The monomer area is the largest in Asia
On July 5, 2004, Shenzhen Book City Center officially started construction. Located in the CBD area of the north central axis of the city center, it covers an area of 43,900 square meters, with a building area of 82,000 square meters and a business area of more than 42,000 square meters. Lotus Hill Park is in the north, Civic Center is in the south, Concert Hall and Library are in the west, Youth Palace is in the east, and buses and subways extend in all directions. According to reports, the Central Book City, designed by Japanese Kurokawa Zhangji Architectural Design Office and Huasen Architectural Design Institute, is an ecological building, which not only meets the functional requirements, but also maximizes the harmony among buildings, people and the environment.
Entering the Central Book City, the reporter noticed that it was divided into three levels: the first floor underground and the second floor above ground. The ground floor consists of south and north areas, which are connected by the second-floor atrium across Fuzhong Road. There is a cloister for tourists to stroll on the first floor, a viewing platform on the second floor, a green ecological square on the roof and a glass lighting belt.
On the east and west sides of the Book City are four green cultural theme parks with an area of 1 10,000 square meters, namely poetry, books, ceremonies and music. There are two broad "green plant lighting patios" in the north and south areas respectively. Through the shiny white glass, you can see the vegetation in the courtyard, and the sun, rain and dew can freely pour. The person in charge of the Book City told the reporter that the two patios were designed according to the traditional concept of "the sky is round and the place is round" in China. Sometimes when I look out at night, a bright moon just hangs on "the sky is round", which is very beautiful!
The person in charge also told the reporter that the Central Book City is a single-story frame structure, with the north area between Lihong Road and Fuzhong No.1 Road, with the east-west length of102.4m and the north-south width of1.51.2m.: To the south of Fuzhong 1st Road is the south area, with the east-west length of 109.2m and the north-south width of100.8m.. The hollow part is 100 meter long, 42 meters wide and 6 meters high. It is the largest single bookstore in China.
The design of the store is very quiet.
As a book city, no matter how well decorated and equipped, readers are most concerned about the quality of the bookstore.
Central Book City has made great efforts in this regard. During the experience, the reporter learned that the publishing business area of the Central Bookstore exceeds 20,000 square meters, among which the publishing center stores are divided into six major areas: humanities and social sciences, economic management, leisure life, language and writing, science and technology, and children's theme stores. In addition, according to different customer groups and their needs, the "Music Time and Space Theme Store" was planned.
In planning, the Central Book City integrates the relevance of readers' needs and readers' preference for reading environment into the layout of the store. The publications in Humanities and Social Sciences, Economic Management, Life and Leisure, Language and Characters, and Music Theme Shop are mainly read by the public and have a wide audience, so these areas are adjacent and located on the first floor of the North District. Considering that readers in the "Humanities and Social Sciences" area spend a long time browsing and buying, they have high requirements for reading environment, are relatively independent and quiet, and the wooden floor is laid, which makes the book more fragrant; Readers in the "Children and Teenagers Theme Shop" and the "Science and Technology" area are all oriented to buy, so they are accompanied by the first floor of the North District, and the "Dynamic Science and Technology Zone" in the middle provides interesting space for teenagers to learn and apply science.
The books in the rattan basket are fragrant and pleasant.
In the bookstore of Central Book City, the reporter saw a novel gadget-rattan basket. The trolleys and plastic shopping baskets used in bookstores are gone, replaced by small yellow rattan baskets, which are neatly placed at various entrances and some corridors.
Wang Fang, the person in charge of the Central Book City, told the reporter that the book city should "see the spirit in details" and pay attention to energy conservation and environmental protection while creating a comfortable book buying environment. Handcarts are abandoned because they are too noisy and easy to collide, which is not suitable for the overall environment of the book city. It takes a lot of thought to change the shopping basket into a rattan basket, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also beautiful and durable.
The details of the Central Book City are not only displayed on rattan baskets, but also in plastic bags, which are environmentally friendly and customers need to pay voluntarily.
According to reports, the background music of the Book City is carefully arranged by professionals, which varies with seasons, weather and time periods, and is a major feature of the environmental construction of the Central Book City.
Personalized bookstore is wonderful.
The Central Bookstore also opened an art design shop, a starlight reading stack room, a second-hand bookstore "Shangshuba" and an imported bookstore "One Bookstore" on the first floor of the South District to meet readers' colorful reading demands from all levels and build a wonderful reading space.
A. Starlight reading stacks
Starlight Reading Stack is a 24-hour bookstore with an area of 400 square meters specially set up in the Central Bookstore, which allows everyone to read day and night. It follows the principle that the reading life here will never stop from the beginning.
