The Xinjiang government opens the Duku Highway from June to October every year. Please book your own travel time in advance. 3. When visiting a mosque, pay attention to respecting the local people's religious beliefs and customs. Do not discuss religious issues, and maintain silence when visiting the mosque for worship. 4. It is best to obtain the consent of the locals before filming them. You can communicate patiently, make friends with a smile, and not treat the locals as mere scenery in the lens. 5.

Before departure every day, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle, including checking for oil and water leaks (look for oil stains on the ground under the car), measuring tire pressure, and checking if the tire pressure is appropriate; check the condition of the engine oil (pull out the dipstick and see if the color of the oil on top is normal and if the oil level is appropriate); don't forget to check if the spare tire is intact.
