Xuzhou Zhongshuge - A World of Light, Shadow, and Books

In Chengdu, Sichuan, besides savoring delicious food and seeing giant pandas, there is another cultural landmark that you should not miss: Zhongshuge in Dujiangyan. The design of this bookstore is inspired by the ancient Dujiangyan irrigation project, resembling a high wall built of history and culture. Inside the bookstore, the staggered arched doorways are combined with the reflection effect on the ground to create an illusion of time and space interlacing, making people feel as if they have stepped into a fantastic world like Inception. 🕐Opening Hours: 10:00-22:00 ✨As soon as you enter, you seem to enter a world of time. With the theme of "Time Clock Tower", huge gears crisscross, surrounded by book walls, as if walking inside the clock tower. Passing through the "Ring of Time", the wooden hanging ladder leads to a dial with books as scales. Every step feels like traveling through the long river of time.
