The popularity of e-commerce is the nightmare of bookstores. In July 2011, Borders Group, Inc., the second largest bookseller company in the United States, filed for bankruptcy protection. O2 Sun Bookstore, the biggest privately operated bookstore in China, closed two stores in Beijing in October 2011.
However, some bookstores have not only survived, but have also become even more popular than before the digital age due to their unique styles. Some of them feature a cozy and comfortable reading environment, while others are well-known for their exquisite creative products. Still others stand out for amazing cultural events.
Let's take a look at the top 10 most beautiful bookstores in China:
