There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
Northern Wilderness, Solo Traverse of the Great Chang TangMr YANG Liusong, a Chinese who just finished the first solo traverse over Chang Tang by cycling from west to east in recorded human history, shared his stunning Expedition with all of us through the forum 8264 https//bbs.8264.com/thread-512349-1-1.html .

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for? The pregnant female chirus in migration, probably heading to Heishi Beihu to give birth([]
出发,啥都别管了!怀着惴惴不安的心情,直至诸多行李通过安检,在此奉劝各车友,打包后的车箱尺寸太大过不了安检的检测仪,态度好的地勤人员会让托运部派人过来接收,态度不好的呢,嘿嘿~.在机上的邻座邂逅一同乡,是我爹一富商朋友,陪同领导们前往丽江度假,听闻了我的计划后颇为吃惊,对我这后进中青年给予了颇高评价,被认可的感觉是很棒的,嘿嘿~晚点近一个半小时的飞机终于抵达昆明机场,预报中的阵雨没有到来,倒是迈出机场那一刻的凉意让我着实吃了一惊,在众目睽睽下笨拙的拆箱装车,都怪平时的基本功不扎实啊,倒腾了许久才勉强装好,身旁等待拉客的黑车司机们迫不及待地和我搭讪,他们说出机场的路只有一条,并且是高速,但是通常都不查的,没事上路吧,小伙子。骑着亲手组装好的车子上路,那种成就感自感豪真是没得说的。昨日抵达昆明,入住茶花,心情大好。可惜公共wifi太多人占用,效率低下,舍弃自己的平板电脑,到前台免费提供的地方上网,没一会,一老外姑娘娇滴滴跟我搭讪,纳闷一会才听明白她说:you stay hear long?稍一迟疑,又看到四周虎视眈眈的目光,只好大方地说:just moment,maybe...,just moment!话说昨日离开昆明机场,骑上唯一一条可以离开机场的路,就是那条无比宽敞有着超级顺滑新开通的柏油路,远远看到收费站的绿色通道站着个穿制服的,小心脏就开始砰砰跳了。“同志,非机动车上高速需要罚款五十”“我知道错了,警察叔叔,但是这是唯一一条出路啊”“这是规定,我也没有办法,你支持一下我工作好吧”“叔叔,我是失业了才出来骑行,希望通过这个折磨来让我反省自己的错误,您也是过来人,应该可以理解吧”“........”“走吧,年轻人,从前面岔口下,路上小心点”我的小心脏哟,那个叫做狂喜,看来昆明的警察同志还是很有爱的嘛但是,从此后我就记住了这条通往昆明市区的某条不知名的国道了,那叫坑爹啊,路况极差浓烟滚滚且先不说,各种横行霸道从我身边呼啸而过,边用那不争气的平板导航边问路辗转回到青旅,在浴室镜子前卸下装备,着实吓了一跳后哑然失笑,这才第一天啊! 梳洗完毕,急忙趁天黑之前到这家超有爱的青旅拍些照片lonely planet(孤独行星)说这是中国最棒的青旅之一,看来确实名不虚传,废话少说,看照片!院内听到熟悉的福州话,和那两位初邂逅的大姐瞎扯了一番,她们说是这儿的常客,但是这地儿17号就要拆迁了,哎呀,我们仨那叫一个遗憾和唏嘘啊。她们推荐说边上有家老字号的过桥米线很给力,我就迅速找个机会和她们依依惜别,随即出门觅食。够饿且够闲的前提下的任何猪食都可以是美食了,更何况是这经典搭配:红油血旺+传统过桥+大理啤酒哼哧哼哧后,肚胀难受,在街上溜达,昆明的傍晚有着福州初秋时分的感觉,凉爽、明亮,彩云之南,人间天堂啊。我找了家超市补充了些装备,买了张云南的地图,问了好几家户外店都没有买到防狼喷雾(这让我今天大为后悔,后话)回到茶花,在极不爽的网络世界里折磨了数小时后悻悻然回房。备注:平时主要上新浪微博,感兴趣的亲们可以关注一下“老朱小弟” 没有了爱疯的导航,早上像无头苍蝇似的在昆明市区打转,多亏了几位好心人的帮忙,尤其要多谢一位慈祥的姑娘,一直送我到二环南路的桥下。突然觉得这种沿途靠问路西行的方法也不错,至少可以接触到形形色色的人。未经许可将我的爱疯占为己有的人啊,我好像开始尝试原谅你了。话说朱小弟二师兄蒙着面顶着烈日垂头丧气地骑行在茫茫无际的烂路上时,突然路边杀出一黑一黄两只恶犬,分别从二师兄两侧包抄而来,说时迟那时快,二师兄边朝恶犬使出狮子吼边启动运动模式,虽在上坡路段,但v8引擎的表现也确实让人惊叹,如此拉锯数百米,犬乏。说人话!朱小弟被狗追,怕怕。妈的,人品太好也至于招惹畜生啊!我上下检索了一番,怀疑是这驼包的荧光绿防雨罩太骚导致的,那,我要怎么办?一路暴晒,加上各种烂路。继续昨日的浓烟滚滚,反复上下坡,搓板路,碎石路,烂泥路。第一天就这么坑爹。好在最后的二三十公里柳暗花明,连续十公里的柏油路下坡,所有的折磨在这一刻都是那么的无怨无悔。1630,抵达禄丰县城,全程105公里。入住康源宾馆三楼的阳光房,仅盛惠40元。洗漱晒衣后出门觅食。禄丰是一个神奇的地方,这才是中国内地真正的小香港啊,大街小巷充斥着各种娱乐场所,路边巨型广告写着东莞式的服务仅需298元。圆子鸡火锅,可能是我这趟旅程最美味的食物了,可能和边上坐着两位姑娘秀色可餐也有大关系。酒足饭饱,也仅75元。信步街头,走入这家“天罗地网”,花了10元给国家的个人进网吧的开户费冤枉钱。于是有了以上的文章和照片。一前辈网友在微博给我留言说明日有大烂路等着我。who怕who,爷出来混早就知道迟早是要还的。一直往西方骑,听说梦想在那边.......二师兄的西游记(day 3)昨夜一夜无眠,蚊子肆虐,可能是白天晒得太久吸收了过多热量,不停流汗,并且那傻逼风扇自从被我拉了一下摇头后就开始响个不停,大哥,我不是那位你命里注定的维修工,明日一早我还得赶路,您就当我是个P,把我给放了好吗。康源宾馆处于禄丰著名的娱乐场所一条街上,半夜到凌晨,耳畔充斥着酒鬼的嚎叫、嫖客和妓女的浪笑,末了还有位忘带钥匙的兄台把他家卷帘门足足有踹了超过30分钟,我反正睡不着也无所谓,就当是禄丰县旅游局免费赠送给我的3D音频大餐吧。左膝盖明显加剧的疼痛让我忧心忡忡,还记得上次泉州一日行的后果,有接近两周无法使力,这要是重蹈覆辙,我还骑个**尼泊尔,估计到不了大理就要投靠段家当门客了(慕容姑娘不知安好否)。越想越可怕,我这是要马上准备第二套方案吗?总不能过两天就打道回府吧!想起白天路上遇到的那几个徒步前往香格里拉的驴友,或者实在不行就把单车打包寄回去,改为徒步加搭车去拉萨。不能这么想,这和我的初衷相差太多了,要真是这样,以后骑行的日子可能就到此为止了。吸引力法则开始奏效,越想膝盖越痛,我悲催地几乎欲趴在窗台对着那群游魂们痛苦嘶吼。求助下百度吧,据说他神马都懂,搜索答案是坐垫太低、骑行姿势不对和用力过度都可能是罪魁祸首。先在手机里做个备忘吧,明早起来再琢磨琢磨。辗转一夜,满脑子悲观情绪。理想很丰满,现实太他妈骨感了。早上7点钟,天色已亮,距离宾馆不远处顶上安着一个巨型大钟的电信大楼准时播放东方红乐曲,通知禄丰人民快点起床去为早日实现祖国现代化添砖加瓦,可我纳闷的是有这么多彻夜接待国内外贵宾的夜班服务人员他们的生物钟和准时朝九晚五的大老爷们应该是不一样的呀,谁来关心她们的疾苦和心声。我这个只求借宿一宿的外来游客管得也太宽了吧。好吧,反正大爷一夜几乎未合眼,并且这也关我P事,爱谁谁。我开始尝试和膝盖兄进行对话:兄弟,昨儿个肯定是我不对,我光顾着逞强,没有考虑你的感受,今天咱们好好聊聊,你有什么需求都说出来吧。我隐隐感觉到他的回复是希望我能低调些,最好是龟速前进,这样他才可能勉强配合。好吧,再不起床今晚恐怕是到不了楚雄了。我沮丧地呆坐于床沿,给膝盖上药,洗漱收拾。骑车离开宾馆去吃早餐时,天空乌云密布。我以对膝盖兄的承诺的速度缓慢骑行着,反正已经做好最坏打算,索性一路欣赏风景。禄丰至楚雄的这段路基本都在一个又一个的山谷里兜转。阴沉的天,偶有几缕调皮的光线透过厚厚的云层射在山谷里,小桥流水人家,古道西风衰货,慢悠悠的在旁人眼里显得老油条的骑行在这这宛如世外桃源般的溪谷中,倒也十分惬意。能前进就好,即便它确实很慢,我当下就是这么想的。蓦地,身后传来一阵熟悉的声音,一群从广东来的大学生骑行队从身旁结群而过,他们也去拉萨,但行程和我不同,我到楚雄,他们去黑井镇,寒暄道别后这群精壮的小年轻很快就消失于视线,当我缓慢地爬上一个坡顶时,又见到了他们,其中一位兄弟手指着黑乎乎的隧道口说,里头啥都看不见,我们怕你没有手电,所以等你。乱感动了一番。在他们的簇拥下,进入伸手不见五指的山洞里穿行,从亮处一下子进入暗处,其实即便是强光手电也没多大的用处,慌乱中总算骑出了这恐怖的空间。后来又接二连三地经过这种像黑洞似的隧道,不过之后是我一个人独行。我和他们的速度不同,应该说是相差太远。所以一早放弃结伴的念头,能有共同语言共同爱好相当的消费能力还要有匹配的体力,能从头结伴走到尾这该是多难得的缘分啊。谁也别去拖累谁,就让我独自继续骑着这只小毛驴去看戏吧。噩梦终于来临,蜜蜂箐隧道出现在眼前,我的乖乖,这么可爱的名字和如此恐怖的黑洞结合在一起,我晕。兄弟们,帮人帮到底,你们怎么可以因为我的不争气而如此残忍的抛下我呀。前面是无尽的黑暗,后面隐约传来大卡车的轰鸣声,没有方向感,只能凭着第六感在摸索,几次踉跄着要跌倒,完全失控,我勒个去乌云把整个山谷完全给笼罩住了,光线如同隆冬的黄昏一般,我停在路边换上冲锋裤披上雨衣,在森林里独自穿行,翻过垭口后忽然豁然开朗,阳光重现,雨也逐渐停了。膝盖兄,上午至今咱俩还算合作愉快吧,看到公路的指示牌再有一半的路程就要到楚雄了,给力哦!12:15,进入一家算得上窗明几净的路边餐馆准备进食,老板公热情地上前询问我要吃什么,我说吃面,他说小兄弟先坐坐很快就好,谁知真正话事的老板娘横空出现说木有面条,只能点菜,我看着满冰柜的食物完全没有胃口,就礼貌告辞了。