The Xiaozhai Tiankeng hosts more than 1,200 species of plants and animals, many of which have existed for millions of years. The forest within the Leye County sinkhole may also contain new, undiscovered species, sparking excitement among researchers. The scale and complexity of these ecosystems offer rare insights into ancient environments.
Other Sinkholes in China
Another stunning sinkhole in China is the Dashiwei Tiankeng in Guangxi province. It is 1,148 feet deep, with cliffs covered in lush greenery. Visitors can walk along observation decks and marvel at the steep walls and dense vegetation below. The sinkhole’s unique ecosystem remains largely untouched.
Further afield, in Shaanxi province, the Shuanghe Tiankeng Group consists of a cluster of smaller sinkholes connected by underground rivers and caves. This area, discovered in 2016, reveals a complex system of karst formations where water erosion has carved out breathtaking chambers over millions of years.
