When it comes to the most restless bookstore in Guangzhou, Red Bookstore is the best place to be. Founded in 1999, Red Bookstore is located in the old and dilapidated Xin'an Building in Jiangnan West, specializing in music and art books, and is a niche bookstore full of rock and roll subculture. The Red Bookstore is a very small storefront, with a panoramic view of the bookstore at a glance, and all corners are filled with rock and roll ornaments, costumes and posters; Most of the bookshelves, tables, cabinets, etc. are painted red – which is where the name of the Red Bookstore comes from. Bookstores open at a rather casual time, often opening after 3:30 p.m. The number of books in the store is limited, but they are carefully selected by the owner, and the genre is mostly music, film, design, avant-garde art, etc. In addition to books, Red Bookstore also sells a handful of movie CDs and rock records, most of which are old and unpopular works, and if you explore carefully, you may find interesting objects that are difficult to find elsewhere. The Xin'an Building, where the Red Bookstore is located, is located next to the old campus of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and used to be the spiritual granary of Guangmei students. It has given birth to many new artists, such as the Borges bookstore and the Shadow Club, as well as film discs, CDs, niche books and underground publications. The Red Bookstore has been standing here for nearly 20 years, and all kinds of shops have been sent to it, but now the Xin'an Building has long been empty, almost deserted, and there are only one or two small shops that insist on making a living here, and the living environment is quite difficult. In the past, when the Internet was not developed enough, the Red Bookstore was not only a bookstore, but also a foothold of information and culture, and its business scope was far more than the carrier of books, but covered the mouth-tapping records, movie DVDs, underground publications, private videos, etc., as a supplement to the information of the Internet era, providing a distribution center for avant-garde culture for the artistic youth at that time. However, in the face of the decline of physical institutions, store owners are also focusing more on the books themselves, continuing to continue the spirit of independent bookstores.
