A rare salt sinkhole lies in the Gobi wilderness at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, about 23 kilometers northwest of Baicheng County in Xinjiang. The site features a sinkhole-like depression formed by years of rainwater erosion, with an underground chamber covering around 1,000 square meters. Inside, about 1,000 salt formations, including stalagmite-like structures and salt stalactites, create a striking natural spectacle. Discovered by local Xinjiang geologists in May 2019, it is the first salt karst landform of its kind identified in the region.
