统御全球

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

　　　　可可西里自然保护区是我国目前建立的面积最大，海拔最高，野生动物资源最为丰富的国家级自然保护区之一，被誉为“世界第三极”和青藏高原珍稀野生动物基因库。　　　　可可西里自然保护区位于青海省西南部的玉树藏族自治州境内，东经89º25’～9430;05΄，北纬34º19’～36º16。其范围为昆仑山脉以南，乌兰乌拉山以北，东起青藏公路，西迄省界。保护区西与西藏自治区相接，南同格尔木唐古拉乡毗邻，北和新疆维吾尔族自治区相连，东至青藏公路，总面积4.5万平方公里。　　　　可可西里地处青藏高原腹地，平均海拔在4600米以上，最高峰为北缘昆仑山布喀达板峰(亦称新青峰或莫诺马哈峰)，海拔6860米；最低点在豹子峡(昆仑山南鹿红水河横穿博卡雷克拐弯处)，海拔4200米。区内地势南北高，中部低，西部高而东部低。可可西里山和冬布勒山横贯本区中部，山地间有两个宽谷湖盆带，地势较平坦。海拔5500米～6000米以上的山地，有现代冰川发育。如布喀达坂峰(6860)米，马兰山(6813)米，少数超过5600米的山峰也有小规模冰川分布，如东岗扎日(5882)米，冰川总面积达1700多平方公里。 　　　　可可西里是羌塘高原内流湖区和长江北源水系交汇地区。东部为楚玛河为主的长江北源水系，主要为雨水、地下水补给，水量较小，河流往往是季节性河流。西部和北部是以湖泊为中心的内流水系。区内湖泊众多，据统计，面积大于1平方公里的湖泊有107个，总面积3825平方公里，其中面积200平方公里以上的湖泊有7个。最大的为乌兰乌拉湖，湖水面积为544.5平方公里，是青海省第四大湖。可可西里湖泊大部分为咸水湖或半咸水湖，矿化度较高。 区内现代冰川广布，冰川总面积2000平方公里，著名的有布喀达坂冰帽冰川，马兰山冰川、岗扎日冰川等，是“中华水塔”的宝贵冰川。本地区有许多奇特的自然景观，如山谷冰川，地表冻丘、冻帐、石林、石环、多彩的高原湖泊，盐湖边盛开的朵朵“盐花”，以及现代冰川下热气蒸腾，水温高达91℃的沸泉群等，有机地组成了其他地区所不及的本区特有的地质资源。　　　　　本区气候特点是温度低、降水少、大风多、区域差异较大。境内年平均气温由东南向西北逐渐降低，在西金乌兰湖地区有一明显暖区，最暖区年均温为-4.10C，最冷为最西边的勒斜武担措，年均温为-10.00C(推算值)，最低气温-46.40C，其它地区均在两者之间。 　　　　可可西里地区年平均降水量分布趋势是由东南向西北逐渐减少。在173～495毫米之间。本区风大，是全国风速高值区之一，在风力较弱的季节。西金乌兰湖附近仍出现瞬时风速为24.0米/秒的大风(1990年7月9日16时47分)，年平均风速分布由东向西增大。区内的土壤类型简单，多为高山草甸土、高山草原土和高山寒漠土壤，其次为沼泽土，零星分布的有沼泽土、龟裂土、盐土、碱土和风沙土。土壤发育年轻。受冻融作用影响深刻。 　　　　区域内由于受到地理位置、地势高低、地形坡向及地表组成物质等各种水热条件分异因素的影响，自然景观自东南向西北呈现高寒草甸-高寒草原+高寒荒漠更替。其中高寒草原是主要类型。高寒冰缘植被也有较大面积的分布，高寒荒漠草原、高寒垫状植被和高寒荒漠有少量分布。高寒草甸、高寒沼泽仅分布在极个别的地区。可可西里地势高峻，空气稀薄，气压偏低，氧气稀薄，只有低海拔地区的一半，烧开水的沸点只有80多度，被称为“世界第三极”。