神马理伦午夜...级中文
许巧智云南德钦的梅里雪山和雨崩相信许多喜爱旅游的朋友都耳熟能详。而我，算上这次的雨崩6天之行因该是今年第3次带驴友来到梅里雪山，过去的2010年214国道迎来的是一场人工的灾难，从去年4月后开始破土动工修建二级公路，但至今未果，直到这次我们雨崩之行结束返回香格里拉道路状况还是一片狼藉……在痛苦的颠簸后，最让人期盼的就是让这条令人神往滇藏路能够早日迎来崭新的面目。在全封闭施工的这些日子里，还是有许多不畏艰险游人或组织者绞尽脑汁设法来到这里，梅里雪山的神秘诱惑确实是让人无法抵挡，绕路、换车、打时间差、寻觅小路、连夜狂赶……一系列能够想到的办法都在“只要能到梅里”的欲望驱使下产生。到现在如果你要问“梅里雪山、雨崩能去吗？”回答一定是：“可以去！”“幸苦吗？”“确实很幸苦”……现在总算好了，路是通了，只是还有些难走，反正滇藏线总是在缝缝补补又一年中度过的……先不说这些了，既然能去，就算是我这样到过这里许多次的人也同样向往，并且依旧如此激动！带队这次的雨崩之行也是非常另人满意的，原因是特殊的天气让我们全团人都感受了不一样的雨崩！清晨的日照金山分外令人震惊！雨崩神瀑浮云中夹杂的大雪更是为我们此次朝圣之旅增添了洁白和纯净。梅里雪山是藏民心中的神山，当看到他时敬畏油然而生，卡瓦格博早在800年前就被藏民奉为神山，而且是藏区八大神山中唯一的男性神山，每年秋冬季节，尤其是这个时候，许多来自西藏、四川、青海等滴的藏民到此朝山转经，其中雨崩神瀑是比去之地，因为转经的人们都相信，能够被“雨崩神瀑淋湿，就能求得福气！接下来再慢慢介绍，全篇大概会有400多幅全都是梅里雪山和雨崩的图片，相信你一定能够看个大致的过瘾。其中整个行程中的香格里拉、虎跳峡等其他部分的介绍我都省略了，因为那些不是本帖的重点，而且现在整个丽江的自助游线路都是大同小异！照片也是漫天飞舞，参差不齐。我就不做太多的描述了，慢慢看，看我们一趟雨崩之行到底能够感受到些什么，值不值得！就请跟我的镜头扫过，一有时间我会慢慢更新的，不过按照惯例我还是将和往常发新贴一样先做个记录：行程时间：6日 里程：丽江-香格里拉180公里 香格里拉-飞来寺 200公里足有 飞来寺-西当温泉50公里左右 西当温泉-南宗垭口 12公里（徒步）南宗垭口-上雨崩7公里（徒步） 雨崩-冰湖 12公里（徒步）雨崩-神瀑7公里 （徒步）人数：10人 用车：福特 方式：丽江云行户外俱乐部 活动 徒步里程：80公里左右（3天完成） 气温跨度：-3°——15° 相机：50D 18-270具体攻略可见 www.aaa5.com 提示：备一个小背包，在徙步时，小包内只要装上一套换洗内衣、裤，可以背相机、饮料、食物即可。进雨崩切记不用带太多的东西，轻松上阵。厚一点的袜子二到三双，最好是户外袜，通气性强，穿久了也不会有异味。雨崩里面的条件是非常有限的，但手机和相机充电是完全没有问的，信号是时有时无，进山之前最好是先和家里打好电话以免担心，驴友有必要准备一些常备药。其他的就无所谓了，外话：在梅里雪山、雨崩等藏区很神圣的地方最好是不要乱说话，跨经幡，要尊重当地风俗习惯，我见过很多这类不注意的人和事情，乱说话可能会给自己带来不好的运气……云南最美的村寨-雨崩还是由于修路的原因我们不得不第一天就直接从丽江到飞来寺住下，当天晚上没有风，从来没有见过这么多星星的夜晚，美极了，一道道的银河好像就在头顶不远处，梅里雪山只在我们对面留下了一道轮廓，由于光线太暗，根本没办法对焦，花了半个多小时就曝了下图这么仅有的一张12点钟的梅里雪山。第二天清晨，在住所窗口架上三脚架拍的梅里雪山全景，只是广角不够28的广角确实很尴尬。这个是日照金山开始的前兆，天气真是太好了，不过这段时间能够看到日照金山的几率是非常高的！我边拍边叫醒同行的团友，这样的风景是绝对不允许错过的。梅里雪山是藏民心中的神山，十三峰一字排开，让人领会到自然的伟大，敬畏油然而生。日照金山的那一刻，白马山头观景处一片寂静，放佛所有的人都深怕打扰了神山焕发光彩。神女峰是我看到过这么多雪山中最秀美的一座山峰，每次到梅里总是先把镜头对准她，与卡瓦格博截然不同的是她的气质一眼就能看出似女人的高贵，旁边的五冠峰依偎在右侧传说是卡瓦格博与神女峰的儿子。卡瓦格博6740米，云南第一高峰，威仪俊朗锐利如剑锋直指天空，尊严从不轻易让人朝觐。雨崩神瀑其实就是从五冠峰高耸的悬崖顶坠下，因水源为神山的雪水，所以特别神圣.日出那一刻，满目皆是金山。快马下到飞来寺新修的观景台，这里确实是最佳的观景位置，只是收费有点昂贵，60元的费用真是让人望而生畏……好在我来过多次混了个脸熟，领队证也没有出示，直接进去狂怕。日照金山是很短暂的，夏天出来的时间会早一些大概7点15左右，而冬天金山是8点后才慢慢出来，但冬天和春天的天空会更加清澈。看到过很多拍金山的照片颜色过于鲜艳，看起来还真如金子般绚丽，其实真正当时的颜色是很不好把握的，相机不同拍出来的效果和颜色是完全不一样的，这个把握相信谁都做不好，当时看到的场景颜色和照片差别太大。远瞰这片村寨好像就在卡瓦格博主峰脚下，其实这里离主峰还有很远，真正主峰脚下的村寨是明永村。不能只顾关注雪山了，其实佛塔和雪山的配合才显得分出彩。在佛塔前拍梅里雪山会更具有浓厚的宗教色彩。回复 mxhsz889 的帖子呵呵，谢谢，正在发，会陆续更新的！瓦格博在眼前显得特别高大，每个季节来看到他都不一样，非常神奇！因为当天就要进雨崩村，天已经很亮，大概已经9点多了，我还在继续不断的拍会很晚才能进到雨崩村里，飞来寺下去到西当温泉还有50公里的山路要开车进去，到西当温泉后就只能徒步进山了。 集结了所有团友准备出发!回复 歪歪_79 的帖子嗯，一定加油！不过平时工作忙，我一有空就会来发帖的！谢谢版主支持！！从飞来寺下去会有两条线路，一条是西当也就是去雨崩的必经之地，另外一条就是去明永冰川，明永冰川大概需要徒步2个多小时，冰川像一条凝固的河流从卡瓦格博主峰的山谷汹涌而下，冰面下就是雪水流水声震耳欲聋，明永冰川也是不非常不错的景点，只是我们这次的重点在雨崩，所以就不对这里做太多的图片介绍了。雪山周边的密林深处，经常会看到朝圣的藏民，他们世世代代与神山交往，虔诚地视神山如祖辈，所以卡瓦格博也叫做阿尼（爷爷的意思）卡瓦格博。