The church-turned-bookstore is kind of cool.

The bookstore is on Gaolan Road, with tall plane trees in front of the church. The onion dome is very eye-catching. There is an outdoor seating area at the entrance. It is very comfortable to sit outside when the weather is not too hot or cold, but you need to be careful of mosquitoes. . The exterior is still a church, but the interior has been transformed into a bookstore. There is a collection of Chairman Mao's poems at the entrance. I have been rereading Chairman Mao's poems recently and almost bought it. I had to resist the urge! . I was amazed when I looked up after entering. The high dome has angel murals, and the walls have stained glass windows. The space is filled with steel frames for displaying books. This store has a large collection of domestic and foreign poetry anthologies. . As you go further in, you pass through a small door and travel from the old era to a modern coffee shop. The coffee bar is quite cool, with a mirrored ceiling and a dark color scheme, giving the feeling of drinking coffee in a nightclub. . There are many seats in the coffee shop. When I went there, there was only one person, and it was very quiet inside, suitable for quiet reading or working with a computer. . ☕📖 Sinan Books Poetry Store 📍No. 16 Gaolan Road
