白春茂出发前写下的话：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([]

蔡任秋五台山，中国佛教第一圣地。位于山西省五台县境内，方圆五百余里，海拔三千米，由五座山峰环抱而成，五峰高耸，峰顶平坦宽阔，如垒土之台，故称五台。五台分别为东台望海峰，西台挂月峰，南台锦绣峰，北台叶斗峰，中台翠岩峰。五台之中北台叶斗峰最高，海拔３０５８米，素称“华北屋脊”。五台山除五大禅处外，名寺还有金阁寺和碧山寺等。碧山寺是五台山最大的十方禅寺，佛经称东、西、南、北、东南、西南、东北、西北、上、下为十方。十方禅寺是可以使各方名僧来作主持的禅院，又叫十方刹。五台山在隋唐时已经名声远播，宋以后，日本、印尼、尼泊尔等国的僧侣与五台山都有往来。从五台山源远流长的兴始发展中，我们不难看出它在四大佛山所占据的特殊地位。它不仅生动翔实的记录了中国佛教起落兴衰的过程，同时还展现了佛教文化的灿烂和进步。作为我国四大佛教名山之首的五台山，千百年来吸引了无数的游人。 东台：又称望海峰，台顶如鳌鱼脊，海拔2795米。 鸿门岩：海拔2500. 北台：叶斗峰(3061m)，号称“华北屋脊” 中台：翠岩峰(2894m). 西台：挂月峰(2773米) 狮子窝 金阁寺 南台：锦绣峰(2474米) 大朝台线路 漫漫朝台路 包车从武汉与山西忻州砂河镇往返，单边行程约1200公里。这里友情提示下：考虑到湖北到达山西五台的火车票紧张加上队员多不方便转车，本次包车前往。但是最大的细节失误是没有预计到山西境内高速的本地规定是：大客车禁止夜间通行的时间与全国的不一样，当地高速规定：晚20：00--凌晨5：00禁止大客通行（与全国的规定凌晨2：00--5：00不同）。副领队：凡人 从砂河镇上鸿门岩。这里也友情提示下：五台门票目前168元，进山费100元，但这只是从台怀镇进入上五台的规定，而我们从砂河镇进入上五台，再从南台出来，没有任何收取门票和进山费用的地方。 鸿门岩 轻装东台往返东台眺望北台鸿门岩至北台，突遇8级狂风夹雨水以及大雾天气，重装沿山脊穿越几乎无法站立行走，同时狂风夹着雨水击打在全身，手上感觉如同冰雹击打，全身迅速失温，大雾中几乎难以看到前行的线路，原定的山脊和直切向上几乎不太可能。 当晚在北台挂单 第二天早上6：00全体24名队友北台合影，出发向中台。([]

张景昌前提：这是2011年的游记，只是发布的比较晚而已~回答下大家的疑虑有时候会觉得，独自旅行并不是一件看起来那么风光的事。在机场等飞机的时候，在lignon hill呆坐着等火山的时候，孤独的夜晚在legaspi的政府宿舍里看电视的时候，咬着呼吸管睁大眼睛看着紫色珊瑚的时候，子夜拿着手电筒走山路回家的时候 ，星光下泛舟海面看萤火虫的时候，在饭店里苍蝇围绕哦中洗无穷无尽的盘子的时候，在MRT出站电梯上回头望着汹涌人潮的时候，经常会想到很多东西，关于旅行，承诺，生命，时间，以及所有的一切。我似乎是为了寻找其中存在的某种意义，想要变得更坚强，更隐忍，更闪亮，更勇敢，所以才迷恋一个人的旅行。但是回首时，发现旅行仅仅是旅行本身，意义之类的东西只是转瞬即逝的心灵悸动，我害怕忘记，渴望惊喜，所以，我背上包，第二次探索菲律宾，我钟爱的国度。 我希望你不是为图而来，而是用心和我一起体会这段旅行，文字有13000多，如果没有耐心，请不要看了。*沙发couchsurfing指的是“沙发客”，一种通过网络联系当地居民免费获得住宿的办法。D1：我回来了依然是红眼delay航班，依然是怨妇一样的心态，每次旅行的开端心境仿佛都不怎么好，没心情欣赏广州的夜色，翻出《挪威的森林》英文版开始看第十遍。不知不觉睡着了，醒来已经是在马尼拉，打的去了international youth hostel.这里就像是我的家一样，每个服务生我都认识，每个微笑我都熟悉。在凌晨2点冲进门，说出“我回来了，亲爱的们。”的时候，仿佛时光倒流，一切美好的事情还会重演。D2：我的家 早上出门的第一个目的地显然是Intramuros，当跪在教堂的椅子上，仰望彩绘玻璃窗的时候，上帝告诉我，尽管过去了3个月的时光，尽管这世界上发生了千千万万的事，马尼拉还是那个马尼拉，Intramuros还是我的Intramuros，youth hostel还是我的家，内心安稳。每次回到马尼拉，最重要的事情非购物莫属，尤其Makati是我最爱，这次刚好赶上FOREVER 21打折，所有女孩像疯了一样在里面抢来抢去。全年都是夏天的国度，毛衣比夏装还便宜，每次都有一种乡下老鼠进城的感觉，眼睛都看不过来的五光十色。逛完大商场就是Baclaran market，因为青旅在附近，Baclaran market成为每天的必经之地。