Duku Highway, Xinjiang | The most beautiful highway in China.

The scenery on the road is in my heart ||| Duku Highway is 561 km long, with cliffs, high mountains and snow peaks, grasslands in the clouds, and nomadic customs. This is the Duku Highway that spans the mountains and crosses the deep mountains and valleys. Every time I go on the road, I feel the wind and the wind; every time I pass by, I feel exhausted but I feel the road. Duku Highway, the Dushanzi-Kuche section of National Highway 217, is the southern section of National Highway 217 connecting the north and south of Xinjiang, and is also known as Tianshan Highway because it crosses the Tianshan Mountains. It starts from Dushanzi District, Karamay City, North Xinjiang in the north, and ends in Kuche City, Aksu Prefecture in the south. Half of the road section is above 2,000 meters above sea level, and the highest point of Tielimaiti Daban is above 3,400 meters above sea level. Duku Highway is a veritable scenic avenue, from the starting point of Dushanzi Grand Canyon, to the Narati and Bayinbuluke grasslands along the way, and finally to the mysterious Grand Canyon of Kuche Tianshan. Affected by natural factors such as snowfall and icing in the Tianshan Mountains in winter, traffic control is generally implemented from early November to May and June of the following year, and the closure period is as long as eight months. We walked from Qiaerma to Dushanzi, which belongs to the northern section of Duku Highway. The whole journey is downhill and all turns. For people like me who want to sleep when they get in the car, I can't bear to sleep all the way, it's really beautiful. It is recommended to understand the historical background of this road before self-driving. Duku Highway was built under the historical background of the 828 order and the climax of national war preparations. The highway built with simple tools in such an environment is of great historical significance. Be sure to arrange time to walk this road during the day, otherwise it would be a pity. We walked in the afternoon. I didn't estimate the time well, and it was dark later. It was dangerous when it was dark. We stayed overnight from Baili Gallery to Kuitun.
