Posted at Apr 21, 05 in Shaolin Temple News

It was announced from the management committee of Songshan Scenic Spot that the area has been approved by the Henan Development and Reform Commission to raise the ticket price from 40 to 100 yuan starting on May 10th.

This adjustment is not simply a price increase, but part of a larger project of tourist resource integration. After the price increase, the scenic spot's total area will be increased from 78 hectares to 280 hectares. Sanhuangzhai Scenic Spot, which condenses Songshan's world geologic park landscape will be added to existing spots, such as the Shaolin Temple, Pagoda Forest, Ancestor's Monastery, Second Ancestor's Monastery and Dharma Cave. Shaolin martial art performances, which now require an extra fee, will become free.

This new price adjustment will be implemented on May.10th. However, its implementation for domestic tourist groups organized by travel agencies will be delayed by one month, and three months for international tourist groups. Songshan Scenic Spot is famous both at home and abroad, and receives over one million domestic and foreign tourists every year.
