I heard that PageOne Bookstore has beautiful books, good music, delicious food and interesting designs, and I am fascinated by it.
It's not easy to find it in Sanlitun, Beijing, because it's relatively low-key and introverted, with no big billboards and no bright and dazzling appearance. Even if you pass by, you will inevitably ignore it. When I first went to PageOne, I wandered around Uniqlo, Adi and Sanlitun Bar Street and had to turn to the security guard. He asked, "Is it a bookstore? Isn't that it? " The bookstore of his finger is behind me!
PageOne means that reading begins from the first page, and it also has a unique Chinese name "Ye Yitang". In Sanlitun, it exists in the architectural style of wooden house, and you can see everything through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Its design style is novel and interesting, and its taste is exquisite, which makes people unforgettable. Sanlitun store has two floors, covering an area of about 1,511 square meters, and mainly sells original foreign language books and design books.
Being in PageOne Sanlitun Store is relatively relaxed and comfortable. The overall decoration style of the bookstore is elegant, relatively young, fashionable and highly personalized. You will feel that you come to the bookstore to read not only books, but also atmosphere and emotional appeal. The front entrance of the store faces the stylish steps. A couple sits on the steps and takes beautiful photos of the book, surrounded by music, and they can't help but feel happy.

The first floor mainly sells books on art, design and architecture, including English and Japanese versions, as well as some classic books and popular children's picture books. The store also consciously guides readers, and new books are recommended on the high shelf on the right hand side of the entrance. The decoration in the store is full of design sense, the wooden bookshelves are friendly, and the ingenious design of each bookshelf with different heights is also comfortable. The books are placed with originality, and readers at the bookshelf are in an endless stream; Looking at exquisite books and towering bookshelves, my heart is also open and clear. The unique atmosphere of the bookstore is fascinating, with exquisite book covers, artistic illustrations, ink-scented books and high-quality printing, which are pleasing to the eye. When you brush your fingers over a textured book and listen to the sound of pages turning, you can experience a pleasure that e-books can't match.
where there are steps, there are always people who take photos and take pictures. In a bookstore with steps, it is also a place of sentiment and intimacy. When the steps fall on the steps filled with books, it seems that the whole person is dancing with the rhythm of music.
On the second floor, PageOne mainly sells children's books, gourmet travel books, humanities and social science books, literature and novels, stationery and gifts. Wandering in the children's reading area, watching adults take their children to read and explain with books, and following these picture books, crossing into childhood, whether it is the story of pigs, the story of Popeye eating spinach, or Avanti's wisdom, people experience the warm time of childhood.
On the second floor, a large space is filled with all kinds of gifts and stationery, the prices are not cheap, and there are books in original English. It is said that the bookstore mainly depends on them for profit. Looking at all kinds of exquisite gifts, I really love it. In front of the rows of original English books, I forced to turn over them, and the wider world in the book made people yearn for it. Keigo Higashino, Zhu Guangqian, Haruki Murakami, Feng Youlan and other bookshelves are lingering readers in the book areas of humanities, social sciences and literature.
Bookstores are like "matchmakers", which connect the writers' thoughts and readers, allowing books with different ideas to communicate with readers in a spiritual way. Bookstores do not provide seats for resting and reading. In different types of book areas, readers either sit on the floor or lean on bookshelves, and live in harmony with their own comfortable posture. People who focus on books compose the prosperity of bookstores.
In the coffee shop matched with the bookstore, people who are drinking coffee or bowing their heads in their computers reprimand Fang Qiu in their own world. The open-air food area contrasts with the people reading in the store, and the overall atmosphere is better. Even if you browse the books you are interested in at will and read them slowly, the staff will not come to disturb and urge you. Outside Sanlitun Bookstore is a lively bar street and a fashionable consumption area. Looking at the bustling outside through the glass, I feel quiet for this quiet book space and linger for this literary space.
the target group of pageone is middle and high-end readers, which is very appropriate in Sanlitun, a lively and fashionable place. As a cultural landmark of Sanlitun, it is worth mentioning that the music in the bookstore will be played according to the mood of the readers at different times in the morning, noon and evening, which is easy to make people feel emotional. Looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze in the bookstore, or watching the readers coming and going in the store, or indulging in books, is a wonderful enjoyment anyway. The time spent reading in the bookstore is always brisk and makes people reluctant to go.
PageOne was founded in 1983, headquartered in Singapore, featuring the sale of design books, original English books and traditional Chinese books. At present, it also has related branches in Thailand, Taiwan Province, Beijing International Trade Center and Wangjing, and has its own readership. Sanlitun Store is located in the northeast corner of Taikooli South District, Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, Beijing. People who love books, this is a scenery you can't miss. (Author Chen Jiaxian)
