A Cool Summer Spot for Walking with Kids | Tsutaya Bookstore Opens in Beijing

Beijing's Tsutaya Bookstore📚 had garnered attention even before its opening, and although it was delayed for a few months compared to the initially expected opening date, it has finally officially landed in Beijing. At the time of opening, the bookstore was extremely popular🔥, with many people coming for the check-in📸. In the early days of opening, the bookstore implemented a reservation system to limit the number of visitors, and as it officially started operating, the bookstore📗 gradually returned to its daily routine, and I finally found the time to slowly browse through it ✅Tsutaya Bookstore has three floors in total, with the first floor being a cafe☕️, and the second and third floors dedicated to books📒. The overall space is not very large, and the decor is minimalist, with black and wood colors as the main theme ✅The spiral staircase from the first to the second floor is flanked by magazine walls, displaying a full two-story height of various magazines📓. It is said that this Tsutaya Bookstore in Beijing is the largest Japanese miscellaneous store in China☝️ ✅The second and third floors mainly feature books, stationery, and other goods, with a comprehensive range of books, categorized by genre and author✍️, etc. There are identification cards💳 next to the bookshelves for easy searching ✅Children's books and anime books are both located on the second floor, but there are very few sample books for these two categories. Other types of books, such as literature, have many more samples on display📖, and there are also some free🆓 seating areas on the second floor where you can rest and read ✅In addition to books, the store also sells stationery, cups, ceramic vessels, figurines, and other goods, all of which look quite exquisite and high-quality, though the prices are relatively high ✅The third floor also has a SHARE LOUNGE, the first of its kind in mainland China, with a vibe of a paid shared study room, offering many seats🪑 for studying and working, at 58 yuan per seat per hour. Inside, there are ☕️ coffee, beverages, and some snacks available, and many books can be browsed for free within this consumption area After the initial rush of the opening, the bookstore has gradually entered its daily routine. During lunchtime on weekdays, people working nearby👩‍💼 come to visit, and on weekends, there are more people coming to check in and take photos📸. At other times, the bookstore is very quiet, and if you want to sit down and read📖, it's even more recommended to come in the evening 📚TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE Tsutaya (Beijing Chaoyang The Box Store) 📍Address: The Box B Block, Chaoyangmen Outer Street 🕙Hours: 10:00-22:30
