There are four important nodes: Dushanzi, Jorma, Bayinbuluke and Kuqa. Vehicle refueling and food replenishment are basically completed at these nodes (there are two gas stations in Nalati Town and Gongnaisi Forest Farm, and there is also a gas station in Ketaikelike near the mysterious Grand Canyon in Tianshan Mountain).
There are no shops, hospitals, garage, etc. On the winding mountain road, so prepare in advance according to your personal situation.

Duku Highway is an important channel connecting northern and southern Xinjiang, starting from Dushanzi and ending in Kuqa.
Nine, a road with unique travel notes, "landscape avenue running through the backbone of Tianshan Mountain", and the distant scenery is approaching, which is my life now; Life is far away now, which is the scenery in the eyes of others. Everything is the best arrangement.
Duku Highway, that is, National Highway G3 17, starts from Dushanzi in Xinjiang in the north and reaches Kuche in the south. The whole journey is only 56 1 km, but it is praised by drivers as "the most beautiful highway in China". Duku Highway crosses Tianshan Mountain, connects northern and southern Xinjiang, and crosses four Daban (Daban means a mountain surrounded by ice and snow), all the way through the four seasons. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, canyons, rivers and Ya Dan ... staged the most beautiful scenery on the road in turn.
One-third of Duku Highway is cliff, and one-fifth is in alpine permafrost.
The scenic spots along Duku Highway include Dushanzi Grand Canyon, Zhuo Ma, Tamboura Grassland, Nalati Grassland, Bayinbuluke, Dragon Pond and Kuqa Tianshan Canyon. The four sections of the route are Hasselgen, with an altitude of 3,390 meters; Tielimaiti, 3220 meters above sea level; Molegai, a rare jade, is 3200 meters above sea level; Ralton, 2700 meters above sea level.
On June 13, 2020, the Duku Highway in Xinjiang, which was frozen for half a year, was first opened, and tourists poured in. Last year, the southern section of Duku Highway had already passed once. This time I chose Nalati to go to Dushanzi.
Quarantine instructions
Entry notice of epidemic situation: Due to the epidemic situation in COVID-19, the most stringent entry inspection has been adopted in Yili.
After arriving at the checkpoint, tourists need to get off and show their ID cards, brush their faces, and show their health codes, nucleic acid test reports and double antibody test reports.
Tourists from some provinces must be persuaded to come back.
It is suggested to make a test report in Urumqi after arriving in Xinjiang, so that the scenic spots such as Yili, Kashgar and Altay will be recognized.
If you go to the monitoring point of the scenic spot, it will only be effective in the area where the scenic spot is located. Cross-regional needs to be retested. It will take a long time.
The colorful flower sea along Nalati set out yesterday and arrived at Nalati Scenic Area. It was caught in a downpour and the scenic spot was closed. Continue south to Bayinbuluke, and the return trip was blocked at the intersection of G3 17 and G3 18 for 10 hour. From 17: 30 to 03: 30, I experienced the longest waiting journey in my life.
The next morning, I left Nalati for Dushanzi at 10: 00.
The colorful sea of flowers in Nalati grassland and the wetland scenery of Gongnaisi River make up for the regret of passing by. I passed the traffic jam last night and found there was still a long queue waiting.
The misty valley is like a fairyland in the south of the Yangtze River, where "southern Xinjiang sees people and northern Xinjiang sees scenery" until Xinjiang knows the size of China and Yili knows the beauty of Xinjiang.
As the only sub-provincial autonomous prefecture in China, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture is known as "the south of the Yangtze River beyond the Great Wall". Sailimu Lake, with the last tear in the Atlantic Ocean, has the third largest lavender base in the world, Zhaosu, Karajun, King Grassland, Nalati, air grassland and Duku Highway, all of which are places of travel dreams.
I have been shopping in Yili for a long time these days and deeply felt the unique charm of Yili. As the hinterland of Eurasia, owning this wet grassland is a godsend.
Yili was named after the Ili River, which was first seen in Hanshu. Historically, it was called Yili, Yili and Yili. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yili was named. In Records of the Western Regions, Yili is a Uighur language, which means "plowing the courtyard to sweep the floor" (meaning plowing the courtyard to plant land and sweeping the alleys into ruins), meaning that Junggar will be solved, the future will be covered, and the west will always be safe.
