长生刀，惊鸿剑

我有些照片想和大家分享交流一下.我在2009年花了五个月一个星期的时间从乔治亚州的SPRINGER MT.背包徒步到缅因州的MT. KATAHDIN.完成全程共2,178英里, 或3,500公里, 越过十四个州.我拍了4,500多张的照片, 主要做个实地记录.因为东西太多, 人太懒, 除了原始每天的起末点外, 没作任何笔录, 所以文字说明就免了.但每个文件名都有日期和地点的对应.不过抱歉它们都是英文的.因图片储存的服务器在异地, 如果网络连接效果不好, 我也不打算再在这里上载了.若有问或高见, 我以后再一一回答和请教.2009 美国阿帕拉契亚小道直通背包徒步另外, 我还有其它几个影集顺便一起附上.希望不使大家失望. 我忘了附上一张全程示意图.我一直忙着科罗拉多小道，把先发的帖子给忘了。雨天看窗服！这么长距离开车都觉得累-是的，当我做完的时候，人非常的累。我的体重掉了20多斤，回去后3个星期里，走起路来浑身疼。雨天看窗下次可以end2end洛基山脉 -给你猜对了一半。方向大概一样，地点可能稍有不同，但资金是关键。大东从“科罗拉多小道”找过来的，稍后慢慢再看。谢谢分享！-这过程太长，同时既然要做，就要比上次做的好。我恐怕在最近的将来找不出时间来完成。我最近把2009年背包徒步的原始照片又重新看了一遍，对其中一些具有代表性和我喜欢的作了处理，上载到8264我的相册里。现在觉得手上有点时间，而且以前几位8264的朋友鼓励我将编辑出以与大家分享。我原本在徒步时并没有任何要发表游记或功略的打算，只是想尽可能多地记录下自己所经历过的，所看到的一切，给自己以后一个回忆的依据。在背包徒步中，由于前后时间太长，即使后来比较好的景色很快地便成了所谓的"审美疲劳";的产品，再加上按时完成旅途的压力，和天气等的原因，相当多的日子里，照片不是被疏忽了，便是寥寥无几。我的笔录除了每天的所到之处外，几乎没有任何其它的记录。我所能叙述的都靠回忆了，并且这也不是我的擅长。敬请谅解。阿帕拉契亚小道的全称为阿帕拉契亚山国家景观小道。它座落在美国大陆的东部，以乔治亚州的Springer Mountain为南端起点，贯穿14个州，直到在缅因州的北端终点，Mount Katahdin。小道全长约2181英里(3510公里，2011年更新)，通过乔治亚州，北卡罗来纳州，田纳西州，韦吉利亚州，西韦吉利亚州，马里兰州，宾夕法尼亚州，新泽西州，纽约州，康奈迪克州，麻萨诸塞州，佛蒙特州，新汉普什尔州，和缅因州。阿帕拉契亚小道。阿帕拉契亚小道以相同的平面比例覆盖在中国地图上。阿帕拉契亚小道沿线的主要城市。这个基本由人类设想，人工刻意开辟的小道现由30个左右，当地小道俱乐部来维护，并受国家公园事务处(National Park Service)，和非盈利性组织，阿帕拉契亚小道保护协会(Appalachian Trail Conservancy)的管理。其中参预的人员大部为自愿者。平时运作的资金来源于国家的预算，非盈利性经营，和各种捐款等。阿帕拉契亚小道最初在上个世纪的二十年代由几位先贤设想，与无数的参预者一起，克服重重困难，在短短的十几年中建成了绵延数千公里的贯通小道。小道的地势呈两端高耸，且较荒芜。而中段却与人类的居住与文明非常的接近。其最高点在北卡罗来纳州与田纳西州州界上的Clingmans Dome，6643英尺(或海拔2025米)；最低处在纽约州的哈得逊河旁的熊山动物园内，只有124英尺(或海拔38米)。小道可以处在半径几百英里人烟罕见之地；也可以离纽约市只有34英里。小道沿线的植物种类繁多，温带的不说，阿尔卑斯型的高山，甚至所谓北极圈内型的植被都能见到。动物包括熊，郊狼，鹿，麋鹿，短尾山猫，猞狸，森林响尾蛇，等等。阿帕拉契亚小道的平面方向记为一白色的，5x15cm的漆印。一般在小道两侧的树上，面对南面和北面两个方向。沿线有共有250个左右的临时居住木屋，和营地，其中极少数是要付费的；而在此之外，更多的则是任意和免费的空间，只要符合管理当局的规定和遵守一般的露营常识就可以了。除去北端的一些地区外，大部分的小道均与道路交通线相交，走全线的背包徒步者大概隔每三，四天就可以由此进市镇去休息整理，补充给养等。这个小道原本的思路不是为了徒步者一个季节，一次走完。但"贯通型"的徒步却被视为最终极的方式。由于地理，气候，伤病，和时间等的原因，使得能在一个季度里完成全程3500公里的背包徒步成为非常的困难。在上个世纪，从起点登记上路的统计算起，通常完成全程的人只有10~15%。但在2000年以后，此成功率达到近30%左右。可能是由于网络媒介的传播发展，背包徒步的资料充足，及装备理念的更新导致了这种现象。一般一个徒步者要花上4~6个月左右的时间走完全程。基于开始时间和地点的不同，徒步者的行进方向可分为从南向北，或由北朝南，或分段跳跃似的，或从中间向两头去，或从两头往中间走。启程晚的徒步者在后期阶段，面临的可能已经是大雪覆盖地面的冬天了。阿帕拉契亚小道保护协会(Appalachian Trail Conservancy)对完成3500公里的阿帕拉契亚小道全程的背包徒步者作出统计，无论他们是一年内做完，还是分十年，二十年做完。背包徒步者必须要基于个人的诚信，如实地向其协会提出申请。从有史记载以来一共有一万两千多人完成了全程的徒步，包括一人完成多次的，一人分若干年完成的。。。我所知道的Warren Doyle16次走完全程，还有其他很多走完多次的人。我本人用了五个月另一个星期从开始到结束，包括相对长时回家处理事务和生病的时间。全世界从1936年起至今完成全程3500公里徒步人的总数，共一万两千多人(次?)。我名字在2009年完成全程3500公里徒步人的名单上。倒数第六。