《太荒吞天诀》

陈信瑶

关于牧高笛行无界“行·无界”——户外爱好者的世界旅行，是牧高笛发展十周年推出的主活动。在世界各地，户外爱好者分享登山、徒步、旅行、露营、越野跑等各种户外运动方式带来的愉悦体验；在不同的地形及气候条件下，牧高笛的服装及装备都能为户外爱好者带来最专业的保护。2012年启动尼泊尔站，2013年非洲站，2014年新西兰站，2015年牧高笛将继续探索这个世界。行走的心，无界的景。如果你的户外经验足够丰富、如果你的摄影技术足够高超，如果你有一颗环游世界永不止步的探索之心，请关注牧高笛官方微信：【牧高笛户外服装】，提交您的使者申请。关于老虎和孜孜老虎（李松涛）：资深户外爱好者，2000年开始接触户外，随后专业从事户外工作，曾任中国登山协会户外委员会常委，深圳市登山协会秘书长。自助旅行与摄影爱好者，2005年曾独自背包从西藏出发，在尼泊尔，印度，巴基斯坦等国家旅行半年，出版画册《从喜马拉雅到喀喇昆仑》。孜孜（陆立成）：专栏作家，自由摄影师，自助旅行爱好者。大学毕业后从事了数年外贸工作，慢慢爱上了旅行与摄影，足迹遍布欧美，东南亚数十个国家。与老虎结合后离职到深圳，成为一名自由摄影师。2013年6月14日，老虎和孜孜从乌鲁木齐出发，开始他们的800天环球旅行计划。首站俄罗斯，一个月之后到达北欧，接着一路向南完成三个月的欧洲旅行。完成北半球冬天来临之前的最后一站土耳其之后，在环球之旅的第175天，他们作为“2014牧高笛行无界新西兰站”的使者来到了新西兰。在新西兰的45天里，他们租了辆小车，全程几乎都选择营地住宿，用最亲近自然的方式领略了新西兰的魅力。前往库克山路上漫山遍野的鲁冰花，凯库拉憨萌的海豹，亚伯塔斯曼绝美的海滨徒步，西海岸会跳舞的雨林风貌，米尔福德峡湾悬挂的数百条小瀑布，《霍比特人》众多的拍摄地，等等，都是一路捡获的美好。世界已经够美好，他们并不刻意冒险猎奇，只是背着相机，旅行节奏放到最慢，一路向前一路看。最终，希望能在地球上划过一个圈。每个人最终都会选择自己适合的方式生活，老虎与孜孜，他们选择自由，对世界的热爱和听从内心的声音。了解更多的精彩旅程，请关注——新浪微博：老虎孜孜800天环游地球微信公众账号：老虎孜孜800天环游地球文/孜孜图/老虎孜孜假如你已经不是预算有限又没有驾照的学生族，来到新西兰应该做的第一件事是什么知道吗？租一辆车！即使预算有限，也不是什么大问，不要理会AVIS，HERTZ之类的大家伙，找一间当地的租车公司，最好是新开业的，一辆1.6L排量的三菱自动挡小车，开来环岛完全没问，一天租金才32新元！再找上两三个人拼车，如果恰巧你们当中有驾驶经验丰富的司机，可以考虑只上最基本的保险（请慎重考虑），这样加上油费，每天移动的开销控制在80-90新元之内是完全没有问的。什么？听不懂，不知道我在说什么？！那快快认真把这篇介绍好好看完噢。你应该知道的新西兰新西兰是个岛国（有人不知道的吗？），它有一个很美好的毛利语名字：长白云之乡。主岛分为南岛和北岛两大块，周边一些小岛，比如斯图尔特岛，是新西兰最好的观鸟天堂。全国总人口大概是450万人，半数以上都聚集在北岛奥克兰，惠灵顿等大城市，而南岛大概只有1/4不到的人口。这世上大概存在着一个普遍的真理，美景总是跟人迹罕至相关联。人类活动痕迹稀少的地方，总能保持着原始的惊人的美貌，所以集冰川，草原，火山，湖泊，森林，牧场和大海为一体的南岛相对来说比较受青睐。作为世界上最年轻的移民城市，新西兰的人口差不多70%都是欧洲移民，绝大多数来自英国，爱尔兰，15%左右是毛利人后裔，以及华裔和其他太平洋人民。欧裔的新西兰人民基本都持神奇牌英式口音，并且语速奇快。到达皇后镇的第一天在旅馆办入住，当前台放完一通他的机关枪，我和同屋的美国姑娘Susan一起惊呆了……一个字也没听懂。新西兰人民的生活水平在去年公布的联合国人类发展指数中排名第6，这是几个意思呢？这么说吧：新西兰数量众多的农场主，地盘基本是按山头来算的。他们家门口的“迎宾道”都上几公里长，两旁长满豪气牌参天大树。由于热爱生活和美，几乎家家庭院都种上美好的花朵，随时营造一种童话氛围。因为没有大型猛兽的威胁，岛屿生活让动物们普遍温顺但智商低下，寻常的羊啊牛啊都冒着可爱的傻泡。当然了，农场主们需要担心生活，也有不开心的时候，但他们的生活普遍简单充实，更贴近自然，所以内心也比较富足。历史上大部分时候，新西兰都地广人稀，因此人们可以舒适的住在独栋的房子里。但今天，无论冬夏，几乎所有人都是户外狂。朋友Hamish，是位年轻的Multi-Sport player，他的人生就是做运动，他全家的也是做运动……爸爸妈妈哥哥跟他一样，全年都在训练以及参加各种户外赛事，乐在其中。这种情况比比皆是，新西兰优异的户外条件和氛围，是户外人士的天堂。大自然的火山运动加上海岛气候，使得新西兰几乎具备了一个大陆所能具备的所有景观，再也找不出第二个地方风景变换如此多样，还地广人稀，还文明友善，还安全卫生，还对徒步，运动，旅游规划得如此精细。如此，面对令人垂涎欲滴的新西兰，你只好在心中呐喊一句：该！怎么！玩啊？！！新西兰游玩思路Well, well, well……前面我说了，只要情况允许，无论如何你得有一辆车。地广人稀的意思，就是公共交通不发达。新西兰也用不着发达，它的汽车普及率是全球第二，许多家庭都拥有一辆以上的汽车，而稍远一点的地方，就坐发达的国内航线飞过去了，飞机场跟中国大城市的汽车站一般大小。新西兰可以玩的东西很多，随意列举：水里的——冲浪，漂流，皮划艇，观鲸观海豹，潜水，钓鱼，游轮空中的——跳伞，滑翔伞，蹦极，观光飞行陆地的——自驾，观星，徒步，登山，或者干脆什么也不干，仍是一种舒服的玩法列出我们南北岛30天自驾所去过的地方给大家做参考：南岛——1、MountCook库克山库克山是我们南岛自驾的第一站，来这里的人几乎都会去Hooker Valley track胡克谷步道做往返3小时的徒步。只有走在这条徒步小路上才能完整的看到库克山。四周雪山高耸，路边开着各种鲜花，路过冰湖与吊桥，到达库克山脚下的冰湖后，我们一直等到太阳下山才往回走，是那天最晚离开库克山脚下的游客，回营地的途中，黑暗里看不清路的兔子乱窜，差点撞到我们脚上来。 2、Lake Tekapo蒂卡普湖由于经纬度的关系，Lake Tekapo是南半球最适合观星的地方。除此之外被高耸入云的南阿尔卑斯山环绕的蒂卡普湖是拥有绿宝石般清澈湖水的高山湖泊，景色美得让人窒息。