The surrounding walls introduce the history and various features of Shanghai, allowing you to learn more about the city.

Another day of pretending to work! Need to find a good place
With the rising unemployment rate, more and more people find themselves with nowhere to go when they open their eyes. In the heat of summer, you need to find a place to stay and pretend you still have a job. Since you can't make money, you need to reduce expenses and live a simple life. Alright, let me recommend a place for you. I've been there many times and have experience—Xujiahui Library.
Take Metro Line 1, 9, or 11 to Xujiahui Station, and exit at Exit 3 to get directly inside. The library is closed every Monday and opens at 9 AM every day. Make sure to come early; if you arrive late, like at 10 AM, you definitely won't find a seat. You'll have to wait until the lunch crowd leaves. Of course, you'll still find many people who don't follow the rules, leaving their books, laptops, and bags to reserve seats while they go out for a stroll or a bathroom break. Although I usually pretend to work for an hour or two at most, I never occupy public resources. Please don't follow those bad examples. Let's take turns; there are many people who need to pretend. Of course, there are also many people who come to read and study seriously. Please keep quiet and set a good example. The library is a place of quietness; don't ruin it for others and yourself. Let's speak nicely, study well, and make progress every day.
The restrooms are clean, with hot and cold water available. The balcony has tiered seating where you can see the nearby Catholic church and the distant Xujiahui. It's a great place, top-notch.
We all need to maintain it consciously.

Shanghai's summer tastes like cool orange
When the sunset comes out
The Catholic Church will be bathed in golden twilight
When the lights come on, it really feels like Europe
When you get hungry, walk 600 meters

The restaurant is hidden at the corner of the street
It has three floors, and the view from the third floor is excellent
The sour soup base has a particularly great sauerkraut flavor
The fish slices are tender and have few bones
It's great to drink a bowl of fish soup to whet your appetite before eating
This place is loved by old Shanghainese

I was lucky to get a table when I went
Didn't have to wait long to eat
Super lucky

The most popular attraction in Xujiahui during the summer vacation, without a doubt
Time flies, and before you know it, it's already been a year since Xujiahui Academy, which used to require queuing to enter, opened. Although there is no need to wait in line now, it is still bustling with people when you go in.
Since its opening, Xujiahui Academy has been highly praised by the public and readers for its unique design style and profound cultural connotation. The basilica-style atrium space creates a cultural atmosphere that blends East and West. Looking up in the sunlit reading area, it feels like you can hear a symphony of urban development... Xujiahui Academy is full of the designers' ingenious ideas and exquisite craftsmanship. The outdoor balcony on the second floor faces the church, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Xujiahui.
In addition to first-class hardware, the regular events held are very friendly and can enrich one's knowledge reserve. Moreover, most of these events are free of charge.

This summer, if you don't know where to take your children, why not come to Xujiahui to explore the ocean of knowledge
This summer, if you don't know where to take your children to play, why not bring her to Shanghai Xujiahui Academy to explore the ocean of knowledge.
Highly recommended for book lovers, you can first visit the Catholic Church in Xujiahui, and then walk 50 meters to take a break here. The academy is very quiet and intelligent, making it easy to read and learn! The environment is excellent! There is a rest area on the first floor with coffee and tea, and the basement has some cultural and creative products from East and West Park that are also worth browsing. It's free and no reservation is needed.
Many people call this place the Chinese version of Hogwarts Academy, and being here truly gives you that magical vibe. This is a library, not a bookstore, so there are many places suitable for self-study, making it very suitable for studying.
The overall layout is retro and Shanghai-style, making it a surprising library.
Going down from the first floor is East and West Park, a cultural and creative store worth visiting. It has many cute ornaments, but unfortunately, it was about to close at the time, so I couldn't stay long.
Coming out from the basement, you will find the entrance to Xujiahui Metro Station, which is very convenient. No need to worry about getting sunburned.