2009年4月29日当日起点 North Plainfield, NJ次日终点 Gainesville, GA距旅途终点Mt. Katahdin 2178.3 英哩里程数 0.0 英哩 (0.0 公里)天气多云到阴一个星期前，我离开了工作岗位。我是主动提出辞职的，但名字依然挂在公司花名册那里。这主要是公司的管理部门给我一个面子；我也希望公司能不能给予我一个回来，和内部转行的机会。现在一切都已明了，这次背包徒步是一次性的，在经济困难时期，既然出去了，就不可能再回来了。我租的房子合同在月底停止，所有的东西搬进了储藏室。我离家前所有的家当，和一颗执着不变的心。此时已经没有退路了!我的好友，Matt送我到他居住小镇，Fanwood的车站去。我把我的车子停放在他的家庭车道上。我在那儿搭乘NJ Transit火车到纽瓦克的Penn Station。2009年4月30日当日起点 Springer Mountain, GA, AT M. P. 0.01当日终点 Sassafras Mountain, GA, AT M. P. 11.2 距旅途终点Mt. Katahdin 2167.1 英哩(3486.9 公里)里程数 11.2 英哩 (18.0 公里)天气多云到阴图中两红点之间为我今天所走的路程。我于2009年4月29日下午离开了纽瓦克的Penn Station，搭上南行的Amtrak火车，经过16个小时的缓慢行驶，于第二天的早上7点左右到达了位于乔治亚州的Gainesville。我走之前与那里的一个运载背包徒步者的人，Dave联系好，付钱让他把我送到离小道南边终端两英里的一个垭口。我从那儿再返回向南端，正式开始这3500公里的徒步。我在垭口停车场旁的留影，两小时后我从最南端开始徒步，又重新回到此地，向北行进。从我此时的体型上可以看出多年办公室生活的痕迹，虽并不太差，但与我在结束时相比，却有着很大的区别。向南的阿帕拉契亚小道。此段我要走两次。因为我若直接上最南端，要经过一段8英里的爬升，因上路晚，时间紧，所以多花点钱，让Dave把我送到更容易些开始徒步的公路旁。Springer Mountain，乔治亚州，阿帕拉契亚小道的南端终点。向南看去，仍然是一片群山，但延伸到阿拉巴马州时，便成为丘陵与平原了。阿帕拉契亚小道南端终点的纪念铭牌。在石头上放着的是长途背包徒步者到册子，一般的情况下，藏在下面的石缝里，以避风雨。这个资料由当地的俱乐部收藏。我才到阿帕拉契亚小道的南端终点便遇见一位背包客。我们相互介绍自己，知道彼此也做同样的事情。他的名字叫，John，来自佛蒙特州。在以后的近十天里，我们在一起徒步，露营，和进城休息。他替我拍了这几张照片。我坐在阿帕拉契亚小道南端终点的纪念铭牌旁。我们遇见一位当地徒步俱乐部小道维护者。他的户外名字叫，"Many Sleeps"，年龄74岁了，晚上就在附近露营，直到休息日。他的主要任务为监测小道的状况，向徒步者提供各种信息，与政府管理机构联系沟通等。他是阿帕拉契亚小道社区的名人，真是老当益壮!这3500公里的直通背包徒步就这样地开始了，万里长征的第一步。我的基本信念是无论走多远，多么枯燥无味，走一步，就离终点少一步。没有太多可以去想的。在四月底，海拔高度1300米的山区已经看见树枝发芽了。但今后若干星期后在更高的高度上，季节似乎有所返回。小道旁的树干上清楚可见白色的方向记。我经过几乎一天的长途火车与汽车旅行，无法好好地休息，人现相当疲劳。以后的几个小时的路程，路况十分的良好，非常平整，上下起伏也很小。乔治亚州的小道给我的影响很好，主要是来自于当地徒步俱乐部的贡献。小道利用一个旧的山区简易公路。我在倒卧的树干补充了一些能量。我今天并没有与John约好一起徒步。这只是在途中两人相遇，我给他拍的照。他以后一段与我在一起的时间里用大卡车约翰，"Big Truck Johnny"的别名，直到他的女儿厌倦了父亲在外徒步"不顾家"的行为，给他起了个别名，"懒驴";。他告诉我他目前没有业务，有四个月的时间，想用背包徒步来减轻体重，但也想走完全程。我坦率地告诉他，这四个月的时间对他这样从没有背包徒步，体力不在最佳状况的人来讲很紧。他也同意走到哪儿就到哪儿。我从中午时分开始便开始听到山脚下连续的枪击声。我很早以前就知道，在这段小道附近的山下为美国陆军精锐的特种作战部队，Army Ranger，的基地或训练营地。估计蓝博属于此类。平民徒步者有时能在附近的小道上碰见路过的正在训练的士兵。我身旁的枪声连续了好几个小时，体现了一个军事大国的经济实力。我想这山叫，Hawk Mountain。陆军巡游兵的基地就在其下面。天虽然还不太晚，但我昨天的几乎一天的旅途使我感到相当的疲劳。与"大卡车约翰"，及另一个背包客聊过后，就在一个已经建立的营地上安营扎寨。而他们却继续前进，准备再走4个英里，在一个避难所过夜。我的吊床。它的特点是体积小，重量轻，但舒适程度差，空间小。我在天转热后便放弃使用它，而用普通落地帐篷。由于这里是野外，理论上有熊及其它动物的出现，所以食物袋要高悬在树枝上。夜里事与愿违，"大卡车约翰"第二天告诉我，半夜里一架Army Ranger的直升机进行空降训练，正好在他露营的小溪上空，探照灯把附近照个雪亮，徘徊不走，吓得他不轻，半天没有睡好觉。我这儿却什么都没有听见。夜里飘有零星小雨，还不能真正检验我的吊床防雨的功能。 2009年5月1日当日起点 Sassafras Mountain, GA, AT M. P. 11.2 当日终点 Woods Hole Shelter, GA, AT M. P. 27.0距旅途终点Mt. Katahdin 2151.3 英哩 (3461.4 公里)里程数 15.8 英哩 (25.4 公里)天气多云到阴图中两红点之间为我今天所走的路程。