Generally, it is three or four times a year, and it is known from the beginning of each season that it is usually 3, 5, 9, 10,1month, and one time is about 10 days.
Don't go when the market just opens, wait until the market closes on Sunday at the weekend.
Remember to bring a suitcase. Otherwise the backpack will be damaged alive.
I just saw Kevin's answer and added some more:
Because in the first few days, many people who rent booths will not reduce their prices. On the last day, when the stalls are closed, bosses will bargain hard to save a bus or move less things.
As for scouring books early or losing things late, it is luck.
Some bookshops don't sell everything on the first day. )
In addition: if there are bookstores and bosses who look pleasing to the eye, you might as well get a business card and go when the book market is closed.
2) Second-hand bookstore:
Most of the old bookstores in Beijing live in the cracks.
There can be one more or less around colleges and universities. More famous are the second-hand book hutong in Zhongguancun and two China bookstores in Liulichang.
Every year at the temple fair, China Bookstore in Liulichang will have used books to clear the warehouse-but the price is not flattering.
3) In fact, libraries in all districts, university libraries and libraries run by various state-owned enterprises should pay attention to the fact that old books are published once every three to five years.
That's how I collected a complete set of 19 old Tang books, Old Zhonghua Book Company.
4) Well, college friends, you are actually very happy. Every June, graduates sell old books they don't want, which is also a good time to pick up books ... I won't elaborate, as everyone who has been to college knows.
