You are no need to look to the sky to revel in the mysteries of the unknown as our own planet is full of them. There exists a lot of uncharted territory on earth about which we still know surprisingly little. A giant ancient forest 630 feet below the surface of a sinkhole have discovered by the Scientists in China’s Leye-Fengshan Global Geopark in 2022. Before you see what’s inside, you better hold on tight! The region is home to the world’s longest natural bridge and caves, according to UNESCO.

"In addition, between these two subterranean rivers the Buliuhe River was formed. Around these rivers, it formed numerous karst geosites including high karst peak clusters (fengcong), poljes, karst springs, karst windows (tiankengs), natural bridges, extensive caves, massive cave chambers and speleothems." "It also features fault zones, minor folds, giant panda fossils, a Neogene stratigraphic section and other fossils. "The UNESCO Global Geopark clearly displays the developmental stages of tiankengs and high fengcong karst. It contains the world's most beautiful karst windows, the highest density of tiankengs and largest cave chambers known in the world and the world's longest natural bridges."
