From September to end of October, tourists of the Mountain Taibai and Famen Temple in Shaanxi province can have their admission tickets reimbursed by collecting garbage.

Initiated by a local bank out of concern for environmental protection, the campaign allows tourists to get the same amount cash of the admission tickets (subject to 20 percent tax) back, for collecting at least one kilo of garbage inside the tourist sites.