我转身离去的那下,隐隐感觉到身后寒光一现,还有端坐在饭桌前可能是他们家媳妇儿那渴望且哀怨的眼神。我其实有点后悔,骑了一上午几乎只看到这家有提供饭食的,错过了这家店,那我的午餐是否就没有着落了?想想包里还有3条在昆明买的士力架和一包牛肉干,咽了咽口水,继续前行。半小时后,一个无名小镇横空出现,我挑剔地找了家永安羊肉店想吃碗热腾腾的羊肉面,这可是我一上午的心愿,看来马上就要实现了。而且这真是我们永安同胞开的店吗,他是否会以他乡遇故知的热忱边给我添上几块硕大的羊肉边满脸堆笑地说都是自己人不容易啊随便吃之类的话。显然,我想太多了。忙碌的老板既听不出有任何福建口音,甚至没有任何一位经商者应有的低姿态。而是满不在乎的问我有几个人。“抱歉,一个人的午餐没空做。”我可以说脏话吗?!太特么的愤愤不平了幸好还有一家脏乎乎的清真餐馆开门迎客,还是刚才大爷我没看上眼的。“羊肉面一晚多少钱?”我冷冰冰地问道。"4块。”这么便宜能吃吗?算了,仅此一家,别无选择。(奉劝诸位,凡事往往都有两面性,别被表面的假象所蒙蔽。)完全出乎意料的美味啊,且分量适中,色香味俱全。我都舍不得立即开吃了,一阵猛拍加微博风卷残云,坐在门口的椅子上思索昨晚@truthfree老弟的留言,说今天会有一段烂路要经历(他们称之为七里坡),上午没感觉有什么糟糕的体验,那想必就在下午的路上。预计还有40公里左右的路,掐指一算,即便我的时速仅达到6公里,再有6个多小时也该到楚雄了,现在时刻下午1点多,那应该最迟8点会到,正好天黑。平均时速6公里,不会这么悲催吧。不要有感性的烦恼!稻盛老先生的话在耳边响起。上路吧。(事实上一整天都没有经历什么明显的烂路,看来心态真的很重要,一旦背水一战,那什么都不是困难了)实在是太喜欢这段路了!虽然有不停地上下坡,但不算太难(看来鼓岭宦溪的反复训练没有白费哦)。午后充足的光线照在低垂的云层上,幻化出的阴影给远处的山脉染上变化的色彩,村庄、溪流点缀在无穷尽的翠绿之中。满山遍野栽种的烟草开出的花所散发出的香味弥漫在整个山谷之中,路旁几只超萌的牛牛无辜地和我深情对视。接着又偶遇几位逆行而来的车友,互致手势问好。感觉非常良好~最重要的是膝盖兄和我的配合越来越好,这完全可以感觉得出来。有时候,出现摩擦是难免的,但是如果大家都本着解决问的态度来对话,凡事都有转机。而若是任一方一意孤行,结果就是一拍两散。膝盖兄,我对您的感激之情无法言表,请受我一拜(呵呵,吃亏的还是你)。正当我满怀欣喜一路小跑之际,一个突如其来的画面闯入视线,心里一紧。右前方的路旁,有两位拾荒的老人背负着沉重的柴火步履蹒跚地相互搀扶行走着。我不忍心超越,缓慢地跟随在后,再一会索性停在路边,拿出相机跟着拍下这令人难过的画面。左侧的那位老人突然跌倒!那股瞬间强大的力量拽得另一位老人也向着她倾斜!我急忙骑上前去,一下子就看到了两张爬满了岁月痕迹充满着无助的脸。原来左侧跌倒的那位老人双目失明。右侧老人卸下身上的重担,去扶起那位跌倒的老人。但是她所卸下的担子实在是太重了而且捆扎得明显不牢,我急忙接过她的手替她扶着那捆由一堆废树皮和几个空矿泉水瓶组成的劳动成果,心想这能值几个钱啊。右侧老人哆嗦着把那根断了的绳子接上再放到失明老人的背上,可她一站起身绳子又断了。我手足无措地继续扶着那捆东西。她们笑着问我从哪里来要去向何方,她们说老表你应该骑着摩托车去,这样太慢。她们的方言我听得不是很懂,只好有一句没一句的回应着。我犹豫了一下,从车把包里取出日常备用的零钱,总共六十五块零两毛,我把钱塞到老人的手里,说这是我的一点心意,她愕然地想要拒绝但还是拽紧了钱,我说帮不上你们什么忙,希望你能接受。她跟失明的老人说了一些话,我实在不忍心看着那双溢出两行浊泪的残缺的双眼,为了缓解气氛,我说帮你们拍张照好吗,她们开始配合地看着镜头,我拍完后把相机递到她们的面前,失明老人羞愧地说看不见,我颤抖着手又把相机递到另一位老人的面前,她那看上去即便完好但显然已经严重老花的双眼想必也很难看清。“老表,我把钱分给她了,你看到的哦”我给的是一张50的整钱和几张10元以下的零钱,她把50留给了自己。我心里暗叹了一下,可以理解。看到失明老人快乐的表情和她身旁散落的柴火,我觉得是时候要走了。“你是个活神仙,老表...”,两位老人语无伦次地说着。我努力地把手中那捆柴火立定后,转身离去。身后留下两个伫立在原地目送我离开的孤单身影,我实在没有勇气去想象她们的未来。人都有命,她们属于她们口中说的可怜人。我日后如果失明,身旁会有一个搀扶着我的人吗?这个国家究竟要富裕到什么程度才能让人老有所养?温总胡总你们口中的和谐社会究竟在哪里?想太多了。继续前行。有一户人家在门口杀牛,我停下来跟他们点头示意后拿起相机拍了几张,被砍断四肢剥了皮的牛的尸体突兀地躺在地上,流淌的血汇成的沟上爬上了贪婪的苍蝇。我盯着那只牛隆起的肚子,反复拍了很多照片。这极有可能是一只怀孕的母牛!那家人被我拍的似乎不好意思,有两人停止手上熟练的活,走回屋内。单车缓缓地骑入楚雄州的沿江路,我好像记得@truthfree老兄当时的微博写到下榻的是在彝人古镇,那离这还有段距离,我停在红绿灯前向一摩的叔叔问路。一辆大巴在我跟前停下,下来了两位背着大包有着无敌年轻面庞的姑娘,我们对视了一下,忘了是谁先开口搭讪,总之愉快地在树下交谈了起来。我可是憋了几天没怎么跟人类好好交流过了。我可能说的太多了,和陌生姑娘第一次交流就这么兴高采烈的,这么唐突,一点也不像你给自己含蓄的大叔定位。朱小弟啊,朱小弟,本性难移的老朱小弟。树下合影,微博互粉,依依惜别。好像忘了说,认识你们很高兴---来自文山两位美女:@minmin熊和@黄瓜拌面酱。楚雄州的这条沿江路在黄昏时分应该是一天中最美的,干涸浑浊的护城河水一点也不有碍观瞻,一样是高原才有的低低的云层,草坪里散落的情侣们和敞开猥琐的肚皮惬意地晒着太阳的大叔们,远处逐渐进入眼帘颇具规模的彝人古镇,组成了一幕绝佳的风景画面。我把车子停靠在那根写着320国道的电线杆上,由近至远地拍了几张照片。彝人古镇,我来了。楚雄州政府的相关项目负责人想必在丽江束河古镇做过一番精心的考察,太他妈像了,除了招商没做好外(满大街充斥着缅甸玉器店和带有明显东南亚风情的经营人员),结果是引来了一堆又一堆的旅游团带领着一批又一批引颈待宰的倒霉蛋,像达叔之流的精明小资才不稀罕这地儿呢。古镇里很多店铺在转让,这和旅游旺季的现在显得格格不入。我选定了一家路段不错颇具规模貌似精品酒店的客栈,进内询价,前台姑娘说间原价270,特价120,我故技重施的扮可怜,结果实收80元每晚。酒店的硬件设施实在是太对得起这价格了,我美美地洗了个热水澡,再把洗好的衣服晒到二楼的阳台。背着相机轻装出门,先去药店买了瓶乐敦康眼药水(这两天额上混合着防晒霜的汗水大量流入眼睛导致眼睛充血模糊),吃了根忘了是伊利还是蒙牛的雪糕还在促销路演试喝了一口康师傅新上市的经典奶茶,打听到这家泡泡网吧的地址。再上传些照片就要下了,吃个晚饭或者宵夜喝几瓶啤酒回房睡觉。明天继续努力。7月8日,禄丰至楚雄,90公里。感觉良好。朱小弟,加油!8264这个论坛的贴子发表得好辛苦啊,照片只限3张,而且刚才一直提示我没有权限使用URL什么的,有人可以支招么?每天晚上写日记是个不好的习惯,大脑过于活跃,老睡不好,想起床看到外头天还没亮,更别指望能找到吃早餐的地儿,彝族人民过惯了夜生活,凌晨两点客栈附近酒吧里猜拳行令各种淫笑声不绝于耳。 云南的时差和福州至少有2小时。麻烦那位揉着睡眼有着水桶美腰的妹纸开了宾馆大门的锁,蹑手蹑脚地走在空无一人的古镇的街上,瞬间隐入这家刚阔别不到7小时的网吧。(对于无家可归有家不愿归的人来讲,网吧还真是好地方,看来我真是脱离大众生活太久了)再熬一小时,等看看哪家早餐店的老板最勤劳,能够像我一样有着睡得比妓晚起得比鸡早的苦逼的命。早安,楚雄!又是阴霾的天,逐渐恢复的体能带来轻松的心情。离开楚雄没多远的路上遇到了三位背包徒步前往香格里拉的广东妹纸,同是苦逼,拍照留念,互勉!看到了一只老的不成样子的宠物狗,瞎了一只眼,四肢蹒跚的走在路上,没来得及拍它的正面,心想咱家的狗狗到老的时候也会成这个样子。唉,岁月就是把***杀猪刀。平静孤独,快乐幸福,在这条没有行人的路上,永远年轻,永远热泪盈眶。一路音乐相伴,李逼万总周云蓬还有FLY哥哥的卡奇社,听到“达摩流浪者”这首歌时,恰好无意中看到320国道3000米的路牌。总是不停地在路牌上涂鸦的人们啊,您们到底想炫耀些神马**?!上午遭遇的大量上下坡路况还不算太难。坐在路边喝一口水,想起那天在公车上,我盯着一个在打盹的长腿姑娘看,向他们使了个眼神,老驼背缓缓地从口中吐出两个字:“so so”,不一会,雄哥一脸贱笑地跟着说:“just so so”想到明天就要到大理了,在微博上发了个言让喜欢明信片的兄弟姐妹们把地址私信或留言给我。在路边一家司机餐馆就餐,点了个辣椒炒肉要了罐啤酒,老板听说我要去拉萨,送了碗菜汤给我。坐在餐馆外闲扯的村民们对我这个怪异的外乡人显得很感兴趣,问长问短,我这不靠谱的旅行念头成了他们饭后最好的谈资。 一路上都在想着米饭,连吃了三天米线,怕怕。我对老板说别把饭装得太满怕吃不完浪费,结果却一口气来了个底朝天。途经一段铁路,看到铁轨旁的栏杆上披着很多旧裤子,颇为纳闷(这都是过铁路时不慎遇难者的遗物吗)。一辆火车刚呼啸而过,就看见有个牧羊人赶着羊群急匆匆地越过铁路,有两只小黑羊估计看对方不爽已经很久了,刚爬上路面就吵了起来,当场角斗,真逗!好路终于走完,准备爬坡之际,看到有个骑友靠在路旁休息,他来自青海,走完青藏线现在倒骑滇藏线,接下来还打算上北京进内蒙然后绕回家,他在色季拉山捡了个装备不佳的兄弟,那苦逼的辐条断了几根,现在后面推车。过了会儿,坡上又下来了位兄弟,从北京骑到拉萨现在还要再骑回去。唉,这年头,像我这样脑袋有病的人还真是不少。正当我们拍完照依依惜别之际,坡下骑上来了三位老外,跟我今天的目的地一样,普棚,还有34公里。