我们并没有专门去找坐落于湖边的牧羊人教堂，而是把车停在树荫下，悠哉的煮起了面吃。吃完准备打个盹，一群鸭子跑到车门前打招呼：不好意思，我们要睡觉了，没工夫social噢。3、阿卡罗阿借宿在友人位于普劳湾的房子里，在一个下雨天翻山越岭的去传说中很像法国小镇的阿卡罗阿看看。由于火山喷发形成的圆形半岛上，山路起伏多弯，雨水并不能遮掩既壮丽又秀美的景色。一路美景相伴，走走停停，开三四个小时到达阿卡罗阿已经不是最重要的目的了，喝上一杯咖啡稍作休息，又往回开进美景中。4、凯库拉凯库拉是南岛著名看鲸鱼和海豹的小镇，当沿着1号公路向北开时，注意路边出现画着海豹的警示，就可以挑地方停车了。有时候顽皮的海豹们会跑到靠近路边的草丛里，当我们靠近，它们就侧着头看上好一阵才跑回海边的礁石。南岛还有别的地方也能看到海豹，但能这么近距离接触的，凯库拉是首选。5、亚伯塔斯曼国家公园亚伯塔斯曼国家公园是新西兰最适合做海边徒步的地方之一，公园内有一条很有名的步行道叫做Abel Tasman Coast Track，全程55.2公里，走完需要3-5天，水上的士停靠在沿途许多沙滩。我们计划走3天，完成2/3的路程，徒步时很长一部分时间是行走在长满巨大蕨类植物的海滨雨林小道，隔一段能看到湛蓝的美丽海景，每天正常人4小时的脚程被爱拍照的我们走成6小时，不知不觉三天过去了，坐水上的士1小时就回到三天前的起点。1小时=3天。但如果不是慢慢的徒步，决然领略不到新西兰如此海岸美景。6、西海岸风光来过新西兰的人，十有八九都说西海岸美。到底是怎么样的美呢？塔斯曼海面吹来的暖气流被南岛中部的高山拦截，形成绵绵不绝的雨水，于是整个西海岸都是一派雨林气息，这里树干长着漂亮青苔的高大树木会跳舞，由于海风的关系，又集体被吹斜到一边，蕨类则铺满低一层的地面。羊群，牛群和鹿群见惯了常年堆积的迅速变幻的雨云，面对我们对这般景色的连连惊叹，始终都是很淡定。 7、 Franz Josef Glacier & Fox Glacier冰川探险是南岛旅游的重头戏，Franz Josef 冰川在毛利语中叫做“雪崩女孩的眼泪”。Fox冰川全长13公里，汇集了四座高山冰河的降雪。冰川徒步是游玩Franz Josef冰川和Fox冰川的最佳方式。可以在当地报名参加徒步冰川探险项目，也可以参加直升机之旅来领略新西兰最高的几大山峰的壮丽美景。但我们觉得新西兰这两号冰川略小，打着以后去巴基斯坦做冰川徒步的算盘，远远的跟它们打了声招呼就开往了下一站。8、Mount Aspiring National Park阿斯帕林山国家公园从西海岸开往Wanaka的道路必须穿过阿斯帕林国家公园，这座生长着茂密的新西兰特有的雨林树木的国家公园惊人的美！车子行驶在密林中间，我们总是有一种穿越的感觉，希望一直这么开下去不要到达终点。阿斯帕林国家公园里也有很棒的徒步路线，但我们并不打算停留，因为多雨气候的缘故，路面常有塌方事件，所以我们必须在封路之前穿过。车子一开出山区，豁然开朗，我们就知道美妙的雨林已经在我们身后了，由于阿斯帕林这些高山挡住了雨水，我们前方的平原夕阳正浓，开到哈威亚湖时，一条前所未有的鲜亮彩虹骑在湖面，高兴的与我们相见。9、Wanaka瓦纳卡湖Wanaka湖上太适合做各种水上运动了，买个大冰激凌往草地上一坐，就可以欣赏水上飞人项目（风筝冲浪者），人们三三两两的坐在一起享受夏日，假如你想喂海鸥，把食物往空中抛会帮助你喂得更拉风一点，三五十只海鸥会张开翅膀聚拢在食物能抛到的领域，尽量在空中保持平衡与静止，同时又以最快的速度争抢食物。10、Oamaru奥玛鲁奥玛鲁（Oamaru）又叫“企鹅镇”，有新西兰特有的黄眼企鹅和世界上最小的企鹅，蓝眼企鹅。在奥马鲁游客中心，有一个小花园是公园为企鹅搭建的，可以通过小窗口了解企鹅孵蛋，当然是收费的。我们尽量赶在企鹅归巢之前到达营地扎好帐篷，先赶去看归家较早的黄眼企鹅，再去看夜幕降临之后才归家的蓝眼企鹅。蓝眼企鹅才巴掌这么大，萌翻了……11、Moeraki摩拉基Moeraki Boulders公园需要自觉往入口处的钱箱中投入2新币，海滩上散布着许多摩拉基巨石，极其圆，还有像蛋黄一样的石心。网上查到退潮时间是早上，到达的时候已经聚集了很多游客，大家变着各种法儿与石头合影，在上面蹲的跳的，钻到石头缝里假装悟空的…… 12、Dunedin但尼丁Dunedin是南岛第二大城市，也是Otago地区首府。这里曾是新西兰最富有的城市，有很多富有历史感的建筑。从古典维多利亚建筑的火车站开始，沿着城内步行道就可以开始但尼丁建筑遗产之旅。St Clair海滩很适合等待日落，也可以背着冲浪板挑战这里的海浪。Dunedin也是吉百利巧克力工厂的总部所在地，目前已经开放成为游乐园性质的博物馆，据说电影《查理的巧克力工厂》就由此得到灵感。在这里不仅可以了解巧克力的历史，亲自体验吉百利的色香味，还能见到壮观的巧克力瀑布。但我们大部分时间都花在半岛上，先跑去皇家信天翁基地探望了威风的信天翁们，又贼心不死的在落日之前赶去桑德弗莱湾，穿过海滩走到半山腰的小木屋，继续看黄眼企鹅。13、Nugget Point纳吉特角从纳吉特角停车场走20分钟，就可以看到陡峭山岬上设的灯塔，岸边不远散布着很多岩石小岛。海豹们休息在岩石上，不过都离得太远。倒是有许多鸟，成双成对的疾飞嬉戏，练习飞翔。新西兰虽美却气候恶劣，但无论如何对于生活在这里的动物而言，没有人类过多的打扰，只需要面对自然界的挑战，总是幸运的。14、Slope Point斜坡角天哪，这里的风大得啊！到达真正的Slope Point，需要从停车场经过私家农场的Track小路，步行20分钟。前往时最后一半的路程，完全是风推着我们走。而快要到达终点立牌的地方时，是无论如何也无法走直线了，稍有不慎人就被风吹着跑。一开始觉得冷哆哆嗦嗦，后来被风吹嗨了，我们都张开双臂像鸟儿一样逆风往前冲，笑声跟我们本人一样跌跌撞撞的被风吹散，足足吹了快半小时，过足了瘾才往回走。15、Bluff小镇哎，今年的生蚝节是5月14号。看到路边的大招牌，大口大口的咽口水。Bluff，新西兰最南端的小镇，出产被誉为世界上最美味的生蚝。好想吃啊好想吃啊！非生蚝季不推荐来这里，会被馋坏的……16、Te Anau蒂阿瑙湖蒂阿瑙湖就像一块湛蓝的宝石。在i-site隔壁，可以在RealJourney公司报名乘坐游船前往Glowworm Caves（萤火虫洞）。