The region is also known for it's innate magical energy, Having many mystical things about it, Such as the water having certain medicinal properties naturally or the dome of magical energy surrounding the region.
While not a lot of famous figures live here, The most well known one is the famed Monkey King, Sun Wukong. He has a home high up on a karst that is fairly known about, But he is almost never there, Instead usually hanging on another karst or in the forests. Watch out when you're traveling the forests alone, If you don't run into a Jiangshi first, Wukong will almost certainly be able to pull a prank on you.
Many of the towns are on the ground level, Along with the lakes. But there are much to see on the karsts.
