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([]

顾家—共妻玉桂夫人

陈珍舜

临出发前2天，零红蝶独自前往温宿破城子煤矿探了一趟路，回来后做出了反穿夏特古道的决定。当我们一行18人在乌鲁木齐南郊客运站乘坐开往阿克苏的大巴时，他还用炫耀的口气得意洋洋地说：我们要从南疆走到北疆！从荒漠走到美丽的草原！越走越美！牛人就是牛人！当我们经过一夜加半个上午的长途颠簸，终于站在托木尔峰缓冲带博孜墩边境管理区等候边检登记检查时，才突然想起从乌鲁木齐随车携带的气罐落在了客车上！此时我们与营运客车的距离已经近百公里。一阵忙乱联络安排，待再上路时，已经比预计的时间晚了约3个小时。至旧金矿破房子后，下车、分装气罐、整理背包，开始徒步上路。于漫天浮尘中约行进6、7公里，天色渐晚，择地扎营。曾经看过王铁男先生的《魂断夏特古道》，痛失好友的泣血经历使人对夏特充满恐惧，但是神秘的冰川又总是让人欲罢不能。关于夏特古道：夏特，清称沙图阿满台，位于昭苏西南部的汗腾格里山下，是伊犁至阿克苏的交通驿站。夏特古道北起伊犁昭苏夏塔牧场，南至阿克苏温宿破城子，沟通天山南北，全长120公里，是丝绸之路上最为险峻的一条沟通南北疆的著名古隘道。夏特古道承载着太多太厚重的历史，有过太多太炫目的辉煌。2000年前秦汉的和亲公主从这里远托异国；1300年前唐玄奘从这里翻越3500米的哈达木孜达坂，到达天山南麓的龟兹佛国。上个世纪初期，芬兰的探险家马达汉，由阿克苏出发经夏特古道回国，1944年～1946年他担任了芬兰共和国总统。不知在成为总统后，马达汉是否曾经在梦里重走夏特··· 夏特，木扎尔特冰川携带着万古的悠远，散发着神秘的光芒。能在无边苍穹下的冰川上安身，绝对是上帝的独特恩宠。反穿夏特古道，我们将从破城子进山，夏塔牧场出山，从荒漠走向丰美的草原。被遗弃是荒凉的。但是，荒凉，有时也是一种美；静默无言，或许是生命的另一种倾诉。每次长线重装的过程，恰如一次脱胎换骨。凤凰涅槃，浴火重生，须得一段痛苦煎熬！这，也是一种生命的倾诉！次日晨9点准时拔营。行前晨会，领队告诉我们当日需要行进20公里，主要沿木扎尔特河主流，一路朔北而上。因为头天的延误，今天一开始的步伐很赶。沙尘天气让行走很不舒服，每个人都不得不捂着。在隐约看到同行的另外的队伍背影后，零红蝶骄傲地吼着“我们要追上他们了，我们要超过他们.......” 我们的队伍比较整齐，强驴辈出，相形之下我只能算是弱者，果然不久就见了分晓。渐渐地，我的背负感到了沉重。在一次次爬坡之后，一种不好的感觉逐渐笼罩：先是眼睛发花看不清路，接着腿脚也开始有些不听使唤地乱拧起来，我落在了后面。调整、调整，我嘱咐着自己，但是却没有多大改观。我坚持着大口呼吸调整着，竭力不让自己拉得太远。就在这时，心脏的紧刺感袭来，疼痛、呕吐感、呼吸急促，以及眼前发黑同时出现了...... 我出状况了！从未有过的恐惧和绝望...... 停下，咽下水和急备药丸，我继续调整着，瘫软却逐渐弥漫到了全身。我坚持着靠近了收队夏天，告诉他：我恐怕走不出去了。夏天扶我斜靠在一处土坡上，喝水、喘息、调整，状况有所减轻。领队派来了不离不弃，背走了我的大包，前队也在高坡上倒伏的铁架处休息等着我。不能拖累队伍的决心让我在稍微缓解后要求继续前行，但是只走了百余米后，一阵恍惚，依稀望见夏天在我前面右侧，伸出手去抓住了他的胳膊，身体便滑落倒下去了...... 似乎就像睡了一觉，再醒来时看见我的周围：双鱼、三儿、好人、夏天等都在，当然，还有领队零红蝶！零红蝶告诉了我他们的决定：让不离不弃陪着我下撤。泪水、鼻涕，伴着发自心底的绝望不可收拾！难受的感觉，颤抖的身体，这样的干滩上如何下撤？对陪我下撤的人来说，风险岂不更大？自己做了长时间的准备，只为冰川之旅，下撤？？？泪奔中我拼命调整自己，告诉他们我能行，我能调整过来的！好像还流着泪请领队帮我实现自己的愿望，请求在前队休息的地方路餐休息后看状态再决定撤还是不撤...... 最后的结果是，在双鱼和三儿两人一左一右的架扶下，在夏天随后几步一歇的节奏控制下，我就像太后出巡一般地，一步步爬上了高坡，站在了山顶的铁架旁。休息、调整、慢行，我的状态逐渐在恢复...... 似这样熬到晚上8点左右，终于到了冰川下面的营地，骤雨来袭。不离不弃已经提前为我们扎好了帐篷，还送来了烧好的热牛奶。放倒在帐中，昏昏沉沉地睡去，我需要好好歇歇，备战明天更难更严峻的翻越达坂。今天，没有后撤就是最大的成功！ 3日早晨拔营后，一直处于万劫不复的冰川延伸带的爬升中。为了照顾我，之前领队安排好人背走了我的相机，飞翔、三儿、牧民大哥、双鱼等分走了我包中的食物。在夏天、好人、双鱼、不弃和三儿等协作的先后分别陪伴护佑下，我踏上了翻越冰川达坂之路。从上路开始便一直不停地走，告诫自己绝不能停，不能拖累大家...... 因为地质运动及气候等原因，夏特冰川在以令人惊异的速度退去。碎石、泥雪、石粉布满的前路，不久就令人崩溃！能够让人提起精神的，是连绵的冰川带给我们的惊喜。原来的古道多经地质变迁无法通行，能够找到古道遗存是非常不易的，多半都需要领队先行探路确认后才能通过。继续...... 直到中午三点多，才在冰川上海拔2900多米处找到有水源的午间营地。坐下来休整，才觉得右腿膝盖下的疼痛，卷起裤腿，一处硬币大的伤口还在渗血，那是前面在行走时不慎踩翻了一处松动的石块造成的！得！祸不单行！当天后半段的路途多是沿渐渐融化的冰川体斜切。穿行于冰川之中，万古岁月消融，冰川也在消融，时不时会传来冰川融化断裂的轰鸣巨响，令人胆寒。当晚，扎营在一处约5、6米高的冰壁前，营地海拔3200多米。继续渡劫之旅...... 万古的冰川，也经不起岁月的流逝。在零零碎碎的时光中，无可奈何地沉寂、消融、坍塌、奔泻。一直以为自己很坚强，面对隆隆作化的冰川，却不得不正视残酷，与万古相比，我们的生命是那么的脆弱、那么的微不足道！莽莽天地间，我们究竟该如何安放自己的灵魂？ 4日晨9：30时启程，再向上攀高300米海拔，到达木扎尔特冰川达坂顶部。