Xinjiang scenic spot is open-can we go now? Dooku Tour Roadmap and Scenic Spot Recommendation

Now the scenic spots in Xinjiang have begun to fully resume tourism, that is to say, you can travel to Xinjiang. Bian Xiao recommends you to go to Duku Road in Xinjiang, because this road is open to 10 in June and closed at other times.

Is it open? -Can we go now?

Open for fun.

On September 2nd, outdoor scenic spots in Xinjiang were fully opened, and tourism across provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) resumed. At present, the phased effect of epidemic prevention and control in Xinjiang has been further consolidated, and it has entered the stage of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, and the normal production and living order has been fully restored. Since September 2, all outdoor tourist attractions (spots) in the autonomous region have been opened to tourists, and tourism across provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) has resumed.

Tourism-related enterprises such as scenic spots and travel agencies will strengthen the management of scenic spots and do a good job in public health and epidemic prevention to ensure the safety, order and opening of scenic spots in strict accordance with the requirements of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases and the Guide to Prevention and Control Measures for the Restoration and Opening of Tourist Attractions.

The most convenient way to play in Xinjiang is to drive by car and drive on steep and beautiful roads. Here you can not only drive to air grassland like a nomad, but also experience the mystery of crossing the Asian continent like an ancient explorer.

Duku highway

Duku Highway, a monument in the history of highway construction, is like a giant dragon lying across the Tianshan Mountains. It crosses the vast Tianshan Mountains and four Osaka (passes) with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. One day you can experience spring, summer, autumn and winter, and see the typical topography of Xinjiang and the customs of Uygur, Mongolian and Kazak.

Now, except for some roads being renovated, they are basically paved roads. The speed limit of most sections is 40 kilometers per hour, and buses with more than 7 seats are not allowed to enter. Pay attention to falling rocks and dark ice along the way, and slow down in continuous corners, especially in rainy days. Roads are prone to mudslides, water damage and landslides.

1. Dushanzi area

Dushanzi was once a desolate Gobi. Dushanzi City is very small, and the streets are empty. Because it is close to Tianshan Mountain, it is cooler in summer. Mud volcano (Freedom) is located in the southwest of the city 1 km. You can climb to the top of the mountain on foot, about 5 kilometers round trip, which takes about 1 hour. If you are confident enough about your vehicle performance and driving skills, you can also drive along a full-width gravel road. Dushanzi Oilfield along the way is located where the first oil well 1909 in Xinjiang was drilled. The top of the mountain overlooks the whole Dushanzi City.

Driving: It's always uphill from Dushanzi. After about 30 kilometers, you will enter the spectacular Kuitun River Grand Canyon. With the deepening of the journey, the ravines on both sides of the road gradually become high and deep, and colorful exposed rocks soar into the sky. There are such dazzling landscapes within dozens of kilometers of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang.

2. Jorma

Zhuo Ma, a small town formed in the era of highway construction, is located at the intersection of Duku Highway and Joey Highway, with three forks leading to Kuqa, Dushanzi and Yili respectively. There are simple restaurants and places to stay in the town, where you can refuel and stop to have a rest.

Zhuo Ma to Swan Lake180km. After paving the road, it takes 4 hours to walk around the mountain road. It is 20 kilometers away from Zhuomayo18, passing through the intersection of G2 17 and G2 18, and it is only 7 kilometers from there to Nalati Grassland. This section of the road is all alpine meadows. Groups of cattle and sheep can be seen from time to time on the hillside.

3. Bayinbuluke Grassland (Swan Lake)

Babuluke is Mongolian, which means "rich spring water". Thousands of small springs spread all over the hinterland of the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, blending with the surrounding snow-capped mountains, forming the mother river of Bazhou-Kaidu River. Rivers nourish beautiful grasslands, form large or small wetlands and attract a large number of birds. Bayinbuluke grassland has the first swan nature reserve in China: Swan Lake (the scenic spot is open from mid-April to late June 10). It is made up of many small lakes connected in series. There are 120 kinds of birds here, among which the most precious is the wild swan population, as well as rare birds such as black stork, golden eagle and white-shouldered eagle.

