Minami-no-yama Bookstore - Institutional Review

Nanshan, which is across the river from the city, has become a gathering place for cultural and creative industries such as homestays, bookstores, and cafes in Chongqing in recent years. With the "Culture Club" as its own positioning, Minaminoyama Bookstore takes reading as the starting point, and integrates the functions of bookstore, catering, exhibitions, conferences, and guesthouses to form a complex cultural space. The fresh and simple style is welcomed by many young people, and has attracted a lot of attention among literary and artistic youths and other groups, just like an "Internet celebrity bookstore". Due to the limitation of the topic, this list focuses on the homestay part, and friends who are interested in the content of the bookstore can refer to the Chongqing bookstore recommendation list for a more detailed introduction.

Built in the Japanese modernist style, Minaminoyama is inspired by the Japanese Tsutaya Bookstore and Kenninji Temple, with large floor-to-ceiling glass and steel frames that blend the reading area named "Nymph's Slyva" into the green forest. When the weather is clear, you can overlook the city; When the fog hits, the fog is vast, and the trees appear and disappear from time to time, which has a different taste. Including the Origin and Kojoyashi stores, Minami-no-yama currently has a total of 12 rooms available for reservation, and the rooms are filled with books with different themes, which are changed regularly, and pets are not allowed to be allowed to stay for the sake of book protection. Most of the rooms have a terrace or balcony, and the size increases in proportion to the price.

At present, the study room with the largest collection of books in the store is the "St. George's Study", which is customized by Minaminoyama and the florist and the flower with the theme of "the fragrance of books combined with the fragrance of flowers", and the giant bookcase is decorated with flowers, and the scenery of the Nanshan Mountains, the Yangtze River, and the Great Golden Eagle Sculpture can be seen from the independent balcony. Normally, books placed in a hotel room are not taken seriously, but in this bookstore-themed B&B, the design is more ingenious – whether you actually read those books or not.

Art events such as ikebana, tea ceremony, and confectionery are held regularly on weekends, as well as exhibitions, salons, and live music performances are held in the bookstore from time to time. In addition, there is a French restaurant in the store, which may not be as good as a professional French restaurant, but the elegant style is enough to kill most of the restaurants attached to the B&B.

In the past, Minaminoyama used to adopt a reservation system to ensure the in-store environment and service quality, but now this regulation has been abolished. Customers who need to book a room need to pay attention to its WeChat public account "Nanzhishan Bookstore Mountain Changjun" to book online, and the price range is between 270 yuan/night and 1000 yuan/night, and the price is slightly higher on weekends. Each room can only accommodate a maximum of two people and includes two breakfasts. It is worth noting that it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the Namsan Botanical Garden to the store, so if you are coming by car, it is recommended to ask the store staff to reserve a parking space to avoid trouble.
