📍Location: No. 3 Wangfujing Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing 🚗Transportation: Shared bicycles are convenient for travel 👍️Must-visit spot: Hanyinlou is the library of the Commercial Press during its Shanghai period, and its establishment can be traced back to 1904. At that time, Zhang Yuanji, a figure of the Hundred Days' Reform and a Hanlin scholar, was in charge of the editing work at the Commercial Press. Frustrated by the lack of good rare books, he founded Hanyinlou, which means 'a place filled with the fragrance of rare books and knowledge'. In 1909, it was officially named Hanyinlou. Hanyinlou started by collecting rare ancient books and then expanded to include both Chinese and foreign books. Whenever private collections were dispersed, Hanyinlou made every effort to acquire them. It also purchased new books published annually in Japan and Western countries. By 1924, Hanyinlou had a collection of 37,000 volumes of rare books and precious manuscripts, including twelve volumes of the nearly lost 'Yongle Encyclopedia'. 🎟️Ticket Information: No reservation needed, no entrance fee 💗Other tips: It is located in the bustling Wangfujing Pedestrian Street