木扎尔特达坂海拔3582米，也是南天山南北水系的分水岭，北为昭苏夏特河源头的冰川，南为阿克苏拜城木扎尔特河源头。木扎尔特达坂东西两侧均为海拔5000—5400米的山峰，常年银装素裹。站在这里，极目远眺，云天激荡，山势傲伟，冰川雄厚，那种壮阔之美，令你浑身的疲惫顷刻灰飞烟灭...... 夏特之精华，此刻尽在我们眼前！最难的路，我们已经走过来了！下达坂的雪野中，积雪很厚很厚，很多地方都没过了大腿。领队在前面趟路，我们在后面随行，行路艰难。特别是几次涉过寒彻肌骨的冰水后，漫长的前路和刺骨的冰水几乎耗尽了我们的全部体能。“前方1.5公里是今天的营地”，领队说。但是这最后的1.5公里却走的太久、太难，也许是我们体能到了极限，也许是领队开路也累勺了以致预计有误，（我更愿意相信是后者，零红蝶真给累勺了！）过桥后，好不容易熬到了所谓的五星营地，所有人都不愿再动了。但是营地虽好，营地旁的一条小溪却干涸了！没有水源的营地怎么能是五星级营地？几个协作又不得不跑很远的地方取水...... 尽管不远处浑浊的冰川河水在咆哮着向下奔流...... 寒彻肌骨的冰水现在回想起来都如同噩梦...... 没有水源的营地怎么能称五星？ 5日，我们穿行在雪莲峰护佑下的夏塔牧场。神秘而美丽的雪莲峰一直目送着我们，无数次回望，无数次感恩，无数次欢笑，似乎所有的艰辛与苦难都已经淡忘。但是，我知道，这一路，我真是来渡劫了！在过夏塔牧场中一条窄窄的小溪时，我又一次踩翻了石块...... 后记：有一种缘分，叫上天注定；有一种相遇，叫神的安排。去夏特之前，拜读过王铁男老师的《魂断夏特古道》，对夏特之险有所了解，对能让新疆户外前辈翻船的木扎尔特河心存敬畏。回来后才知道，我出状况不远处的河道，正是当年董务新前辈遇难的地方。那个有铁架的高坡上，正是董务新前辈的衣冠冢。当领队和协作们全部冲下坡去急救我时，队里的南山牧民大哥一直在围着那几个玛尼堆念念叨叨...... 这难道真是上天给我的安排...... 我：夏天，我可能走不出去了！夏：不会的！记得博格达吗？跟着我，我会带你走出去的...... 这是我开始出状况时跟夏天的对话，我清醒的记着。当年的博格达，我正是踩着夏天的脚步，一步步登上了碎石达坂。但是眼下，我却走不动了！我不知道后来当我抓着夏天的胳膊倒下去的时候，夏天的心情和举动。平素里夏天是个沉稳的人，好人说正是因为沉稳的夏天发出了“会急救的赶紧下来”的呼声，他们才觉得事情严重，四五个人迅速地赶到了我的身边...... 在路上我曾经想过，夏特之行也许是我最后一次行走了，也许这次就走不出去了。感谢上天垂爱，我不仅平安走出，还结识了一帮生死弟兄！兄弟们，有你们，真棒！艰难的路...... 万古冰川消融...... 美丽的雪莲峰目送着我们....... 丰腴的夏塔牧场包容着我们...... 平安夏特，我们感恩天与地！永志涅槃之旅......看到零队的夏特计划，咋又动心了呢？！([]

西沙群岛，那片遥远的海疆，从儿时的电影、课文中就出现的美丽海域，终于成为了眼前触手可及的美景。经历了往返近48个小时的骇浪颠簸、晕船呕吐，当我庆幸终于离开不停摇动的甲板，踏上陆地时，却发现自己竟然不适应在陆地上行走，深一脚浅一脚，仿佛还停留在船上的状态。西沙群岛所有的美景、淳朴的渔民，都让我如此陶醉，如此留恋！这次的旅行非同寻常，刻骨铭心，醉生梦死，西沙的一切都让我中毒太深，据说解药藏在西沙的那些海岛上，看来，西沙还得再去一次，再去一次啊！像往常一样，从这个叫做北京的地方飞向美丽的海南岛，这次与以往任何一次旅行都不一样，将要乘坐一种叫做船的家伙出海，听说还是木制的渔船，兴奋、开心、好奇、纠结、忐忑，等等一并袭来，组成了一支出发进行曲，在沐浴着晨光的心间来回荡漾。南航的A380，传说中的巨无霸，绝对比麦当劳里的那个有型，身披金光，霸气十足！可惜了，这不是飞海南的，我乘坐的A330，比起这个家伙，寒酸啊！登机就睡觉，惯例！眼睛一闭、一睁，还是在天上，再一闭、一睁，海南岛到了！4月的海口已然湿热无比，吹着微微的海风，晃晃悠悠来到了市区。05年至今来过海南五六趟，海口几乎没有任何变化，交通依然混乱不堪，只是原来满大街的摩托车变成了清一色的电瓶车，在大街小巷横冲直闯，真是佩服海南人的车技和耐心！吃，旅行的一个永恒主！文昌鸡、东山羊、加积鸭、和乐蟹号称海南四大美食，均已尝遍。海口街头巷口那些本地人光顾的大排档才是真正的美食聚集地，简单挑几张这次吃过的东东，出海之前吃饱喝足，到时候晕船呕吐才有体力啊！正，正，扯了半天都跑，出海的时刻即将到来！夜色中的港口一片祥和，殊不知再过1个时辰，待到风高月夜之时，我等将随船潜入夜，悄悄向西沙海域进发！深夜23时左右，船只出发了，如果一切顺利，将在24个小时后抵达西沙海域。几乎在所有的影像或文字资料中，海都是唯美和浪漫的代名词。然而当渔船驶出港口，理想和现实的差距渐渐拉开。船长说这次我比较幸运，海况还算不错，寒流刚结束，台风季节还没到，所以没有大的风浪。尽管如此，半夜在深海，浪也达到了1米多高，躺在船顶的甲板上，来回晃悠。夜深时，呼啸的海风夹杂在孤单的马达轰鸣声中，听起来格外恐怖。海浪一声声打在甲板、船身，偶尔还夹杂着雨点飘来，机房也飘来是刺鼻柴油味严重刺激了我的神经，在支离破碎的梦境中晃悠到天明。晕船，是必须的，出发前为晕船做了充分准备，买了晕船药和晕船贴，不过为了体验晕船的奇妙感受，这些东西都没用上。天将明，海浪依然不减，干脆起床站到船头甲板去吹海风，看海上日出。驾驶舱位于船只顶部，摇晃也最厉害。而机舱工作人员常年要在震耳欲聋的噪音中工作。一下到底舱，各种机器一同工作产生的震耳欲聋的噪音迎面袭来，船上无时无刻不在的噪音原来是从这儿发出的。几十吨的渔船在大海中，如同一粒尘埃，严重的颠簸摧残着我，船体有时候倾斜近20°，晕得厉害，没撤，日出是看不下去了，爬回甲板继续平躺，船工说，即使在海上工作了几十年的老船员有时候也会晕船。同行的哥们问：“晕吗？”答：“晕！”又问：“想吐吗？”答：“想，可我舍不得，昨儿吃的，鲍鱼！”船工过来喊我去下层船舱吃饭，挣扎着爬到船舱里，一股刺鼻的柴油味袭来，连滚带爬又回到了上层甲板，脑袋伸向大海，眩晕加反胃，开吐。