Hey bibliophiles and culture enthusiasts! 📚✨ Shanghai's legendary Book City on Fuzhou Road is back and better than ever! After nearly two years of revamps, this iconic spot reopened in October 2023, transforming from a massive bookstore into a buzzing cultural hotspot.
For over two decades, Shanghai Book City has been the pride of the city. Celebrating its 20th anniversary in December 2018, it boasted over 3 billion yuan in sales and 116 million books sold between 1999 and 2018. Talk about making history!
But wait, there's more! The new and improved Book City isn't just about books anymore. It's now a green, smart space that's hosting everything from film exhibitions and comic book expos to photography shows and fashion runways. 🎬🎨👗 There's always something exciting happening, making it the perfect hangout for people of all ages.
Guess what? This year, Shanghai Book City is one of the official screening venues for the Shanghai TV Festival! That means you get to watch international and domestic films right in the heart of the city and maybe even bump into some global filmmakers. How cool is that?
Mark your calendars, folks! The Shanghai International Film Festival runs from June 14–23, followed by the Shanghai TV Festival from June 24–28. Get ready to dive into a cultural extravaganza right in Book City! 🎉
