[2025 Xiamen Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Xiamen Book City (Updated Mar)

I've been visiting this bookstore since I was a child, and it has changed dramatically over the years. It now features ceiling mirrors, exhibition bookshelves, and study seats. It's perfect if you're looking for somewhere to take the kids during the winter. There's also a wide range of toys, stationary, and picture books for sale.

Always had a habit of visiting bookstores during every trip to different countries and cities, and the latest one was to Xiamen last summer! Googled around for a bookstore and saw a couple of recommendations of this Wai Tu Bookstore. It's convenient as it is just located at the exit of the nearest train station. This bookstore was bigger in real-life than i thought and saw online! It has 4 levels, with books being catergorised by theme and language. Level 2 and 3 even have merchandise stores and DIY booths for bookmark and phone cases! Definitely did not disappointment!