吐完靠着船舷坐在甲板上，舒服多了，当时心里就想，回程也是同样的航程，我靠，没法活了。船长说：晕船是避免不了的，吃了东西，吐了，那就再吃……在轰鸣的马达和颠簸中度过一个白天，晕乎乎的躺在甲板上，船上的生活可想而知很枯燥。大海上一切信号都消失，不能上网，手机也只能当做闹钟用。心里琢磨，从来没有过的体验，连续躺着超过20多个小时，突然又想到还有回程，瞬间心里那个凌乱啊！天色暗下来，远处海平线上隐约露出了一个灯塔，啊，是北礁！激动的差点内牛满面。过了北礁，到西沙就只剩下不到5个小时的航程了，亲，你们能体验兄弟我此刻的心情么！继续平躺，船体从灯塔旁悄然驶过。航灯塔，在儿时的印象中，就是一位老人孤独地坚守在塔顶，日复一日为过往的船只指引前行的航路。从内陆前往南中国海，第一站是北礁灯塔，这个灯塔作用十分重大，过往船只都要通过它来核对航海参数。塔高23米，顶灯射程能够达到15海里。远航过的人都能理解，在黑夜中的大海上，远方的灯塔就像家一样温暖。从日出到日落，又一天过去了，西沙越来越近！在大海上，无风三尺浪，看似平静的海面，船体还是来回摇晃。在白天的航行中，偶遇了海豚，共三只，远远地露出灰色的背鳍，突然跃出海面，优美的划出一道弧线，落水后便消失了！日落的过程无法用语言去形容，绚丽的色彩用任何镜头都难以表达。黑夜又将来临，从出发到现在，已经过了23个小时，西沙海域，我们终于抵达了！天黑了，无法登陆附近的岛屿，船长说明天早上涨潮后再登岛，今晚继续在船上打发时光。整整睡了近24个小时，现在精神亢奋，钓鱼是船上最普遍的娱乐活动。船工打开船头的照明灯，大伙开始钓鱼，各种钓具齐出动。有用杆的，有用卷筒的，有的直接攥着一根鱼线，都能钓上鱼。钓到的都是些稀奇古怪的鱼，生活在内地的我们基本上叫不出这些鱼的名字。不到一个小时的功夫，已经钓上来几十条鱼，生鱼片敞开供应，渔获在甲板上直接加工，很美味，像嫩牛肉一样，入口即化。太阳再次升起，美丽的西沙映入眼帘，海面深邃幽蓝，太阳从海中慢慢升起，一会金色的阳光遍铺满海面，海水也变成了碧绿色。银屿岛，抵达西沙后见到的第一个岛屿，远远看去就像一道美丽的金黄色线条。这个礁石岛面积只有0.01平方公里，海拔不足两米，随着涨潮，面积将变得更小。岛上有几座渔民的棚屋，有些渔民常年驻守在这里进行捕捞作业。今天我将登陆这个岛屿，在岛上浮潜、露营！这些位于大海中的珊瑚岛，四周水很浅，我们的渔船无法靠近，只能远远的停泊在深海区域，依靠渔民的小船往返接送。这种小船配备一个小马达，最大承载量6-8人。渔民站在船上疾驶的造型太酷了，可惜我们没有这个平衡能力。来西沙很仓促，几乎没有时间去整理装备，胡乱装了一大包就来了。从小船上直接跳进海里，双脚浸入海水的那一瞬间，海水暖暖的，心都快化了。由于西沙群岛没有对外开放，再加之其地理位置远离陆地，所以它的生态环境得以有效的保护，真正体验到了清澈见底、碧波浩渺的传说场景。无数次看到马尔代夫、大溪地等著名海滩的图片，也无数次憧憬，来到西沙后，一切憧憬都是神马浮云，惊叹、激动、恍惚……长期以来由于环境恶化、过度捕捞，国内很多渔场已面临无鱼可捞，海南也不例外，近海的渔业资源也近乎枯竭。对于祖祖辈辈把大海当做粮仓的渔民来说，面前就只有一条路：去更远的海。西沙的很多岛屿上都有常年驻守的渔民，每个岛多则数十人，少则3、4人。他们每次出海驻岛作业少则3、4个月，多则半年、一年，甚至更长。在这与世隔绝、杳无音讯的海岛上，白天与大海作伴，夜晚与星月相依，日出而作日入而息，简单、枯燥、寂寞，日复一日，年复一年。捕捞上来的螺、鱼、贝等分类存放在这样的塑料框里，泡在海水中养殖，不定期就会有大型的渔船来西沙收购，纯天然无污染。面对这样的大海，没有理由拒绝，不管你是否会游泳，都要跳进她的拥抱，与之嬉戏！面对这样的大海，端着相机的双手都在颤抖，处处是美景，都不知从何处下手了。同行的有两个哥们带了哈苏和大义617胶片机来创作，我只能借机摆个POSS。碧绿的海水蔚蓝的天空让你无法控制自己身体对它的亲近，这里是绝佳的浮潜天堂。一个猛子扎下海去，很多海洋的动植物立刻将你拥抱，那些可爱的热带鱼偶尔会调皮地“摩擦和戏弄”你一下，冷不丁也会窜出一条长达1米的不知名海鱼从身边缓缓游过，擦肩而过时还痞痞的斜眼藐你。所谓的海螺、贝壳、珊瑚之类的暂且放下，还有更多的东西诱惑着你，鲍鱼、八爪鱼、海胆、海参、石斑鱼等等，知道名字和不知道名字的，以前看过的还是从未谋面的，数不胜数，都等着你去零距离地亲密接触。水下拍摄，第一次尝试，借来同行哥们的佳能D10水下相机，尽情拍个够。水下相机的色彩还原效果特别出色，也有用防水袋装着普通单反的，但防水袋的塑料折射率太差，拍出的效果也不太好。第一天登岛后没有太多经验，赤膊上阵，结果强烈的紫外线让我吃尽了苦头，接下来的几天内都是长衣长裤、鞋袜齐全下海，还好保护措施及时补救，才没有晒伤，同行的好几个哥们浑身晒得像煮熟的龙虾，红通通的，两条大腿似乎穿了性感的红丝袜。对于珊瑚，大家并不陌生，除了水族馆，大多见到的都是加工过的珊瑚石，这里的海底遍布活珊瑚，一猛子扎到海底，轻轻的拿起一块珊瑚体，软软的，触角还在蠕动，拍张照，再缓缓将它们送回海底。这里的海水透明度高达几十米，岛屿周边因为有浅滩，海滩延伸出去50多米，水深大多是齐腰或齐胸。一个人静静的浮潜在这里，大海、鱼儿、珊瑚等做伴，时间和思维都停止了，爬在水面上发呆，体验从未有过的感觉。聊天、唠嗑、摆龙门阵……没有酒水饮料、没有零食小吃，大家就这样坐在珊瑚礁上，泡在海水中，一个下午的时光就这样悠闲的度过了！既然是中国的领土，必定要有象征主权的界碑，西沙每一个露出海面的岛屿上均有边防等单位设立的警示碑。风吹日晒，很多碑上的涂料均已褪色，在附近找到烧过木灰，涂抹上，才显示出那些碑刻上的国徽和说明文字。岛上没有任何接待条件，除了孤零零的几座渔民的木棚，扎营是最佳方案，超级海景房啊，面朝大海，春暖花开！傍晚退潮的时候，岛屿一侧从海平面上渐渐露出了一片金黄色的小岛，覆盖整座岛屿的都是细细的珊瑚贝壳的碎砂，如同海市蜃楼般的幻境。傍晚，出海捕鱼的渔民回来了，今天的收成不错，光这条红鱼，就足足20多斤重。海水退潮速度很快，原本潜水才能看到的海底逐渐抬出海平面，变成了成片的礁盘，夕阳映射在礁盘上，散发出炫目的金光。退潮后的海水似乎也平静了许多，浪花拍打礁石的节奏也很轻柔，美，要怎么说出口。一天就这样静静的走向结束，坐在礁盘上，遥望北方，家，就在那里！傍晚，在夕阳悄悄躲进地平线以后，夜空亦非平时所云的点点繁星，那种大小不等、交织相连、层次分明的星云恰似一幅立体的抽象三维图案悬挂在天际。海浪早已退去，海风也平静得恍如催眠。整个空间的色彩也由泛黄、金黄、火红、亮紫、暗红在过度。刚才提到今天出海渔民的渔获不错，除了大红鱼和一堆螺外，还有这些貌不惊人的石斑鱼，石斑在内地市场的身价动辄几百一斤。但，在西沙，从渔民手中购买，低廉的价格仿佛回到解放

