Relics from the past including antique cameras, sewing machines, and abacuses can be found throughout the "Yue Book Bar" - Shanya Study and Time Gallery. Here, people seem to step into a tunnel of time, where they not only read about the past through words but also feel the emotions through old objects.
Shanya Study and Time Gallery is situated in the old streets of Doumen Town, Doumen District, Zhuhai. It blends well with the surrounding arcade buildings, and its nostalgic style has become the main theme of the study's time-travel experience.
Cozy study in the arcade building
Shanya Study and Time Gallery boasts a collection of over 12,000 books. Following a multi-functional operational philosophy, operators have added features such as the "Rural Revitalization Youth Palace," "Yue Book Bar," and a "Visitor Service Center."
According to the spokesperson, the study hosts activities like storytelling sessions, artistic creativity workshops, art floral arrangements, and calligraphy classes, promoting the holistic development of children and youth.
Notably, Shanya Study and Time Gallery has an exclusive backyard with flowers, leaf plants, scenic pathways, small sculptures, stone features, leisure tables, and chairs, providing readers with a leisurely resting place.
At the study, when the bright sun shines, holding a steaming cup of coffee, visitors can head to the outdoor balcony on the second floor and the rooftop terrace on the third floor to enjoy the rural countryside scenery of Doumen, overlooking the famous Jintai Temple, and spend a pleasant afternoon.
13 distinctive Shanya Studies
Shanya Study and Time Gallery is a microcosm of the "Yue Book Bar" in Doumen, Zhuhai. It is understood that there are a total of 13 Shanya Studies that have been put into use in Doumen, each with its unique characteristics and themes. Examples include Shanya Study and Children Hall nestled in Doumen Citizen's Park, Shanya Study and Yuxiu Hall, which creatively repurposed a century-old Western-style building, and the first rural study, Shanya Study and Huangjin House.
These bookish havens, filled with literary charm, offer a new type of public cultural space that combines leisure reading, artistic activities, and cultural salons, injecting fresh vitality and vigor into public cultural services in this era.
It is reported that since the opening of these public cultural spaces, they have collectively welcomed over 300,000 visitors and organized more than 700 cultural promotion events.
