Xiaozhai Tiankeng

Xiaozhai Tiankeng is the largest sinkhole in the world. It is up to 662 m deep with nearly vertical walls and has a diameter of more than 600 meters. It is without doubt one of the most spectacular natural landscapes that you will ever see. “Tiankeng” is translated as "sky hole".

The bottom of the sinkhole is a micro world of the 1,285 species of plants and animals that have been found. It has many rare plants and animals, like ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba L.) and animals like the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa Griffith, 1828) and many others.

In the early times, Xiaozhai Tiankeng was inaccessible, but with the development of China over the last decade it has been opened to the public. If have a taste for exploration, you won’t regret going to Xiaozhai Tiankeng .
