Step into a real-life wizardry wonderland! Shanghai's Zikawei Library continues casting its spell three years after opening, drawing Potterheads and architecture buffs alike to its magical shelves. 🏰📚
Dubbed 'China's Hogwarts' by visitors, the Xujiahui District landmark features dramatic 15-meter-tall bookshelf walls and floating walkways that would make Dumbledore proud. Designed by British architect David Chipperfield, this cultural hub blends medieval grandeur with Shanghai's modern vibe through underground art spaces and rooftop reading nooks.
Weekends see 📸-snapping crowds exploring its creative markets and lecture halls, proving books still cast powerful magic in our digital age. 'It's like studying in the Great Hall – but with better WiFi,' joked one university student we spoke to.
Pro tip for 2026 visitors: Come weekdays for quieter browsing! The library's sustainable design and cultural programming keep it trending as both an Instagram dream and serious study destination. 🧙♂️💻
