#秋日生活打卡季#
In China, there is such a way:
It's only open for 5 months a year, and if you miss it, you'll have to wait another year before you can set foot here.
This road is winding, but it has been rated as "the most beautiful highway in China" by many "travelers"!
It is the "Duku Highway".
Due to the special topography of Duku Highway, there are more than 280 kilometers of road sections above 2,000 meters above sea level!
Therefore, for safety reasons, it is only open for five months a year, and winter traffic is restricted for up to seven months from the end of September to May of the following year.
Although the opening time is short, these 5 months are the most beautiful time for the independent treasury.

The secret realm of the Library
"Dushanzi Grand Canyon"
If the "Andihai Grand Canyon" is the art flowing out of the "modernist abstract painting", then the Dushanzi Grand Canyon is the Chinese version of the "Colora Grand Canyon"!

Aerial steppe
"Narati Steppe"
Have you ever heard of "Steppe in the Sky"?

Fantastic

Xinjiang is the dream of many people, and the Duku Highway has helped many people realize their dreams.
I can't even say that Xinjiang doesn't know how vast China is!
▽Xinjiang Kanas
In the past, there was a long distance between the north and south of Xinjiang, but its connection has shortened the distance between the north and south of Xinjiang by nearly half from the original more than 1,000 kilometers!
"Ten miles of different days, one day has four seasons", it is the Duku Highway.
So, if you don't know where to go on your next trip, take a walk on this mysterious road.
It's desolate, it's beautiful, it's shocking... In short, it will make you unforgettable for a lifetime.
