Shanghai Foreign Bookstore

I’m a book nerd and could easily spend hours in a bookshop, however Shanghai Foreign Bookstore has 4 floors filled with foreign books which can keep you trapped for hours without trying. Sections are clearly labelled and areas are easy to find. Prices of the books aren’t too high but do expect books to be starting around 60RMB. #urbanexplorer #shanghai #tripblazers #bookstore

Shanghai Fuzhou Road Cultural Street

Step into Shanghai’s Book Lover’s Paradise on Fuzhou Road 📚✨ Fuzhou Road Cultural Street is the heartbeat of Shanghai’s literary scene—perfect for travelers craving culture, historic vibes, and unique souvenirs! Wander this buzzing avenue where traditional bookstores, stationery shops, tea houses, and art galleries nestle side by side, each brimming with local character. 🧭 Recommended Route & Must-Dos: Start at the Huangpu end, walking toward People’s Square. Pop into the legendary Shanghai Foreign Languages Bookstore for international titles, and duck into the smaller specialty shops for rare Chinese editions and retro postcards. Don’t miss the historic Shanghai Book mall—a multi-story treasure trove for everything from comics to calligraphy sets! Refuel with artisan teas at a tucked-away tea house (especially good for escaping crowds). 📸 Top Photo Spots: Snap vibrant shots under Fuzhou Road’s old neon shop signs (the evenings glow best!), catch candid moments of locals browsing, or line up your books against quirky murals outside indie stores. The entrance arch makes for an iconic “I was here” city pic! ⚡ Tips & Precautions: Go on a weekday morning—weekends can get packed. Lots of shops close by 6–7 PM, so time your stroll accordingly. Cash/mobile payments are widely accepted, but some tiny stalls may be cash-only. If hunting rare books, brush up on basic Mandarin or write down your wish list. Wrap up with tea and tales—Fuzhou Road is literary Shanghai fun from street to shelf! #Shanghai #FuzhouRoad #CulturalStreet #BookLovers #TravelChina