到梅里雪山就怕广角不够用，28的广角总是差了一大截，没办法，换个方法把整个雪山群拿下.先谢谢以上给位朋友帮顶！！！！{5_135}在不同的平面看雪山会有截然不同的效果，这个地方是在前往西当村的路上的澜沧江大峡谷边拍到的。之后我还会贴上一些不同的角度给大家参考，因为很少有人去拍这样的角度，所以建议大家留意一下，不然大家的照片都一样也就没意思了。回复 摩托摩托 的帖子嗯，雨崩的就在后面，稍等。卡瓦格博和明永冰川。从飞来寺开车往下大概15分钟左右会到达一个挂满经幡的神台，这里看到的神女峰和在飞来寺观景台上完全就是两个模样。听过很多人说梅里十三峰他们怎么数都没有十三座？其实你换到这个角度就会明白为什么数不出有十三座了，因为有些山头是需要到特定的角度才能看到的。澜沧江梅里大峡谷，过了这个峡谷才能到达西当村，这里也只有唯一一座能够过峡谷的大桥，桥前面就是雨崩景区的门票口，所以到雨崩想逃票有点不大可能……呵呵。这个角度的卡瓦格博我相信很多人都没有看到过，这个是我们从西当温泉出发后爬到山的另一个侧面拍到的，而这个位置可以同时看到白马雪山群和梅里雪山群，但由于密林遮挡这里其实根本不是理想的拍摄位置，而且到这里很容易迷路，坡也非常难爬，还有比较危险，所以不推荐到这里来，我自己去年走过这边，但是今年还差点迷了路，好不容易在天黑之前找到了大路，不然真的头大了……如果你对自己有信心，体力超强的话可以考虑从南宗垭口再往南上坡20公里的样子估计能找到这里，不过，呵呵还是不推荐去，因为如果没有向导，在这里迷路到时候哭都没用了…… 从迷途中出来找到了一条大路，这条大路虽然可以到南宗垭口但还是走个没完没了的，但路上的景色确实让我感受不一般！([

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?

叶耀祯首先我想说，我去越南的时间是2011年的春节，不是夏天去的，所以很多东西会不一样。而且跟很多朋友的文章不同，我们的越南之行是百分之百的穷游，所以住的很低准，每人每天按6美元的准住的。全程几乎没去什么饭馆吃饭，基本吃的都是街边摊。而且是我一个女孩子带着老妈出游，我妈从第一天开始就病了，到最后发展成了严重的肺炎，所以，带着一个更年期生病妇女，承受的无休无止的唠叨你懂的....所以与很多人相比，我的观点并不具有可信性。您就看着当笑话一笑而过就可以了。许多东西，每个人的感觉是不一样的。虽然我这篇文章写得很苦逼，但是我心里还是爱着越南的。机票：我刚开始没有确定自己的行程，所以先在去哪网上订了广州到河内的机票，全部加起来是860，回来的机票是在越南通过旅行社订的，太坑爹了竟然花了1600！！！现在在去哪上面找往返机票，加上税也就1200，所以还是早点确定行程比较好，因为是往返，个人觉得河内往返不值得，不如订胡志明往返，因为河内根本不值得去！汇率：去的时候人民币换越南盾大概是13150.美元换越南盾是121000，很多地方有得换，但是千万别在机场换，低死了...而且一定要万万注意汇率损失的问,别换太多越盾了,我们就是换了太多,换回来的时候汇率很不值得,结果损失很多.电话据说如果是漫游的话,发短信是2块钱一条,打电话9块钱一分钟,还是买个当地卡值得,我买的是vietell的卡，65.000盾,差不多人民币22块钱,还是很便宜的,而且这个卡买了还可以打十几分钟的国际长途,本地打电话发短信也都可以.而且过去无聊,满街都是中国人,要了他们电话也可以互相联系认识朋友。交通：越南的摩托车多得吓死人了，但是其实他们技术都很好不会撞到你的，所以马路随便过也没什么问（个人经验）。从北到南大家一般都是坐open bus，越南有很多家做旅游的公司，很多攻略推崇 sinh tourist， TM brother's cafe，hanh cafe，等等...我觉得个个都不是什么好东西,全都很坑爹,所以随便坐一个就可以了,但是要找价钱最低的.sinh tourist跟其他相比的优点就是发车了就不会再停下四处兜客，而且还会发一瓶水一张湿纸巾给你，不过在我看来全是小恩小惠...sinh的网址如下，可以先在线订好全部行程https//www.thesinhtourist.vn/越南打的还可以，但是千万坐正规的那种，而且司机不一定懂英语哦语言：因为去的都是旅游城市，连街边摆地摊的人也懂说英语，但是个人认为还是要学点越南语的，问价钱要会，数字要会，机场什么的最好都学一点，虽然听起来超搞笑超像粗口的。不过，学会了也不是很好，因为你可以听懂老板跟当地人要的价钱比跟你要的低几倍。心里会超级不爽建议1.多人同行,一个人去虽然很小资,但是在住房子上面很不抵,2人间12美元,1人间也要10美元了,建议四人同行,因为有的旅馆的床大得要死,4个人睡双人间也没问,不过这就要看老板是算人头价还是房间价了.2.据说胡志明市很多飞车党抢包,路上遇到的已经听说了至少有2个人被抢过手机或者单反,在越南拿单反的几乎百分百是中国人,所以千万要注意安全3.千万别新年去，年前年后几天都别去，越南人也过春节，满街店铺全体关门了，旅游公司的车也少，而且所有东西的价格都上浮总之各种 杯具。4.越南人虽然还算是比较热情友好的，但是做事非常非常没有效率没有信用，所以别相信他们，尤其是会赚到你的钱的人，全都爱骗人！5.越南司机开车你最好别坐第一排看着他开，否则你肯定吐血，美奈到西贡就215公里，他开了6小时，中途还停下来吃饭，路上一个车也没有他也开40km/h，最快也不超过60.而且超爱接电话鸣喇叭，电话铃又恶心喇叭声超大，其实那些夜车，根本用不了8小时时间的，给中国人开4小时不到就可以到，可是他们就是没效率，做事不负责任慢吞吞。day1：广州-河内到了河内机场后，出来就有机场巴士可以坐，一人，当你看到车上的鬼佬鬼妹纷纷下车的时候你也下车好了，下车就是在河内老城区，还剑湖周围。LP上面会有推荐的旅馆，我们当时没有订，路上一路走一路问，最后住在discovery hotel，17美元双人间，老板英语在越南人里面算是非常非常非常好的，沟通不成问的，但是人品不怎么好，骗我们说快过年了金店全都关门了，结果我们在他那里换美元，才给我们120000的汇率，让我们汇率损失了很多。谈钱伤感情啊！其他方面他就做得还是挺好的。在河内晃了一圈，唯一印象深刻的就是一家叫xoi yen的糯米饭，真的超好吃的说！