What are the scenic spots on Zhao Yi Highway in Xinjiang?

In northern Xinjiang, there is a civilized Duku Highway and a provincial highway called Zhao Yi Highway. This road passes through S327 Yining-Zhaosu section of Wusun Mountain Provincial Road in Yili, Xinjiang. The sections that can be called landscape roads in northern Xinjiang generally refer to Dushanzi-Kuche section, G2 18 and Beijing-Nalati section, S3 15 Baili Gallery section, G30 Sailimu Lake-Guozigou section and S237 Chabuchar-. Bian Xiao introduced Zhao Yi and expressway for the first time.

When it comes to mountains in Xinjiang, many people can blurt them out-South Kunlun and North Altai, with a Tianshan Mountain in the middle. It can be said that almost all the scenic highways in Xinjiang run around these three mountains.

Wusun Mountain is unique among the three mountain systems in the north, middle and south of Tianshan Mountain, which is far away from the main veins of various mountain systems in Tianshan Mountain. Between Wusun Mountain and the main mountain range in the southern part of Tianshan Mountain, there is a valley grassland area with a width of about 70 kilometers and a length of about 300 kilometers. This area surrounded by mountains has a total area of over 20,000 square kilometers. The Tekes River, which originates from the main peak of the Middle Tianshan Mountains, flows out from the depths of the Tianshan Mountains and flows through the whole territory from west to east. This isolated valley grassland is called the Tex River Basin. Abundant rain and natural isolation create a unique natural landscape in the Tekes River Basin. The beauty of grassland valleys and the majestic peaks of Tianshan Mountains are wonderfully integrated, so there are beautiful grasslands, winding valleys and towering peaks in Karajun and Satana.

In this valley of the Tekes River valley, there are two counties, Zhaosu and Tekes. If you want to enter the Tekes River Basin from the outside, there are only two ways to go, namely provincial road S237 and provincial road S220. These two provincial highways are both roads crossing Wusun Mountain, but the difference is that S237 passes through the highest peak of Wusun Mountain, while S220 passes through the flat valley on the east side of Wusun Mountain. As far as landscape is concerned, S237 is a little higher than S220, which is why S237 Zhao Yi Highway is called "a unique small library".

Like Dooku Highway, Zhao Yi Highway is only open to traffic in a few months in summer each year, and it takes less than four months from early June to 10, which is also the most beautiful time for Zhao Yi Highway.

Although it is called "Small Single Depot", there are still many differences between Zhao Yi Highway and Dooku Highway. As can be seen from the above picture, the scale of Wusun Mountain is much smaller than that of Tianshan Mountain. Duku Highway runs through the south-central section of Tianshan Mountain, with a total length of 562 kilometers. There are all kinds of valleys, grasslands, snow peaks, lakes, Ya Dan and deserts, but Zhao Yi Highway is obviously inferior. However, because it passes through the depths of Wusun Mountain, Zhao Yi Highway is also a beautiful and unique Zhong Ling. Baishifeng (Shayan Hada Peak) and Angre Liebing Daban on Zhao Yi Highway are as majestic, spectacular and steep as Duku Highway.

What kind of road is Zhao Yi Highway?

Zhao Yi Highway starts from Yining City, passes through Chabuchar County, passes through the highest peak of Wusun Mountain and reaches Zhaosu County. After crossing Zhaosu, it continued westward until it reached the Mouzard port on the Kazakh border, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers and numerous scenery along the way. Let's talk about it in detail.

1, Yining City? Folk Custom+Ili River+Food Yining City is the starting point of Zhao Yi Highway. As a tourist center in Xinjiang, Yining City has many places worth seeing. In Yining City, if you have free time, it is recommended to go to Hanren Street, Harqin Banner Folk Street and Yili River.

2. In addition to visiting the old bridge of Ili River, food can't be left behind. Although there are not many Laozi shops in Yining City, some old shops introduced by friends have left a deep impression on people.

YiziHaier Ice Cream, the famous "No.5 Middle School" ice cream in Yining, which is known as "Haagen-Dazs" in Yining City, is near the folk street in Harqin Banner. Suggest giving it a try.

The barbecues in Hanren Street in Yining are all good, and friends recommend going to eat a "hometown barbecue" nearby. Delicious and rich, it's worth a try.

There is a king in Xinhua Road, Tarihati Na Ren. It's delicious, with Kazakh flavor and good taste. Explain to friends outside Xinjiang what Na Ren is. Well, the official explanation is that the hand-grabbed meat noodles are actually the "meat noodles" below. The meat can be mutton, horse meat, air-dried meat and horse intestines, which has Xinjiang characteristics.

3. Cha County? Joan Bora Forest Park? The moment Bai Shifeng set out from Yining City to Zhaosu and set foot on the Ili River Bridge, even if he officially set foot on the journey of Zhao Yi Highway, the real scenery of Zhao Yi Highway really started from the perspective before entering the mountain.

Looking at Wusun Mountain lying in front of me from a distance.