或许你在马尼拉，看过马尼拉湾的落日，去过各大shopping mall血拼，进过Intramuros的每一座古老建筑，但是这还不完全是真实的马尼拉。这座城市有摩天大楼，有古老建筑，更有Baclaran market 污水横流的逼仄街道，在泥水中嬉戏的儿童，推车卖饮品的小贩，鳞次栉比的服装小店，炸鸡的香味，钱币递出的响声，五花八门的Jeepny，街边鲜艳的各种切好的水果……这个世界真实的一面在彼处，也在此处。 晚上在青旅和大家聊天拍照，感叹facebook终于可以用了真是太难得了。D3：没有火山 青旅的隔音效果很差，晚上常有很吵很吵的摩托车经过，宿舍里住的基本都是菲律宾人，早上6点她们就会起床洗漱，睡得不沉，就会被吵醒。可是很奇迹地，我睡到10点才起。和一个日本哥哥一起拼车打的去机场。每次听到我说出自己的名字Sukey时，他就开心得手舞足蹈.....在机场等去legaspi的飞机的时间里，注意到一个女生，化着很得体漂亮的妆容，穿MUJI的衣服，看的书，文字是竖着写的。她就是我后来搭讪的山田蓝子，日菲混血，少见的英文超好没有口音的日本女孩，在legaspi的私立大学读书，在飞机delay的时间里，我们聊到donsol，聊到异国生活，被她表扬我的日语没有中国口音，非常开心。可惜飞机降落后就再也没有见到她。旅行中有无数的离别，我知道只有相逢的喜悦才能冲淡离别的伤感。这次来菲律宾之前匆匆忙忙在couchsurfing联系到了legaspi和coron的两个host，legaspi的host Pearl Marian 是位非常善良的大学老师，竟然来机场接我，带我去cagsawa church ，可惜天气阴沉，不能看到火山全貌。一路上她对我讲述2009年那一场台风，夺去了许许多多的生命。马荣火山就在那里，有时像守护神一样，惠泽方圆百里的田野，有时又称为猛兽，伤害山脚下的人。pearl带我去pacific mall里吃了晚饭，又叫她的医生朋友Jay帮我联系，让我住在政府宿舍里，RMB28一晚还是有空调有电视的单人房，电视可以收到好多中文频道，异国他乡能听到中文是非常开心的事。晚上下起大雨，pearl介绍我去宿舍附近的Bicol Blends Cafe 吃东西，第一次吃到云呢拿辣味雪糕，非常刺激！雨一直不停，她拿出笔记本电脑上网，我拿出书慢慢看。背景音乐是无穷无尽的爵士乐，我喜欢这种安静美好的氛围。([]

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([]

曹雅惠〖前言〗2013年8月7日上午，肯尼亚首都内罗毕乔默-肯雅塔国际机场爆发大火，烧毁国际到达大厅，机场关闭。听闻这个消息时，我们正在从安博塞利返回内罗比的路上。“既然机场关闭，我们是不是可以晚回几天？正好可以再去一次马赛马拉！”得知这条坏消息，我们的第一反应不是叹气，反倒有点幸灾乐祸。我们在马赛马拉只呆了三天，三天的时间，对于辽阔无边的马赛马拉草原来说哪里足够，只觉意犹未尽，诸多遗憾。8月8日，按原计划下午我们就将搭乘阿联酋航空返国。但一大早便得知消息，国际机场当天依旧关闭。清静和飞翔开始与旅行社及保险公司联系，75忙着联系更便宜的酒店，因为十有八九我们这天是无法离开了。走不了，但也去不了马赛马拉，因为正值马赛马拉的旺季，如果没有提前几个月预订住宿，根本是一房难求。午饭后，我们兵分两路：大部队去机场确认航班消息，我和蟋蟀头及75去希尔顿酒店预订当晚的住宿。因美亚保险认为机场火灾不在我们的保险范围之内，保险公司拒不承担我们滞留的任何费用，所以我们得找便宜一点的住宿。对于我们这类出行常住青旅或家庭旅馆的驴友来说，希尔顿这样的五星级酒店向来不在考虑之内。但，这是在内罗毕，我们必须为自己选择一个安全的酒店。而安全，往往则意味着昂贵。在希尔顿订好住宿后，我们三人赶到机场与大部队汇合。机场区的空气里依旧弥漫着一股浓烈的焦味，国际航班抵达区的建筑被浓烟熏黑，且部分坍塌。此情此景，惨不忍睹。对于我们这些滞留的客人将如何处置，机场与阿联酋航空没有任何表态。我们一无所获地离开机场，回到希尔顿。200美元/晚的住宿费，除了安全，我们并没得到更多。房间又小又旧，似乎连如家也不如，晚餐的费用又高得离谱，大家再也没有玩的心情，只一门心思想着回去。8月9日，一大早check out后赶到机场，机场早已是人潮汹涌，混乱不堪。我们挤在一个小通道处，在长不到十米的通道排了两三个小时，才总算安检完进入check-in大厅。原以为进去后便诸事大吉，谁知那只是等待的开始。check-in大厅里早已挤得人满为患，但离开的人少，进来的人却在源源不断地增加。在阿联酋团队check-in的柜台前又排队两小时后，方得知阿联酋当天并没增加一个航班，这意味着7号8号未离开的旅客将继续滞留。满怀希望的人群一片哗然，开始躁动不安。