These two days just happened to see the news that the first Chinese bookstore in Central Asia opened in Bishkek. Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan and an important post station on the ancient Silk Road. Autumn in October, autumn is getting stronger, and this famous cultural city with a long history welcomes the first bookstore with the theme of China, Shangsi Bookstore.
Shangsi Bookstore, located at No.61Manas Street, Bishkek. Besides China books and Kyrgyz books, there will be various talent shows and activities in China. It seems that Manas Street is about to become a haunting place for book fans in this country.
There are also some beautiful bookstores on the streets of Chengdu, which have noble and mysterious temperament, comfortable and charming environment or warm and moving stories.
Next, on the streets of Chengdu, I traveled all over the streets and began to look for the most beautiful bookstore in Chengdu for book lovers.
My first memory of Chengdu Bookstore was when I was a child. When I was in junior high school, I liked to choose books and magazines at the Sichuan Book Fair. Because I made up math, physics and English there, I am familiar with this place. Before moving, its address was in Lihua Street, named after the pear flower. Every time I come here, it is a crowded scene. I saw many people buying books here, and I don't know how many old Chengdu people remember. Until one day in high school, I came here and it moved away. I used to look for food nearby when I was reading here. At that time, there was a Korean bibimbap shop opposite, which was particularly delicious. There are meat, chicken legs, eggs, vegetables and rice mixed with seasonings, which are especially nutritious. There are rice noodles next to the book fair, surrounded by mirrors. They taste particularly sour and refreshing. I ate all the way from junior high school to high school and brought my classmates to eat. The relocation of the book market was difficult for me to understand at that time. How can I leave without saying a word?
When I was in high school, I had to change my job and study in Chengdu Book Center at the intersection of Gaoshengqiao. Later, I learned that it is not only the largest bookstore in the western region, but also the first bookstore in China that allows readers to read in the store.
Later, I found that many bookstores in Chengdu appeared like mushrooms after rain, and many bookstores even became scenic spots, so I began to look for and explore.
"Slow life" is a unique way of life in Chengdu. Coffee with dessert, books, sunshine, rocking chair, the comfortable time of the day is so perfect, or just quietly holding a book and watching an afternoon. Chengdu people love books and reading, and there are more than 700 physical stores in Chengdu. This is the love of Chengdu people from literature and art to their bones. There are many pleasant lifestyles in Chengdu. During this time, I went to the bookstore in Chengdu for an aesthetic search and visited it.
Some people say, "To understand the cultural temperament of a city, go and see its bookstores".
Cat's Sky City, an independent bookstore, was initially attracted by its name, and it was very imaginative to use animals as names. The decoration facade of its home is made of wood and inlaid glass. Taking pictures gives people the feeling that they should be here, and people and bookstores are integrated.
Cat's Sky City deals in minority books: tourism, art, picture books and literature. The cultural and creative area of the store sells all kinds of literary gadgets: postcards, hand-drawn maps, souvenirs, etc. The highlight of its home is the postcard theme "Send to the future". On the right side of the entrance is a postcard wall, where you can write down your expectations and words for the future and write down a wish list to be realized in the future. You can also write words such as blessings to your friends. On that day, the cat's sky city will be sent to you or others at that time. Then you can test how many wish lists you have completed, and then make persistent efforts!
Suddenly I want to ask how long it's been since you looked up at the sky. Each of us is a product of habit, accustomed to nine to five, accustomed to sameness, accustomed to taking the same road every day. It's time to inject fresh blood and breathe fresher oxygen. Reading and walking can help us find a more perfect self, make our dreams concrete and make us like a different life. Each of us is looking forward to our own "city of the sky".

Standing at the door, you can enjoy the cultural curtain wall marked by the clock. In Chengdu, Sichuan culture naturally blends in. When I walked in, I saw a "bamboo bookshelf", which shuttled through the bamboo forest and saw a red brick wall. Climb the red-brown stairs and come to the lecture hall. This is a unique terrace structure in Sichuan, full of local flavor. And the children's area is very similar to Alice in Wonderland.

The old bookworm gives me the feeling like; As soon as I walked in, I saw some foreigners chatting happily at a very low volume, and I also saw some China people who should be English lovers or having a party with foreign friends. Almost all the books are in English. It is said that there are more than 5,000 English books, as well as western-style simple meals and authentic coffee. It is more like a warm home when it is open until 1 am every day. There are only three bookworms in China, and Chengdu is one of them.

The nine-party anthology books can be called an oasis in the bookstore, with fresh green plants everywhere, which makes people's eyes very comfortable.
