A mysterious sinkhole group in Yunnan, with 32 people living at the bottom, has been isolated from the world for 60 years and has become a scenic spot among network celebrities.

This is the travel and wandering pavilion of potatoes, and watch the world with me.

China is a country rich in tourism resources, and it also benefits from rich and complex landforms. For example, there are countless majestic snow-capped mountains in the western plateau, and various mountain landforms can not only create many amazing Panshan highways, but also form huge sinkholes in them. Some sinkholes are bottomless, just like a huge stone bucket with secrets. In fact, some sinkholes are not formed by meteorite impact or natural forces, but a karst landform, which is a masterpiece of long-term action of running water and rocks.

In Zhenxiong County, Zhaotong, Yunnan, there is the largest tiankeng group in Yunnan discovered by the scientific research team. Tiankeng Group is1440m above sea level, 5 1 km away from Zhenxiong County, and covers an area of about 600 mu, including six tiankeng of different sizes, the largest of which is called cauldron by local people. This huge sinkhole is surrounded by cliffs and looks like a cauldron, so it is called a cauldron circle. The second largest sinkhole here is called a small pot circle, and the third largest sinkhole is called a three-pot circle. The names are all very interesting.

However, the most amazing thing is that there are 8 families and 32 people living in a semi-secluded paradise next to the caves at the bottom of Zhenxiong Tiankeng Group. The local villagers said that they have lived in it since 1953, and this residence is today. Many people want to know how food and drink come from living in such a deep place. In fact, their lives are self-sufficient. They grow corn, potatoes and other crops in the pit, and the more they harvest, they will sell them in the market and buy some life films. In order to facilitate residents to communicate with the outside world, the local government specially hardened a dirt road leading to the cave.

Now there are three bungalows and a canteen in the tiankeng, and there used to be a primary school. The reason why they moved to the cave was mainly because leprosy was frightening at that time and the local medical conditions were limited, so a large number of patients were sent to the cauldron for isolation. Later, after leprosy was eliminated, the villagers thrived here, lived in caves for so many years, got used to it and didn't want to move out. Moreover, the villagers have low material requirements. They work at sunrise every day and rest at sunset, and their lives are still happy.

The guard room, once dug halfway up the mountain to look after leprosy patients, was later transformed into a school. The classroom is actually an aisle on the edge of a cliff, only 2 meters wide and only one teacher. Although the conditions are simple, the education problem of children living in caves has been solved.

Now Zhenxiong Tiankeng Group has become a scenic spot among network celebrities. Behind Dongcun, there is a cave worth exploring. The stalactites in it are grotesque and took hundreds of thousands of years to form. If you want to visit this cave, you must pay the entrance fee of 65,438+00 yuan, and then it will promote the tourism of the village. After all, many people think that living at the bottom of the cave is a magical thing, so people visit it every day.

There are also canyons, caves, rivers and other landscapes in the Tiankeng Group, which have unique scenery and can be used for exploration, tourism and scientific research. It is said that it may be converted into a national geological park in the future. So have you been to this Zhenxiong Tiankeng Group in Yunnan? What else have you seen living in caves?