自然环境严酷，气候恶劣，人类无法长期居住、生产和生活，因而保留了其原始的生态环境和独特的自然景观。　　　　本区生物区系种类少，但青藏高原特有种比例大，且种群数量大。据多年观察，哺乳动物有29种，其中11种为青藏高原特有，鸟类53种，爬行类1种，鱼类6种。区内高等植物有102属，202种，其中青藏高原特有种84种，占全区种类的41.56%，其中属国家重点保护的一、二类野生动物就有20余种。包括大家熟知的野牦牛、藏羚羊、野驴、白唇鹿、棕熊等。本区的特有生物种类不但是我国的珍稀动植物，而且为世界上所嘱目，在学术上和自然保护上均十分重要. 　　　　以上资料择由《中国国家地理》杂志　　 　　2009年10月2日在青海省格尔木市休整一天，作高原适应并作连续穿越可可西里和阿尔金山两大无人区的准备，车子油箱全部加满油，给养车上的汽油和柴油备用油箱也全部加满，准备2桶50L的淡水，以及矿泉水若干箱，馕、面包等干粮，火腿肠、鸡爪等小吃，还有大米、面条，青菜以及宰杀好的两只羊。　　　　格尔木地处青藏、青新、敦格公路和青藏铁路交汇处，为青海西部交通枢纽。南可通西藏，北可达甘肃河西走廊，西可去新疆，东可到省会西宁。是西藏通往祖国内地的重要中转站和物资集散地。　　格尔木是蒙古语，意为“河流密集的地方”，地处青藏高原腹地，市区位于柴达木盆地中南部格尔木河冲积平原上，市区平均海拔2780米，全市人口27万，其中汉族人口占83%。　　　　格尔木城雕　　 10月3日早上一切准备妥当，开始出发，可就在宾馆的停车场，给养的大车在倒车时刮到一旁的小车，保安费了好大劲，才找到车主，看到我们是新疆的车牌，提出要到西宁修理，光来回油费和耽误的时间就开口要1500元，连修理费一起要3000元。一番协商不下，把我们撩在宾馆等候，工匠他们到交警处理，巧的是处理的交警有亲戚是新疆库尔勒人，他偷偷告诉我们不要露出着急的样子，要装作有大把多时间磨泡，最后那位小车的车主经不住拖时间，以1500元了事。可也把我们等的将近中午，才急急忙忙开拔，走上青藏公路的109国道。 前方的雪山就是被称为“万山之宗”、“龙脉之祖”，在中华民族文化史上位居中国第一神山的巍巍位昆仑山。 　　 昆仑山口地处昆仑山中段，格尔木市区南160公里处，海拔4767米 昆仑山口记碑分为主碑、副碑、陪碑、雕塑、底盘五部分，材质为汉白玉。主碑高4.767米,是昆仑山口海拔高度的千分之一，碑底座用花岗岩块石砌成9.6平方米基础，象征她屹立在祖国960万平方公里的坚实土地上。 到了昆仑山口就算进入可可西里自然保护区33685915_1272165201yXHH.jpg我们已办好进入保护区的手续，将要由东向西穿越可可西里。 从昆仑山口行驶不到20分钟，就到聊不冻泉保护站　不冻泉保护站海拔3700米，据说这里的泉水常年不停的喷涌而出，即使在寒冷的严冬也从不封冻，因此被称为“不冻泉”。不冻泉被当地藏民视为神泉。在不冻泉有旅馆、商店，还有加油站，可是没有油可 加 　整个青藏铁路拉格段难度最大控制工程不冻泉特大桥，全长2.95公里。是目前世界上海拔最高，穿越冻土层最厚，科技含量最高，施工难度最大，空气最稀薄，条件最恶劣的高原特大桥。 昆仑山脉亚洲中部大山系，也是中国西部山系的主干。从东向西绵亘2,000公里(1,250哩)，西起塔吉克的帕米尔，东至昆仑山口和毗邻的青藏诸山脉——布尔汗布达山脉、巴颜喀拉山与阿尼玛卿山。昆仑山宽度变化相当大，很少超过201公里(125哩)。在西部边际，该山形成中国西部西藏高原与塔里木盆地之间的一个内亚壁垒。