From September 25th to 26th, 2024, Deng Zhiqun, a member of the Party Group and deputy director of the Huanggang Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Urban-Rural Development, led a delegation from the  Huanggang Dabieshan Gloabl Geopark to visit the Zhijindong Cave Gloabl Geopark for an inspection and exchange activity. Li Yi, director of the Guizhou Zhijindong Cave National Geopark Administration, Zhang Jun, deputy director, and relevant departments accompanied the inspection.

On September 25th, the two sides held a symposium to have in-depth exchanges and share experiences on park management, geological heritage protection, re-evaluation and other aspects of work, and signed a cooperation agreement, officially establishing the "sister" park relationship.

This establishment as a "sister" park has effectively built a platform for exchanges and cooperation between the two parks. In the agreement, both sides reached a consensus on aspects such as park operation and management, science popularization and publicity, and talent cultivation.

    After the meeting, the inspection team also conducted on-site investigations at the Zhijindong Cave Visitor Center, Zhijindong Cave and Qijiehe River, and gained a detailed understanding of the park's situation in terms of resource display, sign system construction, and tourism facility construction.

    Up to now, Zhijindong Cave Global Geopark has established 24 "sister parks". In the future work, it will strengthen exchanges and cooperation with sister parks in aspects such as geological relic protection, management and construction, scientific research and popular science, and publicity and promotion, and jointly promote the high-quality development of the Global Geopark cause.
