Opening time: early August 2015

Full length : 10.9 kilometers

Road type: two-lane secondary highway

Road introduction:

The exclusive passenger highway from Xingshan Gufu Town to Zhaojun Town is the first " "The most beautiful water highway". It not only solves the travel difficulties of local villagers, but also promotes the development of industries and tourism along the route. It is also a vivid practice of the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are valuable assets", and has become a well-known tourism brand in Xingshan. The Guzhao Highway is an ecological and environmentally friendly road on the water. At the beginning of its construction, in order to avoid clearing mountains and deforestation and protect the ecological environment, the plan of tunneling through mountains and building roads was abandoned, and it was decided to use bridges instead of roads.

Xingshan’s “most beautiful water highway” has not only become a tourist attraction in western Hubei. This "water highway" is like a giant dragon, forming a unique and beautiful scenery with the surrounding green mountains and streams. This highway connects Baidi City, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Zhaojun's hometown, Shennongjia, Wudang Mountain and other beautiful scenery.

Viewing Guide

Broadcast driving route suggestions

Considering that you are driving on the "most beautiful water highway", you may not be able to appreciate it due to the viewing angle and field of view. The best scenery, so we designed a tourist route starting from the "Most Beautiful Water Highway" and returning by the old S321 National Highway. See the picture, the blue route (water highway) and the yellow route (National Highway 321) around the Xiangxi River.

Bridge Museum

After getting on the highway, we saw mountains on the bank, and the car was driving at the bottom of the valley, surrounded by clouds and mist. The Yiba Expressway is known as the "Bridge Museum" and passes through several so-called very large bridges. On the expressway, with guardrails on both sides and a flat road, there is no feeling at all. It is estimated that you can only appreciate the magnificence of the viaduct when you go down to the S321 provincial highway that circles, twists and turns around the Yiba Expressway.
