On March 11th, the Guizhou Science and Technology Museum organized over 30 students to visit the Zhijindong Cave, which is known as the top of the "Top Ten Strange Caves in China" and the "King of Karst Caves in China", to conduct a unique science class - a karst cave class.

It is well known that Guizhou has unique karst geological landforms and rich biological species advantages. The Zhijindong Cave in Bijie City, Guizhou Province, boasts unique geological relic characteristics and extremely high aesthetic value. It is currently the cave with the highest density of cave halls, the highest density of stalactites, the richest types and the most rare forms in the world. It is truly a "cave paradise". Therefore, this karst cave class has come to this place.

Under the guidance of Yang Weicheng, the director of the Karst Cave Research Center of Guizhou Normal University, and the teachers from Guizhou Science and Technology Museum, the students carried out lively and interesting courses: cave exploration and study Tours, popular science lectures, interactive experiments, etc.

This event is hosted by the China Science and Technology Museum, with the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology, the Guizhou Department of Education, the Guizhou Department of Natural Resources, and the Guizhou Department of Ecology and Environment as supporting units. It is organized by the Guizhou Science and Technology Museum and co-organized by the Zhijindong Cave Global Geopark. It is one of the activities of the "Beautiful China" themed joint science popularization activities under the 2023 "Strive for a New Journey of Science Popularization" National Science and Technology Museum Joint Action, aiming to better play the core role of public science popularization services. 

Through the implementation of the "Beautiful China" themed joint science popularization activities, students can have an immersive understanding of the formation, characteristics and types of karst geological landforms in Guizhou. Recognizing the significance of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, effectively stimulating the curiosity, imagination and desire to explore of teenagers, and doing a good job in the addition of science education under the "double reduction" policy with high-quality popular science, to contribute to high-level self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology.
