Rebranded Shaolin temples open today

September 16, 2009 Today four temples in Kunming s Guandu district officially reopened under management by Shaolin Temple, the temple where kung fu is believed to have originated. The temples have been rebranded as Guandu Shaolin Temples according to a Shanghai Daily report. Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin (释永信) signed a trusteeship agreement last November with Kunming s Guandu district government to take over management of four ancient temples in Guandu: Miaozhan Temple (妙湛寺), Tuzhu Temple (土主庙), Fading Temple (法定寺), and Guanyin Temple (观音寺). Under the agreement, Shaolin Temple will operate the temples for 20 years. At present there are 46 Shaolin monks in the Guandu temples, which are now free to the public. Admission had formerly been five yuan.
