China National Highway 312 (312国道), also referred to as Route 312 or The Mother Road, is an important highway that runs east-west across the breadth of People's Republic of China. It begins at the port city Shanghai and ends at Khorgas in the Ili River valley, on the border with Kazakhstan. In total it spans 2,998 miles. Other important cities on the route include Nanjing, Hefei, Xinyang, Xian, Lanzhou, Jiayuguan and Urumqi.