阿帕拉契亚小道经过许多国家和州立公园和保护地。这里的蓝岭与我后来见的蓝岭不知是否有关系。我一早离开营地，路过"大卡车约翰"的营地，他正好要开拔。于是我们聊了起来，因为明天就要暂时离开小道去补充给养，处理个人事宜，所以决定一起行走。我在小道上。乔治亚的平整地段，徒步起来的确相当舒适。小道就是沿着山脊，但并不是每个山头都去，而且放坡也很缓和。由于森林火灾，小道旁被烧毁的林子。沿着等高线或缓慢放坡的小道。由于土质的关系，走上去相当的舒服。来到Woody Gap，Woody垭口。回望走过的小道。在这个季节里，山区的水汽十分的充足，而且地表的温度相对较高。水汽在升入天空后，遇到冷空气，便形成降雨，这样的循环往复，造成雨天联绵不断。上午走过的群山。疲惫的"大卡车约翰"和我借着一个观景点，坐下休息。他一直夸赞我的体力比他好。我了解到他的祖上两辈均在纽约市作港口的引水员，有法国和德国的血统。而他现在为独立的承包商，住在佛蒙特州。我的自拍。大山虽然绝对海拔不高，但不断的上上下下，可以使人很疲惫。天空开始下起间断小雨。给才上路后不久的我一个心理上的小小冲击。在乔治亚州段的舒适的小道。雨过后，天空似乎在放晴。"大卡车约翰"和我在小道旁发现了一个营地。我们虽然知道避难所离这儿不太远，但大家都累了，懒得再多走几步，就决定在此搭营，明天上路也快。不过在后来取水的时候，我们俩还是去那避难所走了一趟，遇见了我在最后一天的徒步中仍然在一起的";萤火虫"，一个来自明尼苏达，但以前在佛罗里达工作的女孩。我在徒步的第二天与"萤火虫"相见，途中几千公里，我们碰到好多次，在最后的一天我们在北端终点见了最后一面。我们从没有相约一同背包徒步，因为她是个很独立的人，而且我个把星期以后就"单飞"了。他们以后也曾邀请我一同徒步，但被我谢绝了，我想要更多的自由和速度。"大卡车约翰"在建立他的营地。那么大的个子，却住在相当小的帐篷里，为减轻负重，但晚上肯定不舒服。我的吊床。夜里雷雨交加，闪电呈各种颜色，就在头顶很近的地方，我唯恐会被雷击。所以露宿在山顶上不是件好事。这个经验我永远记住，除非我确信天气，和风景特好。2009年5月2日当日起点 Woods Hole Shelter, GA, AT M. P. 27.0当日终点 US 19&129, Neels Gap, GA, AT M. P. 30.7距旅途终点Mt. Katahdin 2147.3 英哩 (3455.0 公里)里程数 3.7 英哩 (6.0 公里)天气阴今天的路程。昨晚的雷暴雨给我带来了两个在户外重要的信息。除非万不得已，天气不好的时候，特别在夏天，不要在山脊或山顶上露营，避免遭雷击；再是我的吊床，在风雨交加的时候，顶棚里面难免遭受雨水的侵袭，不是一个最佳的户外住所的选择。早上离开营地不久，便开始爬升。现在看来并没有什么，但当时经过几天辛苦的徒步，倒觉得挺吃力的。小道渐渐地上升，我可以看到Blood Mountain了。在接近Blood Mountain避难所前的一张多幅连拼。面对西面。"大卡车约翰"替我拍的。据他自己讲，他根本不会照相。我当时也的确担心没有结果。"大卡车约翰"。我拍摄的就大不相同，信心很高，哈。。Blood Mountain Shelter，一个几乎没有人敢在里面过夜的避难所。倒不是因为它有点陈旧，和失修，而是在它周围的故事传说。当年这一带居住着两个印第安人的部落联盟，以这里山脊为界。但不知为何引起双方的战事，彼此在此山头上争夺撕杀，弄得个血流遍地，这山头因此而得名。Blood Mountain两侧的景色。阳光透过云层，给我以短暂的希望。这里的有许多观景点。我感到有点兴奋，一生中很少看到过如此连绵起伏的群山。一张多幅连拼。"大卡车约翰"与我在此简短休息后，便下山，准备进城休息，补充给养了。在下山的途中我们赶上了"萤火虫"，她因为经验不足，鞋子选择不当，给她的脚带来巨大的麻烦。我在这几天内也尽我所能给"大卡车约翰""灌输"一些户外装备和背包徒步的小常识。他很感谢我，说我为他的老师。但他不久就琢磨出应该怎样做很多事了。我们下山后来到今天的小道徒步终点，一个垭口，Neels Gap；和所经的公路，US 19&129。这个垭口附近有个户外店。一般没有多少阿帕拉契亚小道长途背包徒步经验的人，经过几天的徒步，都会被建议或体会出，要在此更换或更新他们的装备。我与"大卡车约翰"说过，棉布的牛仔裤不能用于户外。他根据我的其它一些建议，将不必要的东西请那店帮忙寄回家去。在此之前，"大卡车约翰"与一个经营住宿的营地主联系好，让他开车过来接我们，其中包括至今一直独立行走的"萤火虫"。那户外店旁一个小客栈。我们嫌它过于简单，拥挤，而选择了较贵的木屋营地。我后来一直延用这样的做法，经过几天辛苦的跋涉，宁愿多花点钱，独自安稳的休息和恢复体力最要紧。负面的效应，钱包瘪下去地更快了。我以后若有这样的背包徒步，无论经济情况如何，我会选择这简单的客栈，因为可以见到更多类似于我这样的背包客，大家更容易彼此交流，联络感情。"萤火虫"与我与相互拍照。我在知道她的小道名以前，曾想过给她起个有中国味的，叫"豆芽菜"的名字，但后来很长时间没能见到她，无法告诉她。一个在大学学心理，后来从事于辅导不良少年工作的年轻女子。只听说她曾多次带那些少年进入户外的环境，想用自然的力量感化，纠正他们，因此自己也想多一些的户外经验。在等车来接我们去木屋营地。右边的是"萤火虫";；而前面打电话的是一个从事运输业的独立经营人，一个乔治亚州带有印第安人血统的人，"冰雹"。他选择了今晚呆在那个小客栈。被遗弃的徒步装备。可看出徒步者对它们的感情是如此的仇恨。木屋营地的主人，Bill终于把我们带到了独立的木屋。这里面有厨房，卫生间，客厅与饭厅，卧室连在一起。我们个人个占一间木屋，每晚。