秋天，是个多彩的季节，金黄的草垫，火红的枫叶，橘红的橡树，米黄的白桦，犹如眼前一幅画卷，层林尽染漫山野，色彩斑斓入心脾。秋天更是一个适合出行的季节，不像冬天和春天那么枯燥乏味，也不像夏日那么烈日炎炎，更难得的是，还有一路的美景欣赏。在这样一个充满色彩的季节，我们不户外，更待何时？让我们背起背包出发吧，身体换一身装备出门，灵魂换一种态度回家，金秋季节，去欣赏那最美的秋景，错过了，那就只能等明年啦。。。人生就是一场漫长的旅行，在乎的是沿途的风景，在乎的是看风景的心情，带着自己的心与灵魂去旅行。。。去吧、孤石自然美、原生态美才是真正美！去吧、走向自然的户外天地，享受生活，享受户外！美好的东西总是迫不及待想与朋友分享。孤石清新凉爽的空气，碧绿水嫩的青草，蔚蓝悠远的天空，千变万化的白云，绚烂绽放的野花，可爱的马儿，猪儿，羊群，奶牛。。。农家院依山而建，构成一幅美丽的风景。车出大滩镇，柏油路就消失了，取而代之的是比较平坦的砂石路，车速可以达到三、四十迈。又过十公里，比较平坦的砂石路变成了颠簸的砂石路，车只能以二、三十迈的速度向前。路两边的景色渐入佳境，开始的时候两边还是农田，穿过几个小村子之后，两边已经被草甸所代替。终于，在经过了略显漫长的颠簸之后，我们到达了目的地——孤石牧场（孤石军马场）。孤石的秋天，一路穿行在金黄色的山脊大草甸中，感受秋天醉美的风景与魅力。。。东猴顶是燕山山脉的最高峰，海拔2292.6米，号称“京北第一峰”。其上广袤生长着高山草甸，远远望去象猴头顶，位于东面，故名东猴顶。东猴顶一年四季三季有雪，一季节是雾；山势雄伟，高峦截云，层陵断雾。站在其上，南望首都北京，北观坝上大草原，方圆千里群山峻岭，尽收眼底。山顶处生长着各种鲜花野草，还有大片乱石窖，游人垒成“玛尼塔林”，山顶西侧生长着满身长剌的鬼箭锦鸡儿，胜似好玩。秋季更是层林尽染，景色如同画中，被誉为摄影者的天堂。秋天，一个美丽的季节，一个收获的季节，一个浪漫的季节，一个多情的季节。在秋的思绪里，永远是那么浓郁，那么着迷。走进自然，融入自然，让心和静谧的黑龙山融合在一起吧。坝上草原—京北最近的天然氧吧，平均海拔1486米，以其特有的丘陵式草原地貌及滦河水脉的发源地而著称；湛蓝的天、秀美的山、清澈的水、遍地的花，勾画出四季各异的绝美佳境，孤石军马场便坐落于此境之中。坝上的秋色是一种诱惑。一望无际的草原, 曲线优美的丘陵，多姿多彩的白桦树林，都刚刚开始渲染秋色。。。人生最美的事就是游遍世界，世界那么大，应该出去看看。大滩镇草原在河北省承德市丰宁县，大家也称它丰宁坝上草原。非常凉快，空气没有污染，非常洁净。十一假期白天十七度左右，晚上五度左右。2015年10月1-5日，我们自驾越野小分队一行3车12人，早上730分西直门集合出发，北京——八达岭高速——赤诚怀来出口——赤城——沽源——大滩一线，三日重装扎营徒步探险穿越东猴顶—黑龙山—三岔林场—老掌沟—孤石牧场等，5日全体队员安全返京，结束了十一假期五天的户外活动。在秋高气爽的季节，呼吸一下新鲜的空气，每次去都会有不同的感受和欣喜，在中国的版图上又留下了一个脚印。户外自驾路线：1：北京——八达岭高速——赤诚怀来出口——赤城——沽源——大滩一线，一路非常顺利，路况很好，车速基本在100公里以上，特别是乡村公路，车少、路平、景美，那叫一个爽！从八达岭清河口出发到目的地320公里。2：丰宁坝上草原距北京马甸桥270公里。走京承高速公路-出怀柔口-走京加（G111)路，一直就到坝上草原。东猴顶一年四季三季有雪，一季节是雾；山势雄伟，高峦截云，层陵断雾。山顶处生长着各种鲜花野草，还有大片玛尼堆，是游人垒成“玛尼塔林”，山顶西侧生长着满身长剌的鬼箭锦鸡儿，胜似好玩。置身于此，俯瞰燕山群峰，细品林壑云沟，充分领略大自然的雄壮，尽享“一览众山小”，“山高我为峰”之妙。山顶前后各有清泉一处，深不可测。清康熙帝因向往此处“层峦叠嶂，群山俊秀，松桦并茂，草木苍翠，珍禽异兽，出没其里。”故将此地划为皇家西围场，以供皇家行围打猎。有了阳光，就有了光与影，也就有了迷人的景色。远近的树木，地上的花草，青青的山，都披上了霞光，充满了朝气。孤石军马场位于内蒙古与河北交界，丰宁坝上草原最深处。拥有20万亩原始无人草场区。孤石军马场夏季平均气温16-24度，凉爽宜人，成为北京游客的避暑休闲地。驾驭爱马，在阳光的普照下，走过田野，踱步坡头，穿过丛林，深入谷底，跳跃溪流，体会勇士豪情，诗情画意。太阳渐渐升起。这是上到东猴顶的土路。东猴顶，雄奇秀丽的猴顶山位于赤城县东北部，距县城８０公里，最高峰东猴顶海拔２２９３米，是赤城县第一高峰。清康熙帝因向往此处“层峦叠嶂，群山俊秀，松桦并茂，草木苍翠，珍禽异兽，出没其里。”