The South China Karst region is an area that extends across an area of close to half a million square kilometers in the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi in China. They represent one of the most spectacular karst landscapes in the world, comprising the humid tropical to the subtropical terrain. Within this region of karst landscape includes the Shilin stone forest. Also included are the Libo Karst and Wulong Karst. Together, the South China Karst region is regarded as unrivalled in terms of diversity of its karst features and landscapes.
The South China Karst region was inscribed as a World Heritage Site during the 31st session of the World Heritage Committee in Christchurch, New Zealand, from 23 June to 2 July, 2007. The inscribed core zone covers an area of 47,588 hectares, with a buffer zone of 98,428 hectares.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
