Recently, the 2023 Guizhou Suiyang Shuanghe Cave International Cave Scientific Research Press Conference was grandly held at the Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area in Suiyang County. The conference announced that the latest length of Shuanghe Cave is 409.9 kilometers, ranking first in Asia and jumping to third in the world.

He Wei, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of Guizhou Mountainous Resources Research Institute, and Leader of the 22nd International Cave Exploration Expert Group of Shuanghe Cave, introduced that the cave system is 912 meters deep and consists of 107 interconnected caves. In addition, there are 307 caves with a total length of 124.1 kilometers that are not connected to the Shuanghe Cave, which together form the Shuanghe Karst Cave Group.

It is reported that in the past three years of scientific exploration, the Guizhou Provincial Institute of Mountain Resources has undertaken the execution of projects from the National Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs and the Guizhou Provincial Science and Technology Fund, and has successively discovered more paleontological fossils and multiple geological sites in the Shuanghe Cave.

The most eye-catching feature is the high concentration of giant panda fossils in the Shuanghedong system. Currently, 40 individual fossils of giant pandas have been discovered, including several relatively complete individuals. In addition, in addition to the large-scale distribution of lapis lazuli in the Pinao Cave, 8 new distribution points of lapis lazuli have been discovered in other newly connected tunnels such as Fanjiyan.

Next, the scenic area will continue to promote the sustainable development of science popularization research and cultural tourism from three aspects: deepening "resources", improving "services", and strengthening "customer sources", so as to promote the good mountains and waters of Suiyang in Guizhou to the whole country and the world.

At the press conference, 8 scientific research experts from both domestic and international sources, as well as more than 30 scientific research experts from Guizhou Mountain Resources Research Institute, Guizhou Cave Association, and Zunyi Cave Branch, participated.
