草草丫干干干

一段 快乐的驴行不至于在日后的岁月中变得支离破碎，为了与更多走过和未走过这条线的LZ分享旅途中的惊艳震撼，快乐痛苦，亲情友谊。。。游记因此变得十分必要。 我喜欢陌生的感觉，陌生能产生好奇，好奇有无限魔力，这个魔力吸引我一次次离家出走。。。 检索： 第一页 前言，路上点滴  第四页  丽江篇  第十页 队伍于泸沽湖畔集结完毕  第十七 穿越正式开始 三十四 风景渐入佳境  六十四 约会雪山  七十四 穿越结束  七十六 全剧终 群里很少有人说话，除了偶尔能碰到领队，其他要去的几个人一个比一个潜的深、隐的绝，连个沟通的机会都不给，我想他们是一群大隐者 ~！ 曾被今朝有酒醉的帖子毒倒，夏天又错过两个走这条线的穿越队伍，这次无论什么情况我是一定要去的，10月21日下午我登上了开往成都的列车，开始了一场非同寻常的驴行~~ 金秋泸沽湖-亚丁穿越路线图：家乡--成都--攀枝花--丽江--泸沽湖--亚丁--稻城--理塘--新都桥--康定--泸定--雅安--成都--家乡 黄金周已过，这个季节出门车上的旅客不多，还没到西安我便有了自己的“卧铺”，一个人可以坐仨位。天空渐渐变得昏暗，半梦半醒间被刚上车的几个人吵醒，两男两女中年人，有说有笑风趣幽默，他们坐在我对面和过道另侧的座位上。不知什么时候我便成了他们中的一员，于是我的“卧铺”和对面的三人位便成了那夜我们轮换睡觉的地方，困了的睡觉，醒着的聊天，不觉孤单，不觉无聊。。。 其中的两位姐姐，容颜虽不年轻，笑容却很单纯 清晨，列车驶过广元，几年前曾和朋友自驾九寨沟，第一次踏上四川的土地，也是个清晨路过广元，那是个小雨迷离的清晨，秦岭南麓雨量充沛，云雾飘渺于山中，空气中透着潮湿，我很喜欢那种湿润的感觉。透过车窗寻找旧日足迹，山还是那样的山，而天空却升起一轮骄阳~~ 过了江油，过了绵阳，离成都越来越近了，不知哪个站上来一位衣着颇显些职业的四川mm坐在我们旁边的位置，大姐和她聊起了化妆品，化妆品牌，我如听天书，以为她是化妆品推销员，起码是做和化妆品有关的职业。很快到了终点站成都，我背上大包跨上小包准备下车，MM走在我身后，踏上月台的那一刻听到身后有异样的声响，回头看到她的行李箱卡在车门处，于是我们有了结识的理由。她叫芮莹，但不姓芮，美术专业的，去西宁导师的工作室，她的外表，着装，没一点艺术生的叛逆，却恰恰相悖。在我的印象中搞艺术的男的不是光头就是长发，衣着另类，不食人间烟火，从外形上就要搞得与众不同，彰显他们独具一格的个性，女的也一略同 我们在站外广场拍了照片，留了QQ相互道别，她买票去西宁，我去南站买票去攀枝花~~~芮莹 ME 超越，现居河南义马，祖国秀美的山川让我魂牵梦绕，于是喜欢背上行囊找寻陌生中的童话世界~~。在之后的8天穿越中，在8天的烈日暴晒下，用领队一句话形容我：摘了帽子，脱了冲锋衣，和当地原住民已无区分坐上公交穿城而过，成都给我的感觉很干净，高楼鳞次栉比，很繁华的大都市 曾经，多少人青涩的梦留在那片校园中，彼此不分贵贱，没有功利每每回首往事，可能独属那段时光最能勾人心神，不堪回首也好，刻骨铭心也罢~~。。如今，我已老去。。。脚印留下，故事陪伴一生 网上查的有成都南到攀枝花的始发车，买票时售票小姐告诉我说现在没有，那是节假日临时加开的，郁闷！！可能我在网上查询的方法有问，真晕，只好买了江油开往攀枝花的车票，离开车还有两三个小时，出来在站外路边店随便吃点东西顺便把手机充下电，到丽江还有两天的时间，如果手机要是没电了我岂不成了瞎子聋子，现代的通讯工具实在是太重要了上了车，还好，没我想像的糟糕，人同样不是很多，很顺利找个位置坐下来，想想黄山归来那次，在火车上可把我们几头驴整惨了，几个人举着大包在人满为患的车厢中穿越，那情景很雷人！