The Most Beautiful Study Room

The Waibaidu Bridge, forged from steel, spans across the Suzhou Creek. The century-old rivets and rust tell the tale of its vicissitudes, and the grayish-white bridge body forms a delightful contrast with the glistening ripples of the water. When footsteps echo on the retro bridge planks, and the moment one turns past the carved railings, the outline of the "Shanghai Morning" Reading Room on the opposite bank clearly emerges in the morning glow by the riverbank.
