My name is Wang Kun Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike

and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousis, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province

near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got time interested in cycling too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister ”Where are we going?"It was my

sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.

I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didnt know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize

the trip properly. Now I know that the proper way is always her way kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back I asked her

whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadnt; my sister doesnt care about details. So I told her thatthe source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look -- the kind that said she wouldnot change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, sheseemedto be excited aboutit. WhenItold her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she sait wouldbe an inereting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can changeit. Finally, I had to give in.Seveal montas before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the ibrary. We found a large atlas with good maps thatshowed detaisof worid gaphy. From the alas we could see that the Mekong River beginsinaglaciertomove quicedy It becomes rapids as it pases through deep vlleys, traveling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomesa water fall and enters wide vllys. We were both surprised to learn that half of theriverisin China. Afer it leaves China and high alitde, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm As社entersSoutheast Asia,its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where ricegrows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.

沿湄公河而下的旅程 我的名字叫王坤从高中起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想作一次伟大的自行车旅行两年前，她买了-辆昂贵的山地自行车，然后还说服我买了一辆(山地车)去年她去看望了我们的表兄弟-一在昆明读大学的刀卫和宇航。

他们是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大，湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江，在其他国家(境内)叫湄公河很快，王薇使表兄弟也对骑车旅游产生了兴趣大学毕业以后，我们终于有了机会骑自行车旅行我问我姐姐:“我们要去哪儿?”首先想到要沿湄公河从源头到终点骑车旅游的是我的姐姐。

现在她正在为我们的旅行制定计划 我很喜欢我姐姐，但是她有一个很严重的缺点她有时确实很固执尽管她对去某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚，她却坚持要自己把这次旅游安排得尽善尽美于是，我就知道这个尽善尽美的方式总是她的方式。

我不停地问她，“我们什么时候出发?什么时候回来?”我还问她是否看过地图当然她并没有看过 我的姐姐是不会考虑细节的于是，我告诉她，湄公河的源头在青海省她给了我个坚定的眼神 这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的我说，我们的旅行将从5,000多米的高地出发，这时她似乎显得很兴奋。

当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变最后，我只好让步了 在我们旅行前的几个月，王薇和我去了图书馆我们找到一本大型地图册，里面有一些世界地理的明细图。

我们从图上可以看到，湄公河发源于西藏一座山上的冰川起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷列，然后它开始快速流动它穿过深谷时就变成了急流，流经云南西部有时，这条江形成瀑布，进入宽阔的峡谷我们俩惊奇地发现这条河有- 半是在中国境内。

当流出中国，流出高地之后，湄公河就变宽了，变暖了，河水也变成了黄褐色而当它进入东南亚以后，流速减缓，河水蜿蜒缓慢地穿过低谷，流向生长稻谷的平原最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中国南海