阿联酋航空的工作人员站在柜台上讲话，让非当天机票的乘客离开，“NO！NO！”滞留的旅客，而且大多是中国游客，喊着统一的口号，表示抗议。这样的劝退与躁动发生几个回合后，驻内罗毕的中国大使馆人员赶到，人群爆发出一阵掌声，集体喊着“我们要回家！我们要回家！”这样的场面我从未经历，有点震惊，也有点感动。大使馆参赞与各团队的领队交流后，又与阿联酋的工作人员沟通。但那晚，我们的等待并没有一个好的结束。八月的内罗毕，晚上凉风习习。机场上已搭了两天的帐篷，依然还在搭建中，黑人兄弟的工作效率，实在不能令人恭维。我们一群人站在机场的一块空地上，讨论我们的何去何从。讨论没有结果，唯一确定的是，先回酒店休息。在机场耗了一整天，大家都累了，身心俱疲。所幸的是，8月10日一大早，阿联酋航空便来电，要我们赶紧去机场。这一天，机场的秩序明显比前一天好很多，我们顺利地办完值机、通关、安检，直至坐到帐篷搭成的临时候机大厅时，心里才安定许多。心安之余，回想肯尼亚的这十多天旅程，只觉内心五味杂陈。原以为可以在肯尼亚无污染的大草原上畅快呼吸，享受天然氧吧，谁知灰尘铺天盖地，大家都用口罩或头巾捂着脸，每天回到房间都是蓬头垢面。原以为可以在内罗毕穿街走巷，享受逛街乐趣，谁知内罗毕安全堪忧，因抢劫时常发生，我们所停留的地方，除了餐厅，就是酒店。原以为只要在对的时节到了马赛马拉，每天都可以欣赏到角马过河的壮观场景，谁知这其实非常靠运气。但不得不承认，近距离看动物是多么美好的一件事。优雅的长颈鹿、温顺的斑马、性感的猎豹、稳重的大象、猥琐的鬣狗、霸气十足的狮子。。。当曾在动物园里才能看到的动物，忽然在我周围自由行走、奔跑，那感觉真是无以伦比的美妙。特别是当狮子情侣含情脉脉地对望时，那一刻，我的心瞬间被打动，化得如水一般温柔。当然，更多的故事，更多的细节，还是请与我一起，走进肯尼亚。 D1（7-29）上海——迪拜——内罗毕4点钟，天未亮，整个城市还在沉睡中，我俩便拎着行李从家里出发了，去浦东机场与朋友们汇合。我们将搭乘715的航班，经迪拜转机前往肯尼亚的首都内罗毕。在这之前，我只睡了3个小时。待飞机准时起飞时，我已进入沉沉的睡梦中。在梦中，我似乎进入了时光隧道，去往另一个不同维度的空间。但的确，那是另一个不同的国度，位于赤道上的东非国家——肯尼亚。抵达时，我们的时针将往回拨5个小时。时光倒流，在抵达肯尼亚的那一刻，梦想成真。 内罗毕国际机场，号称是东非最大、也最繁忙的机场，但在我们看来，小，且陈旧。繁忙却是真，当地时间傍晚19点过时，依然人流如潮，通关时，三四个关口处排着冗长的队伍。机场让人失望，但入住的酒店Crowne plaza却是当晚最大的惊喜了。出发之前，领队清静就说，肯尼亚的条件不太好， 即使五星级酒店，也不一定有wifi，也不保证有热水淋浴，千万不要用国内五星级酒店的准来衡量。所以，当我们走进酒店，便有人递上热毛巾和芒果汁，有人主动帮忙搬送行李，再到走进房间，眼前一亮，打开手机，免费联上wifi时，激动之情便难以言喻了。只是，酒店禁止吸烟，不仅只是酒店大堂等公共区域，所有房间都禁止抽烟。烟瘾难耐的蟋蟀头不甘心，让我打电话到前台，询问何处可以抽烟。话筒那边的声音，礼貌且明确：请下楼，走出酒店大门。如此严格的禁烟，是我们意想不到的，更意想不到的是，酒店居然在门口设有安检，所有的行李都必须通过安检。当时虽觉奇怪，却并不太为意，只是在后来的行程中，才渐渐明了其中的原因所在。 D2（7-30）内罗毕——马赛马拉 早餐后，我们便径直驱车离开酒店，没有在内罗毕作任何停留，直接驶向马赛马拉。座落在使馆区的Crowne plaza，似乎位于市区之外，仅几分钟而已，我们便已远离内罗毕，行驶在两边是乡村或镇子的公路上。而内罗毕的真实面貌，尚未见识。 我们团队20人，共租了六辆面包车，每辆车3-4人。我和蟋蟀头、龙之杰三人一辆。刚上车坐稳，蟋蟀头便要我和司机说，带我们去买打火机。司机约瑟夫Joseph一口答应。一边开车，一边回过头说道：“no problem.” 刹车没踩，车速没减，还回过头来说话，他这个举动吓坏了我，赶紧说道：“别转头，别转头！”我的话音刚落，约瑟夫又把头转了回来，举着手里的香烟告诉我们，“车里可以吸烟”。他这句话让蟋蟀头和龙之杰高兴不已，赶紧给约瑟夫递过去一支烟。因为，在这之前，我们的导游再三告诫，肯尼亚很多地方不能随便吸烟，比如公共场所、草原、车上。但刚出发，就有这样的破例，两个烟鬼当然兴奋不已。他俩兴奋，我却有另外的担忧。约瑟夫开车时只要说话，必定回头，这习惯令我最初非常担心行驶的安全问。但实际上，我当然是多虑了。黑人司机的脑袋后面似乎还长了另一双眼睛似的，他们即使回头说话，也能灵活地与对面的车辆擦肩而过。 9点过，我们途中的第一次停车，杜导说，东非大裂谷到了。