Many book-lovers found their favorite placse closed and many neighborhoods lost their treasured local bookstores. However, these bookshops survived, and thrived despite of the challenges. While some of these places are frequented by Beijing intellectuals from academia, others are favored by common readers. One thing is for sure: If you like books, you will love them all!
