A Cathedral of Books: Inside the World’s Most Beautiful Library in Tianjin

#summervacay #july2025 #library #discoverchina If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into a sci-fi novel, Tianjin Binhai Library will make that fantasy real. Nicknamed “The Eye of Binhai,” this architectural marvel lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful libraries in the world—an ethereal blend of curves, light, and space that stuns the moment you enter. Located at 347 Xusheng Road, Binhai New District, the library is free to enter and requires no prior reservation. Despite the growing popularity—thanks to its role as the opening scene of the hit series Joy of Life —the process remains remarkably accessible: just a quick security check and you’re in. The best part? It’s wonderfully air-conditioned, making it the perfect summer escape. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere remains serene, with every corner offering photo-perfect moments among towering white book terraces.
