Chen Lixin, leader of the Guangxi 702 cave expedition team, said the ancient trees growing at the bottom are nearly 40 m (131 feet) high, and the dense shade plants are up to one’s shoulders.
Zhang said that there are three big caves in the wall, which are presumed to be the remains of the early evolution of the sinkhole.
