In Guizhou's Wuling range, Fanjingshan climbs from 500 to 2,570 metres, a metamorphic-rock island amid karst country whose isolation turned it into an ark: survivors of the Tertiary period live on here, from the endemic Fanjingshan fir and Guizhou snub-nosed monkey to the endangered Chinese giant salamander and forest musk deer. Its slopes also hold the subtropics' largest continuous primeval beech forest. UNESCO inscribed Fanjingshan in 2018.
