Guizhou has most World Heritage Sites in China

Known for its beautiful natural environment, Guizhou contains a total of four World Heritage Sites, including Libo Karst, Chishui Danxia, Shibing Karst and Fanjing Mountain. This is more than any other province in China.

Libo Karst in Guizhou's Libo county, Qiannan Bouyei and Miao autonomous prefecture, is a perfect example of typical South China Karst, a type of land formation that extends through Chongqing, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan.

Libo Karst contains the world's largest Karst old-growth forest which showcases the area's geomorphological evolution. The unique ecosystem and Karst landscapes of Libo made it Guizhou's first World Heritage Site in 2007.

Located in Tongren city, Fanjing Mountain has a rare subtropical ecosystem and is teeming with wildlife. It became China's 53rd and Guizhou's 4th World Heritage Site in July 2018.

Guizhou is currently preparing to apply for World Heritage Site status for the Triassic period dinosaur ortyctocoenosis in Guanling Bouyei and Miao autonomous county, Xingyi city and Panzhou city.

An application to make the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Anshun city a World Cultural Landscape is also currently ongoing.