北部支脉阿尔金山继续延伸这一山脉组合。玉珠峰、玉虚峰传说是玉帝两个妹妹的化身，是明末道教混元派（昆仑派）道场所在地，是中国第一神山。玉珠峰，海拔6178米，位于青海格尔木南160公里的昆仑山口以东10公里，是昆仑山东段最高峰，南坡冰川末端海拔约5100米；北坡冰川延伸至4400米。山峰顶部常年被冰雪所覆盖不冻泉大桥底看到的昆仑山玉珠峰  虽然还在青海境内，可道班却是西藏的道班，不知何故。  　　 可可西里国家级自然保护区管理局共有5个保护站，其中常年有人值守的保护站4个，全部都分布在109国道边。按照距格尔木（管理局所在地）的远近，分别为沱沱河保护站、五道梁保护站、索南达杰保护站和不冻泉保护站。可可西里腹地的卓乃湖保护站由于条件恶劣，每年7、8月藏羚羊产羔期才开始派人值守。索南达杰自然保护站https//www.xxcb.com.cn/show.asp?id=182950 30　　　这个没有先例的我国第一个民间环保站,是以因保护可可西里野生动物而壮烈牺牲的原治多县委书记杰桑.索南达杰的名字命名的。1994年1月18日,索南达杰被偷猎者打死后,在零下四十度的严寒中被冻成一尊持枪射击的冰雕。他曾经说过“在中国办事如果不死几个人, 是很难引起全社会重视的。如果需要死人,就让我死在最前面。”他生前梦寐以求的, 就是在青藏公路边建一个自然保护站, 从而遏制疯狂的淘金者和偷猎者。 　　来自四川的探险家, 摄影师杨欣走过这里, 听到索南达杰的呼唤, 便义无反顾地走上了索南达杰的道路。1984年,“绿色江河”发起人杨欣开始关注长江,15次到长江源头地区考察,发现长江源头地区生态问,1995年倡导发起“保护长江源,爱我大自然”活动。1997年在长江源头建立起中国民间第一个自然生态环境保护站——索南达杰自然保护站,同时开展了系列的长江源生态环境考察和环境保护宣传教育活动,启动了民间长江源环境保护运动。  　 由于索达南杰保护站附近水源的盐碱含量高人不能饮用，他们每隔四五天就要到三十公里之外的不冻泉去拉水。他们日常生活所需的粮食和蔬菜也要到几百公里之外的格尔木去购买。　　 每个保护站都配备一辆巡逻专用的吉普，主要用以巡线工作。 在索南达杰保护站看到与公路平行的青藏铁路和巍巍昆仑雪山、玉珠峰 就在索南达杰保护站旁边不远处的叉道上进入可可西里腹地。　15时24分满载给养的红色的东风沙漠王给养车正在离开109国道 离开国道不过6分钟，距离不足1000米，青藏公路上的车辆仍然可见，可可西里的道路就给了我们当头一棒。　　 15时30分给养车陷入泥潭，动弹不得帅帅龙帅发表于 昨天 2017 | 只看该作者 zhangxiaoyun111 发表于 昨天 2025 ゛偝鮑殪鏃灬发表于 昨天 2041

这里海拔4500米，挥动铁锹铲泥土可不是一件容易的事，泥土粘在铲上，黏性很大，每铲一铲都要消耗大量的体力，大运动量更易引起高原反应 　好不容易将受陷的车轮后面的泥土挖出一个缓坡，铺上带来的备用木板，两部越野车同时拉牵，有如蚍蜉撼树，大车没有反应，加到最大马力，大车还是一动不 动2#车的后梁都拉了变形，还是一点反应没有，可把2#的小卫师傅好个心痛了 得。 只好就地扎营，在这片泥泞潮湿的草滩上搭起加厚大帐篷第一天搭帐篷，都是生手，在几位师傅的指点下，费好大劲才支起。因为帆布夹棉，顶和两侧的大盖非常重，要六人才能支起。前后廉的三角尖处高度较高，也只有1米8几蛋糕才能够得到 。开火弄吃，今晚可是8月15中秋节啊，可不能太过 委屈小卫师傅也要露两手，来个清炖手抓羊肉。我对羊肉的膻味接受不了，只有远看的份。八月十五好歹还有月 饼充饥 玉虚峰相传为玉皇大帝的妹妹玉虚神女居住的地方。传说，当年玉皇大帝见昆仑山雄伟高大，气势轩昂，景象万千，且离天庭很近，便在昆仑山顶修建了一座轩辕行宫。玉帝的妹妹玉虚得知后，很不服气，说玉帝霸占的地方太多了

