The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's Duku Highway, known as the most beautiful road in China, is a key section of China's National Highway G217. It starts at Dushanzi on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains and ends at Kuche on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, with a total length of 561 kilometers.
Telling Chinese stories and promoting the image of China are part of the work of Chinese ambassadors stationed abroad. Ambassador Xie Feng's article introducing the Duku Highway helps showcase China's magnificent natural scenery and outstanding achievements in transportation construction to the world, allowing people to feel the beauty of nature and human spirit in China.
The Duku Highway runs through the area north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, with picturesque scenery along the way, crossing high mountains and deep valleys. It allows people to experience the amazing feeling of "different weather every ten miles, experiencing four seasons in one day." It is not only a scenic highway but also a major project in the history of China's transportation construction. Initially built as a defense road for the western border, 168 construction soldiers lost their lives for its construction.
