The road is closed for seven months a year. Once it is opened, it will become a world-class scenic corridor, which is the single-depot highway.
The reason why the long-awaited Duku Highway is so "melodramatic" naturally has its capital and reason: this road is located in the middle of Tianshan Mountain, with a north-south trend, starting from Dushanzi, the "oil city" in the north and Kuqa, an ancient country in Kucha in the south, with a total length of 561 kilometers, and it takes at least 12 hours to drive the whole journey.
The Duku Highway, which enjoys the "most beautiful highway" in China, has never been disappointing: it is like a giant dragon lying on the Tianshan Mountains, and more than half of the sections pass through high mountains and deep valleys. From the hot summer sun in Dushanzi to the snowy winter at the top of the mountain, you can feel that "there are four seasons in a day, and there are different days in ten miles".
according to the latest news, on June 3rd, Duku Highway, which is known as "the most beautiful highway in China", was opened to traffic in Yadan landform scenic spot in Kuqa City, Xinjiang. On the same day, dozens of go on road trip motorcade composed of Dongfeng Citroen Tianyi Family assembled at Duku Base Camp in dushanzi area, Karamay, and prepared to go to Duku Highway. The motorcade will cross the most dangerous and beautiful and varied section of the road. It aims to further demonstrate the comfortable driving experience brought by Tianyi and Dongfeng Citroen products to self-driving enthusiasts in different road conditions.
After starting from Dushanzi and crossing the "Gate of Tianshan Mountain" at the starting point, Duku Highway began to strip away its mystery layer by layer. When I first entered the independent library, there was almost no vegetation on the surface of the surrounding mountains, which was the hard and bright stone mountain. Between the mountains and streams, choppy rivers pass by. On the one hand, it is a steep Gobi mountain, and on the other hand, it is a winding and swift river. Only a beautiful Citroen Tianyi army shuttles through it, and the distinctive legal system features are intertwined with the Gobi scenery.
Climb along Panshan Highway, pass the stone tablet of "Watching Tianshan Mountain" and reach the most steep "Tiger Mouth" of Duku Highway. Of course, drivers should always pay attention to the road conditions in the distance, always be alert to vehicles and pedestrians crossing the road, and there are also groups of cattle, sheep and horses occasionally occupying the road, adding some different "fun" to driving.
spiral all the way up the Panshan Highway, and then reach Gendaban, Hashel, the highest place in the whole journey, where there is snow that does not melt all the year round. Blue sky, continuous snow-capped mountains and pleasant scenery.
The unique highway can make people experience the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is not groundless, but it hides the beautiful scenery of paradise behind the precipitous. Maybe just after turning a corner, a fairyland on earth will appear in front of you. After crossing the Tianshan Mountains to Jorma, it will be a scene of full of green. Glaciers, lakes, grasslands and rivers are scattered around, which is very beautiful. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the brilliant beauty, like refreshing coolness, eliminates your fatigue in an instant, leaving only flowers.
Continue about 81km to the intersection of Duku Highway and National Highway 218, and 21km to the west to reach Nalati Grassland Scenic Area. Nalati grassland has been a famous pastoral valley, mountain peaks, deep canyons and forests since ancient times. Roast whole sheep, barbecue, pilaf, mixed noodles, baked buns, koumiss and other grassland specialties make people drool.
Zhou Xiaoguo, president of Huangshan go on road trip Association, keeps recording the scenery along the way. He said that after returning to Duku Highway along National Highway 218, he continued to cross Laldun Daban and arrived at Bayinbuluke Scenic Area. Bayinbuluke grassland not only has beautiful lakes, but also the Kaidu River with "nine bends and eighteen bends", dancing gracefully to the distance, just like elegant swans dancing. Especially in the evening, you can enjoy the wonders of the grassland with "nine suns" by watching the sunset in the nine bends and eighteen bends.
when driving into the mountainside, it snowed heavily and suddenly felt cold, as if it had entered the severe winter. Over the last Daban (Tielimaiti Daban), you will see the size of the Dragon Pool, which is as quiet as jade, embedded in the mountainside surrounded by snow peaks, clear and bright, reflecting spruce, which can only be described as a fairyland.
Jiang Xiaoliang, president of Hangzhou go on road trip Association, who has traveled to and from Duku Highway for many times, said that at the southern end of Duku Highway, you can enjoy the magnificent Kizilia mountain landscape area, where the Hongshan Stone Forest is magnificent. Not only that, the scenic spot of the mysterious Grand Canyon in Tianshan Mountain nearby also shocked tourists with its deep and breathtaking winding path. The mysterious Grand Canyon in Tianshan Mountain burns like a flame, and the whole canyon is like a megatron mountain. The 99-bent dragon lies on the mountain, which is mysterious and unpredictable.
Snow-capped mountains, canyons, rivers, grasslands, wetlands and other diverse landscapes are dizzying. As the light changes, the color and saturation of the scenery also change, so even if you walk through it several times, you will have different sensory experiences, which is the charm of the single-depot highway. At the same time, one-third of Duku Highway is cliff, and one-fifth of the section is in alpine permafrost, which spans nearly ten major rivers in Tianshan Mountain and four ice banks covered with snow all year round. Its driving difficulty can be imagined.
However, Dongfeng Citroen Tianyi C5 is equipped with two engines of 1.6T/1.8T, the maximum power of which is 171 HP and 211 HP respectively, and the transmission system is matched with 6AT/8AT gearbox respectively. The powerful power output makes Tianyi C5 comfortable on the uphill section of mountain road. Although this car is still hung by the rear torsion beam, the solidity of the chassis of the French car is far beyond that of the general model. The "magic carpet suspension" is not a hollow reputation, and stability is everything. In terms of safety, French cars have always been well-known, and the front and rear anti-collision beams are made of aluminum alloy, which is very kind.
It is worth mentioning that this month, Dongfeng Citroen will launch Tianyi C5? AIRCORSS? 411THP flagship model, the new car and the Tianyi 411THP exclusive model currently on sale have been significantly upgraded in terms of intelligent interconnection, interior configuration and ADAS driver assistance system.
