Very good, very good, the elderly and children all feel good, the scenery is beautiful, the horseback riding experience is also great, the only thing is that it is difficult to get back to the town from the scenic area, and there is no car.
It rained on the day we went there, and the misty grassland had a unique scenery. Although there were many people, there were also many cars in the scenic area, and the turnover rate was fast, so the queue did not take too long.

My God, Karajun is so beautiful. It is really a dark horse among Xinjiang attractions. There are not many beautiful scenery, and it is so beautiful from beginning to end. The scenery of the Grand Canyon is really amazing.
It was a good self-drive tour experience. Although Kalajun is a bit dated, hiking there was still quite pleasant. Highly recommended. We went the day before security check. Later, due to the Xiata incident, many activities were suspended for security inspections.

The first stop of the Duku Highway tour, we took a shuttle bus from the tourist center in the morning. Bayinbuluke mainly visited two attractions. Overall, it was a good trip.
It's clear the scenic area staff are motivated and proactive, with excellent attention to detail and environmental awareness. However, could the 9-yuan shuttle bus be included in the bus itinerary? Switching to a battery-powered sightseeing bus is quite a hassle. Although this would certainly help the scenic area generate more revenue, it's possible.
The wetland grassland is truly unique, with the endless expanse of green grassland giving you a refreshing feeling.

This is a magical spectacle gifted to us by nature. Only by experiencing it firsthand can you truly appreciate it.
We recommend buying a pass instead of purchasing tickets for the ancient temples.
For those who prefer to just enjoy the sights, we recommend a full tour with guided tours to maximize the value and cultural experience.
We recommend walking; motorized vehicles are discouraged.
The mysterious Grand Canyon of Tianshan is so stunning! Before I went there, I only knew it was a Danxia landform. When I arrived, I was completely impressed by the uncanny workmanship of nature. The reddish-brown rock walls were stacked layer upon layer, and under the sunlight, they looked like burning flames. When I walked in the canyon and looked up, a ray of sunlight leaked through the cracks in the rocks. The changing light and shadow seemed to have traveled to another world.

A semi-developed treasure trove. The huge spruce forest is full of negative ions. The onion-pulling on the dry land is particularly beautiful. The Qimengde Observation Deck is very photogenic and relaxing. The children walked along the way to find dandelions.
The Kurdening Scenic Area is like a dreamland deep in the Tianshan Mountains, with stunning natural scenery, rich ecology, great travel experience, and complete supporting facilities that will make you intoxicated and linger.

Dushanzi Grand Canyon is worthy of being the most scenic spot on the Duku Highway! The canyon is spectacular, with steep cliffs, a gurgling stream at the bottom, and a wealth of activities to enjoy. It is a perfect combination of nature and modern entertainment.
It feels pretty good. There are not many people, the scenic area is not big, and the parking lot is convenient. The children like it very much. The children said that the Ice and Snow World is very fun, but it is too cold and they usually come out in twenty minutes. There are a lot of food and drinks, and people selling things. It feels quite comfortable to walk around. It is much better than the crowded attractions. The third picture is a cliff restaurant. The food is super expensive. You can only enter after buying something. The ice cream costs a little more than 60. There is no need to go in to see the scenery. You can also see it from the outside. You can just go in and sit down and rest. The taste is average. I bought a little and the children didn’t finish it.

It's a fairly average attraction, and the exhibits are rather bland, but it's a great way to get a better understanding of Kuche's history. It's adjacent to Restan Street, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The cultural and creative products at the Kuche Palace aren't as distinctive as those elsewhere, and are largely the same.
Kuqa Palace is located in Kuqa City, Xinjiang, known as the "Kuqa Hereditary Return to the Prince's Mansion", built in 1759, Qianlong to honor the Uighur leader Yuan Ping's rebellious achievements. In 2004, the original site was rebuilt, covering an area of 40,000 square meters. Wangfu integrates Central Plains and Islamic styles, including Wangfu Exhibition Area, Guizi Museum Exhibition Area, Ancient City Wall and other exhibition areas. Here, you can learn about the history of the 12 generations of "Kucha King" through cultural relics display and family history introduction, and feel the history, culture and ethnic customs of Xinjiang.

Shot with an original Apple camera, no filter. These grasslands are among the first to turn green in Xinjiang. Perfect for a visit in May or June. Absolutely beautiful, just sitting and staring at them is a wonderful way to relax. We went on May Day, and during peak season, it's essential to go early in the morning. When we left around 2:00 p.m., there was an 11-kilometer traffic jam on the other side. Those who aren't as energetic can hike up or down on horseback for a different view.
It is worth going, the scenery is beautiful, and it is a good place to take photos of dry land onions. You can experience horseback riding in Qiaxi. The Qiaxi painting is beautiful, but the road has not yet been hardened, and the dust raised by the wheels is a bit large. The Yanzi Bridge parking lot and campsite are relatively mature. If you like more natural, come quickly.

The middle and south sections of the Duku Highway I took (closed due to the landslide in the north section) Nalati → Bayinbrook → Kuqa Who said that the south section is not good-looking? It is simply a natural color palette from Nalla to propose the grassland → Snow Mountain → Cliff → 5 landforms of the river bed at one time! Any shot is a blockbuster recommended to play: Nalati, Bayinbrook, nine curves and eighteen bends, Dalongchi, Xiaolongchi, mysterious Grand Canyon Of course, the most beautiful is still on the road, the attractions are relatively crowded self-driving precautions: there are many sharp bends in the mountain road, novices control the speed of the car with good sun protection, and the car also needs it. My left hand was sunburned through the window to prepare enough food. Although there is a parking area and food in the middle, it is not delicious and expensive. It is the best month. The road is closed at other times.
On July 24th, I departed from my Nileke B&B at 8:15 AM and took the Duku Highway to Urumqi. The 458-kilometer journey was smooth sailing, with only occasional light rain. After stopping and starting, we arrived at the hotel at 5:00 PM.
Passing the Qiorma Martyrs' Cemetery, I saw cigarettes, flowers, candy, and alcohol placed in front of the tombs. A photo of my hometown was placed in front of the tomb of a Henan martyr, and tears instantly fell. As I resumed my journey, my heart felt like a lead weight.
The road was full of curves and long, rolling hills. Be cautious when overtaking, and avoid following too closely. When there are no cars ahead, speed up slightly to avoid causing congestion.
The asphalt road stretched beneath my wheels, and my thoughts wandered back through time. This heavenly road, paved with blood, speaks with every turn, and every steep slope serves as a reminder. We, the passers-by, are only able to travel freely here thanks to the light of the martyrs.

My dears, these three scenic spots in Nalati are really amazing. You will regret it if you don't go! The first is the Sky Grassland, with an average altitude of 2,200 meters. It is like floating in the clouds, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests and meadows. From June to August, wild flowers are everywhere, as beautiful as a fairyland. You can take a picture of it as a desktop. The second is Tawusani. As the first stop to enter the river valley grassland, it has a beautiful view of one mountain and four scenes. Snow-capped mountains, forests, hills and meadows are in the same frame. It is an excellent window for the vertical natural landscape belt of the grassland. Finally, don't miss Jiaolong Going Out to Sea. It is the commanding height of Panlong Valley Road. Standing here, you can see the scattered snow-capped spruce and the winding sightseeing road like a dragon, which is super shocking.
