Several distinctive bookstores within a one-kilometer radius of Sanlitun, Beijing constitute a unique "cultural-belt themed on reading". The reading spaces with their own characteristics provide citizens with an exclusive area of books.

This book lover's haven includes: Yanjiyou - Page One - Chaoyang Urban Bookhouse · Chunfengxixi Reading Club - Sanlian Taofen Bookstore

Sanlian Taofen Bookstore has installed a section which features Winter Olympic-themed products. Its interior design derives from Travelers among Mountains and Streams, a painting by Fan Kuan, an artist from the Northern Song Dynasty. Not only a venue for selling books, this bookstore is also a cultural and living space for the local community and the whole city.

Chaoyang Urban Bookhouse · Chunfengxixi Reading Club meanwhile boasts a special collection of selected global magazines, independent publications and imported foreign books of art. With an aim of rejuvenating the charm of reading, the Club encourages its guests to mingle and connect with other readers by exchanging books.

Page One is a library of magazines centered on aesthetics. By attracting residents nearby and tourists with a variety of major events, it has become a "school of aesthetics” for the public. 

The Sanlitun branch of Yanjiyou TodayBook focuses on not only its design but also the most essential connection between people and reading. By integrating this concept, it has made itself into a brand-new cultural, living space.
