Shenmu Tiankeng

神木天坑

A deep sinkhole in the Dashiwei Tiankeng group, named for the tall ancient trees growing on its floor. It is viewed from the rim.

Shenmu Tiankeng lies not far east of Dashiwei Tiankeng. Its opening is nearly circular, with steep walls, and tall ancient trees grow on the floor, hence the name 'Divine Tree'. It is usually a viewing stop along the tiankeng group, seen from the rim platform. Descent to the floor is not open.

It can be visited on the same day as Baidong and Chuandong tiankengs. Opening and ticketing follow the announcements of the Dashiwei Tiankeng Group scenic area. Please do not climb over the railings at the rim.
