Suzhou Trip - Eslite Bookstore

Every time I visit a city, if time permits, I always look for a bookstore to spend some time in. The best representation of a city is its bookstores and the people reading in them. The fragrance of ink and paper is the most noble scent in this world. I always feel that being surrounded by books is like having the wealth of the entire world. I still have the habit of reading while taking notes and writing reflections. My reading speed is actually quite slow. When I'm busy, I can't keep up with it, but whenever I have free time, I always go through my notes and continue reading. Therefore, sometimes I can't understand the fast-food style of reading that Yezhi and the others have. Fragmented knowledge always feels incomplete to me. Reading is not just a formality. I think reading is a very romantic and cool thing to do. A cup of tea, a pen, a book, a notebook, the fragrance of tea accompanying the scent of books, bringing a sense of satisfaction and endless enjoyment. Suzhou's Eslite Bookstore is the first branch of Taiwan's Eslite Bookstore in mainland China. The first time I went was with Yezhi and Qiaochu. This time is the second time. Because it was a Friday, there weren't many people. Many young faces were quietly sitting on the benches or at the tables provided by the bookstore, seriously flipping through books. The bookstore's collection is very rich, and many of the books are unfamiliar to me. I don't know why, but at the moment I saw so many books, I was inexplicably moved to tears. I can't describe this feeling, like a wandering child finding a home, a sense of inexplicable grievance, inexplicable excitement, inexplicable happiness, inexplicable sadness... an indescribable feeling. I quietly walked past each shelf, and accidentally opened Lao She’s 'Life is Rarely Leisurely'. The first page read: Life is long, why not live it leisurely. Below was a small passage: Rarely seen, so often strange, it really makes one anxious! Who can know and understand everything? Take the theory of relativity, for example, how exactly is it relative? Is it like the two generals Heng and Ha facing each other, or like lovers facing each other when they are about to kiss? I can never figure it out. This passage really made me laugh. I continued reading and couldn't stop, reading for a long time, unable to put it down, and then happily bought it, like discovering a treasure. Buying books, like gourmet food, fascinates me and I can't resist.

📚 Place with full of Knowledges

#chinatrip This is the place you need to visit when you are seeking for knowledges 😉 Eslite bookstore is available all around places, Shanghai is not an exception. This particular bookstore is decorated with loads of detail in every corner. Even the staircase itself brings strong meaning and story about timeline of every human life. Apart from the books, you can also enjoy coffee and sunset at 3rd floor al-fresco area, what a nice place to end your day with.

Suzhou | Eslite Bookstore, a bookstore where you can spend a whole day

| Eslite Bookstore, a bookstore where you can spend a whole day. Suzhou | Eslite Bookstore, a bookstore where you can spend a whole day Following the guide, I came to Eslite Bookstore, only to find that besides being a bookstore, it also offers shopping and entertainment, so I think it would be more appropriate to call it 'Eslite Mall'. The third floor is the main bookstore, while the first and second floors are a shopping center, and the entire commercial complex is known as Eslite Life. Suzhou Eslite Bookstore officially started construction on May 27, 2011. It is also the first branch of Taiwan's Eslite Bookstore in mainland China. It is a creative platform that integrates culture, performance, art, commerce, tourism, and talent cultivation, with a cross-disciplinary synergistic effect. Back to the bookstore, the decor of the bookstore, compared to the many new-generation internet-famous bookstores in China, is standard and proper, without ostentatious walls (inside the bookstore), nor abstract installation art, but still maintains its own style within the rules. Of course, as a bookstore, books are the most important, and there are many great books in the store, including domestic and many imported ones. For example, I randomly flipped through some particularly great photography books that I couldn't even find on JD.com, so it's no wonder Eslite Bookstore has grown so big; it really has something special. By the way, the iconic staircase plus installation embellishments that often appear on the cover photos of Eslite Bookstore online make it look grand and majestic. However, when I visited, only the staircase was there, perhaps it was being redecorated for the summer vacation, but the empty staircase really caught me off guard, and I thought I was in the wrong place. I searched again recently, wanting to see how it has changed, and well, emmm, the first version was better... Transportation: Turn left at the straight exit of Building 1, Times Square, Suzhou Metro Line 1

As the only Eslite bookstore in the mainland, when it comes to Suzhou, it is natural to go to the "pilgrimage". The same as Taiwan, Suzhou, in addition to selling books, also considers Wen Chuang, daily necessities, cafes, fashion restaurants, more like a literary fan. Of course, there is the same reading atmosphere as Taiwan, which is enough for people who like to read for a long time! There is also a very complete collection of the original books of the "Lonely Plant" series. As the Bible in the minds of the vast number of travelers, it is not far from tempting. However, the most popular part of Eslite is the two-story pilgrimage stairs. It is hailed as the Rainbow Staircase by the loyal book powder. It has already become popular in the whole network and has become a veritable net red staircase. When I arrived in Suzhou, the girl who loves to take pictures must go to the card! We arrived at noon, the sun's rays hit the transparent ceiling and hit the ground. For the portrait, it is a natural reflector, and it doesn't need to add light later. There is no problem with the color straight out. And most people are eating at noon, and there are relatively few people taking pictures here. If there are so many people, you can sit on the steps like me, let the photographer lower the position, fix the focus head with a large aperture of 24-50 focal length, and lift the lens as far as possible. It is not difficult to wait for no one, and it can put the rainbow color behind it into the lens. Even if someone has a large aperture, it can greatly weaken the crowd behind, and the PS removal crowd is very easy. In addition, looking for books and reading books in the bookstore, let the photographer capture, it will also have a natural feeling of visiting the bookstore!
