When it comes to bookstores that are open 24 hours a day in Guangzhou, we have to mention 1200bookshop. After completing a 1,200-kilometer hike around Taiwan, the owner Liu Erxi was deeply affected by the human touch of Taiwan, so he returned to Guangzhou to open such a bookstore, and the name "1200bookshop" was born. 1200bookshop has attracted a lot of fans with its stylized business model and distinctive brand tone, many backpackers have come to visit, and its fame has spread all over the country and abroad, and it has been rated as one of the 17 coolest bookstores in the world by CNN. 1200bookshop mainly focuses on literature, social science, travel, best-selling and other humanities books, the number of books is not large, but the selection of books has significant style characteristics and distinct personalities. 1200bookshop spares no effort in the use of space, with books displayed in all corners of the bookstore, free reading areas and consumer reading areas scattered throughout the store; Old objects can be found everywhere in bookstores, such as old door panels, old bookcases, old tables and chairs, etc., which are revitalized here and become the carrier of reading space. In addition to buying books and reading, 1200bookshop has done a great job in cultural outreach, such as the small corner specially prepared for sofa guests, which was born to provide a free night's sleep for late-night travelers, with sofas, pillows, tables and chairs. The private study is an extension of the sofa guest concept, which sells time and space to customers by providing a study room rental, and also encourages travelers to exchange their own stories for free. Late-night stories are also a major feature of 1200bookshop, which often starts at midnight, and the bookstore is brightly lit at night, and the scene of everyone sitting around and listening quietly is full of warmth. At present, 1200bookshop has four branches in Guangzhou, each with the same style and unique location. The Tiyu East Store is a typical "second-floor bookstore", with the main display area and reading area on the mezzanine and the second floor, and some books left over from the extinct "Red Maple Leaf Bookstore" are also displayed at the entrance; The CITIC Backstreet store is located in the basement space, with seven private study rooms, each with a different reading theme; The Wokai Street store has an old object exhibition hall "Xicang", which often undertakes various performance activities; The Grandview store is located in the bustling shopping district, which has a sense of being hidden in the city. Each store of 1200bookshop has a variety of cultural and creative products and coffee drinks for sale, and the CITIC store also has a late-night canteen "Xixi Dumplings", where customers need to answer several literary questions correctly before they can enter the order, which is very interesting.
