无人之境——青海星空拍摄之旅:茫崖翡翠湖和老茫崖

遍地的翡翠湖反映了青海旅游业起步阶段起名灵感的匮乏

这篇游记详细描绘了作者在青海茫崖翡翠湖和老茫崖的旅程,指出了翡翠湖因无人机和短视频的流行发展成网红景点的过程。随后返回老茫崖,边回顾历史边参观被遗弃的帐篷城,最后前往冷湖。作者建议自驾游、强调无人机视角的重要性。

这又是哪个翡翠湖

昨天一整天都在赶路,只去了我个人心心念念的石棉矿,今天要再不去个网红景点其他人得打死我。

青海好像到处都是翡翠湖。有名的就两个:茫崖和大柴旦。我们今天要去的是花土沟镇附近的茫崖翡翠湖。

这些湖早些年籍籍无名,一直在交通要道旁默默存在。后来有了无人机开启上帝视角,加上短视频和小红书的推波助澜,矿上面对突如其来的流量,仓促之间起了这个重复率极高的名字——翡翠湖。(也可能是到这里的游客起的,无论是谁起的,总归是缺少深思熟虑)。

茫崖这个翡翠湖位于花土沟镇东南方向,挨着尕斯库勒湖,从花土沟出来半小时即可到达。

翡翠湖位于尕斯湖的东部边缘,茫崖行委花土沟镇西南侧。距政府所在地约32公里,南依巍峨的昆仑山,北靠阿尔金山,是一个富饶而美丽的人工盐湖。盐湖总面积约26平方公里,属硫酸镁亚型盐湖,底部有石盐层,一般厚5米,最厚处达9.68米,湖中盛产锂、钾肥、芒硝等盐化物,这片大小不等、形态迥异、深浅不一的盐池中的高浓度盐水在当地称之为“卤水”,是历经多年的盐湖开采而形成的采坑,由于所含的矿物质浓度的不同,也就形成了颜色多彩的景象。

这里还不能称作景区,毕竟主业还是晒盐,一辆车10元的价格也不像是打算靠旅游发展。

来这里一定得自驾。买票进来后需要自行驾车环湖一周,全长7公里的土路你是不会想走完的。

在地面上固然能拍出引爆朋友圈的各种打卡照,但真正惊艳的角度还是得启动无人机从高空中俯瞰。

老茫崖——柴达木开发开始的地方

从翡翠湖出来时时间还早,于是我们没有停留,直接向冷湖进发。

没多久经过岔路口,向右通往昨天来的方向的格尔木,向左前往冷湖、敦煌。

过了这个路口不久,又来到了一个其他人不了解,我却一直想看看的地方:老茫崖。

据《茫崖行政区志》

1954年4月,首批石油地质勘探人员进驻老茫崖。青海石油勘探局所属钻井、录井、运输等单位陆续汇集老茫崖。1956年4月10日,国务院批准成立茫崖工矿区,各服务行业相继建立。荒无人烟的戈壁滩上搭起了数千顶帐篷,居住人口高峰时近3万人,1958年常住人口8000多人,成为柴达木盆地茫崖石油探区最早的帐篷城。1959年,石油会战冷湖探区,大量人员东迁冷湖,茫崖工行委机关及所属各单位西迁油砂山,与石油大队同住一地。油砂山设立了工业区、商业区、住宅区,成了第二座帐篷、地窝子城镇。居住人口4200人左右。

1963年8月,国务院批准撤销茫崖工矿区。1964年7月,青海省人委批准设立茫崖镇(即我们昨天去的石棉矿),镇址西迁90公里,与建材局石棉矿同驻一地。茫崖镇是甘青新三角地带的交通枢纽和古丝绸南路羌中道要塞。经过二十多年发展,城镇建设初具规模,已成为以石棉工业为主的边陲重镇。

1979年后,石油勘探的重心转向花土沟油田和尕斯湖油田,花土沟成为青海石油管理局生产、生活基地。1984年4月,经海西州人民政府批准,设立花土沟镇。6月,恢复茫崖工委和茫崖行委建制。1986年10月,茫崖工行委及所属行政事业单位搬迁花土沟镇。随着石油工业及地方各项事业的发展,花土沟镇已建成以石油工业为主的新兴工业城镇,成为茫崖行政区政治、经济、文化中心。

老茫崖位于花土沟镇东100公里处,青新公路从腹地通过。茶茫公路、敦茫公路、格茫公路在这里交汇。

(一)街道“帐篷城”建于茫崖湖畔,除盐湖为草滩沼泽地外,其余全是戈壁沙滩,总占地面积230万平方米。“城市”中央形成天然广场。西南角建有铁皮、木架装配的职工礼堂一座,可容纳观众740余人,有一座可容纳观众7002人的地下礼堂和两个露天篮球场、一个排球场。广场四周排列整齐的帐房,成街成巷,向西是一条2公里的街道。

(二)建筑物/公共建筑物/20世纪50年代,老茫崖的房舍主要是棉帐篷和帆布单帐篷房屋。在当时惟一的2公里街道路北由东向西建有商业、邮电、书店、银行、党政机关、广播站、石油勘探局、石油医院门诊部、民警队、气象站等;路南座落着石油勘探局所属的中心试验室、地球物理测井总站、地质处、基建工程处、钻井处、器材库、管子站等单位。向南延伸的马路两旁,建有粮食供应站、石油公司、建设银行、水文队、机电总厂等单位;向东有交通管理站、运输站、公路养护段、石油运输处、机修厂、汽车修理厂等单位

等到了这,果断飞无人机侦查一下。

帐篷的痕迹果然不好保留,如果站在地面看可能都不会意识到这里存在过一个3万人的帐篷城。这里没什么必要实地去拍了,继续出发。

当沙漠遇上雅丹

继续沿着G315往冷湖前进,途径一小片沙漠,挺多人在这里拍照。

由于在冷湖拍了太多照片,也有很多经历值得说。今天的游记的上半部分就要到此为止了。在冷湖的经历请见下篇文章。
