林郁萍质感强烈花盛开清丽高贵胡姬花园大门处 在北半球寒风凛冽时，新加坡永远却是夏天的模样，早晨出门会有淡淡凉意，到正午却是艳阳高照。到新加坡旅游，不能不看新加坡的国花---胡姫花。 胡姫花是新加坡的国花，其实就是兰花。东南亚通称兰花为胡姬花。新加坡人则称为“卓锦-万代兰”，因为侨居新加坡的亚美尼亚人卓锦女士在自己花园里培育而成。因花朵清丽端庄、生命力特强，它象征新加坡人的气质和刻苦耐劳、果敢奋斗的精神。 在新加坡观赏胡姬花非国家胡姬园莫属。 国家胡姬园（National Orchid Garden）坐落于新加坡植物园最高的山冈上，占地约四公顷，目前培育了超过2000多个品种的胡姬花。这里的胡姬花以全世界名女人来命名，包括造访新加坡的撒切尔夫人和戴安娜王妃，都可以在胡姬花园内找到同名的兰花品种。 其中最特别的是卓锦万代兰(Vanda Miss Joaquim)，其于1893年由卓锦（Miss Joaquim)在当地意外发现这款原生钟兰花，罕见独特，在1981年4月15日被定为新加坡国花。其花朵长约7厘米，宽约6.5厘米，浅紫红色的花瓣上布有深紫红斑点，中间部分为深玫瑰色，花管呈橙黄色，四季盛开，鲜艳动人，而且在恶劣的条件下，也能含芳吐艳。 园内60000多株色彩绚丽的胡姬花在热带植物的映衬下光彩夺目。缤纷的胡姬花与热带植物交相辉映，蜿蜒园中的台阶小路，领略春天的芬芳和传说中的繁花似锦。 众多的胡姬花，有的淡雅，有的娇艳，但不管怎样，胡姬花在骨子里都透出一种天生的高贵气质。 不管怎样，对于喜欢花草的人来说，漫步国家胡姬园赏花、拍花都是不错的选择。感受新加坡之一——漫步岛国看狮城 干净清新亦繁华（概述篇） https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2172957-1-1.html感受新加坡之二——休闲小岛走不停 亚洲最南寻风情（圣淘沙篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&;tid=2182169&page=1&extra=#pid50347652感受新加坡之三——参天巨树生满园热带风情绿无限（植物园篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2231866&;page=1&;extra=#pid53500784感受新加坡之四——绿意充盈总统府世外桃源乌敏岛（总统府和乌敏岛篇）https//bbs.8264.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2253589&page=1&extra=#pid55203314感受新加坡之五——海风轻拂鱼尾狮 流光溢彩夜迟迟（滨海湾篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2255988-1-1.html感受新加坡之七——小印度里寻缩影甘榜格南回族情（新加坡河等篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2322447-1-1.html 感受新加坡之八——立体交通路纵横街道小区绿充盈（交通和街道篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2326625-1-1.html 感受新加坡之九——狮城春节气息浓牛车水里最喜庆（春节和牛车水篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2330106-1-1.html感受新加坡之十——方式灵活有初院 环境优美好校园（南初篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2344728-1-1.html感受新加坡之十一——享誉全球名高校 环境优雅美校园（南大篇）https//bbs.8264.com/thread-2354269-1-1.html 新加坡胡姬花园在新加坡地图上的位置 园内的流水景观 花开艳丽 黄的温暖 蓝白相间 红的似火 低头迎客 艳丽无比 红红火火 室内的胡姬花 园区分布平面图 紫色是最多见的胡姬花之一 白色胡姬花也很多见 花开满园 黄色是最多见的胡姬花之一 园内处处花盛开 艳丽之花初初见 园内处处花盛开 黄的耀眼 阳光下的花儿 质感很强的胡姬花 花开朵朵 花色满园 满园花色 耀眼的花蕊 花开朵朵 独放花枝 热带风情浓郁的花草 花开满园关不住
二品一标和三品一标
张玉松序六年前。我刚开始练习瑜伽，瑜伽馆的一位老师，每年都会去印度呆上一段时间，学习瑜伽。那一次，他准备带学生一同前往。我虽心向往之，但他计划的时间，我完全没有假期，只好作罢。我记得他对大家说，在印度不能乱吃东西，否则很容易拉肚子。一年前。深夜，妹夫从印度打来电话，说妹妹因染上登革热，高烧不退，住进了医院，白细胞和血小板不断减少，医生说，如果血小板继续减少，就需要输血，建议由直系亲属输血。妹妹已是第二次去印度，因妹夫被成都的公司外派到德里，负责印度市场的销售，所以这两年的十一，她都会去印度探望他。前年呆了一月，她安然无恙。怎么这一次，只是因为被蚊子叮咬，就染上了登革热？而事实上，每年9、10月份，都是印度中北部地区登革热高发期，卫生条件的不完善便是重要原因。当时，我对蟋蟀头说，没想到，我会因这种原因去印度。赶紧上网查询如何办理印度证。妹夫说，再等一晚，看这晚我妹的身体状况再作决定。所幸，那一晚妹妹的相关指数开始出现好转，并于三天后顺利出院。但，“明年我们去印度吧”，就这样提上了议程。在S姐的建议下，我们提前大半年就订好了去印度的往返机票。我不是喜欢做功略的人，但想去的地方太多，时间却太少，提前做好计划，便能让旅行变得从容点。尤其是，印度软件业发达，提前四个月便能在网上订火车票，电子票打印出来，就可直接使用，方便程度远甚于中国铁路；印度的许多旅馆都有自己的网站，可网上在线订房，也可通过发邮件的方式预订。当然，在订票订房的过程中，也发生过种种问，种种纠结，和阿三们不断通过邮件进行沟通。但渐渐，我发现这也很有趣，我的印度之行，似乎提前几个月便已开始。我关心行程，蟋蟀头却只关心安全。毕竟，这是一个不可思议的国度。不可思议，并不是我说的，这可是印度旅游局的全球宣传口号：Incredible India不可思议的印度。今年7月30日和31日，接连发生在印度北部的两次大停电事故，使得印度半个国家瘫痪，6亿多人的日常生活受到影响，占印度总人口的一半左右。美联社称：“有史以来最大的停电事故已由印度创造！”同样是7月下旬，印度东北部阿萨姆邦土著与穆斯林移民爆发种族冲突，并酿成大规模流血事件。8月25日，又发生两起新的攻击，使得该邦因骚乱死亡人数累计接近90人，数千人流离失所。因太多人逃离，一度造成该地区的铁路中枢系统瘫痪。所以，蟋蟀头的担心，并非毫无道理。我和他解释，我们去的虽然是印度北部，但主要是在拉贾斯坦邦，和那个发生冲突的地区没有一点关系。至于停电嘛，好吧，我也不知道到时是否会发生，但，如果发生的时候，我们可以身在其中，我觉得这也非常有劲。的确，对于爱冒险的我来说，印度正因为种种不可思议，才充满无限魅力。在游记开始之前，让我们先来唱颂一次OM，shanti shanti shantihi （欧姆，香缇 香缇 香缇 嘿）这是我们每次瑜伽课开始和结束时，都会唱颂的一句话。OM，被瑜伽认为是最古老最神圣的梵音，是万物源头的声音，是内在的声音。