Detail of the entrance
There is a small village next to the Xiao chang Dadong, it is in southwest of ShiChao.
Location is 252°from ShiChao, distance is 2.1km. A blind valley is at west side of the village. This valley has limestone cliff on the south side. The valley has a stream that flows to sinkhole in front of entrance. The big entrance is open to northwest in the cliff. The size is 60•20m.
Because the pattern of the rock on entrance looked like the smoke from an incense burner, so this name have been given The stone monument is near the cave. A small fissure cave is beside of the monument.
It will rise before long though the ceiling at the entrance is low. There is pit. We didn’t go down it but the passage might continue because a warm wind blows.

It is -30°slope that is falling rocks when entering entrance. The entrance has the effect that shape that it narrows ahead and the angle of the rock look deeper than the reality. Mud is attached to the wall when getting off by about 20m. There is an underground lake where all width is covered with water. The mud of the wall is shown that water must rise by 2m or more. It takes the boat here ahead. There might be 5m or more depth. There is no flow in the
