Jiuzhaigou National Park
Absolutely beautiful place, better than the pictures give it credit for. Would recommend staying in one of the hotels close to the park entrance, then taking a car or walking the 15 minutes to the entrance for when it opens (7am). Most tourists take the shuttle bus up to the top of the park and then walk down. For something resembling tranquility I would recommend skipping this and walking up to the centre of the park via the boardwalks. From the 'tourist centre' you can take the shuttle bus up to either of the lakes at the top of the park and then walk down (although this is where you will meet the droves of tourists). The park closes at 5pm so would recommend taking the bus back down to the entrance at 4.30pm. Fantastic experience, utterly breathtakingly beautiful. 10/10.

Beautiful Lake When the animals are grazing
A great place to visit which does not get inundated with tourists. The views here are excellent and often the local Tibetans allow their yaks and horses to graze leading to wonderful views and sounds. I would advise bringing a decent pair of Wellingtons or hiking boots so that you can wander through the shallow parts of the lake for fun.