由于体力消耗很大，食物补充不很及时，我才进来时感到有点寒冷，但出乎我意料之外，屋里有暖气设施，室温不久就上去了。这木屋一般供短期度假，户外，及打猎等的家庭使用。他们可以在里面生火做饭，只要另付几块钱就可以了。应该说是经济实惠的。何况还是热水澡洗。我原本带了一套处理蛇咬的工具，但估计不会有太大的用场，就留在了这里。"大卡车约翰"的木屋。我们清理完毕后，准备请Bill开车把我们三人送到靠近的小城，Blairsville去就餐，和购买食物。";萤火虫"的屋子在山坡底下。Blairsville的超市，Ingles门口的停车场。那饮料看来是"大卡车约翰"最喜欢的。我们三人在购买晚徒步食品后，去了一家自助餐去改善下。"萤火虫"和"大卡车约翰"。饭饱后，我们走到市中心，给Bill打了个电话，等他来接我们。我们则闲着无聊，四处逛悠。当时在市中心有个旧车展。我买了一袋土豆片，大家分享一下。"萤火虫"和"大卡车约翰"。我，"Highway Man"与"大卡车约翰"。我的小道名望文生义的话，就有点不切了。我想这是Blairsville市的市政厅。我们回到了Bill的木屋营地，还有很多时间，便去他的接待厅看看电视，也好知道未来几天的天气。我以后在背包徒步中一直有这样的习惯，在市镇里歇脚时了解未来的天气，以掌握节奏和主动，直到最后太习惯于各种的恶劣天气，才不太介意了。([]

《寻找贡嘎最佳摄影点的八天七夜》[一] 既然无法逃脱，那就让我们走得更近一点！很多年以前，我第一次走在川西的大地上。新都桥傍晚的暮色中，我回头东望，赫然一排闪着银光的雪山漂浮在空中。我仍然记得，那时我恍惚的神情。后来，有人说，那就是贡嘎。那一年，是2007年。此后的每一年，那漂浮的雪山就一直萦绕着我。2008 年夏天的高尔寺垭口，我终于第一次把贡嘎的群山摄入了我的镜头。我清晰地记得，2008年夏天的早晨，高尔寺山垭口的晨雾中，远处那刺破苍穹的群峰。那一年，我知道，这就是贡嘎。2009年的夏天，川藏南线上留下了我十五天的足迹。这一年，我到了黑石山，找到了《中国国家地理》上那经典的贡嘎群山的摄影位置。《中国国家地理》的摄影师们给这里起了个神秘的名字：贡嘎黑石城。那一天，我也把云雾中的贡嘎群山收入了我的镜头。也就是在这一年，我对自己说：我要穿越贡嘎。也是在2009年，秋天。一次公差的机会让我重返了川西，我再一次来到了海螺沟，终于看到了蓝天下一览无余的贡嘎。可是，我至今仍然不知道，海螺沟冰川上的雪山是不是就是贡嘎的主峰？（查过一些资料，有说是，有说不是，希望8264上的高人给我一个明确的答案。）虽然在海螺沟看到的贡嘎是迄今为止我看到的最坦露的贡嘎，可我心不甘，毕竟那是海螺沟。2010年，我走了阿里大环线，贡嘎又一次留在了身后。记得在阿里的路上，我对我的朋友说：下一站是贡嘎。时间到了2011年，我却又一次把我一年中的唯一休假给了甘青川大环线，完成了我五年藏地的全部计划。可贡嘎，还是又一次虚无漂渺地漂浮在空中，漂浮在我的心头。所幸的是，2011年的十月金秋，在我甘青川大环线回来的三个月后，一个突然而至的机会完成了我多年的夙愿：拥抱贡嘎！五年以来，无论是在新都桥的暮色中，还是在塔公的草原；无论是在高尔寺山的垭口，还是在去居里寺的路上；无论是在二郎山的大渡河边，还是盘桓在剪子弯山；无论是在子梅垭口，还是在玉龙溪的泉华滩；145座5000米以上的雪峰簇拥着的贡嘎主峰，总会在你不经意间突然闯入你的视野。那种君临天下的气概，即便在几百公里之外，你都无法逃脱。既然是无法逃脱，那就让我们走得更近一点！ [二] 贡嘎的最佳摄影点既然是无法逃脱，那就让我们走得更近一点！一直以来，磨房上墨汁的经典贡嘎让一批批的驴友朝圣般地走向贡嘎，我也不例外。但我更欣赏《中国国家地理》摄影师们的严谨，那一幅幅精美的照片和照片背后的故事促使我在金秋的十月背起了行囊。我要找寻他们的足迹。八天七夜的时间里，我列了个单子，妄想把贡嘎的最佳摄影点一网打尽。贡嘎的最佳摄影点：1、子梅垭口2、子梅垭口去子梅村的盘山路上3、贡嘎寺4、泉华滩5、玉龙溪垭口（雅哈垭口）6、黑石山7、高尔寺山垭口8、牛背山而这其中，黑石山和高尔寺山垭口拍摄的贡嘎群峰已收录在了我2009年的镜头中；牛背山虽然在近几年让许多摄友蜂拥而至，但毕竟云雾莫测又远距离于主峰，我不想让有限的时间白白浪费，所以，这次的行程，我选择了前面五个摄影点。[三] 八天七夜的行程设计尽管是十月，一个欣赏川西秋色和贡嘎主峰美好的季节，但出发前的天气让我们忐忑不安，八天七夜的天气预报上尽是一个个阴沉的脸，这让我们的脸也一路阴沉沉的。为了确保能看到主峰，在行程的设计上，我们是三过子梅垭口，并且在子梅垭口下山后，走玉龙溪到甲根坝，这样的好处就是在几天的行走日子里，贡嘎主峰会一直跟随着我们。行程：D1新都桥D2新都桥—九龙D3九龙—伍须海—日鲁库草原—上木居—子梅垭口—上木居（一过子梅垭口看傍晚日照金山）D4上木居—子梅垭口—上子梅村—贡嘎寺（贡嘎主峰山脚）—上子梅村—子梅垭口—玉龙溪（早晨二过子梅垭口，傍晚三过子梅垭口）D5玉龙溪—泉华滩—玉龙溪垭口（雅哈垭口）—新都桥—康定D6康定—木格措—黄龙溪古镇D7黄龙溪古镇—成都D8成都宽窄子巷在以上的行程中，三过子梅垭口让我们终于看到了贡嘎那君临天下的气概和浩瀚的云海；而在泉华滩，我们找到了中国国家地理摄影师拍摄并入选《中国国家地理选美中国》贡嘎群峰的相片的位置，复制了一张几乎相同的相片。如果有人问我，八天七夜的日子里，哪些景色留下了最美的记忆？毫无疑问，那就是一路相随的贡嘎，尤其是在子梅垭口和垭口去上子梅村的盘山路上的贡嘎主峰以及泉华滩上拍摄的贡嘎群峰。当然，除了贡嘎，留给我们美好印象的还有在新都桥遇到的川西今年的第一场暴雪、伍须海的惊艳和新都桥甲根坝的秋色。。。