这段旅行发生在2009年9月底。每次听到马丘比丘都会联想到宫崎骏笔下的《天空之城》。因为马丘比丘（Machu Picchu）也像是一座云中的城堡，海拔2430米。和宫崎骏的Laputa一样，她神秘的隐藏了几百年，只在当地人的传说中提到。直到1911年才被美国耶鲁大学的一位历史学家发现，从而把她带到了西方人的眼中。今天，马丘比丘是南美洲最重要的考古发掘中心，也是秘鲁最受欢迎的旅游景点，每天接待来自世界各地的朝圣者。2007年马丘比丘被评为新世界7大奇迹之一。让我带着你们从古印加帝国的首都库斯科（Cuzco）出发，沿着安第斯山脉中的印加古道，走向神秘的“失落的印加城市”马丘比丘。这次的筹备工作做了很久。秘鲁政府为了保护古迹，限制每天进入印加古道的人数。所以得提前3个月通过网上在一家当地的向导公司预定报名，提前保留进山的许可证。和我同行的是我们登山野营圈的一个朋友，朱哥。其实这次是我把他忽悠来的。我们的飞机先到秘鲁首都利马，到的时候是凌晨4点多。然后入关之后转秘鲁国内的飞机去库斯科（Cuzco）。库斯科是秘鲁西南部的一座海拔3399米的城市，也是古印加帝国的首都。向导公司要求我们必须在进入印加古道之前提前3天入住库斯科，这样可以让身体逐渐适应高海拔的环境。刚下飞机，突然听见音乐声大作。神马情况？只见在库斯科的机场大厅里，一群人穿着当地的民族服装跳起舞来。然后有两个mm来给我们脖子上戴花环。不会是专门为了欢迎我们吧？后来知道是当地旅游局为了欢迎游客搞的。每来一趟班机就跳一场。嘿嘿，虽然不是给我们的专场，但是这热情让我本来困的不行的大脑又兴奋起来。我们入住的旅馆是一个家庭客栈。是我在网上事先订好的。来了之后，发现是个意外的惊喜。原来这个客栈是一个小院别墅改装的。里面的环境非常别致。我们的房间在二楼，从我们的阳台上能看到古城库斯科的全景。小院的布置非常养眼。有花花草草，别致的小桌。客栈里有自己的厨房，餐厅，提供早餐。平时餐厅就是我们的会所，一边喝着可卡Coca树叶泡的茶，一边和店家聊着天。店主人是个德国老头Hinez，退休之后就搬到了这里来。库斯科基本上没有什么工业，全靠旅游业和农业，高原的空气没有被污染。安顿停当，决定出去觅食。天空中下着毛毛雨，我们走在石头铺的街上。找到一家小餐馆。看上去很别致。女招待在给朱哥介绍秘鲁的土豆。原来这里是土豆的发源地，有300多个品种。我饿极了。汤一上来就开喝。这是Alpaca肉做的汤。哈哈，待会儿告诉你们这是神马动物！他家的小面包很好吃。秘诀就是用土制的烤炉来烤面包。请看！哒哒... 库斯科的街上有很多富有特色的小店。很有历史留下的韵味。这些巨石垒砌的墙基透露了昔日帝国首都的辉煌。每块巨石之间结合紧密，几乎没有缝隙。库斯科最辉煌的时候是15世纪，在16世纪初1533年西班牙人入侵之前达到巅峰。当时的印加文化有自己的语言，但是没有文字。印加人高超的建筑术就像他们神秘的文化一样在历史的长河中失传了。至今无人知道这些巨石是从哪里采来的，墙基是如何建造的。市中心的中央广场Plaza de Armas旁边有一个天主教大教堂，是15世纪西班牙人入侵之后建造的。用的石头是把印加人的宗教建筑捣毁之后搬过来的。去向导公司报道交完钱之后，决定找一家好点的餐馆尝尝当地的名菜，烤荷兰猪！对面的这位帅哥的眼神怪怪的。可能是没见过多少中国人吧。这就是著名的烤荷兰猪！吃完之后有点失望，皮有点硬，肉挺少的。在海拔3399米睡了一晚上之后感觉好多了。第二天在库斯科继续适应高原，参观库斯科附近的海拔3701米的萨克塞华曼（Sacsayhuaman）遗址，一个由古代克立人在1100年用巨石修建的伟大建筑。在印加文明来到库斯科之前，克立人是这里的居民。每个石头之间没有水泥或泥浆来粘结，只靠自然的结合。据猜测这是一座军事城堡，但是已经无从考证。当地导游说如果你不知道怎么发音，就念Sexy Woman。哈哈，这下我记住了！很难想象这些大石头就这样，靠着互相之间的支撑挺过了900年。晚上去了一家很有特色的当地小餐馆。当地人的主食中主要是土豆，大米。肉类包括牛肉，Alpaca，鱼等。烤荷兰猪只有在节日的时候吃。招待我们的是一个当地的小伙子，英文名字叫Albert，真名我忘了。现在库斯科的居民由麦士蒂索人－殖民时代外来欧洲人和本地人的混血后代，和当地的安第斯山民组成。真正的印加人随着印加文化的消亡也被同化绝迹了。Albert的祖先是麦士蒂索人。秘鲁和很多南美国家一样受殖民时代的影响，她的官方语言是西班牙语。Albert在荷兰来的义工开的学校里学了英语，能跟我们交流。他听说我们是中国人，非常兴奋！Albert邀请我们从马丘比丘回来后到他的店里来庆祝。进山前的最后一天我们去了当地的一个集市。路上停车休息的时候发现了这种神马！！对，就是咱们网民称之为草泥horse的神兽！这回见到神兽本尊了！其实人家有大名的，左边毛短的叫Llama，驯化后用来当运输工具。（骡子？）中间毛长可爱超萌的叫Alpaca，贡献的是他们身上的毛和肉。他们都是羊驼的一种。无辜的羊驼们，被我们的网民调侃。到了集市自然是一通转悠。两个大老爷们儿逛这里其实很无聊的。MM们应该会很喜欢，因为有很多精美的南美和秘鲁风格的小饰品。哈哈，老爷们儿还是找到了他们喜欢的东西。这种当地的玉米及其美味，粒儿大汁多很嫩。