四时田园杂兴

本贴是小编在8264的处女贴，因为是个“生态学家”，所以必然先为大家介绍奇特的物种。小编酷爱野生动物，自然环境，以及相关的户外活动。曾亲身考察了各个洲的部分区域，将会以图文并茂的方式提供给大家不同当地物种与环境的知识，分享小编的个人经历。希望大家积极参与国外户外活动。如有不明处请不要犹豫询问小编，小编必定知无不言言无不尽。本帖主：山地大猩猩 Mountain Gorilla活动地点：东非 （Uganda乌干达，Rwanda卢旺达）主要景点：布温迪不可穿越的森林国家公园 （乌干达）Bwindi Impenetrable National Park https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1821265-pid-33537862.html  维龙加火山国家公园 （卢旺达）Virunga Volcanic National Park https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1821265-pid-33547215.html附加景点 伊丽莎白国家公园 (乌干达) Elizabeth National Parkhttps//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1821265-pid-33494840.html维龙加山地形图，山脉横跨乌干达，卢旺达与刚果。直奔主吧，非洲“山地大猩猩”保守估计少于1000只，属于严重濒危物种（严重程度超过大熊猫与江豚）。分布在乌干达，卢旺达与刚果的国家公园境内，属纯野生动物。银背：一个家族的首领，当仁不让的保护者。 雄性在成年后，背部会长出银灰色的毛，身高大约在1.8米，体重200公斤，臂长2.3米，十分了得。 后背毛发短，手臂毛发长而茂密。小编不敢亲身体验他的力道，所以无从估计，实在抱歉！不过听公园管理员说，10个美式橄榄球运动员也不能抗衡一只银背.  看到我们一行人后，自觉提醒家族成员，是一位首领的任务。 行注目礼立刻抱起并保护幼崽。来几张局部特写 （虽然爬了5个小时的山，但是扛着大白镜头是完全正确的）看到我们并无敌意，开始悠哉的打盹了。 （估计是刚刚吃饱） 大猩猩咬力惊人，遇到敌人时一定会撕咬对方。哥们你是不是改减减肥了，看你腰间那游泳圈！呵，“沉思者”你这还玩起造型来了？ 看到我们一行人不停围着族群走动拍照，显得有些不耐烦了，开始咆哮！ （其实也就是打个哈气）仔细看上去，银背还是很帅的。雌性：哺育家族下一代的呵护者。体重几乎为雄性的一半：100公斤，身高1.3米，胸前有傲人的双峰，头部也比雄性小很多，容易区别。小编一行人里的妹子们！ 你们看人家多么汹涌澎湃！幼崽在母亲的怀里很安逸。特写： “你在想什么呢”？“小宝宝与妈妈” 这伟大的一刻让我抓拍下来了！ 我们这使劲的拍，你就不能关照一下吗？ 就知道睡！你表情那么凝重干嘛？雌性局部特写未完待续，还有幼崽，家族结构，国家公园风景，其他大草原上的动物的介绍，以及全部东非生态游的行程慨括。