According to reports, more than 65,438+0,000 books in the 24-hour bookstore are selected from 200,000 to 300,000 books, which will be adjusted according to market changes and readers' needs. In the evening, Starlight Reading Stack undertakes the function of extending the information and services of publishing center stores and specialty stores. Here, books ordered by readers during the day can be collected at night; Here, readers can order all the shelves and inventory publications of Shenzhen Bookstore on site. As long as the books ordered by readers in the "Starlight Reading Stack" at night are available, the Book City will deliver them to readers for free the next day.
In addition, starlight reading stacks are not isolated. There are also 24-hour convenience stores, teahouses, coffee bars, artists bars and other specialty shops around, which have become a good place for citizens to live and socialize at night.

B. useful documentation bureau
Beneficial Literature Bureau is the first comprehensive foreign language original and Hong Kong and Taiwan bookstore in Shenzhen, which is wholly owned by Shenzhen Distribution (Group) Company. Its main business is to import foreign original books and Chinese books from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
According to reports, there are about 20,000 kinds of books in the bookstore in the early stage, and it will reach 30,000 kinds in the future, covering the bestsellers of mainstream publishing houses around the world. In addition to providing all kinds of spot books, readers can also order scientific, technological, economic and cultural publications from mainstream international publishing houses, which opens a window for Shenzhen citizens to understand the latest international information and trends.
C.shangshuba
Shangshu Bar has a classic and elegant taste from its name. It is a place specializing in ancient books, rare books and second-hand books.
The reporter learned that this "Shangshuba", created by top bookworms, blends wine, coffee and books, performs unique skills in restoring ancient books, holds high-level lectures and forums, and is determined to become the most professional book bar with quality and charm in South China. This is also a highlight of the publishing and operation of the Central Book City.
D. art design shop
According to reports, the art design shop is specially built to echo the positioning of Shenzhen as the "design capital" and let many art designers have their own reading and communication space.
This is the first time that art design shops have set up their own doors, separated from hypermarkets, and presented themselves to readers with an unprecedented variety scale. Readers can enjoy, play, read and meditate while cruising. Only in this way, I'm afraid we can find that art doesn't have to be tall, and art can be so kind and casual.
E. music shikong themed shop
Located on the first floor of the North District, the Music Space-Time Theme Store is divided into three characteristic exhibition halls: music, film and television, and folk art, with nearly 30,000 selected varieties.
Theme stores cover different versions of CDs, music books, music scores and music magazines, breaking through the face of traditional music bookstores and becoming colorful and interesting. Here, from classical music to chilloutmusic, from Newage music to Bassanova, from European jazz to anime music, listening is endless.

There are not only books here.
The propaganda of the Central Book City has long said that there are not only books here. So besides books, what good things are there here?
It is reported that as soon as the Central Book City opened, it made every effort to create characteristic tourist attractions and to appreciate the symbolic node of Shenzhen's cultural atmosphere and taste. It must be able to reflect its tourism function of cultural leisure, and around the basic principle of "circulating books and advocating cultural leisure", let citizens have a richer, healthier and more civilized leisure cultural life. So in addition to books, the reporter really saw a place where everyone could eat, drink, have fun, rest and shop. And these stores are quite famous, not "small roles".
"A book, a cup of tea" is the most ideal reading method in many people's minds. As a new book city, it is of course important to have a strong book, but coffee and tea are also indispensable. Therefore, people will be delighted to find Starbucks, illycoffee, artists' bar, Zi Yuan Teahouse, Kesongfang, Xianjulin and other leisure places, choose their favorite books and sit quietly and read.
The Central Book City is very big, so it takes a lot of time to go around. What should I do if I am hungry? Looking around, there are many brand fast food in the Central Book City. Pizza Hut, KFC, Langwei Life, City Barbecue King, Ajisen Lamian Noodles and Noodle King are all good places to taste delicious food.
The reporter searched carefully and found some sports and leisure brand stores, including adidas, Nike, Kappa, Unix, Li Ning, Anta and other well-known brands. In addition, there are digital technology stores of well-known brands such as Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and ELP. Creative boutiques such as Time Zone, Zippo, Guanhong Youpin, Youlima, Barbie, NICI and Magic Bar can also be seen everywhere. In addition, the Central Book City is also equipped with supporting services such as Guangfa Bank, Wanjia Convenience Store and Kangshimei Pharmacy.
After a stroll, the reporter came to the conclusion that there is indeed "more than just books" here!
