The scenic area includes lake views, primeval forests, mountain meadows, and other diverse landscapes, with supporting green transportation services to enhance the sightseeing experience; the Duku Highway is expected to officially open on June 5, 2026, with a total opening period of about 150 days. This trip includes a tour of the essence section of the Duku Highway, where you can see various landforms such as Gobi deserts, snowy peaks, meadow valleys, and red-layer canyons, directly experiencing the landform differences between northern and southern Xinjiang; other spots include Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Pamir Plateau, and Kashgar Old City, covering different types of sightseeing needs such as natural scenery, folk experiences, and cultural relics.
