Subterranean marvels

By Li Yang | China Daily | Updated: 2018-02-15 08:26

The longevity of Bama people, to some extent, distracts the attention of visitors from its picturesque karst landscape, especially the caves.

The most popular one is Baimo Cave, or the Cave of a Hundred Dev-ils. Although rather than being the abode of malevolent spirits, it was home to serpents, bats and boars before it was discovered.

The cave is a sinkhole, a saucer-shaped surface depression pro-duced when underlying limestone dissolves, or when caves collapse. It is 80 meters high and 70 meters wide on average, and the tourist route within the sinkhole is more than 4 kilometers long.
