"Da Yin is hidden in the city", the first store of Dayin Bookstore is selected in the noisy Wukang Building on Huaihai Middle Road, adjacent to the former residence of Song Qingling. The entrance of the Wukang Building store of Dayin Bookstore happens to be a bus stop, because the distance between the building and the road is extremely narrow, and the pedestrians waiting for the bus have nowhere to sit, and there is no way to shelter from the sun and rain.
In addition to the Wukang Building store, Dayin Bookstore currently has 5 branches in Shanghai, and Dayin Jingshe on Chongqing South Road is the flagship store of the Dayin series. The façade is made of bamboo rows, from the bookshelves, coffee tables to the ground and door railings, all of which are wood-colored, and the whole bookstore is full of strong Tang and Song Dynasty literary and ink style.
Literature, history, philosophy and art are the main book selection directions of Dayin Books, and there are also popular books such as bestsellers and children's picture books. However, the selection of books is not good, and the level of recommended books in the store is obviously not high. In addition to books, cultural and creative goods such as tea sets, agarwood, postcards, pens, and book tickets are also available.
When you get to the Dayin Bookstore, you should go into the tearoom and sit down. The style of the tea room is very clear, and the design is similar to that of Japanese Japanese. Not only the reading room, but also the tea room can be used as a meeting room or for a gathering of friends, ordering a pot of tea and a few sweets and snacks. If you don't want a private room, you just want to sit down and rest comfortably, and you can enter the public tea room to sit down and read after ordering tea.
Dayin Bookstore attaches great importance to the connection between each store and the surrounding community, and often holds some cultural activities, such as tea art courses, guqin courses, oil painting courses and other experience courses, and invites experts and scholars to hold cultural lectures, art salons, theatrical performances and other rich activities for the surrounding residents. Therefore, rather than being a bookstore, Dayin Bookstore is more of a center of community culture.
The reputation of Dayin Bookstore has gradually become a tourist destination, and there are often tourists who come to take pictures and check in. In addition, the tea room is private in space, but the sound insulation effect is not good, and when reading books in the store, you can often hear the noise coming from the tea room, which affects the reading experience of other readers.