地址在ma may 和hang bac两条路的交界地方，很好认的！ 其他的，我觉得河内都很无聊，而且物价巨高，吃个快餐也要十几，跟深圳都差不多贵了，吃个粽子竟然要10块！传说中的还剑湖小得要死，也没什么好看，大教堂还是不错，但是还是不值得看，就一个巨大的牌坊，无聊得很。 而且越南做生意的人全国都很不地道，狂宰外国人，东西那么贵，才不要买！discovery hotel地址：Luong Ngoc Quyen St., Hoan Kiem Dist. 河内满街都是假的sinh cafe，discovery就在真的新咖啡所在的那条街上的一间叫cafe de paris周围不远的地方，那片区域初到的时候觉得像迷宫一样，一走就迷路。其实走一天以上你就明白就屁大点地方，街也就那几条，卖的东西也都差不多。刚开始你会觉得米粉还算是可以吃的东西，虽然做法很怪异，从一大团粉里面抓一把泡在汤里就给你了，另外给你一大筐草放在你面前，能认得出的有薄荷叶和生菜还有豆芽，其他都认不出，而且味道很冲，有一种我真的无论如何也习惯不了，估计你们也不怎么可能习惯。如下图day2：这个就是xoi yen店里的糯米饭，大概是人民币13块钱一碗，好吃得要死。 升龙剧院的水上木偶戏。不看后悔，看了也就那回事。这个我真不知道是什么，街边卖的东西还剑湖周围看到的，法棍都用筐装。这个跟肠粉差不多，还挺好吃的，就是特别贵，30.000一份这就是那个卖天价肠粉宰我们的阿姨.继续逛河内一整天，去了教堂等地方。其实越南人没有想象中的穷，相反，还很有钱，街上虽然摩托车很多，但是奔驰宝马也不在少数，而且河内那种坑爹的物价，如果收入真的那么低的话绝对活不起。晚上坑爹的sinh tourist没有sleeping bus只有 sitting bus，所以我们很悲惨地坐了一晚硬座去顺化，各种辛苦，而且司机超爱午夜时分停车吵醒所有人吃夜宵，超爱鸣喇叭，超爱随便乱停车，根本没得睡。day3：到达顺化，其实顺化很小，只游览一个上午就够了，而且也确实没什么好看的，就一个很无聊的顺化皇城，戏称北京故宫的厕所。但是顺化有supermarket啊！！！进去一看，两根法棍都超过半米长，加在一起才5500vnd！！！也就是说不到人民币一块钱一根！！！因为是新年，简直就是菊花残满腚伤....越南人新年好像是认为黄色的花比较吉利,所以顺化满街都是菊花,皇城周围更是 堪称菊花的海洋!!!逛完顺化皇城,我们想在顺化多逛逛,所以就成就了我们越南之行的唯一一次超级深度游.半迷路的状态下走了4小时才回到新咖啡的据点. 顺化感觉很像中国的三线城市,很有生活的味道,但是因为过年,全城的店都关了,有点小扫兴. 同时看到了更多生活中的越南人,他们真的很善良.虽然他们大多不会说英语,而我的越南语仅限于"拜托了"和"谢谢你"的程度,他们都会很仔细地给我们指路(虽然只能看懂个方向,一句也听不懂)中午 回到新咖啡等车下午去会安,在周围发现一家无比便宜的果汁店,虽然已经是对我们外国人涨价了,变成了10.000一杯,也就是人民币3块3.除了酸奶和咖啡以及一些水果名字之外什么也看不懂.....([]
美国ⅩⅩⅩ
聂睿海出发前写下的话：去西藏，而且还是去阿里，世界屋脊的屋脊，不是去郊区郊游，要面对的困难以及要准备的东西真的很多，也不知道是不是真的是好事多磨，正文之前就先写写我出发前遇到的主要困难、解决办法及最后的结局遇到的困难：1.今年是毕业年，和每一个毕业生一样，要面临找工作和答辩两大问，但是工作何时能定，答辩及时能完，一切都不是我能掌握和确定的，所以我不知道自己有多长的假期，或者说有没有假期，从年后一直烦闷，直到4月底知道答辩时间这种烦闷才略有好转。2.不知道有多少人会与我同行，因为我去西藏是打算包车的，而一辆越野车除司机外是坐3~4个人，最好是4个，这样费用是最划算的，人少了就贵，人多了就得再加一辆车，4或8个人当然最好，3个，6个，7个也行，万一是5个，那就真是呜呼哀哉了。3.行程的确定，到底是走A计划还是B计划，一直在纠结，最主要的原因是考虑到妈妈的身体情况。4.钱的问，小金毛的寄养问，旗子的问，师傅6月初开大会不知道哪一天结束的问，到底我是从北京还是从广州出发的问，中间还夹杂了去长岛的旅行问。。。。。。反正就是有一堆的问等待自己去发现及解决。解决的方法及最后的结果：1.（1）答辩的时间为5月21号，不会对出行造成影响。 （2）原计划6月6号广州飞拉萨，但我4号就得离开北京，回来安置好我家的小金毛，和妈妈一起出发，但不知道师傅的会几号结束，最后会议定在1~3号，4号踏实地离开。 （3）工作方面，陆总在5月24,25号两天进行了面试和体检，再有消息是6月中下旬，对我的计划几乎不造成影响，庆幸一下，但还是尽快回来为好。 （4）省医一开始说体检时7月中下旬的事，也不会对我的计划造成影响，但是在4号晚上，北京回广州的火车上，我接到了6号一早体检的通知，顿时傻了，是不去体检呢？还是改机票呢？南航一天就一个航班，我是退南航票，买别家的呢，还是改晚一天呢？N个电话后得到的结果是，如果退南航的票，买别家的票贵就不说，而且我之前买的是来回程的票，去程不坐南航，回程就没了，所以只能改后一天，但是改后一天，我就只能晚一天办边境证，也就是6月8号，但原计划是8号出发走阿里，8号办证能来得及么？一天的适应时间我妈妈受得了么？又是N个电话加深思熟虑，最后决定所有行程顺延一天，8号是周五，还能办边境证，要是周末就又得等两天，当机立断，赶紧改机票，又是N个电话，还是火车过山洞时信号不好的时候不断拨打，最终结果就是事情安排妥当后，几十块钱电话费又没了。不幸中的大幸是6号体检，万一是7号和8号，麻烦只会更大的。2.好兄弟脖子鱼一开始就退出了西藏之行，原因是多方面的，让我深感遗憾，就和去年贡嘎一样。小悠和张扬又没时间，色狼家里不放人，小肠没经费，老婆要考试，就算不考试家里也不同意，所以身边能和我同行的还是只有康娜。3.（1）行程的确定，一开始我想过两种进藏方案，一种是成都包车走318国道到拉萨，然后再去看珠峰，二是先到拉萨，再包车到处走，后来因为年后去云南，走梅里线的时候，一天坐12小时汽车，实在是烦了，所以改成了直奔拉萨。还有就是到拉萨的交通工具，开始时想坐火车的，但是票不好买，而且火车时间太长，我们的时间也有限，所以就改成飞机直飞，到拉萨再适应吧。