东非大裂谷，这条长度相当于地球周长1/6的大裂谷，是大陆上最大的断裂带。深陷的地沟，犹如地球的一道巨大伤疤。位于肯尼亚的裂谷，只是东非大裂谷的一部分。在裂谷地带，发现了距今已经有350万年的“能人”（从猿到人过渡阶段的人）遗骨，诸多考古发现证明东非大裂谷是人类文明最古老的发源地之一。在人类起源问上，很多科学家支持“非洲起源说”，即目前生活在世界各地的现代人类的祖先在大约20万年前起源于非洲，然后在距今10万年以内离开非洲，向亚洲和欧洲扩散。我们其实都是非洲后裔，你相信吗？maybe。但眼前的大裂谷，因为角度问，并不能让我们感受到视觉上的震撼。眼见不一定为实，便是这个道理。在大裂谷观景点，蟋蟀头的最大收获，可能便是买到的两盒火柴。观景点旁边一个木雕礼品店，我问售货员是否有打火机出售？他摇头，然后从袋中掏出1盒火柴。我点点头，“这个也行。” 售价1美元，没有讨价还价。想再问他多买一盒，他跑去另一个房间，对另一个人叽叽咕咕一阵后，那个人不知从什么角落里又翻出一盒火柴。火柴难道是这里的稀缺货？我有点不明白。后来问约瑟夫，为何他们不卖打火机，只有火柴？他回答，因为打火机的气有伤身体，所以人们不爱用。真是这样吗？我半信半疑。 再一次停车时，正值中午时分，我们停在一家酒店午餐。下了车，男人们除了抽烟，便是纷纷抢着与黑人兄弟合影。他们的心思谁都明白，无非是想彰显一下自己的皮肤有多白。蟋蟀头之前一直说自己晒得太黑，现在他终于心理平衡了。不仅不黑，而且看起来似乎太白了。 我们的司机约瑟夫，英语说得比我溜。在曾经是英国殖民地的肯尼亚，英语是官方语言，课本全部是英语写成。所以，只要上过学读过书的肯尼亚人，都会说一口流利英语，而且还是英式口语。非洲是一夫多妻制，所以我很好奇，约瑟夫娶了几个妻子。当他回答我，没有结婚时，我大为诧异。再问他年龄，他告诉我，他43了。听闻他已43岁还没有结婚，我表示不相信。他淡淡地笑着，“结过婚，但现在离了。”后来聊起他的生意时，他才说，7～10月是肯尼亚的旺季，他几乎天天开车在外；即使淡季的时候，也是隔一周外出一周，聚少离多，所以就离婚了，而且没有儿女。现在正和一个中国女孩交往中。约瑟夫的坦诚相告，让我了解到现在的肯尼亚，城市中的男人们迫于经济上的压力，一夫多妻在减少，这种现象也许在农村会更为普遍。 午餐是自助餐。实际上，我们在肯尼亚这一路上，在酒店都是自助餐，如果在草原上，就是酒店准备的餐盒。非洲的饮食比想像中好。午餐后，继续上路。路边的植物，开始变得奇奇怪怪。 初来乍到，沿途的所有风景都令我们感觉新鲜，即使车没有停留片刻，我们手中的相机快门也没停歇过。在通往马赛马拉的前半段路程时，约瑟夫并不干涉我们拍照，但后半段路经一些小镇时，他便严禁我们拍照，“NO photo!”他说归说，我们拍归拍，并不太理会他的干涉。但没想到，他神情更加严肃地阻止道：“这里不要拍照！如果你们再拍，街上的人会拿石子扔我们的。”一边说，他一边晃着右臂，做出扔石子的举动。我看着路边的人们，他们中的有些人在我们经过时还会向我们挥挥手。我很难想像，如果我拍他们，下一刻，他就会捡起石头攻击我们。但约瑟夫的严肃劲告诉我们，他不是在瞎编故事，他一定亲身经历过，他的车可能就被那些石子砸坏过。 越接近马赛马拉，灰尘越大。当车从公路转入土路时，灰尘已是铺天盖地，迎着车袭来。即使车窗全部摇紧，也丝毫无用，在剧烈的颠簸中，车窗很容易就被颠开一条缝，然后缝隙越来越大。车中，一股干燥而呛人的土味，弥散开来。我和蟋蟀头都戴上了口罩，但过不了太久，蟋蟀头还是把口罩摘到了一边，“太闷了，气也喘不过来的感觉”。约瑟夫果然不愧有15年的车龄，驾驶经验丰富，即使路烂到极点，车七摇八颠，他也几乎不减速。别小看他这辆破面包车，可是改装过的拥有四驱的面包车。真正是面包车的外型，越野车的本领。车虽然颠得厉害，但我们还是睡着了。待再醒来时，蟋蟀头抹了下嘴巴，伸手向我要水喝，“我得喝口水把嘴里的土给咽下去。”他这话，把我刚喝进嘴里的水，差点喷出来。待我们六辆车终于全部停下来，我们可以下车透下风喘口气时，周围已是一片清新。“快看，那边的一群羚羊！”不知谁叫了一声，所有人的相机都对准了不远处草地上的一小群羚羊 。这是我们在草原上第一次看到动物，难免兴奋。但在后面的几天，这样的羚羊随处可见时，大家也就习以为常了。毕竟，这是非洲大草原上最最常见的一种动物。 上车，继续向前。刚刚进入马赛马拉的我们，新鲜、好奇、兴奋。显然，斑马比我们淡定许多。七八月是马赛马拉的冬季，枯黄的草色，一片片地蔓延开来，羚羊开始随处可见。我们的车停在了马赛村的门口。这些身披红布，手执一根木棒的男人，便是传说中连野兽也怕的骁勇善战的马赛人。我拿着一袋给小朋友们准备的棒棒糖跳下车，谁知，刚下车，这袋棒棒糖就几乎被这些男人们瓜分干净。