The Yan Dang Bookstore is really cool!!!!

It's no wonder it has won international awards for its design,
Jinyun Yan Dang Academy is truly amazing!
Transformed from a quarry pit, the environment is wild and luxurious,
The layered stairs and platforms form a 'book mountain',
Echoing the wisdom of the ancients, 'There is a path in the mountain of books through diligent study',
When the weather is clear, sunlight streams in through the narrow slit at the top,
The mottled light and shadow space makes it more artistic and serene.

📍Jinyun Yan Dang Bookstore
🚙 No. 8 Yan Dang, Xiandu Scenic Area, Jinyun, Lishui, Zhejiang, walk 150 meters inward from the parking lot.
🈺️ 9:00-17:00
📷 There are fewer people in the morning, and the afternoon light is better for photography, but there are many tourists; it is recommended to bring a wide-angle lens and shoot upwards to avoid other people in the composition.
☕️ It is both a bookstore and a café, with a very artistic environment, very suitable for daydreaming.
As a shining pearl of the Xiandu Scenic Area, it was awarded one of the top ten best completed buildings in China in 2022. Its uniqueness lies in combining the craftsmanship of nature with the millennia-old wisdom of human mining, creating a breathtaking space.

Magnificent sense of space: The bookstore has a clear height of 38 meters and a depth of about 50 meters, with a completely open top, forming an open-air space. On sunny days, sunlight filters through the stone crevices at the top of the bookstore, creating a mysterious and warm atmosphere.

Exquisite design layout: The interior design of the bookstore is ingenious. After passing through a narrow stone gate, the hall suddenly opens up. A zigzag stone path leads visitors to explore deeper, surrounded by rows of stone terraces and bookshelves and railings made of bamboo and nanmu, showcasing a rustic and elegant beauty.

Diverse reading experience: The bookstore not only has a book bar but also introduces a coffee bar, Himalaya, audio postcards, and an audio café, among other trendy new formats. Visitors can quietly read books here or choose to listen to a beautiful piece of music, enjoying a peaceful and fulfilling time.

A crystallization of creativity and courage: The Yan Dang Bookstore is the result of entrepreneurs and designers adapting to local conditions and boldly innovating. They skillfully combine nature with functionality and fashion, integrating the beauty of the wild cave space with modern elements such as decorations and escalators, creating a magical and stunning reading space.
