| The huge karst area of South China is about 550,000 km2 in extent. | UNESCO |
| The karst terrain displays a geomorphic transition as the terrain gradually descends about 2000 meters over 700 kilometers from the western Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (averaging 2100 meters elevation) to the eastern Guangxi Basin (averaging 110 meters elevation). | UNESCO |
| The region is recognized as the worldxe2x80x99s type area for karst landform development in the humid tropics and subtropics. | UNESCO |
| The World Heritage Property of South China Karst is a serial property that includes seven karst clusters in four Provinces: Shilin Karst, Libo Karst, Wulong Karst, Guilin Karst, Shibing Karst, Jinfoshan Karst, and Huanjiang Karst. | UNESCO |
| The Shilin Karst component is in Yunnan province and contains stone forests with sculpted pinnacle columns and is considered the world reference site for pinnacle karst. | UNESCO |
| Shilin Karst consists of two core areas surrounded by a common buffer zone. | UNESCO |
| The Libo Karst component is in Guizhou province and includes high conical karst peaks, intervening deep enclosed depressions (cockpits), sinking streams and long underground caves. | UNESCO |
| The area is considered a world reference site for cone karst. | UNESCO |
| The Wulong Karst component is in Chongqing province and consists of high inland karst plateaux that have experienced considerable uplift. | UNESCO |
| The Guilin Karst component in Guangxi province is located within Lijiang National Park and contains fenglin (tower) and fengcong (cone) karst formations. | UNESCO |
| Guilin Karst is divided into two sections: the Putao Section with an area of 2,840 hectares and a buffer zone of 21,610 hectares and the Lijiang Section with an area of 22,544 hectares and a buffer zone of 23,070 hectares. | UNESCO |
| The Shibing Karst component in Guizhou province includes dolomitic karst formations and is located within Wuyanghe National Park. | UNESCO |
| Shibing Karst has an area of 10,280 hectares and a buffer zone of 18,015 hectares. | UNESCO |
| The Jinfoshan Karst component is a unique karst table mountain surrounded by towering cliffs. | UNESCO |
| Jinfoshan Karst is located in Chongqing province within the boundaries of the Jinfoshan National Nature Reserve and Jinfoshan National Park. | UNESCO |
| The Huanjiang Karst component is a cone karst area located in Guangxi Province within the boundaries of the Mulun National Nature Reserve. | UNESCO |
| The South China Karst World Heritage property protects a diversity of spectacular and iconic continental karst landscapes, including tower karst (fenglin), pinnacle karst (shilin) and cone karst (fengcong), as well as other karst phenomena such as Tiankeng karst (giant dolines), table mountains and gorges. | UNESCO |
| The karst features and geomorphological diversity of the South China Karst are widely recognized as among the best in the world. | UNESCO |
| The region can be considered the global type-site for three karst landform styles: fenglin (tower karst), fengcong (cone karst), and shilin (stone forest or pinnacle karst).The landscape also retains most of its natural vegetation, which results in seasonal variations and adds to the outstanding aesthetic value of the area. | UNESCO |
| The property contains the most spectacular, scientifically significant and representative series of karst landforms and landscapes of South China from interior high plateau to lowland plains and constitutes the worldxe2x80x99s premier example of humid tropical to subtropical karst: one of our planetxe2x80x99s great landscapes. | UNESCO |
| It complements sites that are also present in neighbouring countries, including Viet Nam, where several World Heritage properties also exhibit karst formations. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (vii): The South China Karst World Heritage property includes spectacular karst features and landscapes, which are both exceptional phenomena, and of outstanding aesthetic quality. | UNESCO |
| It also includes Guilin, which displays spectacular tower karst and internationally acclaimed fenglin riverine landscapes, Shibing Karst, which has the best known example of subtropical fengcong karst in dolomite, deep gorges and spine-like hills often draped with cloud and mist, and Jinfoshan Karst, which is an isolated island long detached from the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau, surrounded by precipitous cliffs and punctured by ancient caves. | UNESCO |
| Huanjiang Karst provides a natural extension to Libo Karst, contains outstanding fengcong features and is covered in almost pristine monsoon forest. | UNESCO |
| Shilin and Libo are global reference areas for the karst features and landscapes that they exhibit. | UNESCO |
| The stone forests of Shilin developed over 270 million years during four major geological time periods from the Permian to present, illustrating the episodic nature of the evolution of these karst features. | UNESCO |
| Libo also contains a combination of numerous tall karst peaks, deep dolines, sinking streams and long river caves. | UNESCO |
| Wulong represents high inland karst plateaus that have experienced considerable uplift, with giant dolines and bridges. | UNESCO |
| Huanjiang Karst is an extension of the Libo Karst component. | UNESCO |
| Together the two sites provide an outstanding example of fengcong karst and also preserve and display a rich diversity of surface and underground karst features. | UNESCO |
| Guilin Karst is considered the best known example of continental fenglin and provides a perfect geomorphic expression of the end stage of karst evolution in South China. | UNESCO |
| Guilin is a basin at a relatively low altitude and receives abundant allogenic (rainfed) water from surrounding hills, leading to a fluvial component that aids fenglin development, resulting in fenglin and fengcong karst side-by-side over a large area. | UNESCO |
| Scientific study of karst development in the region has resulted in the generation of the xe2x80x98Guilin modelxe2x80x99 of fengcong and fenglin karst evolution. | UNESCO |
| Shibing Karst provides a spectacular fengcong landscape, which is also exceptional because it developed in relatively insoluble dolomite rocks. | UNESCO |
| Shibing also contains a range of minor karst features including karren, tufa deposits and caves. | UNESCO |
| Jinfoshan Karst is a unique karst table mountain surrounded by massive towering cliffs. | UNESCO |
| It represents a piece of dissected plateau karst isolated from the Yunnan-Guizhou-Chonqing plateau by deep fluvial incision. | UNESCO |
| Jinfoshan records the process of dissection of the high elevation karst plateau and contains evidence of the regionxe2x80x99s intermittent uplift and karstification since the Cenozoic. | UNESCO |
| It is a superlative type-site of a karst table mountain. | UNESCO |
| The components of the serial property have within their boundaries all the necessary elements to demonstrate the natural beauty of karst landscapes. | UNESCO |
| Part of Libo Karst is within a national nature reserve. | UNESCO |
| Traditional management by minority peoples is an important element in management of a number of components, and the relationship between karst and the cultural identity and traditions of minority groups, including for example the Yi (Shilin), the Shui, Yao and Buyi (Libo) and Jinfoshan bamboo harvesters requires continued recognition and respect in site management. | UNESCO |
