Xinjiang Duku Highway, the Dushanzi to Kuche section of National Highway 217, is the southern section of National Highway 217 connecting the north and south of Xinjiang, also known as the Tianshan Highway because it crosses the Tianshan Mountains.
Duku Highway is a veritable landscape avenue of Xinjiang, from the Dushanzi Grand Canyon at the starting point, to the Narathi and Bayinbrook grasslands along the way, and then to the Kuqa Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon at the end.
Affected by natural factors such as snowfall and freezing in winter in the Tianshan Mountains, traffic control is generally implemented from the beginning of November to May and June of the following year, and the closure period is as long as 8 months.