和我坐一起的是位在攀枝花长大的大哥，人很热情，列车上人与人之间交流变得比较容易，可能是因为我们彼此陌生，没谁去关注你的过去、现在和未来。。。。夕阳渐渐消失在地平线，又一个暮色来临，大哥扒在桌上似乎已经睡去，我却感叹车轮下这条沉重的铁路。上世纪六七十年代，建国初年，国力薄弱，技术落后，为了国防、经济等建设需要，三线人豪情万丈念着毛主席语录，从祖国的四面八方来到这大西南的崇山峻岭，在大山深处，修铁路建工厂，他们用人海战术，用青春岁月，用血与汗铸造了一条条铁路，一座座工厂，用惊天地泣鬼神来形容他们的精神与壮举不觉丝毫夸张 列车驶进乐山车站，下车的人很多，过道对面只剩一个小姑娘了，于是我又一次拥有了“卧铺”的机会。小姑娘网名：洛若兮，据她讲取自《洛神赋》里的字，名字很别致很高古，听她说话却相当单纯，每说一句话最后都要抿嘴笑一下，时而四川话，时而四川普通话，很搞笑，单纯可爱属于她这个季节。 当聊起她的家庭，爸爸妈妈，听她的身世却有些凄楚，最疼爱她的奶奶也已离他而去，似乎这个世界上再没有更关心她的人了，祝愿她能生活的很好 洛若兮 天蒙蒙亮，攀枝花到了。大哥、我、洛若兮我们一同下了火车，车站外就有发丽江的大巴，我问了票价，要80元人民币，和我在网上查的不一致，我查的是客运中心去丽江的大巴有45元的，于是决定和大哥他俩一起坐公交去客运中心，中途洛若兮告别下了车，大哥一直把我送到到客运中心，他原本不在这下车，再此感谢了 。到售票厅买票，结果也是80，网络再次欺骗了我开往丽江的大巴一直就我们几个乘客，像专车，我得以在后面拿着相机左拍拍右拍拍攀枝花四季气候温和，比我想象中的重工业城市清洁，这座钢城沿江而建，在狭长的山谷中绵延数公里 一桥飞架南北，一江穿桥而过，她们可曾知道还有一颗满怀激情的心在她们身边悄悄经过中午吃饭，拍下我们乘坐的大巴 忽然发现，屋檐下一怒放的生命在斑驳的光影中傲然倔强、娇艳妩媚，于是拍下了行程中第一张还算满意的照片 车子继续前行，建筑和景观渐渐有了变化，山上的村落有点像彝族村寨，星星点点原以为只有在荒漠中成片生长的仙人掌在这个地方却爬满山头山上这样的树木也很特别 还有那记忆深刻，我却没拍下来的芭蕉叶，凤尾竹。记得小时候同学之间流行互相赠送日记本，它的最大特点是中间有美术或摄影插图，有祖国的名胜古迹，如：北京的长城，上海的外滩，南京的长江大桥，苏州的园林，安徽的黄山。。。也有少数民族的风情，如，蒙古的赛马，天山的羊群，藏族的舞蹈，傣族的泼水节。。。西南少数民族的歌舞、绘画作品多以凤尾竹，芭蕉叶做背景，那些长在内心的童年记忆如痴如梦，神秘而遥不可及，如今竟不经意间呈现在面前，而我却忘记了按下快门逆光下金沙江宛如一条巨龙奔腾在峡谷之间 彝族村舍散落在牧歌般的田园中，安详，静谧，勤劳，自足 山如画卷，气势恢宏，壮美之至溢于言表，自然的杰作往往给人意想不到的震撼 峰回路转，给我的第一感觉就是陶渊明笔下的桃花源惊现于眼前：“复行数十步，豁然开朗。土地平旷，屋舍俨然，有良口美池桑竹之属。阡陌交通，鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作，男女衣着，悉如外人。黄发垂髫并恰然自乐。 ”“先世避秦时乱，率妻子邑人来此绝境，不复出焉，遂与外人间。问今是何世，乃不知有汉，无论魏晋。”

达达兔第九超神理论