而香缇，则意为平和、和谐。这也是我在瓦拉纳西的恒河河祭时听到的唱颂声，在日落时的斋浦尔、焦特浦尔城市上方回响的晚祷声。。。唱颂OM的力量，可为你打开心扉，将内心做一次清理。因为我希望你能暂时抛开关于印度的种种成见与偏见，跟随我的游记来一次印度之旅。以平和的心态，去看待印度的好与不好。毕竟，正因这些神奇，成就了这个不可思议的国度。一、抵达...........................................................P5二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡.....................................P8三、火车旅行.................................................... P24四、瓦拉纳西，在生命的大剧场里出离 .................P36五、泰姬陵，故事比宫殿更美妙............................P89六、斋浦尔。意想不到的美好...............................P124七、乌代浦尔。有一种浪漫叫相遇.........................P167八、千柱庙。千根石柱万般风情............................P195九、焦特浦尔。寻找日益消失的蓝.........................P206十、杰伊瑟尔梅尔。金色之城的探险之旅................P219十一、德里。起点，也是终点................................P229 这次一反常规，在游记开始前先奉上功略，只因为我想鼓励那些对印度感兴趣的同学，如果喜欢，就上路吧。上路，其实没你想像中那么复杂。证篇办理印度证，最早只能在出发前一个月。只要准备好相应材料，印度证非常容易申请，一般在提交资料后五个工作日内便可领取证。送后，在上海印度证中心的网站上，可在线查询证受理的进度。审核完成，便可去证中心领取护照。在上海办理印度证需准备如下材料：1、证申请表一份。（在线填写https//www.vfs-india.com.cn/shanghai/chinese/tourist_appliCATionform.html，并打印）2、2张近期（50mm

火车篇作为铁轨上的国度，印度是亚洲最早拥有铁路系统的国家，至今已有150多年的铁路历史。铁路总长63200多公里，亚洲第二、世界第三。到印度旅行，不能不坐火车，因为它是最便捷的交通工具。而且，在这个不靠谱的国家，尽管火车晚点现象严重，但还是要比乘飞机靠谱许多。 1、购票网站www.cleartrip.com 非常好用的购票网站，不仅可以订火车票，也可订机票及住宿。 提前四个月就可订票。座位等级分为：AC First Class(1A)/AC2 Tier/ AC3 Tier/AC Chair Car(CC)/Sleeper(SL)/Second sitting(2s)带AC的都是空调车厢，AC1是软卧，分隔成一间间，有房门；AC2与AC3都是空调硬卧，区别在于AC2是两层卧铺，AC3是三层卧铺。 印度有严格的等级制，体现在火车上就是，非该等级的乘客不得随意进入。一般乘坐AC的都是社会阶层比较高的印度人，素质相对较高，车厢比较干净整洁。而乘坐二等座的则是社会地位较低的印度人，车厢内脏乱差，甚至连窗户也没。 印度火车票不贵，与中国相比，便宜很多。天气热的时候去印度，建议还是选空调车厢吧，对自己好一点，没啥不对。当然，如果以体验为名，想和当地印度人挤二等车厢，那你得作好万全的心理准备。但如果是单身女性上路，严重不建议。 2、cleartrip今年的订票新规，账号必须与印度铁路局IRCTC的账号相关联，但IRCTC的账号又必须用印度当地的手机号注册并激活。此新规一度让准备去印度的同学不知所措，但很快便有同学找到相应解决办法，并通过一次次实践加以完善。前人栽树，后人乘凉，详细的账号注册功略请参考此帖：《完全图解印度火车账号注册成功》https//bbs.qyer.com/viewthread.php?tid=635989&;extra=page%3D1 3、订火车票是实名制，详细到还需写明性别与年龄。用VISA或者MasterCard的信用卡进行网上支付。订票成功后，打印出来，便可直接使用。火车上列车员会查一次票，出示打印出来的电子票即可。AC First ClassAC2AC3 住宿篇大多时候，都是在火车上睡一宿，第二天早晨到。再加上乘火车可以预先知道出发与到达的时间，所以时间相对比较确定，建议提前预定旅馆，再要求旅馆提供接站服务，既可避免在火车站与tutu司机砍价，在路上被tutu司机忽悠，还可节省车费（我们的六段火车，全是免费接站）以及时间。也许你会问，如果少了这些，是不是少了很多体验？当然不会，因为除了长途坐火车，在一个城市里的交通主要还是tutu，你被他们忽悠以及反忽悠的机会多了去了。一、推荐预定住宿的网站：1、www.booking.com，网页显示可选择中文，而且每个旅馆都有世界各地游客的点评，非常简单好用。2、www.cleartrip.com，印度本地的网站，从网站界面上说，和booking.com一样好用，但全英文的页面，对于中国人来说，肯定不如全中文页面来得清楚。而且有时同一个旅店，在cleartrip上订需预先付费，但booking就不需要，而且在入住日期前几天，还可无条件取消预订。所以此次行程，如果没有旅店的官方网站，我就在booking.com上预定。二、推荐查看旅店评价的网站：www.tripadvisor.in中文版即 到到网此网站只能查询，不能预订，所以从某个角度来说，上面的点评比较中肯。即使是别人游记中推荐的旅馆，建议你还是来此网站上看看大家对该旅馆的评价。虽然个人感受都比较主观，也许一只老鼠就可毁掉你对这家旅馆的所有好印象，也可能会因一个小花园而对它赞不绝口。尽管如此，综合大多数人的点评，你还是可以有个比较全面的了解，以更好做出你的选择。所以，我们此次行程订的七家旅馆，除了最后一家稍微有点不值，其余都非常好。为了方便大家参考，我把预订的七家旅馆逐一作个点评。但需要提醒的是，房间不同、时间不同，房价差异会很大。每年10月下旬至3月，印度较为凉爽，比较适合旅行，房价会比夏季价格偏贵。 1、德里——Hotel Hari Piorko价格： Rs.1650+10%= Rs.1815/晚 住一晚 从机场接机Rs.700预订方式：www.book.com预订点评：位置非常好，位于背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区，也就是鼎鼎大名的Main Bazaar。距离新德里火车站500米，距离康诺特广场1公里。我通过邮件，预订了酒店的接机服务，对方在邮件里告诉我，到酒店前台付出租车的费用。可到了酒店，工作人员却出尔反尔，明明说好是Rs.700，却要收Rs.800，当然，最后也只收了Rs.700。另外，我们到酒店住下时已是凌晨三点，淋浴只有冷水，没有热水。关于淋浴，我曾特地在邮件里和酒店确认过，因为在tripadvisor上有人点评说，酒店晚上没有热水淋浴。酒店在邮件里保证，一定有热水淋浴的，请我放心。说得那么肯定，结果还是没热水。不过，到了早晨，热水淋浴倒是蛮好的。