S21 Desert Highway

The S21 is the pinnacle of Modern China infrastructure. Reducing the travel time from Urumqi to Altay by nearly half, this ultra-modern highway allows travelers to “sail” across the desert at high speeds. Unlike traditional winding roads, the S21 offers a mesmerizing, rhythmic view of the shifting dunes and alkaline flats of the Junggar Basin. It is a sanctuary for Photography, where the black asphalt contrasts sharply with the golden sands. WeTrip provides luxury vehicles equipped with panoramic windows, turning a long transit into a cinematic experience of speed and solitude across one of the world’s most remote regions.

China's first "Desert Expressway"—a 340-kilometer engineering marvel that cuts a straight black line through the heart of the Gurbantunggut Desert.
