Is Dooku Highway safe on the road? Duku Highway is a landscape highway connecting northern and southern Xinjiang, which needs to cross Tianshan Mountains. When I was walking on go on road trip in 20 17, the beauty of the scenery on the road was not a problem. Except for potholes and road sections in some sections of Tacheng boundary, the traffic experience is not very good, but it does not affect all vehicles. The road conditions in other sections were better, so go on road trip took the Dooku Highway.
1, Dooku Highway has many dangerous curves, which is an excellent driving experience for people traveling on the road;
2. Dooku Highway has beautiful scenery on both sides and should be one of the most beautiful highways in China;
3. Dooku Highway is very safe. From Kuqa to Dushanzi, you can stay and rest in Bayinbuluke Town.
Dooku Highway, where you can stay in the middle of Dooku Highway, that is, the highway from Dushanzi to Kuqa, is a part of G 2 17 (National Highway 2 17). With a total length of 540 kilometers, roughly in the middle, that is, between Nu Mountain and Huck Mountain in Borocco, it is Bayinbuluke Prairie, a famous tourist resort in Bazhou. You can stay in Bayinbuluke Town. There are many hotels and snacks with Xinjiang flavor in the town, which can satisfy your appetite. Most Muslim restaurants are run by Uighurs, which is very authentic.
We visited the Nalati grassland first, and then lived in Xinyuan. The next day, we set out from a new distance and climbed Mount Huck all the way. When we arrived at Bayinbuluke, it was already evening. We booked a hotel on the edge of town, had a rest and prepared for dinner. When I walked out of the hotel, I found that the sky was red: the afterglow of the sunset and the sunset glow were spectacular, so I quickly went back and took a picture with my camera. Then go to town to eat mutton and drink.
Bazhou is a Mongolian state and a Turkic part of the Mongols. It is the Mongolian tribe described in the movie Legend of Heroes Returning to the East. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, China moved back to the east from the Russian Don River basin and arrived in Xinjiang because the Qianlong emperor put this area under their grazing. Today, the Mongolian residents in Bazhou are descendants of those who returned to the East at that time. The shepherds here are all black-headed sheep, and the sheep seen in Altay are all big-tailed sheep. Xinjiang has a vast territory and many ethnic groups, so even herding sheep is different.
It is suggested to live in Bayinbuluke for two purposes: first, scenic tourist attractions, twists and turns, Swan Lake, quiet sea of clouds and vast grasslands; Secondly, the conditions here are better and the living facilities are excellent, so you can save your strength and prepare for climbing the mountains and enjoying the beautiful scenery the next day.
The Duku Highway from Kuqa to Dushanzi is a part of National Highway 2 17. The road crossing Tianshan Mountain is steep and beautiful. As a go on road trip enthusiast, it will be a great pity not to take the Single Reservoir Road once. It is precisely because of its steep cliffs and steep bends that it has to climb over the ice Sakamoto at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, so the scenery is infinitely good.
Detailed travel information of Duku highway travel time
The highway is open to traffic from May to 65438+ 10, and the best travel time is July and August in midsummer. This passage is extremely beautiful in summer.
Walking is not recommended in winter, because the snow on the expressway is deep in winter, and avalanches may occur at any time, especially if there are more than two osaka.
Highway information
Due to the special geographical area, winter traffic control is implemented on Duku Highway from the end of September to May of the following year. Due to the sharp bend and steep slope of mountain roads, it is forbidden to pass more than seven passenger cars, tractor semi-trailers, freight vehicles over 5t and vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals.
It is reported that after the transformation, it will be a secondary road (that is, cars can also go). With the completion of the seven-month closed construction, the second Tianshan Highway in Xinjiang, Duku Highway, was fully opened to traffic, which facilitated the traffic and tourists in northern and southern Xinjiang. On this road, tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery of five miles and ten miles on different days.
Accommodation problem
You can stop at Bayinbuluke or Nalati along the way, and the accommodation is good.
Matters needing attention
When you are in danger when playing on Duku Highway, you can call the emergency number directly with your mobile phone, and the phone will call Wusu, and the area code 0992 will call Kuitun. So be sure to remember Dushanzi's emergency number before you leave.
