City Bookstore Description

What better way to clean up Sanlitun’s ‘Dirty Bar Street’ than with books? That’s right – what was once a strip of puke-splattered concrete is now a book shop, though titles are marked via the Dewey Decimal System, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that everything’s free. On our Saturday afternoon visit, the bookstore was packed with teenagers quietly studying. The new face of Bar Street.
