Excellent
If you don't have time to go to Tibet, you might enjoy going to the Potala Palace look-alike lama temple in Chengde. The summer palace and the temples are gorgeous, which make Chengde a nice destination.If coming from Beijing, you might consider stop by Jinshanling Great wall, by far the best great wall section I have been too. Very few tourists go there, I was all alone on the Great wall all along - a wonderful feeling！
