I love visiting bookstores, looking at neatly arranged books and smelling books, and the whole person will calm down. There are many bookstores with unique and beautiful designs, and it is not bad to punch in and take pictures. Besides one-way street and Sisyphus, there are so many bookstores worth visiting.
1. The poetry space of the model bookstore is really hot recently. In fact, this is the fourth branch opened by Model Bookstore. The first three branches also have their own characteristics, but this one was transformed from a Christian church built in the early 20th century. It has retro buildings, stained glass windows and curved domes. Every place is so beautiful that you can take pictures with your mobile phone and sell coffee with your hands.
Address: Former site of China Anglican Church (Changchun Street Station of Line 2), No.85 Tonggelin Road, Xicheng District.
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 10:00- 18:30.
2. Chinese chain bookstore, whose predecessor, Shanghai Store, is known as the most beautiful bookstore, and it is also very eye-catching in Beijing this year. The most famous is the design similar to the library. Walking into the bookstore is like entering the magical world of Harry Potter. There is a children's section, and it is also appropriate to take care of children.
It is said that Zhong's second branch in Beijing will open in Xidan early next year, which is much bigger than Zhongguancun. I am looking forward to it.
Address: Floor 2, Block B, No.2 Academy of Sciences South Road, Haidian District (Zhichunli Station on line 10)
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 10:00-20:30.
Today, I read a book in Yan (Wang Fu Zhonghuan Store) chain bookstore. I went to Wangfujing Store. Compared with the first two stores, Yan is a well-behaved online celebrity bookstore. There are many peripheral products and coffee drinks, and there are sometimes activities on weekends. There is a "Yanbao Paradise" reading area specially designed for children, which can take children to study and take photos together. Stairs, bookshelves and coffee areas are all suitable for taking pictures.
Address: Floor 1-2, Zhongxi Building, Wangfujing, Wang Fu, Dongcheng District (1 Line Wangfujing Station)
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 10:00-22:00.
4. A few years ago, I frequented the PageOne bookstore chain in Sanlitun, which became even more popular after it opened in Beijing Square. It has three floors, and the hottest place to take pictures is in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. It is worth mentioning that this is a 24-hour shop.
Address: Qianmen Beijing Plaza, Xicheng District (Zhushikou Station of Line 7)
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, all day.
5. The Island Library opened a small island library behind the miscellaneous library, with an area of only over 300 square meters. Bookstores are more accurate than libraries, because you only read books, don't sell books, don't drink water and don't eat.
You need to make an appointment through the official WeChat account in advance, with no more than 200 people per day. Verify the information with your ID card, and enter after reporting your mobile phone number. There will be a bracelet after registration, and you can bring it in and out during opening hours. The camera is forbidden to take pictures.
Address: 9th Floor, Joy City, Chaoyang District (Qingnian Road Station on Line 6)
Opening hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 10: 00-22: 00.
