Exploring the Backbone of the Tianshan Mountains:2026 Duku Highway Group Tour Complete Guide ✨
🚗 [Why Choose a Group Tour for the Duku Highway?]
The Duku Highway is known as “China’s most beautiful highway,” with 561 kilometers connecting the grandeur of northern Xinjiang and the vastness of southern Xinjiang, with canyons, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and Gobi landscapes alternating along the way. However, the road conditions on this highway are complex. It is recommended to be open from June to October each year, and is frequently subject to temporary traffic controls due to weather. For ordinary tourists, self-driving tours face problems such as high car rental costs, unfamiliar road conditions, and tight accommodation availability, while group tours can avoid risks through professional teams, saving effort and worry.

Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency Tourism Registration Consultation Center Manager Wang Fei 18095969599
Mr. Mei from Shanghai and his family of 5 customized an 8-day northern Xinjiang in-depth tour: “The car was a 7-seat business vehicle within three years old. Driver Li had been driving the Duku Highway for 8 years – stable cornering and detailed commentary. We experienced horse riding at Nalati Grassland, the Bayanbulak sunset, and the Kanas morning mist. The accommodation was even better than what self-driving tourists could book!”
Ms. Lin from Guangzhou joined the 6-day southern Xinjiang tour:“The handicraft shops in Kashgar Old City were visited voluntarily. The guide reminded us not to buy ‘cheap jade’ from roadside stalls. When taking photos at Baisha Lake, the driver even helped us carry the tripod. The service was so thoughtful!”
