Location and boundary of Dooku Highway

Duku Highway is the southern section of National Highway 2 17, connecting the north and south of Xinjiang. Because it crosses the Tianshan Mountains, it starts from Dushanzi, an oil city in Xinjiang, and ends at Kuqa, the southern foot of Tianshan Mountains and the northern edge of Tarim Basin. Its geographical coordinates are 82 55' ~ 84 58' east longitude and 465 438+0 42' ~ 44 6544 north latitude. Duku Highway is an ideal geological section across the whole Tianshan Mountain, with good stratum exposure, diverse rock types, complex structural phenomena and obvious neotectonic movement characteristics.

Besides Cambrian-Ordovician, there are outcrops from Mesoproterozoic to Quaternary along the highway. Duku Highway has special terrain, many sharp bends and steep slopes. There are more than 280 kilometers of roads above 2000 meters above sea level. The whole section of 1/3 is a precipice, and the section of 1/5 is in the alpine permafrost zone, passing through nearly 10 major rivers in Tianshan Mountain and four ice banks covered with snow all year round.
