MAZHU CHINA 1

A modified natural resurgence (note 1) or man-made karez (kariz, sough) is situated in the side of a rocky outcrop about 300 m from -Kawas Tangi Ghara 3- (note 2) and at a point where the gorge breaks out into a wide dry river valley. Approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) upstream of this are two springs. CAVE / KAREZ DESCRIPTION: A stooping height entrance leads to similarly sized man-made passage with stone walls and slab roof. After 6 m this emerges in a walking sized passage of 18 m in length formed between bedrock rock and large boulders, at the far end of which water can be seen issuing from small joints.A modified natural resurgence (note 1) or man-made karez (kariz, sough) is situated in the side of a rocky outcrop about 300 m from -Kawas Tangi Ghara 3- (note 2) and at a point where the gorge breaks out into a wide dry river valley.
