I read an article introducing Guangzhou Bookstore a few years ago. The article introduced several characteristic bookstores, and I always wanted to visit these characteristic bookstores in Guangzhou, but sometimes I just rushed past and failed to get my wish. This time there was finally time. I found the United Bookstore closest to me, which was only 500 meters away. After returning from the museum, I rested in the hotel and didn't go out until the sun became warmer at 5 or 6 o'clock.

Walking is walking through streets and alleys in the Urban area. You can see the market life of the local people.

United Bookstore:

Address: No. 314, Beijing Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City

Follow the navigation all the way to Union Bookstore. Unexpectedly, Beijing Road, a bustling tourist and shopping street today, was once a bookstore street during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Among them,"Zhonghua Bookstore" is located in today's Lianhe Bookstore. The bookstore is located under a traditional arcade building and is a six-story building. Looking outside the store, it is spacious and bright, with the yellow lights warm and tranquil.

The large glass windows, glass doors, and warm lights make this place like a world of light and shadow. The many small objects in the window make the place look very literary and petty.

The room in the house is not big but long. As soon as I entered the door, my eyes were confused by a dazzling array of objects. Fortunately, I am used to the bookstore. It is no longer the bookstore of our childhood. It would be more appropriate to call all well-run bookstores nowadays "Shuxiang Art Museum".


These colorful and exquisite little objects on the first floor, not to mention the children, even I am full of joy and evoke my lingering innocence...


At first glance, I really don't know what the function of some things is. I have to look at the name to guess. I lamented that the current product has a full sense of design.

The sun blooms

Every space, from the ground to the wall, every space is occupied. They are not the same kind, but they are so harmonious and friendly when they depend on each other, which makes me love them.

All kinds of unique small potted plants are not only eye-catching, but also bloom with the light of life, making people feel happy.

had their own thoughts


There will also be poems from afar in its eyes!

The laziness is really envied by those of us who are busy all day long.

After being hit by all kinds of cute things, I finally saw the protagonist here-the book. This is the new bestseller area.

Climbing up to the second floor, the staircase uses different forms to introduce the functions of each floor. It can be seen from here that the current bookstore has become a creative life hall with the aroma of coffee. Bookstores operate a composite space of cultural creativity, coffee, and aesthetics. In addition to the variety of books and novel and interesting handicrafts, they used various tricks to attract us into the bookstore. The purpose of bookstores in doing this is to reserve a living space for paper books and continue the life of paper books.


The space on the second floor was used as much as possible by books. I like the well-organized layout and warm lighting in the bookstore.

Books also occupy their own space on a desk, bookshelf, windowsill, or just a small chair in the most comfortable way possible.



While I was visiting the Union Bookstore, my child went alone to the Foreign Language Bookstore on Tianhe Road in Guangzhou. But I found that this bookstore has high-quality reading materials from all over the world. Baidu turned out that Guangdong United Bookstore was the first bookstore wholly invested in the mainland by Hong Kong United Publishing Group (one of the largest comprehensive publishing groups in Hong Kong). No wonder there are so many original imported reading materials here.

There is a special "Hong Kong Book Fair" corner


In addition to original books from Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are also quite a considerable number of original English books.


Although the imported books here are not "everything", they are still extremely impressive.

Humanities and literature, natural sciences, aesthetics, art, social sciences...

The famous paintings hanging on the walls add to the artistic atmosphere of the place.

Union Bookstore Film Corner-Director Experience Area. This area is decorated with black and white from film.

On the third floor, the wind of books turns rapidly, and the strong Japanese wind makes it impossible to dodge.

How many people are obsessed with Japanese anime

In addition to animation books, there are also animation products.

A fat cat named "My Emperor" and a cute dog named "Bazahei" are Baicha's first picture-book works. These lovely picture books remind me of the years when I was a mother and my children's parent-child reading time. Whenever you read to your child, it is like sharing the same happy time full of warm language with your child hand in hand.

Photo of Japanese beauty

The entire wall is covered with Japanese literature and original Japanese books.


The entire bookshelf here will be occupied by Haruki Murakami.

