Limestone karst landscape. Aerial view of limestone peaks that have formed as the surrounding rock has eroded away due to carbonic acid in rainwater. Limestone landscapes sculpted in this way are called karst landscapes. Here,vegetation is growing on the peaks,and town buildings and villages and farms occupy the land between the peaks. At left is the Li Jiang River. This view looks south from the television mast in the town of Yangshuo,Yangshuo County,Guangxi Province,China. The television mast is itself on top of a karst peak.