众人因老外的出现显得格外激动,争相和那位大方妩媚的姑娘拍照。青海哥让我和老外一起走,并叮嘱说今天接下来的路全是以上坡为主的烂路,路上小心。(事实证明@truthfree兄弟前面说的七里坡应该就是这里,而不在昨天的路程,今天绝对是极度苦逼的一天)如果没有经历连续上坡令人崩溃的沮丧,是无法体会到在下坡路上御风而驰的快感。如果没有在暴晒下挥汗如雨最后体渴至极致,是无法想象左手拎着山寨冰棒右手握着正宗可乐再完全不顾吃相把头埋进西瓜里狼吞虎咽时的激动。老外们来自瑞士,大卫(哥 30岁)、雷迪霞(哥马子 30岁)、卢卡(弟 28岁),大卫和雷迪霞是单车环游世界者,在路上已经走了3年,来到中国7个月,去过广西、湖南等地。卢卡刚办了旅游证来中国,也跟着骑了1个月了。大卫和雷迪霞会说几句简单的汉语,卢卡基本上完全不会。我问大卫要骑往何方,他说老外无法获得西藏的证,只能去到丽江或者香格里拉。我说可知道丽江是中国的艳遇之城,他没听懂,我想了想,解释说是best one night stand city of china,雷迪霞在前面骑着听到这句话时回头看了我一眼,大卫遗憾地耸了耸肩,指着雷迪霞说:“她是我的美女”,我点了点头,大声地对雷迪霞说:“don`t care,just kidding”路上休息的时候,大卫说卢卡的膝盖受伤了,上坡路很痛苦,卢卡点点头,我说前两天也有类似的经历,后来通过调整好多了,卢卡说是因为以前踢足球时候的旧伤。卢卡卷起裤管的时候,我看到他的膝盖上贴着块膏药,我示意他把那杂牌坑爹的膏药撕下扔了,试一下我那神奇的magic spray,雷迪霞听到这个词语的时候,做了个要晕倒的姿势,难道她也听说过西门大官人曾经使用过的七步迷魂散。喷上药后,大卫感激地对我点头示意,继续上路。坑爹的上坡烂路使得骑行的时速只能保持6~7公里左右,雷迪霞开路,卢卡紧随其后,我和大卫收尾。由于他们的骑行速度明显略快过我,我很快就觉得累了,开始想念自己一个人骑行时的轻松惬意,于是,在他们停下拍照时,我不再等候迅速前行想甩掉他们,没一会,卢卡又追了上来,问我要不要吃一点甜品,我说随便,接着在一处有着开阔视野的悬崖边上,分享了他们行李里的面包。我主意已定,还是一个人走舒坦些,终于找了个机会不告而别,骑上一个逆光的坡时,在一颗大树下突然看见一个盘腿席地而坐的年轻人,身边放着一个大背包以及一本地图,我问他要去哪儿,他说要徒步前往大理,我说普棚离这不远,今晚可以考虑在那儿下榻,他摇了摇头说,能走到哪儿算哪儿,露宿是他的旅行方式。下了最后一个很长的坡后,进入普棚镇,这个镇子安静得异乎寻常,仿佛刚被鬼子洗劫过一般,几乎看不到什么年轻人,小镇上的居民好奇地打量着我后窃窃私语,我快速地把镇子骑了个遍确定了这儿只有两家简陋的旅社,在我决定去投宿村口的那家店时,在下坡拐弯处又遇见了这三个老外。唉,阴魂不散,就勉强凑合吧。我跟这三人走进了扬帆宾馆,老板说双人间每晚30元,三人间每晚40元,我说就要这两间吧(反正我喜欢自己一个人睡的踏实点)。老外们用瑞士语交头接耳了一番后,雷迪霞跑过来跟我说,如果要两个双人间,让卢卡跟我住,这样可以帮我省一点费用,我说也行。我用我的身份证登记了住宿并付清了所有房费,雷迪霞把他们的那份给我时我没有零钱找便少收了5块,她感激地说路上吃了我请客的西瓜和饮料已经很不好意思了,并问我要去吃晚餐吗,我说当然,她说那晚餐必须由他们来请客,我扬了扬眉头。我和大卫、卢卡走在前往觅食的路上,我说雷迪霞怎么还没跟上来,卢卡说她吃了一些糖果后就不吃晚饭了,大卫插了句她要减肥,卢卡不屑地说:“stupid think”我这劳累了一天,一心想喝点酒,又担心习惯了穷游的老外预算有限,我先问他们想吃什么,他们说由我来决定,我说这样子晚上我来请客,我们吃火锅喝啤酒,他们连连摇手说喝酒绝对是个好主意但是我请客是不对的。傍晚七点,普棚大部分的商店都在准备关门,吃了好几次闭门羹,最后在一家牛羊肉店找到吃的,老板娘说的话我听得不是很懂,我指手画脚地点了几道菜,让老外帮忙把桌椅搬到门外,再抱了一箱啤酒出来。镇上的小孩对我们很是好奇,摆出各种姿势让我们拍照后再过来围观相机的屏幕,开朗乐观的大卫跟他们玩得不亦乐乎,时而鬼脸时而怪异动作,腼腆斯文的卢卡则安静地坐在一旁。开喝之后,我们的话就开始多了起来,跟老外对话确实能迅速提高英语的口语水平,为了更好地进行交流,我带了平板电脑出来,一些无法表达的词汇要借助里面安装的翻译软件。他们学会了nice to meet u叫做幸会,还有cheers不能乱说有些中国人会理解为去死。我们干杯了more and more我问说德国的啤酒好喝那瑞士的啤酒如何,卢卡说一般般,但是欧洲啤酒度数普遍会高很多,他有时候喝一两升就要醉了,除了啤酒外他喝不了别的酒,墨西哥的塔基拉三杯倒,我笑着说可以试一下中国的二锅头,大卫插嘴说有52度,卢卡听了快晕过去。我们聊到了杰克凯鲁亚克的在路上,蝎子乐队的wind of change,他们很喜欢bob marley,他们欢快地唱的时候我也似懂非懂地跟着摇头晃脑地哼着。大卫说他和雷迪霞弄了个英法双语的网站),来记录他们的环球之旅,接下来会把和我在一起的经历写篇文章上传,他认真地在我的平板电脑里写下了那个网址。大卫会说好几国的语言,最擅长的是法语和意大利语。卢卡之前瑞士同时打四份工作,还是个私人健身教练,爱好广泛,滑雪、攀岩、网球样样精通。大卫说卢卡有个孩子得了类似crazy的躁狂症,他很痛苦,所以辞了工作来中国找他,卢卡点了点头。我说我对人生也充满疑惑,希望通过骑行能够想通一些事情。大卫指着面前的一碗炒饭问老板娘说要多少钱,答案是4块,大卫对我说其实人不需要过多的物质就可以过得很好了,他不想成为金钱的奴隶,这样的人生没有意思,我点头表示认同。有个酒鬼拎着酒杯在我们身边晃荡了一会后,突然搬了张凳子一屁股就坐在我的身旁,又拿起桌上的筷子欲伸向卢卡面前的食物,我急忙夺过他的筷子,直视他的眼神问他想干嘛,他说的方言我听不懂,我大声喊叫老板娘过来赶人,老板娘在远处畏缩地看着我们,我明白了这就是当地的一个地痞流氓。硬的不行就来软的,我迅速满脸堆笑地搭着他的肩膀说:“哥,我们今天刚骑行到这里在路边吃饭,来,抽支烟”,那酒徒没有接过我递出的烟,说了一句:“你在玩我是吧”(这句我倒是听懂了),我急忙继续媚笑地说:“哥,我今天在路上遇到这两个老外,他们环游世界来到中国,我英语不好急死我了,刚才多有得罪不要见怪”。接下来我用三寸不烂之舌终于让哥消了气,请哥抽烟陪哥喝酒让哥吃菜,酒徒其实倒也不是坏人,他也是因为好奇才接近我们,他说如果他那位上大学的儿子在家的话也可以像我一样和老外这么交流着。大卫和卢卡目瞪口呆地看着这一幕。末了,我跟他们解释了我和酒徒交手的过程,我说其实每个人都可能是坏人,也可能是好人,你自己眼中看到是什么人,他就会是什么人,一念成佛一念成魔。二人纷纷点头竖起拇指表示高见。这是个典型的只有留守老人和儿童的村镇。典型的中国特色下的社会现象。我提议玩些游戏,大卫立即兴奋了起来,怪声怪气地说起“剪刀石头布”,卢卡立即会意,他们演示了各个国家的“剪刀石头布”的说法(我还以为这是中国人自创的酒令,汗颜),我们接着又玩了猜左右手瓶盖有没有,轮到大卫做庄的时候,他身后围观的小孩想尽办法偷看他的双手,他一会钻到桌下一会把双手藏到衣服内,乐不可支。3个人,15瓶650ml大理啤酒,连同3盘牛肉3碗炒饭几个蔬菜一共126元。我悄悄地买了单。大卫和卢卡既激动又惭愧,问我打算在大理呆几天,如果有机会他们希望能在大理做东。卢卡把大卫的手机号码给了我,叫我无论如何要call他。人生有时候适可而止,我没想过还要再和他们聚首。满天星斗下,我们微醺着走回扬帆客栈,轮流洗澡。我感觉膝盖的伤已好得差不多了,就将剩余的云南白药喷雾给了卢卡。卢卡戴着头灯拿着本书说他有夜读的习惯,让我把灯关了好睡。我问他看的是不是lonely planet(这是老外来中国人手一本的圣经),他摇摇头说是一本关于信仰的小说。过了一会,我又说do you believe god,他犹豫了一会说从前信,现在不知道,他又补充了一句其实他是个基督徒。他反问我相信神吗,我说以前不信,现在开始有点信了。酒没喝透,似醉非醉,口干舌燥。并且整晚为了和老外对话,用脑过度,一闭上眼想的全是英语词汇。没睡好,悲催。二师兄的西游记(day 5)好不容易熬到天亮,卢卡还在熟睡。我蹑手蹑脚地把行李和单车搬到门外,开始洗漱、写笔记和整理行囊。还是阴霾的天。山里早晨的温度很低,我换上长袖速干衣骑车出门 0830,小镇的餐馆还没开门迎客,我在一家饼店里买了一个类似光饼的干粮,啃了几口,很干。一只趴在地上打盹的大黄狗很讨巧的走到我面前,可怜兮兮地看着我,我撕下几块碎饼扔得远远的,它高兴地跑过去叼着饼又跑回来蹲坐在我的车前。再经过一家蛋糕店时,我又买了半斤蛋糕挂在车把上。今天的目是大理。上关风,下关花,苍山雪,洱海月,一个传说中风花雪月的世界。遥想:大理城内夜幕低垂,慕容府中华灯初上,王姑娘刚被表哥训斥完回到房中闷闷不乐,正欲轻解罗衫上炕歇息,忽闻窗外一阵嚷嚷语嫣姐姐,在下乃来自福州之矮穷挫朱小弟,自幼爱慕姐姐,今来贵地求见一面,望留宿一宿,明早即走。王姑娘从门缝往外窥视,看见一衣裳不整胡子邋遢的汉子牵着一只破驴立于门外,心中不禁……途径祥云县时,先是走错路,懊恼不已,接着看到路边有家酸笋鸡餐馆,那个口水啊,进店后老板说最小一只三斤多你吃得完吗?出门后连找的三家饭店都是只做火锅,不接散客,气死我也!昨夜酗酒且失眠的缘故,今天感觉明显体虚。在野外做大完毕,通体舒爽,起身提起裤子时被山风一吹,冷汗直冒。感觉体渴得厉害,喝运动饮料也不顶用,看到路边有个卖梨的小摊,慌不迭把车子一丢,径直跑去买了一斤(6个小梨子),几乎是一口气全吃光,临走前我把车把上挂着剩余的3块小蛋糕给了那位卖梨的老伯,他非常意外,拿起几个梨子往我包里塞,我婉拒后飞车离去翻过最后几座山头,筋疲力竭。右膝后侧的韧带拉的很疼。我几乎是哭丧着脸进入大理市区,向人打听古城的方向,结果吓了我一跳,居然还有十几公里。远眺苍山,山顶上神奇地披着一层流动着的厚厚的白云。