🌿 Why choose a customized car rental tour from Yining to Zhaosu?
Yining to Zhaosu is about 120 kilometers, with a drive of about 2.5 hours, but the scenery along the way is worth savoring slowly. Unlike the rushed pace of regular group tours, a customized car rental tour allows flexible stops based on personal interests:
Shata Ancient Road Entrance:Offers distant views of the snow-capped mountains and forest boundary
Rapeseed Flower Sea (late June to mid-July):Rolling golden fields
Tianma Cultural Park:Watch locals tame horses and learn about the history of Heavenly Horses
Ka’erkan Te Grassland:Less crowded with beautiful scenery, ideal for picnics or light hiking
Many tourists ask:‘How are the road conditions on this route?’ ‘Do I need to book in advance?’ According to the latest 2026 information, the Yizhao Highway reopened at the end of April (closed annually in winter) and is now fully open without reservation, but it’s recommended to avoid holiday peaks to reduce congestion. Attractions like Tianma Cultural Park are open as usual, with entry policies based on on-site announcements.

The kids especially loved the horse riding experience on Zhaosu Grassland. We didn’t enter any shopping stores throughout, so we felt at ease.’