故将此地划为西围场，以供皇家行围打猎，猴顶山以其峰险、石奇、林茂、泉多和丰富的野生资源而被人们向往。山顶的玛尼堆为登山象征！秋天，层林尽染，满山红遍，五光十色，大家不约而同为了东猴顶的金秋美景而来。越往高处走风景越好，远山近景、五颜六色的花草让我们不得不停下脚步，举起相机拍个不停，到达东猴顶感觉自己是最幸福的人，那里的景色是我从未看到过的让我震撼。秋色正浓。人们堆成的玛尼堆，每一块石头，都是一个信仰，也是一份念想。在这大自然鬼斧神工塑造的仙境中，我们心中所有的杂念都将会抛之脑后。峰险。大大小小的山峰突兀奇立，似鹰嘴，如人形，像斧劈……千姿百态。每逢阴雨之前，云雾迷漫环绕山间，群峰若有若无，飘渺不定?“海市蜃楼”般使人疑是到了仙界，最诱人的是登临猴顶山的最高峰东猴顶，极目远眺，百里风光尽收眼内，这时才让人真正体会到“无限风光在险峰”的意蕴。峰顶地势平坦开阔达百亩，绿草如茵中有一泉眼，称“绿泉”，泉水呈绿色汨汨而出，泉眼深不可测，相传“萧太后千军万马也饮不尽绿泉之水”，泉旁有无数石块垒起的座座小石山，苔痕点点，满目沧桑，不知是何年何月何人所为。石奇。猴顶山巨石造型各异，千姿百态。被称为“大石王”的巨石如苍鹰展翅；“仙人指”如一飘逸仙人举手为人指点迷津；“钓鱼台”曾是名相刘墉和乾隆帝微服私访时纳凉消遣的地方，钓鱼台上棋盘清晰可辨；“风动石”重约３万余斤，临壁而立，仅以两块拳头大石头支撑，山风吹来，微微晃动，真的是惊险绝伦；石人洼的“殉情石人”似一男一女紧紧相拥，更有一段悲壮感人的爱情传说。最具有特色的是有“北方石林”之称的猴顶山石林，独特的岩溶地貌，使石林或独立成形，或连片挺立，或鳞次栉比，让人不得不惊叹大自然的鬼斧神工。林茂。猴顶山的原始森林和次生林达２０万亩，森林覆盖率８５％以上。苍翠的松柏、挺拔的白桦树、郁郁葱葱的灌木丛依山势而滋生、蔓延，一望无际，令人心旷神怡。春天，百花争艳，姹紫嫣红，鸟语花香；夏天，万山披绿，千蝶翻飞，飞彩流霞；秋天，层林尽染，满山红遍，五光十色；冬天，千里冰封，山舞银蛇，雪压枝头。泉多。猴顶山泉水丰富，除峰顶著名的“绿泉”外，还有明泉、暗泉30多处。这些泉水或涌于山顶，或溢于山间可腰缠半山，或流于谷底，或高涯壁悬，且泉水或寒或暖各不相同，正是“六月冰雪未化尽，腊月也有未冻冰”。有两处泉水，一处喝了要坏肚，名曰“坏泉”，一处喝了能补肚，名曰“好泉”，甚是令人惊奇。小石林下的五、六处泉眼，汨汨而出，顺坡流下，在一山凹处汇成一潭，绿水盈盈，行人渴了，掬一捧清澈透明的泉水，送入口中，清冽甘甜，沁人心脾，顿觉周身通畅，精神振奋。东猴顶山势雄伟，高峦截云，层陵断雾。引引站在其上，南望首都北京，北观坝上大草原，方圆千里群山峻岭，尽收眼底。。清康熙帝因向往此处“层峦叠嶂，群山俊秀，松桦并茂，草木苍翠，珍禽异兽，出没其里。” 白云再给美景添彩。金黄的秋色，让人陶醉。爬到东猴顶，那是一片秋黄的高山草甸。东猴顶上还有成片的玛尼堆。远方那成片的风力发电风车依稀可辨。放眼望去让人心旷神怡。这里的风景绚丽多彩，这里的风光优美如画，这里的感觉如醉如痴，这里的色彩如梦如幻，这里的山水让人流连忘返，这里的景色用任何语言来形容都显得苍白。最值得称道的还它的色彩，简直就是上帝的后花园。东猴顶是燕山群锋之首（比雾灵山高176.6米)，是京北第一高锋。其上广袤生长着高山草甸，远远望去象猴头顶，位于东面，故名东猴顶。玛尼堆，登山人的汗水和石片堆成。

在内罗毕参加了当地旅行社提供的SAFARI行程，一辆面包车临时凑起四个来自不同国家（中国、日本、保加利亚、肯尼亚）的客人，安排住CAMP的SAFARI六天报价680美元，包括CAMP内的三餐。如果因观赏动物中午不能返回CAMP，还包括野外的盒饭。好一点的帐篷宿营区可以在帐篷内部提供简单的淋浴和卫生设施，营区内有人烹制简单的餐食，还算可以我去过的最后一个帐篷营地很简陋只有几个水龙头和公共淋浴设施，就属于比较艰苦的了。前排左起：伶达、松田奈丽、扎西后排：库拉利通常的野生动物观赏地有三个：马塞马拉国家公园（MASAI MARA），纳库鲁湖国家公园（LAKE NAKULU）。安波塞利国家公园（AMBOSELI）马塞马拉国家公园（MASAI MARA）马塞马拉在肯尼亚南部，属于肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚共同建立的塞伦盖蒂 – 马塞马拉动物保护区。每年，数以百万计的角马，斑马争先恐后渡过马拉河，逐水草迁徙在塞伦盖蒂和马塞马拉之间，成为《国家地理》，探索频道永恒的主。这里是肯尼亚最好的野生动物观赏地。野生动物的种类和数量都是首屈一指的。最特别的是汽车可以在广袤的草原上任意沿着长期碾压出来的车辙行驶，也可以在地面条件允许时独辟蹊径。