这就是传说中的苍山雪吗?美!一路上不停地问路、喝水、休息,这十几公里路骑了足足有一个多小时。洱海明显受到污染,岸边漂浮着大量藻类污染物。灰色的天,灰色的湖,我那疲惫的心情也是灰色的。过了洱海大桥,终于看到古城的指示牌,而且一出现就是相邻的两个,前面一个写着距离古城8公里,后面那个写着10公里,这坑爹的路牌,是不是有那个部门需要出来承担一下如此乌龙的责任?!驻足于古城南门外,原计划入住yha的三友客栈,结果接电话的姑娘没有给我带来好感。无意中看见路边有家驴窝驿栈,大堂里面人头攒动,进去一问单人间每晚90元,并且处于一楼单车可以放入房中,就这吧。一进入房间,还没来得及卸下行囊就四仰八叉地躺在床上,点了支烟。放松地感觉真是爽歪了!今天算是彻底把大爷我给骑垮了,浑身上下哪都痛。新增的烦恼包含但不局限:眼睛因进入大量混合着防晒乳的汗水而开始发炎、右膝后侧的韧带拉伤、菊蛋线彻底失守(菊花和蛋蛋之间的部位被磨破)老板,快把风花雪月四大美女都给我叫上来瞅瞅~躺了一会,心想还有很多事待办,还是挣扎着起来吧。洗漱完毕,带着相机轻装进城。久违7年的大理古城,没有感觉到明显变化,依旧是丽江的翻版。在德克士吃了份汉堡套餐,在邮局门口的报刊亭买了20张明信片,顺便打听了次日邮局开门的时间,接着去酒吧街溜达了一圈,临回去前又在烧烤摊吃了些东西。极度的疲累加上前几天的透支,美美地睡了一觉。二师兄的西游记(day 6 ) 二师兄的西游记(day 6 )看来昨晚睡前费尽周折地把屋内所能看见的七只蚊子给灭了是非常重要的,并且因为实在太累了而无法坚持走到古城内入住已预定好的处于酒吧街的青旅是对的,我只想好好地睡个觉,睡得死死的,任凭有劫匪入室来将我先奸后杀都浑然不顾。早上醒来完全放松地躺在床上,真特么的爽!我坐在驴窝客栈的院子里,像抄作业似的草草写了20封明信片,太久没写这么字了,歪歪扭扭像小学生的手笔。整理行囊时,拿出包里的ABC日用绵柔,一阵纠结今天到底要不要用上。出门没多久就碰到了一行4人的骑行队,两个来自北京目拉萨,两位来自珠海目德钦。都是大一的学生,不过已经找不到青涩的感觉了。和这几个九零后的小清新一起骑行,感觉话还行,他们对我这位大叔也颇为尊重。我觉得我好像成了那个不慎跌落悬崖的倒霉鬼川哥。阿德据说没骑多远就摔倒了,浑身伤痕累累。大理到丽江之间还没开通高速公路,简称为大丽线的国道上车流如织,各种污染物吸入肺中,狭窄的山道上险象环生。听他们说今天的目是120公里外的鹤庆,而不是我所了解的松桂。死猪反正不怕开水烫,爱哪儿哪儿。一整天上下坡,强度很大。这几位刚第一天上路的小伙子明显感到亚历山大。好在最后以连续下坡七公里作为行程的结束曲,令已经苦逼了一整天的大伙儿都非常满意!并且几乎所有人都刷新了自己的骑行最高速度,我的瞬间时速是59.92。下榻松桂某超值客栈,有着洁白的床单和无限量的热水,每位仅收十元!晚餐AA制解决,点了一份羊肉火锅,尽享口舌之欲。喝了几瓶啤酒,话涉及风月,众人乐不可支,一天之疲乏消失殆尽。二师兄的西游记(day 7)国道边的旅馆日后真是不能住的,轮胎声、喇叭声、甚至是吵架声,彻夜不绝于耳,又是一夜无眠,苦!这一路至今,只有一晚的睡眠是正常的。不过,体能逐渐适应倒是个不争的事实。菊蛋线经过伤口清道夫的修复已有明显好转,膝盖或韧带也基本没太大问,我是不是已经成功晋级了?! 五人行一路嘻嘻哈哈,独乐乐和众乐乐都别有乐趣。今天将要抵达丽江。艳遇之城,妹纸们,你们都准备好迎接帅哥了吗!?本以为很轻松的路程,结果还是不停地翻山越岭,下午四点左右终于抵达丽江古城。一阵突如其来的短时暴雨使我们的队伍小慌乱了一番。雨后的彩虹悬挂在古城上空。在雄哥的远程连线帮助下,以每人100元的价格入住位于四方街半山观景台的胡思年月客栈,老板阿鬼来自福州(同福州胡思年月酒吧),和蔼可亲接待到位,末了还亲自带我们前往美味可口的黄焖鸡餐厅。六人正式出发前的会师宴,自然少不了一番豪饮,北京的帅小伙阿彭还没等到上菜就喝挂了,同是北京来的小酒窝喝了4瓶左右也挂了,珠海小伙子倒是酒量不错,最后还要求我必须要带他们去酒吧寻找艳遇。顺道在四方街的樱花屋要了一个靠窗的卡座,猜枚跳舞。没有美女,没有收获。深夜,微醺的我们踩着古城的青石板一路发着牢骚回到客栈。酒精的作用下,我连衣服都没脱倒头就睡。据说还可耻地打了呼噜。二师兄的西游记(day 8)依然是7点钟准时醒来,阿德和小廖在另一张大床上熟睡着。看看浴室镜中的自己,皮肤松弛胡子拉渣,尤其是眼袋部分被晒伤后变得十分松弛,终于彻底暴露了岁月在我身上施暴过的痕迹。已经完全是个大叔形象了。看来养尊处优和餐风露宿的面容确实是完全不一样的,即使这才经历了几天而已,心里暗叹了一声。今天要在丽江好好休整一天。要做的事情还很多:洗衣服;给单车保养上油;买支抗皱紧实的眼霜、晒后修复面贴膜和芦荟凝胶,然后在风景绝佳的客栈里做做肌肤护理。顺便再给亲们寄出来自艳遇之城的明信片。先在庭院里泡了会茶,看了看微博,结果居然收到一位姑娘同游虎跳峡的同城邀请,我回复她说今天很忙。将脏衣服放入洗衣机后,拿着相机四处觅景,信步走上雄哥口中有着绝佳视觉效果的二楼观景屋,整个古城尽收眼底。真是美啊!似乎始终与我无缘的艳遇之城。观景屋有两台电脑可以上网,我嬉皮笑脸地把两位正在不知疲倦地打着游戏的其中一位小女孩给哄骗走(我说只借用一会),结果我赖在那儿两三个小时都还没走,她百无聊赖地趴在弟弟身旁的木桌上打盹。终于,她那可爱的弟弟对着我说:叔叔,你可以让她玩一会电脑吗?抱歉,小朋友,大叔我也想下了,你们家的网络太卡,我要去网吧呆上一会。顺便邀上阿德一同去吃午餐。大雨中,在邮局买了要由丽江寄出的明信片,在银行ATM取了些钱,经过那家有着难忘回忆的361度专卖店(6年前的美好回忆),在川菜店吃了酸菜鱼,在某家大型超市买了上述的保养品和一些补给品。二师兄的西游记(day 8 补充)五一街的小酒吧文艺气息浓厚,初哥的扯淡屋也开在其中,无数次听到雄哥提及,今晚抽空请客栈老板鬼哥带路前往。扯淡屋没有店招,隐匿于五一街末段,面积20平米不到,一楼以歌手表演为主,二楼可以泡茶和观影。这儿的酒水没有价,随善功德。初哥去了拉萨没有见着,店里只有一位来自广西的替班歌手阿峰和另一位阳光可爱的大学生姑娘。顾客进进出出,三三两两,看不出有谁是真心喜欢这地方或是在认真地听歌,大部分都是过来拍照发微博装个逼。阿峰整晚几乎都唱着许巍的歌,很投入,唱得很有味道。我点了一首阿或姑娘喜欢听的我思念的城市,也映衬出自己的心情。我思念的城市已是黄昏为何我总对你一往情深曾经给我快乐 也给我创伤曾经给我希望 也给我绝望我在遥远的城市 陌生的人群感觉着你遥远的忧伤我的幻想我在遥远的城市 陌生的人群感觉着你遥远的忧伤我的幻想风路过的时候 没能吹走这个城市太厚的灰尘多少次的雨水 从来没有冲掉你那沉重的忧伤你的忧伤 像我的绝望那样漫长风路过的时候 没能吹走这个城市太厚的灰尘多少次的雨水 从来没有冲掉你那沉重的忧伤你的忧伤 像我的绝望那样漫长二师兄的西游记(day 9) 离开丽江,一样阴霾的天。从北门坡往拉市海的方向骑行,路上遇到来自贵州的阿陈,顺手把他给捡了。原计划一天的行程结果半天左右就快跑完了,人多也有好处啊,你追我赶的,平路都飚到了48km/h(瞬间速度而已,别误会)。刚进入虎跳峡的这段路正在修路,塞车绵延长达几公里,我们在拥堵的车流里上窜下跳,呼啸而过,十昏拉轰!阿陈、我和阿德三人先行杀出重围,在大桥上等候还困在里头的其他骑友。途中休息,偶遇玉龙雪山,海拔5000多米的顶峰在云中若隐若现。下午沿着虎跳峡而上,眼看着浑浊湍急的金沙江水咆哮而下,为了减少明天的强度(要上到海拔3000多),今天多爬了二十几公里的上坡路,绝对令人崩溃的最后五公里,众人蹲坐在路旁的小卖部,一边喝着一瓶三块钱的山寨百事可乐,一边欣赏着阿德哥那肿胀的旧伤口和今日新添加的晒伤后的水泡,猥琐的小酒窝躲在一旁用他手中的相机记录下幸灾乐祸的我们。夜宿宝山客栈,小廖哥言中有着村长风范的老板长着与我颇有几分相似,晚饭时他身着民族服装端着泸沽湖特产的白酒为我们献上歌曲。客栈的浴室在国道另一边的房子里,我被漏电的门把电了一下后摸黑走出那个充满灵异幻想的院子,再冒着生命危险穿越暗黑的国道走回客栈房间,哎哟刚才似乎没穿外裤,万一发生车祸横死街头那死相可真是不雅。今天路上又捡了一个来自贵州的精壮小伙子阿陈,这家伙有着足够强壮的身体和愿意担当的精神,很快就被公推为新一任领导人,不知道这位新上任的老板对我这位满口脏话不思进取的落后分子有神马看法。但是自从他来后,我又恢复了抽烟的不良习惯。明天一早出发,预计傍晚之前会到达那个消失的地平线。再次勾起我六年前的美好回忆,你好!香格里拉。屋外下着大雨,不愿冒雨前往客栈的公用厕所,就站在阳台对着花圃随便解决了一下。重新回到屋内,趁睡意还未完全来临之前细细观察了一下这个每位仅收费十元的房间,洁白的床单,四个屋角都非常对称的落满了蜘蛛网,我睡的床位旁的窗帘后至少有数百只形状各异的昆虫尸体,窗外虎跳峡的金沙江水涛声依旧。依旧迟迟无法入眠。操!赞赞赞赞转载(2)二师兄的西游记(day 10)刚走出客栈大门,就看见山间雾气弥漫,路旁野花盛开,林里晨鸟低语,谷底江水咆哮,宛如仙境一般的通往香格里拉之路。出了虎跳峡镇后,连续上坡40几公里,海拔上升到3400米。满视野的高山草甸风光,云雾,野花,森林,流水,村庄,迷失在这诗画般的香格里拉大峡谷。17:00左右,抵达香格里拉县,直奔独克宗古城,yha的庭院里坐着很多貌似情趣高雅的姑娘,不过可惜已经没有房间了。改投这家有着超级无敌阳光房大庭院的亚那青波客栈,双人间每晚100元,在当下旅游旺季,这种价格令我颇为意外。莽撞的阿德哥无知者无畏,一路抛下我们绝尘而去,结果走丢了。我和小廖哥在放置好行李后只好又拖着疲惫不堪的身子骑车出来找他。阔别六年,独克宗古城还是老样子,没啥变化。坐在旅馆对面新开张的火锅店里,吃着六年前同样点的那道菜,松茸炖土鸡。物是人非,六年来太多变化。众人酒足饭饱之后各自离场。([]
