So far, China has listed 39 world heritage sites, including 28 cultural heritage sites, seven natural heritage sites and four cultural and natural heritage sites. The only pity is that Shaolin Kungfu failed to be listed in the UNESCO’s Intangible Heritage List.

The ticket price for Shaolin Temple will not rise now, according to the offcials. I am not sure if the price will stay the same for long. The Danxia Mountain is also included in World Heritage List. The local offcials says it is possible that the ticket price will be increased.

Why do so many tourist attractions compete for being listed in World Heritage List? Easy. They can raise the admission fees and make money.
