Workers carry rubbish out of a Tiankeng, a Karst landform, by a hanging basket at Luoquanyan Village of Xuan'en County, central China's Hubei Province, May 15, 2015. Dozens of workers started to clear the rubbish out of the over 290-meter-deep Tiankeng, which was used as a refuse dump, since January this year.