去非洲之前，在书中了解到，马赛人不爱拍照，因为他们担心拍照会带走他们的灵魂。所以，我对去马赛村拍照心有顾忌。但是，这已不是一般的马赛村了，它已经商业化。早已见惯了各类游客，再加上我的棒棒糖，这些马赛男人都很乐意与我合影一张，即使把他们人手不离的木棒借我一用也是无所谓。 要识别马赛男人很容易，因为他们的装束很醒目：两块红底黑条或红底黑格的布，一块扎在腰上遮羞，一块披在肩上。马赛男人之所以喜欢身披红布，其实是为了吓跑狮子等野兽，保护他们赖以生存的牛群。随着时代的变迁，这块传统的红布不再是单一的红底黑条，也变换出多种样式，出现了黑条、黄条、蓝条或者黄格、蓝格，唯一不变的就是大红的底色。蟋蟀头提出要披一下他们身上的那块红布，那个马赛人立马答应，把自己身上的披风解下来，给蟋蟀头围上，再系个结，就OK了，穿戴十分容易。 这个说一口流利英语的马赛男人叫Peter，我注意到，甚至于他的装束都与其他马赛男人不一样。Peter指着距离我们不远的一个小门说道：“请大家抓紧时间，赶紧过来吧，我们为你们准备了节目。”那个用树枝扎起来的拱形小门便是马赛村的入口，低矮的入口与他们修长的身材完全不符。我们猜想是为防大型野兽进入才设计成这样的。参观马赛村并非免费，每人要收取35美元。这样一个自费项目让团队中的部分人有点犹豫不决，踌躇着是否要花200多人民币的门票去参观一个商业化的小村落。他们的犹而不决让Peter有点不耐烦了，大声地说道，“如果不参观村子，请不要再拍任何照片。”不能拍人，即使拍风景照也不行。最终，我们的团队一分为二，一部分去参观马赛村，另一部分则直接去酒店。关于值得不值得，每个人的心里都有把秤，且准不一，难以评判。我只是认为，既然已到了别人家门口了，人都站门口欢迎我们了，那就去吧，就算是一种礼仪。门票，就算是我们登门拜访的一点礼金而已。去亲朋好友家串门做客，我们还得拎点东西了，去别人村里作客送点礼品更是无可厚非。最重要的是，即使这已是一个对游客开放的马赛村，它也还是马赛村，是马赛人自己的家，而非一个临时搭建起来供游客参观的人工景点。跟着Peter进了马赛村。过那道拱门时，身材矮小如我，也得弯腰才能进入。村不大，零落地散着一些土坯砌成的房屋。低矮的土屋，与马赛人的身高同样不匹配。待我们一一进入，十几个马赛男人已经排成一排，准备为我们跳“勇士之舞”。“勇士之舞”是马赛男人的传统舞蹈，在他们的哼唱中，一个接一个的马赛人开始立定跳高，跳完一轮，再来一轮。除了绷紧小腿，笔直地往上跳，勇士之舞没有更多动作，手上也不需要多余的比划，只要尽可能地跳得高些就行。这真是我所见过的最简单的舞蹈。但其实，跳得高，跑得快，历来就是马赛人对勇士的认定准，这其实也与他们的游牧习性相关。（拍摄者：蟋蟀头） 跳完舞，Peter开始为我们介绍他们的村庄。Peter说，收来的门票钱是为六个村子的100多个孩子筹建学校而用。得知我们每人交的35美元将用来建学校时，我心里顿时宽慰了许多。我问Peter，他为何会说英语？因为在我的想法里，以游牧为生的马赛部落，遵循传统生活方式的马赛人，一口流利的英语，似乎与他们完全沾不上边。Peter告诉我，他上过学。他竟然上过学？我有点吃惊。再问，村里有多少人上过学时，他平静地说道：“两个人。”另一个人，便是他的弟弟。“你是村长吗？”我问。能有这样特殊待遇的人，在我看来，必定是特权阶层。“NO。my father is chief.” 原来，他是酋长的儿子。Peter很得意地告诉我，他有10个老婆？十个老婆？！太让人吃惊了，他怎么顾得过来？“你结婚了吗？”这次轮到他向我提问了。“结婚了。”我指了指正在拍照的蟋蟀头。“不过，他只有我一个老婆。”我补充道。“你老婆向我提了这么多问，看来她爱上我了。要不，你把她让给我吧！”Peter开玩笑地和蟋蟀头说道。“NO。”蟋蟀头摇着头答道。但后来，他后悔了，和我说，“我应该假装答应他，再看他打算用多少头牛来换你，你就知道你值多少头牛了！”他刚一说完，便被我狠狠地掐了一下。不过，以畜牧为生的马赛人，的确是用牲畜作为娶亲的聘礼，据说十头牛就可以娶一个老婆。 接下来，Peter就要带我们进屋去参观了。马赛人的房屋用泥土和牛龚搭建而成，屋顶则用茅草盖上。在马赛娶老婆，男人不用担心房子问，因为房屋都由老婆搭建，一个老婆一个屋子。门很小，依然只能弯腰进去。进去后是厅，除了一股难闻的骚味，小小的厅里什么也没有。如果要坐下来，对着门，靠墙的一侧有一条砌高的土堆，可以当沙发一用。而这难闻的味道，则来自牲畜。因为牲畜是马赛人的财产，有时晚上会让牛羊进屋，以防被野兽偷袭。所以，马赛人的房屋实际上是人畜共用，有股怪味也就在所难免了。侧面有个更小的门洞，钻进去，再向左转个弯，便是卧室了。这样的内部构造，其实是防止野兽或者敌人的贸然闯入。卧室小得可怜。