至于到拉萨以后再怎么走，最后我选的是A计划，去阿里，因为实在是太喜欢看雪山了，心中太执着了，而且妈妈再不去，以后的身体条件更不适合了，这次不能说没有危险，我只能做好充分的准备，高原安，红景天，氧气，甲强龙，一个都不能少，而且先去看珠峰，万一不行，可以方便下撤。 （2）包车的问，找了很多家旅行社，报价从20000到24000不等，最后选择了一个最便宜的，也是给我感觉最好的一家。由于我们只有3人，一直还想再找到第4人，尝试了现实里拉人，网络上找人，最后未果，只能盯着高昂的车费出发，但愿风景能值回票价。 （3）第一次定机票时也出现了小插曲，导致原本十几分钟的事情愣是弄了一个半小时，最后的结果还不错，票都买下来，而且我也和那个客服代表熟悉了，以后订票又多了条私人关系。 （4）其他方面的问也一一解决，钱筹够了，小金毛放小舅家寄养了，摄影攻略找到了合适的了，装备也整齐了，药业买了。总的来说就是麻烦和困难很多，但都一一排除以及克服了。去西藏我一开始以为是需要三样东西，时间、金钱、身体，但后来我又发现需要魄力，但到了4号晚上接到体检通知的时候我有发现，还需要第5样，就是运气，如果我这次无法成行，无法圆梦，只能说明我暂时还与西藏无缘，但无论成行与否，所有的艰难困苦都将是对我的磨练，而我也从中学到很多东西，希望这次的圆梦之旅能顺利完成！出发前，先展示一下朋友们对我们的祝福，这是刚拿到旗子的时候拍的，到出发的时候，整面旗子都已经是名字了，可以和后面的照片对比 DAY1广州——拉萨444AM 睁眼，等待5点的到来，在等待的过程中赶到了淡淡的哀伤，是为什么呢？是这趟旅行的花费太高了，舍不得了？很多好友无法同行，亲爱的老婆也无法同行的缘故么？头天睡觉前看了一篇别人的游记，一路的风霜雨雪，没有美景，只有痛苦，我是在担心风景不给力么？500AM 起床，HR：53次/分。老妈起床时说昨晚吃了高原安后头疼，晨起还好点，这TMD是啥情况？不是假药吧！700AM办完登机，选择了安全通道那排座位，其中一个靠窗，航拍雪山是肯定不可少的，机场测得海拔27米，113°17′51″E，23°23′28″N。 飞机从广州至重庆一路的行程都是厚厚的云层，我的心也如云层一样厚重，我不希望蓝天，白云和阳光被乌云遮蔽。我们的飞机在重庆经停，再起飞前广播说起飞时间延后50分钟，但最终只晚了30分钟，在等待起飞的过程中，测得重庆的数据：海拔252米，106°38′12″E，29°43′4″N。飞机从重庆到拉萨的过程中，云层越来越薄，最后都已经变成小块状的了，地面已经能看见了，雪山也能看见了，我的心情终于也多云转晴了。快降落时我发现了，在西藏，天云地是如此的接近，这是以前从来没有体会过的感觉，在广州长大的我，从来都觉得云彩是高不可攀的1500 到达拉萨贡嘎机场，海拔3623米，91°7′57″E，29°39′52″N。我们住在天树花园酒店，下午算好日落的时间到布宫拍照，一开始夕阳被云朵挡住了，但是后来还是出现了，由于布宫不是非常准的坐北朝南，所以夕阳只把金顶和我们照亮了这就是在药王山的角度拍摄布宫，算是拍摄布宫的准照的机位吧，票价2元/人。今天从海平面直飞拉萨，轻微头疼（主要是同时拎着60来斤的行李），在药王山拍布宫时抽烟，头疼加重，但过会就好。说到在药王山拍摄布达拉宫，这里确实是个不错的机位，但是，来的人实在太多了，基本上拍出来的照片只要不是跑焦的，基本上都差不多，除非有很好的阳光和云彩作为衬托，不然我觉得，以我的摄影技术，想在这个位置拍出出彩的照片，难度恐怕很高。DAY2：拉萨晨起HR：70次/分，一晚上头疼，醒了多次，不过很快能再次入睡。上午去百益超市买干粮，罐头，零食等东西，以备大北线上没有吃饭的地方不至于饿死。我有一本摄影攻略，作者叫老鱼，下午我去布宫东侧拍摄布宫时，来到一个叫做老鱼饭局的餐馆，结果一聊才知道这个餐馆就是攻略那个老鱼开的，而且他本人就在餐馆内，于是和老鱼交流摄影经验，留了他的电话，然后就走去大昭寺，准备拍磕长头了。先用长焦拍，效果一般由于这个地方环境狭小，而且光线明暗差异很大，加上人多，动作杂乱，所以感觉用长焦拍摄不方便，就换上了24-70这个镜头，下面这张照片是一位藏民在给一个不知名的炉子里添加酥油。这是我很喜欢的一张照片，经幡与藏民，不能说每一个经过这个经幡的藏民都会虔诚的用额头来触碰这些经幡，但大多数都会停下脚步，用身体某个部分去与之接触换个角度看这个经幡，其实是某个东西的基座，远处是大昭寺的金顶，双鹿法轮就在我拍摄这个经幡的时候，一位藏族的大妈来向我化缘来了，可不要以为藏族同胞都是好吃懒做喜欢行乞的，而是他们为了心中的信仰，在朝拜途中实在没有经济来源时才向同胞求助的，我当然要慷慨解囊了，而且正好和老大妈说让她别动，当我的模特，说起来搞笑，这是我第一次付费拍摄，代价是5元，可惜当时没带外闪，阳光从头顶直射下来，加上大妈的帽子有宽大的帽檐，导致了他面部完全在阴影里，只有下巴有点亮光，没法把她脸上的神态和纹理拍摄清楚总觉得刚才在大昭寺门口没有拍到自己满意的照片，尤其是捕捉不到人们磕长头时的景象，非常的不甘心，于是我再次换上70-200焦距的爱死小白，蹲在大昭寺门口边上，换个角度，不从侧后方，二是从正侧方尝试抓拍，结果拍到了一张我很满意的照片，照片中的老大妈的虔诚一度让我忘记了按下快门，因为在那一瞬间，我的脑子不是在思考怎么拍照，而是在思考这大昭寺里面究竟有什么东西那么大魔力，让这位大妈这么身亡，这么诚心的跪拜没多久老妈和康娜来了，我们就到大昭寺广场外的藏餐馆吃饭，然后再度折回大昭寺，我妈每次看到这些小东西，都会忍不住停下来看看，有时候不得不说这些小玩意是挺吸引人的大昭寺广场永远都有转经的人流，这一天，我们并没有随人流转大昭寺，但是当我们从大北线回来以后，我们在此转了一圈本想在经幡边上打旗子的，但是保安不让，我只好站在经幡边上让康娜给我留影了，恰好有转经的人经过，我的相机也记录下一个游客与一个信徒之间的差异，我是用手随意地触摸着经幡，她是用额头虔诚的靠近经幡，其实当时我不是故意这么做出对比的，只是当时我是在思考问的时候，康娜给抓拍的，不知道这样一个不经意的动作，算不算是内心的自然流露呢前面说错了，原来我们这天也是转了大昭寺的，这张照片是我妈在选购小玩意时，我等她的时候抓拍的，其实在这一路上，磕长头的人有很多，但是要抓到一张自己满意的，并不是那么容易的，因为你既不能走得太近去打扰他们，又不能离得太远被人流遮挡镜头，所以想要拍一张好的，真要花点心思转经筒在八角街随处可见，大到要双手才能抱起来的，小到可以当手机挂饰的，款式太多，眼都花了，用店家的话说，总有一款适合你我们汉族人过年帖对联，藏族人是在屋顶插经幡，过年的时候把去年的旧经幡取下，但不是随意丢弃，而是统一集中到某个特定的地方，让其慢慢风化，回归自然。