With the arrival of the 2026 summer tourism peak, two scenic highways in northern Xinjiang—Duku Highway and Yizhao Highway—have fully entered their open travel season. Many visitors choose custom car rentals to venture deep into the Yili River Valley, allowing flexible pacing while avoiding the fatigue of long self-driving trips. If you are planning a comfortable, free-spirited grassland journey with the freedom to stop for photos anytime, consider customizing an exclusive route through Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service, accompanied throughout by a professional driver-guide to effortlessly unlock the magnificent scenery of the ‘Tianshan Sky Road.’
🌄 Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Duku Highway (northern section of G217 National Highway) spans approximately 561 kilometers, connecting Dushanzi and Kuqa, with the northern section (Nalati to Dushanzi) being a popular summer route. Full traffic resumed on June 1, 2026, and road conditions are currently good, but a reservation-based passage system has been in effect since June 25: open daily from 8:00–19:00, requiring advance booking through the ‘Visit Xinjiang with One Code’ mini-program or the ‘Safe Tianshan’ and ‘Xinjiang Traffic Police’ WeChat official accounts.
Yizhao Highway (S340 Provincial Road), known as the ‘Little Duku,’ spans approximately 180 kilometers, connecting Yining City and Zhaosu County, crossing the Baishi Peak of Wusun Mountain (approximately 3,000 meters above sea level), with views of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and relics of the ancient Wusun Road along the way. The 2026 passage policy is clear: open from June 1 to October 10 (tentative), passable daily from 9:00–21:00, with night travel prohibited; recommended for small vehicles with 7 seats or fewer, with total body length (including trailers) not exceeding 6 meters. Temporary restrictions may be imposed in case of severe weather or geological disasters.
Both highways prohibit buses, trucks, motorcycles, motorhomes, and commercial vehicles, so special attention must be paid to vehicle type matching for custom car travel. A 7-seat business van is recommended, balancing space and passage compliance.
