China's spectacular caves. They have also put up an interesting web site ( 
China's Super Caves) that includes both text articles and videos of SW China's 
spectacular karst. This site is a portal to several articles and videos, 
including The Karsts of China . Take your time and explore this site. Check out 
the Featured Videos and Related buttons. 



The central video features British cavers Andy Eavis and Peter Smart, 
photographer Carstin Peters, and a host of younger sports. 



Rock climbers have been exploring these areas (in many places before the 
cavers. There are several sequences around Yangshuo, especially on Moon Hill SW 
of town.
