The bookworm paradise, dubbed one of the coolest and the most "instagrammable" bookstores in China, stood out due to an intricate design that young Chinese designer Li Xiang created with huge mirrored ceilings and symmetrical staircases.
The store is part of a Chinese bookstore chain named Zhongshuge – known for styling each of its locations with a unique look.
The Chongqing bookstore reportedly holds 80,000 books and has an extravagant reading area for children.
