Li Ke-yong Memorial Library Branch, designed in the style of Japan’s Takeuchi Library, is built within a park. The three‑storey building blends with the natural landscape, so that sunlight and greenery fall naturally on readers, creating a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that feels like being in a cozy bookstore. Outside the library, there are coffee vending machines and lounge seating, allowing visitors to sip coffee under the shade of a large banyan tree and surrounded by park greenery, enjoying the mingling scents of books and coffee! Inside, the library features a reading sofa area and gentle artistic lighting, completely soothing every visitor’s mood, so that mind, body, and spirit can find relief from the bustle of the city.
