The generous BOOLINK opened on the 5th floor of Hunan Xinhua Building is a place that sells knowledge, and it is also a place derived from it. The cultural community provides a cultural space for people walking in a hurry in the city.
Although it is located in a busy city, it seems to be a "paradise". Enjoying a quiet reading time here is a wonderful enjoyment of life~

The Lezhi Bookstore, located at the former site of Mobil Foreign Company, incorporates Chinese architectural techniques. Its red and green colors are full of retro atmosphere, creating a sense of visual comfort.
When you walk into the bookstore, the atrium has a unique shape, like a flying boat moving forward in the Xiang River. With the sound of the waves of the Xiangjiang River in different periods, the poetic and picturesque feeling of "a hundred boats quarreling in the current, and a flying boat stopping in the waves" emerges spontaneously.
A variety of books on Hunan and Hunan, including classics, political history, academic culture, and ecology, open a window for tourists from all over the world to understand Hunan culture.
The world outside the book is equally exciting. Looking out through the doors and windows on the second floor, the green eyes will drive away all fatigue. When you come to Orange Island, you can order a cup of coffee here and immerse yourself in a book~

Bookstore address: 200 meters up the slope alley next to the Party School on Baiyun Road, Yuelu District.
At the foot of the tree-lined Yuelu Mountain, a small two-story bungalow bookstore with a separate courtyard opened. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor of the house, you can clearly see the bookshelves made of old pine trees in the house, as well as the people sitting by the windows reading quietly.
The name of the store comes from the representative work "In the Mirror" by Changsha poet Zhang Cao. The word "In the Mirror" is imaginative with its natural sense of space and independence.
Most of the books in the store are of the "Poetry and Philosophy" and "Art Travel" types, and there are also a large number of books about Changsha
The second floor is a spacious cultural living room. Recently there was the short film "Heart of the Broken Sun" and the joint exhibition "Red and Green Drawers". If you are interested, you can go and have a look~
On the rooftop of the third floor, you can read books and listen to stories, but don’t be too comfortable~

World Bookstore is located at A1-2F, Yanghutian Street, Changsha City, with the theme of "New Wave of Reading" "" is the theme of the overall store space, with the true presentation of a better life as the destination of space design, giving the space romantic design thinking.
The bookstore combines the landscape features of Yuelu Mountain and the Xiangjiang River and integrates elements such as green plants, numbers, tiles, and waterlines into the design.
The flowing curved bookcases are like winding water mountains, making you feel relaxed and comfortable both physically and mentally.
Outside the bookstore, the phrase "Changsha is an open book" on the two-story giant screen wall dominated the circle of friends for many days! I'm wondering if you've clocked in yet.
Different people in Changsha read this book in different ways, but here, whether it is a popular book or an unpopular niche book, you can always find the one you like.
The store also has a collection of nearly 4,000 vinyl records and 5,000 CDs. The styles cover classical, jazz, rock, electronic, country and pop. Listening to the retro CD, I feel like I am back in junior high school for a second.
Not only that, the bookstore also has sections such as books, classes, ten o'clock, delicious food, coffee, and learning. This is enough to waste an afternoon here.
6. Zhuoyu Study Thrift Shop
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 10:00-22:30.
Address: 2nd Floor, 3rd Floor, Building 6, Fisherman's Wharf, Yuelu District
Bookstores have always been romantic, but I saw fireworks in Zhuo Yu's study.
In Zhuoyu, there are almost no so-called success studies and best-selling books, but niche categories such as philosophy, art, and poetry dominate here.
The second floor is the children's literature area, covering an area of ??about 20 square meters. Every book here is carefully selected by the person in charge of the bookstore, so both children and the elderly can find their own place.
What is even more surprising is that the third floor of Zhuoyu Retro Store is also a good place to read during the day, which is quiet and comfortable. The store also has a variety of old books and photo albums. Opening an old book at random, the ink marks and fragrance between the seams of your hands, as well as the real sinking feeling, make people relax for a long time.
It is more like a small museum. There are many old objects with decades or centuries of history, various ancient furniture and porcelain, which have experienced the scouring of time, leaving behind meticulous details. Craftsmanship and precious traces of life.
