But in this seductive beauty, some very dazzling news emerged, which also caused the anger of netizens.
“You can see all the rubbish along the way and you can’t finish picking it up”
Recently, many netizens reported seeing trash everywhere on Duku Highway in Xinjiang, especially in parking areas, rest stops and other places, with food bags and plastic bottles everywhere.
An interviewed tourist said he was very angry: “You can see garbage along the way, and it is even more exaggerated at various sites. I picked up some bags myself, but I couldn’t pick them up at all.” In the video, discarded masks, empty Mineral water bottles, food bags and other large amounts of rubbish littered roads, rest stops and roadside grass.
In addition to highways, some popular scenic spots have not been spared.
In the Xinjiang hiking resort Wusun Ancient Road Paradise Lake, there are also tourists who have left behind garbage after camping, and even deflated inflatable rowboats and gas tanks.
On the 23rd, a media contacted the Cultural and Tourism Bureau of Turks County, Ili Prefecture, Xinjiang. The relevant person in charge said that there are helicopters flying to Paradise Lake every day, which will take out the garbage. Do not litter.
These rubbish on top of the dense beauty not only looks annoying, but also has an impact on the local environment and ecology.
Some netizens noticed that some local animals, such as cattle and sheep, chew on garbage such as plastic bags because they eat grass by mistake or because they are curious.

Xinjiang Culture and Tourism Department appeals: Please don’t let the Duku Highway become a garbage dump
Recently, many netizens reported seeing garbage littering on Duku Highway, especially in parking areas, rest stops and other places. Food bags and plastic bottles were everywhere.

Here is an initiative to ask self-driving tourists to bring garbage bags with them and put garbage into garbage bins or garbage stations along the way. Do not stop at random on the way of self-driving, and park in the direction of the arrow in the designated parking space. Tourists who are hiking or traveling, please put away your belongings or take them away after use, and do not throw them away. When traveling, try to bring your own water cups and reusable bags to reduce the disposal and pollution of beverage bottles and plastic bags. Be sure not to litter next to water sources and pasture areas. Beware of naive calves and lambs eating garbage and endangering lives.
What we want to give you is the picturesque Duku Highway, not the natural garbage dump that is thrown around.