幼崽：活泼可爱，却命运不定的嬉戏者。猩猩幼崽喜爱玩耍，经常爬树，与其他幼崽摔跤，打闹，游戏。这样有助于他们的成长与学习，必要时成年雄性与雌性也会参加到游戏当中。爸爸说：“喂，你过去跟这帮人类打个招呼，注意点啊。”小家伙爬到离我们差不多2米的距离是，我旁边的小妹估计是有点害怕，站起身来要往后退。 当时银背就立起来了，我那个汗啊！ 预感要出事了，公园巡逻员立刻按住小妹让她蹲下，才避免了悲剧发生。还知道找妈妈要东西吃！幼年的猩猩活动量非常大，几乎没有闲着的时候，扒高上低让我们很难抓拍。算了，直接上嘴咬吧。小编一开始为什么说幼崽的命运是不定的呢？ 这就要从大猩猩的族群制度开始讲起了，首先一个族群只能有一个领头银背，4-7个左右的成年雌性，3-5个成年雄性 （也可能是首领银背的兄弟或儿子），其他为4岁以下的幼年猩猩。大猩猩没有领地性，哪里有实物就去哪里。偶尔遇到豹子之类的掠食者，银背会挺身而出，但是惧怕变色龙与鳄鱼等爬行类动物。当遇到另一个族群时，如果出现矛盾，银背会开始攻击对方的首领，直到死亡。当一个族群没有首领时，幼年的猩猩就会被新首领杀死，以保证自己与后代以后不受威胁，生物上称这种现象为 infanticide (杀婴）。 聊完山地大猩猩，那么开始介绍这一趟旅行的过程。我们做的是埃塞俄比亚航公公司的班级，大家也可以选择肯尼亚航空，这一点不详细介绍了。DAY 1： 乌干达首都： 坎帕拉。 听向导RICHARD 讲，坎帕拉有五个丘陵，分别成为一个镇区，当地的人民虽然在城里长大但是都有自己所属的部族。我们外国人当然分不清啦！也学了几句Swahili,但是现在全忘了。整个城区就是一个字，乱。毕竟经济不发达，而且自从1962年独立后也饱受国家民族内战，希望以后会慢慢好起来。以为独立之前是英殖民，所以公路上也是左行，偶尔能看见基座高楼，十字路口也会有白衣警察。80%多人都信奉基督，具体是天主教还是新教没有多问，也有伊斯兰教徒。在坎帕拉其中一个山丘俯瞰城区市里的清真寺([]

夫人，你马甲又掉了!

写在前面：这两天在看顾城的《走了一万一千里路》，其中和书名同名的这首诗带给俺不少触动，确实为什么我会喜欢上这路上的感觉，除了登山，在一个具有深厚历史底蕴的城市的游走，都成为我“在路上”的组成。有时就觉得：或许我就是诗中的这男孩，只为了一种信仰的追寻。只是俺还没走完了这一万一千里路，又或许只是走了其中之一小段，不过恰逢8264的帖子刚过了11000帖O(∩_∩)O哈！然而走一万一千里路，也就此成为俺心中的一份追逐。 《走了一万一千里路》 走了一万一千里路　　男孩走进峡谷　　他看见了炮兵连长的汽车。　　　　他说： “借给我车吧　　我要去赶救主基督”　　连长说：“不，我不糊涂　　我是连长，要回连部”.很短的一首诗，却意味深长。也正因为此，原想用这诗名做俺帖子的名字，可后来想想，还是用了现在这名字O(∩_∩)O哈哈~以免被疑为党，同时我这又不是藏地之旅，俺也木有去过；因为，可能在很多人看来，只有到了西藏登山，才算是一种真正的身心灵之旅。除此，不外乎是一种旅游罢了。可是于我来说，我喜欢登山，它确是一种心灵与自然的对话，而城市的游走包含了更深层次的人文意义，两者都在我心产生共鸣与撞击。曾经在上学时就期盼着那一天走一走中国的六大古都，这也是俺最初的户外梦想，后来它成了我登山之外的一个理想。如今，除了南京呆了一个月，真正行走个便，北京走了一部分，其余还处于未决。不过，有时真的感恩生活，虽然离我的理想还有好大距离，却也去了一些个不错的地方，人总是要知足感恩。