The library is located on the top of the Lion Mountain, so it is quite laborious to go up. It is condescending here, surrounded by greenery, and is regarded as an iconic building and spiritual symbol of Wuhan University. In front of this is the cherry top, the old chai house, and the cherry blossom castle. When I went there, the entire cherry blossom avenue was being renovated, so the view was a bit discounted. The library follows the pattern of the hall-style library in the early 19th century in Europe. The black-brown rugged tables and chairs displayed are all original, simple and beautiful, and have been used to this day. Many details are worth playing and learning.

The old library occupies a "work" shape, which is connected by a main building and four annex buildings on both front and back wings. The overall appearance is Chinese traditional hall style, moths and corners, dragon and phoenix curling clouds, which fully reflects the majesty and solemnity of Chinese palace-style architecture. The interior adopts Western-style corridors, hanging towers, stone arches, floor-to-ceiling glass, etc., which will play the architectural style of "Chinese and Western" perfectly and to the extreme
