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.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
