Religious venue list completed

China has publicized basic information on all Buddhist monasteries and Taoist temples nationwide to enable public supervision of religious activities and prevent fraud perpetrated in the name of religion.

On Thursday, the State Administration for Religious Affairs posted on its website information on all Buddhist and Taoist venues in 11 provincial areas, including the Xinjiang Uygur and the Tibet autonomous regions, after publicizing such information for 20 other provincial areas starting in April 2014.

The information on all such venues in China is now accessible on the SARA website. It includes the name, location, address and person responsible for each venue.
