Caves and karst of Fengshan, China
Campion, Ged.
Abstract:
The caves of Fengshan have been explored by three Sino-British expeditions between March 2004 and November 2005. The significance of these explorations was highlighted in 2005 when the Jiangzhou area of Fengshan was given Geopark status. The Jiangzhou cave system has a surveyed length of 38.5km, the second longest cave in China. Many interesting leads still exist in the system, and the possibility of linking Jiangzhou to other caves means that it has considerable potential to be extended in the future. The caves of Fengshan are described, with observations on the development of the karst and the speleogenesis of the Jiangzhou system. The delicate balance between the needs of the population, tourism and conservation is assessed.
