Hello,
I grew up in Beijing and moved to US when I was 12. I havn't been back to China since and my native language is pretty rusty.

but I will be going to China for a month this summer (july). I plan to be in Beijing for a week and then travel around China. I'm more interest in natural sceneries than big cities, and i'm planning to visit tian shan, huang shan.

Does anyone have other suggestions of beatiful natural spots around china that I could visit?

thank you!

ps. i'll be traveling with my girlfriend, who doesn not speak any chinese

Renu,
Don't miss "Jiuzhaigou" & "Fairy Pool" when you are in Sichuan. They are my number ones in term of natural scenaries. Should also visit "Huang Long". I was told that it is even more beautiful than "Fairy Pool".