但是卖相不太好看，摊主往上面浇了一砣绿色的稀糊糊的酱。好了打住，你懂的。但是酱的味道很好！朱哥已经迫不及待了！我们当天晚上没有回库斯科，就在印加古道入口外扎营。向导公司提供了帐篷并选好了营地。我们的队伍到齐了。一共是15个徒步者，2个向导，20个协作加厨师。一起晚餐时大家开始互相介绍认识。一晚上安然无事。醒来看到早晨的阳光照在安第斯山脉的雪峰上，山尖在雾气里时隐时现，煞是壮观！这就是印加古道入口的牌子。我们的徒步队伍包括2个中国人，5个美国人，2个匈牙利人，2个新加坡人，2个澳大利亚人，1个英国人，1个来自百慕大。在这里就不一一赘述了。我在路上慢慢介绍。在入口处登记，每个人都要对护照号。如果没有预定，对不起，请回吧。过了桥就是印加古道了。一共是4天的徒步穿越，期间要翻过海拔4200米的隘口。此时的我兴奋无比，马丘比丘，我来啦！一众人等登记完毕，向着遥远的群山进发。我们的向导一边走一边给我们讲解印加古道的历史。很敬业！另一个队伍的协作在我们后面。向导让我们给他们让路，这些协作虽然背了这么多东西，但是任然行走如飞！我们的协作早走在前面去了！在一个路边小店休息。可爱的安第斯小孩，吃着我们送他的薯片。路上的第一天很轻松。大家在吃午饭的帐篷里有说有笑。朱哥要试试协作的自制的背包。他其实有点像当地人，我是指黑的程度。第一天很轻松，我们很快到了过夜的地方。协作已经把营地收拾好，我们就在附近玩咯！我发现2009年的我那时候是个胖纸，还带个小红帽子。同队的澳大利亚女孩Lilly-这里称呼她小莉，要给大家照合影。小莉很会搞怪，结果把大家逗乐，被大家反拍！她曾经是澳大利亚女子手球队的成员。手球在她那里是没人看的运动，找不到赞助。她练手球纯粹是自己的爱好。因为队里没钱，澳大利亚也没有体育总局这样的干爹，所以没能来2008年的北京奥运会。第二天早上起来是个好天。今天的路程很艰苦，要翻越4215米的隘口，就是地图上最高的那点。蓝蓝的天空飘白云啊... 山上的天气说变就变！一下子来了一片云，居然下起了小雨。向导让我们几个走的快的先行，到了隘口之后等着后队。我，同队的新加坡夫妇-Elaine爱玲和Rhys锐思，和美国人David大伟，先到了。之后是大伟的老婆Rachel瑞秋。瑞秋是个护士，大伟是个律师。大伟和瑞秋住在北加州旧金山北边的一个小镇上。喜欢搞怪的小莉。这是她的经典表情。小莉的男盆友Tim提姆。左边是我们的主向导兼队长Juvenal胡文诺-胡哥。两个最年轻的协作，一个19，一个20，忘了他们名字了。走在前面的穿棕色冲锋衣带黄色头巾的是来自纽约大都市的女孩Alison阿狸。阿狸29岁，也是个律师。来自加州首府沙加缅度的Gloria-葛姐。葛姐在加州政府工作。和当时加州州长阿诺施瓦辛格在一层楼里办公。来自匈牙利的帅锅甲-Laszlo拉兹。2008年受金融危机影响没了工作，干脆出来满世界玩。背着各种摄影器材的朱哥。惭愧，俺在2009年是拿着一个卡片机闯天下。其实现在还是卡片。红衣帅锅是来自英国的Stafford-史大福，在纽约市工作。旁边的是他的未婚妻Laura劳拉，来自百慕大。劳拉的父母是英国人，60年代移民到了百慕大。隘口上的合影！胡哥左边的是来自新加坡的小两口爱玲和锐思。他们俩都是干律师的。我们这拨人里律师特别多。在隘口上我们人都在云里，周围雾蒙蒙的。胡哥怕变天，催促我们立刻往下走。大家知道最难的路段已经被我们征服了，心情轻松得下撤去今晚的营地。左起：大伟，葛姐，阿狸，拉兹，瑞秋，匈牙利帅锅乙-忘了名字了。别看大伟的职业是个律师，平时自己训练马拉松和铁人三项。在干律师之前，和朋友一起搞了几年乐队。帅锅乙想不起来是干嘛的了。第三天早上大雾弥漫。我们队旁边是一群初中生。胡哥说学校组织他们来走印加古道，相当于秘鲁的爱国主义教育。树梢上凝聚的水滴，是那么的晶莹透彻！在雾中来到一座古堡。胡哥让我们稍作休息。葛姐是个了不起的女性。50多岁了，有两个孩子，最大的已经19岁。她自己出来走，是我们队里唯一的独行侠。来秘鲁之前已经在墨西哥玩了俩礼拜。葛姐是墨西哥后裔，所以会说西班牙语。多年前父母是非法移民来到加州干农活。葛姐从小吃苦，长大之后考上斯坦福大学。毕业后立志于公共服务，在加州州政府工作。葛姐告诉我州长阿诺喜欢在办公楼里抽雪茄，搞得空气很不好。他们就用德文写了一堆“此处禁止抽烟”的传单贴在楼道里。雾中的印加古堡更增添了神秘感。古堡的下面是一个前哨，相当于咱们中国古城建筑里的卫城。我们的向导胡哥是当地人。在库斯卡一带有10多年的向导经验。胡哥一路上给我们讲解印加文化和历史。每个向导必须在秘鲁首都利马的大学里学习一年，通过考试之后才能拿到上岗证。雾气慢慢的散开。云层就在我们头顶上。如此美景，大家纷纷摆pose，到此一游。小莉还是用她的经典表情。难道这是澳洲女孩们的“剪刀手”？忘了这张是神马情况了。好像是朱哥让我摆拍。山谷中间白色的就是温泉镇。我们将在第四天下午从马丘比丘下到温泉镇，然后坐火车回到库斯科。一路上看到的古堡越来越多，我们知道离神秘的马丘比丘不远了。下山的路上碰到一段很难走的地方。石头台阶又陡峭，又滑。MM们都非常小心。锐思不管他老婆，只管在底下给她照相。爱玲也不抱怨。好像老外女人都挺独立的。终于大家都安全的走下来了。胡哥说我们这个队真是很强。对向导没有太多的依赖性。又见更多的古堡。看来离皇上的行宫不远了。动次，打次，动次，打次，弯弯的河水从天上来，流向那万紫千红一片海。。。哎，不对，2009年的时候还没有神曲呢！哥又穿越了。。。山谷里的河是乌鲁邦巴河，孕育了曾经辉煌的印加文明。我和胡哥在这安第斯山脉中合影一张。第三天的晚餐是厨师给我们做的最后一顿饭。他特意给我们做了个蛋糕。上面的字“Feliz Viaje"是西班牙语旅途愉快的意思。中间的目光呆滞的女孩是Florina-小佛mm，来自纽约市，阿狸的同事，也是个律师。出生在乌克兰，很小的时候随父母来到美国。平时喜欢跑马拉松。这几天由于高反，一直走在队伍的最后，但是也坚持下来了。胡哥给我们下了通知，明天早上要起个大早，赶在日出之前到达Sun Gate -太阳门，俯视被初升的阳光慢慢照亮的马丘比丘。