Does the law allow monks to take over scenic spots and temples?

Not allowed.

As a Buddhist place, temples accept orders from monks and provide necessary places and convenient conditions for monks to practice, rather than providing employment opportunities for others. Monks who become monks go to temples to sign orders voluntarily, for the purpose of practicing Buddhism, not to earn labor remuneration.

China implements the policy of "autonomy, self-support and autobiography" for religions including Buddhism. Whether and how temples distribute certain living expenses to monks according to the principle of "equal benefit" belongs to the category of "autonomy" and "self-support" of religious organizations. Therefore, disputes between monks and monasteries should not rise to the legal level, and judicial intervention should be handled by both sides according to dogma and internal customs.
