Giant sinkholes also known as tiankeng, or “heavenly pits”, were discovered in southern China on June 20, 2022. The karst sinkholes, along with the sinkhole cluster, were formed by a subterranean stream. Part of the discoveries included rare plants and fossils of ancient marine animals.

The geography of the Chinese Mainland is incredibly beautiful. Such wonderful places to go explore!
It's not completely Chinese, it's Guanxi autonomous region of china making border with Vietnam. Calling it a "chinese mainland" is a big mistake and narrow-minded judgement in general
@@marzo21 Every time, _every_ _freaking_ _time,_ I make a comment on any of these videos, no matter how innocuous I think it is, *SOMEONE* always complains.
@@cody5535 bro I feel you I actually can relate, this SCMP channel got some negative energy aura frfr
@@marzo21 He’s talking about you
@@Gen3designs lol
These kinds of giant sinkholes are frequently mentioned in old Chinese novels, mostly with hidden or lost kungfu scripts where the main character will stumble upon after the villain thought they had fallen to their death. 😂😂 Guess, this kind of places is where those writers found the inspiration.
Maybe they'll find a 500 years old Ginseng there too 😂😂 It could also be a cave used when someone is Qi Deviating or in seclusion.
Who else imagine falling into one and gain some rare treasure or unimaginable kung fu
哈哈哈确实
Or found all sorts of ancient artifacts and cultivation pills lol
If I've transmigrate into those wuxia world i would probably went to sinkhole first😂😂
Hahaha, maybe they'll find some old ghost in seclusion.
Don't disturb the heavenly cultivators in their seclusive training
I see a man of culture over here....
the researchers are courting death!
This place reminded me of a Naruto episode where Hinata was super amazing and fought a giant bee.
@@crabapple. legendary line for cultivator
🤣🤣
I think China is one of the very few places on earth where prehistoric animals like dinosaurs survived while the rest perished. Some parts of China escaped the Ice Age and had micro pockets of warm terrain and lakes.
You forgot to mention Noah's Ark embarked here
As an expert on the karst science (I am editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cave and Karst Studies) I am always fascinated with any karst discoveries but become saddened when science sound bites associated with such television reports are given because they are rarely correct. In this instance the the science was basically correct but so oversimplified and somewhat misstated that I started to tear my hair out.
Can you elaborate on the science then, please?
It will be really interesting to search for prehistoric human artifacts. That region was an important stop for human migration. Ancient humans split into East Asians and Oceanians near there. We’re looking for details.
Yes and also if they find other hominid remains or clues to their existence I would be very curious!
These are not as newly discovered as claimed, as there are other videos on CZcams showing expeditions to explore them.
There are 31 sinkholes so far. This may be the newly discovered 31st.
How are these “newly discovered”? When clearly there’s urbanization rights next to them.
I mean nobody has realized it yet until now.
This channel is fascinating
Surely they were not all geologists, but also plant specialists etc.
Gosh, that's so exciting!
There might be monster in there
No no no there might be a ancient Kung Fu master in there that literally thousand year old.
@@Mr-Ad-196 😂😂
😂😂
There's an immortal residing there ins secluded meditation and if they touch that, it gon be another Egyptian mummy curse 🤣🤣
Protected places, this is part of GDP that needs protection, since it wealth to a nation, where every nation accounts theirs as well. 2022 onwards.
SO Beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that's where I stash my adult magazines
I was expecting a dragon
Does anyone know what the music is in this video or know anything similair to it?
So this is the live Action Made in Abyss beginning
So interesting!
Would love to go there
I hate you diggie! Your first skill is annoying asf….🤣🤣
Kingdom flower was found here also
Wow, it looks like one in Chong Ching, I normally go sighting seeing in China 2 times a year, last one was in Oct 2019 before pandemic began. Hopefully the country opens soon.
I think this place seems like guizhou province
@@chenguochen6044 big mistake buddy, it's autonomous region and totally not a province
What seed is that?
In order to elaborate I would need a much larger space to write it out. It is subject that has been studied for hundreds of years. The subject requires a careful assessment of the rock petrology, geochemistry of the water and bedrock, and structure of the rock formation. As I said in my previous comment, the audio was basically correct but such a massive size and formation of the sinkhole within the bedrock (as opposed to forming in the overlying sediments) is not as common, although not rare either, requires considerable discussion.
Yoooooo
The chasm irl
Hollow Earth...😱
Due to over pumped ground water lol.
❤️❤️😮China is very ahead in science ..
Beautiful place, it’s been documented and explored a little bit before but no where in the world has this amazing Chinese place. Let’s go China!
Sounds like a propaganda for me. But okay.
@@kaizendigital_id A place looking nice in a country foreign to you is propaganda?
@@kaizendigital_id sure, let's go brandon
It says "karst" sinkholes... Karst is the name of the region is Slovenia, which gave the geological phenomenon its name for apparent reasons: there are plenty of big sinkholes in Slovenia...
@@maticbukovac6966 we forgot to ask a slovenian
aespa were there
Nice video, but can you please cut out the irritating "music" ? Too loud and unnecessary. If I turn down the volume I cant hear the narration.
It's serious business.
That's the Living Dinosaur had been seal
I love China. I hope to visit one day. I want to learn Chinese so bad, but it’s hard!
So it has dinosaurs on other side or not
If you ask which country on this planet has the most type of geography? China,of course
I thought it was USA and Indonesia.
Holes going to Agartha?
Our tribe believes that we came out from caves . This could be one of them
China got such diverse vast and rich terrain yet why they are after grabbing more ?
I hope they find the long lost Chinese alien species

