The correct way to explore the Yizhao Highway, known as the 'Little Duku' in Xinjiang

In Xinjiang, there is a route that is only open for 3 months a year, more dangerous than the Duku Highway, and more beautiful than Xinjiang S101~ It is the Yizhao Highway, known as the 'Little Duku'🛣️ I just came back from there and would like to share it with everyone~ - 【Yizhao Highway】 Provincial Highway 237, about 110 kilometers long, starts from the second bridge of the Ili River in Yining City in the north and ends in Zhaosu County in the south~ Total length: about 212 kilometers Upper section: Yining to Zhaosu section (the essence of Yizhao Highway: about 108 kilometers, takes 3 hours) Lower section: Zhaosu to Muzart section - 【Scenic Spots】 ✔️Upper section * Baishifeng Viewing Platform: The section from Baishifeng to Zhaosu is the most scenic part of Yizhao Highway (this is a classic cliff road aerial photography spot) * Anglet Daban: The viewing platform is over 3000 meters above sea level, offering a panoramic view of the vast mountains and pine forests * Wolf Valley: A free, lesser-known attraction near Zhaosu, consisting of more than 10 canyons and nearly a million acres of natural highland grasslands🍀 ✔️Lower section * Xiata Ancient Road: Near the main ridge of the Tianshan Mountains, adjacent to the vast Tekes River. Comparable to Mount Cook in New Zealand. Known as one of the 'Three Great Hiking Routes in Xinjiang' along with the Wusun Ancient Road and the Wolf Tower * Zhaosu Heavenly Horses: You can watch world-famous horse shows, experience riding Ili horses, and participate in equestrian summer camps. The most unmissable events are the heavenly horse river bath and equestrian performances * Zhaosu Rapeseed Flowers: This is the largest rapeseed flower field in the country, with grasslands and rapeseed fields interspersed, echoing the Tianshan Mountains * Kuokesu Grand Canyon: Here you can find natural landscapes such as Hukou Waterfall, Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns, Crocodile Bay, and Human Grassland (the Human Grassland is composed of countless hills with altitudes ranging from 1300 meters to 4000 meters) Travel Tips!! * Opening time: June to October every year * The road has many sharp turns and cliff sections, so novice drivers should be cautious about driving there * Before traveling, pay attention to the local weather conditions and confirm the road's opening status. Prepare clothing of different warmth levels according to the weather 🚗Self-driving Guide Vehicle restrictions: All types of vehicles with more than 7 seats (excluding 7 seats) and commercial vehicles with more than 5 seats (including 5 seats) ❗️❗️Parking and playing along the entire Yizhao Highway is prohibited (except in parking areas). From 22:00 to 09:00 the next day, no vehicles are allowed to pass (only exit, no entry) I visited both the north and south sections of the Duku Highway on this trip, and personally, I prefer the Yizhao Highway. The beautiful scenery along the way is unforgettable!! Yizhao Highway