给我的感觉就是，他们很重视这些经幡，即使他们旧了，也不随意丢弃，而是给他们找个好归宿最后，夕阳西下，天公作美，送了我一张这样的照片。从大昭寺出来以后给老婆买了唐卡，然后坐人力三轮车回宾馆。在回程时和蹬车的人聊天发现他是个伟大的父亲，蹬了16的车，今年42岁，也就是说在和我一样年纪的时候就开始蹬车了，而且就是靠着蹬车养活了4个孩子，最大的孩子马上就要大学毕业了，突然觉得他很伟大，我在26岁的时候还在四处乱花钱，人家却已经靠着卖苦力养家糊口了。没有给这个伟大的爸爸照相，因为我不知道怎么用照片来表达我当时的感受，所以只能以文字表述了。DAY3 拉萨——日喀则630起床，700出门去拍布宫日出，地点已经选好，就是昨天去过的老鱼饭局，因为早上的缘故，选择了在布达拉宫的东面，顺光的方向拍摄的，这也是为什么在下午的时候要在药王山拍摄的原因，就是不想逆光。当第一缕阳光照到布宫时，我得到了这么张照片在思考光圈，快门，色温以及构图的时候，我无意间发现天上的云彩似乎呈问号状，于是拍了一张布宫在思考的照片太阳越升越高，布宫呈现明暗相间，可以和第一缕阳光刚照上布宫那张比较一下 1000 陆地巡洋舰正式起航，开始我们阿里大北线之旅，出发前公里数：315917KM1200 到达岗巴拉山口，这是第一个能看到羊卓雍错的地方，也是拍摄羊卓雍错准照的地方，天气好的话，还能看见远处7000+的宁金岗桑峰，这天虽然云比较多，但雪山还是为我露出了笑脸和藏獒合影完后，我们第一次打旗，现在的旗子已经是慢慢的祝福了顺公路下行一小段，来到一个不知道算不算是观景台的地方，换个角度继续拍摄羊湖，在这里我先用牦牛当前景照相，感觉不错，可我照完以后居然有个藏民过来和我说要收5元，我不乐意了，我说我拍之前你不说，现在说什么意思，要不我把照片删了行了吧，那老哥说删了也收钱，我听了就来气，直接无视他继续拍照再来一张羊湖的准照，因为这个地方基本上是人人都会选择拍照的地方，所以拍出来的也都差不多，要真想找不同的角度，除非到对面的山头上吧，这张照片很好的说明了，在晴天来到羊湖的重要性，因为天上的云彩会严重影响湖面的颜色左边是我，中间是同学康娜，右边是我妈虽然一干朋友没能同行，但打个旗，让朋友们看到这张照片的时候，也算是心里好过点吧，至少我在看到美景的同时，是想着和你们一起分享的最后当然少不了接片了，因为羊湖很大，而且形状极其不规则，湖水分布在山脉之间，所以是不可能照全的，除非从上往下航拍。这天多云，湖面不是纯蓝色的，而是蓝黑相间，虽没看见最美的羊湖，但此景对付我这种凡夫俗子的审美，那是绰绰有余了，借用一哥们的话说，湖面如同磨砂玻璃一样，呵呵([]

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([]

李百海美国佛蒙特州440公里的"长小道"， The Long Trail, 是美国最老的长距离贯通徒步小道。它于1910年至1930年期间修筑完成。其南端起点为与麻萨诸塞州的州界，北部终点是与加拿大接壤的边境线。"长小道"穿越佛蒙特州境内的整个绿山山脉，Green Mountains的大部分顶峰。 同时它又与美国东部地区的另一个3500公里的长距离小道，阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail，在其南部公享170公里左右的线路。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的英文简介。美国佛蒙特州"长小道";的位置图。";长小道"以地形复杂，险峻，困难而著称。佛蒙特州东部临近大西洋，西部紧接香槟湖，所以雨量很充沛，加上沿途的土质为细泥，遇水后，小道积水不散，十分泥泞，极易导致身体行走部位的疾病。退却的冰川在佛蒙特州留下了明显的痕迹，小道经常使用，在陡峭地区水土流失严重，遇水后，光滑裸露的石头给行走者带来非常不确定的安全保障系数。美国佛蒙特州"长小道"的小比例尺地形图。"长小道"， The Long Trail由佛蒙特州的GREEN MOUNTAIN Club的工作人员负责养护，维修，和提供各种便利的设施，象避难所，或简易木屋等。 他们在有些地点向徒步露营者收取一定的费用，以补贴开销。小道依然用白色油漆的长方形记号，在树上，表示小道的方向。外加最多木质的文字指示牌，来提供给使用者简洁明了的信息。这种运作模式在很多美国当地的户外俱乐部都采纳，特别是沿由各州俱乐部分段负责的阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail。"长小道"历史的英文简介。我在2009年做3500公里阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail背包贯通时，完成了在其南端的170公里，在2010年又从加拿大边境向南走了约80公里。我今年从与阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail分岔的地方重新开始，向北190公里，与去年停止的地方相接，从而完成了全长440公里的的"长小道"。限于时间与水平，我大部采用纪实性的描述，并按时间推移的顺序来完成这个记录。2009年8月21日当日起点 Wilbur Clearing Tent Site, MA, AT M. P. 1,579.4当日终点 Congdon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 10.0里程数 10.0 英哩 (16.1 公里)天气 阴天到暴雨我今天的路程。红色的小屋，外加说明，为示意性的夜晚露营地点。