Duku

highway

Because of my father , I went to xinjiang for the third time, and we took the second trip in Duku highway this year.

Duku highway is like a dragon running across the tianshan mountains in central China. More than half of the road passes through the mountains and deep valleys. Steep mountains, a variety of landforms enough to shock everyone's heart!

Starting from kuqa, what enters your eyes is to look straight at the gobi, a thousand miles away. There is no trace of green here, dry ground with a trace of heat！ Landform began to have ups and downs, replaced by the spread of dry crack. 

Entering the salt ditch, you will see a strange mixture of karst and yadan landforms. Mountain erosion by wind and water riddled with holes, like a huge relief gallery.

After entering tianshan mountain, the hot feeling is more intense. Here is the south slope of the tianshan mountains beautiful red layer landform most concentrated, the most spectacular place. Red cliff - the mysterious grand canyon of tianshan mountain, you are in the valley under a bright red sky. Under the hot sun, the reddish-brown peaks seemed to shoot out flames! Let your thirst for water reach its peak.

After the fire, ice and snow began to wave to you. The coolness slowly assails you. The farther north you go, the more you enter the world of ice and water. The snow capped mountains in the distance became clearer and clearer.

The mountains are getting higher and higher, almost all of them are winding paths. But the road condition is ok, as long as you don't look down the deep ditch, don't look back will not be afraid

The thirst for water leads people to stop at a small waterfall in front of the dragon pond and take photos. Along the tianshan highway northbound 120 kilometers tianshan deep, enters the big dragon pool, the small dragon pool, these are two high mountain lakes. Surrounded by mountains, the top of the white snow, do not change throughout the year. After that the green grows stronger and stronger along the way, until the eyes are full of green

Duku highway like a black huge snake along the size of the dragon pond winding to the depths of the tianshan, across the country's longest road tunnel , into the herds of cattle and sheep, rich water grass bayanbulak grassland. The vast grassland is like a huge green carpet, covering the whole land. Bayanbulak, which means "rich spring" in Mongolian, is the second largest alpine grassland in China.

Surrounded by snow mountains, grassland flat terrain, endless, rich water grass. Not only is there a paradise surrounded by snow capped mountains, there is the kaidu river with nine curves and eighteen curves, and there is the swan lake with elegance and charm.

Go ahead more than 40 kilometers to narati grassland. Narati is more green. Here the grass tall , flower flourishing, all these scenes forming a beautiful picture. The narati grassland in history was known as the deer park. Here, you can feel the wind blowing grass and see the cattle and sheep.

I took a ride on Narati grassland，you also want to do that，right?

June and July are the blooming seasons in tianshan. Many valleys by this time were shining with beautiful goldendrons and larks. It's also mushroom season, and if you're lucky, you'll find mushroom in pine forests.

Full of beauty, full of miracles, full of legends. This is a dangerous road that crosses nearly 10 major rivers of tianshan mountain. It is a magical road that flies with snow in June. 

Duku highway is not only beautiful, but also in the strange, dangerous, and bring you the strong visual impact from fire to snow and water. It makes your whole soul blend into the amazing and beautiful combination of xinjiang's deserts, gobi, grasslands, snow mountains, lakes and other landforms.You will never forget the beauty and risk along the way!
