Chris Hardie is the chief designer of the #Shanghai Library's #Pudong branch. Inspired by the Taihu stone, which was favored by ancient Chinese literati, he designed the Pudong branch. He is committed to creating a future library that embraces the concept of "from books to intersections", making it a place where people and the city come together. In his eyes, the Pudong branch is the best gift that the city can offer to its citizens. #ShanghaiFTZ10Years #PioneeringPudong | Pudong China

A robot designed to help readers at Shanghai Library has attracted visitors' attention since its debut this year. About 1-meter-tall, with a touch screen as its "face", the android stands beside the registration assistance desk in the lobby, ready to offer its help to readers. | China Xinhua News

The people of Shanghai have an absolute treat in the form of a the Shanghai Public Library at HuangPu. It is truly a stunning library built for the public. It shows the importance that China gives to education and a culture of learning. I wish we in Pakistan could have libraries of this nature for our people. | Laal

Zhenru Temple（真如寺) was originally built during the Song Dynasty. The temple has a clear central axis running from south to north, along which the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Zhenru Pagoda, the Sutra Library, and the Abbot’s Room are arranged. The Mahavira Hall in Zhenru Temple is the only wooden structure from the Yuan Dynasty in Shanghai, making it an important relic of ancient Chinese architecture.❤😍🤩 Location: No.399 Lanxi Road, Zhenru Town, Putuo Distri
