Anywhere with books for sale is automatically a lovely place to be, but this new bookstore in southwest China has attracted more and more customers with its amazing display of shelves.

The shop, located in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan, was designed by Li Xiang and her architectural firm. As Li mentioned on Instagram, she drew inspiration from Dujiangyan's ancient irrigation system, which uses the rivers running in and around the city. You can obviously see its influence on her work; the towering arches and winding staircases can evoke images of flowing water, and the mirrored ceiling makes the room seem unlimited. ArchDaily points out that the curved display tables on the black tiled(平 铺 的) floor even look like boats in deep, peaceful water. Taking in the entire scene can cause you to have a similar sense of awe that you might feel when observing a natural landscape.

Then, there are the books themselves. While shelves stretch up to the ceiling, visitors don't have to worry about certain volumes being much too far to reach. The highest “shelves” are actually just wallpaper printed to look like bookshelves. The store also houses a children's reading area, complete with green bamboo bookshelves, pictures of pandas, and bright-colored cushions.

It's not the first time the architectural firm has created a space for book lovers. The Dujiangyan shop is the latest in the firm's Zhongshuge series of bookstores around China, including locations in Beijing, Ningbo, Guiyang and Chongqing. There are certain recurring design elements—like mirrored ceilings, curved shelves, and archways—but each has its own distinct style.

Standing in the amazing bookstore,we have seen a city,listened to the dialogue of culture and wisdom,experienced the ancient feelings under the poetry,and realized the dream picture deep in our minds.
