The seasonal Duku Highway in Xinjiang, closed from October to May due to snow and avalanches, reopened on June 2, 2026. A new expressway from Kuytun to Kuqa is under construction, expected to cut travel time from 14 to 4 hours and allow year-round operation by 2032. Visitor numbers are projected to reach 7.07 million in 2025; the Bayinbuluke parking lot now offers 117 EV charging stations.
