In Beijing, there is a bookstore located in a traditional courtyard house - Zhengyang Bookstore

📚 The Wansong Laoren Pagoda, which was originally built during the Yuan Dynasty to commemorate the renowned monk Wansong Laoren from the Jin-Yuan period, surrounds the national-level cultural heritage site 'Wansong Laoren Pagoda'. Situated in Zhuan Tower Hutong, the bookstore is also known as 'Brick Reading Space', and is a bookstore with a strong old Beijing charm. In the courtyard, one can closely experience the solemn and majestic ancient pagoda. The main area consists of two wing rooms, housing a variety of ancient books and artifacts, with displays that have a strong sense of the past. The books mainly cover aspects of Beijing's history, geography, and culture, including maps of Beijing, Beijing's culinary culture, local customs, the origins of the names of various streets in Beijing, and the changes in old Beijing. Zhengyang Bookstore is more like a diversified experience space that integrates books, graphic images, and physical materials to immerse visitors in the history and culture of Beijing. 🌈 The courtyard is simple and cozy, yet permeated with a rich cultural atmosphere. It is filled with flowers and plants, tea tables, and displays of wooden boards and stone steles. It's like watching an exhibition about Beijing's culture in a garden, where you can also sit down to drink tea, read books, and enjoy some quiet time when tired. 📍 Address: No. 43, Xisi South Street, Xicheng District 🚃 Transportation: Subway Line 4, Xisi Station, Exit D 🍭 Nearby: Lingjing Hutong, Chongjian Hongci Guangji Temple, China Geological Museum, Prince Li's Mansion
