Shaolin Temple’s abbot Shi Yongxin confirmed the news by saying the temple had no plan to raise the admission fee.

“Bidding for World Heritage has nothing to do with commercial interests. We would not raise the ticket price,” said Qian Daliang, general manager of the Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets Management Center of Shaolin Temple, days before the bid succeeded.