Kazunojiao Japanese Cultural District. Here I saw the original railway book, a book introducing railways and trains. Because there are car fans at home, they pay special attention to these books, and such books cannot be purchased online. To be honest, due to price reasons
Nowadays, the function of selling books in bookstores is extremely reduced. Take me for example, I often buy it online after looking at it in a bookstore. In addition to the price advantage, purchasing online also allows you to understand the content of the book. However, most of the books in bookstores are packaged and cannot be known about the content. Coupled with the high prices, they rarely take the risk of buying books in physical stores. But today, I didn't hesitate to buy two books priced at more than 100 yuan, because they really can't be bought anywhere. Full of joy.

United Bookstore, located in Guangzhou, has built a "Guangzhou Corner" here to integrate local characteristics into reading culture. Various creative products with a strong Cantonese flavor are displayed here. A set of cartoon postcards, a hand-drawn map, a three-dimensional arcade model or a small magnetic post on a Manchurian window are filled with the unique atmosphere of Cantonese literature and art. The bookstore expresses the color and mood of the city through the "Guangzhou Corner".

Arriving on the fourth floor was far away from the boiling space on the first floor. There were almost no people on the fourth floor, only breathing books. This is a children's world, with domestic and imported children's books. While reading, children can freely spread their wings and fly. This is also a journey in life in some sense.


There are also high-quality cultural creations


Jigsaw puzzles of various famous paintings. Think about how I used them to spend my spare time for a few years when I was young.

The cultural creation here is mainly stationery.

There are also some small objects that are romantic and beautiful.


These T-shirts were designed and painted by the students themselves during the Art Week.

There is must-have coffee in bookstores, and this place is no exception. However, the status of coffee here is very high, and it is set up separately on the fifth floor. book. Coffee-Whiteless Sanatorium, the atmosphere here is more like a bookstore than the same building, quiet and elegant.

The cafe has a very medical name-Wubai Sanatorium, which has ideas and implications.

Trapped in this pure white high-value bookstore and cafe. The main color of pure white relaxes the whole person. The noisy and tense rhythm remains on Beijing Road. The all-white colors and the elegant sense of space seem to be in another world. His steps slowed down and his expression relaxed. All white gives people a sense of stress-free, relaxed and more comfortable.

These blooming plum blossoms give the white space a touch of agility.


The industrial style of the black frame brings a rough texture of simple power.

There is a poster on the wall introducing the activities here.


It can be seen from the poster that several events are held here every week. Based on the original cultural exchanges, a place full of life and modernity will be created through sharing of books, films, and art.

Follow the all-white staircase. The black words on the stairs are like the keyboard of a piano beating our hearts.

In this space upstairs, there is a white round table and white and black-padded leisure chairs. Everything is simple. The word "Mei" on the wall should be one of the symbols of the Wubai Sanatorium, right? Just stay in a daze like this. If one is not enough, let's try again. Alone here, under the illumination of goose down yellow lights, the slow music gently lingering in your ears, coupled with the faint aroma of coffee in the air, you can read, but it is more suitable for being in a daze, daydreaming, and releasing all the key emotions. Just be a daze.

When the door is pushed open here, there are still two "stay" in the outdoor terrace garden outside. If you like to sit outside or enjoy a quieter environment, this is yours.

This blank corridor is an art exhibition space, which has the same effect as the Wubai Sanatorium. In terms of site design, the focus is on "blank space".


An art exhibition called "Unread Letters" is being held here. This is an art exhibition of printmaking, illustrations, and book binding by a group of graduating students. This is a commemorative book of four years of college life.

This is a very "complex" bookstore. It's complex because it's difficult for me to locate it in one or two words. This comprehensive store integrates groceries, books, crafts, coffee shops, and studios. From the moment I entered the bookstore, the restlessness on the first floor, the flow on the second floor, the return on the third floor, the tranquility on the fourth floor, and the absence of white here. When I was in such a bookstore, I felt the dream of one style on one floor. Bookstores today are by no means the same as the bookstores we understood when we were children. Bookstores are the endorsement of "humanities, art and quality life". All of this is for paper books in the Internet age. I bought two books and was satisfied. I am a reader of paper books, maybe my old school! I like the feeling of turning the pages with my fingers.

At the end of my stroll, I actually received another surprise. In addition to the stairs, Union Bookstore also has an elevator that goes straight up and down. I went straight down from the fifth floor to the first floor. When I passed the camp reception desk and was about to leave, I accidentally saw it. It was a mint green leather car, and it was so mint green, just like the one in the movie "Green Book". The mint green leather car. So I left with this green car and the two original books introducing railway trains full of joy. Today is beautiful!