而在走过的这些地方中，厦门绝对可以称为其中的翘楚，是一个可让你用心体会的地方。并且，俺是一个很怀旧的人，去一个地方，总要将这地的老街道给探寻出来。今年去凤凰参加8264的露营大会，顺带去了重庆，留下不少即将逝去的影像记录，感兴趣的朋友可至下面的帖子循迹O(∩_∩)O哈！https//bbs.8264.com/thread-1211835-1-1.html这次厦门之行曾经在本地论坛分为5帖发过，这次重新整理合为一贴，相信我的行程会给和我一样喜欢厦门即将出行的朋友们一个帮助，户外需要这样的分享，在分享中彼此交流，结交朋友。第一次在攻略版发帖，照相技术有点让俺汗颜，因不熟悉单反的操作，加之天气不好，可能ISO 被俺无意中手误调高，片片太亮，大海看上去白茫茫一片。看来俺滴摄影之路任重道远，不尽之处请大家海涵！不过却第一次体验了一把行摄之旅。俺不是一个很棒的写手，可能片片多过文字，但只要能给朋友们帮助，也不枉俺滴辛苦发帖了，俺自信这些片片都是出行厦门的经典，可以作为出行的图片攻略；喜欢这样率性的行走，瞎拍。O(∩_∩)O哈哈~另外插一句，此行所有景点可以说是连于一线，所以一张厦门旅游地图足以，对于城市旅游，地图是最好的帮手。在这三天中，走这么多地方，唯一的记录就是这些凝聚我情感的片片，片片我心情O(∩_∩)O哈！建议大家用4-5天时间。就用片片代替文字给大家传递厦门的驴行信息。不足之处，望见谅～时间：2011年12.7-12.11，12.7 10：45昆明飞厦门，12.11 20：30厦门回昆明。但是7-8号为培训（因为这次出行是借一次出差的机会），只有9-11为俺自由活动的时间，在这三天中，我走的地方堪称经典。由于行文需要，行程稍作合并，因很多地方是俺分两次去的。此贴片片上百张，可能更新较慢，但不会让大家失望滴。时间有限，尽量用镜头将看到的记录下来，大家权当记录片看好了O(∩_∩)O哈！在这三天中，俺滴帮手就是地图和公交车，大部分时间用脚走路，也不知走了多少O(∩_∩)O哈！此次的行程：一、骑行环岛路（世界最美马拉松赛道）。二、漫步厦门大学（中国最美大学），看黑天鹅。三、胡里山炮台（现存世最大的海岸炮）。四、鼓浪屿（海上空中花园）寻林语堂故居五、铁路文化公园（曾经的厦门铁路历史），金榜公园。六、厦门特色小吃（都是老字号）及中山路（厦门最有味道的老街），厦门第一码头，南普陀寺，12.10中山路看月全食。在厦门唯一留影，骑行环岛路路上让路人帮拍。其余时间都在用心行走，也就没留下身影了O(∩_∩)O哈哈~突然发现俺的《骑行环岛路》片片不知为啥顺序乱了，不知是啥原因，请斑竹们帮看下，我上片片时顺序都是对的，谢谢！请好友们见谅！片片太多，为尽快发帖，给大家一个最经典的厦门映像，上完片后，有的文字待补。以这首《长征》做俺户外梦想的注脚victory红军不怕远征难， 万水千山只等闲。五岭逶迤腾细浪，乌蒙磅礴走泥丸。金沙水拍云崖暖，大渡桥横铁索寒。更喜岷山千里雪，三军过后尽开颜。  第一部：骑行环岛路环岛路是厦门国际马拉松比赛的主赛道，被誉为世界最美的马拉松赛道。全程31公里，路宽44～60米，为双向6车道，绿化带80～100米，是厦门市环海风景旅游干道之一。环岛路的建设一直奉行“临海见海，把最美的沙滩留给百姓”的宗旨，有的依山傍海，有的凌海架桥，有的穿石钻洞，充分体现了亚热带风光特色。其中从厦门大学到前埔的一段海岸，长约9公里，称为黄金海岸线。 自然，到此骑行也成为厦门游最值得做的7件事情之一。