If you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't know the size of the motherland; if you don't take the heroic road (Duku Highway), you don't know the beauty of the Tianshan Mountains.
The Duku Highway runs from Dushanzi in the north to Kuqa City in the south, with a total distance of more than 500 kilometers. After 10 years, tens of thousands of officers and men of the People's Liberation Army have built the Tianshan Passage at the cost of 168 officers and men. The documentary literature "Watching the Heavenly Mountain" records this story that can be sung and wept.

Bayinbrook Grassland, The largest alpine grassland in China above 1500 meters in the southern section of the Duku Highway, is different from the Hulunbuir Grassland in Inner Mongolia, where the road is endless, the snow-capped mountains accompany you, and the green grass is like a carpet wrapping around every ridge.

Under the nurturing of the Kaidu River, living with the Mongolian brothers of the Turk tribe led by the "hero of Donggui" Wolbasi, Donggui returned to the embrace of the motherland with its majestic and tragic momentum, with its longing for the motherland in its hometown, under the condition of paying a tragic sacrifice, and the original 1780,000 people have returned to their homeland less than 100,000.
