Standing on Bao Dong peak, it is able to admire magnificent limestone mountains, reflecting the topographical transformation and evolution from young karst to mature karst. The young karst landform characterized by blunt and flat peaks on high saddles with steep cliffs looks like a majestic wall. In contrast, the mature karst landform with separated karst blocks in various shapes of cones, towers, etc. on vast paddy field creates a peaceful scenery.