Is Xujiahui Library worth visiting?
The most popular time to visit Xujiahui Library required advance reservations, and it was often hard to secure a spot! Fortunately, reservations are no longer needed now. I highly recommend it to friends who love the library atmosphere, because it's really beautiful! There are also many kinds of books available for borrowing (but remember to keep quiet, as there are many people studying there!), and afterwards, you can also check out the beautiful Catholic church nearby!

Beautiful Books
Exhibition Name: Beautiful Books
Exhibition Venue: Xuhui Academy
Public Transport: Xujiahui Station on Metro Lines 1, 9, 11
Exhibition Dates: April 23, 2024 to May 19, 2024
Exhibition Ticket: Free
Exhibition Introduction: The exhibition connects community streets and cross-border partners, collecting contributions from artists, designers, illustrators, architects, floral artists, art education teachers, and community children of different ages and backgrounds to jointly create art book boxes. Through creative artworks and story sharing, every citizen reader becomes a 'Beautiful Book', interpreting reading and life from three dimensions: 'maintaining an innocent heart', 'curiously exploring the world', and 'lending a hand to all things'.
Mist and Wind Words: The mist has always thought that Xuhui Academy is not a place for reading. On the accidental visit on May 18, Museum Day, I discovered a small exhibition, quite interesting. It offers a perspective of reading and creating books from the viewpoint of ordinary people, preserving the artworks' natural and naive essence, no longer the so-called profound art that's all talk.

May Day Magic Door - Visit Lin Fengmin's Flower Room at Xuhui Academy
Shanghai Xujiahui Academy is very famous. I specially went to Xuhui Academy to study and visit on May Day. It is right next to the Xujiahui Church, accessible from the Xujiahui station of Metro Line 9.
The academy is highly modernized, making it very convenient to find books, and the design is also very user-friendly. On the third floor, I saw an exhibition themed around Lin Fengmin's flower room, which I really liked. Life's realizations, as one ages and goes through life's trials, increasingly blend into one's work. I am grateful for this encounter.

How beautiful is the trending Xujiahui Academy, really?
The Xujiahui Academy, adjacent to the Xujiahui Cathedral and the Meteorological Museum, was designed by the British architectural master David Chipperfield, with the interior completed by the renowned architectural designer Yu Ting's team.
The Xujiahui Academy is a phenomenal internet-famous library and a new landmark of Shanghai-style culture. The basilica-style atrium of the academy runs through four floors of the building.
At the end of the atrium stands a crystal-clear 3D printed archway, inspired by the 'Gate of Enlightenment' from Tushanwan's Chinese arch in China. This arch was built in 1912, carved by 60 orphans from the Tushanwan Orphanage in Shanghai, and won the highest award - the Grand Prize Medal - at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, USA.
Closed on Mondays, the green space outside the door is also filled with people.

Xujiahui Academy: A new landmark of Haipai culture, the "second study room" for citizens
It's been about half a year since I last visited Xujiahui. When I went there again, I found out that the hottest place in Xujiahui is not any tourist spot or shopping mall, but Xujiahui Academy. The most eye-catching thing after entering the academy is the "Basilica" style atrium, a perfect internet celebrity check-in point, I guess many people come here for this. Inside the academy, there are people who are focused and reading everywhere, some are sitting on the floor, some are reading and writing, some are bending over to check the catalog... In addition to reading and checking information, drinking coffee in the academy, you can also visit exhibitions and hunt for cultural and creative products, it is indeed a good place to go.
The Xujiahui Academy, which looks like a box from the outside, was designed by David Chipperfield, the winner of the 2023 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the designer of the West Bank Art Museum, and a famous British architect. The interior was completed by the famous architect Yu Ting's team.
The name "Xujiahui Academy" comes from Xu Guangqi, the first person in Chinese-Western cultural exchange. The prominent "Xujiahui Academy" on the building also comes from Xu Guangqi's handwriting. The English name of the academy, "ZIKAWEI", comes from the Wade-Giles romanization of "Xujiahui" in Shanghai dialect. This English expression can also be found in many historical maps and documents related to Xujiahui. The name "Xujiahui Academy" highlights that this building is not just a library, but a cultural symbol, expressing awe for the accumulation of regional culture and the inheritance of cultural context.
Xujiahui Academy is a library, but also an open and complex new space for cultural tourism. It integrates reading, communication, exhibition, tourism, cultural and creative, and leisure. It is born in the light and walks towards the light. It is known as the "second study room" for everyone to enjoy, and it is also a new landmark of Haipai culture.

