A bustling maritime corridor filled with container ships and high-speed ferries transitioning from the South China Sea.
Guangxi Karst Landscape
Dramatic limestone 'sugarloaf' mountains and jagged peaks characteristic of the South China Karst region.
Fuxian Lake
The crystal-clear, deep blue waters of China's second deepest freshwater lake, located just south of Kunming.

Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
The dramatic transition from the low-lying coastal plains to the high-altitude, rugged terrain of western China.