本次活动是由Haglofs 中国公司策划组织,主旨除了让大家体验瑞典这座“北欧雪国”之外,也希望能让我们更了解Haglofs的历史和发展过程。能够参加这样的活动,我很高兴,感谢8264把这次体验机会给了我,感谢Haglofs 中国公司组织的活动。出发时间正好赶上过年,我在瑞典给大家拜年了。祝愿大家蛇年快乐,吉祥幸福永无疆!2月12日——北京集合出发飞往斯德哥尔摩到了机场看到已经有中文指示牌,真的非常方便。出关时候遇上一些小麻烦,瑞典海关官员在帮助我们办理出关手续。瑞典于中国时差7个小时,北京时间下午2点的飞机,到达是瑞典当地时间1610分。24小时没睡觉,一直过下午,吃了好多次晚饭。斯德哥尔摩在下雪,还好不像导游说的那么冷。2月13日——参观Haglofs总部以及在瑞典的旗舰店低调的正门这里有好几只狗狗,原来是公司允许员工带宠物上班,太人性化了。在总部不仅可以带狗狗上班,公司还为员工每周请来一名按摩师为员工免费按摩服务、还可以任选一天在家工作。品牌总监RICHARD给我们讲解了Haglofs的历史:Haglofs于1914年在瑞典的Dalarna镇上由VictorHaglof所创立。Haglofs在创立之初是以生产背包为主。90多年过去了,Haglofs现在已经成长为瑞典最大的户外品牌,同时也是北欧地区最大的户外产品制造商和提供商,其拥有全线的户外装备并分为服饰、鞋品及配件三大类。公司对环保要求很高,员工买车汽车排量不能高于2.0。对运输都是用海运,就是为了降低碳排放。他们和合作的企业也有一些要求,也是对环保和员工的待遇进行考核。公司有多名世界冠军,如滑雪,跳伞等。Haglofs 看到熟悉的8264公仔,感觉8264真的无处不在。一共60多人的团队,销售额达到7.8个亿有人说我装小清新,其实我真滴是小清新。摄影室Haglofs 有很多咖啡间、处处体现人性化、羡慕。市场经理AMILA女士一直做为我们的陪同,接机,带我们吃饭,带我们去旗舰店。 斯德哥尔摩的Haglofs总部新址,是用厂房改建。位于湖边,景色优美。内部办公环境的简捷舒适让一行人羡慕不已,而作为一个国际知名品牌只有十几个人的设计团队(公司设计服装6人,鞋4人,背包2人),其工作效率之高也给所有人留下深刻印象。Haglofs的旗舰店位于斯千哥尔摩市中心商业区的一个十字路口,300多平的面积虽然不是很大,但分区明确、摆放有序,还有Haglofs特有的鲜明色彩,空间感强,视觉感观也很有冲击性。作为品牌的专卖店,集中体现一种产品,显得更有气势。旗舰店外景Haglofs的旗舰店位于斯千哥尔摩市中心商业区的一个十字路口,300多平的面积虽然不是很大,但分区明确、摆放有序,还有Haglofs特有的鲜明色彩,空间感强,视觉感观也很有冲击性。作为品牌的专卖店,集中体现一种产品,显得更有气势。斯德哥尔摩中心城区街景、晚上由斯德哥尔摩乘火车到Kiruna、这里要说的一句的就是,火车站进入大厅不过安检、无人检票,在车站里面好多大屏幕你只要看好你要做的车次以及站台号、剩下就可以直接上车。斯德哥尔摩到科罗娜火车票990瑞典克朗,在欧洲座火车要比飞机贵很多,Haglofs想的很周到、从斯德哥尔摩坐了18个小时火车到瑞典北边一个小镇KIRUNA,进到北极圈200公里。(火车站)2月14日——入住冰雪酒店本人倾情露点演绎,拒绝裸替。打倒烟民酒吧冰雪酒店里面的酒吧在酒吧庆祝太浪漫了,必须带老婆一起来中国主酒店内景在冰雪酒店举办婚礼的新人手印墙冰雪酒店酒吧,用的酒杯都是冰做的喝完以后摆出的造型,起名节节高冰雪酒店和普通的酒店可以不一样,在零下20多度的房间睡觉还是需要勇气滴,这位洋妞给大家讲解入住酒店一些基本常识、(最不人性化的一点就是没有配暖被窝的、哈哈)([]
此行之初,只是想骑行新藏线。并不曾对“自驾”和“大北线”做功课。后来旅途中有变,大北线便成了这次旅行中精彩的一段。 这次行程,大概可分三个阶段: 1、结伴骑行新藏线(喀什--康西瓦)。 2、千里走单骑(有骑行的日子,也有搭车的日子,红柳滩--塔钦) 3、自驾大北线。对新藏线的心动,来自以下描述: 新藏线起点为新疆叶城,终点为西藏拉孜的国道,全程2140千米。 路况介绍 :它是世界上最艰险的公路之一。它穿越举世闻名的昆仑山、喀喇昆仑山、岗底斯山、喜马拉雅山,翻越16个冰大坂,涉44条冰河,全线经过的大部份地段为“无人区”。平均海拔4500米以上,是世界上海拔最高、道路最险、路况极差和环境最恶劣的高原公路。这就是新藏公路,也被称作国道219线。 关于新藏线的顺口溜 : “行车新藏线,不亚蜀道难。库地大坂险,犹似鬼门关;麻扎大坂尖,陡升五千三;黑卡大坂旋,九十九道湾;界山大坂弯,伸手可摸天……”这段顺口溜,这是新藏线艰险的真实写照。 从叶城往阿里海拔相差很大,一天之内可以从海拔数百米的新疆地段上升到五千余米的麻扎大坂路段,对几乎所有旅行者的身体素质而言是极大的考验和困难,高寒缺氧、雪崩塌方、高山反应、多变的气候及确确实实的风餐露宿等困难,已经超过了许多常人的承受极限. 后来在‘狼塔夏特群’里,正好听到南京的好人锅讲到要骑行此线,心念一动,便加入了。于是有了2011年4月下旬出发的这次旅行。 装备篇资深的网上很多,不多说,略晒下自己的行前准备,留个念想吧。---我的战马:衣物:(长袖速干衣裤、冲锋衣裤、抓绒衣裤、羽绒服、溯溪鞋、高帮登山鞋等)睡袋、帐篷、防潮垫、驮包、弹力绳: 修车工俱、备胎(内胎3条,外胎一条)及配件、炉俱等边防证、身份证、手套、雪套、护膝、雨衣等药品:(后来又添了速效救心丸、氨茶碱、速尿片等。高原长途旅行,这几种药很有用。) 折腾了大半天来整理行囊,书房被搞的满地狼籍,难以下脚。一半装备都整理进驮包了,忽然想起应该给它们合张影。懒得再掏出驮包里的装备,就这样来一张装备们的全家福吧: 全部打完包,去铁通托运车子,整装待发…… 2011年4月25日晚,背起行囊出发了,又是一个人。驾车到火车站,再火车、飞机,一路辗转,路上小磕绊不断:火车晚点急得我跳脚,甩钱雇车飞奔、跳下车我也狂奔才赶上飞机。 飞机上不幸又遭临座的维族小朋友骚扰,还没断奶的两岁小男孩不断地把我的上衣撩起,又或者直接把领口拉到肩膀下…… 维族小男孩的妈妈笑观不语,本人尴尬之极,又不忍责备小孩,后来空姐看不下去把我领走和乘务人员们同坐。再转机,行李被人拿错,折腾半天。 一个人行走,自由+乱糟糟,无语。 终于26日下午16时许到乌鲁木奇,与南京的好人锅、戊名汇合;趁转机喀什的空闲,三人打的(机场大巴每人20元,打的划算共花费36元)直奔乌市,找了戊名要吃的大盘鸡、卡瓦斯美餐一顿再转回机场;终于在晚上0时前到了如家酒店,与青蛙汇合。此次骑行的四个队员全部见面了,于我,是初次见到他们三个南京哥。 4月27日,大家先去喀什火车站提车: 左起:戊名、青蛙、我、好人锅。 4个人骑着各自的战马,浩浩荡荡去采买物资。不想路上竟被一维族男子盯梢,联系近段喀什刚发生的几起血腥事件和敏感冲突,大家一时都有些紧张。山羊户外店的老板更是让我们直接报警(一路采买几经比较,喀什的几个户外店,山羊户外货全价廉)。几个人一合计,冒然报警无凭无据有些唐突,遂决定我和戊名一小组,先行冲出;好人锅和青蛙断后,负责掩护。于是紧张行动,嘿呀,一路急冲,结果回宾馆的路上两组人马绕岔了道,我和戊名在宾馆附近怎么也等不见好人锅和青蛙,担心老半天。好在有惊无险,都平安回到酒店。于是晚上也不敢出去乱溜达了,乖乖在房间睡觉。 反偷拍:一路跟踪我们的少年: 采买物资途中,青蛙剃度了:(此后青蛙哥的习惯动作就是摸光头!而好人锅则是有空就手机上网直线转播他的新藏线呵) 好人锅和戊名来之前就理成了短短的寸头,加上青蛙这个大光头,三个人互相炫耀着,害的我真想也剃个光头上路!羡慕嫉妒,只能将自己的一头长发剪成短马尾扎起来了事。 回到酒店,我们开始整理驮包和车,看着满地的物件,四人都感头大---竟然如此之多!三个男士照顾我,让我独自去一个房间整理,他们仨绊绊搭搭挤在一处整理。 我的物资来之前基本准备完善,采购极少,如何装备也大多是出发前就各有其位的,所以很快结束战斗。跑过去看他们三个,呵呵,热闹啊,房间简直象个大仓库了!堆的满地东西几乎无从下脚。 于是帮着打个下手,待得快整好了才想起,拍照留念! 戊名:心灵手巧,为人厚道,说话不多但总是为大家做的多。 正在用他换下来的旧外胎帮我做挡泥板,DIY的比买来的实用多了! 好人锅(右):勇敢乐观,有毅力、有智谋。我们此行的路书都是他辛苦整理,备用药品的方子也是他给的,多谢!!这家伙不想整那一大堆东西,不时嘻哈着两边房间视查,看大家都整的差不多了,才不得已地把自己那份也整了。采买的无人区备用20斤大米,大部分都被他塞进驮包了,连保温壶都塞满了! 青蛙:曾经是8年野战军的老兵,很有战斗力,体力好 心态好 dao嘴豆腐心,有时象英勇的战士有时却象个稚气未脱的孩子。大家的20个气罐,被他大包大揽地绑在车后,后来绑完看着那高耸的李行,我们三个无言…… 能干的青蛙在搓绳子,以应付那过于庞大的行李堆(青蛙面前,戊名的驮包已装整齐了,蛙哥的行李却还一大堆在窗根等绳子捆): 我只能自保,负担了自己的所有物资后加负了三个气罐。其它公用物资他们三个男士全包了。无言以谢。 背后那片建筑,是喀什的老城区: 喀什的公交车让我们大开眼界---- 竟然会按一个个详细地点送客到家!(没事闲逛还好,有事公交坐不得,太费时间)。所以我们三个从机场晃到酒店用时颇久,青蛙在酒店等我们等得都睡着了。 D1:4月28日,晴,喀什--英吉沙 ,全程柏油,骑行73km。 2011年4月28日,我们开始骑行的日子。 原计划从叶城G219 零公里处开始骑,后来大家整理完,看着那大大的行李包,一致决定从喀什开始骑。不论是队员之间、还是车、行李都需要磨合。 今天的骑行并不多,从喀什到英吉沙,70km的路(码表实际显示73km)。所以大家慢悠悠吃完早饭,又把昨天打包精减出来的行李到邮局寄走,11点半,才开骑。 喀什的如家酒店门外,四匹战马一溜排开,整装待发: 一路行来,照片繁多,除自己拍的,还有青蛙、好人锅、以及后来邂逅的袁鹏、五位自驾兄长等人所拍,恕不一一注,谢了! 戊名秀一个:好人锅也来秀一下:青蛙那一刻的片片竟然找不到,汗。 