China Karst Attractions
China Karst Attraction is a type of limestone formation.
China Karst
Large parts of south China’s karst topography, including some of the most famous tourist areas – Wu Yi mountains in Fujian, Guilin and Yangshuo in Guangxi, and many of Guizhou Province (although the karst regions of Guizhou are much less frequented by tourists). Many people think Chinese paintings of karst topography are strange stylized representations of mountains and are surprised to discover that China has made mountains that look like this.
Karst can also erode so that it forms a labyrinth of pinnacles, arches and passageways. The most famous example is in the Stone Forest (石林 shi lin), near Kunming in Yunnan.
The attraction sites consists of seven parts:
- Shilin Karst – Stone Forest Naigu
- Shilin Karst – Village Suogeyi ‘
- Libo Karst – ‘Xiaoqijong’
- Libo Karst – ‘Dongduo’
- The Wulong Karst – Giant Sinkhole Qingkou (Tiankeng)
- Wulong Karst – three natural bridges
- Wulong Karst – Furong Cave
