Awesome library - it’s the central library in Shanghai thus also the biggest. It has 4 floors - the 4th floor is my favorite. It has collection of foreign books (Friendship Library) from many countries from the US to Japan to Russia - but the floor closes at 5 pm. Even 30 minutes before the staff would start reminding people to get ready to pack. However, some rooms on the 1st and 2nd will open until 8:30. There’s a canteen at the ground floor - 1 small dish cost around 10 yuan. So lunch with 2 side dishes can cost up to 22 yuan. The cafe is good too - only 18 yuan for latte. Starbucks is available on the 1st floor. However. It doesn’t have many chairs available. Very recommended for studying here, people are mostly quiet.
