Dedicated to Professor Song Linhua and Professor Yang Mingde



Half the exposed limestone in the world is in China. Most of it is full of caves so statistically it is highly likely that at least half of all the caves in the world are to be found there.

Twenty years ago China's caves were completely unknown to foreigners. Since 1982, Western cavers with their Chinese counterparts have pioneered cave exploration in China.

So far over 2,000 km of underground passageways have been explored. This is only the tip of the iceberg and there are still a great many secrets to unearth....

The China Caves International Symposium will give international cavers, scientists and those who simply love China the opportunity to come together for the first time to share their experiences of this spectacular karst country
