塌方,原本要向前斜插的路因为前几天下了几场大雨,经过雨水的冲刷,大量的碎石塌方把原本就很难通过的路整个掩埋掉,根本不能通过。没办法,深夜在线福利视频只能另外择路,下到山脚下,再沿着河边走,绕过塌方路段,再爬到老217国道,这段塌方的路很难爬,坡度很陡,并且全是碎石子,脚每向上踏出一步,身体就要向下滑两步,到最后深夜在线福利视频都手脚并用往上爬了,经过艰难的爬行,大家都气喘吁吁,这才是第一天啊,老天爷给深夜在线福利视频这个下马威太狠了!爬这个坡感觉体力都要透支了!继续前行,穿过一片苦杨林,终于到达了今天的营地,扎营吃饭,睡觉。出发前的合影,现在大家都是白白净净的,五天后就变成野人了,哈哈。这里介绍一下队员们:左一:走8户外领队高纯度,著名户外领队,爱好摄影,抽烟,还有美女(哈哈),这里公布下他的户外群:273652461。PS:就是他忽悠我带三脚架的!。左二:本尊我啦,喜欢户外,喜欢走路。目是走完新疆所有长线!左三:网名 不在,话不多,一般都闷头走路,个子虽小但毅力惊人!小小的身体内有很大的小宇宙。深夜在线福利视频都叫她83,至于为什么呢,因为深夜在线福利视频都是81,82,83年的,叫起来顺口!左四:网名 1981,和前面的83都是浙江来的!也是心仪孟克德古道的美景已久哈,81和我一样都是装备控啊,喜欢研究户外装备,所以深夜在线福利视频很有共同话!第一座桥,从这里进去乌兰萨德山谷。前面的斜切路由于下大雨,碎石塌方导致无法通行。现在深夜在线福利视频只能选择下到河谷(后面几天都会遇到这种情况)。下到河谷去,这是深夜在线福利视频遇到的前面一支队伍,后面几天都会遇到,是来自当地(奎屯地区)的队伍。我们要下到河边,然后穿过塌方地区,再爬上来,想想都累啊!小伙伴们都小心翼翼的从河边走路不好走啊,石头很滑在顺着这个碎石斜坡爬上来,老天爷真是折磨人!今天强度不大,再走大约5公里就到营地了。这就是今天的营地了第二天:(目:天湖!)行程:海拔2150米处的苦杨林—天湖,徒步10公里。昨晚账篷外各种声响,让本来就睡觉不沉的我受尽折磨,老觉得外面有东西,早上七点,我拉开帐蓬,天已经亮了,反正我也睡不着,干脆起床吧!便开始起床收拾了(哎劳碌命),过了半小时,大家陆续睡来,这时候第一缕晨光,透过山谷,慢慢地洒向深夜在线福利视频的营地,吃完早饭,开始出发!今天的目是前往直线距离15公里外的天湖!首先深夜在线福利视频走进了一片美丽的苦杨林,这时阳光洒在深夜在线福利视频身后,行走在这美丽的树林,感觉心情也格外的美丽!深夜在线福利视频继续沿着老217国道前行,有部分路段因为塌方,滑落的碎石把路掩埋,深夜在线福利视频只能下到下面的河谷,越过一条条小溪往前走,一路沿着缓坡上行,深夜在线福利视频走到乌兰萨德克沟北岸,在深夜在线福利视频的左手边,是一片片苦杨林,生长在沟底,这里的风光简直美不胜收,穿过这条沟,深夜在线福利视频便到了今天的目的地:天湖,这个时节的天湖,可能是因为季节性的因素,水位下降很多,以前能看到的美景,因为水位下降的原因,只剩下一片枯死的苦杨,这更加加深了这片苦杨的悲壮沧桑,每一棵死去的苦杨,历经了多少年的岁月,依然伫立在天湖干枯的河床之上,让深夜在线福利视频不得不佩服大自然的神奇魔力。 太阳要出来了!第一缕晨光照进营地! 深夜在线福利视频的营地即将沐浴在晨光之中!在苦杨林间穿行。今天天气很好!([]

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