Hasn't seen mankind footsteps in thousans if not centuries. First humans to step on land, rocking vans........
They should probably leave these things alone and just keep it to themselves.
Why
Don't worry these are in China not America so they wont be filled with rubble.
Cause they will start consuming these "exotic" looking plants and fossils and then give birth to new disease
Tell that to the other hundreds of countries that are literally mining places in a similar calibre.
Nope.
Already been discovered just finally introduced to the public, this is their way of free information for us to trust them again.
I think the government wants the Chinese scientist to Inspect and conduct research before these foreign scientists.
0:06
Discovery
Has farms beside it
Nobody ever dares to go inside because it's a sinkhole and not every common person has equipment to explore
I'm super early for the first time!
Is this way to the Agartha?
Amazing
Please don't eat anything from there !🙏
Every time I see one of these videos, I go on Google Maps satellite view to see if I can find some sinkholes myself. But I'm never successful :-(
Those Caves could be harbouring bat's and possibly an ancient virus.
Finally, they found another potential Quarantine Site!
Do not ping inside them Leaching humans
just about time to explore prehistoric viruses
AGHARTHA IS THERE. 😊
where is Last Chang since Arabic Reja and Beijing Olympic Genocide are here???

Secret realm for fellow Daoists
completely irrelevant but why do people want to be immortals?
interesting
That hole is man made...it's obvious to a Geophysical Inspector...
Wow..China is so developing, it's crosses the galaxy
Sinkhole found in "China", actually it's Guanxi autonomous region of china a borderline of Vietnam. Lets send more Chinese specialists from Beijing to study sinkholes and completely replace local ethnicities.
But Guangxi is still part of China, the locals there are Chinese too ? Being an autonomous region doesn't make it a country. I don't understand the way you're thinking
If it's within Chinese territory then it's part of China.
It looks uninhabited anyway.
Your logic is wrong. if locals were only chinese, it would be called a province not an autonomous region. Guangxi Zhuan is a multinational region and full of zhuans - thai people of Indochina peninsula. That's one of the biggest minorities in china, which is why administratively this territory is more "special" than average province
@@marzo21 China has many ethnic groups, it's not solely Han people. Those people from Guangxi may not be Han, but they are Chinese. It is an autonomous region, but not a country. Just like Guadeloupe is French but has it's own pariament, but does that means people from Guadeloupe are not French ? No.
¡BREAKING NEWS! CHINA DISCOVERED CHINA
In China by China.
Beware of BATS! We all know what happened before,,
法輪大法好，真善忍好！好人有好報，祝大家健康平安
i hope they don't ruin this as well
Excellent place to put the communist party
We should militarise this place and install a Chinese headquarters so that in the event of a war, we can deploy troops and equipment to fight against Western invaders.
Why bother, no war is going to happen soon
What's so "heavenly" about it? "Heavenly" means finding a wonder or at least a mummy of a saint. This is called "mind-blowing discoveries" or smth. SCMP really doesn't know how to call things their names
All this free land but still want to invade a country 🤔
Size of land is not important , it’s bcs of politics and history
