Wusun ancient road refers to the ancient road from Wusun ancient country to Qiuci ancient country that crosses the north and south of Tianshan Mountain. It is the throat that runs through the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, and it is a treasure-house that many nomadic peoples compete for in history.

The ancient country of Qiuci is Kuqa and Baicheng in Xinjiang now. Wusun ancient road refers to the ancient road from Wusun country to Qiuci country crossing the north and south of Tianshan Mountain. There are many roads, and the current National Highway 2 17 (Duku Highway) was the Wusun Ancient Road with the largest number of people at that time.

The natural scenery of Wusun Ancient Road is very charming. The first is Paradise Lake-Akkule Lake. This is a relatively rare big lake in Xinjiang, with grasslands, snow-capped mountains and glaciers. It is close to Daban (the main vein of Tianshan Mountain) in Akburak, giving people the feeling of "East Tianshan Mountain"-Tianchi Mountain at the foot of Bogda Peak, and the scenery is even better than Tianchi Lake.

History shines like a starry sky, and the ancient road has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes. Now we explore again, just like opening a book that has been dusty for many years, from which we can experience and appreciate the deposition of the ancient road. ...

Langta Road is the longest and most dangerous hiking route across the northern Tianshan Mountains. It starts from Hutubi River Grand Canyon in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, passes through five Osaka with a distance of nearly 4,000 meters from north to south, and then reaches Barentai in Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture and Jingxian County. The whole walking distance is about120km.

Hutubi River originates from Heyuan Peak. In the local Kazakh language, Heyuan Peak is called Wolf Tower, which means Tashan Mountain guarded by wolves. Heyuan peak is 5290 meters above sea level, and the mountain shape is as steep as a steeple. Wolf Tower Line C is a high-risk hiking route through this area.

Crossing the Wolf Tower C line requires crossing the iceberg pass, crossing the rapids and rapids, taking the plank road in the air, and crossing the grasslands and forests ... The scenery is beautiful and breathtaking, combining the majestic Tianshan scenery.

Outdoor in Xinjiang, Langta Line C is rated as Grade 8 with the highest difficulty and scenery, and it is one of the most difficult hiking routes known at present. The no-man's land of Houshan 100 kilometers is densely forested, covering the sky; Strange flowers and exotic plants are unheard of. It is a paradise for wild animals such as wolves, brown bears, snow leopards, wild boars, goats, argali and snow chickens, and it is also a place that adventurous mountain friends yearn for.

The Chater Ancient Road is a difficult hiking adventure route integrating archaeology and adventure. During the crossing, the fragmented Mouzard glaciers, ice cracks and glaciers will pose a great threat to the explorers. In addition, horses can't pass through Muzate Glacier, and explorers have to carry all their own equipment and food.

The ruins of Niya are lonely. Why this ancient country gave up its hometown is still unknown.
