The contrast between tradition and modernity makes this bookstore attractive. The first floor uses the traditional water town block as the logic of spatial organization: the river connects the space of books, commodities, and salon, including small bridges, houses, miniature squares, Chinese octagonal pavilions, ferry crossings, and mythical beasts Qilin. But, the second floor is composed of contemporary technological elements such as parametric subway trains, AR experience, and modern tea drinks.
