Who says libraries are a thing of the past? In China, they’re a thing of the future, especially a new one in north China's Tianjin that’s turning heads (and pages).
The Tianjin Binhai Library is massive (33,700-square-meters), contains an illuminating sphere straight out of a sci-fi film, and a “book mountain,” which the library advises to avoid if you’re wearing high heels, aren’t fit for hiking, and are under the age of 14.
So, don’t forget your hiking shoes (and library card) for this week’s China Unknown.
