要增進文化氣息，最好就是到圖書館，廣州圖書館就是一個最好的選擇，這裡空間非常大，而且藏書量又非常豐富，最特別是這裡的現代化設施，實在很方便。 more »

To increase the cultural atmosphere, the best thing to do is to go to the library, the Canton Library is the best choice, where space is very large, and the books are very rich, especially in this modern setting, which is actually very convenient.

廣圖作爲失業后每日打卡地點，除周三閉關外，風雨無阻陪伴我。臨近花城匯與珠江新城地鐵站，交通與配套設施一應俱全。踏出廣圖門口，可直面小蠻腰之稱的廣州塔與10年亞運會場海心沙。 more »

Near Huacheng exchange and the Pearl River Metro station, traffic and supporting the application of an all. Step out of the door to face the small waist called the Canton Tower and the 10 Asian Games sea heart sand.

Действительно, впечатляют размеры и дизайн библиотеки. Тихо, спокойно, куча людей, которые упорно что-то изучают, кто-то спит, кто-то смотрит фильмы. Можно взять сборник фотографий National Geographic... more »

Indeed, the impressive dimensions and design library. I was shocked to see a bunch of people who persistently studying something, someone asleep, someone is watching movies. You can take a collection of photographs of National Geographic and treat them without hurrying up, plunging into the atmosphere.

An amazing library. Most of the books are in Chinese so be aware of that (but I guess it only makes sense). The maker space on the (8th?) floor is something you have to check out.

The design of the building is beautiful. They have a awesome collection of books and I used to borrow things from here quite often. It is a good place to read and study. Since it's a favorite place where lots of students turn to, it could be pretty packed sometimes. I'd like to check the books out and sit in a nearby cafe. Also the air con freezes me. Location is pretty convenient! It is interconnected to the metro and malls, no trouble to get to even on a rainy day!

Guangzhou Library is a great place. I have visited this library to borrow books many times. At weekends, it may be crowded and noisy. But from Monday to Friday, except close-up at Wednesday, this is a quiet place to read. It's efficient and convenient because almost everything can be done on machines. This also is the held place for some cultural exhibitions that related closely to the Canton history or something else. It is worthy to take a short time to enjoy. Many restaurants locate nearby.
