The head of the expedition, Chen Li Xin from the Institute of Karst Geology, said:
"I have been to dozens of sinkholes, but this one is special. The bottom is uneven, with many secluded corners, and the vegetation is so dense that it is difficult to walk".
The entire surface of the bottom is covered with lush greenery, creating an isolated ecosystem that has developed separately from the outside world for thousands of years. Scientists are sure: unknown species of plants and animals may be hidden here—a real "lost world" underground.
🗿I wish we could build an underground data center there 😂 beautiful, technological, and pleasant ☺️
This sinkhole is one of 30+ in the unique Leifengshan Geopark (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), where the karst landscape has created dozens of similar "heavenly pits". Nature does incredible things!

In China, scientists have discovered an astonishing natural formation — a giant sinkhole about 200 meters deep, inside of which lies a true primeval forest.
At its bottom, ancient trees grow to heights of up to 40 meters — powerful, massive, and clearly having survived more than one era. However, it was not just them that surprised researchers. The entire surface of the bottom is covered with dense vegetation: the thick underbrush is so tall that it almost reaches human height.
Such a riot of greenery speaks to the existence of a secluded and unique ecosystem within the sinkhole, developing separately from the outside world. Scientists do not rule out that unknown species of plants and possibly animals may inhabit this area.
