Duku Highway: A Scenic Corridor Through the Tianshan

The Duku Highway is the Dushanzi–Kuqa stretch of G217, about 561 km long, crossing the Tianshan to link northern and southern Xinjiang. Snow peaks, canyons and meadows take turns along the way, earning it a place among China's most beautiful roads. Open only June to September, it tops many road-trip wish lists.