我进到镇上的时间尚早，按预定计划补充食品，便沿2号公路往Williamstown的超市走去。我给自己买了四个甜面包圈，和一大杯咖啡，很快消灭完了。购物完毕后，我感到天气十分的闷热，沿着来时的公路返回小道。麻萨诸塞州与佛蒙特州的交界还在照片大山的后面，要有一阵子爬了。由于天热，上坡消耗了不少的体力。到了山顶我发现天开始飘下雨滴来，但没有任何立刻的威胁。 麻萨诸塞州在"长小道"南端起点与州界交会处设置的牌。这里同时又与阿帕拉契亚小道， Appalachian Trail共用。佛蒙特州在"长小道"南端起点与州界交会处设置的牌。沿着它走440公里，就可以到加拿大的边境了，但最好不要越过，万一被美国边境巡逻发现，法律问就来了。我重新上路几个小时后遇到了一场雷暴雨，被迫穿着雨衣，坐在地上半个小时。在到达Congdon Shelter之前，我走过湖边，泥潭，沼泽地等，两脚全部湿透，给今后几天的行程带来了极大的痛苦。我走了好半天终于到了Congdon Shelter， 一个老旧，黑暗的双层木屋。一个来自澳大利亚的阿帕拉契亚小道南行直通背包客已经在里面了。我们聊了好半天，并想法晾干潮湿的衣服，但作用不大。我刚睡下不久，也快要到晚上九点钟，两个年轻人，Tully和Jungli 姗姗来迟。我心里有点意见，但想来他们为年轻人，正在学习阶段，不要过分责备他们。由于我从麻萨诸塞过来一直在病中恢复，体力非常疲乏，人情绪很低落，加上天气不好，脚病严重，小道西周无风景，所以连续好多天，拍片的欲望几乎没有。 2009年8月22日当日起点 Congdon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 10.0当日终点Goddard Shelter, VT LT M.P. 24.4里程数 14.4 英哩 (23.2 公里)天气 阴天到小雨我依旧想往常一样，早早起来，与那位来自澳大利亚的朋友互相道别，便走在茂密，潮湿，和泥泞的树林里。那两个年轻人还在睡觉，就象其他年轻人一样，起来的都较晚。但他们体力好，白天能做出长距离，而且傍晚结束得也迟，所以在行程上并不落后。佛蒙特州的"长小道"，处于一种特殊的地质构造上，地表有很丰厚的土壤覆盖 ，且多为细状，或腐质的泥土。由於小道长期使用，表面形成低洼的槽型，下雨后容易积水，而且非常不易排出。昨天的大雨使得小道非常的难走，我很多时候无法越过大一点的泥潭，必须要绕道行走。更可恶的是这小道经过好几个湿地，和湖泊。那里面的水积蓄太多，都溢满出来了。原来不错的，木板条铺设的小道全部被沉浸在好几英寸的水里，我不得不穿着鞋走过去，反正也已经湿透了。长时间的将脚浸泡在水里，使得皮肤变得软。鞋子和袜子受水后，体积变大，加上我仍穿着两层的袜子，一个缺智的决定。因为以上几个原因，我脚皮肤被磨破的机率大大地增加，而自己却没能及时地预见到。一路上几乎没有任何的观景点，一直都在茂密的林子里行走。经过一个大爬坡，我最终来到了Goddard Shelter，一个海拔高度3,540英尺的山坡上。这是我从美国南部地区过来露宿的最高的一座山峰，已经好几个月了。里面有许多往南行走的人，包括一些加拿大来的徒步者。我与他们聊了半天，并在那里吃了晚饭。。因感到今晚在棚里宿营太拥挤了些，我就在附近的林子了找了一片空地，搭起帐篷。 一个父女的搭伴也来到此地，在林子里象我一样。我犯了大错误，将我的帐篷设置在一个小浅沟上，一厢情愿地晚上不要下雨，人太累又不去反复思考一下，但结果恰恰相反。第二天早上发现帐篷里面的脚一端全是积水，衣服，睡袋，睡垫全部潮了。幸亏我带的是化纤的睡袋，问还不太严重。当天的路程及宿营地点。 2009年8月23日当日起点 Goddard Shelter, VT LT M.P. 24.4当日终点 Story Spring Shelter, VT LT M.P. 33.3里程数 8.9 英哩 (14.3 公里)天气 阴天到大雨爬上Glastenbury Mountain并不困难，但我脚上开始觉得很疼痛。山顶的一个旧的森林火灾了望塔已经没有观察员了。我去过不少有了望塔的山顶，只有一次遇见个了望员，并与他聊了一会儿，知道当代的无线电话通讯与卫星观测技术发展很快，靠人工来报警即慢又不准确，又费人工，所以大部分已经废除了。Glastenbury Mountain山顶的火灾了望塔。下Glastenbury Mountain给我一身中第一次这样的感觉，我是象走在一个完全绿色的世界里。树叶，树皮，地表，石头都被绿色所包围与覆盖。小道的表面高低不平，很粗糙，我要用脚掌来掌握好平衡。 这样就造成前脚掌的应力过分集中，给已经感染的破损伤口，主要在脚趾之间和底下，带来了巨大的疼痛。我在临近中午十分，实在无法忍受，似乎意识到一个原因所在，将里面的一层袜子脱掉，好减轻一下挤压的感觉。此时天从阴天转为零星小雨，并逐渐加大。我穿上雨衣，在雨里走了一刻钟，到了Story Spring Shelter。我估计雨还要再下，不愿拖着带伤的脚，让其继续恶化， 决定今天到此为止。我在棚子里见到了一个阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包徒步者，Beam Man, 正在休整。他说他在康乃迪克州Salisbury的一家客栈里见过我。 我当时正发烧严重，没有留意过往的客人。另外我昨晚见到那两个父女搭档，不久又出现了。我原本不知道他们为父女，有点岁数差，觉得有点奇怪，羡慕那男的有桃花运气，但经那男的一说才明白。他们是从Grafton, Maine来的。他跟我将说了在缅因州州徒步的经历和所花的时间，给了我一些思想准备。北边的记为我今天的营地。下面的是昨天的， 因为我北行。下午又陆续来了些背包徒步者，一个阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包徒步者今晚与我共用这个避难所。另外一帮哈佛大学的新生也来凑热闹，但觉得人多棚子里会太挤，就到附近露营去了。他们是参加一个新生辅导适应项目，用集体背包徒步的方式来完成，对我来说挺新鲜的，估计益处不少。下午一直在下大雨，到傍晚才停。我也睡了一个长的午觉。