【In-Depth Exploration of Xinjiang’s Mountain Roads:Unlock the Grandeur and Mystery of the ‘Cloud Highway’ with a Customized Group Tour Vehicle】
【Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination】
Amidst the vast expanse of Xinjiang, mountain roads wind like dragons through towering peaks and rugged terrain. They are not just vital transportation routes connecting remote areas but also ‘paradise roads’ for self-drive enthusiasts and photographers. In 2026, Xinjiang’s mountain roads, known as the ‘Cloud Highway,’ attract countless tourists, with the most renowned being the northern section of the Duku Highway (G217 National Road from Dushanzi to Nalati) and the Yizhao Highway (S237 Provincial Road from Yining to Zhaosu). These two roads are famous for their treacherous bends, ever-changing seasonal scenery, and the wonder of ‘seeing all four seasons in a day.’ Along the way, you can overlook snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests, and canyons, with a panoramic view unfolding like a painting.
Northern Section of Duku Highway: Spanning 350 kilometers, it connects attractions such as Dushanzi Grand Canyon, Qiaoerma Martyrs Cemetery, and Nalati Grassland. Recent data for 2026 indicates that this section is closed due to winter snow and typically opens from June to October (subject to local transportation department announcements). The highest point on the highway, Hashilegen Daban, stands at 3,400 meters above sea level, offering snowy views in summer and vibrant autumn foliage, making it a ‘must-visit’ for photographers.
Yizhao Highway:Spanning 180 kilometers, it is known as the ‘Mini Duku’ and serves as an alternative to the Duku Highway. Open from June to September in 2026, it passes through attractions such as Baishi Peak, Wild Wolf Valley, and Zhaosu Grassland. The highway’s biggest highlight is the ’80-kilometer bend,’ featuring continuous hairpin turns alongside cliffs. Driving requires caution, but with a customized group tour vehicle, a professional driver can handle it, allowing tourists to focus on enjoying the scenery outside the window.