这就使游客可以在最近的距离观赏野生动物。我们就有数次与狮子，猎豹面对面的接触。纳库鲁湖国家公园（LAKE NAKULU）这里以燃烧的火焰 – 火烈鸟著称。大裂谷的西侧，一潭潋艳的湖水。一个一个并不很大，只有62平方公里的咸水湖，湖水也很浅，只有两三米。但是这里却因三百万只大火烈鸟的聚集，而闻名世界，被称做火烈鸟的天堂。湖边成片的金合欢树林，映衬蓝色的湖水，火红的火烈鸟，俨然一幅大自然的风景画卷。安波塞利国家公园（AMBOSELI）安波塞利国家公园也在肯尼亚的南部，马塞马拉的西边。个人感觉这里最著名的就是非洲之颠 – 乞力马扎罗山。虽然乞力马扎罗山在坦桑尼亚境内，但是最佳的观赏位置却是在安波塞利。乞力马扎罗山在这里呈现出完全对称的火山地貌，遗憾的就是随着地球边暖，山顶的积雪在旱季已经寥寥了。安波塞利国家公园更多的是平原，雨季浅浅的湿地在旱季变成成片的荒野，气流不时卷起一股股小龙卷风。几个不大的池塘，就成了各种动物的聚集宝地。我们感觉这里除了大象群以外，其他的野生动物远比不上马塞马拉。最不方便的一点就是这里不允许汽车在干涸的原野中自由行驶，必须沿着几条砂石公路行驶，给野生动物的观赏带来不小的局限性。毕竟动物们并不一定都在路边上恭候我们。如果一心一意想看动物，倒不妨不来这里，而在马塞马拉多住几天。地球的“十字架”东非大裂谷（RIFT VALLEY）号称“地球伤疤”的东非大裂谷纵贯肯尼亚，戏称“地球裤腰带”的赤道横穿肯尼亚。我就把这个巧合妄称为“地球十字架”吧。首都内罗毕在裂谷的边缘，去马塞马拉的话，出内罗毕不远就是眺望大裂谷的观景台，景色蔚为壮观。沿盘山公路下行，进入谷底一直向南，就是马塞马拉国家公园了。裂谷在肯尼亚人心中有非常重要的位置，以至于他们把其中的一个省命名为“裂谷省”。小费通常是一辆车4 – 6人，司机兼导游。小费一般每人每天5 – 10 美元。如果对司机的服务满意当然可以多给一些。小费是在全部行程结束时给的。易货肯尼亚的木雕非常有名，乌木，乌心木等硬木雕塑的人物，动物都是不错的纪念品。在前往任何一个国家公园的途中，都有供旅行车停车休息，旅客方便的地方，那里都有出售纪念品的摊位。根据我的经验与教训，最好不要在这里买，因为喊出的价格非常高，即使侃价下来，也不划算。内罗毕市中心有个CITY MARKET，里面有很多出售木雕的摊位，价格相对便宜。观赏野生动物，如果司机兼导游是说英语，就需要知道常见的野生动物名称。 Aardvark 土豚 Baboon 狒狒 bush buck 南非大羚羊 cheetah 猎豹 dik-dik 非洲小羚羊 Eland 旋角大羚羊 hippo 河马 hornbill 犀鸟 Hyena 鬣狗 Implala 黑斑大羚羊 mongoose 猫鼬 ostrich 鸵鸟oribi 非洲侏羚oryx 直角大羚羊rock thrush 非洲画眉secretary bird 鹭鹰shrikes 伯劳鸟starling 八哥stork 鹳topi 牛羚Tompson’s gazelle 汤普森瞪羚vulture 兀鹰Waterbucks 非洲大羚羊wildbeest 角马wildhog 疣猪whilst rock hyRAX 蹄兔六天的行程：内罗毕——马塞马拉国家公园 ———纳库鲁湖国家公园 ——安波塞利国家公园 ——内罗毕马塞马拉国家公园三天纳库鲁湖国家公园一天安波塞利国家公园二天另外三个同伴简单的介绍：伶达：肯尼亚人，当我们在车上看野生动物时，她大多时间都在座位上看书~库拉利：保加利亚人，伶达的男友，很沉默寡言的一个老实人松田奈丽日本妞，来非洲的志愿者，她在上海财经大学留过学，现在新加坡搞什么数据分析，她只跟我们一起走了两天后又去别的国家，很阳光大气的女孩，在一起混了一天多就可以勾腰搭背了，她也成了我这二天的兼职翻译车子去马塞马拉途中在东非大裂谷的观景台停留了一会本来以为大裂谷会像峡谷一样的深不可测，但看看身后大裂谷就有些失望了这是别家去草原看野生动

虫虫草民神马花花电影

阮琳谦

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 *50mm）白色背景的正面照片，面部与双耳图像清晰。（一张贴在申请表上，一张递交。）3、护照原件，带护照信息页和名页的复印件两张。（如有旧护照，一并提供）4、身份证正反面复印件一份。5、往返机票出票单一份。（电子行程单也可以）6、冻结3个月以上1万元以上的银行存款证明。（可以从送之日算起）7、公司在职证明一份（英文）。（用带公司信息的纸打印，内容包括：本人姓名，护照号码，职位，准假时间，工资年薪，盖公司公章，公司HR名）注：即使户籍不在上海，只要是在上海工作的同学，开具了公司在职证明即可。8、行程安排一份。（英文，需要本人名）9、证费349元+服务费165元，共计514元/人。（需交现金。证申请中心只提供服务费165元的发票，不提供印度大使馆/领事馆所收取的证费发票。）上海印度证中心地址：徐家汇路555号2楼。营业时间：800—1500

