Standing at the commercial plaza, you can recognize the familiar text curtain wall of Zhongshuge. The window glass is decorated with a maxim on reading by an ancient wise. Open the gate in the text curtain wall and you enter a "world of karst cave" - cultural and creative corridor, where rows of "stalactites" down the ground against the black glass of the ground seem like infinitely extended waiting for us to explore. On the book stand of "ship type", chandeliers are shelved going along the "water flow" on the ground, which introduce us through the treasures of knowledge. Go through the world of karst cave, and we come to the boutique reading area, with the layout style of squared study, where each small study room is a classic treasury of books. The other end of the cultural and creative corridor is adjacent to the cultural and creative area, which takes the conception of karst landform. The magnificent "mountain-shaped bookshelves" are intertwined and wind along the path. The lecture hall, evolved from the terraced fields, is a perfect space for holding a lecture or a book sharing session.
