Nanjing Pioneer Bookstore | Don't say reading is tough; it's your path to viewing the world. A very inconspicuous bookstore, silently existing in an abandoned underground parking garage in Nanjing. The sign 'Pioneer Bookstore' in grey and white is obscured by the hanging ivy vines. The Thinker statue at the entrance acts like a spiritual guide. 'The stranger on the earth' is a line taken from the poetry of Austrian poet Trakl. It implies that the human spirit is forever in search of a homeland that is nowhere to be found, and a good bookstore should be the spiritual home for readers. In the hearts of readers, Pioneer is such a spiritual home. 🚇 Subway: Take the subway Line 1 or Line 3, transfer to Line 2 at Xinjiekou Station, get off at Hanzhongmen Station, and walk about 800 meters from Exit 2 to arrive. 🚌 Bus: Take bus No. 18, 317, or 532, get off at Qingliangshan Park Station, and walk about 200 meters to arrive. 🕰 Business Hours: Weekdays 10:00-21:00 Weekends 9:30-22:00 No admission fee 📖 Here is not only a place rich in books and serene environment, but also an excellent spot for checking in, taking photos, and clearing your mind. 📗 Stepping into Pioneer Bookstore is like entering a dreamy world of light and shadow.