除了那两点，该酒店各方面都还不错，在tripadvisor上的口碑很好，也是cleartrip推荐的酒店之一。推荐指数：★★★☆☆其余酒店参考：Ginger Hotel（Ginger New Delhi）：距离新德里火车站200米，连锁酒店，类似如家。坐机场快线到火车站，出来后对面就是。https//www.gingerhotels.com/HotelSearchResults/Default.aspx本打算预订这家酒店，但提前几个月，网站就显示新德里店房间全满。据说这只是酒店的营销策略而已，因为新德里店位置较好，大家往往都订这家店，而导致在德里的另一连锁店没有生意，所以一般只会提前一点时间开放预订。我觉得酒店这种想法很奇怪，我们并不会因为你这家店满了，就选择你的另一家店，我完全可以选择相同地段的其他店。印度人的思维模式有时真的很奇怪。 2、瓦拉纳西——Scindhia Guest House价格：Rs.1800 + 12.42% tax = Rs.2025/晚（含早餐）有阳台，有空调，有冰箱 住两晚预订方式：酒店网站https//www.scindhiaguesthouse.com/index.html 在线预订Email：scindhiaguesthouse@yahoo.com点评：酒店就在恒河边，每个房间都面向恒河。因为在焚尸台Scindhia Ghat旁边，所以酒店的名字是Scindhia Guest House。酒店非常干净，地板擦得很亮，和外面的环境相比宛如两个世界。酒店口碑极好，最好提前预订，但很多人都抱怨发了邮件去订房，却没有任何回音，只好放弃。建议直接在酒店网页上在线预订。我当时在网上在线填写预订表格并提交，十七天后，酒店发来邮件，确认我的预订。虽然我对这家酒店强烈推荐，但我写到这里，刚看了一下网站，相同的房间，房价已涨至Rs.3373，房价有效期从2012-10-1至2013-3-31。推荐指数：★★★★★其余酒店参考：Alka Hotel, www.hotelalkavns.com因座落在恒河边，被好些网友称为瓦拉纳西的首选。我发邮件询价，然后看tripadvisor上对该酒店的最新评价都不太好，说房间旧，不干净，服务也不好。酒店回我邮件告诉价格，尽管房价比Scindhia Guest House便宜许多，我还是没有选择这家。房间外的阳台相连我们的房间，有阳台，有空调，有冰箱从阳台上看到的恒河风景 3、阿格拉——Sai Home Stay Bed & Breakfast价格：Rs.1550/晚（含早餐）住一晚预订方式：www.book.com预订酒店Email：saihomestay@yahoo.com点评：选中这家，只能说是缘分，看tripadvisor上的评价，很多人认为是在印度住过的最好的一家酒店，便让我立即决定选择它。尽管从旅馆的名字来看，似乎只是一家小得不能再小的家庭旅馆。旅馆真的不大，只有几个房间，但房间却挺大，装修很新，很干净。有一个小花园，小得只能放下一张桌子，但在那里吃早餐，却是非常温馨。老板很亲切，很有气质，英语说得非常好，一看就属于印度的中上层人士。他家的菜也做得非常好吃。尤其是餐具，精致漂亮，感觉他是一个很会生活的人。而且这家还是我们此行中最便宜的一家旅馆！推荐指数：★★★★★我们的房间小花园 4、斋普尔——The Umaid bhawan heritage Hotel价格：Rs. 2600/晚（含早餐）有空调，有冰箱 住两晚预订方式：酒店网站https//www.umaidbhawan.com/index.htm 在线预订，需输入信用卡信息作为预定担保，如果在预订时间没有入住该酒店，会被扣掉相应房费。点评：这是我们行程中房价第二贵的一家酒店，因火车晚上 22：20才到斋浦尔，加上晚点因素，估计我们到酒店都快24点了，但也要算一晚的房费，定这么贵的房是否有必要？但酒店网页上的照片实在太漂亮了，美轮美奂的，让我完全失去抵抗力。等我们入住后，我有多庆幸选择了这家酒店！从进房间的一刻开始，我就给房间的每个角落拍照；第二天起床吃早餐，也是从门外的露台茶几，拍到餐厅；晚上又继续拍阳台上的露天餐厅与歌舞表演。拉贾斯坦在建筑和绘画上的艺术风格，在这家酒店得以淋漓尽致地呈现，精致的壁画、装饰，屋顶、屋角细致描绘的花纹，无不透着浓浓的异域气息。免费供应的早餐，并非简单的土司、蛋卷，而是丰盛的自助餐，味道还非常赞。晚餐是在露台上的餐厅，不仅有现场歌舞表演，还有现烤的羊肉，食物味道不错，我俩都爱上了那里一道用茄子做的菜肴。而且，我在这里喝到了来印度后的第一瓶啤酒。要知道，印度的很多餐厅都不供应啤酒的，因为大多数人不吃荤不喝酒不抽烟。推荐指数：★★★★★其余酒店参考：Hotel Pearl Palace, https//hotelpearlpalace.com/LP推荐，网上口碑很好。但我提前四个月预订定，也没订到，酒店回我邮件，说已客满。我很庆幸这家挤满驴友的酒店客满，有时，我比较喜欢能找一些与众不同，但又很有特色的旅馆。 5、乌代浦尔——Hibiscus Guest House 价格：Rs.2000/晚 住两晚预订方式：www.hibiscusinudaipur.com/index.html 发邮件预订酒店Email：hibiscus-udaipur@hotmail.com点评：这家酒店由tripadvisor推荐，网友评价排名第六。距离那家鼎鼎大名的dreamheaven guest house很近，走路5分钟就到。之所以没有选择据说位置超赞的dreamheaven，是因为那家被 LP推荐的酒店，历史实在太长，完全可以想像酒店陈设的老旧。在tripadvisor上果然看到很多这样的评价，让我毅然决定选择一个新旅馆。这家酒店距离湖边仅5分钟，有个雅致的小花园，非常安静。住了整整两天，除了我俩，没看到一个住客，以致于蟋蟀头在第一天就有想换酒店的冲动。我却很喜欢这样的静谧。没住dreamheaven，但可以去那里吃饭啊，据说那里的食物味道很好。但去了dreamheaven后，我非常庆幸自己的选择，dreamheaven实在太老旧了，窄小漆黑的过道，让我感觉随时都有老鼠在这里串来串去。第二天去dreamheaven旁边的一家高级酒店Karohi Haveli上厕所，顺便参观一圈后，更是让我对自己的选择欣喜。Karohi Haveli几层楼高，是家名副其实的酒店，但个人感觉酒店大而冰冷，没有小旅馆那种温暖气息。房间也没有比Hibiscus 更好。Karohi Haveli是一个网友游记中的强烈推荐，她是因为老鼠乱串，房间环境不好，从dreamheaven中逃出来的，于是把Karohi Haveli描绘得如天堂般。我很早就写了邮件想要预订这家旅馆，在邮件中我写了check in的时间，向酒店询价，酒店回我邮件，告诉了我几种房间的房价。价格很高，我又是一轮邮件和他砍价，最后他同意给我一个折扣价，面朝湖的Super DeLUXE ，Rs.3000/晚。尽管房费依然偏贵，但我想，既然在印度最浪漫的城市，住贵一点的酒店无妨。于是马上回邮件，告诉他我就定这间了，请他确认我的预订。没想到，酒店回我，这个价格只在4月-9月有效，不适用于我预订的10月。真是晕倒，我在第一封询价的邮件里就写得很清楚了，我抵达的时间是10月7日！价格不适用于10月，他给我报价干嘛？还这么折腾要了一个折扣价。再问他，那10月的价格何时出来？他回答说不知道。于是，我彻底放弃这家酒店。印度人有时教条得真是不可理喻。推荐指数：★★★★★其他酒店参考：1、dreamheaven

