Wanna relax on the beach with a book, rather than simply playing or swimming in the sea? Local authorities in Qinhuangdao, northeast China's Hebei Province, have made that easier with six popup libraries on the sand. /Xinhua photo

People are free to walk into the open-air libraries situated on a number of beaches and read, according to Xinhua. /Xinhua photo

These are not the first libraries to appear on the city's beaches. Pictures of this architecturally impressive book center on the sand of Qinhuangdao went viral a few years ago. /CGTN photo
