For the choice of colleges and universities, we should not only consider the geographical location of the school, but also consider the comprehensive strength of the school and what "ace" majors are there. But in fact, when choosing a school, we should also consider the school library. Libraries can also measure the comprehensive strength of a university. Someone once said that "the library is the heart of the university", so university libraries are always built in the most conspicuous places, and most of them are built at the school gate. After all, this is the symbol of the school and the biggest investment.

Every university library is different, but the purpose of building a library is the same, providing students with a good place to study. When we come to the library, we can review our lessons, consult materials and read some extra-curricular books here to enrich our knowledge reserves. Next, I would like to introduce you to a "most beautiful" library, which is called "the most beautiful university library in Asia".

This library is the library of Shantou University. Shantou University, located in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, is a provincial key university jointly established by the Ministry of Education, Guangdong Province and Li Ka-shing Foundation. It is also the only public university funded by a private foundation in the world, and it is a university under the "2 1 1 project" in Guangdong Province. The school has two campuses, the headquarters and the Medical College, with a total area of about 199 1.5 mu and a construction area of about 570,000 square meters. Known as "the most beautiful university library in Asia", it was completed and put into use in 2009.

Shantou University Library has a total construction area of 2 1 1,000 square meters, with 1 1,500 seats, 27 seminar rooms and a comprehensive exhibition, conference and student activity center. There are reading space, study space, book collection space, communication space, language learning hall, reading room, lecture hall, conference room, seminar room, bookstore, activity room and coffee shop teahouse.

Shantou University Library takes the traditional thread-bound bookcase in China as its design concept, and combines modernist techniques to emphasize the sense of lateral, smooth space and mutual penetration, which is called "water wisdom box" by students. The atrium design highlights the position of the spiritual center of the library, creates a solemn atmosphere and provides a good environment for students to study. The bamboo pavilion and study on the second floor are integrated with natural elements, introducing natural sunlight, and cooperating with traditional garden design to green the landscape.

The library of Shantou University is surrounded by a green landscape with light and shadow interlaced and beautiful. There is a sculpture at the main entrance of the library, which adds vitality to the library and is very beautiful. How much do you know about Shantou University Library? Please leave a comment.