靠右的地上用土稍微砌高点，再铺一些布，就是他们的床了。我有一个疑问，马赛人这么高的个子，这么短的床，岂不是从来都不能伸直腿睡觉？距离床边不到一米远的土灶，便是他们煮饭的地方。而墙上那个透着光亮的小洞，则是窗户。在我看来，说是窗户实在太不贴切，怎么看也只能说是个窗洞。在屋里生火煮东西，却只有这么小的两个窗孔换气，人住里面岂不要闷死？灯呢？屋里黑漆漆的一片，他们晚上用什么照明呢？杜导的解释是，马赛人的生活是日出而作，日落而息，天黑就睡觉了，根本用不着点灯。家徒四壁，马赛人的房屋真是把这个词解释得再透彻不过。（拍摄者：蟋蟀头）几个人挤在屋里，没呆多久，已觉缺氧，再加上屋内气味奇怪，我必须得出去透口气了。一出来，迎面便撞上一气质不凡的老者，他便是Peter的父亲——酋长大人。蟋蟀头按中国人的见面规矩，赶紧递上一支烟。老酋长把烟接过来，微笑不语。虽然他不会英语，我们无法更多交流，但老酋长的确是给人一种大家长的感觉。 令人惊讶的是，马赛人至今沿袭万年前钻木取火的传统。两个人搭手。把一束枯草杆垫在地上，草杆上再放一个带孔的木块，一人用手按紧这个木块，不让它移动。另一人则用一根木棍穿过木块的孔眼，并两手合掌转动木棍。18秒的时候，开始有烟冒出，不到30秒，那束枯草杆已有些许火星。马赛人便把木棍和木块拿开，用手捧着枯草杆，用嘴对着火星开始吹。烟雾越来越大，直至那束枯草杆燃起了红色的火苗。钻木取火成功，全过程仅1分钟15秒。但我永远是那个“为什么小姐”，从小到大都是如此。我从蟋蟀头那里拿来一盒火柴，问Peter，“你们为何不用火柴呢？这个更方便快捷。”说完，我掏出一根火柴，准备示范给他看，让他知道现代文明的厉害。哪知，第一根火柴竟然没划燃；换一根火柴，不行；再换一根。连换几根火柴后，Peter笑了，我却万分沮丧，并且无从解释。也许，是神不想破坏马赛人对钻木取火的执着吧，想借马赛人将这古老的传统保持下去，以告诉后人，我们人类曾经用这样的方式取火。令人啼笑皆非的是，随后Peter拿了一个带孔的木块问我，要不要买？而且开价不菲。 接着，女人们终于登场，为我们表演唱歌。与马赛男人相比，女人的穿着就色彩丰富许多，而且身形相对肥胖，不知这是否与生育有关。 一夫多妻，全世界男人的梦想。不能一夫多妻，但至少可以与老婆们合个影。男队友们都纷纷跑过去与马赛女人合影，领队清静跑得最快，顺利拔得头筹，75次之，飞翔第三。只是，老婆们却越来越少。可怜的蟋蟀头，轮到他时，只剩三个马赛女人了。但他还是很开心，跟着马赛女人一起边唱边扭。她们唱的是马赛语，可蟋蟀头，你唱的又是什么呢？虽然是第四个上场，但明显他很受马赛女人的欢迎，一起唱歌，还一边有所交流。只是，你们在说什么呢？ 唱完几曲后，马赛女人们散去，Peter要继续带我们去参观。他指着房屋后面草地上围成半圆形的货摊说，“This is our market.”货摊上的东西无非是一些手链、项链和木制工艺品。Peter指着手链和项链告诉我说：“这些都是我们村里的女人做的。”然后指着木雕说，“这些都是我们男人做的。”“卖这些东西的收入也将用来建我们的学校。”看着这些做工粗糙，且大同小异的商品，这一次，我却有点怀疑了。真的是自己做的？真的会把钱用来建学校？无论如何，读过书的Peter已经不再是一个原始的马赛人了，也许，在他的意识里，早已植入了市场经济。不过后来再想想，即使这些收入不是用来建学校，而是用来改善他们的生活，也未尝不可。毕竟，他们的生活环境，真的不咋样。而事实上，随着时代的发展，旅游业的兴起，放牧早已不再是他们唯一的谋生手段。旅游收入，已经成为这些村庄重要的收入来源。([]

黄嘉慧前言：如果你要问我去越南有什么建议，那我就只告诉你一句：打死都不要春节去越南！当然，前提是你跟我一样希望穷游越南还想比较舒适享受下北方冬季，而南方热烈的阳光沙滩；要是您真要打死我，那我肯定选择去越南，即便这个时节简直让人抓狂。如果您说自己就是大爷，有的就是钱，那没问，在哪钱都可以解决一切问。所以，我出错误的前提是我没有做好功课，我参考的攻略都不是春节版本的，周围曾经去越南的人也不是春节去的，所以去了才明白，如果要当冤大头或者二傻，那也最好当个有技术含量的，我属于没有技术含量的二傻，据说网络上大把资料，我愣是因为走前工作上学等等缘由，加之自己懒惰，没有仔细调查，更恶心的是基本英语盲的我决然带着完全英语盲的老老小小去越南折腾，就此批评自己250遍！痛斥自己抱着两年前做的攻略当这世间不会变化，就此鄙视自己250遍！在群众批评加自我批评之后我就此开始解说so crazy的越南之行。 留待编辑1.一只渔船正要离开北仑桥边·芒街2.下龙湾溶洞里蓝色的灯光3.河内总统府一撇4.初一早上的还剑湖5.河内圣约瑟教堂6.顺化香江边闲坐的与走过大桥的越南人顺化街头绘画7.