Jingxi Shuju Bookstore

Jingxi Shuju bookstore is located on Moshikou Street, with a slope-like green tile dome and a large area of the glass wall, which constitutes the visual spatial rhythm of the store.

The store is simple and bright, with a predominantly white tone and streamlined bookshelves that outline a quiet reading space. Near the door is the book area, with rounded circular bookshelves and a delicate book house enclosed in the central area. The store has a staggered open-shelf layout, where you can find a variety of books, including astronomy, geography, literature, history and philosophy, as well as children's books.    

Inside, the quiet space is turned into a study room. The high ceiling space design makes the self-study area particularly bright. The large wooden table, the lingering smell of books, and the companions immersed in studying make people go back to the school era in a trance.

Jingxi Shuju has also created a cultural and creative space with camel, bell, and ancient road elements as the main and life aesthetics as the supplement. Readers can feel the fragrance of books, and buy cultural and creative products such as Moshikou cultural shirts, pillows, and key chains.   

Address: 7-2, Moshikou Street, Shijingshan District, Beijing.

Wansheng Shuyuan Bookstore   

In October 1993, Wansheng Shuyuan Bookstore was established. The bookstore operates academic and ideological books such as humanities, social sciences, ancient books, dictionaries, etc., as well as art, literature, audio-visual, and fine business administration books. It also boasts a cafe shop in the store, where readers can drink coffee while reading books. 

The bookstore does not have so many gorgeous decorations or literary and artistic gadgets, and the placement of books also takes convenience as the main consideration. Walking into the bookstore, you can know what is the paradise of books. Books are piled straight to the ceiling, and there are ladders on each shelf for easy access.  

Wansheng Shuyuan Bookstore has long become a cultural landmark in Beijing. Here, you can quietly spend time with your books.

Address: No. 59-1, Chengfu Road, Haidian District, Beijing