点评：酒店位置非常好，屋顶餐厅和阳台上都可以看到梅兰加尔古堡，感觉古堡近在咫尺。酒店老板热情得让你难以招架，亲自领我们进房间，介绍周围景点，赠送地图。他希望蟋蟀头帮他拍点照片放在他的酒店网页上，但他的举动又让我们有点不快。我们临走时，他竟要求我们给他的员工付小费，我们虽没有拒绝，但感觉奇怪。淋浴不好。于我而言，一旦淋浴不好，对该酒店的印象就会大打折扣。如果楼顶阳台上的煤气罐没开，就没有热水。而酒店并不会24小时打开煤气罐，晚上如果没有特别提醒，肯定会关掉。但这一点，我们最初并不知晓，老板领我们进房间时，讲了很多，却没讲这点。只说打开淋浴后几分钟就会有热水。晚上我洗澡时，等了十多分钟，也仅一点温水。等蟋蟀头去洗澡时，已经纯粹是冷水。因夜已深，我不太想再去叫醒酒店人员。但第二天早上，淋浴依然是冷水，出去问老板，他面带笑容地告诉我说，“洗澡前和我们说一下就行了！”无语。我洗澡前还要和你说吗？推荐指数：★★★☆☆我们的房间酒店的露台餐厅房间的阳台

点评：这是我们此行所住的七家酒店中，最贵的一家，但也是最令人失望的一家。可能正应了那句话，期望越大，失望越大。网上介绍，此家酒店距离杰伊瑟尔梅尔古堡只有500米远，精致的哈维利，只有七个房间，每个房间都不一样。哈维利haveli，是拉贾斯坦的传统民居，由石头筑成，装饰华丽，以石雕匠的精工细作为特色。想像中，住在金色的沙漠之城，住在具有异域风情的哈维利里，感觉一点非常美好。此家酒店的确是以石头筑成，有石头雕成的假窗，在桔黄色的灯光映衬下，拍出来的照片也挺美，但仅此而已。房间不大，没有桌子或茶几让蟋蟀头摆弄他的笔记本，让每天都要导照片看照片的他恼火不已。淋浴也不好。如果要洗澡，只能白天，或者晚上22点前。22点后就只有冷水。房间由石头砌成，隔音效果却不好。清晨我们还未醒，工作人员在与我们相隔一个房间的洗手间洗拖帕的声音，真是声声清脆，声声入耳。推荐指数：★☆☆☆☆ 功略写完了。我提供的功略较为简单扼要，只有最基本的证与住行，并没有各种注意事项等细节。那些细节，我更愿意用游记的形式与你分享。我认为，功略应该成为你的拐仗，而非限制；要因为功略，使你的旅行更加从容，而不要因为功略，给自己设定太多条条框框。如果你有完全充足的时间，也许你可以完全无视功略，走到哪儿算哪儿。也许处处有惊喜，但也有可能惊喜变成惊吓。不管怎样，用享受的心情开始旅行吧。游记，正式开始。。。 一、抵达于我而言，很少有提前大半年做旅行计划这件事。印度，是第一次。出发那天是晚上2105，白天上班，我竟开始拉肚子。暗自嘲弄自己，不至于吧，印度还没到了！但庆幸的是，在印度的17天，我没有拉过一次肚子。从上海直飞德里，全程六小时。晚上抵达时，北京时间凌晨340，但印度时间却是 0110。是的，印度与中国有2.5个小时的时差。来到印度的这一刻，时间便又回流了2个半小时。刚走进机场大楼，就有一些同航班的同学驻足，对着这两幅俊男靓女的照片拍个不停。虽不好意思加入其中，但我还是在他们离去后，不能免俗地赶快按了一张。为什么不好意思？因为，这是厕所！先暂时抛开你想像中的脏乱差的印度吧，至少对于初来乍到的我们，呈现在我们眼前的英迪拉·甘地国际机场，干净、明亮、现代，甚至，透着一股禅的气息。在办理出关的地方，一面金色圆盘为底的装饰墙上，有11个手势各异的佛手印，唯一的相同之处是，掌心中都有一朵莲花。手印，是瑜伽修炼时手的姿式。瑜伽认为，手印象征着特殊的愿力，会带来身体与意念的力量。手印分为很多种，不同的手印，对身心有着不同的影响。比如，第一张照片中左数第二个，拇指与中指相连，是能量手印，意即将上天中的能量善加利用，是瑜伽中最常用的手印之一。而莲花，则是印度的国花，与佛教与印度教都有很深的渊源。蟋蟀头正在柜台，等候印度大叔审核证。拍这张照时，我还本能地在想：“这里能拍吗？”毕竟那时距离我们去朝鲜一个月，在朝鲜时，这也不让拍那也不让拍的阴影尚存。要知道，在平壤机场是不允许拍照的！但这里不是朝鲜，这是印度。印度虽贫穷，但却是民主国家。不要说拍机场，连拍军人都可以。 蟋蟀头去行李区域等候行李，为节约时间，我准备去找地方换点印度卢比。所有人的攻略都会提醒你，机场汇率不好，不要多换。不要多换，但也得换一点，不然出去的车费也付不了。距离行李区域不远，有个FoREIgn exchange，尽管有前辈功略提及，机场有四家Exchange Bureau，每家的汇率会稍有不同，但如此夜深，我懒得去做比较了，只想赶快离开机场，去旅馆好好睡一觉。于是径直去这家排队。正在排队，有几个中国人从另一个方向过来，去柜台上的电脑，查看了一下汇率，然后对同伴说：“这里的汇率比之前那家好。”一听这话，我心中暗笑，还真让我撞上了。换汇要护照，汇率USD1=Rs49.1。我换了100美元，拿到手只有Rs4870，不用说，少掉的Rs40就是手续费了。出发前就预订了旅馆，因为住在背包客云集的帕哈甘吉地区，担心像尼泊尔的泰美尔一样如迷宫般难寻，又是深更半夜，便同时预订了接机服务。等我们取了行李，换好钱出来，一个举着写有我名字的纸片的小伙子，已在大厅里等候。按前人的攻略，最好在机场办理一个airtel的手机卡，3G上网非常方便，而且打电话的费用也非常便宜。于是，和小伙子说明，我得先办一个airtel的手机卡。他往右边一指，“在那边。”右边？不对啊，攻略说出来后左走，就有airtel的柜台。“印度人说的话都不可信，”此时，对于初到印度的我来说，前人的攻略对我影响很深。我自顾自地向左边走去，那里的确有一个办理手机卡的柜台，但柜台上面赫然写着：A I R C E L。aircel 与 airtel，仅一个字母之差，怎么回事？我站在门口，仔细端详了半天。“airtel在那边！”这时，接站的小伙子又指着右边对我说。好吧，信他一次。跟着他往右边走，airtel的柜台果然在那儿。其实确切地说，如果眼神好，在出口处往右边一望，就可看到airtel的招牌。好吧，前人的攻略，有时还真的不可信，宁可信一次印度人。此时，正有三个中国人在airtel的柜台上办手机卡，柜台里的阿三正忙着用手机给其中一个男生拍照，另外两个女生等候中。我问阿三还要等多久？我急着走。阿三回我，很快就好。但看他不慌不忙的速度，我真觉得这“很快就好”根本就不可能。接站小伙子又说话了，“回旅馆去办吧，那里也有airtel，费用还比这里便宜。”这一次，我决定马上相信他。我和蟋蟀头跟在小伙子的后面，出了机场，向停车场走去。他没有帮我们拿行李，一个人自顾自地快步走在前面。“他怎么不帮我们拿包呢？”我问蟋蟀头，难道印度人的接站习惯就是，不帮客人拿包？英迪拉·甘地国际机场距离我们要去的帕哈甘吉Paharganj 地区，大约20公里左右。夜色中的德里，一片安静。同夜色一样安静的，还有这个开车的小伙子。不说印度人喜欢搭讪吗？他怎么这么安静？我心中暗自嘀咕。当然，在后面的十多天行程中，经历了印度人的各种搭讪后，我只能说，印度人的确非常喜欢说话，但也总有些人，不是那么喜欢说话。大约半小时后，出租车停在了我们预定的Hotel Hari Piorko。车停下来后，他转过头，向我要车费。车费，旅馆给我的邮件中，不是说明车费Rs.700在旅馆的前台付吗？我和他解释，旅馆的邮件中是这么说明，我也只能到前台去付款，请他和我们一起去前台拿钱。他又嘀嘀咕咕说了一大堆话，不过我一句也没听懂，大意应该还是希望我能直接把钱付给他吧。我问蟋蟀头的意见。他说，既然旅馆和你约定了，在前台付车费，就还是去前台付吧，否则，你现在付给他，旅馆向你要，怎么办？我觉得蟋蟀头说的有道理。于是，我们不管他继续啰嗦，下车拿了行李就走进了旅馆。