Xuanzang's Journey in Kuqa

The Duku Highway in Xinjiang (from Kuqa to Dushanzi) spans 562 kilometers! This road is only open from June to October each year, running from the southern to the northern section. The scenery along the way is absolutely stunning! One notable spot is Kuqa, which is part of the route Xuanzang took to retrieve Buddhist scriptures from the West. Along this path, you'll pass through the Kizilya Grand Canyon and the Red Stone Forest. Without a self-driving trip, it would be hard to imagine visiting these incredible places!
