Lesser-known Scenic Spot in Shaanxi | The Most Beautiful Sinkhole in the World—Chanjia Rock Sinkhole in Hanzhong

Hanzhong Ningqiang County Chanjia Rock Sinkhole 📍Located at the junction of Luoshui Cave Village and Huoshizi Village in Chanjia Rock Town. As it has maintained a good natural state, it is a geological relic in Hanzhong Sinkhole that has not been disturbed or destroyed by humans, integrating sinkholes, underground rivers, caves, canyons, etc. From the air, the whole sinkhole is shaped like half a gourd, with a long axis of 460 meters, a short axis of 310 meters, and a depth of nearly 300 meters. It is known as the sixth largest sinkhole in the world and the most beautiful sinkhole in the world. At present, 49 caves have been preliminarily identified in the sinkhole. Sinkholes are formed by the collapse of caves formed by long-term erosion of underground rivers in carbonate rocks. There are primitive forest areas and waterfalls in the pit. In addition to discovering rare plants, there are also flying cats. In addition, there are karst caves at the bottom of some pits, and there are stalactites, stalagmites, stone fields, and stone pearls in the caves. 🚌One-day tour itinerary: Xi'an North Station - Ningqiang South Station - Hanging Wall Highway - Ground Cave River Sinkhole - Ningqiang South Station - Xi'an North Station 06:20 Meet at Xi'an High-speed Railway Station 06:50 Take D6851 high-speed train to Ningqiang (06:50-08:43) 08:50 Take a car to the Hanging Wall Highway 10:30 Arrive at the Hanging Wall Highway, check in and take photos 11:30 Take a car to Chanjia Rock Ground Cave River Sinkhole 12:20 Arrive at Chanjia Rock Farmhouse for lunch and rest 13:00 Explore the Ground Cave River Sinkhole (5 kilometers round trip, 3 kilometers round trip for cave exploration) 17:00 Take a car back to Ningqiang South Station 19:30 Arrive at Ningqiang South Station, the trip ends happily 🚅Recommended train: Going: D6851 Xi'an North Station-Ningqiang South Station (06:50-08:38) Return: D1950 Ningqiang South Station-Xi'an North Station (20:32-22:23) ‼️Special instructions: ①Must-have before exploring the pit: mountain shoes (anti-slip sports shoes)/mountain sticks/headlights ②The underground river in the sinkhole is relatively cold, everyone brings an extra warm clothing ③Some sections of the sinkhole need to wade, bring an extra pair of pants, shoes, socks, and change after leaving the sinkhole ④If conditions permit, it is recommended to wear wading shoes (fully enclosed and not afraid of wading) ❣️About us.
