Dear Cheryl,
Warmest greetings from Sophie , Top China Travel!
Thank you very much for your inquiry.
When you mentioned that this is your first time visit to China, I gues you have already visited to some highlight China tourism cities, such as, Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Shanghai, Hong Kong, even did Yangtse River Cruise.
Then when you re-visit to China, what you consider will be some remote place with good view and special culture, or some less famous city, but with beautiful view. Anyway, I am delighted to introduce some routes to you so that you could decide according to on your family’s interests and traveling season.
Landscape and natural view:
Jiuzhaigou valley and Huanglong, which are fairyland in China. Best time to visit is Autumn in China, but the best suitable time is from July to October.
Zhangjiajie which is famous for good natural view and mountainous view, best time to visit from April to October. But Winter is also ok because you could see different view
Mt. Huangshan and surrounding villages, such as Xidi and Hongcun. You could visit to Mt. Huangshan at different season for different view.
Natural view with Minority culture
Yunnan Province--- Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-la. Kuming is spring city with good weather all the year round. It is capital of Yunnan province, famous for Stone forest. Generally speaking, it is just arranged a transit city. You could see Bai Minority culture, building in Dali as well as the natural view at Erhai Lake and Mt, Cangshan. Lijiang is famous for its own Dongba Culture and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as well as Tiger Jumping Gorge. Shangri-la is a Tibetan area, where you could see Tibetan culture and monastery. The natural view of highland and Putatso National Park is charming.
Every time is ok to visit Yunan Province
Tibet is a attractive and mysterious place for many people due to its special religion, culture and highland natural view. If you visit to Tibet, it is better to visit it on April to October to avoid the sever weather condition in winter.
Culture and Silk Road
You could go from Lanzhou to Zhangye-Jiayuguan-Dunhuang-Turpan-Urumqi-Karshigar.
It also depends on how many dates you could travel in China. China is vast, it is easy to find place to visit if you have time.