和厨师协作告别之后，赶紧洗洗睡了。第四天早上全队不到5点就起了。天还没亮，只有朦朦的星光。在去Sun Gate太阳门的路上，看到日出前的晨光。胡哥催促大家加快步伐。印加人把太阳门修建在一个山脊上。如果天气晴朗，从那里可以俯视到马丘比丘的全景。我们到达时，太阳正在从我们背后的群山之中升起，轻轻地掀起马丘比丘神秘的面纱。我队伍一众人等开始准备好拍照。哒哒。。。晨光下的马丘比丘！有点日照金山的感觉。可惜我当时只有一个卡片，没法完美得带回那壮观的瞬间。远处安第斯山脉中的一座雪峰在云层中时隐时现。胡哥开始催促我们抓紧时间。从太阳门下到马丘比丘还有2个小时路程。我赶紧摆个pose，让朱哥抓了一张。队长发话了，“Come on！Let's go！” 快点！大家出发了！大家可能会想，这么显眼的建筑怎么会隐藏这么久没被发现呢？我当时也有这个疑问。胡哥告诉我，马丘比丘在1911年之前被茂密的植被覆盖着，而且经常大雾笼罩。除了当地山民，外来的人很难察觉到在这样的崇山峻岭中还有一个古老的城市。我们队今早能看到晨光下的马丘比丘，是很幸运的。很多时候山上有雾或者下雨。上传网上的两张1911年拍的马丘比丘照片，可以看到树木和藤条把这座古城包裹了起来。我越来越觉得马丘比丘和宫崎骏笔下的天空之城有很多相似之处。经过4天的跋涉，我们终于到了！有经验的胡哥给我们挑了一个好地方。说是很多明信片就是在这个地方拍的。This is the postcard spot! 于是大家纷纷合影，摆pose！胡哥摆了个金刚的pose。我摆了个山寨阿诺的pose。胡哥是个敬业的好向导，而且知识丰富。来张合影吧。真是天公作美。我们是很幸运的一队！看到马丘比丘背后的那个山峰了吗？她叫Wayna Picchu 瓦纳比丘，比马丘比丘高360米。我和朱哥商量好了要爬到那上面去。(

旅行回来一周了，印度的高温让我感觉格外疲惫，即使现在每天的天气预报都说国内如何如何的高温，在我感觉，也是很凉快了，重要的是随处都感受到空调。空调在印度可真的是奢侈品啊~ 印度的攻略网上已经有很多了，比萨就不再详细写了，只把旅行一路的见闻与感受写出来，希望大家能更多的了解印度，这个神奇的国度~ 除了机票是提前预订的，火车票是在印度现买的，旅馆是走到哪里在哪里找，这些都是没有提前预订的。比萨也没有带任何的攻略，没有LP，没有地图。去印度之前，很多人和我说不要喝当地的水，要买瓶装水，不要吃路边摊。但是我都没做到，我和印度人一样去水管接水喝，吃路边摊，也没有拉肚子，也没有发烧感冒，只是热的起了痱子。也印证了我强大的小强精神，身体好的hold不住啊~ 这次的印度旅行，我最要感谢的是随遇而安，整个印度之行，给了我很大的帮助。在没有地图，没有LP的旅途中，全靠随遇而安的后方支持了。还有旅行途中碰到的躺着也中枪，padman，广州女生小黄，mettar，路人菜菜菜，七七。。。他们都给了我很多帮助。我也很感谢印度人民，有提醒我注意坏人的，在我火车没有铺位的时候分给我一个床的，给我免费升AC车厢的，免费吃住的金庙~~印度的行程：金奈——新德里——阿格拉——新德里——阿姆利泽——斋普尔——乌代浦尔——斋普尔——瓦拉纳西——加尔各答马来西亚行程：吉隆坡——槟城——兰卡威——槟城——吉隆坡91楼新德里

9-pid-20688443.html机票：这次旅行是两个国家，印度和马来西亚。去年10月亚航大促的时候买的廉价机票。深圳——吉隆坡，吉隆坡往返印度，吉隆坡往返槟城，吉隆坡——天津，一共6飞，合成人民币是2200元。后来吉隆坡取消了天津航线，免费改到了吉隆坡——北京。证：印度的证是在淘宝上找的代办，680元。虽然代办费用比实际证费用多出100多，但是我不用去北京，比请假再往返北京，费用要省，所以选择代办。当时就提供了工作证明，和1万的资金证明（6个月）还有护照，其他的都是由代办准备了。十几天就下来了。马来西亚我没有证，去印度之前在LCCT只呆了一个晚上，过境，回来的时候，又在马来西亚呆了5天，不到120小时，所以也是过境。所以马来西亚的证费用省下了。火车：在印度我全程选的都是SL，没有空调，但是印度火车的门、窗都是敞开的，而我选的所有火车都是夜车，所以火车开起来的时候，还是很凉快的。而且SL的票价要比AC3便宜太多了，这也是选择SL的原因。轮船：买机票的时候，由于功课没有做好，买的是吉隆坡往返槟城的，其实应该买吉隆坡——槟城，兰卡威——吉隆坡。所以槟城到兰卡威买的往返船票。公交：印度大城市也是有很多公交的，但是不报站，不过天气太热，我大部分还是选择坐TUTU的。买机票的时候考虑买深圳到吉隆坡，是想可以去香港玩玩，但是真到出发，才发现根本没那么多时间。但是可恶的深圳机场到底还是让我去了香港。我到深圳市坐火车过去的，是住的沙发客，住在南山区，离地铁很近。我也是第一次去深圳的宝安机场，原以为飞国际的航站楼是B楼，结果发现不是，找来找去在最偏远的地方，找到了一个二层小楼，这时候离飞机起飞还剩40分钟。亚航是提前45分钟的，就这5分钟只差，让我对宝安机场及人员，失望透顶。我进去的时候，那边的工作人员，在那里玩手机，我和他讲，我迟到了，因为航站楼很难找。那几个人连眼皮都没抬一下，说“飞机都已经飞走了，你自己的原因有什么办法，再买一张票好了”。我和他们讲，让他们帮忙想想办法，看看能不能进去，他们直接说，“大家都很忙啊，快中午了，都下班吃饭去了，哪里还有人啊，没人给人换登机牌，安检了” 我当时心里那个气啊，说的容易，你的钱是挣得，我的钱是大风刮来的吗。是我迟到了，但用不着这样吧，什么下班吃饭，飞机飞走了，从来只听过飞机晚点，没听过飞机提前起飞的。还有40分钟，这时飞机连舱门还没开呢，飞个屁啊~ 为了不耽误之后的行程，我买了一张香港——吉隆坡的机票，（亚航的廉价机票，改费用比重新买一张还要贵，当时最便宜的就是从香港飞吉隆坡了）。从宝安机场有直接到香港机场的大巴，过关后换成小车，直接送到机场。PS：如果有别国证，用护照可直接过关，不需要港澳通行证。