Asia's longest cave, where pandas lived 100,000 years ago

Shuanghe Cave is located in Wenquan Town, Suiyang County, Guizhou Province. The cave structure is complex, with water and dry caves coexisting, and the caves are interconnected, forming a layered spider web-like geological cave layer. Up to now, the proven length of Shuanghe Cave is 409.9 kilometers, with a vertical depth of 912 meters, ranking the third longest cave in the world, firmly occupying the 'longest cave in Asia', and also becoming the 'third deepest cave in China'. Geological wonders such as cave waterfalls, curling stones, gypsum crystal flowers, and azurite, as well as a large number of cave biological fossils and cave living organisms have been found in the cave. The most amazing thing is that so far, 40 individual fossils of giant pandas have been found in the cave. The oldest individual is at least 100,000 years old, and the youngest is only a few hundred years old. It is the latest physical record outside the living area of ​​the existing giant panda, indicating that pandas lived here hundreds of years ago.
