What are the must-visit places in Shenzhen, the treasure city?

Introduce my friends to some great places to go in Shenzhen - the art and literature bookstores. In addition to the Meilin Bookstore and Ljin Library in Futian, there are also Ljin Library and Kubrick in Nanshan. These places are not only for buying and reading books, but also great places to relax and unwind.

Futian District Meilin Bookstore

MERLINBOOKER, a beautiful and cozy lifestyle space, surrounded by tall buildings, yet it stands out with its two-story structure. The white and light wood interior creates a warm and inviting reading atmosphere. The well-organized layout, glass aquariums embedded in the walls, and potted plants scattered throughout add a lively natural touch. The bookstore offers a variety of books and magazines, including Hong Kong and Taiwan publications, foreign editions, and also provides personalized book searching services to meet niche reading needs. Additionally, MERLINBOOKER offers desserts and beverages, as well as occasional exhibitions and events.

The bookstore

"Originally Bookstore" is the first bookstore in mainland China by Hong Kong Commercial Press, connecting the cultural and communication between Hong Kong and Shenzhen through books. Originally Bookstore is located on the third floor of Shenzhen Industrial Park. Originally Bookstore consists of three independent yet interconnected branches, each with its own theme. The Central Branch is the Lifestyle Branch, encompassing books on travel, photography, art, design, and investment. The Humanities Branch covers books on humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and Chinese art. The Parent-Child Branch has 30,000 kinds of children's books.

Nanshan District, Neighboring Book Bar

There is a small rose gold entrance at one corner of the Alibaba Tower, which is Lingers Neighboring Book Bar, a compound cultural space that includes a bookstore, coffee, and desserts. The entrance, with its white marble floor, features rose gold lines that extend from the entrance to the white marble display counter, connecting with the rose gold details inside. The layout of Lingers space is very even, with one side displaying merchandise and the other side covered by rose gold bookshelves spanning an entire wall.

Kubrick Shenzhen store

The bookstore and café are born together with the art film center, creating a multi-sensory experience of visual, auditory, and gustatory delights. The bookstore's overall high-rise design adds a touch of sacredness to the books, which mainly consist of classics. In addition, they also offer music CDs, vinyl records, and more. The bookstore also regularly holds exhibitions, lectures, and sharing sessions.
