There is the scenery of beautiful snow mountains along the DuKu highway in early summer.China National Highway 217 G217 runs south from Altay, Xinjiang to Hotan, Xinjiang. It is 1,753 kilometres in length and runs southwest from Altay towards Kuqa County and from there southwards through the Taklamakan Desert to Hotan. The section between Dushanzi and Kuqa crosses the Tianshan Mountains and is commonly known as Duku Highway. The local geography and climate are very poor, and the construction of this road has paid a high price, including 168 lives of army soldiers.Taken in Xinjiang, China.
