Features of dissolving limestone are common and varied in southern China's sprawling Karst formations. For many travelers, the Maling Gorge is more impressive than the Huangguoshu waterfall. These gorges can reach a depth of 100 meters in certain locations. For the spectacular landscapes that Gorge offers, it is possible to go rafting on the upper part of the throat.
