Experience Four Seasons in One Day on Xinjiang’s Magical Duku Highway! 🌸☀️🍂❄️

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to feel spring, summer, autumn, and winter all in one day? 😲 Well, on the Duku Highway in Xinjiang, you can! This amazing road stretches 561 kilometers, winding through the towering Tianshan Mountains. 🌄

The Duku Highway connects the oil city of Karamay in northern Xinjiang to the ancient city of Kuqa in the south. As you travel along this road, you’ll see green valleys, endless prairies, and majestic mountains. Each turn brings a new surprise! 🌿⛰️

Along the way, you can visit the beautiful Nalati grasslands, watch the rivers twist and turn in Bayanbulak, and gaze at snow-capped peaks and sparkling lakes. It’s like a grand adventure through nature’s playground! 🐑🌊

Did you know? The highway was built over 10 years and finished in 1984. At the northern end, there is a special cemetery honoring 168 brave soldiers who gave their lives to build this road. They are remembered and respected by all who pass by. 🙏

Because the road gets buried under thick snow during winter, it’s only open from May to November. 🚧 When it opens, people from all over come to drive the Duku Highway. Whether you’re a travel blogger, a tourist, or just someone who loves adventure, this road offers a journey you’ll never forget! 🚗✨

So, are you ready to experience four seasons in one day? Pack your bags and let’s hit the road! 🎒🌍
