It&#8217;s home to towering limestone peaks, deep gorges and cascading waterfalls, but perhaps its most remarkable feature is the underground kingdom of caves that spans through its mountains and below the surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Shuanghe cave system is the biggest in Suiyang city. It stretches for more than 300 kilometers, making it the largest cave network in <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia<\/span>. Huge rock structures, deep sinkholes, and other natural structures are the most visited parts in the cave. They&#8217;ve been fitted with lights that create spectacular displays of limestone formations.<\/p>\n<p>And amazingly, they have been slowly created over the past several million years. But this brightly-lit portion of the cave is only a small fraction of the 300-kilometer-long cave system. Explorers and researchers continue to trek into the unknown reaches of this underground world, slowly adding to the ever-growing map of <span class=\"xn-location\">Guizhou&#8217;s<\/span> vast cave network.<\/p>\n<p>Excited to witness firsthand the natural beauty of <span class=\"xn-location\">Guizhou&#8217;s<\/span> karst landscape, Jack from <span class=\"xn-person\">China Matters<\/span> heads to Suiyang&#8217;s Shuanghe cave where he meets up with long-time cave explorer <span class=\"xn-person\">Jean Bottazzi<\/span> from <span class=\"xn-location\">France<\/span>. He&#8217;s been living in these cave parts for more than 20 years, helping to bring these caves onto a map.
