For more than 50 years, the sinkhole has been used as a refuse dump but since January workers are attempting to clear the rubbish in the 290 metre deep hole. These images show the staggering moment boxes of rubbish are lifted out of the hole in a bid to clean up after years of abuse. Local businesses are investing several million yuan on the rubbish clear up with the aim of restoring the ecological system in the Tiankeng. The hope is that experts will be able to develop it into an integrated scenic spot for expedition, leisure and geological sightseeing.For more than 50 years, the sinkhole has been used as a refuse dump but since January workers are attempting to clear the rubbish in the 290 metre deep hole.
