Beijing 2024 - BeiHai Park (北海公园) - Library Next Door

 

While making our way out of BeiHai Park, we walked pass a structure next to it that also has the signature red door, blue door sign etc.



The building beyond the gate looked grand and solemn. Perhaps it was a government building?


Closer inspection saw that it was a library!


A library of ancient books! Wait what? They have a library just for ancient books? Wow. Hidden Gem! But it didn't looked like it was open to the public, or perhaps it was past the closing time. It was certainly a surprise find on my part. Spoiler alert, a library was on my trip itinerary. I just wasn't sure if I would have time to actually go visit it :P 


Anyway it was nice to know that there exist in China a library for ancient books! I thought that was super cool!