June is the best time for bird watching. At that time, a large group of swans, geese and seagulls will come from South Asia, even the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, where they will nest and hatch their eggs. Please don't disturb them when you visit. June to August is the peak season for tourism. The weather is cool, the grass is rich and the horizon is almost green. Every year from the fourth day to the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Bayinbuluke Town, where Swan Lake is located, holds the annual grassland festival Nadam and Donggui Art Festival. There are horse racing, wrestling, sheep racing, yak racing and other activities, as well as traditional performances such as national costumes and national songs and dances.

There is also a folk culture village in Turkhuth. In addition to showing the folk customs of Turku tribe, there are live performances in the east, which are classified as themes and the scenes are grand. You don't have to enter the scenic spot. The grassland scenery along the highway is equally beautiful. There is a 5 km wetland landscape from Babbrook Town to Jorma. Compared with a closed lake, it is free and open.

4. Big and small dragon pools

Longtan and Xiaolongchi are two alpine lakes in the depths of Tianshan Mountain, which were formed by melting snow and ice in Tianshan Mountain. The waters are vast and crystal clear. Longtan has a large area and beautiful water. Tang Xuanzang passed through Longtan when he went west to learn the scriptures, which was described in his "The Western Regions of Datang". The two lakes are about 4 kilometers apart, and both are beside G2 17 National Highway. You can drop by.

5. The mysterious Tianshan Grand Canyon

The entrance to the mysterious Tianshan Grand Canyon is located next to G2 17 National Highway. The canyon is about 5.5 kilometers long, and a huge red mountain group was formed in the Mesozoic Cretaceous period10.40 billion years ago. After hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain and flood erosion, the stone walls on both sides have been transformed into various shapes, exquisite, unique and lifelike. Walking in, the huge red sand wall seems to be coming at once. If you want to push this "pressure" to the extreme, you can try to see the branches of Furious Valley and Snake Valley.

The only artificial masterpiece in the canyon is Ai Grottoes. It is located at the mouth of the valley about 1.5 km, carved on a high cliff, and the remaining murals, a large number of Chinese inscriptions and even the names of patrons are clearly visible. Because of the high position, it is not convenient to climb. Compared with other grottoes in the same period, it is quite well preserved here. Unfortunately, it is not open at ordinary times, so we can only look up at the bottom of the valley. We can only take the canyon, about 3 hours.

It is about 70 kilometers from the mysterious Grand Canyon in Tianshan Mountain to Kuqa, with paved roads, and the driving time is 1.5 hours. The canyons along the way are also beautiful. Hongshan Stone Forest and Ya Dan are desolate and magnificent. On the way, you will see a road sign, and you can take a detour of 6 kilometers to see the Gaha beacon tower in Kizil. This seemingly inconspicuous loess building is the oldest and best-preserved beacon tower on the Silk Road. It was built during the reign of Xuan Di and has stood on the riverbed for nearly two thousand years. The current residual height is about 13.5 meters, and there are wooden components at the top.

6. Kuqa

Kuqa was known when it was called Kuqa. Kuqa, like a sponge, absorbed the factors of civilization from all directions and reached its peak in the history of western civilization. It's worth staying here for a day. Ku ancient city still retains a strong Uighur style. Kuqa Mosque is the largest mosque in Kuqa, second only to Aiteger Mosque in Kashgar, with a history of more than 500 years. There is also an ancient religious court in the hospital, which is the only one left in Xinjiang at present. From the back porch here, you can see a fairly old Kuqa residence.

Not far away, Kuqa Palace is the former residence of Uti Mehsud, the last Kuqa Wang Da. The flowers and pomegranate trees he planted are still full of vitality to welcome tourists. Here, you can learn about the history of the 12th Kuqa King. Tens of thousands of cultural relics were exhibited in the Qiuci Museum (formerly Kuqa County Museum) in the palace.

Subashi Buddhist Temple Site (ticket 25 yuan), located 26 kilometers northeast of Kuqa County, was founded in Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in Sui and Tang Dynasties. This used to be the royal temple of Qiuci. At present, less than a quarter of the West Temple is open for visit, among which rela