早晨走过香河的越南人8.惆怅的皇城10.美山遗迹里的残像11.一个有点嬉皮的女子走过美山遗址，她的衣着很有希腊古风。遗址里一只彩色蜥蜴在草丛里警觉地凝视着我，我们这些游客闯入了它的家。12.会安古城画店的一角13.大勒艳阳下的鲜花15，前往美奈途中，天空绚烂的光线16.如同电影场景一般的美奈海滩17。被称为小科罗拉多的精灵峡谷18。惊叹红沙清溪的游人们19.美奈渔村，一个坐在摩托车后面的孩子。在越南，摩托车是最方便的交通工具。20.红峡谷里干枯的植物21。临近傍晚美奈的白沙丘24。美奈早晨收网的渔民们25.26.胡志明市政厅，有人说这是个很像蛋糕的华丽建筑。27.午后，一个西方人走过西贡歌剧院，如果不是越南国旗，会以为这是欧洲某处28.越南最大的邮政局，也是建造最长时间的邮政局，这个穹顶让很多人慕名前来29.一个人走过斜阳下的西贡圣母大教堂。30.越南信奉天主教的人口很多，在东南亚信教人数比例位居第二。32.西贡街头开朗的学生们33.湄公河一处悠闲的吊床34.湄公河上撑船的女人1. 广西 春节北方飞南宁的机票基本没折扣，所以要提前订，不然价格还是很咋舌。证可以提前交给南宁赵书店（电话：13307714232）办理，证费300，收手续费30一本。这个是朋友介绍的，只要先把护照寄给他，等去了南宁再一手交钱一手拿护照。2.9日抵达南宁的时候，地面温度31，与本地0度左右简直相差太远，直接的感觉就是穿太多，即使我们出发之前已经将服装减少到基本。南宁，这个城市我分外想念它的老友粉，酸菜那种酸酸略带点臭味的汤粉味，甚至立刻口水就涌了上来。记忆里曾经住过的地方离市中心很近，离中山路很近，所以跟小叶子要了以前住过的招待所的电话，住下来才发现，对面新开了一个快捷酒店，可以住得更舒服，好在只是一个晚上，也就罢了。为此，我被家人鄙视了好久。当然，我又因为多次记错方向让我的双皮奶之旅推延了很久，当然最终我还是如愿以偿吃到老友粉和双皮奶，只是再次证明期望越大失望越大，我渴望的老友粉味道似乎淡很多，哎，哎，哎~~~~~~~~~有点厉害吧，我一下吃了两碗，还把家人的其他甜点也抓来吃了。中山路小吃一条街真是好地方，泡菜泡水果都还在，就是买凉茶的没看见了。欧记烤鱼没有了，听小叶子说这里曾经失火过，后来有几家老店就没在这边做了。2.10如果想要一天就从南宁抵达下龙湾，那么你得早点起床，或者等待一个越南境内道路畅通的日子。早上南宁街头的卷粉摊老友粉店都是老式的操作方式，门口买牌子，把自己的牌子放在里面一块刻着数字的木板上排号，听见叫就去自取。早晨，取得护照的时候已经是九点多了，十点从南宁出发到东兴，这段路程需要三个小时左右，之后，下车站有很多小小的外观如同我们这边观光游览车一样的小车可以载客到关口，一人两元。南宁车站的人流还不是特别多，比起07年春节那次，显然我提前几天走好多了，还不是人流最高峰。选择从东兴走时因为看地图不想绕路，如此而已。不过当时如果选择凭祥或许就不会显得出门不利了吧。 到东兴已经过了午饭时间，一下长途车就有很多外貌像汽车其实三轮的，又是长条板凳的车子可以拉你去海关。本准备在这里吃点什么，拉客的人说，那边也有吃的。好吧，早过关。（3元一个人，我们一家10元做小车拉到关口。）东兴过关的时候居然还要买票，10元一个人！简直让我咂舌，怎么国人也搞这套，我以为只有越南索贿，没想到这里海关还收费！没听说其他关口有收这个费用的。所以，当越南海关人员以我们没有健康证为由索取钱财的时候，我开始公然还价，从友谊关过，据说不会有这样的事情吧，因为听说早就取消了健康证这个说法了。最后以100元4个人的代价进行下一步，继续，到第四步验行李的时候，因为我们没有把钱分开放，又说我们带的钱超过限额，索要我们两百元，这回我坚决不给，那个海关假装听不懂中文或者英文，反正我几乎吵架，就是不给，无奈之下，那个海关人员放我们过关，社会主义国家啊！据说朝鲜也是如此，在接受经济冲击的时候，人常常就变得无耻了，我很庆幸自己还没有无耻，虽然我也很想有钱。越南入境表上三联,都必须填好,交给越南海关后,退回一联,要保存好,等回国出境时要查看,据说弄丢要被罚款!我们回国飞机就收回去了!过关，过来之前，听说芒街到下龙湾的路在修，原本五小时的山路，现在要多花一倍的时间，按我们过去两点，最快到下龙也要十点，不如选客轮，又一次打乱我的计划，当初做攻略，根本没有查到轮船的信息，只是知道船票是车票的五倍，太恐怖了，鉴于小丫晕车，还是选择客轮比较好。出来，没有要关口的摩托，想寻找个地方吃午餐，没料到这个时间过关基本没游客，也居然没有吃的，直到在TRAN PHU ST.找到一家面包店，询问邮局对面换汇的情况，老板立刻说：“你们看书的吧！已经过时啦，你们到旁边巷子里的市场里，全市是换汇的，你们跟她们说中国钱换越南钱，她们听得懂。