The Little Forbidden City in Shanghai is actually a century-old library.

This is not Beijing, this is Shanghai! In Yangpu, Shanghai, there is such an amazing library 📚, which is known as the "Little Forbidden City" in Shanghai. 📚Walking into this library, I feel like I have traveled through time to the Forbidden City. The painted roof, the red cylinder bricks on the ground, and the traditional wooden windows all reveal a classical charm. 📕Especially the "Peacock Gate" in the central hall on the second floor, the two peacock shapes form a door 🏛️. The cast iron parts are connected with rivets, which are simply like artworks 🎨 that have traveled through time from ancient times. This is the newly reopened Yangpu District Library 📚. It was planned to be built in August 1932 and was designed by the famous designer Mr. Dong Dayou at that time. 📚The Yangpu District Library, which has a history of more than 80 years, has a three-hole arch gate on the front of the gate building, surrounded by imitation stone pillars and railings, and the roof is a double-eave hip roof. 📚It has a sense of history and the facilities inside are very complete. All types of books are available, and each area is equipped with a large number of reading tables and chairs and socket panels. 🌳Choose a position by the window, where the green trees outside the window are shaded. Reading quietly on the antique table, you can sit for an afternoon. It is not only suitable for quiet reading 📖, but also for taking photos 📷. It is also very suitable for children 🧒 who are in primary school or above to read and walk, and feel the historical culture! 📚: Yangpu Library 📍: No. 366 Changhai Road, Yangpu District (near Heishan Road) 🚇: Exit 4 of Xiangyin Road Station of Metro Line 8 (1.3km walk) 🎫Ticket: 🆓 ⏰Monday to Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 9:00-21:00, Friday 12:30-21:00