而我们的故事，还得从第一晚新都桥不期而至的暴雪说起。。。 [四] 如果有一天，我老无所依，请把我埋藏在川西的秋天里故事暂且不表，先上几张沿途的PP解解馋。其实，到了新都桥的第一个晚上，川西下了一场暴雪，这也是川西今年的第一场大雪。这场暴雪是我们事先没有预料到的，最深处居然有50CM厚度。当时，我们都傻眼了，我们甚至害怕被困在新都桥，甚至萌发了改变行程的想法，因为我们不确定我们的越野车是否能安全地抵达贡嘎。所幸我们坚持了下来，而随后的一路美景让我们语无伦次：川西的秋色掩映在冬雪之中，片片金色映衬着雪白的世界；而雪后的贡嘎是那么纯净，天是那么湛蓝。感谢川西的暴雪，让我们在秋天的季节里看到了冬天的景致，看到了雪后的蜀山之王。当然，随之得出的结论就是：草人，人品真好！在一路的美景中，同行的耗子情不自禁地高歌：如果有一天，我老无所依，请把我埋在春天里！高反，让我这兄弟已分不清是春天还是秋天了。可是，这是秋天还是冬天呢？我也不知道。我只知道，如果有一天，我老去，请把我埋藏在川西，那是一件幸福的事情。子梅垭口仰望贡嘎主峰子梅垭口到上子梅村的盘山路上的马帮和贡嘎主峰旗云、主峰和牦牛旗云和主峰夕照下的贡嘎云海泉华滩——复制了一张中国国家地理摄影师拍摄的贡嘎群峰伍须海——惊艳的秋雾伍须海—秋天的色彩伍须海—雾松伍须海的松萝伍须海—秋天的邀请甲根坝的冬雪世界楼上的二位大姐大。到底是谁不带谁去啊？西湖的甘青川与我们同一时间却与我们背道而驰，之后又悠哉悠哉去了微笑的柬埔寨；茗禅在我们去甘青川时又一次冒充强驴穿越莲花湖到了贡嘎；抛下吾等三只懒驴，只好乖乖地不拖大姐大们的后腿孤独地在贡嘎自恋一番。还有楼上的本色兄，阿里回来之后，老是想起他那机关枪一样的声音：ISO200，光圈11，暴光减一档。。。估计玛多的惊魂不能让他停止继续前进的脚步。最可气的是成都那二妮子，在康定时，我和达华给她们打电话想让她俩赏给我们一杯成都的功夫茶以庆祝我们胜利穿越贡嘎，没想到她们却跑到九寨去了，害得我们只能在双流独自彷徨，达华甚至忧伤地唱起了：“哥哥找妹泪花流，不见阿妹心忧愁；一路一回头，只好流浪到双流；到了阿妹家门口，阿妹却在九寨沟”。沙德途中朋布西朋布西九龙秋色鸡丑山下人家，让我想起了亚丁和雨崩。日鲁库草原的水云海光影中的达华贡嘎云海藏族人家—拍摄于玉龙溪藏族妇女—拍摄于玉龙溪泉华滩—拍摄贡嘎群峰的绝佳之处贡嘎寺。贡嘎寺是欣赏贡嘎主峰的最佳位置，可惜云雾遮掩。冰河的前端就是主峰的山脚，也是登山大本营。玉龙溪雅哈垭口的贡嘎甲根坝的秋天新都桥—秋天的请柬瓦泽—秋天的倒影瓦泽—秋天的张力折多山木格措([]

加蓬伊根甲营地远景因所在公司外事中非洲加蓬国一块石油地震勘探项目，我和队友们于2008年9月8日，从北京国际机场离境飞往加蓬。公司营地建在让蒂尔市以北二百公里左右的半岛伊根甲的一块草原上。附近村庄的房子稀少都建在树林里，周围都是原始森林，与外界交通补给全部靠水路，交通和通讯都不方便，我们在岛上一待就是几个月，说生活不枯燥那是安慰自己的真实的谎言。勘探项目接近尾声时，大家有时间了就一起踢踢球、打打牌，自我调节一下。一般我们不与附近的村民打交道(包括踢足球)，以免造成不必要的麻烦。营地前面有一个大操场，等太阳西下时就可以抓紧时间在操场上踢球了，赤道国家的太阳都是很毒的。已经有一批队员回国，现在踢球的人不象以前那么多了。。。。啰嗦了半天该赶紧上图了。。。。走过路过麻烦您帮楼主加分顶贴下面的参选帖子猎人户外精彩自虐：负重穿越肖坑大峡谷（华东第一大峡谷）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1867379-1-1.html非常感谢回帖是美德准化营地鸟瞰。。。像不像部队演习时的临时营房? 海上施工的工作照为什么取名叫“少林足球”：因为大家在异国他乡生活久了，感觉就像和尚一样，修心养性，吃斋念佛；脱掉工作服赤膊上阵，在球场上撒欢一下，有的动作比较大，感觉就是在打斗而不是在踢足球。。。。精彩瞬间--门前解围精彩瞬间--门前混战精彩瞬间--拼抢精彩瞬间。。。。断球精彩瞬间--带球过人精彩瞬间--射门谁说赤脚的不怕穿鞋的 ([]

从贵州回来半个多月了，整整一个月的跋涉和游览，乘坐火车汽车一路奔波，经常忍不住在山清水秀的地方徒步旅行，总行程计10000公里，其中：乘坐火车里程8300公里，汽车里程约1400余公里，徒步里程约250余公里，还有市内交通若干。　　一个月中，看到得太多，想到得太多，得到得太多，一时难以品味和消化，以至于兴奋的情绪久久未能平静，迟迟无法安下心来写游记。可好多朋友天天追在后面催债，只好打起精神，努力成文。　　这次贵州旅行全是乘坐公共交通，在近一个月风雨兼程的旅途中和其后近两个月撰写游记的日子里，我一面欣赏贵州秀丽山水的旖旎风光和奇异民俗，一面努力寻找与其相关传的传奇典故和古今传说；一面踏访各地的文物古迹和红军长征的红色旅途，一面费力探寻其背后遗留的时代碎片和历史烽烟，希望让这个帖子不仅仅简单地展现一次旅游过程和几张美丽图片，更能告诉朋友们这些图片后面的传奇故事和厚重历史，使一篇游记在时空上有所突破，变得更有厚度，更有伸展性和可读性，让朋友们通过这篇帖子和我一样能了解更多，收获更多，也为自己在未来重读这篇帖子的时候，给自己留下更多的时空记忆，所以我给这篇游记起了个目就叫做：跟老山羊穿越时空游贵州——访旖旎风光奇异民俗后的传奇典故；寻文物古迹红色旅途上的历史烽烟希望大家都能喜欢。此次出行贵州部分行程如下图：　　出行时间：9月13日晚22点从沈阳出发，10月13日下午15点回到沈阳，正好一个月。