It would be a pity if a Chinese person was denied the opportunity to experience his/her own country’s magnificent cultural heritage purely because of exorbitant entry fees. This is a good argument for the Central Government to step in and subsidise the cost of maintaining the site, or establishing discounted rates for larger families.

*Contrastive analysis: For example, it needs 25 U.S. dollars to visit the Yellowstone Park of the United States by car. An annual card sells 50 U.S. dollars and can be uses repeatedly. It only needs six euros to visit the Roman Colosseum in Italy. The natural landscapes in Japan do not charge fees. Their operations mainly rely on financial subsidies.