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

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。([]

洛阳，一座有着5000多年文明史、4000年的建城史和1500多年的建都史的古城，是华夏文明的发源地和中华民族的发祥地之一。而洛阳又因牡丹闻名于世，被世人誉为“千年帝都，牡丹花城”。在牡丹花盛开的日子里，我独行洛阳，去造访这座千年都城并欣赏我国著名的国花。4月10日晚，乘坐K419次列车，经过6个半小时的车程，与次日清晨558，我到达了洛阳。按照事先做好的功课，车到洛阳站后，出站后直接去公交站台乘坐801公交，上车直达龙门石窟。龙门石窟位于洛阳市南郊龙门峡谷东西两崖的峭壁间。因为这里东、西两山对峙，伊水从中流过，看上去宛若门厥，所以又被称为“伊厥”，唐代以后，多称其为“龙门”。这里地处交通要冲，山清水秀，气候宜人，是文人墨客的观游胜地。又因为龙门石窟所在的岩体石质优良，宜于雕刻，所以古人选择此处开凿石窟。龙门石窟是中国石刻艺术宝库之一，国家AAAAA级景区。2000年被联合国科教文组织列为世界文化遗产。两山之间的伊水让洛阳这座古城尽显了灵秀之气。龙门石窟位是中国石刻艺术宝库之一，世界文化遗产、是中国四大石窟之一。龙门石窟与甘肃敦煌莫高窟、山西大同云冈石窟并称为“中国三大石刻艺术宝库”。石窟始凿于北魏孝文帝时（公元471～477年），历经400余年才建成，迄今已有1500年的历史，龙门石窟南北长约1公里，现存石窟1300多个，窟龛2345个，记和碑刻3600余品，佛塔50余座，佛像97000余尊。最大的佛像高达17.14米，最小的仅有2厘米。其中以宾阳中洞、奉先寺和古阳洞最具有代表性。宾阳中洞是北魏时期（公元386～512年）的代表性作品。这个洞窟前后用了24年才建成，是开凿时间最长的一个洞窟。洞内有11尊大佛像。主像释迦牟尼像，面部清秀，神情自然，堪称北魏中期石雕艺术的杰作。主像座前刻有两只姿态雄健的石狮。左右侍立二弟子，二菩萨，菩萨像含笑凝眸，温柔敦厚。洞中还雕刻着众菩萨，弟子听法的浮雕像，栩栩如生。窟顶飞天仙子的刻画也十分传神。宾阳中洞是北魏时期代表性的洞窟。“宾阳”意为迎接出生的太阳。宾阳三洞开凿于北魏时期，是北魏的宣武帝为他父亲孝文帝做功德而建。它开工于公元500年，历时24年，用工达80万2366个，后因为发生宫廷政变以及主持人刘腾病故等原因，计划中的三所洞窟（宾阳中洞、南洞、北洞）仅完成了一所即宾阳中洞，南洞和北洞都是到初唐才完成了主要造像。宾阳中洞内为马蹄形平面，穹窿顶，中央雕刻重瓣大莲花构成的莲花宝盖，莲花周围是八个伎乐天和两个供养天人。它们衣带飘扬，迎风翱翔在莲花宝盖周围，姿态优美动人。洞内为三世佛材，即过去、现在、未来三世佛。主佛为释迦牟尼。他是佛教的创始人，原名叫乔达摩·悉达多，原是古印度净饭王的儿子。他和中国的孔子生活在同一时代，比孔子要年长12岁。他在29岁时出家修行，经过六年，悟道成佛，创立了佛教。由于北魏时期崇尚以瘦为美，所以主佛释迦牟尼面颊清瘦，脖颈细长，体态修长。衣纹密集，雕刻手法采用的是北魏的平直刀法。由于北魏孝文帝迁都洛阳后实行了一系列的汉化政策，所以洞中主佛的服饰一改云冈石窟佛像那种偏袒右肩式袈裟，而身着宽袍大袖袈裟。释迦牟尼所有侍立二弟子、二菩萨。二菩萨含睇若笑，文雅敦厚。左右壁还各有造像一铺，都是一佛、二菩萨，着褒衣博带袈裟，立于覆莲座上。洞中前壁南北两侧，自上而下有四层精美的浮雕。第一层是以《维摩诘经》故事为材的浮雕，叫做“维摩变”。第二层是两则佛本生故事。第三层为著名的帝后礼佛图。第四层为“十神王”浮雕像。特别是位于第三层的帝后礼佛图，它们反映了宫廷的佛事活动，刻划出了佛教徒虔诚、严肃、宁静的心境，造型准确，制作精美，代表了当时生活风俗画的高度发展水平，具有重要的艺术价值和历史价值。非常可惜的是，在上个世纪的三、四十年代被盗往国外了，现在分别陈列在美国纽约大都会博物馆和美国堪萨斯州纳尔逊艺术博物馆。 “剪刀手”卖萌佛祖在宾阳中洞石窟，有一尊历经千年风霜的佛像，手势神似“剪刀手”。剪刀手佛像是在向游人卖萌，在提醒大家保护文物，还是想说点什么？有网友评论：四百年前的艺术大师们好有远见，知道在四百年后剪刀手肯定会风靡全球。