Grottes et karsts de Chine
Sur les traces de Xu Xiake

Head east along the road from Tianxing. Take the Mi Dong road. At the first major valley follow the road until you reach the far side, then follow paths down.
Obscure, overgrown 1m diameter hole down next to a path. At the top one wall is chert, the other limestone. At a depth of 3m the way down is choked with loosely compacted mud and rocks, but continuing passage can be seen through a very narrow slot. It looks as though the walls widen out lower down, and stones rattle for a few metres. It is probably easily digable (take two people, digging implement, hammer, and bucket.) Draughts outward on a cool night. Sound of water.
