China builds best highway in Xinjiang desert - Urumqi to Altay Scenic Drive 4K HDR

Welcome back to our journey. Xinjiang has a super highway that was only opened to traffic in recent years - the Awu (Altay-Urumqi) Expressway. This is the first desert expressway in Xinjiang. Its completion has opened up a convenient passage between northern Xinjiang and Urumqi, increased the connection between Urumqi and Altay regions, and become another choice for Urumqi residents in the "three-hour tourist business district".

S21 Altay-Urumqi Expressway is located in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The route starts from Beitun City of the 10th Division of the Corps, passes through Beitun City, Fuhai County, Wujiaqu City, Changji Prefecture, and Urumqi City, and ends at the West Ring Expressway in Urumqi City. The route is 342.538 kilometers long and has a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour. Among them, the section from Altay (Beitun) to Wujiaqu adopts the standard of a two-way four-lane expressway, and the section from Wujiaqu to Urumqi adopts the standard of a two-way six-lane expressway.

The S21 "Awu" Expressway features elements of military reclamation culture, aid to Xinjiang culture, desert landscape, agricultural sightseeing, fishing and pastoral culture, and relies on ecological and natural resources along the line such as the Karamay Desert scenery and the Jili Lake Maritime Devil City. It actively creates the S21 Desert Expressway landscape corridor, making the "road" a beautiful landscape and achieving a unique journey enjoyment with the blending of road and scenery.

Now please fasten your seat belts and join me on the Awu Expressway to experience this super highway in the desert and witness Xinjiang's development and outstanding infrastructure achievements.