又是临近晚上九点时分，那两个阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包徒步，青年男女搭档出现在棚子里，我此时已经睡了好久了。但一般不成文的规矩是，晚上九点钟后到了营地，就不应该去棚子打扰了，而是睡在外面。理论上讲他们遵守规则，但也太靠近时限，一般人在棚子里七，八点钟就入睡了。他们与我说话，吃饭，弄了我好半天没能睡着。我在麻萨诸塞州的一个营地第一次碰见Tully，那个男生，可能大学才毕业，人挺随和的。当时我被千军万马的蚊子说包围，痛苦不堪，自己在外搭起帐篷。他又因为食物不够第二天要早点下山。看来年轻人不愿被琐事烦恼，计划不周是他们的特点之一。但同时这也体现出他们无忧无虑，尽情放松的生活态度。反正他们有身体的资本和足够的勇气，出来玩，何必象我操那么多心呢? 2009年8月24日当日起点 Story Spring Shelter, VT LT M.P. 33.3当日终点 Spruce Peak Shelter, VT LT M.P. 51.6里程数 18.3 英哩 (29.4 公里)天气 阴天到多云今天一开始的几个小时都是在相对较低的地方行走。可以想象那泥泞的小道给我带来的麻烦。四周的景色依然没有，只有无边无际的绿色树林。我穿过几个乡间公路，也见过一些人家，觉得倒是退休后隐居的好去处。爬Stratton Mountain需要不少的时间，上山的路上遇见一个女性阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包徒步者，聊了好一会儿，我们互祝走运。对她来讲还有更多的路程要走。北边的记为我今天的营地。今天我的脚情况更糟糕，不但很疼痛，而且还发出难闻的怪味。可能受潮后的鞋子与发炎的肌肤共同造成的。我经常要把脚趾向内卷起，避免接触到鞋底，以减轻疼痛。我行走得速度相当得缓慢。我昨天已经开始服用内服抗菌素，阿莫西林，以帮助减轻炎症。越往上走，越能看到高山地带的植被，整个小道的面貌也发生变化。我在山顶与见到一个女性木屋看护员。她扮演小道历史的讲解员，和环境提倡者的角色。我又遇见那两个父女搭档。我歇了一会儿，吃了点东西，因上面温度低，就赶紧下山了。Stratton Mountain的铭牌。其海拔高度3,936英尺(1,200米)。左边便是个旧的火灾了望塔。Stratton Mountain山顶的解说牌，象历史，注意事项，地图等。我在山顶的小歇处。Stratton Mountain山顶的小木屋。住着Green Mountain Club的专职看护员，主要是向大众讲解"长小道"的历史，平时的作业，注意事项，和积极推广环保的观念等。下到Stratton Mountain山下，在湖边遇到又一个父女搭档的背包客。这次他们是从新墨西哥州来的。因家庭闹纠纷，那男的还随身携带许多家庭里的私人文件，准备在法庭上使用。他的小女儿爱画画，他就不停地拿给我看。可我却急得赶路呢! 我在山顶见到的来自缅因州的那对父女搭档正在对面的湖边营地晾晒潮湿的装备，而我因脚疼，走得慢，不想丧失时间。我在下一个避难所附近给一个在Manchester Center的私人客栈的主人打了个电话，预定了一间房间，好明天住进。奇怪，在山里居然还有手机信号!下午的大半行程相对容易，但我脚却疼得麻木了。来到距通往Manchester Center的公路不远的Spruce Peak Shelter， 里面有个来自波士顿的徒步老者。知道我的脚伤后给了我一些水泡帖片。 但我又还给他，我的情况更严重，不是水泡问，而是感染发炎。我感到自己得头上有点发热，估计是发炎引起的低烧。那对来自缅因州州的父女搭档又来到此地，依照他们的传统，在附近的林子里搭营。我们三次见面，似乎已经成为好朋友了。他们告诉我他们的食品储备多，明天继续往前赶路。而我明天却要到城市里去。我们在傍晚时相互问候道别。我谢谢他们给我提供的缅因州州徒步信息，因为那里有一段很艰难。2009年8月25日当日起点 Spruce Peak Shelter, VT LT M.P. 51.6当日终点 Rt. 11/30, to Manchester Center, VT LT M.P. 54.4里程数 2.8 英哩 (4.5 公里)天气 多云到晴昨晚避难所里又来了一批年轻人，睡觉时倒挺安静的。我早早离开，想尽早地进城，好好地休整一下。花了一个多小时，我就来到佛蒙特州Rt. 11/30公路。没有十分钟，一位驾着斯巴鲁的乡绅便把车子挺到路边。他一会儿对我说他的儿子在外徒步，也希望能搭乘到别人的车。我住在Manchester Center的Sutton Place。这家客栈为私人的住宅，上面二楼的几间卧室全部改装为客房。我选了一间最小的，也是最便宜的。但绝对值上却相当的贵，因为这个州是个旅游业的州。这个城市为典型消费型的，有众多名牌产品促销店，而在冬季又是滑雪的好去处。我今天的路程。左边为Manchester Center。Sutton Place前的一条街。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。主街商业街的一部分。名牌产品销售区。名牌产品销售区。左边街对面为洗衣房。 右边是名牌产品销售区。左边为洗衣房。我在洗衣的时候，洗衣房旁边一个甜面包圈店。我在里面简单吃了早点，问掌柜的哪里有好的餐馆。那人告诉我不远处的这家餐馆。我点了一份牛排，吃的时候发现，做的太老了，底下都烤焦了，很失望，但还是给了那服务员，一位退休妇女小费。从第一家餐馆出来。当地的商业中心。我在右边那家超市，Price Chopper里买了食品，我事先知道可以问其经理能否享受与当地持会员卡人同样的折价，有点出乎我的意外，他们很爽快地同意了。这个城市里有几个户外用品商店。一家大的就在画面右边， Eastern Mountain Sports.我的头像，十分的疲惫，和被脚病所困扰。食品超市。一家中国餐馆。我在一个多小时内又吃了一顿午饭。附近的一座高山。想爬山的人，住在这地方不错，四周都有高山。买完食品，往回走去。今天晚上我来到此家餐馆，叫了份牛排与大西洋龙虾，那里的色拉菜为尽管吃。味道比中午吃的牛排要好多了。服务生小姐又热情漂亮，钱多花一点也挺值的。但这个量对我来说根本不够。商业街旁的景色。商业街旁的景色。