Jiaye Library, Private library in Nanxun District, China
The library building stands next to the Lesser Lotus Manor, featuring traditional Chinese architecture with pavilions, corridors, and a lake filled with lotus plants.
Liu Chenggan, from a prominent banking family, established the library in the 1920s to house his collection of rare publications from different Chinese dynasties.
The library collection comprises 150,000 woodcut plates and includes sections of the Yongle Encyclopedia alongside drafts of the Siku Quanshu imperial compilation.
The facility maintains regular hours from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with entrance fees included in the Nanxun Ancient Town admission ticket of 95 yuan for adults.
The documents stored in this library regarding Sino-Indian borders served as reference materials during the 1962 Sino-Indian War diplomatic negotiations.
