This road, stringing together the miracles of the four seasons, is Xinjiang's Duku Highway

🌟 Imagine a road that strings together the miracles of the four seasons, this is Xinjiang's Duku Highway, a dream paradise for self-drivers! 🚗✨ As a dazzling pearl among China's top ten self-driving routes, the Duku Highway is not just a road; it is an ode to heroes, an eternal tribute to the 168 souls who built it 🌹. A magnificent scroll 562 kilometers long, laid out over ten years, each inch a testament to nature and courage. 🔥 Northern section: From Dushanzi to Nalati, 215 kilometers of continuous surprises! From the awe-inspiring start at the Dushanzi Grand Canyon, to the three-thousand-feet drop of the Heavenly Waterfall, to the silent tribute at the Qiaolma Martyrs' Cemetery, and finally, getting lost in the endless greenery of Tangbula and the Nalati Grassland. 🏞️ Fill up the tank, bring your mood, and set off! ⛽ 🌄 Middle section: Short but exquisite, 65 kilometers between Nalati and Bayinbuluke, as if crossing the boundary between two worlds. Endless grasslands under the blue sky, flocks of cattle and sheep, a beauty that refreshes the soul. 🐑 🌌 Southern section: From Bayinbuluke to Kuqa, a 270-kilometer journey, a feast of colors and landforms. The Dragon Pools, large and small, are like emeralds inlaid, and the Kuqa Grand Canyon holds the secrets of the Earth. Don't forget, at the small toll station at the southern end, just 20 yuan buys you a ticket to the wonders. 💰 ⏰ Important reminder! The Duku Highway is not a secret garden open all year round~ Approximately from June to mid-October, it opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, with entry but no exit, all depending on the weather, so remember to follow the official news from Dushanzi Traffic. ☀️💨 🚘 Vehicle tips: Exclusively for small cars, the moment to test your driving skills has arrived! Sharp turns, steep slopes, the dance of two-way traffic, safety first, hold steady, we can win! 👀 🚗 Pre-departure ritual: Full vehicle check, full gas tank, plenty of snacks and drinks, just in case. 🥤 📸 Photography tips: With beautiful scenery ahead, please park civilly, watch out for falling rocks and cliffs, and don't let your selfie turn into a live broadcast of danger. 📸 🌈 Lastly, the weather on the Duku Highway changes faster than a child's face, don't panic if you encounter traffic control, the traffic police are always online to protect your journey. 🚨
