Although Xi'an is a city with a rich historical precipitation, there are not many bookstores that mainly sell ancient books, used books and other special books, and there are few representatives of old bookstores.
On the first floor of the antique bookstore, there are a large number of thread-bound books and calligraphy albums, as well as books on classical literature, social science history, cultural relics and archaeology. On the basement floor, in addition to the common teaching aids and children's books, there are also the most distinctive ancient books and old books in the store. They are carefully stored in display cases, which contain a considerable number of publications of the Republic of China, and some books can even be traced back to the Jiaqing period, which is quite collectible.
Various thread-bound albums and calligraphy tablets are placed in a prominent position in the forecourt area. The calligraphy is rich in types and dazzling, bringing together almost the classic works of famous masters of the past dynasties, and the thread-bound books are mainly classic ancient books such as "Zhuangzi" and "Chu Ci". There is a lack of highlights in social science and literary books, the books on the shelves have not been strictly screened, and there is also a mixture of "Harry Potter" between the four famous classics, which needs to be taken care of urgently.
The proportion of cultural relics and archaeological books on this floor is so large that it is unimaginable in other bookstores, so university teachers often come to buy them. The most local feature is the "Guanzhong Style" bookcase, which houses local chronicles and various research books related to Xi'an. Whether you are interested in the ancient capital or a tourist who has traveled here, it is worth stopping here.
There are few shopping guides in the antique bookstore, and there is no café, only two small tables at the entrance for people to rest. The bookstore does not expand into other business segments, but focuses on selling books.
