The first step down the rim feels decisive: air cools, the sunlit rim gives way to a bowl of green and stone, and three natural bridges stitch the sky together above the abyss. Visitors descend via a large rotating elevator to a mid-level platform, then continue on foot along carved staircases and jungle-flanked trails to reach the floor of a 300-meter-deep tiankeng where a small stream moves like a careful narrator through ponds and pockets of limestone.
