Where is a second-hand bookstore or a second-hand bookstall in Kunming?
Old bookstores in Kunming are concentrated in Wen Ming Street, west of Jietou Road, and there are several old bookstores. There are second-hand bookshops in Kunming in all directions, but in general, this is the case: the north and east are relatively concentrated and rich, while the south and west are much less. I have only seen one or two small second-hand bookshops near Kuntie South Station and Luosi Bay in the south, and I have sold more than 100 used books. There is a good place to buy books in the west, on News Road, but it is only a wholesale center for large-scale new books and audio-visual products. Comparatively speaking, the east is a good place to buy and sell used books. In the east, there are at least 40 well-developed and large-scale second-hand bookstall. Dashuying, the owner of the second-hand bookstall in the east, should be the first. Dashuying second-hand bookstall is located on the main road leading to Dashuying overpass on Huancheng East Road, adjacent to Kunming Xinzhi (Dongcheng District) Bookstore. In addition, frequent personnel turnover makes its position increasingly prominent. Every day after 18, the old booksellers nearby gather from all directions, and 20 strange old booksellers are located in this area, which makes people unwilling to be passers-by, so they always ask the old booksellers waiting here with nostalgia. Many people, like me, always visit here before 22 o'clock. The old bookseller in Dashuying seems to be a guerrilla fighter. Sometimes, you will see a few unfamiliar faces, and sometimes, you will find that a few familiar avatars are missing. Some seem to be impatient with such lively competition and no longer deal in used books; Some are because the format of old books has been completely changed, and the operation is very easy; The reason why more second-hand booksellers disappeared from one place to another and came here again yesterday is only because they are cruising in this area where people are surging and testing the water market. The second-hand bookstall in Dashuying has almost concentrated the essence of all the second-hand bookstall in Dongcheng District. In Dongcheng District, another recommended second-hand bookstall is located in Bailong Road. It is adjacent to Gong Kun University and Xilin University, so it is naturally valued by second-hand booksellers. On this road, there are not only three or five second-hand bookshops, but also a Bailong second-hand bookstore, which specializes in university textbooks and has a collection of more than a thousand books. In Dongcheng District, after visiting the second-hand book stalls in Dashuying and Bailong Road, I really had a delicious meal to buy second-hand books. The second-hand bookstall in Dongcheng District is really attractive, but compared with the second-hand bookstall in Beicheng, it can be said that it is "dwarfed". The second-hand book trading area of Zhangguanying flea market is not only the largest gathering place of second-hand book stalls in the northern city, but also the largest second-hand book business place in Kunming. It is located at the intersection of Yihua, near Yunnan Ethnic Middle School and many universities, so it is widely favored by people from all walks of life, which is really beyond the reach of other old book stalls. This second-hand book camp was originally located in various stalls in the center of the market, and later moved to the second floor of a building on the left side of the main entrance of the market. Concentrated on nearly 100 large-scale second-hand book stalls operated full-time. In addition to hundreds of old books and periodicals, it also deals in collections such as records, stamps, old envelopes and old tickets. Weekends are not only crowded, but also not deserted. Since 1999 first came to Kunming, I have been looking for books and newspapers related to Luo Binghui, a senior general of the Red Army and the New Fourth Army, in the second-hand book trading area of Zhangguanying. So far, there are more than 200 kinds. I was entrusted by my friends in Nanjing to purchase books, and most of them were purchased from here. In the vicinity of this second-hand book trading area, especially along the Panlong River, in the Binjiang community, in Ma Shang Village (middle and lower), gangtou and other places, there are often second-hand book stalls of different sizes open every evening. There are so many busy old book stalls in the whole northern city that it is really incomparable in other places.