Data flow information
The geological and meteorological conditions of Duku Highway are really complicated. It is understood that because Duku Highway is a national highway, there are strict procedures and systems for releasing road information. The information of highway and national highway in Dushanzi, Kuitun and Wusu areas is released by Kuitun Highway Administration Bureau of Autonomous Region Communications Department.
Let's start with two photos taken on the Dooku highway:
The road twists and turns, built on the mountain. It's really a scene of "high roads into the clouds, don't look at the dangers" and "more flowing water"
Take pictures of the snow-capped mountains in the distance on the tower in the tower sightseeing place.
Fog-shrouded single reservoir highway
The sunset glow on the first day was spectacular. The next day, I left Bayinbuluke and returned to Dushanzi. However, the Dooku Highway was shrouded in mist, and I began to feel the clouds in the sky at low altitude.
When the poster rises to more than 3000 meters, it is driving in the fog, and the visibility is extremely low. I can only watch the guardrail on the roadside slowly open. In the fog on the top of the mountain, there is also the hometown of Saussurea involucrata, and the huge flower buds are amazing.
At the top of the garage, the alpine glacier is in front of you, with an altitude of more than 3700 meters. Glaciers show their true colors in the clouds. Find a place to park and observe the glacier up close.
The Dooku Highway runs through the top of the mountain and there is a permanent glacier nearby.
Dooku highway twists and turns, and it has to climb many mountains. At the height of the mountain, it will cross the glacier or be close to it. In order to find a wide place to park, I decided to take my daughter to explore-to climb a glacier.
With the walkie-talkie, we set off. The road is extremely difficult to walk, covered with gravel, and there are falling rocks on the mountain, so you need to be especially careful. From a distance, the white glacier is really covered with dust and stones, while from a distance, the thin lines on the glacier are ditches washed out by summer melt water on the ice.
The ice is so thick that I can reach my chest when I jump at a height of 1.82 meters, and it is still ice under my feet. The walkie-talkie has exceeded the communication distance, and the mobile phone has no signal. We collected a large piece of ice and then returned.
Duku Highway is steep and beautiful, and it is a part of Damei Xinjiang. Dooku Highway is safe, but you should drive carefully. There are many sharp bends, steep slopes and tortuous roads, and there are always falling rocks on the mountains. You should prevent falling rocks when driving.
From Kuqa to Dushanzi, you have to go through Jorma. There is a martyrs cemetery in Jorma, where road-building soldiers who died for the construction of the Dooku Highway are buried. So wherever you go, don't forget to go in and present a flower to the sleeping heroes.
This post has been written for a long time (all my posts are original, and all the photos are taken by myself). I hope it will help your trip on the Dooku Highway. Since I only go to Dushanzi via Bayinbuluke, I will focus on this paragraph.
Of course, the Dooku Highway belongs to the mountainous highway, and many sections are steep and steep, and it is blocked and foggy in rainy days. Drivers in road trip need to have certain mountain driving experience, obey traffic rules and drive carefully to ensure the safety of themselves and others! Safe driving is the premise to ensure the safety of expressway with single depot!
Where to stay on Dooku Highway is suitable for me. At that time, I chose to stay in Bayinbuluke for one night for the following reasons:
1. Duku Highway, with a total length of more than 500 kilometers, Bayinbuluke is right in the middle of this highway, Kuqa is 258 kilometers from Bayinbuluke and Bayinbuluke is 269 kilometers.
Duku Highway is a scenic avenue in Xinjiang, and the scenery on the road is really beautiful. If you have time, don't hurry to see the scenery on the road. The scenery from Kuqa to Bayinbuluke includes: Qizil Hayadan landform, salt ditch, Tianshan wonders, Bedili village, Hongshan Stone Forest, Kizil Asian scenic spot, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Agger ancient city ruins, valley landscape, and the scenery from Bayinbuluke to Dushanzi Road includes: plateau wetland landscape, Zhuo Ma, ice and snow Daban and so on. These scenic spots are beautiful and have their own characteristics. It takes time to visit, and you will miss a lot of beautiful scenery in a hurry. So this route is especially suitable for stop-and-go, take a look. It is recommended to spend more than two days walking slowly and savoring.
3. After Duku Highway arrives at Bayinbuluke, there are bifurcated roads, one in the direction of Nalati and the other in the direction of Jorma and Dushanzi. You can choose which way to take according to climate, interest, destination and other factors.

