Grottes et karsts de Chine
Sur les traces de Xu Xiake

Take road west from Tianxing. Go 30 minutes to the last village with graveyards at the entrance. Drop down the path into the valley. Follow the valley downwards to to an area of bushes. The 10 x 15m doline is in the bushes
Shaft which starts off narrow (1-2m wide) but widens further down. Dry to start but main shaft starts to get damp at -17m. At -145m pitch lands near a small stream and loads of gravel. Downstream ends too tight. Upstream leads to a short climb, followed by an aven, then tight uphill passage before becoming too tight again. Very muddy, disappointing finale, but lovely shaft.