一路向西----我的四姑娘东方圣山中国名山蜀山之后中国的阿尔卑斯最美穿越线路—长坪沟毕棚沟十大登山名山之一 户外登山者的天堂顺顺一路向西之四姑娘 写在出行前我是一个没有梦想的人，至少梦想对我来说不是经常出现的东西~于是，每每在生活中显现出来的就是随意与散漫。这或许源于生活状态，或许源于心底的想法，总之，很少会去执着于什么理想之类的东西。。。。。。得到了，不会欣喜若狂，失去了也不会伤心失望，我信缘份，也信天意~当我知道四姑娘山的时候，我还仅限于为别人做出行计划的阶段，查资料，看游记，与当地的协作沟通这都是工作的一部分，然后看着队员出发，看着他们回来的兴奋，我倒没觉得这个地方是我一定要去的，或是那样的高度根本就不是我所想岂及的~一切都在平淡平常中渡过。。。。。但是，也许是冥冥注定，从此后倒多留意了四姑娘山的游记。或许梦想就是这样一点点的生根的，以至于到最后发了芽，牢牢的长在心里，而自己倒不觉得。直到有一天，朋友说，过年是去越南好呢，还是柬甫寨好？我随口说了句，四姑娘山好。十分钟后，朋友问我，你说的靠谱不？当时我神经搭错了吧，只是很肯定的说：“靠”！！！于是，四姑娘山之行，成行！！！由于事前已经做过一次计划，很多功课已经不需要再做，高山协作自然而然的选择的是四姑娘山雪山之巅高山协作队扎西的队伍。因为曾经合作过，对他充满了信任，在平时的沟通中，能感觉到这个是直率的藏族小伙子，而我这样的个性也适合与这样耿直的人打交道。那么此次出行，有了好的旅伴，又有了放心的协作，剩下的，就是等待出行的日子了。  为四姑娘山雪山之巅高山协作队扎西做一个专版的广告协作领队：扎西格绒 （汉名：余强）电话：13778474311 QQ：1339978326很正式的为扎西做一个首版广告，源于他的真诚，藏族人的耿直绝对周到又细致登山服务。1：1的协作配比，强大的登山安全保证！！！   附上全队人的照片，特此向扎西协作队表示敬意。谢谢协作们的辛苦付出。是你们成就了我们的雪山之梦另附一张全体人各种不在状态的合影前图片，欢乐的不得了我就没想明白，大家这是干嘛呢~  没有旅行的生活只能称为生存，人的一生要有两次冲动，一次是为奋不顾身的爱情，一次是为说走就走的旅  行---《上得天堂，下得地狱》我没有为爱情而奋不顾身过，但是这次出行，却是我一生唯一的一次说走就走~~~只是为了你，我的四姑娘！带上我心爱的小驴~~出发机场大巴 机场里的我，思维混乱，近他情怯，当思念即将成真的时候，有种不敢相信的小混乱~期盼又紧张深刻的体会到，等待也是一种幸福！煎熬的幸福！ 在机场里转来转去，熬到登机时间，熬到起飞时间，熬到落地时间。。。。。终于我能抵达离你最近的城市：成都,我来了！！！ 锦里，白天的繁华我没有体会到，夜晚，你给我的另一个动人的姿态，是不是让我用另一种心情去爱上你~擦肩而过的夜晚，或许我们还有再相见的一天。 入住扎西给预订好的梦之旅青年旅舍，我与朋友们笑言，咱们还算是青年么？驴哥爽朗的笑道，咱算正当年。哈哈，于是安心入住。手机里传来了短信提示音，司机说早七点会在青旅接我们，于是这一夜注定了就是时常看表的状态，祈盼着时间你快点快点快点过~成都的天亮来的好晚，七点钟竟然天光未亮，让我多少有了点小时差~要知道，这时候哈尔滨已经天光大亮了。 现在想来，我从哈尔滨出发到成都，再从成都出发到日隆，这一路的心都在期盼，紧张和向往之中煎熬着的。绕过这些弯弯的山路，体验了4400米的高山反应，脚底无跟头部剧痛，眼前模糊，喘气不匀。。。这些，就是四姑娘给我带来的一个小见面礼吧？那么，接下来的几天我将怎么渡过？心里充满了忐忑，高反这关必须挺过，如何挺，我不知道。