上315国道: 向英吉沙进军: 在路上,我们将生命绽放: 中午,新彊戈壁的地表温度有35--37度,很热。来这里前一周刚做过一个小手术(没跟队友们讲怕他们担心),有个把月没碰过车了,骑的有点累。晒的很厉害,发现之前怕太热而备用的网眼手套抗不住晒,手背都被晒得又疼又红了,青蛙把他的备用白线手套让我换上。 骑啊骑,又热又渴又累,突然发现一处小卖店,竟然还有绿色的树几棵,四人狂奔过去,乘凉、补水: 回复 军行天下 的帖子啊??我这里看到的图片,挺小。 第一次发贴,很多不太会操作,谅!我试试改 午饭在一小镇吃,青菜拉条子,份足味美价廉,可惜四人只顾说笑闹腾,忘了拍照。 烤羊肉串:卖相好,味道也不错。不过肉不是我的强项,一串便足矣。后来每人一个的羊肉包子,也贡献给了好人锅。 看到传说中的缸子肉(当时酷热,没食欲,更不知那就是大名鼎鼎的“缸子肉”。后来自驾大北线,与几位兄弟在阿里吃到,才知道。其貌不扬,但甚是美味!): 摆一张吧,骑了大半天了,挺累挺闷的。可怜好人锅,总是在为我们拍照,这一路摄影他最辛苦: 傍晚,英吉沙到了: 我们住了天府宾馆。本想宿县委宾馆,但有山东援藏的一大帮人包住,满了。 晚饭男生们一致提议不吃拉条子了,要吃川菜。呵呵这还没几天呢,就受不了啦。我倒无所谓,食物对我来说,挑剔极少。 这天晚上,听了青蛙的故事。很意外…… 今日亮点:出发前,好人锅因为我不肯听他的话好好吃药,大为光火。可是象锅那样没病也大把的吃药,让我和青蛙大为惊讶!什么“十全大补丸、六味地黄丸、板蓝根、21金维它……” 适当维生素补充还能接受,其它的药,对我这个平时极少用药的人,真是吃不下。为此锅很不高兴,拉着脸半天不搭理我。后来又训我“看你脸色腊黄的,一看就知道气血不足、营养不良!还不好好吃药,哼!”我哭笑不得,这只可恼又可爱的锅。他的口头禅就是:“没事就吃药哎”。戊名是好人锅的忠实听众,跟着大把吃药。青蛙则我行我素,几乎不吃药。 骑行新藏线,需要如此药补???不过,好人锅昨天晚上训我,让我出发前把他列出的药品清单补全,倒是真训对了。有两味药,后来还真救了我的急。 骑行新藏线,药品是应该备齐全点。 D2:4月29日,英吉沙--莎车,晴转大沙尘暴,戊名码表计算里程133公里,总耗时约12小时.骑行第二天,状态很差的一天。 今天的目的地是莎车,计划行程130km(实际码表显示近133km)。大家早早起床,洗漱早饭后准备出发,但戊名找不到宝贝香烟,要开拔了好人锅又死活找不见墨镜。折腾到9点也没找见,我们只得载着大驮包跟着好人锅满大街转想找个卖眼镜的店另买一副,可惜都没开门营业。他备用的那副又在驮包里面层层围困不好拿出。这个天府宾馆真是有问哦。眼看日已高升,今天路程还不少,惦着早出发早歇脚,于是停车从驮包里翻腾出自己的备用墨镜给锅,催他快出发。 四人依次排开,列队而行。我和戊名骑行在前,后来骑着骑着,拐个弯发现后面那俩人不见了!与戊名下车等,久候方至,原来好人锅看到了英吉莎的小 dao铺子,与青蛙挑选刀去了。当然也帮我和戊名各挑了一把。话说这英吉沙县位于新疆 塔里木盆地西部边缘,是著名的“中国小 dao之乡”也是“中国色买提杏之乡”、“中国达瓦孜之乡”。新疆有四大名刀,即英吉沙工艺小 刀、伊犁沙木萨克折dao、焉耆陈正套刀和莎车买买提折dao。 英雄爱宝刀,既然他俩是寻刀而去,回来还不忘我和戊名的份,嘿嘿,等就等了,这种等待可以有哈!等久点也没关系。反正出来是旅行,不是单纯为了傻骑车,这种民族特色的东西,早该好好品味一番,若不是时间限制,团队限制,估计我早跑去刀铺晃荡了…… 美滋滋地收好青蛙给的精美小 dao,这回我不傻往前冲了,省得有好玩的又落下,咱压阵!不紧不慢骑在队伍后面,和青蛙天南海北乱侃着,青蛙同学得了好刀也一路心花怒放的,不时还来点音乐,乐声下仍不忘刀长刀短的。不知不觉骑出老远 闲等两位寻宝刀的英雄时,给自己的坐骑留一张:此时它尚容光焕发,往后长路漫漫不知它会沧桑成何等模样啊 途经小店补水,此时四人尚衣帽光鲜、容光焕发,不久便一个个灰头土脸无一幸免了。 难得的一张全体合影:(看此时那特意选的宽松 速干裤在腿上直打晃荡,哪里想到半个月后竟然浮种到腿塞不进裤子,唉,失算呀!满以为骑新藏线会越骑越瘦身材更苗条,哪承想还有肥肿的象个非洲阿巴桑那一出!哈哈,好笑)民族团结,与维族朋友合张: 继续前行,到中午3点那阵(相当于北京时间1点左右,有2小时的时差)又困又累,越骑越觉得腿软,膝盖越来越痛,看好人锅、戊名早已护膝上腿,顾不得热捂,赶紧也把两副厚厚的护膝带上。路那么漫长无尽头、太阳那么晒、PP磨得好痛怎么骑都难受…… 青蛙本来是个骑行高手,让他这样慢悠悠地晒在大太阳下陪我,陪得他简直崩溃。于是换戊名来跟在我身后收尾,肯定跟的也很难受。虽然他俩都没说,但感觉到那种收队的痛苦,奈何俺那阵子就是蹬不动车,速度怎么也提不上来,还老想打盹瞌睡。 熬啊熬,总算到了克孜勒库尔干乡,吃午饭,借机缓一缓。发现维族人其实很爱干净,小小乡间餐厅卫生也蛮不错。 羊肉揪面片:(饭菜的片片,多出自好人锅和青蛙之手,俺是极少拍滴,只顾吃了嘿嘿) 饭后再往前骑不久,天色渐变,阳光没了,天空灰起来: 天更灰蒙,风大、沙重了,沙尘暴渐露狰狞: 大沙尘暴来了! 风越来越大,沙土满天飞,天空已成灰黄色,能见度不足百米,车辆都开着警示灯或大灯通行。青蛙看时间也不早了,行军速度太慢照此下去天黑前到不了目的地,于是发狠话:“20公里休息一次!不能再象前段那样每小时休息一次了。”言毕青蛙窜出去追好人锅和戊名去了,三个男生狂飙而去很快不见踪影,把我扔在后面也不管了(其实现在想来,是该这么扔一下,否则我还是不长进),之前跟我说的 什么二人小组 不抛弃不放弃也不执行了,任我独自在漫漫黄沙 天昏地暗中苦苦挣扎。从未带着大驮包骑行过的我,感觉那大大的驮包太重了,简直象个大称砣一样拖在身后!行李象背山越载越重,车蹬的几乎耗尽腿上所有力气,狂风刮得我脑子里呼呼轰鸣,四周一片迷茫不见天日。我拼力蹬啊蹬啊……身体很累,脑瓜却不停地东想西想 胡思乱想,思想这东西有时候真是害人。 等熬到到100公里4人汇合休息时,风沙略减,但大家还是不敢摘掉面巾,一张嘴说话嘴里就跑进沙子磕着牙,满鼻子的沙土味。籍着帽子面巾遮掩,不觉间泪湿蒙面围巾。一直低着头不出声,以为籍着帽沿蒙面围巾遮掩没人知道自己哭了,却还是被锅发现了。他坐来旁边,碰碰我的脚,平时一直吊儿浪当、冷嘲热讽的腔调突然变的很和气了:“姑娘,累了吧?围巾都湿了??没关系,慢慢骑,别心急……”心里一热,赶紧掩饰地笑笑,朗声答:“没事!放心吧。风沙太大迷眼了。”再望望四周,依旧漫天狂风大沙、昏天黑地,自己一个人孤零零漂在千里之外,与初识的三个陌生人累死累活行走在这异域边彊,累了痛了难过了都无从说,只能忍忍忍!想着突然悲从中来,不出声可眼泪刷刷流的更厉害,嘴唇快咬破了也止不住。车子加上大驮包 还是抵不住大风,被吹翻在地,也顾不上管,只是低着头流泪。三个男生被吓住了,不敢多说。青蛙过来跟我说话,我小心眼地恼着他,也不搭理。他只好默默地帮我扶起车子放好,坐在一边,不时扭头看过来 车子被大风吹倒了俺也不去管,只顾翘着二郞腿掉豆豆,青蛙去扶起俺可怜的战马:(当时不知坏心肝的锅竟然在偷拍此景,臭小子) 哭了一阵,感觉轻松多啦,大家也准备继续前行,还有40km路要赶,此时天已快黑。起身推起车子翻身骑上就往前冲,这一停一哭,倒把力气哭出来了。可能不适应期也过了,蹬的飞快,一路竟然3*6甚至3*7狂冲,把三个男生远远甩在后面。青蛙气喘喘地赶上来,跟我说话我还是不想出声,又很快超过自行远去,一个人在千里之外的大风沙中想东想西,边骑边哭……现在回想,惭愧又好笑,但当时却怎么也转不过弯来。 于是这剩下的40km,就在我的狂蹬中顺利结束---莎车 到了!晚上21点许,比预计的提前了一个多小时。 事实证明,当时青蛙的决策是完全正确的。否则我们还不知要在黑夜中的沙尘暴里苦累到什么时候才能歇下,更甚者那种天气夜晚行车危险因素多多。 事实还证明,人都是有潜力的,需要适当激发。熬过那100公里,后面的40公里俺竟然载着大驮包骑的飞快ye!呵呵 莎车到了:(坐会吧,骑累了也哭累了) 这天,对每个队员都是一个适应吧,载重、大沙尘暴,一个个象土人似的折腾了一整天。入住好人锅早打听好的 德隆大酒店,条件很是不错,惜无电梯,一楼亦无房,只好把车连驮包一起扛上二楼去---青蛙是主力军。 事后青蛙哥讲:骑车没骑累,那几趟扛车可是真累趴了!呵呵大伙一致提议出去喝一杯,犒劳一下大沙尘暴。 今天骑行约8小时,从出发到入住总耗时12小时。今日亮点:1、大驮包+大戈壁+大沙尘暴,别样味道、别样体验。 2、漫天狂风沙中,边哭边骑,回想真好笑。 自己的摊子还是自己收吧。自那一哭后,开始发飙,结伴同骑的13天每骑必在前,不再落后拖大家。 回复 心灵孤旅 的帖子曾与好人锅同行半个月,后来的流浪日子,便是自己独行乱闯了,见笑 到莎车已是暮色深沉,人困马乏并未夜游,第二天一早又急着赶路,也未能将她的芳容细赏,留下遗憾,给下次再去一个借口吧。 莎车县居住着莎车古国先民的后裔,他们注定与音符有关,与木卡姆结缘。因为有河的存在;也因为有沉默巍峨的喀喇昆仑山,河、山、平原、峡谷这些刚烈的灵魂与柔弱的水交织在一起,就有了木卡姆与阿曼尼沙汗怀抱的那把都塔尔。在莎车有名的十二木卡姆广场,矗立着这位酷爱音乐、拯救木卡姆命运的传奇女子阿曼尼沙汗的雕像,它已经成为一种象征,也是莎车县的地性建筑。莎车在年轮奏响的序曲里,拖拽着叶尔羌汗国的灵动音符,哪怕在莎车缓慢地踱一会步,隐约而又清晰的“十二木卡姆”曲调随时都会传入耳膜。 深夜,窗外依旧有音符飞扬着,使人们有恍若隔世的感觉。 洗去沙尘躺在床上,我早忘了白天的苦痛,又沉浸在对明天旅程的期盼中。一如 诗人纳瓦依所作:“芳容乍睹,就使我一见倾心;做你情人,无疑灾难缠身。多少次我决心对你断绝痴念,可日复一日对你更为痴心(节选自十二木卡姆第二套.小赛勒克)。 ”是呵,对于旅行,我又何尝不是一见倾心,爱到极深;虽然时有苦痛缠身,却,日复一日,对它更加痴心…… D3:4月30日,莎车--叶城,晴,沙尘暴转小有风,今天实际骑行戊名码表计骑行74公里 从莎车到叶城的骑行,相比昨天轻松多了。 四个人睡到自然醒,起来看天,沙尘暴转小,也没什么大逆风,由莎车县至泽普县再至叶城县仅约70公里,全程柏油,海拔较平无大幅上升下降,大家心里都很轻松。磨蹭到上午近10点才吃好早餐,好人锅宣布再睡个回笼觉!我和青蛙睡不着便开始整行李,鉴于我昨天的表现,青蛙不声不响拿走了我缚在驮包外的帐篷和3个气罐,至此,20个备用气罐全在青蛙的车上载着。没过几天翻达坂的时候,青蛙又把我的备用外胎绑在了他的高高的一堆行李上。帐篷和外胎这一绑,就帮我载到了阿里!四个人里,经常和我吵架拌嘴甚至翻脸的是青蛙,但帮我最多的,也是青蛙。 四人不紧不慢 一番磨蹭直至12点半光景才出发。自昨日那一场大风沙,那一哭后,俺气力大发,一路3·7档位甚至3·8档位骑过来,很少变换其它档位,真有‘风飞扬’之势哈,害的戊名他们狂追不及,又不放心我一人跑在前,冲我叫停了好几次!(当然俺也知道长途骑行这种骑法不可取,偶尔为之吧) 先经泽普县,再到叶城: 初时尚有小风沙迷漫 : 后来便晴空万里了: 泽普到了:([]
