One of Henan’s most popular tourist destinations, and the home of kung fu, Shaolin Temple is suing their local tourism office for nearly 50 million RMB in delayed ticket dividends.

In 2009, a deal was made between the local scenic area management committee over management of ticket revenue. The deal stipulates that the temple gets 30 RMB for every 100 RMB ticket, which should be paid to the temple every month.

Now, the temple is saying that it did not receive full payments between November 2011 and October 2013, and that the committee owes the temple 49.7 million RMB plus a fine of 2.32 million RMB.

The committee has stated that some people do not pay to get into temple, or paid less than the 100 RMB ticket, and that therefore it does not owe the temple any money.

The conflict between the two remains unsettled, but we would be terrified if we were the tourism committee…
