the most unexpected Zhaosu short holiday✨ This hidden gem route has taken over all my beautiful summer memories! From the magnificent Yizhao Highway to the cozy Ruiyue Hotel, feel the purest Xinjiang scenery and cultural charm～

🚗 Trip Highlights:
【Yizhao Highway】One of the most beautiful highways in Xinjiang! It passes through snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and wetlands, and every snapshot looks like a desktop wallpaper. Visiting in the golden autumn of September is even more stunning, as the poplar trees on both sides of the road turn golden yellow—breathtakingly beautiful! It’s recommended to start early in the morning when the light is perfect for photography📸

【Ruiyue Hotel, Zhaosu County】Great value for money! The rooms are clean and spacious, and the location is super convenient💯 Just a 10-minute walk to the food street, plus free parking. The front desk staff are very friendly and recommended many local hidden gems～

🔥 Must-know travel tips:
1. There are basically no restaurants along Yizhao Highway, so be sure to bring your own snacks.
2. July and August are peak travel seasons in Zhaosu, so book hotels and car rentals in advance.
3. Don’t miss the Ruiyue Hotel’s buffet breakfast, especially the milk tea and naan—so authentic!
4. Remember to bring sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, and a hat—the sun in Zhaosu is really strong.
5. Slow down when you encounter herders’ horses by the roadside🚗🐴

🍽️ Zhaosu must-try foods:
- Hand-pulled lamb rice (the "Mairdan" in Chengdong Market is the most famous)
- Halal milk tea (recommended "Xiangpiao Milk Tea Shop")
- Baked buns (5 yuan each on the street next to the hotel)
