The Duku Highway must be included in any trip you take.

There must always be a time in life when you can take a trip on a whim. Let’s set off now and head to the Duku Highway in Xinjiang. For those who like self-driving and off-road driving, the Duku Highway is a must-go. After all, it is known as the most beautiful road in China. Along the way, you can see grasslands, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, rivers, forests, various ethnic customs, and feel different scenery and cultural atmosphere. Such a travel experience may only be experienced in beautiful Xinjiang, on the Duku Highway. [Cute] The Duku Highway, a scenic corridor that winds along the Dushanzi to Kuche section of National Highway 217, is 581 kilometers long and is open to the public for only four months each year. Generally speaking, the highway is open to traffic in late May or early June. Now is the time to make some preparations ahead of time. 🚗 Duku Highway North Section: The northern section, from Dushanzi to Tianerma and then to Nalati, is about 230 kilometers and takes about five hours to drive. Dushanzi, as the starting point of the Duku Highway, has breathtaking canyon wonders. Although it is difficult to travel along the winding mountain road, the scenery along the way is so picturesque that you will never want to leave. Middle section of Duku Highway: It stretches from Nalati to Bayinbuluke, is about 62 kilometers long, and the journey takes only about an hour and a half. Along the way, the Nalati Grassland is picturesque, with green grass and herds of cattle and sheep, and finally we arrive at Bayinbuluke Town. Duku Highway South Section: It takes five hours to drive from Bayinbuluke all the way south to Kuqa, which is about 270 kilometers long. Starting from Bayinbuluke Town and crossing Tielimaiti Pass, the plateau wetlands that were once lush with water and grass gradually lost their greenery and turned into a dry Gobi rocky landscape.