一个白发白胡子白衫的老头坐在前台，正在给一位准备退房的老外办理手续。一本硕大的登记簿放在他的前面。后来发现，每个旅馆的登记簿都和这个一模一样，像是政府规定的专用旅馆登记簿。在等候老头给老外办退房手续时，我问小伙子，“旅馆付你多少钱接机？”他说，“Rs.550。” 啊，旅馆赚得挺多。看着他可怜巴巴的眼神，我真想马上把钱付给他。好不容易等老头办完退房手续，他向我要车费了，“Rs.800”。“什么？Rs.800？你邮件里不是写好Rs.700吗？“”那就Rs.750。“老头面不改色地回答。”NO。“我准备一点也不让步。不付给他Rs.550，我就很守信用了，他居然还向我要Rs.800 ？可惜我只打印了booking.com的预定单，没有打印我和他的邮件内容。于是，我把自己整理的攻略往他面前一放，指给他看我在他的酒店名称下注明的：”在前台付pick up Rs.700- extra.“ 其实这并非邮件，他居然扫了一眼后，二话不说，马上就认账了。从他信口开河到最后认账，老头脸上的表情始终没有丝毫改变。看来，他玩这一招是玩习惯了。能唬一个就唬一个。其实，在机场坐预付费的taxi，据说是Rs.400多。他报价后，我没还价，是因为想着深更半夜安排接机，挺辛苦的，也没差多少钱，也就算了。没想到他还玩这一招，真让我觉得后悔，真该砍下他的价才对。 check in后，一个小工帮我们提着行李，领我们到了楼上的房间。房间很大，也很干净。那个king size的大床，实际上是由两个单人床拼成。后来我发现，印度好多酒店的大床都是这样拼合而成。沙发、电视、空调，房间里倒是一应俱全。据说德里因为是首都的缘故，酒店的性价比都特别差。所以，在这样热门的地段，这样的房间，这样的房价的确不算贵。对了，当时的汇率 1印度卢比=0.1182人民币元。一般我和蟋蟀头想把价格换算成人民币以作比较时，喜欢直接除以10，比较简单易算。所以，这个房价，差不多就是在北京上海如家的价格。小工去帮我们买矿泉水和打火机。因为在印度，自来水是根本不能饮用的，除非你有印度人的肠胃。不一会儿，小工回来了，把东西递给我们后，和我算钱，“两瓶矿泉水Rs.33/瓶，打火机Rs.40，一共Rs.106。”“你不说打火机只要Rs.20吗？怎么变成Rs.40呢？”我问他。“Rs.20的打火机卖完了，这个Rs.40的打火机比较好看一点。”他对我解释道。好吧，就算他说的是真的吧。我可不想这么晚了，还为这点钱和他斤斤计较。我掏出Rs.150给他，“谢谢，不用找了。”小工告辞而去。准备洗澡，才发现淋浴根本就没有热水，只有冷水。想着我在邮件里和酒店确认深夜是否有热水淋浴，他在回信中可是斩钉截铁地说“Don't worry.” 看来，问了也是白问。印度人的话还真不能信！在机场时，我还因不相信接站小伙的话而自责，现在，我又再次确信，印度人的话的确不能相信。唉，洗个冷水脸睡吧。谁让这是印度呢？！ 二、捡了一对夫妇逛红堡早上起床，淋浴终于有热水了，而且水还挺好。酒店的退房时间是中午12点，等我们起床收拾完毕，已差不多12点了。因下午5点过就要坐火车去瓦拉纳西，所以我们准备先下楼和前台说一下寄存行李的事。从电梯出来，还没走两步，就被一男一女两个中国人叫住，“你们是中国人啊！”一到国外，能遇到中国人，的确会多分亲切。原来这对夫妇来自广东，到德里已经四天了。但这四天哪儿也没去，就在酒店睡觉。还从广东带了一只煲来，给自己煲汤降火。因酒店房间不干净，他们便换到这间酒店，说是比之前那家酒店干净好多。女孩叫sofoia，一个自来熟的女孩，她告诉我说，他们在印度会呆二十天，却没准备功略，问是否可以借我的攻略看看。我把手中的攻略递给她，她翻翻后说道，“这么详细啊，借我copy一下吧。”得知他们也没吃饭，便约他们到楼上餐厅一起吃饭，顺便让他们copy攻略。中午时分，餐厅里一个客人也没。估计住店的人，这个时间都到外面去玩了吧！我们四人找了阳台上一个桌子坐下，他们让服务员帮忙去复印攻略，然后我们点餐说话聊天。在得知我们下午准备去红堡后，这对夫妇打算跟我们同行。于是，在印度的第一天，我们就多了一对旅伴。而且在后面的行程中，又不断遇到新的旅伴。一位修理人员，似乎对坐在餐厅中的我们四人孰视无睹，自顾自地开始用电钻在墙上钻洞。尖利的电钻声吵得我们讲话也听不清。去向餐厅服务人员提出抗议，居然一点效果也没，我们只得被迫坐到阳台上去用餐。一推开那扇通往阳台的门，一股热浪夹杂着各种嘈杂声扑面而来。深夜抵达德里时的宁静印象，瞬间瓦解。鸽子扑愣愣地在阳台上飞来飞去，反倒弄得我们不好靠近，生怕惊到它们。实际上，我们真是过虑了。在印度，没有动物会害怕人。 对于初来乍到的我们，哪里会嫌街上吵闹，只会感到新奇无比，趴在阳台的栏杆上四处张望。街上人车拥挤。汽车、出租车、牛车、TUTU车、人力三轮车、摩托车，全部后扎堆在一起，行人却自在地穿行其中。“原来在印度被奉为神的牛也会拉车啊！”在尼泊尔看惯了到处闲着的牛，以致于我对拉车的牛也会大惊小怪。当然，在后来的行程中，我每天都会在街头看见各种闲逛的牛。但在杰伊瑟尔梅尔和一位司机的聊天中，也终于明白，印度的牛虽然罩着一层神圣的光环，但实际上却连温饱这最基本的生活需求也达不到。 远处突然传来一阵敲锣打鼓的声音，我们把脖子伸得老长，循声望去，一辆打扮花哨、车头插着旗子、车顶坐满人的汽车向我们这个方向慢慢驶来。是有什么庆祝活动吗？我们也跟着锣鼓声兴奋起来，可惜，车驶到靠近我们的一个三叉路口，一转弯，便在我们的视线中消失了。“快点出去玩吧！”此时的我们，早已按捺不住内心的兴奋，想要赶快融入那无比嘈杂混乱，却又让人激动万分的花花世界。简单吃完这顿早午餐，我俩便把行李搬到楼下，准备寄存。前台叫来一位小伙子，让我们跟着他去寄存。于是，我们跟着他，又重新返回到二楼。他掏出钥匙，打开一间房门，把我们的驮包往行李架上一放，问我们房号，然后把房号写在一个上，往驮包上一挂就OK啦。我问他，“你不给我什么凭证吗？那我凭什么来取包？”他说，“取包时，说你的房号就可以了。”这样也可以？我满肚子狐疑。我已经退房了，现在的房间很快就会住进新的客人吧，我也只需报个房号就可以取走行李？不会搞错吗？“No problem！”他回答我。印度人喜欢说No problem，而事实上，我们认为很多不可思议的地方，于他们而言，真的不是什么问。他们有他们的习惯，仅此而已。只是我们不能理解罢了。在后面的行程中，所有酒店寄存行李都用的是这种方式，告诉他你的房号就行，当然他们也一次都没弄错过。 下午1330时分的德里街头，阳光灼烈，热浪袭人。sofoia 用帽子和口罩把自己包裹得严严实实。而此时的蟋蟀头，在T恤外还套了一件摄影背心，一副摄影人的准行头。当然，这件摄影背心，他在印度也只穿过这一天。因为，印度的高温与烈日，把蟋蟀头的专业形象彻底打败。 酒店距离新德里火车站仅500米，因Main Bazar上TUTU车较少，不利于讲价，我们准备步行到火车站再找TUTU车。火车站门口TUTU车的确很多，但就像商量好了一样，众口一辞，去红堡的车费一律Rs.100/辆，根本没有讨价还价的余地。于是，我们要了两辆TUTU车，一前一后向红堡奔去。在印度坐TUTU车，实在是一个惊险刺激又好玩的游戏，尤其是在车辆拥挤的路上，又或者在狭窄的小巷。每个司机似乎都车技了得，左冲右突，灵巧无比。车与车之间经常擦肩而过，最近的距离似乎只有0.1，车速却丝毫不会减慢，也没有什么交通事故发生。司机总是悠然自得，只有我们这些乘客才会一惊一乍。因路上交通堵塞，大概花了近半小时，我们才抵达红堡。下车时，司机示意我们，我们得走前面的地道，才能穿行到路的右边。因为在印度，车辆是靠道路左侧行驶。地道阴暗，味道难闻。有乞讨的小孩坐在墙角，也有流浪的人躺成一排。眼之所及，只觉凄凉，不禁让我想起电影《贫民窟中的百万富翁》中的场景。快步走出地道，重新回到杂乱的街面，我不禁深深地呼了一口气。阳光灿烂的感觉，实在比阴暗阴沉要好太多。转个弯，沙岩筑成的红堡便出现在了我们面前。到了红堡，先迫不及待地来一张到此一游照。虽然红堡是德里的重要景点之一，但对于将要去拉贾斯坦邦的人，往往都会直接忽略掉这个城堡。因为，在历史悠久的拉贾斯坦，散布着众多迷人的宫殿与古堡，一路走去，直到你审美疲劳。如此一来，德里的红堡，相较之下，似乎就逊色许多，以致于大多数人都直接把它cancel掉。我之所以想去红堡，只因为它是由沙· 贾汉所建。这个因建造了泰姬陵而名垂千秋的国王，因酷爱艺术与建筑，在他统治期间，一些极好的莫卧尔艺术和建筑的精品被创造了出来。在泰姬陵动工后的第七年，1638年，沙· 贾汉开始修建红堡，历时十年完工。([]
