Mid Autumn is coming up, and I'd love to go to a National Park or scenic area somewhere, but there are so many I don't even know where to begin. Does anyone have any recommendations?
So far I've considered Zhangjiajie? Or maybe Huangshan?

I wanted to see Zhangjiajie, but I felt it too much walking for me and a little pricey, which I think most parks are. In Guilin most city parks charge and in Canada they would be free. Maybe thats just me? From the reviews I've read the park in laid out so the lifts are the easiest to use at 67Y each one way. Monkeys make it difficult to eat in many areas, and the toilets are not great. The scenery is beautiful.
Zhangjiajie is pretty nice.
I agree with Ted that it requires good walking boots. But there is lots of busses inside the park, lifts etc. The only horror is the food there. Inside the park I only had utter garbage. Which is difficult in combination with lots of walking. Luckily there are plenty of people selling overpriced cola.
Bring a big bag og snacks
Huangshan is a mountain you climb by walking a (very) long stair. It's very beautiful and it does not require any special gear apart from comfortable shoes. However, it will crowded like crazy during mid-autumn break, so I would pass and try in low season. My wife have been there around April, and she had the mountain just for herself.
Meili mountain, in Yunnan, have a lot of 1 to 5 days walks. It's beautiful, wild and you won't see too many people, because it's some serious trekking. Have a good backpack and good walking shoes. Locals have rooms and cook for the trekkers. Deqen is a good starting place for the many walks you can do there.
You want to go somewhere over a holiday? Good luck and have fun! Please let us know how it was.

Hah. I know right, but sometimes you have to brave the masses.
Go to scenic areas during holiday? ok...
I think you can enjoy full moon and celebrate mid-autumn festival everywhere, even if a small park as long as it has clear good view.
