Sinkhole in Xuan’en County, Hubei, China
This sinkhole is near the village of Luoquanyan in China’s Hubei Province. It’s about 950ft deep and thanks to the humid climate and the sunlight beaming into the cavernous hole, plants have sprung up within. Humans can take a tour of the sinkhole and the cave system it connects to, but the only way in is a rope-assisted descent from the opening seen in this photo. Feel like exploring?
