The South China Karst, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, spread across China's southern provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan. The region of south China is particularly noted of its karst features and landscapes as well as rich biodiversity. The site comprises three clusters: Libo Karst, Shilin Karst and Wulong Karst. UNESCO describes the South China Karst as "unrivalled in terms of the diversity of its karst features and landscapes."[1]