长篇纪实连载 迷茫的山林(上) ——走进豫西熊耳山 念奴娇.熊耳山 群峰竞秀,若熊耳,山林一片苍莽。 全宝鹰嘴与花山,突兀向天高昂。 春风荡绿,夏雨唱溪,秋来叶红果香。 林海雪原,鲵蛙鸟兽乱闯。 而今吾来探访,不惧山高,不怕峡漫长, 那山那水那沟壑,缘何几多迷茫? 一曰路丢,一曰雾锁,一曰林海凉。 格物铭志,述与后者共享。 前 言 熊耳山,属秦岭东段支脉,是河南省级森林和野生动物类型的自然保护区之一,也是豫西主要山脉之一,居于河洛之间,西起卢氏,东延伊川,南接伏牛,北邻崤山,横跨栾川、嵩县、洛宁、宜阳四县,面积3.4万公顷,海拔1000-2100米。其森林似海、沟壑纵横、奇峰林立、层峦叠嶂、飞瀑流云、珍禽竞奔、万鸟争鸣,是豫西较大的一处集中连片原始林区。 走进熊耳山,对于我而言,也是近几年的事儿。 之所以我开笔来写熊耳山,原因大体如下: 首先,熊耳山的迷茫之美,令我刻骨铭心。山高、林密、峡长、沟深、水清、潭幽、路小、岔多、云绕、雾锁、......行走其间,疑窦丛生,抬头看天天苍苍,低头看地地茫茫,去时混沌沌,回来费思量,东西不好辨,南北无方向,几番迷途心存怯,几多向导也癫狂,哈哈!愈是迷茫,愈是难忘! 其次,熊耳山的原始之美,使我心旷神怡。看倦了高楼林立的闹市,厌烦了人声鼎沸的车海,穿越了纷繁吵杂的战场,跨过了意气风发的年轮,背起行囊,返璞归真,走进原始生动的大自然真好,而熊耳山的茂密森林、静谧峡谷、山水鸟兽、花果溢香、古朴田园、醇厚民风,呵呵!常来常新,乐此不疲! 其三,熊耳山的山水之美,可谓风景如画。全宝山漆林遍布,祖师庵气宇非凡;鹰嘴山风骚界岭,杜鹃花万亩浸染;花果山孙猴老家,仰天池高坐山涧;莲花顶道教圣地,白马涧潭溪玉连;鳔池村无独有偶,胡地村群山四环;......四季景色各不同,咋走都在画中行,嘿嘿!年年岁岁,不来不行! 其四,熊耳山的故事之美,让我浮想联翩。王莽寨、韩王坟、仰天池、神灵寨、红娘子沟、演兵场、跑马岭、饮马池、拴马桩、藏兵洞、......一个名字,一页历史,一个故事,一段传说,或惊心动魄,兵来将往,或凄美委婉,优雅动听,尽管历史不会重演,但是感悟而今永远,啧啧!余音绕梁,回味无穷! 多次出行,串联成册,是因为次次线路不同但又密切相关,是因为回回来去匆匆一木难成林,是因为每每牵肠挂肚很想把全景呈送。 当然,我不是探险家,很难把熊耳山的山水沟坎都探索一遍,我不是摄影家,不会把满目的美景塞进我的镜头,我不是文学家,无法用更美的语言来描述,我不是史学家,难以把某一段壮美的史话呈现,我不是地质学家,不能把那山那水的来龙去脉说个详细,我更不是动植物学家,满山遍野的花草树木还真是知之甚少,......我,就是我,一个乐山好水的背包客,一个不辞辛苦的徒步者,一个似懂非懂的摄影者,一个半荤半素的文学爱好者,仅此而已。 所以,所经,所历,所见,所闻,所摄,所写,所感,所悟,......你不必太认真,我和盘托出,你趁热咽下,味道不错,你接着来,嫌甜嫌淡,你就扔一边好了。 目 录第一回 俩鳔池南辕北辙,众驴儿极限穿越。 4--30楼第二回 坐蹦蹦车翻山越岭,下白马涧暴雨倾盆。 32-73楼第三回 鳔池村群英荟萃,下涧果夜半狂欢。 204-241楼第四回 白马涧中赏心悦目,五里渠下再遭天浴 311--358楼第五回 神灵寨二度探访,玉皇殿小驴欢歌 367--389楼第六回 刘后坡初识莲花顶,胡地村难觅洞子沟 468--524楼第七回 穿林海野趣横生,吉向导疯狂纵情 532--600楼第八回 瑶池畔氧吧野营,五瀑下幽谷倩影 636--681楼第九回花山村小休觅来路,七峪沟水污桃花香 684--721楼——《迷茫的山林(上)》到此结束————《迷茫的山林(下)》即将开始—— 第一回俩鳔池南辕北辙,众驴儿极限穿越 我第一次走进熊耳山,是在某年的6月20日-22日。 盛夏已经来临,火辣辣的太阳把大地变成了一个火炉。 连天户外的“沙漠”发帖,说是去熊耳山腹地的“奇妙水世界---白马涧休闲徒步穿越”,也没有多想,就冲着那个“水”字去了。 我真的没有想到,就此开始,我和熊耳山就结下了一连串婆娑迷离的渊源。 闲言少叙,书归正转。 周五晚7:30准时成行,一看同行的驴儿,一半生来一半熟,6女14男,嗨,够热闹的吧! 上车,出发。4个小时的路程,闲话不少,正话也就领队弥勒佛的“户外无小事”还算中肯。 下车,扎营。营地设在嵩县吴沟村口农家打麦场上,黑灯瞎火的,也没觉着有多好,只看着场上麦垛嶙嶙,听见场下河水哗哗,场面平平,扎十多顶帐篷不成问。 山乡的夜空瓦蓝瓦蓝,凌乱的星辰闪闪烁烁,农家的狗儿汪汪狂吠,水中的青蛙歌声嘹嘹,…… 唉,这样的夜晚你说美不美?扎好帐篷,大家睡意全无,有人又摆起了地摊,说说笑笑喝起酒来,究竟是闹到两点还是三点,我不清楚,反正我睡得迷迷糊糊,还听到他们在说话。 我不大喜欢喝酒,也就没去凑这个热闹。此时此刻,我想静静地感受一下这山村的凉风,回忆一丝童时睡麦场的感觉,于是,坐在河边的石头上,点上一支烟,悠哉游哉,心猿意马了好一会儿,才进帐睡觉。因为凉爽,睡得很香很甜! 一觉醒来,天已经大亮,早起的驴儿开始来回走动,洗脸唰牙,梳头化妆。我起来得不算太晚,懒洋洋爬出帐篷,从容容收帐入包,拿起灶具,走向不远的河边,用村民们从山上引下来的甘泉做饭,可能是山水清纯,做出来的饭好吃得很哩! 面对我们这群身着奇装异服的不速之客,山村的大人小孩都来看热闹,稀奇呀!有人说我们是来拍电影的,有人说我们是来搞勘探的,当得知我们的来意之后,他们得出的结论是:吃饱了,噌的慌!! 山乡的晨曦很美很美,美的让人心醉!在山峦重叠间,一轮红日冉冉升起,给偏僻寂静的小村披上了万道霞光;在绿荫环抱之中,小山村玲珑幽雅,悠然自得,正是野居深山自不知,猛然回眸若桃源;一条蜿蜒在峡谷中的公路切村而过,垂直于公路的吴沟向天池山最高峰王莽寨方向伸去,三面环山山色翠,两河交汇水草鲜;朴实勤劳的山民,男的地里锄玉米,女的下河洗衣衫,几个顽皮的小家伙,跑前跑后玩的好开心! 基于此,有人戏称我们当晚宿营在“四星级宾馆”,你说象吗?嗨,嗨,我看也有点味道,最起码不热不冷,不烦不躁,空气新鲜,环境幽雅,比寒舍睡着美多了! 大约8:30,我们开始出发了,顺着吴沟,向着王莽岭的方向。 按照既定方针,我们本次驴途是一次无向导穿越活动,我们无法得知,领队弥勒佛研究了多少次这条线路,只知道弥勒佛把线路要点记得很清楚:从吴家沟村上山,登上王莽寨,下到鳔池村,翻过一个山梁,下到白马涧,顺水而下到沟口公路乘车。为了保险起见,弥勒佛还带上了GPS定位系统,防备不测之遇。 准备的不算不周全,设计的不算不合理,唉,出发时谁也没有想到,两大漏洞在悄悄的等待着我们呀! 漏洞之一:我们要去的是洛宁的鳔池村,没有人知道嵩县也有一个鳔池村,而且南辕北辙,相距甚远。一个内涵生僻字的村名,就这么金贵呀!我晕,同去的驴儿都晕呀! 漏洞之二:GPS定位系统的偏差,是我们时料不及的。你向一个方向走的时候,它提示正确或者不给提示,当你走过100米或者更远的时候,它开始不断提示错误,请原路返回。户外活动,穿山越岭司空见惯,这样的折腾来折腾去,你说可怕不? 当然,这两大漏洞,是我们事后才体会到的,实践出真知吗!不过,当时,谁也不知道呀! 顺着吴沟行进大约2公里左右,开始右拐爬向一个山梁,尽管不算太高,但是适值五黄六月,太阳好大,闷热闷热,大家无不汗流浃背,湿透衣衫。唉,驴儿吗,要的就是这个效果,汗,这东西出足出够,没有它就不出了! 在吴沟村里,弥勒佛向老乡咨询过,鳔池很远的,翻过两个山梁就进入一个道路很宽的峡谷,穿过鞍沟村,继续向前再问人吧! 嵩县的山民,自然指向的是嵩县的鳔池村了,我们都在雾里呀! 翻过一架山梁,再翻过一架山梁,进入一条峡谷,峡谷里有一个不大的山村——鞍沟,村民住的零零乱乱的,三户五户一疙瘩,依山傍水,景色秀美。 又是一个山梁,山梁之下有一块很大的花生地,和山民说的相投,也就继续行进了。回头一看,胖乎乎跟在我后面,累得够呛,初次驴行遇住个大热天,也够难为他了。掏出相机,拍下几张照片,就又匆匆前行了。 走下山梁,就顺利的进入了另一条大峡谷,绿波荡漾,风光旖旎,不过,有点累,也就没有心思去欣赏了。 顺着峡谷不停的行进,因为路道平坦,也不是很疲惫,都有点飘飘然了,唧唧喳喳,驴情骚动起来。 不远,就到了另一个叫瓦房沟的村子,时间已经是中午11:30,驴儿们也都累了,没经领队弥勒佛同意,我和几个前行的驴儿就此安营扎寨,午营就在这里了。 天气异常怄热,热的人身上在流油! 在一个山民的家里,走疲了的驴儿开始驻足休整,水龙头里有山民引下的泉水,喝上几口,甜丝丝的,好美! 因为这家院里没有树,火烧火燎的,有点难受,我继续下走,穿进了另一个农家,正屋上锁,屋檐宽宽,核桃树下树荫凉爽,桃树叶间青果诱人。 找一根木棍捣碎蒜泥,下一锅挂面配上青菜,一大碗蒜面条下肚,哈!哈!饱了!从体内到心情,一股温馨的暖流在不断的升腾!