Is there a bookstore worth visiting in Beijing?

Recently, the 14th national reading survey announced that 20 16 people have nearly 8 books.

Compared with 20 1 1 4.3 books per capita, it has nearly doubled, but it is still lower than Korea's 1 1 book, France's 20 books and Japan's 40 books, not to mention the Jewish 64 books! China is one of the countries with the least per capita reading in the world, which is inconsistent with China's long history of civilization and profound cultural heritage.

Since childhood, we have been taught to "read thousands of books and walk Wan Li Road" and "books are the ladder of human progress", but with the growth of age, we seem to be getting farther and farther away from books. ......

However, in this era of digital media and online shopping wave in physical bookstores, fortunately, in a corner of Beijing, there are still people who insist on running their own bookstores in their own way, silently waiting for you who love reading.

Douban bookstore

Small and warm, new books and old books are mixed, and old books are as low as 60% off. The clerk just sat there reading and chatting gently, friendly and kind.

These books are full of surprises of treasure hunting, especially books published in series. There are many interesting books like this, and you can get new gains every time.

Laoshuchong bookstore

In 20 10, Old Bookworm Bookstore was selected as "Top Ten Bookstores in the World" by the world-famous travel series Lonely Planet, and it was the only Asian bookstore selected. At first glance, it looks like a big warehouse outside, but it is just a warehouse for storing knowledge. It is the most active foreign language bookstore, library and restaurant in Beijing. Some people think it is just a coffee shop with a rich collection of books. Because you can not only read books but also order food here, all kinds of simple food make people linger.

The biggest activity of the bookstore is the annual Bookworm International Book Festival, which invites 60 to 80 writers from all over the world and China writers to visit the bookstore. There will also be some performances, speeches and activities from time to time.
