📍 Departing from Yining, check in at the Guozigou Bridge: A spontaneous light trip to Northern Xinjiang🌄 Checking in at the Guozigou Bridge is more than just ‘passing by’
The Guozigou Bridge is located between Sayram Lake and Huocheng, a key node on the Lianhuo Expressway. Standing on the observation deck, the cable-stayed structure contrasts beautifully with the canyon and snowy mountains, especially in the soft light of early morning or evening, making it ideal for photography enthusiasts.
Note that the bridge itself does not have pedestrian walkways, but there are dedicated viewing platforms nearby (such as the Songshutou viewpoint) where you can park briefly for photos. Since spring 2026, this area has been open normally with no temporary closure notices, but due to weather conditions (such as strong winds or snowfall), traffic status may change dynamically, so it is recommended to confirm before traveling.
> Frequently Asked Questions:
> ‘Can I take photos on the bridge?’
> ——No. Tourists are advised to take distant photos from the viewing area and are not allowed to enter the bridge deck or construction service guidance zones.