17、Milford Sound米尔福德峡湾南岛自驾途中我们最期待的一个地方之一。从西海岸拐向Wanaka之后，米尔福德峡湾是唯一再能看到雨林美景的地方了。汽车开过一段幽暗隧道，一出隧道口，270度环绕的群山，下雨的关系，大概每隔十米就有一两米宽的小瀑布，从山顶倾泻而下，几乎上百道之多。完全就是现实版的《霍比特人》里精灵居住的地方。我们每隔一小段距离就停车拍照，希望长焦能拉到一两只精灵，向住在这里的它们表达诚挚的羡慕！ 18、皇后镇皇后镇大概是新西兰最出名的地方之一了。Remarkables山脉，天台餐厅，观星，跳伞，蹦极……它集美景和各种户外极限运动体验地于一身，每个来南岛的人大概都不会错过它，以及镇上永远排满长队的Fergburger（大汉堡）。我们走在湖边拍照，一个吉他手卖命的演唱着，他的吉他盒上写着：为Fergburger！北岛——1、奥克兰奥克兰作为北岛自驾的出发地，是新西兰最大的城市，经济文化中心，新西兰的门户。这里有美丽的海港和岛屿，有着“风帆之都”的美名。周围的山峦尽是热带雨林风貌，有许多休眠火山。虽然奥克兰是新西兰人口最多的城市，但喧闹和拥挤却与这里无关，这里是宁静而迷人的城市。虽然奥克兰有很多可以去的地方，但由于时间关系，我们租好车后直接出城往南开去。2、霍比屯一直以为自己是《魔戒》《霍比特人》的死忠粉，结果听一位当地大叔说他们这里有人看了50遍霍比特人！这个人真的不是放电影的工作人员吗？！所以霍比屯，也就是电影里霍比特人的故乡夏尔的拍摄地，对我们来说还是有吸引力的。但是由于建在私人农场里，必须买票组团进入，限制了自由。而电影拍完之后明显疏于维护，菜园里的紫包菜，都长得有洗澡盆那么大了！我们还是把最美好的印象留在电影里吧…… 3、罗托鲁瓦想要了解毛利人的文化，这个城市是最好的选择。毛利文化村提供3个半小时的文化体验之旅，可以去看看关于毛利人的一切。但当我们赶到时，所有的团都订满了。正在消亡的毛利文化，是资本主义扩张的罪恶，也是一段忧伤的故事。4、怀基蒂地热公园罗托鲁瓦到怀基蒂这一片区域，到处都有地热现象，并不一定需要买门票进地热公园。我们就在一个不停冒热泡泡的泥巴池边上待了好久。但如果想看地热喷泉，就花钱买上门票去离地热公园开车还有20分钟的地方去，记住喷发时间是早上10点。 5、陶波湖Taupo湖是新西兰最大的内陆湖。湖光山色，美不胜收。我们在一块高地停车架好脚架准备拍合影，延时正要结束之际，镜头里突然窜出一个脑袋，原来是一个毛利小伙子从坡下辛苦的爬上来捡一块飞盘……于是变成3个人的合影。6、东格里罗国家公园末日火山是佛罗多实行摧毁魔戒任务的终点。电影演到这里的时候一波三折，末日火山的圆顶也频繁出现。我们站在鲁阿佩胡山的山顶平台时，脑子里老是回放那幅场景。这里就是末日火山的拍摄地，中土神话的终结地。这一站之后，我们就要开往惠灵顿，结束全岛的自驾之旅。 7、惠灵顿新西兰的首都是惠灵顿而不是奥克兰这件事，常常记混……但我们永远不会忘记离开前能将车吹晃的大风和瑰丽的晚霞，惠灵顿机场的出发大厅里，咕噜瞪着大眼睛在抓鱼，甘道夫骑着大鸟来为我们送行，新西兰之旅，令人享受至极。总结一下，我们的重点放在自驾和徒步这两件事情上面，在城市里停留很少。如果时间和预算允许的话，沿途还可以加入以下新西兰热门的体验式活动：皇后镇跳伞，漂流，蹦极等凯库拉观鲸观海豚福克斯或约瑟夫徒步，还可以坐直升飞机到冰川上面徒步阿斯帕林国家公园徒步奥玛鲁，但尼丁等地观看蓝眼企鹅米尔福德小径徒步陶波湖跳伞东格里罗国家公园徒步罗托鲁瓦毛利人村庄体验游怀托摩萤火虫洞自驾与徒步TIPS：正如我开篇所提，新西兰租车业发达，费用也低廉。驾照：使用中国驾照没问，但需要一份新西兰交通部授权的翻译件，可以在淘宝上办理，也可以找当地的代理，前者价格便宜一半。保险：大的租车公司基本建议上全险，我们租车的那间有三个选项，配的基本险不要另外交钱，00以上的车损才理赔，半险$15每天，0以上理赔，全险。保险费按照车型的不同会有小幅调整。导航：新西兰的公路条件非常好，国小人少，路完善，大地方基本不看地图也没问。我们没有带导航，手机上的谷歌地图就很完美。住宿：新西兰遍地都是露营地，部分需要预定。但有些只是房车营地，如果是汽车+帐篷的组合，要确认营地是否可以扎帐篷。营地分两种，一种是私营，厨房洗衣卫生间热水淋浴都有，电视房之类的公共活动区域也大；一种是DOC管辖的自助式，一般可能只有厕所和饮用水，自助缴费。此外Motel也遍地，若非圣诞这样重大的节日，很少会订不到房。条件更好的星级酒店也有不少。装备：新西兰天气变化非常快，即使是盛夏早晚温差也非常大。海边风大，应该备一件防风外套。如果夏天准备扎帐篷露营，建议最好带-5度的睡袋。实用网站：自然资源保护部的官网，上面几乎可以查到新西兰户外活动的一切信息，例如徒步路线与地图，露营地，国家公园，打猎活动，珍惜动植物等等的详细介绍：https//www.doc.govt.nz/新西兰营地大全，非常实用，我们都是当天提前几个小时在这个网站上找最近的合适的营地：https//www.rankers.co.nz/respectTop10和Holidayparks都是新西兰规模比较大的连锁营地，设施条件也比较好：https//www.top10.co.nz/https//www.holidayparks.co.nz/welcome

我以道种铸永生

乌孙是公元前二世纪崛起于新疆伊犁河流域的西域古国，鼎盛时期人口达到63万，一度成为西域三十六国最强大的国家，在伊利草原留下了悠久的璀璨历史。东汉末年，乌孙内乱国势羸弱，在鲜卑的攻击下退入葱岭散居，至今天山深处还残留着乌孙古城遗迹。　　乌孙向南越过天山沿塔里木河东行直至长安，是乌孙与汉朝使团、商队往来的通道。乌孙（包扎墩）古道与夏特古道相距近200公里，均是连接天山南北的通道，被统称为乌孙古道。　　60多年前，一支军队成功连穿了两条古道，1946年，已经控制伊宁地区的三区民族军制订了南北中三线作战计划，南线作战部队于1946年6月从伊犁州特克斯县琼库什台村出发，翻过包扎墩达坂，穿过130公里长的乌孙古道越过天山进击南疆，攻占了拜城和温宿县，在攻打南疆重镇阿克苏失利后，又于10月突破国民党军队在夏特古道的阻击撤回北疆。　　我们计划重走60年前的这条行军路线，先从北到南穿越乌孙古道，再从南到北反穿夏特古道回到北疆。　　这是一场没能最终完成的旅行，当旅行戛然而止的那一刻心中满是沮丧。