What should I bring with me for a three-day trip to Duku Highway?

At 11 o'clock on July 16, 2019, I drove with my friends from Dushanzi to the Duku Highway. We packed lightly and set off. With the longing for the Duku Highway, we rushed all the way. At 11 o'clock in the morning on the 18th, We arrived in Kuqa and returned to Urumqi at 11:30 in the evening. The whole journey was more than 1,200 kilometers. Let’s talk about what you need to bring, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Let’s talk about food first: fruits, bread, Xinjiang naan, instant noodles, ham sausage and some packaged eggs. You can also bring some yogurt. Then wear some clothes: the temperature in the mountainous area is very low, it is hotter during the day, and you have to wear cotton-padded clothes in the evening. The temperature at night is about 4 to 5 degrees, so you must bring thick clothes. Let’s talk about accommodation: Generally, when you enter Duku Highway, you just walk and look at it. You can take a long and leisurely trip to Choolma, the end point of the northern section of Duku Highway. The accommodation fee there is very expensive. The lowest hotel usually costs 380 yuan a night. You can buy yurts. It’s a bargain, but it’s still a big expense. You can live in the car on your own. If you’re driving an SUV, bring a quilt and mattress for sleeping, and just fold down the second-row seats and sleep directly. If it is a car, you must bring a tent (an inflatable mattress is a must) and cover yourself with a thick quilt before falling asleep, otherwise you will wake up with a cold back. (Many friends who stayed in Jorma and set up tents on the night of the 16th were woken up by the cold at around 6 o'clock and had to drive away). Well, when you get to Qiaoerma, you can go to the Martyrs Cemetery to pay homage to the road-building martyrs and heroes. After that, you can go to Baili Gallery to have a look and refill your car with gasoline. Fill up the car with No. 92 gasoline (6.33 yuan/liter, other places) in Dushanzi 6.57 yuan), there is still more than half left when we get to Qiaoerma. Moreover, Qiaoerma only has 95# gasoline and does not need to replenish it. There is no 92# gasoline in Nalati, so you can go to Bayinbuluke to add 92#. Note that these are definitely fun to play. A few tips: 1. Jorma’s rice is really not delicious, so you can make it yourself. Also, the service area in Jorma does not allow overnight parking. Do not wait for the sun to go down and set up camp there. The administrator will urge you to leave over and over again, and may even say that the police station will come to drive you away. You can choose a flat place twenty or thirty meters away from the gas station to station. 2. Pay attention to the speed when driving. Safety is the greatest blessing. When you see Land Cruiser, Patrol, Prado and other vehicles, remember to be more patient and give in. They try their best to overtake other vehicles. They believe that their skills are excellent, but the target is coming. I haven't mastered the car technology yet. 3. You need to pay a parking fee of 20 yuan to park overnight at the Tianshan Grand Canyon in Kuqa. You can negotiate the price. After all, saving is worth it. Hope this helps.

Bring your heart and experience the wonders of nature! You still need to bring things with you. The temperature changes greatly on the entire Duku Highway. You need to bring cool and thick clothes. You also need to prepare some rain gear. It is best to wear flat shoes. Sometimes when you encounter beautiful scenery, you will climb a hillside to see the other side. There is beautiful scenery. There is water in the Kuqa Grand Canyon. It is best to wear sandals and bring some food and water with you. There are very few supplies in the middle. There are too many people going there now, and there will be traffic jams in some places. Halfway through Bayin Brooke has the largest supply area. If you need to sleep in a hotel, book a room in advance. It is recommended not to drive after dark. Plan your driving time. Fill up the gas tank before entering the Duku Highway. Fill up the gas station when you encounter it. Do not throw stones into ponds or lakes. People who suffer from altitude sickness or who live in low-altitude areas all year round should bring two oxygen tanks. The altitude of some Yakou is still relatively high~

Here is Duku Photos along the highway

Only the northern section of the Duku Highway, the Nalati-Dushanzi section, does not have large trucks on the road. From Bayinbuluke to Kuqa, there are too many long trucks! I was stuck in traffic jam for nearly 7 hours yesterday on 7.18. You can imagine how congested it is. Moreover, there is no signal on mobile phones at all on the blocked road, and I did not see a traffic policeman to divert traffic.

The most important things are ID card, driver's license, driving license, water, and thicker clothes. There will be snow on the top of the mountain. . Also bring some money.

You don’t actually need to bring anything else.

As long as you don’t camp, there will be food and accommodation along the way. There is food in Bayinbuluke and Qiaoerma. In addition, some herdsmen will kill sheep and sell them on kebabs along the way.

If the altitude sickness is severe, it is best to bring two oxygen tanks. But the vast majority of people basically have no problem.

ID card, driver’s license, food, if you can eat, it’s best to bring some naan, yogurt, water, warm clothes, thin down jacket, camera, mobile phone, sunglasses , Sunscreen. Since Xinjiang has a vast territory and long summer days, it may not be possible to catch up with the meal time, so you must bring food, dry food and tropical clothes. The Duku Highway has many mountainous roads with steep slopes and sharp turns. Do not drive while fatigued. The scenery along the way is beautiful. Don't be distracted by the beautiful scenery while driving. There are parking spots along the way, so stop and rest in time. Have a nice journey.

Normally, it takes two days to travel on the Duku Highway. It is not necessary to take three days from Urumqi to Bayin. One day from Bayin to Kuqa. Normally thin long pants and long sleeves are enough. You can also bring a down jacket as a backup.

I saw your question when I was passing by. I happened to drive through Duku before.

First of all, bring enough food and drinks for the journey. Although there are also food and drinks sold on the way, the prices are definitely higher.

Then, bring a jacket. There is snow at the highest altitude in Duku. It is not cold in the car but it will be cold if you go down to take pictures for a long time. You must also prepare sun protection measures.

Finally, put on a good mood and bring your family and friends to experience the beautiful Xinjiang!

Others have said it well. I only remind Bayinbuluke to wear long clothes, long trousers, closed-toe shoes, and a hood and mask. Anyway, you should cover everything except your eyes! Mosquitoes are everywhere! Don’t ask me how I know
