Count the bookstores on Ludao, coming from dawn and lighting up in the dark. Have they ever warmed you?
1- Desert Island Library-Xiaoyudao Bookstore
This is a non-governmental public welfare library, a bookstore that collects second-hand books such as literature, art, history, social sciences, tourism and culture. Book lovers are allowed to store and exchange old books here.
There are no best-selling new books here, only old books collected from various places or donated by islanders; Not only second-hand books are sold here, but also books can be borrowed and exchanged. As long as you have an Islander card, you can never regard this place as your own library.
This small shop, which has been open for eight years, has quietly made a warm home for books, conveying the tacit understanding between books.
Everyone habitually calls him Lao Dao, the owner of Xiaoyudao Desert Island Library. It seems that not many people really know his real name.
There are all the little boys in the bookstore who are eager to study but reluctant to go home, and there are also 90-year-old grandfathers who are sincere and serious.
Everyone who has been to Xiaoyu Island is like a book here, coming with stories and going back with stories.
There are more than 600 libraries, large and small, on the desert island, some are art spaces, some are cafes, and almost only one lives purely by books like Xiaoyu Island.
Address: No.0/45, minzu road/KLOC, Siming District (opposite to the bus refrigeration plant station)
2- Not in the bookstore
At Huaxin Road 13, a single-family villa is hiding in it, with red flowers and green plants looming from time to time. Not in the bookstore, right here.
Known as "the most beautiful bookstore in China", its design is also unique. The white sign says the elements it covers: books, flower houses, coffee, simple meals, folk songs, portraits and composite spaces. Books are only part of it, but they are also the first.
The name "Not in the Bookstore" is taken from the definite English ONCE, the name of an Irish classic film, which symbolizes those pure, simple and fleeting beauty.
There are books on literature, art and life in the bookstore, as well as various Taiwan Province books and Hongkong books that are hard to find in the market, as well as some independent books and original books. If you don't buy books about success, popular online literature will remain concerned but will not be sold to cater to readers and the market.
If you are lucky, you may meet a literary giant's book signing party, or a poetry reading party, or join a minority art cinema to share.
Address: Huaxin Road 13
3- Hupo Bookstore
Handmade tea, coffee, sunshine, sea, used books, special price books, etc. Are the characteristics of the store. The arrangement of abacus, wheat, typewriter, sewing machine, TV and even flowers and plants in the store gives people a retro and comfortable feeling.
This bookstore is very small in scale. Books are sold on the first floor, and there are books for drinking tea and coffee on the second floor. Occasionally, there will be independent films and interesting sharing sessions.
The owner's service is in place, so that customers have a feeling of reading in their own study. The door was full of guests, and Amo greeted him with a smile. When he sees a regular customer, he will also hand over a cup of hot tea.
Amber facing the sea, besides reading, is especially suitable for sitting outdoors, ordering a cup of warm rice wine and talking about life.
Address: Floor 1, China Children's Art Museum, Daxue Road, Siming District.
4- Sisyphus Bookstore
Sisyphus's name comes from Greek mythology. As a chain bookstore, it has always adhered to the principle of participating in local life, so even as a chain store, it has always been integrated into regional characteristics.
Sisyphus is very unique, and it is opened in a shopping mall. In fact, "there is another attempt." Sisyphus also hopes to make a modest contribution to the reading of 0.7 books per capita in China. It is Sisyphus's hope to make the crowded business district slightly stimulate the fun of reading and promote public reading.
The orange walls in the shop give people a warm feeling. Another warmth of Sisyphus comes from its selection and display of books. There are more than 23,000 kinds of books in the store, which are high-value window design. Bookstores introduce experiential consumption mode, sell coffee and cultural and creative products, and often hold literary lectures, salons, writers' meetings and other activities.
Sisyph emphasized the buyer system in book purchasing. These buyers have rich working experience in physical bookstores and understand the trend and trajectory of market hotspots. Books will be changed frequently when displayed, so that readers can find new surprises every time they come, and there will be no aesthetic fatigue.