无奈和惆怅渐渐淡去，伴随着记忆的回放，那些不断泛起的点点滴滴却总是试图提醒我，这已经是一场完美旅行。利空出尽是利好　　研究路线做好攻略，接下来就是招兵买马，每年的寻伴总是个难，今年也不例外。原计划组建六人队伍，可是折腾了几个月，临到出发前一个月才勉强凑够四个人。　　以前每一次旅行都没有超过两人，所以四人的庞大队伍已经让我很是满意，不过，即使是这样低水平的满意也没能持续多久，出发前第9天，一个队员因事要求退出。通常情况少一个人也不打紧，在人数问上我早就习惯了随遇而安，但走这条有些风险的线路，少一个负责技术和安全的核心队员，简直就是釜底抽薪。剩下两位同伴让我心里直打鼓，一个是价真货实的路痴型傻走驴简单，另一个是对线路毫不关心的摄影迷老米（米老鼠）。　　简单一门心思痴迷于走路，但从不去关心怎么走，她说看到攻略和地图上的花花碌碌就头晕的厉害，我也就没强逼鸭子上架。　　老米忙着研究负重拍片功略也不会去关心徒步攻略，老米这是第二次徒步，第一次负重，为了凑够人数，在我软硬兼施的动员下好不容易才把他给拉入队伍，他原本不是路痴，处于对二十年老友的盲目信任让他自甘堕落成了路痴。　　虽然都是两眼一抹黑，路痴甲和路痴乙却具有强烈的革命乐观主义精神，他俩意见高度统一，“队长，怕啥呢，走不通回头是岸。”很干脆的把一大堆烦恼丢给了我。　　去年穿越乌孙古道的小蜜蜂特意叮嘱我，三个人过科克苏河上的溜索基本不可能，那些溜索绑在离地近三米高的树干上，人手太少很难把人托举起挂上溜索，除非你能像猴子一样爬树。在那些纠结的日子里，不止一次梦到自己出现了严重的返祖现象。　　纠结的日子里利空消息传来，科克苏河上的溜索已经被洪水冲断，线路受阻，于是紧急研究备用路线方案——绕道溜索上游木桥多走两天多翻三个达坂完成穿越。　　备用方案还没捂热，更大的利空接踵而至，而且是坏事成双——溜索上游所有的木桥都被洪水冲毁，必经之路科克苏河已经无法逾越+夏特大冰壁断裂，线路有大变动。　　这些不能回避又没法证实的坏消息让人头疼，我试图把这些重大利空与甲乙同志分享，两同志沉浸在徒步装备购置和摄影器材添置带来的网购快乐中，显然无暇它顾，不过他们的意见仍然很统一，“队长，别怕，走不通回头另找一条路走就是。”似乎天山里通向南疆的坦途多如牛毛。　　我只能心怀侥幸的安慰自己——兴许，利空出尽就该是利好了吧。　　反复研究路上可能会遇到的困难，保护措施也独个儿演练了好几次（甲乙同志都很忙，没空参与），心里还是忐忑不安，骨灰级路痴已经指望不上，只能叮嘱自称地理高考98分（20年前还是100分制）的老米认真研究攻略，我想，路上有个人商量总是能壮壮胆。　　第二天，老米兴奋的告诉我，“攻略看完了，搞半天才弄明白我们队伍是先走乌孙再走夏特呀！”说完顺便问了一句：“背几个镜头合适些？三脚架带哪种？”直接打消了我拉人壮胆的幻想。　　出发前了解到今年还有几支队伍进乌孙，一交流才发现很不对劲，几乎每支队伍都是经过多次拉练层层筛选淘汰才组建起来，对这些队伍来讲，走过墨脱就自称强驴的人连参加拉练的资格都没有，选拔队员的准最低也是特种兵级别。　　回头再看我们生拉活拽勉强凑成的队伍，怎么看怎么像草台班子，不过心里还是暗自庆幸，幸亏我们是今年第一支溜进山的穿越队伍，否则在路上遇到特种兵，民兵们多半都不好意思招呼。老米老友第二次徒步第一次负重八卦城　　 9月19日清晨8点35分，从乌鲁木齐出发的5815次列车驶进伊宁市火车站，提前联系好的王师傅（王正林13519993637）已经等在火车站门口，坐上车就直奔徒步起点——特克斯县琼库什台村。特克斯是乌孙古国夏都所在地，现在的特克斯县城始建于1938年，因完全依据后天八卦图建成而得名八卦城。　　据特克斯县志记载，南宋嘉定三年，道教全真七子之一的丘处机应成吉思汗的邀请前往西域，在游历天山的途中，发现了特克斯这块“风水龙脉”，丘处机用后天八卦图确定了坎北、离南、震东、兑西的八卦方位，这就是特克斯八卦城雏型的最早传说。　　1936年，新疆军阀盛世才的岳父宗秋浚调任伊犁屯垦使兼警备司令，精通易理的宗秋浚也发现了特克斯这块风水宝地，他亲自设计了八卦城图，1938年，特克斯县县长班吉春开始主持修建八卦城。　　八卦城堪称《周易》八卦学说与城市规划实践完美结合的经典之作，八卦城以城中心花园为太极“阴阳”两仪，按八卦方位向外辐射八条主街，每条主街长1200米，每隔360米一条环路，一环8条街，二环16条街，三环32条街，四环64条街。这些街道按八卦方位形成了64卦，整个八卦城栩栩如生的演绎了《周易》学说的深奥内涵，简直是建筑史上的奇迹。进山前在特克斯县最后一次进餐，所以这碗大号牛肉面端上来后，我又另添了一份牛肉和一份面条路痴甲培训路痴乙　　从特克斯县出来很快进山，拐进河谷，眼前的水电工地干得热火朝天，面对挖得乱七八糟的道路，王师傅有些傻眼，他说去年来的时候这里的河谷静悄悄。　　一辆水泥搅拌车突突的开过来，开车师傅竟然是王师傅的熟人，一阵寒暄后，在他的指点下东绕西绕终于绕上进山的碎石路。　　百无聊赖中，简单竟然破天荒的关心起线路来，听到简单漫不经心的随口一问，老米立马来了精神，临时抱佛脚掏出功略开始认真讲解起来。忙着现炒现卖着意卖弄的老米，显然没注意到简单已经听的昏昏欲睡，忍不住嘀咕了一句，“路痴甲培训路痴乙。”　　老米讪笑着住了口。琼库什台村　　翻过山口，蕴积已久的乌云终于垮下脸，雨开始下个不停，山谷里浓雾弥漫，能见度极低，王师傅紧握着方向盘，汽车缓慢滑行在泥泞的下山道上，雨雾中我们抵达了徒步起点——琼库什台牧业村。　　下车后，开始重新打包收拾，一群哈萨克牧民迅速聚集过来，围着我们指指点点议论个不停，出发前拍合影时，看稀奇的牧民们呼啦一下涌进镜头，毫不客气的把几个穿越主角给生生挤到角落里去。　　下午三点半，我们在淅淅沥沥的雨中出发。出发前的合影，牧民成了主角，中间这位大汉颇有点舍我其谁的气势甲可思摸　　雨雾在山谷里快速涌动，山林溪流忽隐忽现，我们沿着湿滑泥泞的马道往山谷深处走去，出发后老米显得很兴奋，拿着相机拍得很起劲，泥泞马道上左右穿插频频按动快门，尽管镜头上已是水珠点点，还是时不时的来个雨中静物特写，队伍走走停停简直就像是幼儿园的春游。　　琼库什台村是哈萨克族牧民聚居点，不时有骑马牧民赶着牛羊回村，入秋后天气渐冷，天山深处的达坂已经积雪，牧民开始从深山牧场往村子里撤，牛背马背上驮着大捆大捆的家当。　　