Teleport here in three, two, one...
It has everything and for all tastes; the bookstore yangzhou zhongshuge , in Zhen Yuan, is so excessive and eclectic that it could only be from a country that is both capital and commune, freedom and prison, tradition and modernity. The XL-Muse studio is behind this almost unorthodox idea of what a bookstore should be, and has filled every corner of the space with a imagination that seems to come straight out of the books.
In this way, there is an area in which the volumes seem fill a tunnel thanks to an arch that is reflected on the ground through black mirrors. In it, moreover, there is also a "river of letters" , honoring the river near the establishment itself, which often transported poets and writers. The design of the place is based, in fact, in aquatic forms and in the typical bridges of the population.
Rivers and bridges, the inspiration
There is another area where you can sit and read in intimate cubicles under the light of what appear to be stars. The one beyond has shelves that reach the sky, and there is a whiter one, aseptic, almost spatial.
But the best, without a doubt, is the little ones area , which has a roller coaster, a merry-go-round, a giant tree and many other scenarios as out of Charlie and the chocolate factory. Also, in keeping with the spirit of children, most of the furniture they can be moved, changed places or become something else, like tables, when needed. Shall we get the ticket now?
How much time would we need to look at everything?
'Shut up and take my money'
Reading by starlight... or almost
the space room
The children's area is the best!
Even the most reluctant would become a reader here
Having kids just to bring them to this bookstore...
