Where is the national highway 2 17 324 km?
Duku Highway starts from Dushanzi City in northern Xinjiang and ends in Kuqa City in southern Xinjiang. Originally, it was necessary to bypass Urumqi, Toksun and Korla, and the journey was nearly 1000 km, which was shortened by half. This epic single-depot expressway with a total length of 56 1 km was completed and opened to traffic in September 1983.
As a result of crossing the high-altitude snow area, crossing the four major boards, there is snow all year round. The whole section is only open for four months every year (from the beginning of June to the end of September, 10). During this period, the local traffic police department will be temporarily closed due to the weather.
Extended data:
Dooku North Section:
Dushanzi-Jorma-Nalati, about 250KM
Starting from Dushanzi, all the way to Panshan Highway needs to pass through Gendaban (3,460m) in Harkjerr and Gedaban (3,400m) in Yuxi. There are many sharp bends, tunnels and culverts along the way, which are often temporarily closed due to bad weather such as rainfall, snowfall and avalanche.
The northern section is the most difficult section of the Dooku Highway, so it is the last section opened to traffic every year, and it is also the most beautiful section of the Dooku Highway.
There is a high probability that the northern section of Dooku will be blocked every year. After the road closure, it is necessary to bypass Sailimu Lake and Yining, and the original distance of 250km will be increased to more than 700 km.
Single library segment:
Nalati-Bayinbuluke, about 60KM.
From Nalati, cross the Gunnas Valley and turn south. There is a rest area where you can stop and take photos. Finally, I arrived in Bayinbuluke Town and enjoyed the famous "Sunset with Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends", which is also a must-take route for many tourists to come to Xinjiang.
At present, buses and trucks are allowed to pass through the middle section of a single warehouse, but it will also be affected by rainfall or snowfall, and sometimes it will be closed. It is necessary to bypass Aikendaban and go to Bayinbuluke, and the driving distance will be increased by about 1.5 -2 hours.
