The Duku Highway is expected to open on June 10, 2026. If traveling in July-August, you can upgrade to the 7-day ‘Nalati + Duku Highway’ version, adding sites such as the Qiaoerma Martyrs Cemetery and the Nine Curves of Bayanbulak. Currently, major sections of the Yili River Valley are fully paved with asphalt, but off-the-beaten-path sections like the back mountain of Qiongkushitai still require SUV access.
