Travelogue: The Pearl River from Mouth to Source | Ep. 8 – Nanning

By Chang Ting, Tianran He

Nowhere in the world has more giant sinkholes than in south China's Leye County. Called "heavenly pits" in Chinese, these gaping holes in the Earth were carved out over millennia by underground torrents that eventually emerge to flow into the vast Pearl River system.

Sinkholes are known as 'tiankeng' in Chinese, or 'heavenly pits'. /CGTN Photo