沿途牧民总是向我们投来好奇的目光，路上临时抱佛脚学了一句哈萨克语的“你好”——甲可思摸，这下终于能派上用场，于是见人就是“甲可思摸”，把迎面而来的牧民挨个“摸”了一遍，尽管“摸”得很认真，老米有时还帮着“摸”，有些牧民甚至连“摸”了好几遍，我们殷勤的劳动却没有收获热情的果实。　　大多数牧民骑在高头大马上傲然斜睨，神色冷然，骑马的看不起走路的我能理解，自古以来，骑兵瞧不起步兵本就是一种光荣传统。所以，偶尔有骑兵点点头就会引来我们使劲的“摸”，偶尔有骑兵赏脸回“摸”步兵一下，这一“摸”总是让我很激动。驮着全副家当回村的牧民，这头牛长的有些喜剧，像是戴着白色面具再来一次？　　进山的道路沿着溪流左岸缓慢爬升，穿出树林，雨水更加稠密，茫茫白雾笼罩着山野，哗哗的流水声回荡在山谷。　　云雾中行走，我们对风景的期待已经降到最低准，偶尔浓雾倏忽散开，那仿若施舍般显露出来的茵茵草地和山谷木屋，总是引得我和老米手忙脚乱，很没出息的抢着掏相机。　　斜坡上马道泥泞湿滑，泥浆被牲口践踏得一团糟，所谓马道，现在看起来就是马走起来很爽，人走起来很不爽的道路。不愿在泥浆里深一脚浅一脚的踩，改走上斜坡草地，不料绿茵草地积满水更加湿滑，暗藏杀机。　　没走出多远，支撑脚一滑，身体陡然歪斜，肩上压着70斤的重量，担心受伤不敢硬拧，把相机紧搂在怀里，侧身重重的倒在泥水里，慢慢的爬起身，已成了个泥人。　　老米和简单呆呆的看我表演，连忙转头问老米：“拍照了没有？”两人连连摇头，看到我遗憾的表情，老米说，“或者，你再来一次？”斜坡草地，看上去很美，狼狈不堪的从地上爬起来，满脸是泥邀请来得太早　　爬上山坡，道旁木屋里走出一个年轻女子，在雨中径直向我们走来，用生硬的汉语招呼着：“休息不？吃饭不？”反复问了几遍又用手做出扒饭的动作。　　走在山谷里，沿途擦身而过的牧民都显得很冷淡，突然走出个年轻女子这么热情的邀请，巨大的反差让我有点受宠若惊。　　通常在旅行途中，别说这样热情的邀请没法拒绝，即使是蹭吃蹭喝的机会偶尔乍现，都会让我忙不迭的扑上去。　　回头看看老米和简单，他们对年轻女人的热情邀请显得无动于衷，的确，年轻女人的邀请来得太早了些，即使在冰冷的雨水中走路很不爽，可是才走一个多小时就让他们停下来吃喝享乐，老米可能无所谓，简单多半打死也不从。　　悻悻婉拒了女人的热情邀请，继续向雨雾弥漫的山谷深处走去，走出很远，还心欠欠的频频回头张望。路痴定律　　雨水无休止的倾泻，内衣已经湿透，气温降得很低，就在卸包吃馕那一小会儿功夫，双手很快就冻僵，连馕饼都拿捏不住。　　走到近7点半，道旁又是一座空置的木屋，新疆的天空到9点钟才全黑，拿不准天黑前还能不能遇到木屋，这样的坏天气在泥泞的草地上扎营简直就是一场悲剧。　　在木屋里扎营，老米没意见，简单却很不乐意。　　简单已经冲到前面很远，被叫回来时满脸的不情愿，她说刚开始兴奋起来，状态正好走的正带劲就叫停当然很不爽。不情不愿的卸下包，简单还舍不得进屋，带着没走满意的无奈表情，独个儿在雨中转悠了几圈又主动提出去河边提水。　　简单高高兴兴提着水桶去河边继续过瘾，我和老米燃起篝火，身上的衣服都快烤干，简单还没回来，心中有些惴惴不安，正准备出门找人，简单带着满身水汽闯进来，满脸惊惶地说：“糟糕，迷路了，差点我就回不来了！”　　到100米远的地方打水也会迷路？我和老米面面相觑，都有点回不过神来。　　细问才弄明白，简单来到坡下的小溪，装满水桶掉头就走，走到一个断崖边才发觉走错了路，既然已经走晕了头，路痴驴肯定弄不明白自己走到了哪里，也弄不明白自己是怎么走到这里来的。呼喊了几声没有回应，简单这下慌了神，提着水桶东奔西跑，却总也走不出山沟，后来糊里糊涂从某个地方钻出来，看到木屋才好不容易摸回来。　　“打水后你怎么就没按原路返回呢？”老米觉得不可思议。　　“转过身就糊涂了，以为走的就是原路哒，每次都这样，只要我认为方向是正确的，那一定已经弄错了。”简单一脸的无辜，显得很委屈。　　老米是第一次领教简单的路痴绝活，很有些后怕，“早知道这样，应该把救生哨给你带在身上，迷路了就吹哨。”　　“哨子解决不了问，以后简单去打水得给她配个向导。”路痴驴的路痴本色我曾经深刻领教过，已经是有点见惯不惊，不过看到老米对简单的路痴本质认识还不够深刻，忍不住开口提醒他。　　经过了这茬，对路痴驴的保护开始形成制度，行进队型严格固定——我开路，老米收队，简单夹在中间。同时明确了三条纪律——绝对不允许简单冲到队伍前面或在队伍后面逗留；行进途中，必须确保简单始终处于我和老米至少一人的视线以内；绝对禁止简单同学的营地活动超过视线范围（嘘嘘除外）。　　这才刚出发，简单就给我们来了个下马威，路痴定律随之出炉——只要简单认为是正确的，那一定已经错了。英俊少年　　清晨，雨过天晴，浓雾依然弥漫山谷。　　收拾出发已经10点钟，一个哈萨克少年骑马追上我们，超越后却并不远去，就呆在前面三五米的地方慢慢催马前行，英俊少年显得对我们很感兴趣，坐在马背上回转身，眼神直勾勾紧盯着我们。　　“甲可思摸。”连摸几遍没有反应，英俊少年马背上回身的姿势仿佛凝固一般，依然是直勾勾的盯着，始终保持在我们前面一点走着，颇有点带路的意味。　　其实，沿途的哈萨克牧民虽然冷漠，却总会不由自主流露出对旅游者的浓厚兴趣，虽然长居深山不善交流，脸上总是一副冷漠表情，但身体语言却暴露了他们的内心想法。　　通常牧民远远看到我们多半会早早的挺直胸膛，在马背上坐的笔直，经过身边时突然催马加速，快速跑出一段再潇洒的勒马回头张望。　　这个英俊少年也不例外，尽管骑在马上就像一尊雕塑，但看得出雕塑对我们的兴趣是相当的浓厚。死的比活的管用　　马道从山坡上切到山谷溪流边，一座木桥横跨溪流，另一条路沿溪流左岸通向山谷深处，“包扎墩，这里？”我指着木桥试探地问少年，少年很快做出回应，使劲的摇着头，再问了一遍，少年还是摇头，还抬手指了指左边的山道。其实攻略上写的很清楚，过桥是正道，不过，攻略是死的，人是活的。　　相信人还是相信攻略，这是个问！　　后来回想起来，提出这个问，就已经是脑子被驴踢了的表现。　　心里拿不准，指着木桥又问了一遍，少年坚决的摇摇头，催马走上左边山道停下来等我。　　少年很执着的等在前面，犹豫了半天跟上少年，爬上草坡，少年脸上绽开了笑容，竟然哼起曲子来，拍着马鞍冲我招招手，示意让我上马。　　我回头示意简单，简单很不屑的摇摇头，这下少年兴趣马上发生转移，掉转马头紧随简单身旁行走，眼睛直勾勾的盯着简单，曲子哼的更起劲了。　　翻过山坳，浓雾中传出犬吠声声，木屋前几只牧羊犬作势扑咬，一个汉子应声出门喝止。