The region is primarily spread over the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou . In the southwest, the Yungui is a true plateau with relatively flatter highland areas, while in the northeast, the Yungui is a generally mountainous area of rolling hills, gorges, and karst topography . </P> <P> Under the most strict definition, the Yungui Plateau stretches from the Red River Fault in Yunnan in the southwest to the Wuling Mountains in Hunan in the northeast . This plateau region includes most of eastern Yunnan and most of Guizhou . It is common, however, for much of the rest of Yunnan and surrounding highland areas to be referred to as part of the Yunnan--Guizhou Plateau even where there are no pleateau - like characteristics . </P>
