Photo Diary of a Travel in Guangdong (26)—Zhongshuge, Guangzhou

After walking around Yongqingfang on the edge of Lychee Bay, we returned to Enning Street.

Passing by the Bahe Guild Hall again, the door opened, but I couldn’t get in.

It is indeed being renovated inside.

Saw the coppersmith shop on Enning Road again.

Unintentionally, I saw a bookstore – Zhongshuge

Zhongshuge is a bookstore \”native\” in Shanghai. It opened in April 2013. It has been praised as \”Shanghai\’s most beautiful bookstore\” and has become a striking cultural landmark in Shanghai. It is regarded as one of the most beautiful bookstores in Shanghai. A benchmark for the transformation of physical bookstores. Now Zhongshuge has moved out of Shanghai and settled in Guangzhou. I am lucky enough to visit it today. An overview of this \”most beautiful bookstore in Shanghai\”. Zhongshuge Yongqingfang store incorporates many Lingnan cultural elements into its design. The exterior of the bookstore is made of red bricks, with floor-to-ceiling windows and black walls printed with characters and architectural patterns from different countries. The wooden door with gold letters on the bottom is described by some consumers as \”like a library with historical heritage\”

Pushing the door in, what you see in front of you is amazing It feels like you have entered a mysterious and peaceful world. The various cultural and creative supplies at the door are a bit dazzling.

Mirror ceilings and British classical style table lamps show the distinctive personality of Zhongshuge. A large number of glass elements are used in the store decoration, making it Books look more diverse, creating a \”kaleidoscope\” world of flowers.

The ear-shaped decorative ceilings on both sides complement the Lingnan characteristics and uniquely highlight the characteristics of the ceiling and floor of the Guangzhou store. They all have reflective designs, giving everyone a visual illusion. The spire and the lights above make the whole space feel like a time tunnel.

The first floor of the bookstore has space functions such as a book exhibition area, a reading area, and a cultural and creative area. The overall space is like a \”street\” extending in depth, with a \”bookcase door\” that simulates the \”swinging door\” of Lingnan. ” is divided into three areas.

The collection covers Chinese classical literature, Chinese studies, famous translations, British and American literature, Asian literature, collections of Chinese literary works, economics and management Bestsellers, biographies, Chinese history, world history and other categories.

Passing through the first book exhibition area from the bookstore entrance, you can enter the core area with the most design highlights on the first floor – this area uses black gold tones and a black gold mirror covering the entire ceiling as the main design element. The mysterious and retro \”Magic Library\”

Zhongshuge Yongqingfang store also displays Lingnan architectural culture on a large scale to restore the imprint of the era life carried by Xiguan House. The Yongqingfang store is unique and has become an artistic flower in the bookstore. It has become the artistic flower of the bookstore in the quaint ancient street of Yongqingfang in Liwan District, and is deeply loved by readers.