看到我们，汉子显得很激动，手舞足蹈抛出一长串话来，他越激动我心里越拧巴，因为他的汉话太拧巴。　　果然，我们走错了路，虽然人是活的攻略是死的，不过这次死的显然比活的更管用。　　好不容易逮着个能开口说话的牧人，连忙拉住他询问科克苏河上的溜索。　　“不在，没有了。”汉子连连摇头。　　“桥？木桥？在不在？”　　“不在，冲走了！”　　汉子的回答让我心里一沉，老米和简单心态很好，“到了河边再说吧。”　　汉子叫来一个老汉，指着树林方向，让他带我们抄近路插过去。光线的诱惑　　随着老汉跨过独木桥，翻过山坡，走出树林，眼前豁然开朗，宽阔的斜坡草地一直延向浓雾弥漫的山谷。　　告别老汉，顺草坡而下，遮蔽山谷的浓雾仿佛被一只无形的手牵引，大幕般缓缓向上提起，山谷里的草甸、木屋、牛羊从大幕下一点一点显露出来，阳光星星点点洒落草场，沉睡的大地开始苏醒，盎然生机在起伏的山峦间涌动。　　由衷的喜悦在心里流淌，我踏露而行，缓步走进慢慢显露的梦幻世界。晨雾的帷幕慢慢拉开，云雾渐渐散去时的光线那么迷人，我和老米像中了魔似地，频频举起相机按下快门。　　帷幕吊胃口般走几步就拉开一点点，云雾一点一点的拉开，阳光一点一点的洒落，大脑已经停止了运转被视觉支配着，恍恍惚惚走上几步，就举起相机按下快门，三步一停，五步一顿，一点一点被诱惑着迈动脚步。　　这段路程的记忆很模糊，或者当时脑子里本就已经是模糊不清，简直就是一段魔幻的演绎，恍惚中已经不是在行走，似乎化作了一股快乐的溪流，从山坡上缓缓淌进雨后初晴的山谷牧场，就像一个蹩脚的后期剪辑作品，上一个镜头里我还在山坡上面对着茫茫白雾，下一个镜头切过来已经站在仙境般的谷地四处张望。　　雾气渐散，阳光一缕一缕穿透云雾，仿佛带着重量般冲坠到山谷草地，草尖上密集的露珠在阳光映射下精灵般熠熠生辉，仙境一样的通透色彩在山谷里流动，清鲜的青草芳香，湿润的泥土气息，伴随着袅袅缥缈的薄雾在草地上飘荡，沁人心脾。都是迷路惹的祸几道栅栏挡在面前，牧场上忙碌的妇人走过来指点我们从栅栏低矮处翻进去，刚落地，她的老公从木屋后转出来，热情邀请我们进屋喝茶。扔下背包径直往屋里去，我不敢客气，怕一客气就把机会给客气掉了。　　汉子叫卡德拉洪，他一眼瞥见我手里的相机，伸手就把老婆拉到面前，问我：“照相？”　　俗话说吃人的嘴软，这样的问话通常也就只是走个过场而已。　　卡德拉洪拉着老婆转来转去摆POSE，拍了逆光拍顺光、拍了牧场背景换木屋背景再换牛羊背景，拍完老婆接着拍夫妻照，也是顺光逆光牧场木屋牛羊换着花样来……　　好不容易折腾完，我还惦记着屋子里的热茶，正准备收工往屋里钻，卡德拉洪把手指塞进嘴里打出个响亮的呼哨，一个少年应声从山坡上拍马冲出，黑马少年冲到近前，原来是卡德拉洪二世驾临，于是又是一番排列组合，拍了儿子拍母子，拍了马上拍马下，拍了逆光拍顺光……　　相机装进包之前我环顾四周，忍不住多问了一句：“您，家里还有其他人吗？”卡德拉洪摇摇头把我们迎进木屋。　　按规矩进屋之前先洗手，炕桌上很快摆出奶茶、面饼、奶油，卡德拉洪手法熟练的切着熟羊肉。喝着醇香奶茶，嚼着香喷喷的羊肉，清炖羊肉是那样的鲜美，我忍不住说了一句：“都是迷路惹的祸啊！”老米砸吧着嘴连连点头。山寨版挤奶工，性别优势很明显天山牧场　　不知不觉就在卡德拉洪家里磨蹭了一个多小时，在简单的催促下才不舍作别。　　火辣的阳光从湛蓝天空洒落下来，潮湿的草地蒸腾起一团团雾气，紧贴着地面漂浮，像一丛丛白色的火焰在燃烧。　　皑皑雪山环绕山谷，峰顶冰雪在阳光下烁烁生辉，绿草如茵铺满大地，牛羊散落在草甸上悠闲的踱步，溪流切开绿草地蜿蜒流淌，潺潺的流水声悦耳动听，天地间透出恬静安详的气息。眼前这一切与脑子里臆想了无数遍的天山牧场竟然分毫不差，一种遥远又熟悉的感觉油然而生，心神安宁，信步缓行，我听得见心脏在舒缓的跳动。　　穿行在美丽的山谷，忍不住回头对老米感叹，这一段路大概就是天山牧场的精髓了吧。　　灿烂的阳光把坏天气带来的阴郁一扫而光，有了阳光的眷顾，整个山谷焕发出熠熠神彩。阳光也有副作用，自从它出现以后，我们的队伍行走起来就慢的像蜗牛，我和老米走走停停，尽情释放摁下快门的快感。　　现在回想起来，似乎从第二天开始，懒散悠游的种子就开始在队伍里萌芽，我和老米首先就已经在阳光、美景面前举手缴械，很默契的把拍照排在了第一位，那些出发前的徒步计划被有意无意的忽略掉。　　这些变化很微妙，一门心思追求傻走的简单竟然没有及时感知，也就没有提出抗议，这也无意中助长了我们的歪风邪气。　　可怕的是，这些行走中的变化，仅仅只是刚开始。负重　　溪流在山谷流淌，马道穿行溪畔，行走在阳光照耀的青草地，与昨天的雨雾待遇相比，今天简直就是进了天堂。　　转过山弯，海拔3660米的包扎墩达坂跃入眼帘，雪山环绕，马道沿着山谷缓慢爬升，走过溪流上的木桥，坡度变陡，队伍开始渐渐拉长。　　出发前队伍减少了一个人，负重的压力陡然增加，因为乌孙出山后无法采购的原因，穿越夏特的很多物品不得不全程背负。在乌鲁木齐，背包过秤的结果让我们有点发怵，老米和简单分别是66斤、50斤，背包重量都超过了体重的一半，出发前反复测算的控制重量被大大突破。　　虽然每件超重物品都只超了一点点，但汇总起来就很可怕。食品主要由简单采购，按照清单检查时，每种食品的超重理由她都说的很充分——没有小包装、重量估计失误、某样东西特好吃必不可少、某样东西是为某样东西配套必不可少、某样东西是我没考虑到她想到的必不可少……这些理由我统统都能接受，她的一口袋护肤品超计划我也能忍受，她的不锈钢大饭盒纯属多余我咬着牙也忍了，但当她掏出一双沉甸甸的精钢筷子时，直接让我崩溃了，伸手夺过来要扔掉，简单着急的阻拦，“别！这是我家最好的筷子，用很多年了。”后来，每当她掏出这沉甸甸的传家宝吃饭，都会把我给重新刺激一次。　　清理半天的结果让我很郁闷，唯一减掉的就是我那把折叠大刀。　　组队时对老米的许诺是负重不超过50斤，主要是担心报价太高把他给吓退，毕竟这是他的第一次负重徒步。把人拉进队伍后给他说了实话——不超过55斤，我心里明白这个重量还有不少水分，毕竟我们的公司刚刚组建，业绩压力太大容易把新员工给吓跑。　　退出一名队员后报价顺势涨到60斤，通货膨胀的压力在那儿明摆着，所以这次涨价老米很理解。老米这人很重感情，虽然这个重量已经让他心里打鼓晚上睡不安稳，但作为多年老友，他显然不好意思到这个节骨眼上还拆我的吊桥。第一次负重就享受到这样良好的待遇，老米还没出门心里就已经是忐忑不安，在乌鲁木齐称重后更是显得心事重重。　　