The residents of Leye County in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are no strangers to sinkholes. The area's 29 majestic sinkholes and underground caves have earned themselves a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. But the one explored by scientists in early May 2022 harbored an extraordinary secret — a pristinely-preserved ancient forest.

          I do hope the scientists were very clean when they went in there. Those sink holes have not be touched at all. Just letting a few wrong bugs in could destroy it.

          That’s amazing how there’s an UNDERGROUND FOREST in a SINKHOLE with a river, a lake and all that. It’s just crazy.

          Proves to show that in some cases, life can thrive in the most unlikely environments!