中文字幕一本到加勒此
陈佳儒【写在开篇】有人说：“俄罗斯不是一个国家，而是一个世界。”首先，地大。人口只有 1.6 亿的俄罗斯，却拥有横跨欧亚大陆的1700 多万平方公里的国土面积，占了地球上 1/6 的陆地。其次，物博。俄罗斯有着丰富的让人眼馋的自然资源，足以支撑起一个世界。 我们眼中的俄罗斯会是什么样的呢？带着这样的疑问开始我们16天的旅程…在最美的秋季，从寒冷飘雪的伊尔库茨克，到阳光明媚的圣彼得堡，经历着突如其来的暴雪，感受着浓墨重彩的秋色。第一天：每个去过俄罗斯的人，看到的俄罗斯人都是不同的，有人说俄罗斯人很傲气，不屑于用英语回答你。有人说俄罗斯人很冷漠，不会为了你的迷茫而停下脚步。也有人说，俄罗斯人很豪爽，言语间就热络的共进伏特加。也许维京海盗和东斯拉夫农民的结合，注定了他们的双重性格。时而豪迈慷慨，时而自私吝啬。时而热情奔放，时而冷漠残酷。时而目光远大，时而固执短视。通过短短的旅途，去体会俄罗斯的深厚历史是远远不够的，可是我们却看到了美好的未来。留在记忆里的是年轻人的勃勃生机，勤学上进和热情好客，因为你们，让不懂俄语的我们，顺利愉悦的给旅行画上了完美的句号，期待下一次的相遇… 照例，先放行程，接着放毒！喀山圣母教堂的香烛环贝加尔湖火车奥列洪岛眺望贝加尔湖红场上的圣瓦西里和克林姆林宫谢尔盖耶夫镇的圣三一修道院苏兹达尔的洋葱们弗拉基米尔的圣母升天大教堂彼得大帝夏宫北京的夏日才刚刚离去，我们就带着厚厚的冬装，登上了西伯利亚航空的飞机。走出机舱，寒气扑面而来，这就是带着冬天味道的伊尔库茨克了。 伊尔库茨克，没听过吧？可是另外两个响亮的名字，西伯利亚、贝加尔湖，想必大家都不陌生。伊尔库茨克（Иркутск），是伊尔库茨克州的首府，是东西伯利亚第二大城市，市中心与居民区间以天然白桦林连接着。安加拉河贯穿市区，有大桥连通在贝加尔湖的东南端。作为东西伯利亚的首府，伊尔库茨克拥有不少19世纪的豪华建筑，曾被誉为“西伯利亚的巴黎”。到达：北京-伊尔库茨克，直飞的是西伯利亚航空S7和海南航空的飞机，班次并不是天天有，S7每周一、三、六，05：35~08：50，海南航空貌似也是一、三、六1000~1315。 软件：神奇的2GIS必须安装，提前下载几个城市的离线地图，五星推荐，相当于俄罗斯的高德地图，也许做的还要更好一些。需要安装俄文输入或者功课做好，提前把要去的地方俄文备注好。随时查询公交地铁，酒店购物，太方便。一路走来三个有网络的童鞋没有我一个离线地图的灵光~电话卡：网上大家都推荐小蜜蜂，不知道为什么这么迷信，就没有人反馈个真实体会吗？比MTS便宜，但是真心不好用，小火车信号差的一塌糊涂，奥列洪岛甚至基本没信号。还是推荐最大的品牌MTS，3G的包月流量250，比小蜜蜂贵50。另外两个品牌套餐外的流量都会比较贵，尤其是莫斯科或者圣彼得堡的卡在伊尔库茨克用，所以淘宝购卡的需要注意。 换汇：出发前网上有人说，最合适的办法是当地银联取现（用华夏卡，首笔没有手续费），其次是带美金去换汇，最不合适的是国内直接换卢布。我的亲身体会，应该是当地银联取现和出发前国内换汇差不多，都比较合适。旅行16天，两个人4万卢布现金加上取现两次15000卢布，其余住宿，购物刷卡。最后几天卢布增值，刷卡购物的比较不合适。 语言：俄罗斯英文普及的非常不好，伊尔库茨克就会更差一些，问路，坐公交，买车票最好提前准备好俄语，show给大妈大叔看，简单粗暴，沟通无障碍。酒店前台是接触的人群里英文最好的，有问除了Info!就找漂亮帅气的前台~伊尔库茨克(Иркутск)，始建于1700年，已经拥有315年的城市发展史，是西伯利亚唯一的大工业城市，也是交通和商贸的枢纽。伊尔库茨克有约1300处历史建筑文明遗产，其中有东正教堂（喀山教堂）、波兰人大教堂、政府大楼、二战胜利纪念广场、历史博物馆、十二月党人文化公园等 ......伊尔库茨克的市区范围并不大，溜达着去Tourist Information Center拿地图，i里的姑娘英文也很好，和城市旅游资讯以及周边交通有关系的问，尽管丢过去吧。心满意足的拿着绿线GREEN LINE地图，开始了我们匆匆半日的城市随行。 ，有30个市区主要景点的英文介绍，非常方便徒步游览。穿过著名的卡尔马克思大街，一路向北，来到了安加拉河畔。远远望去，最为醒目的是矗立的黄白相间的凯旋门，叫做Moscow Gate。凯旋门前停了长长一排的婚车，倒是没咱国内结婚气派。新郎新娘，还有不可思议的诸多伴郎伴娘，欢声笑语不断。零度的气温也抵挡不了新人们的喜悦，穿着婚纱的新娘面对镜头，high的不行。晏宾说，一路碰到的新娘子即使上了妆也没有街上匆忙走过的姑娘们漂亮，也许都是到了一定年纪，即将长腿辣妹变身大妈的时候，才会考虑找个长期饭票？不过这只是一句玩笑话，无论是在伊尔库茨克这样的小城市，还是莫斯科圣彼得堡那样的大城市，路上偶遇的年轻年长的女性，穿着打扮，发行配饰，无不透着精致和品位，好像随时准备走上时尚杂志一般。安加拉河畔的围栏上挂满了漂亮的同心锁，大小颜色各异，周边也没看到售卖亭，难道这里有这样的传统？出门还得备锁头[/惊讶] 河边望去，高耸的烟囱，进进出出的船只，忙碌工作的吊车，无不显示着工业城市的繁忙。冬季河畔漫步，寒风扑面，带来丝丝潮气，有孩童包裹的如童话里的公主，粉嫩嫩的，推着同样粉嫩的小推车和玩具公主，蹒跚学步，小脸呈现着健康的苹果红。沿着无人的河滨大道一路走到了基洛夫广场，广场上教堂林立，救世主大教堂，主显节大教堂，波兰人大教堂。首先看到的是这座堆积木一般的主显节大教堂（Собор Богоявления）。大教堂始建于1693年，是伊尔库茨克第二古老的石头建筑，至今保存的很好。漂亮的教堂白色亮洁，各层由长方形、圆柱形、三角锥形组合在一起，旁边还有两的金色的洋葱头形状的穹顶衬托着，非常耀眼，也有人称它为“博戈亚福列涅大教堂”。东正教教堂男士不允许带帽，女士入内可以带帽或者包头巾。建议还是随身携带一条围巾，既能保暖，又能裹头，戴着帽子总觉得对上帝不太尊重。一般情况教堂内不允许拍照，需要拍照提前询问，有的教堂只是唱诗和讲经的地方不让拍照。马路对面是救世主大教堂SpasskayaTserkov，历史超过300年。教堂外围有一圈小花圃，还有纪念碑，老爷爷带着孙子挑选着鲜花献给长眠的英雄们。推开厚重的有着岁月痕迹的木头门，拾级而上，二楼是教堂主体，教堂内部不大，顶部和墙壁上的彩色绘画，讲诉着一个又一个圣经故事，指引着教众前行的方向。([]