具体行程及到达当地的时间为：　　沈阳（0913）—安顺（0916）—兴义（0918）—安龙（0921）—贞丰（0921）—黄果树（0922）—安顺（0922）—织金洞（0923）—贵阳（0923）—镇远古城（0924）—凯里（0925）—朗德（0926）—凯里（0926）—福泉（0927）—麻尾（0927）—大小七孔（0928）—三都（0928）—榕江（0929）—从江（0930）—肇兴（0930）—黎平（1001）—隆里（1001）—锦屏（1001）—三门塘（1002）—远口（1002）—天柱邦洞（1002）—贵阳（1003）—青岩古镇（1004）—南江大峡谷（1005）—开阳（1005）—遵义（1006）—仁怀（1006）—茅台（1007）—习水（1007）—大同古镇（1007）—大足（1010）—重庆（1011）—沈阳（1013）　　说起此次的贵州行，本来是去年的旅行计划，但去年8月份，当年和我一起走川藏的哥哥（参见我的帖子《兄弟写行走川藏》https//bbs.8264.com/thread-83145-1-1.html）突然发现罹患癌症，半年后竟不治身亡。　　在哥哥最后的日子里，我放弃了计划中的旅行，抛开了工作，一直在医院陪伴左右，亲眼看着原本天性乐观、身体健壮的哥哥受恶疾折磨，一点点失去生活的乐趣和生命的活力，体重从80多公斤在不到半年的时间里就瘦的皮包骨头，最后油尽灯枯，离我们而去，深深感受到在恶疾面前，渺小的人类那种无助和无奈。　　送走了哥哥，我更加体会到人生的短暂和脆弱，更应当保重身体，享受生活。正像我的一位朋友在今年中秋给我发的短诗所写：一年转眼又中秋，荏苒光阴似水流。把盏临风思爱友，隔窗对月寄情酬。人生短暂有终点，世事纷繁无尽头。莫让功名空误己，今宵不享待何求？　　哥哥生前，曾一直盼望我能尽快退休，希望我退休后能和他一起继续享受旅行全国的乐趣。可这一愿望，竟然终成遗憾！　　哥哥去世后，我跟嫂子要来了一直伴随哥哥旅行的佳能SD1400相机留作纪念，并承诺带着它继续今后的旅行生活，让相机代替哥哥观看和记录美丽的祖国山河。于是，今年9月，我带着哥哥遗留的相机，开始了筹划两年的贵州之行。　　为什么选择去贵州旅行？　　在全国众多的省份中，有几个是我从未涉足，甚至从未路过的省份，贵州就是其中的一个。对这个人们传统观念中天高地远的蛮荒之地，我一直没有太多的关注，也知之甚少。　　其实早在2002年我第一次开始自助旅行去凤凰，在租了一辆自行车去阿拉营镇的黄丝桥古城时，知道再前行几里地，就可以进入贵州省，那时就在心里埋下了有朝一日要去这个夜郎国度一探究竟的愿望。　　然而，十年中，尽管我每年都要出外旅行，甚至先后去了越南和泰国，而贵州省却一直没有列入我的旅行计划之中，这个美丽的旅游大省也一直没有留下我的足迹。　　直到去年，我终于把远行的目瞄向了这里。　　为什么要去贵州旅行？一句话两句话说不清楚。在我搜集资料的时候，看到一位贵州朋友写的文章，似乎可以较全面的回答这个问，让朋友们对这个美丽神奇的地方有一个全面的了解，故转发到这里，供大家参考（此篇介绍文章中的插图均来自网络，特此说明）：原文地址：https//blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_70f15b1c01017rpx.html贵州：美丽神奇的公园省，自驾游、户外运动的天堂贵州游侠　　贵州有着非常宜人的气候，零度以下及三十度以上的气温很少出现。一月份平均气温摄氏四到九度，七月平均气温也只有摄氏二十三度至二十七度之间，夏无酷暑，冬无严寒。地震、台风、海啸及较大的洪水等自然灾害与贵州无缘。贵州境内植被十分茂盛，一年四季到处都是郁郁葱葱的景色。贵州大小江河、溪流遍布，湖泊水库众多，随处可见青山绿水、奇峰绝壁。风景名胜、文物古迹遍布全省各地。一年四季都适合休闲旅游、探险猎奇。　　贵州的大小瀑布成千上万，形态各异，美不胜收。除了气势磅礴响声震天的黄果树瀑布和十丈洞瀑布外，有的纤细绵长飘飘洒洒，有的几个瀑布叠成一串浩浩荡荡，有的多个瀑布排成一排各显风采。有的从悬崖半腰洞中喷涌而出如巨龙下山，令人目瞪口呆。荔波小七孔景区十二公里就有瀑布六十八个，兴义市马岭河峡谷六公里内也有瀑布几十个。中国十大瀑布水帘洞之一的穿洞河瀑布，在其五十多米长的瀑下居然贯穿着一条水帘洞，从古代起就成为道路的一部分。黄果树大瀑布　　贵州的溶洞也是成千上万，除了被作家冯牧称为：“黄山归来不看山，织金洞外无洞天。”的织金洞、总长达一百一十公里的双河溶洞外。有一眼望去如一轮明月挂在山间的穿洞，有曲折盘旋绵延几十公里穿州过县的长洞，有洞中有洞、洞上有洞、洞旁有洞、洞洞相连，使整个山变空了的空山洞。有如戟似剑的石膏晶洞，有的水中有洞、有的洞中有水、有潭、有暗河激流，还有许多古人类居住过的山洞。有电影[云雾山中]土匪盘踞的窗子洞。有关押张学良、杨虎城的麒麟洞、阳明洞、玄天洞、有在洞口修筑城墙，在洞中躲避土匪战乱的堡垒洞、有在洞中建有飞机发动机制造厂五层厂房的高大洞穴，有洞中吹出狂风的风洞，惠水的波云洞旁一个小洞会吹出寒冷的风，即使是盛夏你也不敢在此久留。有上万个燕子盘旋其中的燕子洞，蝙蝠居住的蝙蝠洞，。溶洞中景色各异、美丽绝伦。任你打开想像的空间、用尽赞美的词语，也无法形容它的美妙和神奇。织金洞　　贵州还有很多天生桥，大方青虚洞天生桥高大宽敞，桥下曾拟作为飞机库和跑道，蒋介石曾在桥洞下宴请过两千多人。黎平天生桥拱型规整圆滑，跨度一百一十九米，桥宽百米，堪称世界之最。瓮安仙桥居于高山之巅远望如天桥一般，有许多天生桥已被作为公路桥使用，纳雍的九洞天、大方的八洞天更是由多个天生桥组成。湄潭的百面水有二十一个天生桥。黎平高屯天生桥　　贵州现存的古代石建筑繁多，现存有数十个结构严谨、造型优美、雕刻精致的石牌坊，有数百个巍峨屹立的古石塔及佛教塔墓。