Extended data:

There is a natural crack in the ground of Tianjingxia ground fissure, which is called Tianjingxia ground fissure locally. The ground seam is 14km long and divided into upper and lower sections. The upper section is about 8 kilometers long, from Daxingchang Daxiangshan to Chigucao, which is a hidden seam underground.

The bottom of the coal seam can be accessed from Tianjing Gorge in Daxiangshan, Xinglong Town, with a channel length of 3.5 kilometers. The coal seam is 80-200m deep and 3-30m wide at the bottom. The two walls of the seam are steep as knives, which is a typical "one-line sky" canyon landscape. There is a sinkhole at the bottom of the seam, and there is water after the rainstorm. The lower section from Tiankeng to Labyrinth Gorge is a dark cave about 6 kilometers long, which was explored by British cave explorers in August 1994.
