I was moved by the beauty of Duku Highway and I want to tell you the truth from the bottom of my heart...

I'm back from playing on Duku Highway I want to say this journey is really great. The legendary "four seasons in one day" is really worthy of its reputation😭 The Internet didn’t lie to me, the Duku Highway is really beautiful😭 Next, I will share my experience of this trip with you, hoping it will be helpful to you. - 🚗The Duku Highway is 561 kilometers long, and each section has its own unique scenery and charm. -Northern section: Dushanzi Grand Canyon - Qiaoerma, total length is about 250km, driving time is 5 hours -Middle section: Qiaoerma - Nalati Grassland - Bayinbuluke, a total of about 60km, 1.5h driving -Southern section: Bayinbuluke-Kuqa, total length is about 250km, driving time is 5 hours - 2. There are mobile speed meters throughout the route, with speed limits between 40 and 60 kilometers. 3. The whole journey is free, and a toll of 20 is required to reach Yanshuigou in Kuche. 4. The southern section is dominated by Gobi rock landforms, while the northern section is the section with the richest Duku landscape, so it will be more congested. 5. The section from Bayinbuluke to Kuqa is the highlight. Those who drive by themselves should not miss it. 6. Only vehicles with 7 seats or less can pass through, and the maximum height of RVs is 4 meters 7. The signal is not very good in many places. It is recommended to download offline maps in advance. 8. There are 33 parking spots along the way. If you want to stop and enjoy the scenery, you should pay attention to the parking spots. 9. If you encounter thin ice, water stains, cattle and sheep while driving, you must pay attention to the route and slow down. 10. Food supply stations: Dushanzi, Qiaoerma, Bayinbuluke, Kuche 11. In terms of toilets, there are plenty of toilets in the north section, but relatively few in the middle and south sections. - ⛽Gas station Dushanzi Grand Canyon, Qiaoerma, Nalati, Gongnaisi, Bayinbuluke, Kehekelike, Kuche (all on the map) Note: It is recommended to fill up the gas tank in advance, as many gas stations are closed at night. - 📸Attractions along the way 📍Nalati Grassland: small bridges, flowing water, cattle and sheep on the grassland, it feels like walking into a fairy tale world 📍Sailimu Lake: Encounter the summer romance of The Wizard of Oz 📍Kurdenin: The same fairytale wooden house as in "Heidi and Grandpa" 📍Dushanzi Grand Canyon: Duku Secret Land is a canyon with a long history and wonders, worth seeing
