219 Xinjiang Tour -13: Zuimei Duku Highway, Gaofan Crossing Snow Mountain

12th day trip: Karamay-Nalati (395.6km north of Duku Highway)

? Some people say: "Tibet and Xinjiang are the paradise for self-driving. It is far enough, challenging and unparalleled in the world to go to these two places. Being able to complete such a trip is also a great achievement in life. "

? In my opinion, if a man wants to have a dream and a wild taste, he must take a heavy step. Either work and study hard, or enjoy life happily, or travel freely like the wind. No matter whether you are rich or poor, your body and soul will always be on the road.

? Because of this, I have always been proud of my self-driving trip to Tibet and the most beautiful scenery on the 318 and Qinghai-Tibet lines. I set my next goal for myself, that is, I must take a walk in this life, which is comparable to 318, "the most beautiful highway in China"-Duku Highway.

? Duku Highway is a 561-kilometer highway from Dushanzi in northern Xinjiang to Kuqa in southern Xinjiang. It runs through the Tianshan Ridge and connects northern Xinjiang. It was selected as a landscape avenue running through the Tianshan Ridge by chinese national geography, which is a masterpiece and a magnificent epic in the history of highway construction.

? Today, my dream finally came true, and the magnificent and amazing journey officially set off.

With Nalati as the boundary, Duku Highway is divided into two parts: the northern section and the southern section. Most motorists only take the northern section (the highest elevation of the highway is 3,74 meters) and the highest elevation of the southern section is more than 3,5 meters).

? Our plan is to walk the whole course twice. Today, the northern section of Duku Highway will be completed.

? We drove more than 1 kilometers from Karamay to Dushanzi, the starting point of Duku Highway.

? From then on, we began to climb mountains and mountains, step over Daban, which is covered with snow all year round, and reach Nalati, air grassland.

? This is a steep mountain road with thousands of ditches and valleys. One third of the road is surrounded by cliffs, and one fifth of the road is under the alpine permafrost. Undoubtedly, the self-driving difficulty of Duku Highway can be described as five stars.

? While enjoying the speed and passion, we face the impact and shock of different feelings such as wildness, romance, coziness, tenderness and tenacity on the soul;

? The beautiful scenery outside the window is updated in real time, and our visual nerves are constantly refreshed.

? Red rocky mountains, fragrant wildflowers and towering cedar trees quietly left and came to me.

? Until we walked into the chilly snow, we really experienced the magic of "different days in ten miles, four seasons in a day" and the stimulation of "Seven In the snow in Tianshan Mountain".

? On the snowy mountain, my body felt a little altitude sickness, and I felt dizzy, chest tightness and shortness of breath, but I still insisted on getting off the bus to take pictures for my companions and at the same time to remember myself ... < P > If you ask me what was the biggest gain of this trip?

? I think the answer is:

I have gained courage from thrilling;

I have gained caution from walking slowly;

We have gained our vision from the mountains:

We have gained our responsibility from the change of time and space ...

This is a different kind of single-depot highway, and we have a different kind of self-driving trip.