不过两天走下来大伙儿很快从心理和生理上都适应了背负，负重已经不是什么负担。老米只是抱怨背负重量严重影响立片的拍摄操作，这一点我也深受其苦，重压下的右肩右臂频繁抬起，不仅稳定性差，背包带紧勒下还有点呼吸困难，没多久我和老米的右肩就红肿起来，抬手拍立片简直就是煎熬。心有不甘的扎营　　马道在乱石陡坡上延伸，第一次负重爬山老米需要适应节奏，渐渐的落在了后面。　　走到下午六点，天气陡变，乌云翻滚着从包扎墩达坂上压下来，天空飘起了雪花，很快雪花变成黄豆大的雹粒噼里啪啦洒下来。　　今天的计划是翻过包扎墩达坂扎营，这一路上挥霍了太多时间，按我们的进度估计，爬上达坂正好是天黑时分，下山还需要一两个小时。望着乌云翻滚的达坂，在恶劣的天气里走夜路还是让我有些惴惴不安，不过这么早就停下扎营心里更是不甘，呆望着垭口犹豫不定，回头与追上来的老米商量。　　老米毫不犹豫的说安全第一，正好山湾里有个空置的木屋，我顺水推舟安排在木屋里卸包扎营。　　这么早就安营扎寨，仍然是老米很高兴，简单很不甘心。在干燥的木屋里烧水做饭，老米满怀憧憬的询问，“我们是不是每天都能住在这样的木屋里？”　　午夜，天气好转，如水月光铺满山谷，亮如白昼。康复治疗　　胃病和失眠一直折磨老米多年，体质每况愈下。08年我计划穿越巴丹吉林沙漠，寻伴无果的情况下就开始撺掇老米把他的处男行贡献出来，我的想法一开始就把他给吓着了，头摇的像拨浪鼓。也难怪，从没徒步过，一走就是十多天，而且还是进沙漠，想起来都是灾难，老米死活不从。　　无奈之下我借着酒劲就开始给他下猛药，“老米呀，一个男人，这辈子总得做出一两件自己觉得不可能的事情来，当你老了以后可以翻出来在儿子面前炫耀。”这贴药药性太猛，把老米刺激的半宿没睡着，大清早就毅然决然的告诉我，“豁出去了！”　　老米壮着胆子到巴丹吉林沙漠里走了11天，顶着狂风暴雨烈日的行走，每天喝着盐碱水，饱一顿饥一顿吃着含沙量很高的饭菜，睡在风吹雨打的帐篷里，老米惊喜地发现困扰多年的胃病和失眠症竟然不治而愈，看到老米从沙漠里回来变得睡觉倍儿香、吃饭倍儿棒、身体倍儿壮、精神头倍儿足，米嫂很是满意。　　身体变好后老米消停了两年没再动弹，于是那些老毛病又开始跳出来作怪，身体状况越来越让米嫂感到担心。　　今年的天山穿越寻伴依然很困难，无奈中再次打上了老米的主意，在我的反复撺掇和米嫂的坚决支持下，老米终于下定决心再来一次康复治疗。　　疗效很神奇，简直就是立竿见影，从走路的第一天开始，老米就变得能吃能睡，晚上躺进睡袋不到半分钟就开始打鼾，失眠症的影子都找不到一点，反倒弄得我在他的鼾声干扰下开始失眠。　　旅程还没过半，再次尝到甜头的老米就已经下定决心——以后每年巩固一次疗效。监护人　　温暖的阳光洒进山谷，天气大晴，老米在笔记本上如此记录——第三天，10点30分出发，我们的队伍越来越拖沓。　　的确如此，我们的队伍以每天延迟半个小时拔营的速度迅速堕落下去，直到第六天出发时，一看时间竟然已经是中午12点，这才让我们开始悚然警觉。　　爬上山坳，宽广的乱石山谷尽头就是包扎墩达坂，达坂上积雪不多，琼库什台村牧民比划的雪深及大腿显然是在吓唬人。　　我们没走马道，朝着垭口方向，从谷底径直往上切，草坡爬上去就进入乱石堆，石缝里不时散落着北山羊那硕大的羊角，简单在乱石上轻盈的快速挪动，老米对这样的走法有些不适应，每一步都踩得很稳，渐渐落到后面。　　第一天就约定老米收队，负责对简单的保护，如果是平路和下坡路，他的保护做得非常到位，老米做事很是认真严谨，严格贯彻人盯人的对位防守策略，总是寸步不离的把简单跟得很紧，这样严密的保护显得有点矫枉过正，看起来老米似乎不是在担心路痴驴走丢，而是在防止路痴驴一不留神就插翅飞走。　　一旦开始爬山老米的保护就变得失控，简单每逢爬山必定会兴奋起来，而且是山势越陡越高兴，海拔越高越兴奋，步子迈得飞快，总是把监护人甩到后面很远，如果是冲垭口，那简直就是出笼的小鸟，不管不顾一个劲往前冲。　　对这种一门心思傻走的路痴型特质人群，脱离监护是很危险的举动，于是给她约法三章，爬山时，收队的监护人可以甩，开路的监护人不能超，简单答应的很憋屈，却很守纪律，不越雷池一步。　　心理学原理告诉我们，人的思维定势一旦形成，往往就像一个无形的囚笼把自己罩起来，简单就是个典型例子，后来，偶尔因拍照时需要道具让她走到我前面去，她犹豫着看过来的眼神，分明是在怀疑我的提议会不会是个陷阱。包扎墩达坂昨天路上来往的牧民还是络绎不绝，到今天却一下子全没了影，空旷的山谷里只有我们仨在孤单的行走。　　直到走上达坂下的之字形陡坡，马道上才开始出现积雪和薄冰，马道很好走，严格按照走五十步驻步喘五口气的节奏走路，上升的很快。　　快到垭口，横切过一段平路，前方就是垭口，垭口岩石上赫然站着一只黑狗，看到我冒头就作势欲扑狂吠起来，垭口上竟然有劫道的狗？难道新疆的狗都这么霸道？如此牛狗！我对它不由得肃然起敬。　　朝着霸占垭口的牛狗就冲了过去，还没等我举起登山杖，黑狗就忙不迭转身奔逃，待我爬上垭口，它已经变成了一个小黑点。　　垭口寒风刺骨，放眼望去，碧空如洗，广阔山谷一览无遗，湛蓝的天幕下峰峦叠嶂，雪山屹立连绵不绝，阳光照射在达坂冰川上，反射出耀眼的光芒，我们顶着寒风呆了大半个小时开始下山。在山下又遇到落荒而逃的黑狗，当它消除敌意后，抵近拍照留念马队的邀请　　沿着溪流连下两个陡坡，走进了宽阔草场，草场尽头散落着两座木屋，远远的看到山腰木屋处走出一只马队，很快来到近前。　　三男一女一婴五马一声不哼横挡在面前，审视的眼神上下打量，那只收买路钱的黑狗和他们站在一起，有了后台肯定就有底气，黑狗呲牙咧嘴的盯着我。　　一声不哼是因为不会说汉话，冷漠是深山里牧民的天性使然，审视是对陌生人好奇。山里的牧民都显得很矜持，不会一见到你就热情起来，他们会仔细观察你的言行，直到决定接受你，不过，即便接受了你，他们看起来仍然很矜持，只能从眼角和嘴角的细微变化看出一点对你的好感来。　　老米从后面赶上来把烟递过去，男人们脸上开始有了笑容，抱着孩子的女人开始叽里咕噜的问话。　　语言不通，试探着模仿他们拿腔拿调的口气说了几声：“我们，去，科克苏河。”男人们对视一眼，有人点了点头，指了指山下科克苏河的方向，领头的大鼻子汉子拍了拍空马鞍，示意我们可以上马，回头向简单转达了马队的邀请，“不骑，走路更舒服！”简单使劲的摇着头。　　马队沿着河谷溪流一溜小跑，在泥泞崎岖的马道上很快走远。午后煮茶休息，这是每天必不可少的内容，通常情况会耽搁一个小时多一点，这一路上的南瓜皮的确有点多三男一女一婴五马挡住去路，别说我不识数，有一匹被挡住了我们试图追着马队走，但两条小溪缠住我们的脚步，马队很快没影了([]

