Cheryl Kong | 2026-05-07

If you’re planning a visit to Yantian District, this lighthouse‑shaped library is a great place to start your trip. Compared with the popular Dameisha and Xiaomeisha beaches, this area is much quieter and the air feels noticeably fresher.

📍 It’s located along the Shatoujiao Ocean Park boardwalk, just a few minutes’ walk away.

The moment you step inside, the vibe is incredible:

  • 🔾 A spacious atrium at the top with a large reading table for kids

  • 🔾 Wooden seating booths around the edges, each offering a clear view through the windows

  • 🔾 Multiple floors leading all the way to the top — every corner is thoughtfully designed and poetic

  • 🔾 At the very top, you can enjoy a panoramic ocean view 🌊

  • 🔾 Outside, there’s a cafĂ© nearby where you can read, snack, and enjoy the sea at the same time 💖

It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing weekend or holiday visit with family.

🌿 Nearby Attractions

  • đŸ”č Right outside is the seaside boardwalk, where you can stroll along the coast

  • đŸ”č Next door is One Mall — super convenient for food, drinks, and shopping. The outdoor plaza is lively with vendors and small stalls 🏼

  • đŸ”č The nearest metro station is Haishan Station, making it easy to reach by subway 🚇
