Shanghai's Most Beautiful Library | Shanghai Library East Branch

| Shanghai Library East Branch.🌟Highlights: Shanghai Library East Branch has a construction area of 115,000 square meters, with 7 floors above ground and 2 floors underground. After opening, it can provide nearly 6,000 seats, meet the cultural needs of more than 200 lectures and thousands of academic activities each year, and accommodate up to 4 million visitors annually. The East Branch offers 22 themed reading service spaces, as well as a smart cultural and creative area and team discussion rooms, lifelong learning rooms, and silent reading cabins scattered across various floors. It provides public cultural services that are inclusive, equitable, and personalized for all age groups, making this readable building even more welcoming. ❤Recommended Reasons: The overall exterior design style of the library presents a "clean and pure, layered" visual effect. The external space is like a shining "jade stone in the forest," while the internal space is interconnected like Taihu stones, subtly paying homage to the art of printing. For example, the building's exterior facade features 15 photos of marble textures, "bound" onto the library's "cover" using digital printing glass technology. ✅Must Experience: The architect drew inspiration from the "Taihu stone" concept commonly seen in classical Chinese gardens. The interior space of the library exudes artistic beauty in its constant changes, conveying traditional Chinese aesthetic interests. Readers in the atrium spaces on different floors and in the reading halls on different floors can look at each other, seeing the staggered open reading spaces surrounding the transparent and spacious atrium, creating a sense of layered mountains. 📍Detailed Address: 300 Yingchun Road, 300 Huanhua Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai 🚉Transportation Guide: Shanghai Metro Line 2, Science and Technology Museum Station 🕙Business Hours: 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM 📝Note Tips: Free admission