往里走一些，到里面换，不要背大包了，不然一看你们就是旅行的。”根据老板的提示，很容易就找到这个市场，看着几排密密麻麻坐在矮炕上的女人们，守着一个钱箱，有的先进点的有验钞机，面前都是一打一打的钞票，场面相当地雷人，仿佛内地菜市场，区别是这里是换汇，内地是买菜。当然，我们换汇还是比边民少3个点，他们2.83,我们要2.8。最外面比最里面少一个点，跟我们要2.79。初始，我考虑各地汇率不同，只换了2000人民币，后来发觉后悔则个，换汇最好是在国内换大把美金，留少量人民币换越南盾，这样最划得来。回到面包店，老板似乎带着些解释的意味说，只是几角钱，也就不要在意了。还好，这个心态还是有的，不然那些妇女们靠什么赚钱，如果不在这里换，到银行应该就更少了，市场总是这样形成的，有它存在的原因。多次询问卖船票的地方，答案总是很模糊，大多都说快过年了，不晓得还有船没有。等找到卖船票的地方，已经关门，此时再坐车太辛苦，不符合本次出行FB的宗旨，干脆在卖船票旁边一家店住下来。头一天，因为换算汇率把自己弄得有点稀里糊涂，整了n久才发觉我整整少算一个零，所以怎么都觉得价格不对啊！所以等住下后才完全清醒，原来我们的三人间基本是10美金多一点，200千越南盾。亏我还是做财务的，显然又一次证明我根本不合适跟数字打交道，可惜当初我无比傻B地选择了财务，仅仅因为日后职称问不需要找人，只用考试，不用麻烦人际关系。看来虽然与数字打交道是我的弱项，与人交往更是我一大恐惧。七整八整，午饭还没上嘴，休息少许，抵不住饥肠辘辘，早早就出去，边晃荡边找吃的，顺着北仑桥，居然找到一家全部是中文菜名的饭店，坐下，饭菜一点不便宜，中国人不宰中国人宰谁啊，第一天么，认了吧。北仑桥，此刻已经感觉到摩托车比较多，日后才发觉这里算是非常清静的。路边一家估计是宾馆的地方，已经有着不一样的异国风味。想起以后可能会看见更多法式风格吧。吃饭的地方还做了小装饰，当时夫用人民币付款，这点让他以为日后能在越南通用，以致到后来被我狂笑话：你当rmb是美元啊！下午的北仑桥边，晚霞上的很早，天气好得一塌糊涂，家里的朋友发消息来说下大雪，冷空气让人们窝家中打游戏或者打麻将，而我们在这里享受阳光，真好。散步回旅店，没有去找教堂，忽然发觉第一天在越南竟然这么无所事事，不知该干什么。芒街的一个街心公园，不大，在北仑桥下。从此，就可以一路看见社会主义特色的语牌啦！这是越南***建党80周年的纪念。花费： 人民币：南宁~东兴 60+2/人；出关100；晚餐，三菜一汤，两瓶啤酒 100 越南盾 住宿：200千暮色出现的时候我们说了一个船家，只有这个船有人，以45美金四个人谈了四小时的船上游览，他们说带我们去一个洞，一个岛，中午回来，这个价格不包含午餐，没有岛的门票。想想四小时中午一两点也回来了，就不要午餐了吧，在餐馆吃应该比船上吃好吧。后来才明白我们大错特错了。这个房子真好看，如同别墅一样。看来越南人民还是挺有钱的。 里面有条大狗，吓我一跳，本来还想探头看看，给吓回来了。傍晚人都出来了。还有坚持跑步的鬼佬。不过大多是老年人。夜晚点了花蟹，壳很薄，肉很多，但是价格不便宜。好像400千两只。攻略上也是这么说，下龙湾的海鲜不便宜。不过夫似乎很坚持要把行程搞得FB点。下龙湾有个夜市，很多小摊贩，密密麻麻摆了很多工艺品，从邮局出来往拜塞桥相反的方向走，一路都开发很厉害了，很多高档酒店，沿海这边的娱乐设施似乎是一个叫广南公司的开发的，听着名字就像是国内来越南做开发，之后接着赚中国人钱的。一路倒是规划得有点意思，沿着海岸做了许多小建筑，餐厅，咖啡馆，迪吧等等。我正说着，搞不好是中国人出来赚中国人钱的时候，找到了一块牌子上面是下龙湾海边规划。看着那个公司的名字一下笑了，显然是国内过来，在这里注册的。（夜市上的物品之一）路边很多餐馆都是写着中文招牌，不过里面的菜单上中文菜价要比越文菜价贵十元左右。对比之后，照着越文的点。在下龙湾人民币通用，很多人说中文，不过背包客聚集区说中文的还是没有饭店商店说的人多。我看很多都是中国人在这里做事。与夫单独出来散步，这会有点累就在路边闲坐，点了啤酒就蛤蜊闲聊，说这样也算搞浪漫，似乎这样老了牵手走路也会感觉靠谱。小饭店的女人很妖艳，跟两个鬼佬眉来眼去，似乎留了电话什么的。我跟夫则看着路人，然后我每每都能很正确指出中国人，特别是一大帮如旅行团的基本都是国人。于是后来一大帮人准备宵夜的时候，这个妖艳女子站起来喊：中国老板，这边来这边来。。。。。让我跟夫笑喷。其实沿海这里很冷清，只有一家慢摇吧挤满当地小年轻们。门口这个小摩托很有意思。可能是节前一天，游客很少，本地人也要过节，夜晚的下龙湾很安静，不知道喧嚣的时候是什么样子。以前的殖民总督住的地方作为办公楼了，而胡志明故居很简单，倒是明黄的房子在绿树下，很舒服。 楼下会客厅([]