蔡军羽去年春节，为了躲避国内天气的寒冷，和亲友间拜访往来的嘈杂，时隔7年我再次陪着家人来到了柬埔寨暹粒过年。 地处东南亚，柬埔寨没有四季，只有旱季和雨季，常年气温都在20多度，气候怡人。 在这边住了7天，这次我们没有选择跟随旅行团，而是全程自助，体验一次自由，随意，悠闲的旅游。 不得不承认，在这个时段，暹粒的游客非常多，酒店提前1个月在BOOKING上订的，竟然综合性价比高的店几乎已经没有位置了。最后我们选择了前后分别在两个不同的酒店入住。前4天在距离市区以南5公里的地方的一家，距离ROLUOS GROUP 比较近; 后2天在市区里的一条小街道, 步行至老城区南部的酒吧街只需5分钟。交通也很简单，除了机场来回选择做出租车，其他一切都乘坐当地的嘟嘟车，TUK TUK. 嘟嘟车说白了就是个搭了个棚子三轮摩托，天津人叫“狗骑兔子”。 餐饮很随意，饿了就吃，渴了就喝，不饿不渴就逛。总之一切的安排都是轻松的，没有随团旅游起早拉黑的行程，没有限时看景点的紧迫，没有10人一桌团餐的“抢夺”，更没有强迫购物的烦恼。唯一需要花心思，动脑子的事就是消费时的砍价，但这恰恰也是一种乐趣。下了飞机后，我们直接到机场门口的计程车订车柜台买票，这里需要提前交费，一般到市里需要7美金，但是因为我们的酒店离市区又远了5公里，所以沟通后以10美金成交。吴哥窟全世界闻名，所以来暹粒的游客世界各地都有。当地人几乎都能说简单的英文，对于本人来说，沟通就没有障碍了。出租车是丰田的一款，司机在路上一直在介绍吴哥窟的辉煌。当得知我们是第二次来的时候就开始推销自己了，跟我们说包一天车，随便玩30美金，我们笑而不语，一直没有答应他，当然目的是看他的底限，不出所料，最后到达酒店后他开出了23美金，我们拿了他的电话号码，跟他说晚上打给他确认。办理完入住手续，放完行李后我们去马路对面的一家水果摊看看。买了一袋芒果和一袋山竹，回去后就当作我们的晚餐，在酒店前台我拿了一份简单的景点游览地图，一边吃水果一边计划着这几天的景点行程路线。首先说明吴哥窟景点的分布和联合票的选择：吴哥窟大致分为3个景区： ANGKOR WAT(吴哥窟），ROLUOS GROUP(罗洛寺）和BANTEAY SREI(女皇宫）。联合套票需要在吴哥窟大门的购票处购买，在其他景点是没有购票处的，票价分为20，40和60美金有效期分别是1天，3天和7天。 票上有个人头像相片和有效期，想投机几乎是不可能的。（我想也不会有人这样做的）消费：基本使用美金，不过在当地人经常光顾的水果摊，餐厅，和便利店用柬埔寨货币也很方便。我们来这里就是度假的，并没有购买当地的电话SIM卡。（所以抱歉，有关SIM卡的问我一无所知）下面是我制定的3天个人游览路线计划，最后经过实践，确实是过关的，完整的，简洁的，大家可以借鉴。第一天路线：PREAH KHAN - NEAK PEAN - TA SOM - EASTERN MEBON - PRE RUB - TA PROHM - BANSEAY KDEI - SRAH SRANG - ANGKOR ERA HOTEL 圣剑寺 - 涅槃寺 - 塔逊寺 - 东湄本寺 - 比粒寺 - 塔布隆寺 - 班黛克蒂寺 - 皇家浴池 - 吴哥时代酒店 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34625775.html第二天路线：BANTEAY SREI - TA KEO - ANGKOR THOM - BAYON - ANGKOR ERA HOTEL 女皇宫 - 茶胶寺 - 吴哥城 - 巴戎寺 - 吴哥时代酒店 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34626194.html第三天路线：ROULOUS GROUP - ANGKOR WAT - ANGKOR ERA HOTEL 罗洛寺群 - 吴哥窟 - 吴哥时代酒店 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34626585.html最后一天： TONLE SAP 洞里萨湖 https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34626884.html这个路线3天就能看遍所有联票里包括的各个景点，唯一遗憾的是没有骑大象爬巴肯山，不过8年前已经去过了，也无所谓了。接下来的3天我们本打算抽一天包车去距离暹粒东面40公里远的BENG MEALEA，（崩密列庙）和东北面40公里远PHNOM KOULEN（荔枝山），但是并没有实施，而是在市里转了转，休息一下，顺便去了趟 TONLE SAP,洞里萨湖（不推荐）。TU TU车砍价记：来到暹粒的第二天，我们正式开始了吴哥之旅，首先当然是解决交通问。因为昨天出租车司机一天包车开价是23美金，我们心里大致也有了底。走出酒店大门就打算找出租车商议价钱，结果没想到首先来找我们推销的一个TU TU 车司机。这个酒店很多游客都是随旅行团来的，交通几乎是大巴，所以这个常驻酒店的TU TU 车司机一直没有揽到活，看到我们3个单客出来后，那叫一个热情啊！说自己的车安全，干净，当然也没有忘记想要抬高租金黑我们。开价包车一天25美金，我去！那叫狮子大开口啊！我跟他说我们已经有出租车司机了，一天才23美金，立刻改口落价。最后跟他的协议价是包三天，去全部景点，加第4天早晨驼行李去市里第二个酒店（需来回两趟）一共是50美金，成交！这个TUK TUK 司机叫“南”， 17岁，看来入行也没多久，还没有其他老司机的精明和狡诈，为人也很谦和，时刻都带着微笑，驾驶时也很认真。虽然英文水品略差，但是沟通基本没有问。游览的入口在寺庙的北边，我们沿着红土地慢慢往前走，首先映入眼帘的是道路两旁的遮天大树，不难想象为什么吴哥窟整个文明，消失在丛林里，经过将近800年直到上个世纪才被发现。路边上是几十尊（据说有72尊）不完整的雕像，雕刻的是鹰神GARUDA“揭路荼”,握着蛇神NAGA “娜迦”。圣剑寺 - 此页涅槃寺 - https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34625839.html塔逊寺 - https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34625856.html东湄本寺 - https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34625898.html比粒寺 - https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34625918.html塔布隆寺 - https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34625925.html 重点！！班黛克蒂寺 - https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34626165.html皇家浴池 - https//bbs.8264.com/forum-redirect-goto-findpost-ptid-1852402-pid-34626190.html差不多走了50米，我们来到了寺庙大门。一座15米宽的石桥架在了护城河上，石桥两端也有雕像，貌似是天神 DEVA 拖着蛇神，但大多数都缺少了头部。可以清晰的看出河道旁的丛林非常的茂密。 桥上的护栏也设计的非常新颖：DEVAS 天神抱着娜迦的身躯 ：充分的体现出当时佛教和印度教的影响力。为了纪念在12世纪末，当时的吴哥王朝抵御了古越南的侵略，国王在此建造的圣剑寺。寺庙主供Avalokiteśvara 也就是观世音菩萨，（以国王的父亲的形式出现）。目前这座寺庙还有很大部分没有恢复完工，因为很多古树已经在一部分建筑上生根，所以几乎已无法实施修建工作。为什么颜色还会变的这么有层次呢？很多位置的维护和修复还没有做到位！这座寺庙主供观音，不知这座像是不是菩萨.圆塔顶部与亮光处的对接很有创意。([]

