I always liked winterspring, ashenvale, eversong woods, and nagrand.
Figures, the beautiful elves get 50% of the places I find pleasing to my eye.
Crystal forest under Northrendās Dalaran.
The Arcanādor.
The latter I even turned into a 30x50 diamond painting.

I like Valley of the four winds but the prettiest to me is Vashjāir or Nazjatar I really like the underwater areas I would say Macāaree gives me the same kinda vibe too.

Itās tricky. But Iād say the nicest looking zone over all is Grizzly Hills in Northrend, followed closely by Suramar.

Teldrassil is a little hot at this time of yearā¦
Easy Shadowmoon Valley TBC, the fel corruption and shades of green are really designed to sell it as a Hellscape.
Iāve always liked Teldrassil/Ashenvale as it gives the vibe of a very deep forest and itās music is mysterious as well.
But If youāre looking for updated graphics and such, Suramar.

When I first leveled a Draenai when BC was current I was very sick with flu and just couldnāt sleep. Although it is a pretty zone, to this day if I am ever there, the scenery combined with that meandering alien musical score actually makes me feel sick like itās muscle memory or something.
Yeahā¦ hot in several ways 
Grizzly Hills.

Seems like most people are aesthetically pleased by cool tone colours.
There are a lot, but one of the original places I used to go in vanilla was the cave in northern UnāGoro which is filled with glowing gems. The place just always seemed magical to me. I believe the cave survived the Cata changes, but now is infested with mobs making it a lot harder to enjoy. (It had no mobs in it back in vanilla.) So if he goes to see it, I recommend visiting it in classic where you will see itās as it was originally.
Other prominent locations, for me:
I second @Miriel for the Arboretum in the Jade Forest.
From Legion, the garden where Botinist is located in the Nighthold raid. (Iām not sure if this is accessible only inside the raid, or if itās an outdoor location as well.)
Also from Legion, Eonarās area. (This is not accessible outside the raid.)
Honestly, there are piles of gorgeous locations in WoW. Which is part of why I donāt complain when an older zone is reused for something unless itās to wreck itās original ambiance.

Winterspring (Kalimdor) will always be one of my favourite zones, visually speaking.
I also enjoyed the look of the Storm Peaks (Northrend).
What can I say? I like snowy mountains.
