...country where per capita annual income remains below $2,000, OCT East's $20 entrance fee is an extravagance for many. Still, a local visitor, Zhang Zihua, says she'll return. "I want to bring my daughter," Zhang says. "I want her to work hard to travel to Europe when she's older." To lure the 10-year-old, Zhang is taking home an irresistible souvenir: a box of imported Swiss chocolates...

Fear not—if you don’t have your own ID, you can always just get swiped in as a visitor. No identification required, no questions asked. Do you know how much tourists will pay to get into Widener? I do. Once you are inside the building, you are just a velvet rope away from all Harry’s collection of rare books. Getting into the stacks takes nominally more effort...