《伊阙佛龛之碑》亦称"褚遂良碑"。篆额《伊阙佛龛之碑》。贞观十五年(公元641年)刻于河南省洛阳龙门石窟壁宾阳洞内。这里因伊水东西两岸之香山和龙门山对峙如天然门阙，故古称“伊阙”，隋唐以后，习称龙门。《伊阙佛龛之碑》通高约5.00米、宽1.90米。由中书侍郎岑文本撰文，谏议大夫褚遂良书。字共三十二行，满行五十一字。计一千六百余字。碑文主要记述唐太宗第四子魏王李泰为其母文德皇后长孙氏死后做功德而开凿，太宗末年李泰与太子李承乾争夺太子位，李泰借为母亲开窟造像做功德，实有获得太宗好感，为自已捞取政治资本的目的。这通碑原应为北魏所雕的宾阳中洞的造窟碑，到了唐代李泰为节省费用，竟就势磨去原有碑文，又重新雕刻成唐碑的。关于该碑的记载，始见于宋嘉祐六年(公元1061年)欧阳修之《集古录》及赵明诚之《金石录》。《伊阙佛龛之碑》是早期传世褚书的代表作。为目前国内所见褚遂良楷书之最大者，字体清秀端庄，宽博古质,是准的初唐楷书。此碑虽说是碑，实际上却是摩崖刻石。两者功用相同，都是为歌功颂的。但在创作时条件不同，一个是光平如镜，而另一个则是凹凸不平，书写的环境也不会那么优游自在。于是，摩崖书法的特征也就不言而喻。因无法近观与精雕细琢，于是便在气势上极力铺张，字形比碑志大得多，舒卷自如，开张跌宕。正是在这一点上，像汉代的《石门颂》、《郙阁颂》、《西峡颂》，它们气度之开张，韵致之飞扬，自然拙朴，即使是如《礼器碑》、《乙瑛碑》、《史晨碑》等真正的碑志精品也无法比拟，褚遂良的《伊阙佛龛碑》，正是这样一种典型的摩崖书风。传世墨拓以明代何良俊清森阁旧藏明初拓本为最佳，拓工精致、字口如新；比《金石萃编》所载犹多五十余字，曾经清代毕泷、沈志达、费念慈等递藏，现藏北京图书馆。有影印本行世。魏窟――公元495年魏宗室丘慧成开始在龙门山开凿古阳洞，500--523年魏宣武帝、魏孝明帝连续开凿宾阳洞的北中南三个大石窟，石阳洞和宾阳洞的修建共费人工80万以上，还开凿了药方洞和东魏时开凿的莲花洞等石窟。北朝石窟都在龙门山，古阳洞自慧成至东魏末50多年的营造，表现出列多的中国艺术形式，大佛姿态也由云岗石窟的雄健可畏转变为龙门石窟的温和可亲。以宾阳中洞主佛为代表的佛像，人物面部含着微笑，龙门石窟比云岗石窟表现出更多的中国艺术佛像。龙门石窟还保留有大量的宗教、美术、书法、音乐、服饰、医药、建筑和中外交通等方面的实物史料。因此，它又是一座大型的石刻艺术博物馆。只可惜龙门石窟遭受的破坏要比云冈石窟大得多，绝大多数佛像都不存在或者是残缺不全的了。 ([]

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([]

Alpina(阿尔卑斯酒店)，HOTEL ALPINA是一家有着悠久历史的三星级涉外旅游酒店，酒店大部分房间都能看到勃朗峰和南针峰，东南向的房间都有一个露天的小阳台，房间整洁，略显陈旧，全部都是实木家具和门窗。晚餐前还有点时间，大家相约到小镇上逛一逛，顺便找一家正宗的餐厅品尝一下法式大餐。Chamonix霞慕尼小镇因坐落于欧洲屋脊阿尔卑斯山最高峰——勃朗峰（4810M）脚下而享誉世界。1924年，第一届冬季奥林匹克运动会在这里举行，1786年，霞慕尼医生Paccard (帕卡德)及其脚夫Balmat (巴尔马特)首次登顶勃朗峰。从此后这里逐渐成为欧洲人最喜爱的登山滑雪圣地，这里有欧洲最高的缆车可直达勃朗峰观景台——南针峰。小镇上的观光车这个季节的游客不多，小镇两旁商店鳞次栉比，街道整洁干净，各种登山、滑雪、户外商店随处可见，这里汇聚了世界上个大顶尖户外品牌的专卖店，我戏称这里的户外店是只有你不知道，没有你看不到的！作为一群户外爱好者，我们的首选当然是个大户外品牌店了，这里的户外装备价格并不算便宜，不过还是要比国内低15%——30%左右的。悠悠荡荡、走走停停，不知不觉天已经暗了下来，这里的商店大部分都是19：00停业，我们找到一家看上去不错的法式餐厅，这里的牛扒和海鲜都很不错，就是配菜的薯条有点粗大，有懂行的队友说这就是正宗的法式薯条，我怎么看怎么像油炸土豆块儿。这里和国内有6个小时的时差，晚餐后我们回到宾馆早早休息，明天就要进行高海拔适应性训练了。二、整装待发、阿尔卑斯初体验HOTEL ALPINA 的早餐从7：00开始供应，今天我们要进行首日的适应性训练，大家都早早来到位于7楼的餐厅，一个霞穆尼小镇和阿尔卑斯山景观餐厅。天还有些暗，由于霞穆尼小镇地处山谷之中，太阳的朝晖已经开始一点点洒落在勃朗峰上，为洁白的雪山镀上一抹金黄，我们在靠窗的为止边吃边欣赏景色，大家不禁感慨，人生如此，夫复何求啊。这里的早餐种类不多，不过还算丰盛，而且味道都还不错，特别是新烘烤出来的各种面包，各式各样的果酱和火腿片，早餐的鸡蛋需要自己煮。