What's a karst?

I haven't been to Mianyang, but lived in Sichuan for 2 years. You'd have to get at least 2 hours out of Chengdu to get away from Chengdu's pollution.

The town I lived in Sichuan (Nanchong) wasn't bad except for the oil refinery across the street from the university.

However, Sichuan can get depressing for someone with Seasonal Affective Disorder (all those clouds).

Good food though

karst hills..... you've seen them if you've ever been in guangxi, yangshuo and guilin area.

i spent part of the spring festival (two weeks) in panzhihua (south sichuan) this year. while there are plenty of factories there, the place was surprisingly clean, warm and sunny every day, unlike zhengzhou.

Karsts: Bizarrely shaped almost vertical limestone rock formations of which there are tens of thousands on the plains around Guilin and Yangshuo.

Originally formed from the remains of undersea coral reefs a view of some karsts along the Li Jiang river near Xing Ping betweeen Guilin and Yangshuo can be seen on the back of a 20 Yuan note.

They are very popular with rock climbers. Yangshuo is reputed to be the fastest growing climbing centre in Asia.
