No.9  24-hour bookstores light up the whole country

Beijing's first 24-hour bookstore lighted up the night for booklovers in April 2014. Sanlian Taofen Bookstore offered the public a "Midnight Reading Room" by opening its doors 24/7, which has been warmly received by the public.

Inspired by Sanlian, bookshops across the country followed its move successively, including those in Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Shandong and other cities. The idea of "national reading" was widespread.
