Several literary and artistic check-in spots that caught fire in Beijing before they opened for business

Shanghai's "Most Beautiful Bookstore," Zhongshu Ge, has just opened its first store in Beijing. The mirrored walls, arched ceilings, staircase, vintage lighting fixtures, and bookshelves extending from the floor to the ceiling create an ambiance reminiscent of Hogwarts.

Zhong Shu

The title of 'most beautiful bookstore' is attributed to its design. The two-story high curved bookshelves meet at the ceiling, and the mirrored surfaces double the visual depth of the space, creating an effect reminiscent of the magical world of Harry Potter.

Model Bookstore

The 'Model Bookstore' has opened its fourth store in Beijing, currently in a trial operation phase. It was formerly a century-old Christian church, having undergone changes over time and a redefinition of its function. It is dedicated to exploring the true meaning of culture.

Little B

A newly defined beauty space that captures the aesthetics of life's details, offering multiple forms for diverse enjoyment. An immersive experience that encourages interaction and exploration.

READWAY

As the escalator at the entrance rises, rows of open bookshelves come into view, creating a strong sense of ceremony. The store name READWAY means 'the way of reading, the path of growth'.

China Railway Museum · East Suburb Exhibition Hall

Trains that have traveled billions of kilometers and traversed China's mountains and seas are placed here after retirement. After being washed by time and journeys, the strength and beauty of the train machinery become even more profound, retro, and charming.

Xiaodao

Xiaodao, a newly opened space by Gao Xiaosong in Beijing, is a 350-square-meter, two-story island of arts and literature. The books, films, and music are all from Gao Xiaosong's private collection and recommendations. It is open to the public for free. Come and join the island, become an islander.
