This library is open and free, and it records its own progress in public. Three things you can help with today:
Name a place we missedA founding temple, a church, a mosque, a shrine the table above does not have. Send the name, the province, and one line on why it belongs.
Send a photograph with an open licenceNothing is published without both the photographer and the licence. Your own photograph with your permission, or an openly licensed one, are both welcome.
Report an errorA wrong date, a wrong Chinese name, a wrong lineage, a wrong address. A library that is wrong once is not trusted again, so corrections are very welcome.
25/09/2026Openly licensed photographs obtained for 29 of the 30 places in the first batch of stage 5. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque has no suitable photograph yet and keeps a colour card for now.
24/09/2026Stage 5, one place for every country, first batch: 30 articles written for 30 countries that had no place yet, one of the most notable places in each (Bulguksa, the Temple of Confucius in Qufu, Angkor Wat, Borobudur, Masjid al-Haram, St Peter's Basilica, Guadalupe and others). Awaiting openly licensed photographs.
Because they change constantly. A library that is wrong once about a practical detail loses its standing on everything else. Check with the place itself before you travel.
Where do the images come from
From Wikimedia Commons under open licences, each credited to its photographer, or photographed by UK MASTER ACADEMY. No image is published without both its author and its licence.
How were these places chosen
Four tests: it is officially listed as a heritage site, it belongs to a tradition this library covers, its site and orientation can be read in feng shui terms, and an openly licensed photograph exists.
Why is my country still grey
The library opens one country at a time, beginning with the countries that have the most readers, and within each country with its most significant places. A grey country is simply one whose turn has not come. Suggestions are welcome through the page of Master Ưng Khiêm.