上千个美丽古朴形态各异结构不同的古石拱桥、石墩石梁桥及石桥上有屋、有亭的花桥。有数百个建筑宏伟、规模宏大、雕刻精良的古石墓葬。数百个建在山间险境的军事城堡、营盘，均为巨石建成，有石拱门、房屋、仓库、地道、暗堡工事，最大的营盘面积竟达十平方公里。还有许多石墙石瓦石铺地面的古老的村寨。绥阳的石房子堪称石建筑的精髓，整个建筑全由精石料榫接而成，所有的柱、坊、梁上都有精美的雕刻，甚至连衣柜、水缸、台案等都是由石料精制而成。关岭的无梁殿，面积上百平方米无梁无柱，堪称一绝。石阡元代千工堰、瓮安明代梅花堰、遵义五百年雷水堰，兴义三百年石渡槽，作为几百年前的水利工程还在发挥着它的作用，平坝的天台山五龙寺建在绝壁尖顶，被称为石头建筑的绝唱，令多少古建筑专家为之倾倒。许多上百年的石碉堡还屹立在大小寨堡中。天龙屯堡—天台山伍龙寺　　贵州河流大都流淌在幽深的山谷间，有乌江、清水江、南盘江、北盘江、都柳江、赤水河等较大的河流，还有数不清的支流和小溪，河水清澈，河道蜿蜒，落差较大，景色优美，水质极佳，可用于漂流的河流有八百二十条，已开发漂流的河道就有四十多条。还有数不清的阴河暗流，时明时暗，妙趣横生。北盘江大峡谷及北盘江大桥　　贵州有着难以数计的古树名木，直径数米、树龄几百年的各种古树分布在全省各地，树龄千年以上的古树也有几十颗，最大的藤类植物的直径竟达半米。被称为植物活化石的桫椤在黔西北成片生长，硕大的古树被当地人民敬为神灵，从而得到精心的保护。站在苍劲挺拔、饱经风霜的古树下，你也会对它产生深深的敬意和发自内心的喜爱。　　在横跨在大小河流和溪沟上的上千个古代桥梁中，除了前面提到的石拱桥、石梁桥外还有各种结构的古朴的木制凉桥、板凳桥、充满了古代人民智慧和勤劳勇敢精神的竹索桥、藤索桥、用竹杆连接两岸树木形成的竹杆桥、以伸到对岸的树根为梁的树根桥。以铁链固定在巨石上连接两岸形成的铁索桥。以砖为料的砖拱桥，以石为墩以木为梁的木梁桥，将石料固定排列在水中形成的汀步桥。无一不以其原始、古朴的风貌展现在人们的面前。反映了古代劳动人民的聪明才智。荔波小七孔古桥　　古老的建筑在贵州也非常多，有许多规模宏大雕梁画栋的寺庙、庄严肃穆装饰精良的家族祠堂、极具异域风情的清真寺，庄重的书院、豪华的他乡会馆、宽敞富丽中西合璧的豪宅、占地宽广建筑宏大的土司衙署、庄园，精美适用雕刻精致绘画精良的古民居、在施秉一个十分偏远的小山村居然有着几十家高封火墙的豪华徽式建筑。镇远青龙洞古建筑群占地面积达两万二千平方米，单体建筑达二十五幢之多。位于安顺城内的文庙，始建于明洪武初年、占地十一亩，内存一对高大的透雕石龙柱为国内罕见，还有一面巨大的透雕石花墙及两座精雕石牌坊，如此精品在城市中得到完好的保存，堪称奇迹。镇远青龙洞　　贵州境内还保存有几十段数公里长的古驿道，这些古驿道均为石板或石块铺筑，经过数百载风雨的洗礼，已经非常光滑洁白，古驿道上有驿站、关隘城楼、烽火台、屯兵堡垒。古桥古树。三国时期关羽之子关索修建的关索古驿道留下了一路的遗迹和多少神奇的传说。巾帼英雄奢香夫人修建的龙场九驿还一段段残留在乌蒙山脉上，一座座古桥为你讲述着一个小女子的博大胸怀。从孔明塘、孔明山、诸葛洞、诸葛峡、孟获屯、双泉寺等三国遗迹中似乎还能感受到历史的硝烟。青岩古镇定广门前古驿道　　在贵州各地都有着众多的古代达官贵人、文人墨客留下的摩崖石刻、摩崖造像、岩溶造像、古碑刻、岩画及被称为写字岩的古代文字遗迹。关岭的红岩碑留下了难以破解的千古之谜，反映了贵州丰富的历史文化底蕴。贵州摩崖石刻　　贵州古代各民族的墓葬也非常奇特：苗族的洞葬是把棺木集中存放在两面通风的岩洞中，水族是将遗体放入用精制石板做成的三层棺木的下层，而将其日常用品及粮食放入上面两层，以供主人“享用”，并在石板外面刻上花卉及主人生平经历的图案及文字。还有一种崖墓是在垂直的岩壁中间开凿出墓室将棺木放入，然后安装石门。满族墓葬则是将土坟用料石封包，在料石表面雕刻精美的图案及文字，并修筑高大的墓碑及宽敞的拜台。近年又发现花溪一个岩洞里有用一段整木料凿成的棺木，彝族的向天坟被称为中国西南的金字塔。夜郎王的坟墓则像一个卫星接收天线。贵州古墓　　许多曾经走出家乡的贵州名人的墓葬也保存完好，如贵阳的李端棻，曾任清朝礼部尚书，是北京大学的首倡者和戊戌变法的幕后领导人。黔西的李士杰，廉洁勤奋，官至兵部尚书。思南的田仰为明清两朝兵部尚书。思南的郭石渠，任清朝监察御史，勤政廉洁、关心农民疾苦，力遏吏治弊端。曾任山东巡抚、四川总督的织金人丁宝桢重视海疆的巩固和枪械的制造，关切黄河的治理、打击贪官污吏、关心民众的疾苦。凯里的孙应鳌曾任多种要职，被提任工部尚书而谢绝。在家乡著书人。都匀人扶纲曾任明朝最后一任礼部尚书、兵部尚书，忠君爱国，将被吴三桂杀害

D1—D2（0914—0915）：火车上　　早上醒来，已经6点多钟，火车还没出山海关。　　从沈阳和我一起上车的老爷子，87岁了，身体倍棒，自己上下中铺毫不费力，真令人羡慕。　　原来，他是和闺女一起来沈阳探亲，儿子给买的回程票。13日晚上儿子送他们到火车站。到车站，闺女一看手里的票，竟然是14日的。因为着急回去，她连忙到售票处办改，还不错，竟然有票，不过原来的两个下铺变成了一个中铺和一个上铺，而且不在一个车厢。没办法，闺女只好把老头送过来，安顿好，然后回到自己的车厢。　　记不清了，好像这个就是那老头的闺女。　　乘坐56个小时的火车，对许多人是一种难以忍受的事情，对我则无所谓，在我看来，上了火车，它迟早会把你送到你要去的地方，所以，只管像在家一样，该干嘛干嘛。　　虽然这条路已经走过了无数次，可我总是看不够沿路的风景。　　正是新兵入伍的时节，很多车站都有新兵等待乘车去部队。这是在天津车站等待上车的新兵。　　火车上的人们，消磨时间各有各的方法。年轻姑娘们最时尚的当然是玩手机。　　