The first scenic spot on Zhao Yi Highway is a valley near Baishifeng, the second peak of Wusun Mountain, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Qiongbola Township and is named Qiongbola Forest Park (renamed Baishifeng Forest Park on 20 14). Baishifeng is the main scenic spot.

Baishifeng Forest Park, there are two roads to enter, but these two roads are not connected, and the area entering the forest park is different. One is to enter Chabuchar County and take County Road X7 17. The area at the foot of Baishifeng is a long uphill gravel road with poor road conditions. The other is to take Zhao Yi Highway to the mountainside of Baishifeng.

Baishifeng, known locally as Shayan Hada Yinding, Shayan Hada Peak and Awulie Qiaoku, is a unique stone peak on Zhao Yi Highway.

4. angelette big ice? After Baishifeng, Daban, the highest mountain in Wusun Mountain, will continue to move forward and climb a higher Daban-Anglet Bingdaban. In summer, there is still snow on the big board, and the mountain walls on both sides are steep, and vehicles are driving on the mountain walls. If it is the first time to walk this mountain road, it will be particularly thrilling.

5. Gems on the border? After Anglet Bingdaban, Zhaosu Green Lake went downhill. When entering Zhaosu County, there is a fork on the right side of the road. This is the fork to Zhaosu Green Lake, which is a small lake near the border. You need a border card to enter. This time, you didn't go in to see it. It is said that the road conditions are extremely poor. One-way needs more than 1 hour, and the round trip takes nearly 3 hours.

Maybe it's because of the bad road conditions that fewer people go. It is said that the scenery is primitive and beautiful. I didn't have a chance to go up this time because of time. I must go and see it next time. I found some photos of Cuihu on the Internet, and they look really beautiful.

6. Zhaosu County? Rape flower sea crossed the fork of Green Lake, and then walked more than ten kilometers to Zhaosu County. In fact, many people come to Zhaosu for two purposes: to take the Zhao Yi Highway and play with the Kara Army, and just to stay or pass through Zhaosu County.

In fact, there is a scenic spot worth visiting not far from Zhaosu County, Zhaosu Flower Sea.

Zhaosu county is a big rape planting county. Every July, many places in Zhaosu are full of rape flowers, but people don't know where to find them. In fact, there are some flowers not far from Zhaosu County. Just out of Zhaosu County, drive ten kilometers along S237, and you can see all kinds of flowers on both sides of the road.

7. Summer Tower Scenic Area? After crossing Zhaosu, Xiate Ancient Road continued along S237 for about 80 kilometers. There is a famous "Xiate Ancient Road" here. It is said that it is necessary to pass through Muzhartedaban on the main ridge of Tianshan Mountain. In ancient times, it was a traffic post from Yili to Aksu, and it was also the most steep passage on the Silk Road. At present, it has been built into a 4A-level scenic spot, which is a paradise for hikers.

8. What is the end of Zhao Yi Highway? The end of Zhao Yi Highway in Mouzard Port is a place called Mouzard Port, opposite to Kazakhstan. As a temporary transit point between China and the Soviet Union before 1953, Muzate Port was once a distribution center for import and export goods in border barter trade. For historical reasons, it has been closed for more than 30 years. 1In August, 1992, the Chinese and Kazakh governments signed an agreement, agreeing to open ports to allow people, vehicles and goods from China and Kazakhstan to pass through. 1994 the State Council was approved to open to the outside world in March, but it has not been opened yet.

9. The legendary ancient city? Bagua City is located in the Tekes River Basin. Besides Zhaosu County, there is also a Tex County. The famous "Bagua City" is Tekes County, and the Kara Army Scenic Area is also in Tekes County.

Starting from Zhaosu County, walk eastward along the S220 provincial road, and you will arrive at the famous Bagua City Tekes County. Anyway, you must go and see it.

10, Karajun Prairie Karajun is the largest scenic spot in the Tex River Basin, and it is also a 5A-level scenic spot. The scenic spot is really large, covering an area of about 2800 square kilometers. The core scenic spot is mainly composed of two scenic spots: Canyon (Sicarra Army) and Grassland (East Kara Army). You can buy tickets separately, but it is recommended to buy a revolving package. Karajun's famous "Beauty Buttock" scenic spot with nine twists and eighteen bends is in the "Canyon" area, and Karajun's most worthwhile scenic spot is the "Falcon Terrace" in the "Grassland" area. It is recommended to buy a package and read it all.

Finally, talk about the road conditions:

If you enter the Tekes River area, it is usually S237 and S220. But since last year, S220 began to build roads, which have not been repaired so far. At present, it is passable, but there are dozens of kilometers of gravel roads, and cars can also pass. However, it is recommended that vehicles with tire thickness less than 55 should be cautious.

At present, the road condition of Zhao Yi Highway, namely provincial highway S237, is very good. The only thing to worry about is the bad weather in the mountains. This time, from taking the Zhao Yi Highway, we met with hail. It took less than ten minutes from sunny day to hail. The peanut-sized hail lasted for more than half an hour and cleared up as soon as it came out of the mountain. The weather in the mountains is really strange.
