Detailed road map of Duku Highway
I hope it can help friends in need.
Duku Highway is a part of G217 National Highway, starting from Dushanzi K553 and ending at Kuqa K189, with a total length of 561 kilometers.
Duku Highway has three important nodes: one is Jorma, the other is Nalati intersection, and the third is Bayinbuluke.
Nalati intersection is the intersection of G217 and G218, which can divide Duku Highway into south section and north section. From Dushanzi to Nalati intersection via Jorma, it is the northern section. Nalati intersection passes Bayinbuluke to Kuqa as the south section. 2.

Walking around northern Xinjiang at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, whether for a few days or a few months, under the vast sky, the Tianshan Mountains in the field of vision always go hand in hand, especially the snowy peaks at the top of the mountain, such as the dancing of silver snakes, are radiant. Tianshan Mountain is not only the main vein of Xinjiang's geographical structure, but also the "spine" of Xinjiang's civilization. In order to communicate economically and culturally between northern and southern Xinjiang, we must overcome this natural barrier. 4. Construction history of Duku Highway
National Highway 217, which was opened to traffic in 198s, runs through the hinterland of Tianshan Mountain from north to south, and the most steep section is Duku (Dushanzi-Kuche) Highway. This winding highway on the back of Tianshan Mountain is like a mountain dragon, connecting the emerging oil city (dushanzi area, Karamay City) and the ancient Kuqa (Kuqa). On the map, the highway is marked as "Duku Highway", which is usually called "Tianshan Highway" by Xinjiang people. This road is full of beautiful scenery and is a landscape painting scroll of more than 5 kilometers.
The bottom of the canyon is very flat and wide, with rivers gathering and scattering, meandering rivers and gravel scattered. Rainwater and snow collected on both sides of the valley bottom also flow slowly in the old channel of Kuitun River, forming small pools, and various minerals dissolved in the pools make these small pools colorful.
The Duku Highway Museum in Dushanzi provides a set of data, which directly illustrates the uniqueness of this road: Duku Highway starts from Dushanzi, an oil city in northern Xinjiang, in the north and ends in Kuqa, an important town in southern Xinjiang, with a total length of 562.25 kilometers; There are more than 28 kilometers of roads above 2 meters above sea level, and four Daban roads above 3 meters above sea level are connected along the road; Five large rivers in Tianshan Mountain meet with highways; There is a world-famous 1-meter snow-proof corridor and Hashel Root Tunnel at an altitude of nearly 3,4 meters.
In the autumn and winter solstice of the year and the next spring, the mountains and the hills are covered with snow, which is often white, and even avalanches come. Near Daban, there is the Hashel Root Tunnel at an altitude of 3,39 meters, which was once the highest tunnel in China. In order to prevent snow, a 1-meter corridor has been built on the highway, which can make the falling snow on the cliff fall into the deep ditch beside the highway. Overlooking from a height, it is also a scenery.
Tianshan Mountain is the water tower in Xinjiang. There are comb-like rivers on both the north and south slopes. Rivers cut down and erode along the mountain, often forming spectacular canyons. Duku Highway starts from the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain and connects with Kuitun River Grand Canyon, and ends at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain and connects with Kuche River Grand Canyon. Therefore, this beautiful scroll begins with the Grand Canyon and ends with the Grand Canyon-among many highways, such a natural "design" is unique.
