Shenzhen Book City CBD Store, situated at the foot of Lianhua Hill, is a landmark of Shenzhen. Starting from its grand opening in November 2006, it has been the most popular public cultural site. This book city is seen as a name card of Shenzhen, as it implies the city’s value system.

“Throughout China, there is none like Shenzhen. The city cares so much about reading that it reserves the best area in downtown to build a book city. In such a way, the city promotes learning and humanity,” remarked by Yin Changlong, chairman and secretary of the Party Committee of Shenzhen Publishing Group.

During the 21st Shenzhen Reading Month, this huge bookstore became a center stage, welcoming crowds of readers from all over the city with a feast of more than 50 cultural activities. In addition to the 2nd Shenzhen Book Exhibition, which provided thousands of good books, activities such as Shenzhen Book Reading Forum, Reading Month Debate and the Annual Top 10 Children’s Book Award Ceremony attracted large audiences.