Come and play in Xujiahui
I passed by the Xujiahui Catholic Church before, on the left side of the square in front of the church, there is a square modern orange building, seeing tourists coming in and out, I guess it is a place for art exhibitions. I came to have a look today.
After passing through the open coffee shop, I realized it should be a bookstore, but I don't know which bookstore it is, guessing from the decoration style, is it 'Zhongshu'? Looking at the staff's clothing, I guess it is Xujiahui Library. It's really open and friendly here.
I learned from Baidu that on January 1, 2023, the Xujiahui Academy and the new Xuhui District Library were newly opened.
It's a coincidence that I went to the Sports Museum, SAIC is preparing for the promotion of new cars, the 'Zhiji' series. It looks like a big event.
Today, the parking lot of the Sports Museum (No. 1111, Caoxi North Road) is open to the public. But why can't I find the entrance on Gaode Map?

Checked in at Xujiahui Library
Enjoying the tulips while checking in at Xujiahui Library, which is geographically located next to the Catholic Church. The design is unique, exuding a very subtle and beautiful aesthetic, and it fully displays a vintage tenderness. The only downside is that the environment is quite noisy on weekends, making it unsuitable for quiet reading.

No need to make a reservation! Go check in now!
The super popular Xujiahui Academy, it was said that you must make a reservation to enter before, but now you don't need to make a reservation~ Decisively go and take a look~
There are really a lot of people here, probably a large part of them are here to take pictures (me too). There are several layers of bookshelves, a long table in the middle, symmetrical design, it's indeed very photogenic.
I saw quite a few people shooting in the space, it seems to be commercial shooting, there is a sense of atmosphere, but it really doesn't look like a library here, it's noisy.
There is also a quite large space for children to play, the books inside are also suitable for children of different ages, suitable for recharging.
There is also a terrace upstairs, there are quite a few people resting and taking pictures here, there are super photogenic check-in points, the background is the church, it's very beautiful.

CITYWLK Shanghai's most beautiful academy, Xujiahui Academy
CITYWLK Shanghai's most beautiful academy, Xujiahui Academy
❤Recommended reasons:
The first floor of the Xujiahui Academy is relatively noisy and not suitable for quiet reading. It is recommended to go to the upper floors for reading.
On the second/third floor, you can take a panoramic view of the entire atrium (through the glass), which is very atmospheric.
The overall indoor light is soft and easy to take pictures.
There is also a balcony area with good light, where you can take pictures of the Catholic Church. There is only one photo spot, but there are many people.
The B1 floor has a cultural and creative area, which is a market. There are coffee and tea drinks, Shanghai-related, national style and some small cute cultural and creative products. At present, there is a calligraphy exhibition by Teacher Zhu Jingyi, with a black and white style. The exhibition area is relatively small, and there are not many people while it is very photogenic. The most important thing is that it's free!!!

There's something about 'East West Park'!
Located in the Xujiahui bookstore, East West Park
is a great place for photo check-ins.
Minimalist style, and many design concept trinkets.

❌If you just want to find a place to read, it is not recommended to come here, there are many tourists and it is really noisy (even if they consciously lower their voices)
The grand arched atrium🕍 gives people a broad vision. Sitting on the "sea table" and reading is a kind of happiness in swimming in the sea of books🌈🌺. The intelligent navigation gives us high-tech guidance. 📸The area has immersive reading area, sunshine reading area☀, self-study area, 🎡children's area, etc. The brightest spot is the second floor viewing corridor🕍. Sitting here quietly holding a book, the magnificent church opposite gives people a sense of holiness. When you are tired, go to the basement to drink some coffee and tea, it is very comfortable🍭😘.
