North Branch of Shenzhen Library, Guangdong | You can take a look without saying a word, and it’s free.

The newly built Shenzhen Library North Branch is this working guy’s second favorite place to go besides hiking! It is right next to Hongshan subway station with convenient transportation. The venue is very spacious and has a futuristic artistic feel.

There are five floors in total, with plenty of seats and power sockets on the tables, which makes it very nice whether you are reading, studying or working!

The library has a rich collection of books, with basically all kinds of books. Today, due to time constraints, I only went to the second floor. Next time, I must go earlier.

01. About opening hours

Library opening hours: 7-23:00, 2-5 floors are open only until 21:00

02.About address

Take Metro Line 4 or Line 6, get off at Hongshan Station, and then follow the navigation to walk to the North Branch of the Library.

03. About borrowing books

You can apply for an offline or online library card for free with your mainland China ID card. There are self-service machines in the venue for applying for library cards, borrowing books, and disinfecting books (all free of charge). Each person's library card can borrow 10 Chinese books + 1 foreign book. If you want to borrow more books, you can pay to upgrade your reader card.

The library is divided into children's and adults' areas, and the books inside are different. Children under 12 years old should go to the children's venue 👀
