Waking along Xisi South Street, visitors will be attracted by small shops lined on both sides as well as the shadow of a tower at one corner in the west. This is the Pagoda of Monk Wansong that is built to commemorate the famous monk Wansong in the Yuan dynasty.

Coming closer, you will find that the tower is at the center of a small yard where Zhengyang Bookstore locates. Entering the door, you can see pots of flowers are everywhere and the root of the tower is surrounded by some pomegranate trees. Isn't it like a small garden?

Zhengyang Bookstore is beside the Pagoda of Monk Wansong that was built over 800 years ago, specifically selling literature about Beijing, including books of historical culture, custom culture, hutong culture and food culture.

In this ancient courtyard, readers can not only read leisurely, but also see objects related to old Beijing, such as lintels and stone piers.

If you come to Zhengyang Bookstore on a warm afternoon, you may also encounter the docile cat taking a lazy nap.
