The Heyuan New Library is a library located in the center of the Heyuan Cultural Park in Guangdong Province, China. The architectural design is unique in that it is inspired by traditional architecture of the Hakka people, one of the largest cultural groups in China. This location is ideal from a Feng-Shui point of view. The library overlooks the central lake from the foot of a small mountain. The essence of the design is based on a structure of five functional blocks arranged on a sloping terrain, overlooking the lake, connecting land to water.
