[quote=CHRISTINE,406055]Recently, China has expanded its UNESCO heritage sites to 40 after the UNESCO named the Center of the “Heaven and Earth (an ancient architectural complex including the Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng city, Henan Province)” and China Danxia Landform (comprising Taining County of Fujian, Langshan Mountain of Hunan, Danxia Mountain of Guangdong, Dragon and Tiger Mountain of Jiangxi, Jianglang Mountain of Zhejiang, Chishui of Guizhou ) to the World Heritage List.

Good news, isn’t? However, the ticket price for the Danxia Landform is said to increase in the future. "The cost will increase regarding a series of protection actions,” according to director of the management committee of Danxia Mountain. Well, the entrance fee for the Shaolin Temple will remain the same according to the local officials.

In fact, many tourist sites have raised the ticket prices after they were added to the World Heritage List successfully, such as Jiuzhaigou Valley, Mt. Huangshan, Xidi and Hongcun Ancient Villages and Earth Buildings in Fujian Province. The Jiuzhaigou Valley has increased the entrance fee from 108 to 220 RMB.

The ticket prices have skyrocketed so that tourists will pay higher fees for those UNESCO heritage sites. Is it reasonable?

PS: the ticket price for Danxia Mountain is 100 RMB for an adult and 120 RMB during holidays.
