New Option for In-Depth Travel in Ili:Comprehensive Guide to a One-Day Tour: Internet-Famous Photo Spots at the Guozigou Bridge + Circumnavigation of Sayram Lake
[Route Highlights:Unlock Multiple Perspectives of Xinjiang’s ‘Sky Dragon’]
As Xinjiang’s first double-tower, double-cable-plane steel truss girder cable-stayed bridge, the Guozigou Bridge spans the canyon with its 209-meter-high main towers. It is known among photography enthusiasts as ‘Xinjiang’s Most Beautiful Highway Bridge.’ Recent data from 2026 shows that the attraction receives over 3,000 visitors per day on average, making it a must-visit landmark on the Northern Xinjiang Loop. Xinjiang Explorer International Travel Agency offers a specialized one-day tour that integrates three core experiences:
I. Comprehensive Guide to Three Internet-Famous Photo Spots
① Northern Hilltop Viewing Platform (Golden Hour for Sunrise)
From 7:00 to 8:30 AM, as the first rays of sunlight pierce through the clouds, the bridge cables intertwine with the morning mist to form golden ribbons. This spot allows you to capture the bridge in its entirety alongside the layered mountains of Guozigou. A 24-70mm zoom lens is recommended.
② Eastern Low-Angle Uphill Shooting Point (Open All Day)
Located 2 kilometers south along National Highway G312, this spot utilizes the slope of the hillside to create a visual impact, making it ideal for creative group photos featuring people and the bridge. In 2026, new guardrails were added to the scenic area, allowing families with children to take photos safely.
③ Forest Park Boardwalk Secret Spot (25-Minute Hike Required)

[Real Visitor Experiences]
Feedback from Ms. Li, a tourist from Shanghai:“Our guide, Xiao Wang, was very sensitive to changes in light and shadow. He took us to the prime shooting spot 20 minutes before sunrise. The contrast between the blue ice scenery of Sayram Lake and the steel structure of the bridge was striking—every shot was a masterpiece!”
Statement from Mr. Zhang, a photography enthusiast from Beijing:“I was initially concerned that a one-day tour would be rushed, but the 15-seat commercial vehicle arranged by the travel agency drove directly to the core photo spots, saving us at least 2 hours of hiking time and giving us more time to create.”
