Entrepreneur keeps love of reading afloat

Three boats linked by ropes and docked off the coast of Sanya, Hainan province, are loaded not with nets, tackle or flopping fish - but instead are filled to the gills with books.

Holding over 3,000 paperbacks and hardcovers, the disused boats form a floating library on West Maozhou Island.

The library was founded by Qin Jiayi in August, 2017, and is free to use for the 4,000 residents and tourists.
