Shanghai Bookstore | Experience the distinct style of Sinan Books

Sinan Books Poetry Store is the largest and most comprehensive professional poetry bookstore in Shanghai, offering 1000 volumes of poetry collections in different languages. The poetry store was formerly the site of St. Nicholas Church, and Wutopia Lab created this bookstore within a church based on the concept of "Church in church." The original buildings on the east and west sides of the old church site have been transformed into cafes. 🏠 Sinan Books Poetry Store No. 16 Gaolan Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai Starting from the poetry store, it is a 470m walk (about 10min) to reach Sinan Books. The journey is mostly under the shade of plane trees, enjoying the pleasure of a city walk. The style of Sinan Books on Fuxing Middle Road is completely different from that of the poetry store. If the poetry store is a bookstore in a church, then the Sinan store is more like a "Republic of China study room" on the Shanghai Bund. Sinan Books has four floors: the first floor focuses on London Review Bookshop + history and philosophy books + cultural and creative products; the second floor on coffee + books; the third floor on art exhibitions + books + cultural and creative products; and the fourth floor is an event space. Particularly special is its staircase made of poetry, which, combined with the lighting, has a unique charm. 🏠 Sinan Books Sinan Store No. 517 Fuxing Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai Attention: You can only use mobile phones to take photos inside the bookstore, cameras are not allowed.

The Sinan Books Poetry Store is located in a church. Its onion-shaped top reminds me of Russian and Turkish architecture. The interior is arranged in an innovative and compelling way, enticing visitors to browse the goods on offer. You can also buy small religious ornaments as well as attractive cultural and creative products.
