Daxiwei Sinkhole in Guangxi

The power of nature is truly both magnificent and mysterious. Daxiwei Sinkhole is located about 20 kilometers west of Leye County, Baise, Guangxi, and it is famous for its unique giant funnel-shaped karst landform. If you want to visit Daxiwei Sinkhole, you can take a passing bus from Leye to Huaping Town and get off midway. The bus ride takes about 30 minutes, but I recommend that couples drive there from Baise City or Leye County for more convenience. Upon arriving at the ticket office of Daxiwei Sinkhole, you need to take a sightseeing bus provided by the scenic area and continue to drive up the mountain for 5 kilometers to reach the sinkhole. There are several attractions along the way. After getting off the bus, a tour guide will receive you. The guide will explain the precautions for the tour and the unique features of the scenic area with great patience and gentleness. In academic circles, it is generally believed that the formation of sinkholes is due to the existence of underground rivers. The river water flows continuously year after year, constantly eroding the soluble carbonate rocks. Over a long period of time, huge underground cavities are gradually formed. Until one day, it can no longer bear the weight and suddenly collapses, and the sinkhole is born, just like the god of love suddenly appears before you one day.
