Qingyuan in Guangdong, China
I remember seeing painting of China when I was young. They showed towering pagodas, rivers and strange mystical mountains. I didn't think they were real at the time. Now I have been to the south of China, I know that those paintings were not a work of fiction. They really do exist. They are created by a natural phenomenon that weathers limestone into what is called Karst. A large band of this Karst landscape runs down through China. It can be seeing in Guangdong, Guanxi and Yunnan provinces. There is also some spectacular Karst in the sea off of neighbouring Vietnam.
