Shui and Bala Dong
Just beyond Liao Ping Dong is a closed depression where three entrances unite at a 15m diameter phreatic tube (Figure 10). A couple of free-climbable drops lead to a decorated chamber with a steep slope down to the left which terminates at the edge of a 26m pitch. This pitch can be overlooked by climbing from the chamber up to a 20m rocky pinnacle.
At the bottom of the 26m pitch a muddy slope leads to the final lake with no way on at the far side.
