Cool book store and gift shop in Nanning✨

Uncover Nanning’s Literary Secret in Yongzhou Ancient City 📚🌆 Nestled in the heart of Yongzhou Ancient City’s Three Streets and Two Alleys Historical District, there’s a magical bookstore hidden inside a historical building that’s paradise for book lovers and souvenir hunters alike! Step beyond classic novels and discover shelves lined with plushies, bookmarks, local handicrafts, mystery gift boxes, and playful “blind date with a book” experiences that make each visit a lucky dip. 🗺 Recommended route: Start your stroll from Minzu Avenue (广西壮族自治区南宁市兴宁区民族大道37号) and let the ancient alleyways guide you. When you spot quirky decorations or a façade filled with books and souvenirs, you’ve found the spot! 🎁 Must-do: Try a blind date with a book—choose your next read based on a wrapped cover and a few teaser hints, adding mystery to your literary journey. Don’t miss the plushies, magnets, and local crafts by the entrance—they’re perfect for gifts or keepsakes. 📸 Insta-worthy angles: Strike a pose beside stacks of colorful mystery boxes or get a cozy shot with the plushies scattered around the reading nooks. The building’s preserved architecture provides a gorgeous backdrop, with old brick walls and sunlight streaming in. ⏰ Visiting tips: Open all day, year-round, so you can drop in anytime. Early mornings or late evenings are quieter—perfect for browsing or picking out unique gifts. ⚠️ Precautions: Some alleys are a bit maze-like, so it’s easy to miss the entrance; walk slowly and keep your eyes peeled for quirky displays. Check the weather during rainy season, as some areas may be slippery. #nanning #bookstore #hiddengem #yongzhouancientcity #chinatravel
