Really? Do they complain to the local tourism bureau?

Complain? They never and shouldn't, Sunnydream. It's well written at the collecting booth that provides the receipt.

Ok. I suggest China adopts the same measure. Then the scenic areas won't increase the admission fees quickly.

This only for a few temples in Bangkok, including the Grand Palace. Other temples are free to visit (in Bangkok). In Chiangmai to visit Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, if you use the elevator then you need to pay.

I see. In the US, many places are open for free. Some just charge visitors very little money. However, most famous scenic areas in China charge the visitors too much. The only good news is that many museums are open for free.

That's good news. In many countries, one needs to pay to visit museums. I used to visit the famous Topkapi museum in Istanbul, and I think I paid more than 1 million Turkish Lira.

Wan,

Some museums are not as good as we thought. They collect treasures together in a special area. If you want to see the treasures, you need to pay the admission fees.

I remember that I saw terra cotta warriors in Shaanxi Provincial Museum last time I visited Xian. But I am not sure if they are real. Many museums display replicas.
