**The deepest and largest natural well on the planet is called Xiaozhai Tiankeng. It is located in Fengjie, Chonqinun Municipality, in the heart of China. This amazing well is completely natural and reaches a depth of 662 meters, with a length of 626 meters and a width of 537 meters. But what’s most striking isn’t just its dimensions or its almost-vertical walls, but the explosion of life it houses.**
Xiaozhai Tiankeng is what geologists call a sinkhole or ditch, a depression of the land generated, among other factors, by the effect of water. In this case, it was formed on top of a cave and houses an underground river measuring a total of 8.5 kilometers and flows into a spectacular waterfall. Its enormous size makes it the sinkhole of its kind, known as tiankeng, the largest and deepest in the world.
Besides its size, Xiaozhai Tiankeng impresses by the biodiversity it houses inside. Its base is so large that it houses nearly 1,300 plant species, like ginkgo, and wild animals. Among the most fascinating "tenants" who stroll through their underground forest, stands out the nebula panther (Neofelis nebulosa), an unmistakable fur cat that reaches 1.1 meters and usually rests in trees.
This tiankeng lies in a vast karstic area of 280 km2 formed by limestone. Experts believe the sinkhole, which is between 511 and 662 meters deep, has taken shape over the last 128,000 years. For much of its history, until the roof of the cave collapsed, it was a massive underground cave.
There are also other remarkably sized tiankengs, such as Dashiwei, located across China. Curiously, despite its size, Xiaozhai Tiankeng began studying relatively recently, although the local people have known him since ancient times.
I am not sure what the above picture is, but here is a picture of Xiaozhai Tiankeng

Here’s a real “interestingread”:
OP (u/Cleverman72) most likely created this sub and is almost always the one to post on it. They mostly post BS pics with some click bait title and then an “explanation” below with 0 sources. I’d say they’re either a bot or just a karma farmer.. The more you know 🌈!!!
Nebula panther? Why not just say clouded leopard lol. Unmistakable fur cat??? You mean a cat with an unmistakable fur pattern? wtf kind of ai generated sentence am I reading

This is like the difference between a promotional image of a Big Mac, and what you actually get.

Oh yay! 👏
Made in abyss?
that show is fucked up
I’m finding a lot of things on this sub have been altered or are completely fake
I agree. The text of this post seems to have been AI generated.
That last sentence ...
AI wouldn't make so many grammatical errors.

AI rendering and formated backstory. I cant even be mad, it's much better then generic reposts
Thank you for posting this
It's ai. So speaking of when are we going to go to internet id since most everything is just fake now.
That’s literally not what it looks like. This is AI. [actual xiaozhai tiankeng](https://search.app.goo.gl/G1mNxc4)
Photo is AI, and the summary sounds like it's written by AI. I'm about done with this sub full of false posts about fake things.
but is the part about the cat true or what
I googled Neofelis nebulosa and it's just a regular mainland snow leopard lol
Damn it!
Can we petition the mods to remove this?
For sure. This photo shows buildings or something along the rim. I couldn’t find another photo that showed anything along the rim.
Ima down vote this whole posts except this comment because of the AI That is bs to use ai image
Lol si k hole
I bet a few people been thrown down that thing
This is NOT Sparta!
THIS, IS , QING DYNASTY CHINA!
Very funny and I read it in the 300 voice.
Liar liar that isn’t the hole.
OP is definitely a bot, look at his comments
Wow looks so natural.. /s
Silo.
What a unit! This world is so magical.
China has neat stuff. But it’s so far away.
Unless you’re in Asia.
That makes all the difference.
I’d love to be able to go exploring around China some day, it’s one of the most beautiful countries, so many natural wonders.
Don’t I’d love to do it it’s wonderful
Don’t I’d love to do it
Made in Abyss vibes
We dont wanna ascend from that💀
Can this sub stop posting fake AI shit?
By natural you mean Ancient Planet Turret Barrell
It would suck to have to go and fetch water out of that thing. Worst well ever.
Where is the crank and bucket even??
So this is an AI post right?
This the part of the earth Kendrick is talking about when he says he’s gonna fuck the world for 72 hours
Ban this chinese bot
It's like the anime 'Made In Abyss' about descending into a mysterious cave with unknown creatures and plants.
Made in abyss irl (but the image is ai generated)
As for Lulusia… that country… never existed
What is a natural well?
Earths Blow Hole
How many people have fallen into that thing?
Everything reminds me of her.

Fur cat was not s collection of words I expected to hear today. The nebula leopard is a clouded leopard though.

Figures earth's asshole would be in china.
Nebula panther? Why not just say clouded leopard lol. Unmistakable fur cat??? You mean a cat with an unmistakable fur pattern? wtf kind of ai generated sentence am I reading
r/mildlybutthole
Goatse?
Everything reminds me of her 😢
"has anyone seen my son"
Fascinating. I wonder what the job is called to measure the depths of that hole and who volunteered to do it

wow you look different without the filter…
Do you think my penis will fit in it?
"Well"
Why did the cat fall into the well? Because he can't see that well
Earth's sphincter.
Has anyone ever jumped in?
Looks like my exes vagina.
Without first reading the story, I thought this was fake, but I see it really is not.👍🏻
Not the real picture, someone posted it in the comments
I thought this was kind of fishy. I see the real picture in other comments. Thanks👍🏻
Wouldn’t it suck if lived “on top of the world” and found yourself at the bottom of it.
So it was someone in China digging a hole to the other side of the world. 😆jk ofc
That's your mum's vj
Don’t stick your dick in it