商业街上貌似住宅，但却为名牌商店。注意基督教堂前立柱上的中文。2009年8月26日当日起点 Rt. 11/30, to Manchester Center, VT LT M.P. 54.4当日终点 Baker Peak, VT LT M.P. 66.8 (+-)里程数 12.4 英哩 (20.0 公里)天气 多云到小雨，转晴我想早点回到小道上去，放弃了在街头等搭免费车的概念。所以我昨天回来客栈后便于当地的一个出租车联系好，今早送我回小道。那个司机是个意大利移民，娶了泰国的女人，最后明白着向我要小费。通常我是给一点。但只有他以为背包徒步者都是下层人物，年轻人，不懂规矩，先明讲。我感觉到金钱味，很粗俗。个人旅途时间充裕的话，还是搭车的好，至少能帮助省点钱。今天我所走的路线。一进入小道不久就遇到前天晚上在Spruce Peak Shelter里碰见的来自波士顿的老者，看样子太累了，打算回家。Bromley Mt.是个滑雪场地。昨天还是个大晴天，可现正乌云密布，似乎又要下雨了。山顶附近的雪道。山顶上的缆车终点。山顶处为滑雪者提供的避难处。我在那儿避风处，小歇了一会。山顶附近的雪道。 山顶附近的雪道。我肯定这地方为私人拥有。Green Mountain Club与私人地皮拥有者达成协议，让徒步者无偿通行使用。快要走下山顶。注意那石柱上的识，阿帕拉契亚小道，向北。此处"长小道"依然与阿帕拉契亚小道共用一条线路。从Bromley Mt.下来前，前方天空的乌云。可能又是一个下雨天。下午两，三点钟的时候，天开始下起雨来了。我的脚昨天得到一个喘气的机会，加上我买了外用粉状消炎药，有好转的趋势，因此不想因受潮，再次将病情恶化。因离下一个避难所还远，我就开始琢磨在林子里找一片稍微平整的地方搭营露宿。二十多分钟后，终于找到了一个。没办法，山上地势崎岖，那地方距小道只有五，六米远。我才进帐篷，雨就下大了，侥幸逃过弄湿脚的厄运。我睡了个午觉，醒来没多久，听到外面的脚步声，便问谁在那里。那人回答我说他是Tully，一个我已经碰到过好几次的阿帕拉契亚小道北行贯通背包客。我撩开帐篷，与他简短地讲了我的情况。他祝我病情早日恢复，并以后在另一个网络，他的日志里专门提到这个情节。天到傍晚的时候，天开始变得晴朗了。我的心稍微得到了些安慰。今天相对有更多的时间恢复，脚的病情肯定会好转，明天我就可以做更长距离。2009年8月27日当日起点 Baker Peak, VT LT M.P. 66.8 (+-)当日终点 Clarendon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 87.8里程数 21.0 英哩 (33.8 公里)天气 晴我今天脚上的感觉要比前几天好多了，用药和休息都促进了它们的康复。而我在体力上又借此恢复了不少。天气晴朗，小道上的积水消失得更快。我一路"飞奔"，想把前几天失去的时间给找回来。我今天的路程。我一大早从林中的营地起来，便来到Baker Peak。从上面可以看到山谷里的公路。实际上我昨天下午至晚上都能听见车辆的马达声。可惜，我拍的照片都曝光不足，对面山谷无法重现。途中的一条小溪。我想这是叫Big Branch溪。过Big Branch溪时的一座悬索桥，及小道指示牌。Little Rock Pond的景色。湖边高低不平的路面又一次地提醒了我的脚伤。Little Rock Pond Tenting Area看护员的营地。他们被Green Mountain Club所雇佣，照理这里的露营事宜。因为这里的使用率高，背包徒步者想搭帐篷的话，一定要到规定的平台去，而且要向看护人员缴费，大概吧!Little Rock Pond的另一端。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。在此，我碰见一个阿帕拉契亚小道南行贯通背包客。大家寒喧了几句，互祝走运。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。White Rocks Cliff的乱石艺术造型，都是背包徒步者的杰作。昨天晚上露营地对面山谷向北的延伸。下面山谷里的机场是Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport。 Clarendon Gorge，Clarendon峡谷的下游。 它只是一个小峡谷。Clarendon峡谷的上游。我站在Clarendon峡谷的悬索桥上。美国有些大众娱乐的场所，基础设施惊人的好。佛蒙特州Rt. 103公路旁的一片草地。可见阿帕拉契亚小道的木质记，"A"字底下加个尾巴。这里要爬个相当陡峭的乱石堆。在这个时节，因气温高，我爬得慢，还被蚊子咬了不少口。Clarendon Shelter离这里已经不远了，一个小时不到的路程。我才到那避难所，就看见分别几天的阿帕拉契亚小道北行背包徒步者，Beam Man，和另两个人从旁走来。他们比我要快两天，正利用当地客栈的车辆，送他们作轻装徒步呢! 我安顿得比较早，在吃过完饭后不久，那个昨天傍晚在路边见到的Tully也来到了这个避难所。只不过他想休息一下，吃点东西，看好地图，然后继续上路。他可能在寻找一个非"官方"的捷径，因为这里人类开发的早，到处都有小径或道路。今晚我感到气温在下降，季节到了。2009年8月28日当日起点 Clarendon Shelter, VT LT M.P. 87.8当日终点 Rt. 4, to Rutland, VT LT M.P. 104.2里程数 16.4 英哩 (26.4 公里)天气 阴我上路后没多久就发现，小道的地理与我资料书上的不一样，而且沿途好长一段没有路。所以我心里一直嘀咕，此时每分体力都十分宝贵，就怕爬得冤枉。到了山顶后才发现那白色的记，于是松了一口大气。我下山后就碰到这个走失在护栏外的小母牛。因为小道非常泥泞，我不远睬到泥里，再弄湿脚，但又顾虑从其旁边走过会惊吓她，而把我给弄翻在地上。于是就想方设法与那母牛沟通，让她腾出个地方，和干脆走开。我不断地发出声音。起先她有点紧张，但很快地就明白了我的意思，知道我只想从旁的石头上经过，就朝着我的方向小跑过来，到我的身后去了。我大喜，感激她没有把我给弄倒在泥泞不堪的地上。([]
