CHINA’S SUPERCAVES
Beneath southern China’s cone-shaped peaks, arches, and spires lie some of the largest caverns in the world.

China’s Miao Room is considered the world’s second largest cave chamber by area. Enormous and dark, it’s a challenging place to map—but equipment worth more than $100,000 captures what the eye cannot.
China is home to the world’s greatest concentration of karsts: rocky spires and spillways shaped over time by the elements. For some climbers, scaling these challenging natural sculptures is the experience of a lifetime.
