Xiaozhai Tiankeng

Xiaozhai Tiankeng

Xiaozhai Tiankeng (GPS: 30.75055, 109.47; 小寨天坑) is the world's deepest sinkhole. It is located in Fengjie County, in Chongqing Municipality of China. The sinkhole measures 626 meters (2054 feet) long, 537 meters (1762 feet) wide and between 511 and 662 meters (1677 and 2172 feet) deep. The name Xiaozhai Tiankeng literally translates as "little village heavenly pit". It was formed by an underground river which is still flowing underneath the sinkhole. The underground river starts in the Tianjing fissure gorge. It reaches a vertical cliff and becomes a 46-meter (151-foot) waterfall that empties into the Migong River.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
