This 7 story complex houses a multitude of book and electronics shops, as well as a sporting goods store and a Yamaha Music Store in the basement, not to mention a seldom seen Apple store right next door, so it’s a great place to stop if books aren’t the only thing on your list. You’ll want to stick to the higher levels to find the English books, as the lower levels are dedicated primarily to Chinese school-books. Many of the bookstores on the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors feature large Art books in English and bilingual books about Chinese culture and cuisine that are fun if you are looking to browse.
Getting there: Metro line 1 or 2, Tiyu Xilu Station
