This is a landform that features a combination of isolated tower-shaped carbonate rock peaks. Based on the position, they can be divided into plain-type peak forests and valley-type peak forests. According to statistics compiled by Zhu Dehao et al., China’s karst landforms cover 125,000 km2, of which 12,000 km2 is in Guangxi Province, and 1,123 km2 is in the areas around Guilin. Xingping-Fuli is a typical example (Figs. 4 and 5).
