Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency:Comprehensive Guide to a One-Day In-Depth SUV Custom Tour Experience on the Duku Highway
🌄 [Route Highlights:A Visual Feast: Traversing Four Seasons in One Day]
The Duku Highway starts from Dushanzi District, Karamay City in the north and ends in Kuqa City, Aksu Prefecture in the south, spanning a total length of 561 kilometers and running through the Tianshan Mountains. Known for the saying, “Experience four seasons in one day and different weather every ten miles,” the highway offers views of five landscape types along the way: snow-capped mountains, grasslands, canyons, wetlands, and deserts. Recent data from July 2026 shows that SUVs account for 62% of daily traffic, making them the recommended vehicle for the journey due to their excellent passability and comfort.
The northern section (Dushanzi-Jo’erma) is famous for its steepness, featuring 120 consecutive bends and significant elevation changes, creating the spectacle of a “highway in the clouds.” The middle section (Jo’erma-Nalati) passes through the Ili River Valley, where wildflowers are in full bloom in July, and grasslands cover 95% of the area. The southern section (Nalati-Kuqa) enters the southern Xinjiang geological corridor, where the Kizilya Red Mountain Canyon and the Large and Small Dragon Pools offer unique visual impacts.