但是我知道，我是有带着一颗并不一定冲顶的心来的，或许，我只是为了看一眼梦中的四姑娘，只是为了被你的怀抱包容。 你瞅啥呢？ 楼上的小驴原来在瞅这位呢~~~~ 路途中的美食也不能错过，但是东北人到了四川真的感觉是那么的不习惯，半路吃饭的饭店屋子里好冷，喝了多少热水也不解决问，好在车上人挤人的比较暖和~我们的午餐，六个人，五菜一汤，点多了。不过卧龙四友饭店的腊排骨确实是味道极佳，不妨一尝。 一路上越走越晕，以至于沿途的美景都没有仔细的欣赏，相机也懒得拿出来， 当然也是因为我的拍摄位置不是很佳。。。当时看到前排的队友们一路狠拍，我就马上心里有极大的安慰，回去就跟你们要就好了~但是现在写起贴子来就感觉到比较不顺手了~自己有，比谁有都强~哈哈 越近日隆心里越怯，到了猫鼻梁，下车，第一眼看到四姑娘一下就惊呆了，无数次贴子里看到这个位置，这个样子的四 姑娘山，当真实呈现在眼前的时候，那种惊心动魄是绝对真实 的。面对圣山的朝拜之心，让我不禁想就这样注视下去。在心里，一遍一遍的祈祷，一遍一遍的祝福~~~   临行前写了个日志，大意就是越走近你越觉得有些怯意     现在越来越贴近你的时候，突然就有了一种轻松，反正我来了，能咋样呢？ 事先  应对高反做足了功课，红景天，深蹲（小声说下，这个不大认真的哦,结果登山的 时候知道了这是吃了大亏喽，如果好好练习深蹲，我上山就肯定不会那么吃力了） 日 隆，我们来了~扎西，你这时候是不是也满紧张的？怕我们来了把你家扫荡光，尤其是那在我们想象中满院子飞奔的山鸡野味啥的~实话说，我真心也是这么想的，你发贴子馋了我们那么久的土鸡汤，那么多的好吃的，终于，向我们扑面而来~~~ 梦想中最重要的一环是在扎西家的天台上晒太阳，发呆，看山，看水~那么大年初二的下午就是我们美梦成真的一刻。各种太阳晒的懒懒散散的，两个可爱的孩子陪我们嬉笑玩耍~~~小吃，红景天，阳光，童趣，手工作业，构成了我们这个下午整个美好的画面。。。。。。  大年初二，扎西用藏民特有的方式迎接了我们，不能喝美酒用红景天，洁白的哈达每一人条，不偏不向，整洁舒适的房间，干净的被褥，当我晚上躺在里面时，真的可以闻到阳光的味道，这里离阳光是更近一些的吧！ 双桥沟记----  给自己多安排了一天适应高海拔，这个环节在后来的爬山中显现出了极其重要的作用。同时，也让我们在这一天里，收获了双桥沟的美景。也晒足了日隆的太阳。 各种美女抓拍，各种帅哥配合，各种欢乐的大笑。。。。。。还笑言，看没有高反吧， 没啥事吧。不错，我们的适应能力都还相当不错。于是，对第二天上大本营充满了信心小插曲是，我们来的时候是扎西给安排的面包车，回去的时候自然也是接我们，可是全体五人，没有一个人能正确认出司机，，，，这是不是也是高反的副作用？  逛累了自然就想到了吃，短信寻问扎西，镇上啥好吃？很快回复简短的四个字：绿叶饭店。于是顺字摸店，找是找到了，可是人家关门过年。很是郁闷撒。再看旁边有一家肥肠粉~吃点东西可是好不容易，波波折折。先是我交涉无果，似乎我说的他们听不懂，派出我们的翻译官谢谢去交涉，结果。。。也不咋地~最后，由我们东北大汉老会长亲自出马，连唬带吓的弄回了五碗肥肠粉。。。吃饱了自然是回扎西家继续晒太阳去。 长坪村的各种美，各种闲逛，和各种发呆~如果说爱上了四姑娘，就先从爱上这个小村子开始吧。我想要的生活，喂马，劈柴，周游世界，面朝四姑娘，春暖花开~~~~驴哥，你要纸么？一句话音没落地，旁边的栏杆里伸出了好几只拿纸的手。哎。。。太热情了！  悠闲的藏族姐妹们，我梦中的生活就是这样的。背着我的孙子，坐在村头，望着来来去去穿得花花绿绿户外衣服的前去登山的人们，心里想着，想当年，姐也是一样的意气风发，一样的不知天高地厚~~~现在，我就会在这里，看着你们~为你们祝福和祈祷一切顺利！！！加油，帅哥美女们！马儿，你告诉我，你是不是可烦那个给你照相的人了？他拿着镜头跟你比划了有半个钟头吧？来回路过的人都觉得，这四个人，跟头马较的什么劲呢？看这对未婚妻和未婚夫~~这恐怕是这次出行她们彼此最大的睡获了吧我喜欢这个小亭子~([

