Xinjiang Defence Highway S101 - Scenic Drive 4K - Manas to Usu

Описание: In August, the scenery of the S101 line on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains is so magnificent. The starting point of the S101 line is located at the fork in the Xishan Farm in Urumqi City, and the end point is at the Bayingou Farm in Wusu City, Tacheng District. This road is like a gorgeous ribbon winding at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, connecting one intoxicating landscape after another. Along the way, you can appreciate the unique natural scenery of the Gobi Desert, Danxia, ​​snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, canyons, lakes, etc. Therefore, it has the reputation of "Tiny Duku Highway". In recent years, it has attracted many self-driving enthusiasts to come and drive through.

Xinjiang S101 is also a national defense highway that was abandoned for more than half a century, a barely-known Tianshan scenic highway, a geographical corridor with amazing scenery, and a colorful photography road. It is 308 kilometers long and passes through Danxia, reservoirs, grasslands, canyons and other landforms and attractions along the way. The colorful Danxia here is comparable to Zhangye, Gansu.

In 2018, the list of “100 Most Beautiful Scenic Spots in Xinjiang” jointly initiated by China National Geographic Magazine and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Tourism Development Committee was announced, and Changji’s “100 Miles Bai Li Danxia” was among them.

This episode is from the S101 Ken Swart Reservoir Scenic to the intersection of S101 and Duku Highway G217 at Wusuyi.
