Huangjing Tiankeng National Forest Park

Huangjing Tiankeng National Forest Park is a national-level forest park.

Huangjing Tiankeng National Forest Park is located next to the Dashiwei Tiankeng in Leye County in northwestern Guangxi, under the administration of the state-owned Yachang Forest Farm directly managed by the Guangxi Autonomous Region. The park has a planned area of 13,879 square kilometers and is an important part of the world-class Dashiwei Tiankeng cluster scenic area. It has been designated as a National Forest Park, a National Geological Park, and an International Karst and Cave Exploration & Education Base. The park combines tiankengs, caves, high mountains, forests, and waterfalls, and features landscape characteristics such as “spectacular, elegant, serene, and wild.” With a mild climate, no severe heat in summer or bitter cold in winter, and a negative ion concentration of 40,000–50,000 per cubic meter, it is a typical natural oxygen bar. It serves as an ideal destination for sightseeing, leisure vacations, and scientific exploration.

Huangjing Tiankeng National Forest Park consists of the Huangjing Tiankeng Scenic Area, Fengyan Tiankeng Scenic Area, Huaping Scenic Area, Pangu King Scenic Area, Yigou Scenic Area, and the Southwest Folk Culture Garden. It encompasses six major tiankengs and 37 scenic spots. Among them, the Huangjing Tiankeng is the most unique, featuring thrilling and spectacular tiankeng landforms, dense forests at the pit’s mouth, and large underground forests at the bottom that are home to big wild animals. On the western side of the tiankeng, there is a seasonal waterfall with a drop of over 100 meters. Legends such as the Frog King protecting the cave and the Seven Fairies descending to earth are associated with the tiankeng. Inside, there are 29 natural scenic spots including the mystical Tiankeng King Kong, Tiankeng Immortal Pigeon, and the Huangjing statue, making it a perfect fusion of tiankeng, forest, waterfall, and mythology.