久久夜精品2021一区

这其实是我们夫妻俩人第二次去阿拉斯加了。第一次是在 2005 年去阿拉斯加首府朱诺(Juneau)。但是那一次天气不好，几乎全是阴雨天，玩得很不尽兴，后来也觉得朱诺的景点不够美。于是就有了再去一次的计画。这一次是去阿拉斯加最大城市安克拉治(Anchorage)以及一个小城苏沃德(Seward)。这两个城市都在阿拉斯加南方，就是下面地图的AB两个地点。其实去安克拉治只是因为国际班机在那里降落，苏沃德才是重点。整个行程都是我自己规划，不跟团，台湾旅行社只帮我们买机票。 这一次游记的照片共有 519 张，先来点精彩预告吧所有照片单击後可以放大我们在海边步道看见了野生麋鹿我们搭乘火车去苏沃德我们的旅馆在苏沃德的码头边 我们在大熊冰河露营泛舟我们沿着冰河旁的步道一路往上爬，从冰河脚下直到俯视冰河 我们走过了遍地野花的山谷预告到此为止，接下来就是游记了，我会努力更新 八月五日 出发 西雅图这是我们第一次在晚上到台湾桃园机场，灯光很鲜艳。经过十一小时飞行到达西雅图，起飞时的台北时间是八月五日晚上十一点，降落时的西雅图时间是同日晚上七点。因为经过国际换日线，时间反而倒退。我们预订的班机是明天早上六点飞往安克拉治，今晚要在西雅图过夜。这是我们预订的旅馆 Seattle Airport Marriott 的大厅。旅馆大厅的酒吧从半夜开始坐了十一小时的经济舱，难免精神萎靡，有个温暖的小窝真好。 八月六日 西雅图 安克拉治 麋鹿步道今天早起退房之后还有点时间，就去逛逛旅馆对面的一家 7-11，看看美国版和台湾版有何不同。7-11 门口有一台 DVD 和游戏光碟的自动出租机，台湾似乎还没有这样的机器。7-11 门口 一小筒哈根达斯在美国的 7-11 只卖 4.69 美金，大约 30 人民币。Walmart 的售价还要少一美金，若是遇上卖场特价活动还会更便宜。在台湾已经被炒作成两倍以上的价钱了。这里的可乐汽水都是两公升的大瓶装美国人的肚量显然远大于台湾人各种不健康加工零食，全是特大包装。五颜六色的不健康饮料，充满各式人工添加物，全美医师和医药公会强力推荐。今天早餐是在 7-11买的 snickers。不得不承认，我偶尔也会想吃不健康零食。在飞机上，坐在我们旁边的是一位美国大兵，他刚从阿富汗回来，今天是休假返乡了。西雅图机场又老又旧，安克拉治机场却是崭新的建筑，感觉很漂亮。 我们在安克拉治预订的是 Anchorage Grand Hotel，这是我们的房间。这与其说是房间，不如说是一户小公寓，空间宽敞，各种家居设施一应俱全，真是物超所值，我们都很喜欢。具体而微的小客厅此旅馆位于市区边缘，窗外那一堆白帐篷就是我们等一下要去的周末市集。从另一个角度往外看这厨房虽然小，但是有冰箱、瓦斯炉、烤箱、微波炉、洗碗机、刀叉餐具和全套橱柜，该有的都有了。床旁边有小书桌和小茶几从另一个角度看客厅([]

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?
