Books and the River: Quiet Time Wandering on Nakanoshima

#Osaka Attractions Early in the morning, I came to the Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library. This century-old European classical-style building stands in the green Nakanoshima Park. The dome and towering stone columns on the exterior of the library are majestic, while the interior exudes an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. I deliberately chose the historical document area in the library and read several books related to Osaka culture. It was like walking into a time tunnel and feeling the profound heritage of this city. At noon, I took a break in the library's cafe and enjoyed a cup of fragrant coffee and a piece of soft cake. Outside the window was the green trees and river of the park, which made me feel relaxed and happy. In the afternoon, I strolled along the Nakanoshima River, enjoying the gentle breeze and quiet scenery, and visited the Osaka City Central Public Hall. At night, I returned to Nakanoshima Park to enjoy the night view of the riverside dotted with lights, which brought a romantic end to the day.
