A warm and touching library Shanghai is such a city that is hard to leave! “I write not because I have talent, but because I have feelings.” "When a child is lonely, he will create a world." When I saw the "Wall of Translators", their words on the wall, and their signed books, my eyes instantly became wet! It was as if the entire childhood and girlhood had all returned in one rush! After all, it is the great people who have used their life-long energy, efforts and passion to give me a pure, noble, noble and beautiful spiritual kingdom (I am just one of the lucky mortals who have been gifted by them!) It is they who have shaped me to a large extent, whether it is the "good me" at this moment or the "not good enough me"! Libraries and books have such magic that they can let you escape into another time and space in an instant, and time stops! All the past events, experiences and memories related to reading suddenly came to my mind, including the growth, emotions, joys, sorrows, anger and happiness... That whole wall of poetry is so beautiful! I think it is almost the ceiling level for displaying poetry books in China. There is a Chinese and foreign poetry book in each grid, which is spectacular!

Xujiahui Academy, which became very popular last year, finally took the children to City Walk to experience this great bookish and artistic space while the children were reciting for their grade exams. Because of the grade exam, I bought a three-piece set of JK school uniforms for a special check-in trip.

The library is adjacent to the historic Xujiahui Catholic Church, and the two complement each other. The terrace on the second floor of the library is an excellent spot for capturing panoramic views of the church, attracting many visitors who come specifically to take photos and create beautiful memories. 📍Library Address: No. 158, Caoxi North Road ⏰Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 09:00-21:00, closed on Monday 🚇Transportation: Exit 3 of Xujiahui Station on Metro Line 1, walk 160 meters.

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.

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 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.

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!