我们把不需要带的装备寄存到酒店，这次活动的总教练Aymeric带着另外两个教练来了，一个是意大利籍的Hugues，我们都戏称他“渔歌”，Hugues同时也是一位资深的滑翔伞教练；瑞士籍的Elodie（艾乐迪），是瑞士一所大学的历史老师，Elodie是阿尔卑斯山为数不多的女高山向导之一。这边的商店大多在9：00到930开门，我们在Aymeric的带领下一起去镇上一家综合户外用品商店购买和租赁雪山攀登的装备，这个店我们昨天下午来过，营业面积两三千米，三层，基本所有的户外装备都可以在这里买到，这边租赁高山靴和冰爪的价格是一周125欧元，价格有点小贵。资深户外摄影师“凯伊”在凯伊哥的建议下我选购了一双La portiva Batura2.0 GTX高山靴和一GRYAEL G14全齿冰爪；媳妇儿选了一双La portiva EVO和一副Simond的行走爪。SIMOND的冰爪就是霞穆尼生产的，有一百多年的历史了，Aymeric很高兴的给我们介绍。这里登山靴的价格大概是国内的价的一半，Aymeric找到经理很给面子的给我们打了个九五折。这里的户外店店员专业知识都非常好，不单单是为了销售产品，还逐步给我们介绍这些装备的使用方法、注意事项和保养的知识，而且给我们介绍的店员还伸出大拇指说你们选的都是非常好的，非常专业的。Aymeric 交款退税，这里要说一下关于到霞穆尼的刷卡消费和退税，网上说的银联大部分商店都可以用是不靠谱的，在霞穆尼就没找到有能刷银联卡的地方，幸亏来之前换了足够的欧元和一张备用的万事达卡，不然可真就成了入宝山空手而归了，所以大家如果出行最好还是带着VISA或者万事达才靠谱。选择可以直接人民币还款的比较省事儿，直接按照当天的汇率结算，省去购汇还款的麻烦。摄影之友新媒体运营总监“梓朕”（左）和“皮带断了古进”关于退税，这边的规定是当日单笔消费超过175.01欧元就可以申请退税，店里的工作人员会为你填好退税单，只需出示护照就OK了，欧洲的退税办理分为两个不同的退税公司GLOBE BLUE PREMIETTAX GREE（环球蓝联）和EUTOTEFUND GTOUP（这个不知道怎么翻译，应该是个什么贸易组织之类的）。我个人觉得环球蓝联的比较方便，直接到海关出境处就可以退现金；EUTOTEFUND GTOUP的退税是需要退到信用卡里的，我们基本上回到国内不到半个月就都收到了退税，效率还是比较高的，虽然后来出境退税时出现了一个有意思的小插曲儿，这个留到后面再说。Aymeric（左）Hugues（右）今天是周六，在我们酒店门前的广场上有一个临时的集贸市场，基本上都是当地农场自产的农副产品，看了一下价格还是挺实惠的，不过我们就要去进行适应训练了，无暇光顾，只能匆匆而过，我们一行12个人加3个教练正好三辆车，三个教练又兼任了司机的工作，这边的汽车以两厢车和三厢旅行款为主，吉普车不多，三厢的轿车基本上看不到，车型不算新，但车况都不错，有不少经典的老款车型。驱车二十分钟左右，一路盘旋上升，我们来到缆车站停车场，在这里Aymeric给我们分配了这两天训练的路餐，已经快十二点了，今天我们要到达Refuge木屋，在停车场简单吃了点路餐，合影购票，缆车上的风景很漂亮，天气也很不错，这边有很多老外在玩儿山地车速降，感觉非常刺激，有一个专业的赛道，竟然还有妈妈带着十一二岁的小朋友玩儿这个，在国内可能有点不敢想象的。我们要乘坐两段缆车，缆车票是单次往返的，有效期一直到11月底，到达山脊上的缆车站，接下来我们要徒步上升大概五六百米去到Refuge木屋，距离大概七八公里的样子，前半部分路段都比较好走，最后一段碎石陡坡路段需要手脚并用了，第一天训练，大家的热情还是比较高的，一路上遇到很多从山上下来的登山爱好者，老人小孩儿都有，他们都会礼貌的和我们打招呼，我学会的第一个法语单词就是Bonjour（你好）。但是为了向欧洲人民普及中文，我都提前大声跟他们说你好，有部分人也会学着我的发音和我打招呼。整装待发下午四点，我们陆续到达Refuge木屋，阿尔卑斯山的登山环境很好，高山木屋的设施很齐备，有专门的鞋柜和存放柜，首先要脱下你的登山装备换上拖鞋，有专门放登山装备的塑料箱子和晾衣服的挂钩，一般不把除了随身的贵重物品之外的东西带到餐厅或宿舍。这里的物资全部是用直升飞机运送，阿尔卑斯山的高山木屋有着悠久的历史，对阿尔卑斯山的户外登山运动发展有着卓越的贡献，近似于公益性质，木屋里商品的价格也不是太贵，大部分可以通过网络和电话预定，高山木屋从9月底到第二年的4月大部分是关闭的。Refuge木屋正在进行改建，资金来自各行各业的捐赠，里面的工作人员有一部分是志愿者，我们将是今年最后一批使用Refuge木屋的登山者。