I. Key Highlights of the Route: Why Choose a One-Day Tour of the Northern Section of the Duku Highway?
As the精华段 (essence section) of Xinjiang’s “Heroic Road,” the northern section of the Duku Highway is renowned for its magical scenery of “four seasons in one day and different weather every ten miles.” After fully opening in June 2026, this 185-kilometer scenic route has become a popular summer destination.
[Three Major Reasons for Popularity]

Historical Significance:The Qiaoerma Martyrs Cemetery is the resting place of 168 road-building heroes. The sacrifice stories engraved on the stone monuments add profound depth to the magnificent scenery.
Self-Drive Experience:Vehicles with fewer than 7 seats are permitted. With 12 scenic overlooks and 3 service areas along the way, you can stop for photos anytime. Even novice drivers can handle this “light adventure.”
