Columbia O: A magical bookstore

Columbia Circle is a heritage building complex located in Yan’an area. Tsutaya Bookstore is a very popular Japanese bookstore. Located in the center of the buildings complex, and resembling more a museum than a contemporary bookstore. This is the only Tsutaya Bookstore in Shanghai. Tsutaya offers two floors of coffee shops (3), a small crafts and many books to buy from. Architecture is breathtaking. Terrace was close in our visit. To enter the bookstore you need to make reservation, don’t be surprised if next available spot is in a week time. If you come early in a rainy day, maybe will be able to enter without waiting (like us). 📍 Yan'an West Road 1262 Haonan 90 Meters, Changning #dessert #criskotsu #shanghaistyle #dessert/afternoontea #shanghai #cityoverlook #cityneversleeps #citylife #coffeelover #coffeeshop #coffeehouse #coffee #artgallery #architecture #oldarchitecture #oldshanghai #oldshanghaistyle #oldarchitecture #europeanarchitecture #restaurant #weekend #weekendrecommendations #bookstore #bookshop #books #hipsterbookstore#summervacation#urbanexplorer
