4K Driving tour of Xinjiang China, on the famous Duku Highway, also known as China National Highway G217, along tianshan mountains from Dushanzi Grand Canyon to Tangbula grassland scenic area in Ili Prefecture.
The Duku Highway is about 561 kilometers long, connecting the northern and southern Xinjiang, spanning lofty mountains, crossing deep mountains and canyons, and connecting many ethnic minority areas. Its connection has shortened the distance between northern and southern Xinjiang by nearly half from the original 1,000 kilometers, which can be regarded as a monument in the history of China's highway construction. One-fifth of the Duku Highway is in the permafrost layer of high mountains, and one-third is a cliff. It spans nearly ten major rivers in the Tianshan Mountains, and climbs four snow-capped mountains that are covered with snow all year round. It is extremely difficult to drive. The scenery along the way here can only be described as magical. From the ancient Qiuci Kingdom to the northeast along the National Highway 217, the Duku Highway begins to peel off its mystery layer by layer. Along the way, you can enjoy the fairy lake in Tangbula, the fiery Kizilia mountain landscape, the steep canyon scenery, the lush Tianshan Mountains, the vast grasslands and the beautiful nomadic style.