怀着这一憧憬，也为着体验一次骑行的乐趣，12月11日早晨7点钟从旅舍出发，在厦大待了两小时后，9点来到厦大白城，租了辆自行车，踏上征途。我的骑行线路为白城到“一国两制”，全程9公里，耗时2个半小时。吹着海风，聆听海浪拍击岸边的声响，平生第一次当了回骑友，这是一次毕生难忘的经历。这是从厦门大学出来后，过了这座天桥，就是白城沙滩，天气变得很快，之前还是晴空，一会就山雨欲来风满楼，满布乌云，还飞了几丝毛毛雨，海风吹来冷飕飕的。想着自己的一个人，及近来发生的一些个事，心中陡添愁绪。冬风习习冬雨凄凄我竟何故与世迷离改自顾城一首诗  鸡抱窝僧坐禅心明月神鸡蛋——顾城的一首禅诗海滩上的一名“僧人”，不知是在等待，还是在找寻，那普世迷茫的众生，脱离这世上的苦海。看到我过来，上前准备与俺结缘，可惜，信仰有别，无奈的走开。 这波涛，起起伏伏，正如人一生的旅程。  这是厦门音乐广场。 看着这绿树成荫，感觉原来厦门的冬天 一点不输俺昆明，在俺以前的概念中，仿佛到了冬天出了云南，到处一片萧疏，没想到原来是俺思想太过狭隘O(∩_∩)O哈！ 这里印象中路的对面好像是椰风寨，不过想来可能和俺昆明民族村差不多，也木有多少时间，只能留待下次。好大一棵榕树，不知对不对哈。 这红色的部分的路就是骑行道，设计者考虑很周到。 看到这白海豚，一阵惊喜，走近方知这里是白海豚保护区，期盼能看到一只白海豚跃出水面，等了半天，还是只能看到这花丛中的白海豚，看来俺木有这样的好运气O(∩_∩)O哈！ 吭哧吭哧，骑得俺是满身酸痛，终于看到这“一国两制，统一中国”了，听说，在对面台湾，也有这样的语是“三民主义，统一中国”，木有去过，不知真假，不便评说。但两岸的统一，想来也是你我的美好愿望吧。 这个雕塑的背景，就是大海，只可惜在俺这悲催的摄技下，已看不出大海了，不过也正好突出了这手的造型O(∩_∩)O哈！ 还好，这张可以看到海了，可不知为什么，厦门海水的颜色和俺N年前看到的一个样，灰扑扑的，不是印象中那蔚蓝色的海面。不过能看到海，也算一桩美事，对于像俺这种终年生活在内陆省份的人来说，俺从小就向往大海，可唯一能看到的就是滇池。直至后来在深圳大梅沙，第一次看到大海。后来在平时读书中接触了古希腊罗马的文化，对于孕育海洋文化的地方有了浓厚兴趣，印象里不知在那看过，欧洲文化是一种源自希腊罗马的海洋文化，中国文化是大陆山地文化。觉得还是有一种道理。 一尊很大的妈祖像，目之所至，应该就是宝岛台湾。([]

11月，maple改变暴走风格，在各处旅行的间歇，也来一段放松的旅游度假。时间，是最好的治愈剂，虽然此行中有些许不愉快，但是在整理照片的时候，还是很开心，看到自己搞怪的照片，不由得笑出了声。喜欢跳跃，喜欢在海边赤脚行走，享受这种无拘无束。周末的傍晚，是我最开心的时间，听着范玮琪的歌，慢慢来描绘这块记忆中的普吉拼图。枫叶邀请您新加坡之旅各种美图-（附如何办理新加坡过境随意行SSH指南）150楼更新多张大图（完）https//bbs.8264.com/forum-viewthread-tid-1282011-highlight.html这次行程走的XC自由行，10月的时候，在四处询价后，在XC定了海航包机+芭东千禧的机+酒行程，另外预定了接送机+PP一日游+simon秀+古法按摩一次这次出行，对XC服务的印象非常不错。泰国果然是个旅游城市，虽然语言不通，但是因为全套的XC服务，因此少了不少纯自由行的麻烦。关于住宿奢侈的旅行就是好，出了机场专车就等着呢。预定的是芭东千禧酒店，在芭东最繁华的地区。