For many Cantonese people, Tangning is by no means an unfamiliar name. In the past, Downing Bookstore was a must-visit place to find books in foreign languages. For more than ten years, Downing Bookstore has become an impression of independent bookstores in Guangzhou with its elegant and comfortable environment and warm and considerate service. In 2012, the main store of Tangning Bookstore on Huale Road was officially closed, which is a pity; After several twists and turns, it finally returned in 2015 in Guangyue Xintiandi, Zhujiang New Town, and continued to stick to the front line of independent bookstores. Downing Bookstore has a wide range of books, a high taste in book selection, and there is no shortage of high-quality exquisite books. All types of books are covered, mainly in social sciences, economics and management, aesthetics, etc., and foreign language books are also quite rich and varied. The space is fresh and comfortable, the various sections are scattered and organized, in addition to books, there are coffee snacks and other cultural products for sale, and the coffee reading area is close to the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is bright and transparent. Downing Bookstore has always been praised for its humanistic care, the clerk will recommend books according to the reading tastes of old customers, and the arrival of new books will also be cordially notified, this kind of warm interaction between people is difficult to experience when buying books online. After Tangning entered the Guangyue Xintiandi, its image and temperament have been improved a lot compared with before, and many details also reflect humanization everywhere, comfortable and soft tables and chairs, carefully arranged books and occasional distribution of craft knick-knacks complement each other, the look and experience are good. Downing also regularly organizes music performances, film sharing, art exhibitions and salons, etc., encouraging inspiration from different fields to collide here, making this small space full of human touch.
