Er Dao Qiao
A hot spring resort. A private room with a pool may entail a wait of up to a few hours, while a public pool is available immediately. A bit rough on the edges but this place is very affordable and its the real deal offering great medicinal benefits. Bring your own towel.
Mugecuo
National park containing lakes, forests, mountains, hikes, hot springs and grasslands. The entrance price is rather high by Chinese standards but it still well worth the literally breathtaking views. This is wild man's lake in Tibetan and you will be going up high to see the glory of the unspoiled alpine world. If you venture up in winter via taxi ¥200 one way you most likely will be the one and only guests in the park with it all to yourself. You can practice your Mandarin or Tibetan with the local staff who just love visitors at this time of year essentially giving you a private tour of the whole park. Bring sunscreen and warm clothing. Internal bus circuits the park from the lake down to the valley every 30 min.