小木屋的志愿者吃过晚饭我们早早回到宿舍开会，宿舍是两排二层铺位，能住24个人，因为现在登山的人不多，只有我们一队住在这个房间。在宿舍做了一个简短的总结，Aymetic问了一下大家对今天徒步的感受，是否有不适之类，并且告知我们未来几天的天气有可能会变的很糟，但大家的精神面貌都不错，可以说是信心满满，最后我们15个人分成三组：罗静、杨波、贺源、古进由Aymetic带队为第一组；凯伊、王冠、我和婷婷由Hugues带队为第二组；梓朕、花而、Angela、无痕由因Elodie带队为第三组。明天不用起的太早，大伙还躺在床上侃了会儿大山，房间有点小冷，不过休息的还都不错。三、大雾来袭、全员登顶白头峰早上七点队友们陆续起床，感觉有点凉，室外被浓雾笼罩，变天了，能见度很低，餐厅提供的早餐还可以，有热牛奶、咖啡、红茶，配上面包果酱，昨天体力消耗不大，早上实在没什么胃口，简单吃了两片面包，这里的小木屋热水是收费的，2欧元1L。待大伙收拾好已经快九点了，山上的大雾没有消散的迹象，Aymetic告诉我们未来几天的天气可能都很糟糕。我们九点整准时出发，小木屋的旁边就是冰川，但我们要先经过一段碎石路段上到冰川上，距离大概五六百米。世界杂志“贺源”我的东北老乡我们到达冰川后开始结组，穿好冰爪，海拔较低的这一段冰川相对陡峭，这里的能见度只有100多米，不时出现一些冰裂缝，不过都不是很宽，一步就能跨过去，过了这段低海拔的冰川是就是雪坡了，坡度不大，行进的速度适中，几个教练都非常的专业，按照一定的频率和节奏缓步攀升，大概继续行进一小时左右到达一处有裸露岩石的避风地，我们在这里稍事休整，简单的补充一下高热食品和热水，继续前进。后面的路程大部分都是雪坡的行走，其中有一处较大的裂缝有一点点危险，山上的雾时聚时散，已经有早出发的登山者开始下山了，我们大概总共用了五六个小时登顶TETE BLANCHE（白头峰），海拔3429M，海拔上升将近700M，最后一段有三十米左右雪岩混合攀登。前两组基本上同时登顶，我们在背风处解决午餐的时候，第三组也顺利的登顶了，云雾渐渐减弱，山顶处的风比较大，我们随即下撤，下午三点多回到Refuge木屋，简单的收拾后都来到餐厅喝茶聊天。“梓朕”说他最后是用腰带动腿走下来的，惟妙惟肖的边说边跟我们演示，一度成为我们这次旅程的笑谈。而“花而”更是大声感叹：“Lafuma带我们玩儿真的”。晚餐后照例还是一个小小的总结会：今天婷婷在冰岩混合攀登的路段脚崴了一下，决定放弃第二天的训练；梓朕、Agela和无痕身体不适也放弃了第二天的训练；Aymetic根据今天大家的表现又重新给我们从新进行了编组。Aymetic和Hugues带两组人继续按照计划攀登第二座适应训练山峰，剩下的由Elodie带领进行简单一点的适应性训练。明天很早就要起来，今天大家的体力消耗也比较大，都早早的休息了，据“凯伊”说我刚刚躺下说了一句话就睡过去了，看来还真是不轻松。四、风雪交加、雨雾相伴中完成测试训练三点半准时起床，“凯伊”有点感冒，今天参加训练的队友又少了一个，餐厅已经准备好早餐，已经有人一早出发了。我们吃过早餐，Aymetic和Hugues带领我们五名队员一早出发，Aymetic带杨波、罗静和皮带断了；Hugues带着我和王冠，室外漆黑一片，空气湿度很大，头灯的光亮只能照到前面的队友。今天前段的路程和昨天一样，过碎石坡、冰川、雪坡，天色渐亮，云层很高，有点黑云压顶的感觉，今天训练的山峰是在瑞士境内的Aiguille du Tour，海拔3542M，比昨天的略高，路程相对较短，但难度有所提升，特别是后段的冰岩混合的攀升，基本上都是70°以上的混合岩壁。经过两个多小时的跋涉到达岔路，昨天的雾比较大，只能看到一串延伸的胶印，今天一眼就能看到这个大雪坡的顶端，50°左右的雪坡，顶部是一段雪岩结合的垭口，我和王冠的教练Hugues告诉我们翻过这个垭口就是瑞士境内了，我们会在垭口处休息。前面隐约能看到三五个登山者，由于坡度较大，我们只能做Z字形爬升，最不喜欢走的就是雪坡了，特别是有雾的时候，四周没有参照物，感觉就像一直在原地转悠，非常折磨人。这种雪坡对体力的消耗非常大，一脚下去雪已经快到膝盖了，高山靴上粘的雪让脚步愈加沉重，上面不时有雪滚下来，经过将近一个小时的努力，终于翻过了折磨人的大雪坡，上面一段几十米的冰岩混合有点小难度，王冠以前从没爬过这样的山，速度不快，对于不是经常户外的她来说非常不容易，但是她的意志力和耐力都很棒，很有登山的潜质。垭口上的云雾时聚时散，Aymetic告诉我们雨夹雪马上就要来了，不知道他是看了天气预报还是经验之谈，我们抓紧赶路，接下来是一段较缓的雪坡，山上的风越来越大，云雾被风吹散，已经能看到我们今天要登顶的Aiguille du Tour了，远远就能看到在雪岩混合附近的一条大冰裂缝。