What bookstores are worth visiting in Jinan?

Qianmo Bookstore

The location of Qianmo Bookstore can be said to be excellent. Jinan Jingwei District was originally an old commercial port area. Now it can be said to be a gathering area for indigenous residents and barbecue restaurants. There are so many restaurants in this area that you can only know which ones are better by tasting them one by one. The few hundred meters to the east from the north gate of Zhongshan Park on Jingsan Road have a different temperament. In addition to the Qianmo Bookstore, there are also the Palace Photo Studio and the Bianyifang Lu Cuisine Restaurant next to it.

Qianmo Bookstore has two floors of space. The first floor is book display, bar and a large table. The books on the second floor are just for decoration, mainly three or four tables for four people. In addition to books, there are also drinks and snacks. Most of the books are brand new with plastic covers, so you need to buy them first if you want to read them.

The store has many photography books, as well as a medium format tilt-shift film camera and a handheld film camera as furnishings. Photography enthusiasts may wish to take a look.

Pinju Bookstore

As you can see, Pinju Bookstore has three stores in Jinan, among which the Plaza 66 store is located in the city center and has a superior location.

The positioning of Pinju is roughly "books + tea + cultural activities". Sometimes we invite big names and small celebrities from all walks of life to do sharing activities, and sometimes there are small concerts. All activities will also be announced through the WeChat official account.

Ruiding Island Life Aesthetics Book Bar

Ruiding Island has some original books from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is a "24-hour" bookstore. But I strongly recommend calling ahead to ask, as there is a possibility that they may not actually be open 24 hours a day.

In addition to books and drinks, Ruiding Island also has crafts and potted plants. Of course, the most important thing is that you can sit down and read a book without limit. But the reason why the environment is only rated 3.5 stars is because Ruiding Island has a children's reading and play area, so the voices of children may affect your reading.
