This paper, through a comparison, finds out Guilin karst different from the other three ones, peak forest (isolated peaks) plain and peak wash, where is a typical case of majestic karst resort from wet tropical zone to sub-tropical zone low elevation area, as a supplement to world natural heritage south China karst types and distribution. So it is necessary for Guilin karst area to be applied for world natural heritage as a supplement to “South China Karst”.

摘要：

2007年，贵州荔波、云南石林、重庆武隆3个地区组成的“中国南方喀斯特”被列入世界自然遗产，而桂林作为世界著名的喀斯特景观游览区却没有列入申报地之中。本文通过对比分析，发现桂林喀斯特区具有区别于其他三地的喀斯特景观特征，即峰林（孤峰）平原和峰丛洼地，是世界上湿润热带到亚热带低海拔地区喀斯特景观最壮观的范例，是对世界遗产“中国南方喀斯特”类型与分布特征的有力补充。因此，有必要将桂林喀斯特区作为“中国南方喀斯特”的扩展地申报世界遗产。
