Duku Highway, China’s Must-Drive Route, Reopens Tomorrow: Some Tourists Camp Out for Weeks to Be Among the First
The Duku Highway in Xinjiang, China, is set to reopen on May 31, 2025, after completion of snow removal and repairs. This scenic 561km route, celebrated for its diverse landscapes and the experience of “four seasons in a single day,” will allow passenger vehicles with under seven seats. Anticipation is high, with tourists and the local tourism industry eagerly awaiting the reopening, evidenced by early arrivals and preparations for a reopening ceremony including fireworks. The highway typically operates from June to October due to heavy snowfall.
