Libo County
Libo County is a county in Guizhou popular for clear streams, waterfalls, and an emerald lake. Due to lush vegetation the air quality is unbelievably clean considering the county is in the eastern half of China.

A decade long plan to turn the county into a popular tourism destination has succeeded spectacularly, attested to by the vitality and rapid growth of the county seat.