走到跟前，冰裂缝最宽处大概七八米，窄的地方也有两三米，有一座一尺多宽的雪桥，这个雪桥还是有点危险的，我们都安全的通过了，虽然姿势各式各样，接下来到顶峰的是雪岩混合攀登，用了将近大半个小时左右，山顶的雾比较大，我和王冠在冰岩混合路段行进的比较慢，对于第一次接触冰岩混合攀登的王冠来说有点难，最后还是能够顺利登顶。在山顶拍照留念，山顶雾大风急，补充一点能量开始下撤，俗话说上山容易下山难，这段冰岩对我来说比较适合，因为平时都有经常攀岩，王冠开始有点害怕，克服了恐惧心理就好多了，我们顺利下撤到雪桥。速度虽然不快，但收获很大，特别是王冠童鞋。今天的训练没感觉特别累，我们下山的时候开始飘起了雪花，雪越下越大，在下山的路上遇到了进行简单体能训练的几位队友，等我们回到小木屋，这里的工人已经开始清理小木屋的物资了，所以今天中午只能吃自己携带的给养。一架小型直升机负责运送物资，有十几个工人在忙碌，我们整理好携带的物资和装备，开始在风雪中下撤，随着海拔逐渐下降，雪变成雨夹雪，由变成雨，浓雾依然和我们一路相伴，造的都挺狼狈的，我们乘坐缆车回到山下，在缆车站旁边的一个咖啡屋取暖，这个季节爬山的人不多，滑雪的季节也没到，咖啡屋里只有一个老人为我们服务，这里的红茶和咖啡都很不错。率先登顶的第一组Aymetic和Hugues两个人一直在商量未来几天的天气，队友们各自对这两天的训练进行了总结，Aymetic告诉我们未来几天勃朗峰有暴风雪，可能会有时速达到50公里以上的大风，基本上登顶勃朗峰的计划难以完成了，而且根据这两天的训练来看，即使是非常好的天气，全队也不可能全部登顶勃朗峰，可能是我们开始就把勃朗峰想象的太简单了吧，因为大部分队员在国内都是攀登过海拔五六千米的雪山，相对海拔只有4810M的勃朗峰大家还是比较有信心的。而阿尔卑斯山的雪山相对攀登的海拔要比国内大部分雪山的高，对体力和毅力要求很大，而且其中有很多地方需要技术攀登才能通过，Aymetic和Hugues根据所有队员这三天的训练表现告诉我们，如果天气允许，只有杨波、罗静、皮带和我有可能登顶勃朗峰。哥！你干啥呢？ Aymetic提议可以带我们到意大利境内去爬一座海拔4000+的山峰，是阿尔卑斯山的一座完全在意大利境内的最高峰——大帕拉迪索峰，大家最后经过讨论决定分成两组，由Hugues带四名可能登顶勃朗峰的队员在霞慕尼多休整一天等待天气好转，剩下的队员由Aymetic和Elodie带队去意大利攀登大帕拉迪索（4061M）。下午回到酒店，美美的洗了一个热水澡，因为外边正下着雨，也没有出门逛街的欲望了，晚餐在酒店旁边的一个意大利餐馆，Aymetic和Hugues联合推荐，酒店前台的服务员也向我们推荐，这里的意大利面很正宗，还有海鲜面也非常棒。今晚可以好好的睡个觉了，明天自然醒——扫街！！！五、小镇休整、感受欧洲休闲度假小镇的悠闲今天是我们这次法国之旅最惬意的一天了，虽然山顶云雾缭绕，但山谷中的霞慕尼小镇却阳光明媚、温暖宜人。吃过早餐，队员们三五成群的结伴闲逛，今天有充足的时间感受霞慕尼小镇。之前大家有商量过，如果天气好可以去乘坐观光直升机、飞滑翔伞或者乘坐缆车上到南针峰的，但山顶的能见度不是很理想，我们只能选择在小镇里溜达了。我们悠闲的走在霞慕尼的街道上，逛的最多的当属各大世界顶级品牌的户外店了，在国内驴友比较熟悉的ARC’ TERYX(始祖鸟)、THENORTH FACE（北面）、MARMOT（土拨鼠）、MOUNTAINHARDWARE（哈德威尔）、Columbia（哥伦比亚）、Haglofs（火柴棍）、MSR、PETZL（攀索）、BD（黑钻）、Salomon（萨洛蒙）、Suunto（松拓）、的Norrona（老人头）、patagonia（巴塔哥尼亚）、Mammut（猛犸象）、ASLEWA（沙乐华）、LEKI、La Sportiva、OR、OSPREY（奥斯普瑞）、Gregory（格里高利）等等，我能叫上名字的就有二三十个之多，这还不包括一些其他滑雪、骑行、滑翔伞等等户外运动品牌，还有一些根本在国内没见过的品牌，真的是比国内的户外展品牌还多。当然还有我们本次活动的主办方LAFUMA（乐飞叶）的专卖店。其他卖旅游纪念品的小店也特别多，怎么说呢，好些东西制造的不是特别精细，木制品、树脂的摆件和冰箱贴、明信片等等，价格从几欧到几十欧不等，还是要买一点小纪念品回去送朋友们的。原来法国著名的百年奢侈品牌“Mont Blanc”就是勃朗峰的意思，LOGO就是根据俯瞰勃朗峰设计的，在中国我们叫它“万宝龙”！真是读万卷书不如行万里路啊。奢侈品看看就好，对我们这些活跃在山海之间的驴子们来说还是搞点户外装备实在。([]