Thank you for inviting me! Duff will answer for you. First of all, although it has entered the best viewing period of Xinjiang Duku Highway, it has not been smooth all the way. Zhuo Ma-Bayinbuluke grassland is not fully opened to traffic (there will be many geological disasters in the near future), but it is only opened to traffic in stages or closed to mountains in stages.
Therefore, before driving on the Dooku Highway, you must remember to consult the relevant departments of Xinjiang Highway Bureau. Don't go if the traffic doesn't recover in case of geological disaster.
Answer the subject's first question-is it safe to drive on Dooku Highway? It can be said responsibly that it is very safe!
At present, it is on the Dooku Highway (Kuche Section) and has just finished the whole journey of the Dooku Highway. Because of detours in Yining, Ili Valley, xinyuan county and Nileke County, we did not encounter any man-made interference and violence.
Moreover, during the few days of our trip, the explosion-proof armed police strictly checked the identity information of vehicles and tourists traveling on the road at every big traffic pass, county-city junction and highway intersection.
Even if driving requires refueling on the road, the driver must swipe his ID card to refuel. For example, in xinyuan county, Nilek County, Kuqa County and other big counties near the bicycle factory road, there are detailed safety inspections during the day, and the more careful they are at night, even explosion-proof patrol cars will patrol the urban areas at night 12 hours.
Visitors can put 120 heart to travel to Dooku Highway! Environmental safety factors do not need to be considered too much. If the traffic conditions (such as landslides, mudslides, falling rocks, etc. ) do not meet, the highway and transportation departments will definitely not let self-driving tourists enter;
If the safety factor also includes personal risks, then my suggestion is not to let novices or people with insufficient driving experience in mountain environment drive. Duku Highway takes Panshan Highway all the way, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. Busy or distracted cyclists are not suitable for driving on this road, which is more dangerous.
Finally, there are few high-end hotels and resorts along the Dooku Highway, but there are still many accommodation places with generally acceptable sanitary conditions. If you are a person of status or pay attention to the accommodation environment, you'd better not go to Dooku Highway, because it is difficult to meet your needs! Accommodation recommendation for several important nodes of Duku Highway;
Tamboura Town's Black Bee Manor (car camp) or Prairie Inn; Yindeng Hotel, Bayinbuluke Town; Kuqa County Kuqa Hotel.
The above are the necessary tips on safety and hotel accommodation during the trip on G2 17 single-depot highway. I wish all riders a pleasant journey and a safe journey! Friends who like to go to road trip, please pay attention to my headline number (Fu Ye loves to travel) and ask me questions about travel at any time!
According to your time, there are many places to live. This route is the best if you take a single expressway. Note: I am from Yili.
Jorma in Dushanzi, then Tamboura in the direction of the West Nile, and then back to Jorma, because the scenery in Tamboura is very beautiful, and the so-called Baili Gallery is not far away, about 60-70km back and forth, with scenery along the way. If you don't go, it's a pity to come all the way.
From Zhuoerma crossing the Middle Tianshan Mountains to 0 km of 2 18 National Road, this 70km road can be said to be the most beautiful section of Duku Highway, and then the scenery of this section from 2 18 National Road to Korla is also very beautiful.
Then turn back to line 2 17 of Dooku Highway, which is not far, and it is only a few tens of kilometers back and forth. It's a pity not to go.
Then take the national highway 2 17 to Panshan south to Bayinbuluke Kuqa. As a local, I think this is a perfect road trip to Dooku.
After coming out of Nalati, climb in the valley first, and then climb over the Salmin Mountain and Hora Mountain in Tianshan Mountain. The valley scenery on the plateau is really unique, and the whole road is in good condition, all of which are asphalt pavements. Be careful of falling rocks!
Now let's answer the question about the itinerary. We wanted to finish the road before, so we made some plans. Generally speaking, if we start from Urumqi,
Day 1: Urumqi-Kuitun, about 250 kilometers without taking the expressway, living in Kuitun.
The next day: Kuitun-Bayinbuluke, about 305 kilometers, lived in Bayinbuluke.
Day 3: Bayinbuluke-Kuqa County, about 260 kilometers, living in Kuqa.
This arrangement has enough time to enjoy the scenery along the way. If you have to go to the scenic spots along the way, you need more time. Also, the temperature on the Dooku line will generally start to drop after the National Day, and it will basically snow after 10!