从尼泊尔回来转眼已经好几个月了，看着去尼泊尔徒步带回来的几十个G的照片，头都是大的，要知道整理照片和写日志对于我来说是一个漫长而痛苦的过程。现先将攀登ISLAND PEAK（岛峰）的照片发上来和朋友们一起分享，让大家和我一起分享那段空气稀薄的难忘时光。登山是我刚开始户外就喜欢上的一项运动，记得刚刚开始痴迷登山的那年，我接连攀登了四姑娘山的二峰（5276米）、哈巴雪山（5396米），又去西藏攀登了6206米的启孜峰。本来计划接着去冲击7206米的宁金抗沙峰，由于种种原因未能如愿。 2010年国内接着发生了好几起登山的山难事故，电视媒体的报道让家人知道了登雪山原来是那么的危险，极力反对我再去登山。我自己也意识到随着海拔的升高确实会有很多自己无法掌控的危险因素。纠结了好长一段时间，还是决定放弃这项我非常喜欢的运动。尼泊尔昆布冰河地区有三座入门级雪峰：MERA PEAK [6476米]、IMJA TSE（ISLAND PEAK）[6189米]、LOBUCHE EAST [6119米]。ISLAND PEAK（岛峰），当地名称：IMJA TSE，是一座位于尼泊尔昆布冰河地区的山峰，海拔6189米。其四周由三条巨大的冰河环绕，远远望去犹如一座孤悬在冰河海中的一座岛屿，故名“岛峰”。虽然不是太高，但是每年都会吸引着很多来自世界各地的登山爱好者。这次去尼泊尔徒步ABC和EBC并计划登ISLAND PEAK（岛峰），是因为两年前在网上看到网友在尼泊尔徒步EBC攀登ISLAND PEAK（岛峰）的图片，心想以后再去尼泊尔EBC徒步的时候，如果能顺便攀登这个雪山，那整个行程就非常完美了。 ABC徒步顺利完成，在送走一起徒步ABC的队友后，我就一直在加德满都等候，希望能找到一起去徒步EBC并且也想去登岛峰的朋友。在加德满都等了几天，终于碰上了刚刚从肯尼亚登山回来的沈阳小伙子小赵，他也正在想去登岛峰，于是和小赵一起结伴同行。去EBC徒步的人基本上都是逆时针走。我们为了能很好的适应高海拔，顺利登上ISLAND PEAK（岛峰），决定把登ISLAND PEAK（岛峰）放在了整个行程的后半部分。也就是按顺时针走。经过顺时针连续跨越SAGARMATHA NATIONAL PARK地区的四条沟，翻越了四个五千米的垭口（RENJO PASS5 360米、CHO LA PASS 5368米、LOBUCHE PASS 5110米、KongMA LA 5535米），三座五千多米的山峰（GOKYO RI 5357米、KALA PATTHAR 5550米、CHHUKHUNG RI 5550米）。于第十天终于来到了攀登ISLAND PEAK（岛峰）的聚集地CHHUKHUNG（4730米）。我们的登山证是在NAMCHE办理的，在CHHUKHUNG的客栈就租用了全套的登山装备（含上升器，下降器，主锁，高山靴，冰爪，安全带，帐篷等）。 ISLAND PEAK（岛峰）有两个登山大本营，BASE CAMP设在5080处，周边有水源，HIGH CAMP设在5600处，水源处较远，取水不是很方便。大部分队伍都选择将营地设在BASE CAMP。我们希望第二天上午登顶后能尽快直接返回到CHHUKHUNG，这样能少走些路，在和客栈老板商量后，决定将营地设在了两个营地之间的5400米处。客栈老板帮我们配备了一个夏尔巴高山向导，一个高山厨师，两个背夫。我们的夏尔巴高山向导桑巴，六次登顶珠峰，人非常好！在CHHUKHUNG一切准备就绪，等待第二天的出发~ 第一天路线：CHHUKHUNG（海拔4730米）－BASE CAMP（海拔5080米）－自建营地（海拔5400米从CHHUKHUNG（4730米）客栈出发右边的房子就是CHHUKHUNG（4730米）一路都是缓上坡从CHHUKHUNG出来有一对德国夫妇和我们一起，也是去登ISLAND PEAK的，营地也是准备建在5400。路上遇到登山下撤的牦牛运输队左边这个山峰就是ISLAND PEAK海拔6189米，在这看感觉不是很高右边是我们要登的海拔6160米的ISLAND PEAK（岛峰），地图上识高度为6189米左边高大的山峰就是著名的世界第四高峰海拔8516米的LHOTSE（洛子峰）路边的一个登山营地走了两个半小时来到了设在5080处的BASE CAMPBASE CAMP有很多的帐篷，很多登山者都在这里休息，准备第二天的冲顶这里有很多的高山雪鸡，与人和谐相处。敬佩尼泊尔人的保护意识！在BASE CAMP等了一个多小时那对德国朋友才上来，他们高反有些严重，决定留在BASE CAMP休息，第二天再上。我们就按计划继续上到5400米的营地([]

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([

残王霸宠：重生逆天小毒妃

赖燕琪

台湾行，用这句歌词作，一来是因为对这首歌太过熟悉，二来因为选择了冬季去台湾，而实际上我去台湾的真实动议是想去那里寻找中华文明及传统文化。去台湾的想法已经有了好几年了，自从台湾对大陆开放旅游之后，我就想着去那里看看，但一直想着啥时候放开了自由行再过去，但一等再等，台湾一直没有对徐州开放，实在是有点等不及了，于是，2015年2月4日，我终于登上了飞往宝岛的航班。上午1010，徐州观音机场直达台北桃园机场的中华航空CI550航班准时起飞。飞机航行在万米高空中，而我的心此刻已飞向了那个因一道海峡而相隔了60年、至今仍使用着繁体字的宝岛。这么多年旅行，我最不喜欢乘坐的就是飞机，这种点对点的到达方式，在空中时的感觉实在是不好，所以，每次乘坐飞机，我都会要求坐在窗前，为的就是还能看看窗外那天空与云层的变幻，排解一下旅途的无趣。尽管此时已心系台湾，但毕竟还是要有两个半小时的航程才能到达，心急也没用，那就静下心来好好欣赏舷窗外的风景吧。去到海边观海，坐在飞机上观云。这云海和大海很有相似之处呢。这云海翻滚的景象与海浪翻腾不是很像吗？椅背显示屏上的导航图明确出了此次航行的路线飞机飞临台北上空，天气阴沉沉、雾蒙蒙，正是应了那首歌《冬季到台北来看雨》，台北，我们来了！整个航程2个半小时，1240，中华航空CI550航班准点在台北桃园机场平安降落。台湾，到了！([]
