The history book records that this place was once one of the important passages of the ancient Silk Road. The scenic spot is small and parking is convenient. The canyon can be easily walked.

石室清隐
The fourth batch of key national cultural relics protection units, in the Guizi Grottoes group, the third scale, after Keqier and Kumtula, is located in a ditch in Kuktage Mountain 40 kilometers northeast of Kuqa County. "Senmu Sem" is a Wei language, meaning "there is fine water out". The caves are distributed in the horseshoe-shaped valley. According to the geographical location, they can be divided into five districts, East, South, West, North and Central. There are 57 caves in the existing number, and the central area is a ground monastery site. The second visit to Senmu Sem during the May Day this year needs to be explained that Senmu Sem Grottoes are not open to the public, and the information on the Internet that free visits are false! Even if you can enter the visit, you can't take pictures in the cave. In addition, Baidu map and Trip.com positioning are wrong! Deviation is more than tens of kilometers! The actual location is in the mountains north of a group of Kezhixi Village. The wild dogs here are very fierce, and according to the clerk, there are wolves infested nearby. Be careful for individual visitors...

Kumutula Thousand Buddha Cave is located on the mountain top and cliffs on the east side of the Ligan River. It is divided into north and south regions. The grottoes and murals are less well preserved, and most of them have been damaged or naturally damaged. The grottoes were carved in the fourth century, and the murals were first recorded in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. There are Huiyu grottoes in the grotto group, which represent and reflect the history and culture of the time. Compared with the Krakow Thousand Buddha cave, the style is similar and the scale is small.

If you park in the rest area at the end of the Duku Highway, you won't notice the large area of Yadan on both sides of the road, which is a pyramid natural tourist area. Although the brand is large, there are no traces or diagrams of the tourist area that have been built, as if you just threw it there. But you will be shocked by the empty and desolateness of the no-man's area of Yadan. There is a rift valley behind the big black stone monument, but unfortunately this is a no-fly zone, otherwise the effect of small planes should be better at high altitudes. 🌸 You can take a beautiful view by standing at a height of the earth slope. However, it must be noted that this land is not artificially reinforced, and the lack of water causes the soil to be very loose and easy to step in. Especially close to the Rift Valley, safety first. 🌹 Crossing the road is very dangerous. There is a bridge hole under the road that can be passed through, but it is a bit dirty, because it is almost used as a public toilet... Walk over to the opposite side of the road, the scenery is completely different, no longer a vast endless flatland but a tall raised Yadan pile. In accordance with the safety principle, we also took pictures on the nearest slope to the roadside, but all the photos were blockbusters. 🌸 Address: The road monument rest area at the end of Kuqa Duku Highway (the last picture) #I really want to go out to play #The scenery on the road

九山行
Tieli Maitida, located in Hejing County, Bayingo Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, at an altitude of 3,700 meters, is the last barrier of Duku Highway, and is also the turning point of Duku Highway from spring and autumn to summer in the four seasons. It is located at the intersection of National Highway 217 and Tianshan Harkit Wushan main ridge. The snow is not snowed all year round, and the summer can be perfectly covered even in midsummer. In addition, the mountain is rugged and rugged, which is the most beautiful scenery of Duku Highway. [Rainbow] Key recommendation: [Fire] Populus euphratica: Overturn Tieli Maitida, there is a place where the river and Populus euphratica forest intersect at the foot of the mountain in the direction of Kuqa. There is a parking area on the roadside for everyone to play. Because the tree distribution is relatively sparse, the curved backside or upright trunks match the river, the photo is very beautiful. [Fire] Panshan Highway: The Panshan Highway in the direction of the Tieli Maitida Tunnel to the big and small Longchi is another beautiful scenery of Duku Highway. Unlike the highway in the Hashilgenda section, the route of the circle is clearer and the sight line is wider, especially in the parking area at the exit of the Tieli Maitida tunnel. The broad view integrates the snow-capped mountains, long valleys, winding roads, and winding boulders. Take pictures and mention beautiful. [Fire] Wetland Grassland: On the north side of Tielimaitida, it belongs to the style of Bayinbrook Grassland Wetlands, and you can see rivers, wetlands and woods on both sides of the river valley. The color here changes greatly with the migration of the season, and in autumn it is the season of golden, blue and green. [Fire] size dragon pool: the size dragon pool is a famous attraction in Duku Highway, located below Tieli Maitida. The lakes formed by the melting of Tianshan snow and water in the arms of the mountains are crystal clear and beautiful. The two lakes are connected to the waterfall that falls with the mountain. 📍 Address: 217 National Road Tianshan Section Daqi 💰 Tickets: Free 🕙 Opening hours: All day 🚉 Traffic Raiders: Self-driving. 📝 Tips: 1. Best viewing period: I personally feel that the best viewing period for Tieli Maitida is in 7-8 month. The first time Daqian's temperature is more comfortable. In addition, snow-capped mountains and greenery can also be combined perfectly. After arriving in September, the green will become less, lack of vibrant color, and the iron force buy Tidak is even more awkward. 2. Regarding road closure: Tidak is the highest place in the whole section of the Duku Highway. Snow is not clear all year round. However, it is close to the south side of Tianshan, so the bad weather will be slightly less than the north section. However, there will also be problems with heavy snow closures. You need to see the weather forecast and consult local traffic in advance before departure. 3. Regarding drones: the effect of drone shooting is more shocking! However, it is recommended to fly from the parking area halfway up the mountain to avoid the impact of the wind on the drones. #World Heritage Tour #Winter Scenery #Nature Wonders #Winter Scenery
