Shuanghedong (Chinese: 双河洞; pinyin: Shuānghédòng; lit. 'twin rivers cave'), is the longest cave in China,[1][2][3] in Asia, and the 3rd longest in the world as of May 2023.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

It is located near the town of Wenquan in Suiyang County, Zunyi, Guizhou Province.[11]

The cave contains numerous waterfalls, and at least three underground rivers, some of which contain cave shrimp, and fish weighing several pounds.[12] Tadpoles, frogs, salamanders, insects, spiders, bats, leeches, blind fish, and mushrooms have also been found.

Since 1987, at least 20 expeditions from France and Japan have explored the cave.[13]

In May 2023 the network reaches 400 kilometers of development.[14]
