Duku Highway, that is, the Dushanzi to Kuqa section of G217 line, starts from Dushanzi District of Karamay City in the north and connects to Kuqa City in Aksu Prefecture in the south. It runs through the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, with a total length of 561 kilometers. Because it spans lofty mountains, crosses deep river valleys, and connects many ethnic minority areas, it was once selected as a landscape avenue running through the ridge of the Tianshan Mountains by China National Geographic. land.

Along the way, the road spirals up with steep cliffs. The mountain on the left is the rushing river, the hillside on the right is the grassland, half is Frozen and half is The Wizard of Oz.

From the eroded ravines of Dushanzi to the mysterious reddish-brown canyon, its construction took 10 years, shortening the once long loop of 1,000 kilometers to more than 560 kilometers from north to south.

Hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain erosion and flash floods have been called the Chinese version of Antelope Valley by photography enthusiasts. The huge mountain is even more mysterious under the sunlight.

It is definitely the most extreme off-road route in Xinjiang to cross the northern and southern Xinjiang and connect to the top scenery in the world!Editor/Ma Xue
