The lifestyle of Nioya Bookstore

Located on Yan'an West Road, Shangsheng New Place is one of the popular check-in spots in Shanghai. The most famous Nioya Bookstore is the first store in Shanghai, located in the American Country Club, a century-old historical building, which used to be a social and leisure place for Shanghai overseas Chinese. I remember that when the bookstore opened in 2020, it was fully booked every day, and people wanted to visit but couldn't. 🌟Highlights: The American Country Club was built around 1925, designed by Elliott Hazzard, and is a Spanish Baroque style building. The south gable door has Baroque decorations. The entrance on the north side is a semi-circular arch, the gable is in Baroque style, decorated with simplified gourd bottle decorations. The north gable of the main hall is also in Baroque style, with a rose-shaped ventilation hole in the gable, and 5 decorative gourds on the top of the gable. It is an excellent historical building in Shanghai. ✅Must experience: Nioya Bookstore (TSUTAYA BOOKS) is a bookstore brand from Japan.