李汉霖2013年春节，准备去越南柬埔寨看看。 原计划是从南宁陆路进越南，由北往南穿越越南到柬埔寨吴哥窟后回国。 做好计划开始买飞机票时发现，从柬埔寨暹粒回国的机票比较贵，从国内去胡志明的机票倒是比较便宜。 这次去柬埔寨主要就是去看那世界七大奇迹的吴哥窟，去寻找高棉的微笑，这是不能略去的。 于是就有了直飞胡志明市，由胡志明市去柬埔寨暹粒，再回到胡志明市，再一路北下，经过美奈，大叻，牙庄，惠安，顺化，河内，下龙湾回国的路线。 虽然去柬埔寨走了个回头路，但从节约自己并不充分的资金上来看，还是个不错的选择。 废话不多说，直接看图说话，虽然照片质量不好，但以量取胜吧。 一千多张照片记录了全程，并附有路线攻略。 春节前，赶上越南证涨价，我们是两次入境越南，需要一月两次入境，两本证花了1140元。 福州飞上海再飞胡志明市两人机票包括税费2850元。 因为我们的飞机是凌晨到达胡志明市，在国内预定了宾馆，2晚总计30刀，加接机14刀。 带了1300刀，剩余290刀。两个人总花费约10566元。 飞机正点到达胡志明市已经是凌晨1点了。 出关很顺利。 走出机场就看到有人举着我们名字的大牌子。 如果不是这么晚到达，根本不需要订酒店和接机，机场有大巴去市内。 在BOOKING订的房间总是不能让人满意，（但又能去哪里订纳？）， 只有一个优点是提供早餐。 住在范五老街的小胡同里，走出胡同口就看见The SinhTourist的招牌。这个小帅哥是店里唯一会汉语的人。要不然，真不知道只会几个英语单词的半大老人怎么搞定买很多班次的汽车票。在The SinhTourist买了明天由胡志明市去柬埔寨暹粒的车票。本想买好回来时由胡志明市去河内的OPENBUS全程票。由于赶上了越南的春运。虽然现在是提前了一星期买票，但只有胡志明--美奈--大叻这一段路程有车票。而且只剩余4张票，赶紧掏钱把这一段的票先买了。其实在范五老街有很多家公司经营OPENBUS。我们从The SinhTourist出来，走了不到50米，看到一家公司卖OPENBUS票。可是售票员不会汉语，我们又不懂英语。正在对牛弹琴时，一位新加坡人也来买票，帮助我们买好了后半程的车票，而且还是全程卧铺车票。显然，这段路程的车票已经涨价。现在想想，The SinhTourist不是没有票，他是在等涨价再卖。涨点钱能买到票就好。我们后来遇到很多人买不到车票，从而打乱了整个旅游计划。我们避开了国内的春运，来到越南却赶上了越南的春运。看来，春节期间也要避开越南旅游了。这家公司的马路对面有换汇的，汇率比市中心区的金店低点。换了点越南盾去吃午饭，就在大街边上的小店。价格一点也不比国内便宜，越南人做生意是一致对外，内外有别。范五老街志性建筑。旅店有简易地图。范五老街距胡志明市的景点并不是很远，我们也想走路沿线看看。来前就听说越南的水果鲜榨汁很好喝，路边看到一家，结果是大失所望。晚上回来在小胡同的另一出口处，有一家现做现卖，有很多人坐在小板凳上等待，那个才是好喝。街边小公园街景在繁华的大街中央广场，有一尊骑马铜像，是越南的民族英雄陈元汉。他昭示世人，越南人民是不会忘记历史的。说到越南的历史，是离不开中国的。秦朝时，秦始皇派军队征服了越南北部，中国的版图扩大到越南。公元10世纪，五代十国时，交趾叛乱。爱州（今越南清化）牙将吴权在海门镇打败汉军，次年称王。968年越南丁朝建立，安南最终建立了国家，但一千多年来一直作为中国的属国或藩属国。19世纪后期，法国对越南进行殖民侵略，清朝派兵抵抗，冯子材和刘永福、黑旗军等参战。1885年，清政府与法国订《中法新约》，被迫承认越南独立。从此，越南彻底从中国版图独立，并沦为法国殖民地。1945年第二次世界大战结束前后，胡志明在越南北方的河内宣布独立。而南方还处在受法国殖民保护的保大皇帝管辖之下。1954年7月21，署《日内瓦协议》。《日内瓦协议》规定，越南以北纬17度为界，南北分治，北方由胡志明领导，南方由保大皇帝统治。1955年7月17日，美国撕毁了《日内瓦协议》，取代法国在越南南方的地位，设定了所谓的越南共和国。吴庭艳发动政变，废黜保大皇帝，自己当了总统，建立南越南共和国，首都为西贡。自此，越南南方沦为美国新殖民主义的殖民地。1961年，越南战争爆发，美国与韩国、菲律宾、泰国、澳大利亚、新西兰等国组成联军，介入了这场战争。中国出动军方和大量民力、免费物质，支持越南，援越抗美。1973年1月27日《巴黎协定》订，美国承认越南民主共和国在国际上的法律地位，退出越南战争。同年3月从越南南方撤出全部军队及其同盟者军队和军事人员。1975年5月，胡志明领导的越盟（即后来的越南劳动党）击败了吴庭艳政府。1976年7月，越南南北实现统一，定国名为越南社会主义共和国，首都为河内。为了纪念胡志明的伟业，将前南方首府西贡改名为胡志明市。陈元汉铜像前方是滨城市场，是胡志明市最大的市场。里面各类生活旅游纪念用品齐全。还有各类越南小吃。越南曾经沦为法殖民地，法式烙印无处不在，从早点的法棍到街边的咖啡店让人以为身处欧洲某小镇。中国元素也无处不在，从门面上的汉字到理发小作坊。刮胡子捏背与国内一样舒坦。无论大街小巷，摩托都是绝对的主力。原来以为越南是个穷国。现在已经颠覆了以前的认识。越南国家是不富，但人民却不穷。不像天国，国家富人民穷。到总统府已经快4点了，拍了张照片没进去。门前有妹妹执勤，很乐意与我合影。合影后还到没有路灯的马路上将往来车辆叫停，让我们轻松过马路。胡志明市路边有很多这样大的公园，供市民在公园里休闲歇息。从总统府走到红教堂只有几分钟的路程。圣母大教堂是法国人于1883年建成，据说建造教堂的红砖全部是从法国运来，是仿照巴黎圣母院钟楼的设计建造的。教堂不收门票，但只对游客开放前面一小部分。站在教堂的入口处，看那高大的穹顶和花窗，配上庄严肃穆的神像，显得庄重又有气势。从教堂前方看，两座40米高的白色钟塔直冲云霄。门前伫立着一座重达4吨的圣母玛丽亚雕像，红色基座白色雕像与身后的红教堂相配的极为融洽。红教堂的旁边是百年邮政局。从外表看是一幢普通的欧式建筑。但里面穹顶设计源自伦敦水晶宫的大玻璃屋顶。漂亮的地砖，红色电话亭，手绘的西贡地图和墙上巨幅胡志明画像勾勒出一幅豪华又安详的画面。我也不能免俗，在这豪华又古老的邮局里寄出一张写给自己的明信片。走出邮局，四周景色。红教堂正对着的路是胡志明市最繁华的一条路。路口街头的宣传画，好像又回到40年前的中国。中国统治了越南上千年，越南的很多民俗与中国一样。传统节日主要有春节、清明、端午、中秋、重阳等。现在春节快到了，路上张灯结彩，很有过年的气氛。也不乏高档商场，大牌云集。进百盛商场看看，世界各地的大牌都能在这里看到。二楼还有吃饭的地方。PHO24米粉连锁店在越南很有名气，但我不喜欢吃米粉，没尝试。走过百盛就是歌剧院，歌剧院的建筑风格是最具法属时期的建筑。([]

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([]
