Brief introduction of Duku highway

Business?Hours?

Affected by natural factors, such as winter snow and ice in Tianshan mountain area, it will be closed for a period of time every year. As for the opening hours, they are not fixed every year because of the weather changes. The opening hours are from the beginning of June to the end of September.

Speed limit

One-third of the road is still on the cliff, and one-fifth of the road is underground in alpine permafrost. Although the conditions may sound harsh, the blocked roads are paved all the way and the road conditions are good. Moreover, it is stipulated here that only vehicles with less than 7 seats can drive together, the whole speed is 40-60km/h, and the camera cannot exceed 40 km/h.

Refueling supply

Duku Highway has four important nodes: Dushanzi, Zhuo Ma, Bayinbuluke and Kuche. Vehicle refueling or food replenishment are basically completed in these places. There are also two gas stations in Nalati Town and Gongnaisi Forest Farm in the middle section of Duku Highway, and there is also a 1 gas station in Ketaikelike near the mysterious Grand Canyon in Tianshan Mountain.

During the period of opening to traffic, there may be mudslides, so we should pay attention to the weather forecast and the latest road conditions in advance. You can check it at Dushanzi Branch of Kuitun Highway Administration Bureau.

Travel tips

Nalati intersection is the intersection of G2 17 and G2 18, which can divide Duku Highway into south section and north section. From Dushanzi to Nalati intersection via Zhuo Ma, it is the northern section. Nalati intersection passes Bayinbuluke to Kuqa as the south section.

Generally speaking, it's a two-or three-day play. As for accommodation, you can choose to live in Nalati town or Bayinbuluke town. The accommodation conditions in these two places are not bad. It is not recommended that you take a bus or drive to Dooku Highway for accommodation and camping.

Tour route: Kuqa-Mysterious Grand Canyon in Tianshan Mountain-Big and Small Longchi-Tielimaitidaban-Bayinbuluke Grassland-Gongnaisi National Forest Park-Nalati Grassland-Jorma-Gendaban in Hasl-Dushanzi Grand Canyon-Dushanzi.

If you want to take the classic Northern Xinjiang Ring Road, it is recommended to choose the northern section of Nalati-Dushanzi. If you want to travel to southern Xinjiang, you can choose the southern section of Bayinbuluke-Kuqa. If you have more time, you can take the whole line.

What are the beautiful scenery along Dooku?

Dushanzi Grand Canyon

Starting from Dushanzi and crossing the blocked road from north to south, the first thing you see is the Duzishan Grand Canyon. The valley walls are steep, the rocks are rugged, the dangers are endless, and the twists and turns are ups and downs. The mighty words you can imagine can basically be described here.

Qiaoerma martyr cemetery

The Dooku Highway will now become a magical road, paved with blood and sweat by predecessors. Therefore, this is a heroic road. When you go to Daqiao Erma, you can visit the Memorial Hall of Martyrs Cemetery. Some former veterans volunteered to explain the construction process of Duku Highway.

Nanati prairie

Along the way, you may not know whether there are many grasslands in Yili, but Nalati grassland is absolutely the most beautiful. Nalati grassland, with a relatively low altitude, is a transversely extending prairie in Tianshan Canyon. Because of its unique geographical location, it is bumpy and melodious, or at the top of the mountain, or on the hillside, or in the valley, and it forms a grassland symphony with forests and streams.

Gongnaisi Forest Park

Mountain grassland and valley grassland coexist, with complete pastures in spring, summer, autumn and winter, rivers and lakes, wild fruits and flowers, and exotic animals. Looking at Gongnaisi, it is a charming place.

Hashir Gendaban

Gendaban, Hasl, which is nearly 3400 meters above sea level, is an important node of Dooku Highway. After crossing Daban, L, you will reach the core section of Duku Highway, which is also the most difficult and dangerous section.

bayinbuluke

All the way on Duku Highway is over mountains, but when you get to Bayinbuluke, you can experience a Ma Pingchuan. The road here leads straight to the distance without twists and turns. What you see by the roadside is not dense forests, but vast grasslands and Liu E, which is also the location of the Yellow River and Swan Lake.

Li Tie mai ti da ban

After leaving Bayinbuluke, we started to climb the mountain and went to Tielimaitiban, the highest highway.

Daxiaolongchi

Shortly after going down the mountain, we arrived in Dragon Pond, the last scenic spot on the Duku Highway. You can see two alpine lakes, surrounded by mountains and forests, resting in the depths of Tianshan Mountain.

Kezilia

After going down the mountain from the Dragon Pool, you will gradually feel that you are in southern Xinjiang. I can't see the forest meadow, but my eyes are full of flaming Ya Dan landforms. In Uyghur, it is called "Kyzilia", which means Red Cliff.

Tianshan mysterious grand canyon

In addition to the fiery Ya Dan landform, you can also see the strange stones standing on both sides of the highway, which is quite charming in the American Antelope Valley. And this scenic spot is the mysterious Kuqa Grand Canyon.

The above is a detailed introduction to Kuqa Highway. These scenic spots are very spectacular. You can pay attention to them when you go to play. If you want to visit Dooku Highway, you must look at the time. After all, it's not always open. Due to the weather, this expressway will be temporarily closed. Pay attention to the time when you plan to play. Even if you play during open hours, you should pay attention. After all, this route is rather rugged, so you must pay attention to safety when driving.
