World's Coolest Library Opens in China and It's Breathtaking

World's Coolest Library Opens in China and It's Breathtaking
"The Eye of Benhai", a massive new library containing over 1.2 million books, has become a tourist hotspot for literary lovers all over the world.

Book lovers, pack your bags – one of the coolest libraries in the world has just opened up in China and it is absolutely gorgeous.

The Tianjin Binhai Library, also called "The Eye of Benhai" because of its mirrored spherical centerpiece depicted above, has opened up in the Binhai Cultural District of Tianjin earlier this month.

The 5-story library features a dazzling futuristic interior with rippling shelves and layered terraces that double as steps and seats.

For the more practically-minded viewers who are eyeing the books that are out of reach on the taller shelves, don't worry – the designers used aluminum plates instead of actual literature on the higher terraces in order to keep up with the library's aesthetic.
