A public library built in the style of a classic Chinese garden in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, has been accused of changing into a high-end club for rich people.
The city's park and heritage management bureau told China News Service yesterday that it has ordered the library to suspend its dining service and denied the existence of a luxury club in the library.
The library was built in 1996 with cash donation of about 14 million yuan (US$2.2 million) from China's bestselling kung fu novelist Louis Cha, better known by his pen name Jin Yong.
The library is supposed to be a tranquil retreat for writers and scholars, but it was found to have transformed into a luxury club for wealthy businessmen and government officials.