In order to maintain the stability and unity of the western regions, the Western Han Dynasty sent Princess Xijun and Princess You Jie to personally levy Wusun Kingdom, and finally defeated the Xiongnu together.
Such a rich Ili basin has been coveted by external forces and once occupied. Fortunately, Zuo Tang Zong "carried the coffin to the west", recovered most of the land, resettled the people and cultivated the land, and became rich. Since then, the Ili region has returned to stability. Horgos became a transit point on the Silk Road connecting China and West Asia.
Blue sky, white clouds and green grass
The scenery here is unique. From Nalati to Duku Highway in the north, there is a feeling of direct bombing. The beautiful scenery came too fast.
After the rain, the unique highways, blue sky and white clouds, and the green grass for herding sheep are particularly magnificent.
White clouds are within reach, green hills are close at hand, cattle and sheep are in flocks, the wind is blowing low, yurts are dotted in the meantime, and glaciers are hanging on the top of the mountain ... I am really caught off guard and can't write poetry. Wow, I have been screaming.
Mountain view reached its peak in Gendaban, Harkjerr. The altitude also rose rapidly from1500m to 3300m.
If you walk south from Dushanzi to Duku Highway, the scenery will get better and better.
Gendaban, Hasl, on the Gendaban Duku Highway in Hasl, is the most famous, and the scenery of snow-capped mountains several kilometers before and after is also the most beautiful. It's 3390 meters above sea level, and your breathing is a little anoxic. Don't do strenuous exercise here.
The highest peak here is Mount Nai in Khabir, which belongs to the easternmost part of the western section of the North Tianshan Mountains. Mount Nai in Elaine Khabir is "mottled ribbed mountain" in Mongolian.
You can stop here for a long time, without worrying about the shutter in your hand, taking close-ups and panoramic photos, and shooting videos with delay. There is a big glacier here, and friends can skate. This is the highest place on the Duku Highway. After this scene, the winding mountain highway with nine twists and eighteen turns began to decline.
Raised his own headscarf.
The altitude of Ilima, where cattle and horses flock, has dropped from more than 3,000 meters to more than 2,000 meters. Looking back from time to time, the snow-capped mountains that were close just now have become a distant background.
This section of driving energy should be highly concentrated, and the road is steep and steep. From time to time, cattle and horses are blocked in the middle of the road. People who take wedding photos are also very hard, leaving unusual memories.
If the window is open, there will be a strong smell of cattle and horses occasionally. I heard that the quality of Yili black honey is very good, and I saw the beekeepers who put bees on the roadside shaking honey at the scene.
Xinjiang is too big, and there are too many delicious things. Especially high protein and sugar, so that tourists
Every time I enter Xinjiang, I gain three pounds.
Zhuo Ma Martyrs Monument in Kashi Valley: The photos of road expansion in those days. It is difficult to build roads. Zhuo Ma Monument, located at the intersection of Duku Highway and Joy Highway across Tianshan Mountain, is the only replenishment point of Duku Highway. It is 2300 meters above sea level.
The Duku Highway was built from 1974-1983 for 9 years, during which 168 PLA soldiers died due to avalanches, mudslides and other reasons and were buried in Zhuo Ma Martyrs Cemetery along the highway.
Judging from the historical photos, the conditions for building a single-stop highway are very difficult. It is the fearless fighting spirit of PLA soldiers that overcame the natural environment and created the stability of Yili area.
Today, this national defense highway has become a beautiful tourist highway. Everyone who walks through the Dooku Highway will stop at Jorma to remember the martyrs and cherish the present.
Chen, a 34-year-old veteran, returned to Zhuo Ma from his hometown in Liaoning to protect the souls of his comrades. Chen, 6 1 year-old, recalled the battle scenes of that year, still full of tears and excited.
The real meaning of travel is not to exercise, but to drive your soul to travel far away. Duku Highway has beautiful natural scenery and inspiring fighting spirit.
Duku Highway is not only a national defense highway, but also a patriotic education highway. There are magnificent snow-capped mountains, charming grasslands, leisurely horses and free souls. Duku Highway is glad you came.
