Opened to the public in 2018, the Chunshu Library is a medium-sized library tucked away in a hutong ally in downtown Beijing. The building, a quadrangle dwelling, is the former residence of famous Chinese journalist Lin Baishui (1874-1926). The residence was rated as a foremost protected cultural heritage site in Xicheng district in 1990.
