Zhijiang Cultural Center has a total building area of approx. 320,000 square meters. It is a modern, integrated cultural complex that brings together the Zhejiang Library (Zhijiang New Branch), Zhejiang Provincial Museum (Zhijiang Branch), Zhejiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, Zhejiang Provincial Literature Museum, and a supporting public service center. The four venues are evenly arranged along the perimeter of the site, enclosed in a traditional Jiangnan courtyard layout, with staggered dark gray roofs and white walls with black tiles that echo the architectural style of the Jiangnan region. An open park and sunken courtyard are located in the center of the site, and the underground space connects to each venue, allowing visitors to move between the four venues during their visit.
Each of the four venues has its own focus, combining to form a cultural thread that spans from prehistoric civilization to contemporary literature. The venues feature general history exhibitions, special exhibition halls, ancient book reading areas, intangible cultural heritage displays, and literary archives, incorporating digital displays and immersive experiences. The underground public service center connects to the underground halls of the four venues, linking the overall cultural experience. The central open park and sunken courtyard are perfect for resting and taking photos.
