Hi my dear Steemit friends 🌹,

親愛的Steemit朋友們：

How's everything? Last time I showed you how attractive the environment and architecture of Peking University are, did you like it? ☘️ This time, let's explore something different: I'll show you around the PKU Bookstore !!📚 But guess what? The Bookstore is definitely NOT an ordinary one! Why? Let's go and find out!

大家好！上次我和大家一起探索了北大美麗的景色與建築，大家喜歡嗎？☘️ 這次我打算和大家一起發掘一些與眾不同的東西，比如說——北大書店！！📚 大家一定會想：書店有什麼好看的？可是我可以十分肯定地告訴大家：這絕對是一家別具特色的書店！為什麼呢？就讓我們出發吧！

I expected the PKU Bookstore to be retro before I went📻, but it wan't!! It's actually one of the most contemporarily designed bookshops I've ever visited. But to be frank it didn't seem to fit well into the overall "feeling" of the uni ;ppp

我還以為北大書店會是走復古路線呢📻，結果它不僅不是，而且稱得上是我去過設計得最現代化的書店之一！不過說實話，這跟北大的風格有點相違呢XD

Stepping into the bookstore, I was shocked to see how flawless it's decorated: 🎨

走進書店後看到這無瑕的設計與燈光，我驚呆了🎨：

And I thought I went to an exhibition where all the books displayed were exhibits:

我還以為自己走進了一間展覽館，而書架上的書就像一件件整齊的展品：

I could tell they've made a lot of effort designing the bookshelves, and the bookstore as a whole: 📚

可以看出，他們真的花了很多心血在書櫃、以至於整個書店的裝修與設計上：📚

We all like some green plants in a pretty bookstore, don't we? ☘️

我們都喜歡在漂亮的小書店裏有綠葉的陪襯，不是嗎？☘️

The bookstore is spacious. You can even enjoy the time of your own sitting on a perfectly designed Chinese-styled cushion reading your favourite books: ☀️

這個書店挺寬敞的，我們可以坐在精緻的中國風墊子上享受只屬於自己的午後時光：☀️

Most of the books are published by the University's own press:

這裏許多書都是北大自家出版社出版的：

There were also many books relating to the history and development of the University. Some of them were about the story of the University's student and their parents!! :))

還有很多關於北大歷史與發展的書。有些還是關於北大學生與家長多年來的在北大的體會呢！

Interesting Facts: This book is called "So, that's how I get into Peking University". It is about the stories of many freshmen to the University: how they overcame the obstacles before getting into the Uni, how they continued to thrive for excellence when they were admitted, and how their parents coped with their phycological stress... It seems to be a nice book for those who want to get into Peking University! 📙📘

趣味小知識：這本書叫「就這樣考上北大」。它講述了許多北大新生和家長的求學故事與心路歷程：如何克服重重困難考進北大、如何應對激烈的競爭、如何克服各種心裏壓力...... 如果你或者你的孩子想考入北大，你可能會對這本書有興趣哦！📙📘

Of course there were books on other topics:

當然，他們還有好多其他主題的書：

Books written by one of my favourite writers - Eileen Chang ✒️

我最愛的作者之一——張愛玲的書：✒️

Overall, it's a nicely decorated and designed bookstore:) If you are planning to visit Peking University, you may wanna drop by and see if there's anything you want! I think I'd stop here:) Next time I'll introduce more of my life at Peking University to you! Hope you'll like it! ❤️
