20 10 On March 29th, Huazhong Book Exchange Center opened. Huazhong Book Exchange Center consists of four buildings, A, B, C and D, which are seven stories high and connected by flying corridors. Buildings A, B and D 1 are the book trading area, building C 1 is the newspaper trading area, floors 2-3 are the book and newspaper trading area, and floors 4 are the book and stationery trading area. The 5-7 floors of each building are business office and dining and leisure areas. At present, it is the largest book business platform in Central China and even the whole country, with perfect service functions and advanced supporting facilities. Huazhong Book Exchange Center, formerly known as Wuhan Book World, was relocated as a whole because the capacity of the book world could not meet the development needs.

Different from the general book and stationery center, this trading center has the functions of copyright trading, creativity, design, printing, leisure, catering and so on. At present, 280 business units have settled in, including 246 books and periodicals business units and 34 stationery, gifts and creative design units.

Huazhong Book Exchange Center is the first phase project of Wuhan Publishing Culture Industrial Park, with a total investment of 300 million yuan, aiming at changing the loose pattern of Bazaar shops in Wuhan's single book wholesale market. The second phase project with a planned area of more than 90,000 square meters is about to start. According to the functional orientation, the second phase of the project will extend the publishing cultural industry chain, and vigorously develop cultural creativity, publishing and printing industries in the original trade functions such as books, periodicals, stationery and gifts. After the second phase of Wuhan Publishing Culture Industrial Park is completed, it will have the functions of publishing, copyright trade, cultural exhibition and so on. It is estimated that the annual sales will reach 2 billion yuan, making it the chief publishing cultural industry super platform in Central China.
