The 2nd picture is one of the biggest reasons why I want to visit a place like Vietnam, which has a lot of mountain features like that.

My friend mr x guided in China specifically for rock climbing for over a year. He just got back. He's been there a few times. I hear it's great. I think he was doinkin asians for fun since he probably couldnt get laid here. But that's another story.

I could ask him for info if you really want to know.

An area of irregular limestone in which erosion has produced fissures, sinkholes, underground streams, and caverns.

named after the town or valley of Karst in Croatia. Karst is a landform associated with heavily dissected and eroded massive limestone and dolomite. In general karst takes a long time to develop thus in the recently glaciated limestone Canadian Rockies there is minimal karst. There is some cool stuff on Vancouver Island, and the Alaska panhandle though that developed rapidly because its so damn wet.

just a few additional details for the so inclined: weak acids present in rain water (carbonic acid) through dissolution of atmospheric CO2 or decompostion of organic matter react with limestone (carbonation). as expected water flows from topo highs to lows where it tends to collect (water table, etc ..), picks up more acids (where soils and vegies are) and dissolves limestone. through this positive feedback, ever more dissolution of limestone occurs in the topo lows. karst landscapes thus result from differential erosion that initially arises from small perturbations in the topography.