香港机场LCCT去印度金奈LCCT要穿越机场，自己走上飞机~飞机上看金奈金奈机场在金奈机场换了20美金，机场汇率太低了，而且还要手续费，20美金才换了950卢比，很让人郁闷。不过我在印度，都没换到较高的汇率，可能我比较衰吧。在加尔各答听路人菜菜菜说，她最高的时候100美金换了5800卢比，5555~~我最高就换到5500卢比，损失大了！在出机场的门口，可以看见一个简易地图，上面写着如何到地铁站，上面写的是地铁，不过就是在上面跑的，也没看见是在地下跑。一出机场，我就有一种明星走红地毯的感觉，那叫万众瞩目啊，印度人看你是外国人，都不措眼珠子的看你。我兜兜转转问了好几个人，才确定那个地铁站的方向，因为我也不知道是出了机场就左拐，还是到马路左拐。不过走着走着就看到火车了。车票6卢比，到埃各莫尔站。出了埃各莫尔车站，在街的对面有很多旅馆，但是金奈的旅馆相比北印是比较贵的，所以我走了2个小时都没有找到便宜又干净旅馆，总之和想象中的有差距。这个时候已经是印度的中午了，也就是国内的下午，印度和中国有2个半小时的时差。背着大包的我又累又饿，所以决定还是先吃饭再做别的打算。打了一辆TUTU到金奈火车站，因为我要买金奈——德里的火车票。TUTU一定要和司机讲价啊，他跟我说120卢比，我划价到60卢比。后来到北印，才发现60卢比很贵了~这是我在印度吃的第一顿饭，Biryani。饭下面是一个鸡腿和鸡蛋，另外点了一杯chai，一共是85卢比。合人民币10块钱吧。（人民币和卢比，是18点多）金奈火车站是有外国人售票办公室的，在售票厅的二楼。我去的时候刚开始没注意挂着的牌子，然后问那边的保安，他们告诉我在三楼，我严重怀疑他们根本听不懂英语，不懂装懂。在三楼找了一圈没找到。到二楼，抬头就看到了提示牌，推门直接走进办公室，里面的工作人员，服务态度很好。问我要去哪里，什么时候的车，坐哪种车厢。一开始我想着，从金奈到德里，33个小时，印度又这么热，还是买AC3吧，结果只剩WL了，只有AC2，票价2280卢比，感觉太贵了。于是坚持买了SL，那个女的一直说，SL不适合我，太热了，但是我还是坚持要做SL，我告诉她，AC2对我来说，太贵了~事实证明，SL我还是能忍受的，没有想象中那么恐怖。比我在国内坐那种没有空调的普快凉快多了！买完车票，我决定去Mahabalipuram,离金奈市区60公里，有公交588，588B，588C通往那里。票价是85卢比，不过随遇而安和我说，他去的时候是70卢比，可能是没有空调的缘故吧。找公交588B可费劲了，我就围着车站走啊走啊的，终于在快要崩溃的时候找到了一个大的公交车站，也终于有一个人懂英文，直接把我带到了588B车的前面。超感激那个小男生。金奈火车站附近的交警，在罚钱，呵呵~路上看见有人在游行演讲，估计是拥护哪个政党吧。到玛玛拉普兰下车不要再附近找旅馆，往海边的方向走，快走到海边的时候，有很多GUEST HOUSE，我之前也没有看LP，随便找了一家看上去很新的住了进去。墙壁院子都是新粉刷的。我要了一个离露台近的房间，300卢比。不过我在印度第一次被骗，也是在这家。我给店主500卢比，他没有找给我，说是要开摩托带我逛景点。我想着天气热，200卢比也不多（我还在用卢比换人民币），于是就答应了。他也确实带我逛了景点，我进去，他就在景区门口等着。后来他又说附近有个鳄鱼公园很好玩，结果开到半路，他说他的摩托没有油了，需要加油，要300卢比。我本来是不想给的，但是这路上这么荒凉，他要给我扔路上，我都不知道怎么回去，就在加油站给了300卢比。后来到了北印，才知道500卢比是个什么概念，懊悔死我了，其实我当时强硬的不给他钱加油，也不会怎么样的，谁让咱第一次来印度呢~大家以后去印度，一定要提高警惕，印度商人的骗人伎俩~我就住在这家清晨房间我在印度除KEC吃过的最贵的一顿饭，一盘面条200卢比，刚到印度不了解物价~清晨的海边玛玛拉普兰姆面对孟加拉湾，夜晚这里凉风习习，完全感觉不到白天的烈日炎炎。我躺在露台的吊床上睡着了。我在印度唯有这一次睡在外面被蚊子咬了，之后发现印度很神奇的没有蚊子！会不会都给热死了？这里有很多世界文化遗产的遗址，票价是250卢比，可以看两个。印度人只需要10卢比就可以参观了~海岸神庙Shore Temple刚到金奈很不习惯印度的灰尘吹到脸上的感觉，第一时间选择纱巾，不过后来习惯了，没再带过纱巾~比萨自己一个人走印度，没人给拍照，印度人的拍照水平实在很难恭维，还好带了一个自拍杆旁遮达拉Pancha Rathas这个是那个旅店的小老板带我到的一个景点，免费的，所以我也不知道这个景点的名字，就是一个巨大的岩石~不知道是不是传说中的变色龙，在树上经常看到~可爱的印度小孩，无论男孩女孩腰上都会有个腰链，在火车上遇到过一个，材质就像那种钢丝锁~印度人超喜欢金光闪闪的东西，所以无论男女都喜欢佩戴首饰~我从金奈到德里的火车是晚上10点多了，所以我5点多退房。印度南部的旅馆大部分是24小时的，不用中午12点退房。按照我的估计6点坐大巴回金奈坐火车时来的及的，不过回金奈时坐的588C，而且又是金奈的下半高峰，让我小紧张了一把~从玛玛拉普兰姆——金奈有588、588B、588C，我来的时候是在火车站附近乘的588B，所以回去的时候我理所当然的认为588C也应该是到火车站附近，结果售票员告诉我588C并不到火车站，但是我可以到金奈市区换车，他到时会叫我。当时我以为他说的是公交，所以下车就一直在找公交车站，后来问人才知道原来是他们的城铁，就是在上面跑的地铁，而地铁站也是在一个大楼里面。这个地铁站真的很让我长见识，进去看就像一个没有完工的超市，空旷，只有柱子。随着人流找到了售票窗口，问他们要去火车站，在哪一站下。结果卖票的都不太懂英文，这是过来一个警察，他的英文不错，就在纸上给我画了一个地铁的路线图，写上了每一个站的名字，告诉我在parkdown这站下车，让我数着站，因为地铁不报站。我感叹我遇到了好民警！站台是在三楼，下班高峰，印度男人真的是多啊。我就在看不到头的男人群中，寻找印度女人。终于让我发现了小部分印度女人，兴奋，有一种找到组织的兴奋！谁会想一个人和几十号男人挤在一个车厢。印度人的味道，你懂的~即使是女士车厢，也是挤不动。