Chinese bookstores boost visits with Instagrammable designs, surviving through experiences, not just sales.
In recent years, China has seen an increase in visually appealing bookstores, such as Tianjin's Zhongshuge, which are designed for photography and social media appeal rather than reading, attracting large crowds despite declining book sales.
These spaces, with dramatic architecture and vibrant interiors, help to sustain physical bookstores by attracting visitors through experience and cultural appeal, though some have banned flash photography to protect the reading environment.
Operators are increasingly reliant on ancillary offerings such as tea, trinkets, and cultural displays, reflecting a larger shift in which bookstores survive not only on sales but also on their role as experiential destinations.