5- The Age of Paper
In a conspicuous place in the store, it says: complete reading, deep thinking. The era of paper is intended to watch an oasis of culture and remember and continue an era with the exchange of ideas. Shocking bookshelves, nine meters high, look particularly spectacular. I finally have a chance to experience the dazzling books and pictures I saw in western movies and TV plays since I was a child.
In particular, the books here are sold at Dangdang real-time price, with a minimum discount of 6.5%! In addition to the coffee area and reading area, there are salon area, exhibition area and box. Salon area mainly holds some small-scale signing, interaction and sharing activities, and also invites people from North Island to share. The exhibition area will continue to display the works of some contemporary artists.
There is a paragraph written on one wall of the shop:
The meeting of paper and words is my time.
This is the worst time.
This is the best time.
This is the "paper age" for which we are striving.
Wish, there is a tiger in your heart, smell roses.
If storytelling is a bright light on the road of life, then the paper age is the fuel supplier of this bright light.
Address: Alohai Shopping Plaza, Haicang
6- Yuntai Bookstore
The ancient meaning of the word "Yuntai" is: a place to collect books. The positioning of Yuntai is: "to be a bookstore with temperature." Nowadays, as the name of a bookstore, it has gradually become a utopia in the hearts of many book lovers. In Xiamen, Yuntai, which doesn't take selling books as its responsibility, doesn't close the door for 24 hours.
Although Yuntai has many great drinks, they only admit that they are a great book. You can read any books in the shop, even unopened new books.
At present, there are two Yuntai bookstores in Xiamen, located in Lucca Town and World Trade Center. The "Yuntai" in Lucca Town, because it is a bookstore in the sales office, is extremely spacious. Coupled with the quiet atmosphere and the iron triangle headphones and blankets for readers at night, the "Yuntai" has gradually become as warm as home. It is not only a bookstore selling books, but also hopes to provide readers with the best reading space.
I am very happy that there is such a comfortable and quiet paradise suitable for reading and sharing in the cement forest of the noisy city. They are simple, clean and pure, holding a small heart and holding a warm reading lamp for the night in this city.
Address: 3 18, World Trade Mall, Xiahe Road
7- More than Bookstore
Not only is the bookstore designed by Japanese designer Shuhei Aoyama, but the concept of "City Gate" is also on the important axis of Xiamen University.
Shuhei Aoyama hopes that this store will become a part of Xiamen University students' homes, because university dormitories rarely have their own space and quiet reading places. He hopes this place can be their living room or study.
From the central axis of the bookstore, to the new school gate of Xiamen University, and then to the sea over there, the door of the whole city is opened through a bookstore.
Address: atrium, 1st floor, Qunxian Building, Xiamen University
8- Xiamen University Time
The meaning of "Xiamen University Time" is: we are the unknown of time, from the front of the writing sword finger to the depth of the pen where the adventure is about to begin, from silent reading to reality, from here to there.
As we don't know, all the explorations about time will be included in time again. Simple doors and windows exude a book fragrance, and the fresh, elegant and pure artistic conception makes people feel happy and purifies the soul. -Xiamen University Time Bookstore injects new content and vitality into historical landmarks.
Time Bookstore has broken through the dull and traditional space of bookstores in the past. All bookshelves are twisted, bent or inclined, full of tension and simple techniques, but they create a sense of fluidity full of infinite possibilities.
Address: No.422, Siming South Road (near the statue of Jia Geng, Ximen, Xiamen University)
9- Xiaofeng Book House
Fujian Xiaofeng Bookstore was founded in Zhangzhou, but Xiamen is regarded as the second hometown. Xiamen Xiaofeng is the most famous one on Xiamen University Road. As the soul of several generations of Xiamen University students, Xiamen University's rich academic atmosphere should be his confidence.
Xiaofeng's store is not big, but it has great influence. Celebrities from all walks of life have been there. It is said that Professor Yi Zhongtian was a frequent visitor here before he became famous. After several storms, Fujian Xiaofeng once changed from nearly 20 franchise chain stores to only a few, but no matter how it changed, Xiamen University Xiaofeng always seemed to be the last one to stick to it.