十几节车厢，就这么一节坐女人，可想而知有多挤了，而且是没有车门的，车速也不慢，我可真是不敢靠外站，怕给挤下去，赶紧跑到车厢最中间，才会感觉有安全感。我发现不但数学学的不好，记忆力也不好。没几站，我就不记得数到第几站了，然后赶紧问周围的女生。因为公交路上堵车，再加上找地铁站，此时已经9点半了，我很担心我下了车，是不是还有很远的路才能到火车站。而且我是第一次坐印度火车，真怕找不到车，深圳机场给我的阴影太大了~还好有个女生，英语发音超级准，她跟我说，到站会叫我的。等到下车的时候，又有一个女生主动说，她要路过火车站，让我跟着她走，不用搭任何的车，出了地铁就能看见火车站，她可以直接把我送到火车站。而她确实把我送到了火车站的大厅，再次感叹，运气好，碰到好人了！女士车厢，手机在晃动的车厢里拍的，有些抖，我实在腾不出手去拿相机~当火车站的时候10点左右吧，然后就在液晶屏幕上找我的车次，但是并没有显示在哪个站台。然后就拿着车票问身旁的一个男生，我那趟车在哪个站台。他告诉我要看液晶屏，他也正目不转睛的盯着屏幕看，我就看见他的汗就顺着脸流啊流的，胳膊也在流汗，我才发现我自己也是这样，一点不夸张的说长这么大都没出过这么多的汗。过了一会儿，哥们儿的车可能是进站了，就和我说，现在你的车还没来，不知道哪个站台，你要站在这里不要动，看着屏幕，那上面会有显示。我点点头，心说，还不让动，等他走了，我还是四处转转，因为有些饿了。买了一杯牛奶，因为实在是奶香四溢，才10卢比，买了一个油炸的不知道什么东西沾酱吃。人饿的时候，是不会管吃的东西叫什么的。给我的感觉就是放了好几天的干饼，划嗓子，不喝水是咽不下去的！终于我的车次在屏幕上显示了，就往站台走，这个时候还不知道看站台的小液晶屏，上面有车厢号，可以走到相应的车厢号那里等车。我一路问的走到了S3车厢的位置，车来的时候也正好停在这里。当我放下背包的时候，整件T恤已经全湿了，贴在身上都变透明了，哈哈~我这一路只有一次是中铺，还被调到了AC，整个行程全部是上铺。这也是我买车票是特别要求的，在填表的时候都会写上UB。原因很简单，第一安全，可以把行李放到上铺，时刻看着行李，我没买链锁，太沉。第二，上车就可以躺着，中铺平常事放下来的，大家都坐在下铺，所以中铺和下铺不可以随意躺着。侧铺下铺窗子一直开着，我可不想嘴被吹歪了，侧上铺过道的电扇吹不到，很闷~所以对于我最理想的就是上铺。上车简单洗脸就睡了，正好有三个电扇冲着我吹，晚上还是蛮舒服的~当然是对我而言，怕热，怕人多的还是不要尝试。车厢车厢印度的火车可以充电，AC车厢很多，SL就再车厢的尽头，这张是手机充电的时候拍的。车晃，手机拍的也不清楚~早上是被饿醒的，吃了一个盒饭Biryani，35卢比，但是辣的很奇怪，没吃完。又买了一个面包三明治，这才吃饱。可能是天气太热的缘故，吃完就觉得困，又接着睡，直到把我热醒。正好是中午，外面吹进来的都是热风，我在上铺感觉都像在锅里，衣服全都贴在身上。因为印度女人不能露腿的，所以一直都是穿长裤。从包里找出短裤、吊带换上，我才不管什么不能露胳膊露腿的呢。从这天起，我就开始每天都喝一瓶藿香正气水。在印度期间没感冒，没拉肚子，没中暑，只长了痱子，也算奇迹了。换完衣服上铺是不能去了，太热，然后一群90后的印度小兵就坐着和我聊天，要求我给他们拍照，还要和我合照，呵呵。还有印度的大叔也要与我照相，总之，在太阳没下山之前，我又困了，继续爬上去睡觉。([]

2012年6月2日，又逢周六，天气阴，我决定从河北省邢台市邢台县西黄村镇的前马厂村翻山越岭到后青峪村再到上马庄最后到邢台县皇寺。早8点我从前马厂村北侧开始上山，到皇寺正好中午12点。嗨，一边登山一边听自己喜欢的音乐，那种感觉真的超爽超美妙哦，现在我爬山的感觉很爽，脚步轻快，如同走在平路上一样。上山下山都没有一丝累的感觉。朋友都说佩服我的毅力，其实，登山并不需要毅力，而是一种爱好，一种享受，我爱登山！人生是一次登山，沿途有擦肩而过的荆棘刺痛，有粗砺的山岩的拌脚，但这一切均无损于山的光明磊落，山的坦荡忠诚。　　人们常常抱怨登山道路的坎坷，登山路途的遥远，害怕山中的荆棘和山岩。弱者在山的前面俯首臣服，不敢上前；强者不畏艰难险阻，涉水翻山。在翻越了大山之后，我发现：原来成功在山后。　　山险固然可怕，山路固然难走。但人们同时也应想到：登山道路周围的景色是何等之秀美，有青山翠树的美景，有极目远望的无限风光，有鸟儿婉转的歌唱声，有泉水叮咚的悦耳声。　　其实，我们可以换个角度去看待山。为什么不把山看作是磨练自己的工具呢？一路登山，一路欣赏美景，一路磨练自己。待翻越了大山，成功也就在你的前面了。　　生活中的困难是一座座的山，要想取得成功，你就必须不怕坎坷曲折，不惧山高路远，努力拼搏，战胜困难。也许你会有“山重水复疑无路”的感觉，也许你会感到精疲力尽，也许你心中会升起后退的念头，但是，“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能“。你应该认识到成功就在困难的后面，只要你鼓起风帆，坚持到底，终会到达成功的彼岸。　　成功，永远在山的后面，牵引着人一生不息的脚步，风霜雪雨，一路踉呛赶去。只有走过一生泥泞的道路，才能摘到芬芳艳丽的成功之花! 行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！见到的红布条，路！很亲切！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！遇到一群驴友！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！上马庄村天真孩童！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！上马庄村！沿途见到的红布条，路！很亲切！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！看到了棋盘山！行走在前马厂村—皇寺的山路上！见到的红布条，路！很亲切！([]
