Epic sinkhole, beautiful scenery

Le Ye Da Shi Wei Sinkhole is like a magnificent epic written by nature. It is located in Baiyanjiao Village, Tongle Town, Leye County, Baise City, Guangxi. It was formed about 65 million years ago and is a rare tourist wonder in the world. It is a combination of danger, wonder, steepness, majesty, beauty, and elegance, and is praised as "the world's first wonder" and "the world's karst holy land." From the air, the three peaks of the Da Shi Wei Sinkhole stand in opposition to each other, forming a unique "underwater cloud" landscape, and mysterious Buddha light often appears, which is amazing. On the highest cliff of the sinkhole, a natural, complete, and clearly visible "map of China" is a masterpiece of nature. At the bottom of the sinkhole under the map, there is the world's largest underground virgin forest, covering an area of about 96,000 square meters, like a mysterious oasis deep in the earth, with rare plants such as ancient ginkgo and tree ferns, as well as rare animals such as blind fish and white owls, living here, like a museum of rare prehistoric species. In the sinkhole, there are caves within caves, caves connected to each other, and layers of caves, such as Wasp Cave, Woodpecker Cave, and Tianbian Cave, each with its own characteristics. The caves are filled with countless stone pillars, stalagmites, stone flowers, and other scenery, forming a series of fantastic underground paintings. In addition, there are two dark rivers at the bottom of the sinkhole, one cold and one warm, called the Mandarin Duck Dark River. There are transparent blind fish in the river, golden beaches and colorful stones and huge chemical deposits on the riverbank, and a wonder called the largest underground waterfall by experts downstream of the dark river. With its unique charm, Da Shi Wei Sinkhole has won seven honors, including World Geopark, International Karst and Cave Exploration and Scientific Research Base, and National AAAA Scenic Spot, attracting countless tourists to explore and experience the magic and magnificence of nature.
