Libo
A World Natural Heritage site, where Xiaoqikong, Daqikong and the Maolan karst forest are known for emerald water and dense woods.
Libo lies in southern Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou, bordering Guangxi, and is a major component of the "South China Karst" World Natural Heritage site. The Xiaoqikong scenic area is known for its emerald pools, waterfalls and ancient bridges, while Daqikong is notable for its gorge and natural bridge, and Maolan National Nature Reserve preserves a large area of primeval karst forest. The county is also home to the Buyei, Shui, Yao and other ethnic groups. The water looks its best in spring, summer and autumn, and avoiding public holidays makes for a better visit. Libo has a civil airport, and the Guiyang–Nanning high-speed railway also has a station here.
