From series “The most interesting UNESCO sites in China”
You can continue exploring the unique natural attractions in southern China. Very interesting karst formations are located here. They are often called the "Stone Forest". This nature reserve covers the territory of three provinces: Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou. These places have become known all over the world for their unique karst formations. They were formed here under the influence of volcanic activity, water, and wind.

South China Karst, China Travelers can admire the karst peaks tower into the sky. You can also see interesting craters and look into hidden caves. Each of them also has its own interesting features. Experienced travelers recommend visiting this reserve in late spring or summer. Green vegetation and flowers adorn its territory at this time. The reserve does not seem deserted at all, despite its peculiarity. There are many spacious green meadows here. They are surrounded by stone formations. Part of the reserve is occupied by beautiful forests.

The unique karst area is the largest on the planet today. The humid climate characteristic of this area also contributed to its formation in many ways. Some rock formations are completely devoid of any vegetation. Green growth begins to cover the other ones with the beginning of spring. Some of the landscapes that you can see in this reserve seem absolutely fantastic and unnatural. Absolutely all bridges, caves, and craters formed naturally. It's very hard to believe this at first glance. Next - Chengjiang Archeological Preserve
