Xi Yue Tang Bookstore

#beijingattractions Just a short walk from Pingleyuan Station (Line 13, Exit B), Xi Yue Tang Bookstore is a hidden summer gem. The air-conditioned space offers cool relief with its wooden shelves and quiet reading corners. Come weekdays to avoid crowds. Mornings are especially peaceful. Try their chilled fruit teas while browsing books in the natural light. Downstairs has comfy floor seats perfect for lazy afternoon reading. A great spot to beat Beijing's heat with a book in hand!