车上的美女和美少妇还真不少。还有顽皮的孩子和慈祥的老人　　这几位，分别是辽宁石油学院、中国石油大学和青岛石油学院毕业的大学生，幸运地被中石油聘用，被派到昆明参与前些日子引起很大风波的安宁PX石油项目。在火车上，他们小心地和一位当地的姑娘（下图）论证当地人对石油人的态度，担心群众闹事，生命安全得不到保障。　　昆明姑娘说话语速极快，机关枪一样用本地话给他们解答。火车一路行进，15日晚7点到达湘西张家界。这个地方我2002年来过，那是我第一次开始自助旅行，就是从那以后，我开始了迄今12个年头的自助游经历。 D3（0916）：多云转晴安顺—云峰（七眼桥）—安顺早上，睡醒以后，发现车停了，透过车窗，原来火车刚刚到达贵阳。7点整，火车晚点几分钟到达安顺。下车出站。　　走出火车站，先找旅馆。　　出火车站前行不远就是一个小集市，许多老乡前来卖菜。其中最引人瞩目的就是身着奇异装束的屯堡妇女。安顺地区，是600年前明王朝屯垦戍边的屯堡的密集分布区。　　从贵州中部一直向西，再向西，就是云南。这是从内地通往这个著名的西南边陲最为便捷的途径。从600年前开拓的古驿道到后世修建的公路、铁路，都沿着这个方向不断延伸。　　1902年，日本人类学者鸟居龙藏在贵州考察时，在安平县(今平坝县)郊外，看到几个打扮既有别于当时的汉族，又不同于附近少数民族的妇女，引起鸟居龙藏的好奇。向当地人打听：这是什么民族？一些当地人告诉他，这是“凤头鸡”。　　第二年，鸟居龙藏的同事伊东忠太在安平也注意到这个特殊的人群。他问地方官员，官员回答是“凤头苗”。其实，所谓“凤头鸡”、“凤头苗”，就是地道的屯堡人。他们是当年江浙一带正宗汉民的后裔，是当年屯垦戍边的将士的妻女。所谓“凤头”，就是凤阳头，是600多年前明太祖朱元璋的家乡凤阳女人的梳头方式。　　如今，600多年过去了，这些屯堡女人的装束依然保持着祖制，鹅黄色的长衣大袖，外围黑色的围腰，腰间系上一条彩色丝带。精致的花边透着江南刺绣的神韵。长发挽起用圆网罩于脑后，并且佩戴着玉簪等首饰。这些明朝皇帝朱元璋老家汉族妇女的正统装束“凤阳汉装”，屯堡女子一穿就是600多年。　　据说“文革”初期，有造反派来强迫她们卸去“奇装异服”，可他们一走，女人们照样又汉装穿上身。　　与外界长期的误判形成鲜明对照，屯堡人对于自己的身份有着清晰的认识，在安顺，哪怕是目不识丁的乡下农妇，你问到她什么民族，来自何方时，她都会毫不犹豫的回答你：“我们是屯堡人，我们的祖上是朱元璋‘调北征南’的时候来到贵州的。”　　屯堡及屯堡文化和其背后的传奇故事，正是我此次来安顺旅行最感兴趣的东西之一。　　走过集市，来到安顺汽车客运站（客运南站，安顺有好几个客运站——除了南站，还有西站和北站等等），在这里找个小旅店，安排住下。　　安排好住处，放下背包，出去逛街。　　本来按照原来的计划，今天准备去云峰屯堡景区，可昨天在火车上吃糖时，把嘴里的一个烤瓷牙牙套粘了下来，这下子吃东西非常不方便。必须得赶快修好，这是个大事情，关乎今后一个月的顺利旅行，所以我改变计划，今天先在安顺市内转转，顺便找地方修牙。　　走出旅馆，走进车站对面的小巷，里面是一个很热闹的集市。还有一个小学校，一群孩子正准备上学。　　在小巷转了一圈，回到南华路上，继续北行。　　毕竟是南国，此时，沈阳已经秋雨降温，人们全副武装。可这里的姑娘们还是一身短打，看着就清爽。。　　来到转盘塔山东路和塔山西路的交界处，这里有安顺的名山——西秀山，这是一座在平地间突起的石山，峻峭挺拔却并不太高，大约有三十米左右，山上有一座石塔，洁白如洗，塔身呈锥形六边体，七级，据说始建于1326年，是元代安顺三大建筑之一。　　山下有绕山一圈的休闲公园带，很漂亮，上山有木制的栈道，沿栈道登上山顶，顿时视野开阔，小小安顺尽收眼底。　　从山上看，山后有一座天主教堂，是一栋四合院建筑，很宽大，整个建筑似乎都是老建筑，但在礼拜堂的后面，竟然有一栋中式的亭阁式的建筑及几栋高大的中式砖木古建筑。　　下山继续北转，这里可以看到西秀山全貌。　　山脚下是一个小广场，一群人正在跳街舞。　　中秋快到了，这里还准备举办月饼展销会。　　小广场旁边，西秀山脚下还有一座寺庙，名为“圆通寺”。是两进的庙宇，据说始建于1352年，后来逐渐建成一组宏大的建筑群，曾排名安顺三大寺庙之首。但到“文革”后仅剩一座大雄宝殿，近年已经修复。　　圆通寺旁边就是我在山上看到的天主教堂，这是一个四合院建筑，两厢是二层楼，正面是礼拜堂，墙面是用精石料砌筑成正三角形，顶部有十字架。　　走进礼拜堂，麻雀虽小，五脏居全，很像那么回事。　　看过了圆通寺和天主教堂，继续前行，来到有一个十字路口，这里正在进行路口改造。透过围栏，看到街区对面有一组古建筑，这就是安顺武庙。　　安顺武庙是很有名气的建筑，原名慈云寺，据说始建于明洪武十五年（1382年），有600余年历史，原名寿亭侯祠，后改称关帝庙。清康熙五年（公元1666年）改建为武庙。在民国八年（1919年）因将关羽、岳飞合祀，又称关岳庙。但安顺人一直称其“安顺武庙”。　　武庙大殿石柱堪称安顺各寺庙之冠，36根石柱全系整料白料石，柱间均用厚木枋穿斗连接，其选料之精，雕凿之实，连接之妙前所未有。整座武庙囿于地理，占地不广(仅3200平方米，为文庙的三分之一)，但其规制齐备，布局精致，殿宇楼阁相得益彰，廊庑厅厢各呈特色，座北朝南之象观亦合武运之道。武庙泮池成八梭形，暗合八卦，此亦有别于其他古建筑，为武庙增色不少。大殿塑像有二，皆关羽像，一为坐像，一为行像。一殿二像且为同一人，此构思布局匪夷所思，为天下唯一。其柱联贴切有味：“兄玄德，弟翼德，德兄德弟；师卧龙，友子龙，龙师龙友。”([]

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([]
