Picchi e grotte nella regione autonoma di Guangxi Zhuang

Karst Peaks & Caves

Guangxi’s karst topography features a dense concentration of limestone formations, including the region's highest peak, Kitten Mountain, which serves as the source of the Li River. The landscape is defined by 'fenglin' (peak forest) and 'fengcong' (peak cluster) formations. This selection includes the subterranean river systems of Crown Cave, the natural karst skylights of Sanmenhai, and elevated viewpoints like Xiang Gong Shan that overlook the winding river valleys.