酒店很不错，但是没有能免费升级房间。泰国女服务员都好温柔，声音好好听，不过泰式英语很是锻炼我的听力。之前询价的时候，想订莫温匹克度假村，但是没想到那里那么火爆，提前一个月就没有房间了。找寻了多家，最后决定的还是千禧酒店。不过后来在闲逛的时候发现Phuket resort，离海更近，看大堂也非常不错，下次来可以选择这里。千禧酒店有两翼，lake side 和beach side，大家别误会，这里没有湖也没有海滩，只是这么叫而已。普通房型都集中在lakeside，从大堂穿过去就是robinson和家乐福，去海滩的话，穿过酒吧街步行8-10分钟就到了，也不远。要是预算充足，这里的确是不错的选择。另外提一句，回程我的是晚上夜航，所以免费延迟到2点退房。而且退房之后，从海滩回来后还可以在酒店免费使用shower room，其实就是给你一张间的房卡，让你洗澡。这项服务比较出乎我的意料，非常贴心。行程花费如下：名称市场价实卖价计价单位基本费用机票+酒店直飞+晚住宿5005元人观光游PP岛一日游（大船）（成人）252160人活动普吉岛PASS（2小时泰式古法按摩）280120人演出SIMON人妖秀（VIP座位）--105人证泰国旅游证（适用包机产品，北京送）100100人保险平安携程境外短线保险 经典型9090份交通接驳普吉机场-普吉酒店单程接机服务（专车 4-9人）--150辆普吉酒店-普吉机场单程送机服务（专车 4-9人）--150辆赠送赠送普吉岛自由行PASS（折扣版）--0 --本虽然之前听说，芭东的海滩没有kata或者karon好，但我们还是很满意的。沙子很细，人不多，老外大都是趴在沙滩上晒太阳，看书，聊天，下水的不多。躺椅2把+阳伞不限时200泰铢。这里虽然很热，但是躲在阳伞下，看看云彩，想想心事，可谓优哉游哉。看我发现了什么？海滩上散落着很多小贝壳，一只只像张开的翅膀，飞呀飞。一望无际的大海，真舒服，11月的普吉，很晒，但不是很粘腻。事实证明，普吉太阳好毒，国内带过去的水宝宝被生生用了一瓶，当然，那边也有卖高倍数防晒和美黑霜的。没有比较价格，便利店和商场都有。芭东海滩朝西，看不见日出，但是一定要去看日落余晖。落日中的海滩，游人逐渐散去，白天喧闹的热度被海水冲凉。慢慢走在细腻的沙滩上，留下的脚印瞬间又被海浪带走，就好像人生中的烦恼，回头看看，果真都不算得什么。泰国普吉岛之Season 2：美食1、吃在大排档晚上的芭东，是声色的娱乐场，太多酒吧太多色诱。如果是单身男女，很容易在这里结识朋友吧。我们一群人，还是老老实实的去找网上有名的yoyo祭五脏庙吧。千禧前面的路是北往南单行线，全都是小tutu和小摩托呼啸而过。从千禧芭东出来往右手走10分钟，在路西，就看到一个个大排档，yoyo就在第二家。yoyo的海鲜很新鲜，一定要砍价啊，准就是砍到老板急了为止。与当地人沟通交流的过程，也是旅途中值得回味纪念的一部分。在yoyo是先选食材，然后选择做法。因为中国的游客很多，所以在这里点菜一点都没有问，菜单上都有英文有照片，实在不行我们就使用绝技：比划！上菜啦：饮料必点mango shake。普吉热带水果也别多，新鲜的、榨成果汁的、做成煎饼的。菠萝饭，比国内的料足，里面有大颗腰果，大粒鸡肉，上面盖着肉松，好吃的紧。冬阴功汤，嗜辣的朋友肯定喜欢，不要看表面波澜不惊，但是下面藏着大虾、鱿鱼。([]

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([]
