I just saw this amazing bookstore on Shanghai’s City Weekend. Rounded bookshelves over a massive floor mirror create a gorgeous book tunnel in a brand new bookstore in Yangzhou.

I spent last summer working in Yangzhou, and already noticed visited an awesome option for readers: A 24-hour self-serve public library in one of the busy town greens.

Of course, my Chinese isn’t nearly good enough to read a novel, so I had to content myself with English books on my Kindle from my public library back home.