屋檐下,几个驴儿又耍起了地摊,锅碗瓢勺,林林总总,煎煎炒炒,乒乒乓乓,埋火造起饭来。 来时带了三个甜瓜,好沉!餐后再啃点水果,好甜! 掏出相机,留下这美妙的瞬间;晃悠浏览,环顾这秀丽的山乡;一不小心,鸡儿叨走了番茄;隔墙有耳,村妇听走了我们的俚语! 又要启程了,弥勒佛找来了准备上山采药的山民作向导。当然,此时已经知道了两个县有两个鳔池村,我们犯了一个方向性错误。 上街的猎户已经走劈了,到瓦房沟村时已经一瘸一拐走不动了。前面的路有多远谁也说不清楚,于是,他选择了退出,沿瓦房沟村继续前行不远就可以见到公路,打电话叫老美来接住,驴途就算结束了。 为了照顾猎户,上街的山人也放弃了随队前行,陪着一起离队。为了减负,巩义的适宜也叫山人和猎户把帐篷带走,大喊大叫着偃师的驴不够意思,没有人主动让她混帐。 事后看来,猎户的选择是明智的。户外活动,必须学会放弃,放弃,也需要勇气,不会放弃,很容易走进可怕的深渊! 如果猎户碍于面子,继续随队前进,我真的不知道,在今后的一天半时间,他将怎样度过,后果将会是什么! 勿庸置疑,由于误入歧途,接下来的行程将充满艰辛和变数,莫测的风险随时都会发生。这一点,我当时就隐隐约约的能够感觉到,因为状态良好,挑战一下也无妨。而随后的际遇,也恰恰证明了我的这个心灵独白。 上山采药的山民是一个40岁上下的中年男子和一个20岁左右的小伙子,他说,可以把我们带进天池山景区,穿过景区,涉过一条漫长的峡谷,就可以跨进洛宁县境内,先到胡地村,再到鳔池村就只有十多里地了。 嗨!嗨!你说复杂不复杂!既来之,则安之,哪怕前面是刀山火海,酷刑油锅,咱也得去闯闯呀! V型反转,继续上山。 毕竟有向导带路,尽管天气更加闷热,尽管一路不断拔高,尽管小道模糊不清,尽管树丛纷纷扰扰,大家似乎吃了定心丸,驴起来还是蛮精神的,速度也在不断的加快。 登上一个山梁,向导指着远山之颠的高耸的发射塔说,我把你们带到塔下,塔下有个垭口,翻过垭口,顺路下行5、6里地,就下到天池山景区的公路了,沿公路前进可以到达景区服务站,到那里再问路吧! 哎呀,够劲!且不说发射塔所在的那个山恁高(后来听弥勒佛说,此山海拔1400多米呀),从我们站的位置到那个山,还有两个一高一矮的两个山头,隔山指山,大家都有点怵咧! “这塔似曾相识,好像我去过!”胡导说。 “我也觉得!”我说。 “想起来了,像是木札岭的发射塔。你忘了,从老幔场看木札岭上的塔,就是这个感觉呀!”胡导说。 “不错呀,那次我们走劈的一塌糊涂,看来,这次也好不到哪里去!”我说。 向导走的真快,不,几乎是一路小跑。我们鱼贯跟随,下山,上山,穿沟,越岭,路道模糊的几乎看不清,树枝扑甩的脸生疼,就这样走走歇歇,歇歇走走,在那个一丝风儿也不遇的闷热环境下,我们来到了发射塔所在的山下。 向导曾经说过,这里上山的路很陡,也很难走,现在我们大家才领教了啥叫牛瞪眼坡。 本来已经是累得七零八落的驴儿,再遇到这大约65度的山坡,唉,你说受罪不受罪?没法呀,唯一的选择就是打起精神——上! 速度是彻底降下来,三步一歇,五步一停;汗水是彻底出足出够了,毛巾湿透拧拧,再湿透再拧;说话的明显减少了,得省的力气,不能作无为损耗;上太白时没有吃完的巧克力、糖果之类,我也一起报销了。 垭口到了,很宽很阔的U型垭口。向导要与我们分手了,上山采药去了,我们一行也该大歇一会儿了。 哈!哈!再看看我们这群驴儿的尊容,要多狼狈有多狼狈,男士都是赤脊巴梁,女士我就不敢形容了,再看看大家的脸,用胡导的话说,都跟用破鞋底子抽过的差不多! 吃点东西,歇歇脚,气儿顺多了。赶紧打开相机,每人来张特写,谁说他不狼狈,我可有照片为证哩!丑就丑点吧,咱丑的气派呀! 驴途还在延伸,片刻的惬意很快就过去了。背起行囊下山,感觉好多了。毕竟一路下坡,很快就走上了天池山景区的公路。 曲曲弯弯的水泥路在向着深山延伸,走在景区的驴儿前后相距大约有一里多地,原因很简单,有人走劈了,有人脚泡了,连著名的巩义恶驴适宜都不由得发出感叹:你们这伙驴,真玩命呀! 天池山国家森林公园,位于河南省嵩县西北部王莽寨林场境内,景区观赏面积4万亩,森林覆盖率98.57%,其中栖息和生长着野生动物184种,植物1800余种,主峰王莽寨1859.6米,年均降水量812毫米,年最高气温28℃,景区山静如眠,绿荫如盖,水清如滤,石洁如洗,是中原地区风格独特的生态旅游胜地。 其实,一路走来,我们也没有看到什么好的精致,可能是景在深处我未知吧! 不过,路过的刘秀藏兵洞,还是让我心中掠过一分惊喜。与景区主峰王莽寨联系起来,可以想象,当年王莽和刘秀这对冤家,在此肯定有一番惊心动魄的交手,至于故事的来龙去脉,不得而知。 当过驴儿的都知道,大马路是最难走的,地面太平,杠脚呀!景区的路真好,驴儿享受不起;景区的道真长,驴儿走得好辛苦! 终于,我们走到了一个游客济济的地方,河水哗哗而下,河畔垂柳丝丝,停车场开阔宽畅,歇息地廊倩座多,众游客频频回首,服务社啥货都有。 放下和血肉混为一体的大包,徜徉一番人间天堂的天池山胜景,痛快! 向景区的人一打听,大家倒吸了一口凉气。从服务站继续前行二里,下水泥路,进入一个名叫洞子沟的十里大峡谷,出沟即到达胡地村,从胡地村到鳔池村大约又是十几里山路。而且,山里人的“里”似乎有点大,往往比度量衡的“里”相去甚远。 此时,驴群里驴情开始有些骚动,走劈的看来不是少数,都希望就此安营扎寨。当然,说心里话,我也很希望就此驻足,因为,从上午8:30到现在下午6:30,驴蹄就没有闲过,基本上也属于走劈一族了。 于是乎,纷纷去向领队弥勒佛提建议。弥勒佛的回答很简单:不行!原因吗,距鳔池村太远,明天白马涧走不完。 我坚信,此时的弥勒佛比别人也好不到那里,但是,他是领队,是驴队的灵魂呀!他如果同意停下,谁也不会说啥,只不过,明天再下白马涧的可能性等于零。 这就是领队的素质!这就是驴队的精神!“放弃”不会轻言,“前进”的脚步不能停下!真的,我越来越喜欢弥勒佛领队了! 再留恋这里也不行,因为这是驴队,不是游团。领队命令一下,是不允许异向思维的,最好的选择是服从! 天色不早,赶路要紧。 毕竟都是一群久经沙场的老驴,无论是男是女,是老是少,没有一个人下软蛋,开拔的号令一下,你看谁比谁走的欢。 公路很快到头,洞子沟就在眼前。 前进!前进!在峡谷中,沿着水边! 溪水哗哗低吟,驴儿沙沙蹄疾,除此之外,什么声音也没有了,寂静的山涧有点恐怖,走劈的驴儿有点心惊。 起初,还可以见到明显的路眼,越往里走,小道就模糊不清了。 我是走在中间的,前后都是谁也记不清了。前面开路的,大概是胡导吧,这驴有点恨路;后面收队的肯定不是洲洲(看来,组织部门肯定受贿了!)可能是胖乎乎吧! 夜幕悄悄降临了,驴儿疲疲的串行着。 弥勒佛提醒大家,拿出头灯,前后跟紧,小心脚下,注意安全! 我真的有点崩溃了,两条腿好似灌了铅,每走一步都是说不出的难受;我真的有点瞌睡了,两眼涩涩的,好想倒在密布的落叶上迷糊一会儿;我真的有点饿肚了,中午的一大碗面条不顶事的,饥的心慌;我真的有点干渴难耐了,从早到晚喝了十斤水,全部变汗出尽了;我真的有点不想走了,只要有一个人提出就地躺下不走,我会毫不犹豫的跟随,管它是草叶还是碎石,胡乱地睡上一觉再说;…… “近期不出来了,本来是出来休闲哩,这简直是在毁身体呀!”不知是谁如是说。 不知不觉,身边不见了水流;稀里糊涂,驴道在不断拔高;你言我语,抱怨之声四起;恍恍惚惚,树丛崎岖难行。 “走错路了!GPS定位系统提示,原路返回!”弥勒佛说。 “不敢再相信GPS了!百米之内有误差,走时不提示,走过了才提示错误。还是下去沿河水走吧”洲洲说。 “唉,房露偏遇连阴雨呀!”这是崩溃背洲洲游记里的一句话,贴切呀! 啥办法?再嘟囔也不中呀!不管爬上了多高的山崖,还得乖乖地都给下来吧! 倒霉呀!我那几十块钱买的包罩,也不知道啥时候,让那飞舞的树枝给挂走了,因为走得靠前,原路返回的时候,我落到了最后,当我发现时,再找已经晚了,心疼呀! 下!下!下!终于见到水了,继续顺河走! 有人提议,真的走不动了,就地宿营吧!——真是心声呀! 可洲洲说:“水不干净呀,有毒的,咋宿营呀!”刚进峡谷的时候,水真的发黄,都看见了。 “让我下去看看!”正好,我就在河边,一扭身就下去了,在一滩水旁,用头灯照着,观察水里的情况。 “扑噜!扑噜!”究竟是青蛙,还是鱼儿,受惊后游走了,我也没有弄清楚,反正有活东西存在哩! “没事,水会吃!”我说。 “就住这里了!可斜坡树丛,咋扎帐呢?”不知是谁说。 也是,连驴儿都站的东扭西歪、高低参差的,扎帐肯定不成! 我用头灯下意识的向河对岸一照,似乎一片地够平。我说:“让我上去看看!” 哈!哈!头灯照住的平地后面是一条小路,小路那面是更大一块平地,扎十几顶帐篷绰绰有余哩! “都过来吧!营地大大地有!”我兴奋的招呼大家。 卸下沉重的大包,伸开眷恋的彩条布,坐在上面喘了好长时间气,吸了两支烟,还是有点不想动。无奈,肚里太饥,开包取出一个大甜瓜,咔咔嚓嚓,一坐窝连皮带蒂吃了个精光,好极! 别人都开始撑帐、做饭了,我还是懒洋洋的不想动弹。临帐的弥勒佛更痛快,饭也不吃,就钻帐睡觉了。 唉!还得做饭呀——饥!简单点吧,开水+核桃奶粉+盐+醋+番茄+两个烧饼,因为出汗太多,光吃甜的可不中呀!嘿!嘿!真的不好吃睐!——硬咽!今生今世这顿饭吃的,空前绝后! 撑帐,睡觉。迷迷糊糊,不知是谁的歌声真好听! 经洲洲提议,大家一致通过,我们把这块营地命名为 “王老大营地”!次日,弥勒佛说,此营地位居洞子沟中央,前后想再找这么大一块营地都难呀!真是踏破铁鞋无觅处,得来全不费功夫,俺王老大也真牛了一把咧! 第二回 坐蹦蹦车翻山越岭,下白马涧暴雨倾盆 这一夜睡得好香! 都6:30了,躺在帐篷里还是不想出来。拉开帐篷一看,不少驴儿都起来了,唉,还是起来吧,弥勒佛说了,8:30准时出发! 洗脸,收帐,做饭。 昨晚睡下之后,飘柔还在咣咣当当的切红萝卜,早餐时请星空炸了两个烧饼,就上红萝卜,吃的还算有味。 临帐的胖乎乎说,与他同帐的弥勒佛早上五点多就起床了,饭也没有吃,就一个人到前面探路去了。唉,当个领队辛苦呀! 小鱼儿和另一个女驴脚上打了泡,剪破,挤净,用创可贴沾了。唉,可以想象,再驴起来,有多难受!([]
