In 2007 ,South China Karst was listed in the World Natural Heritage Site.
South China Karst includes three places in China,they are:
Stone Forest in Yunnan
In Yunnan, Shilin is a must-see tourist attraction second only to Shangri-la adventure.
Shilin 石林, literally Stone Forest, is a notable set of karst formations in Shilin County, in the Yunnan province of southwest China, approximately 85 km from the city of Kunming. The tall rocks seem to emanate from the ground in the manner of stalagmites, with many looking like trees made of stone, creating the illusion of a forest made of stone.

A newly included natural scenery and hiking highlight in the UNESCO World Heritage List is the Wulong Karst. It has become one of the major attractions around Chongqing for people interested in primitive scenic areas, gorges, wildlife and caves. Wulong is one of the regions named on the World Heritage List’s South China Karst. Other areas named are Libo Karst and Shilin Karst. Three sites in Wulong are thought to be the most important.
