길이만 무려 561km? 눈 속에 파묻혀 있다가 1년에 4개월만 열리는 중국의 특별한 국도. 현지인들이 일부러 찾아오는 이유 | 세계테마기행 | #세테깅

🌏 Become friends with Setegi : https://bit.ly/WorldTravel_EBS Buried in snow, the Duku Public Road opens for only four months a year. It is the name of a 561km national highway connecting Dushanzi and Kuche. Traversing the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, this road is famous for its beautiful scenery. Nestled in the embrace of gorges, the landscape of this road changes its appearance moment by moment. Following majestic gorges, jade-colored mountain lakes and glacier-covered peaks of snow-capped mountains appear in succession, stirring the hearts of travelers. Stopping helplessly before the breathtaking views unfolding everywhere, one tries to forget their worries. Following the Dukugong Road, a true "sky road" where half the route runs at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, we arrived at the Narati Scenic Area, a heavenly grassland. Spanning a total area of ​​1,850 square kilometers, this alpine grassland features diverse landscapes including snow-capped mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes. The Narati Grassland is considered a popular summer resort and photography hotspot in China. It is the homeland where the Kazakh people have historically lived as nomads. Even today, the Kazakhs maintain their traditional nomadic lifestyle here while also engaging in tourism work for visitors to the grasslands. Among them are Kazakh children who have come to the summer grazing grounds for their school holidays. They bring newborn lambs from home to take photos with tourists, offer horseback riding experiences, sell mare's milk, and help with household chores. Here, we met a Kazakh girl named Asuimo. We visit the ger where the girl's family lives, teach Korean to Aunt Asui—who says she wants to live in Korea when she becomes an adult—and spend a day on the grasslands, eating ramen on a stormy, thunderous night. Finally, we taste honey made from wildflowers of the vast Narati grasslands and take in the peaceful scenery of the sky-like meadows. ※ This video is an excerpt from World Theme Travel - Ecstasy 6,400km, China Western Regions Part 3: The Road to Heaven, Dukugonglou , which aired on August 28, 2024.
